Bamberg defeated the Blackviile
team on the home grounds, last Friday,
the score being 11 to 4. The
game was void of features, as Bamberg
had the visitors completely outclassed.
The locals hi? the ball hard
and the errors were numerous for
the visitors. Batteries: Blackville,v
Barclay and Boyleston; Bamberg,
Ttentz, L., and Cooner. It is not very
likely that the home tehm will play
any more games this season, and this
game winds up a very successful season
for the home boys.
Appreciates Good Service.
In speaking of the postoffice yesterday,
a prominent citizen of the
town complimented the office very
highl^ upon its rapid growth and its
?i- excellent management. He stated
') that he had noted the advance the
' y postoffice has made within the past
three or four years, and said that the
postoffice had gone way ahead of
everything else in the town, and he
attributed this growth to the good
service that has been given in the
office under the present administration.
Incidentally it may be stated
that this gentleman is one of the
leading patrons of the postoffice and
is in a position ?to know whether or
not good service is given.

Demonstration Last Thursday.
Only a small number of men and
women were present at the cooking
demonstration and farmers' meeting
at th? court house lasit Thursday, and
those who did not attend missed
quite a treat. Mrs. Faust, the county
domestic science demonstrator,
was present, as was also Miss Ray,
the Barnwell demonstrator. These
ladies conducted a very instructive
cooking and canning demonstration.
Tluey had a canning outfit with them,
and demonstrated the proper
methods of canning fruits and vegetables.
Messrs. W. R. Elliott, the district
farm agent, of Winnsboro, and H. G.
Boyleston, the Barnwell demonstrator,
of Blackville, made instructive
talks to the few persons present.
Mr. Heard states that another
meeting will be held some time next
month, at which time several speakers
of State-wide prominence will be
invited to be present and make addresses.

Anthracnose in County. ^
County Farm Demonstrator J. J.
Heard stated Monday that he had received
information from different
parts of the county as to the presence
of anthracnose. As the people generally
are not fully informed as to
this cotton disease, he stated for the
information of the farmers* that it
first appears as a small brown speck
on the cotton boll. This speck grows
until the boll finally rots and falls
from the stalk. The only remedy,
said Mr. Heard, Jhat is known at
this time is the planting of seed that
is at least three years old. By
planting old seed, the disease will not
bother notton. Anthraonose is a
germ disease, and the germs do not
live through the third year in cotton
seed. It is suggested that every farmer
who is troubled with the disease
this year had betiter adopt the plan
of planting old seed, as this is the
only way to combat this enemy.
t
Cotton Opening Fast.
Cotton is reported to be opening C
very fast. The very hot weather of
the past few weeks has forced the
mature bolls open, and many farmers
are now busy with their harvest- c
ing. Many of the gins of the county ^
have already started up business, t
and considerable cotton is now being c
placed upon the market. The pres- i
ent excellent price for the staple is i
causing the majority of farmers to 1
sell their staple as fast as it is gin- r
ned out. It is the prevailing opinion e
that as long as cotton fetches 13 t
cents or more per pound when first (
picked out, it is always safe to sell; l
although it is predicted that there I
will be a general holding movement i
among the farmers later in the sea- 2
son. It is hard to say just what the t
condition of the cotton crop is, as 1
there is a wide difference of opinion c
among the planters. The old cotton
is generally reported to be very good, 1
and it seems difficult to say just c
what the young cotton will do yet. s
The acreage in Bamberg county is
about equally divided between young (
and old cotton. 2

Election Tuesday.
The first primary election will be
held next Tuesday, at which time the
enrolled voters of the county will
ballot for nominees for the various
county and State offices. The polls
will be open at eight o'clock and will .
close at four in the afternoon. The
managers have been requested by
the county chairman to forward the
result of the vote, as soon after the
box is closed as the votes are counted,
to him at the court house, the expense
of which will be paid, as usual,
by the party.
A full list of the candidates for
county offices have been published in
The Herald. The county campaign
will close with the meeting at Bamberg
today. All of the candidates
have been given a cordial reception
all over the county. There is not
so much interest in the county campaign
as usual, and no material issues
have been developed. The campaign
this year seems to be one of ^
men rather than issues.
c
As is usual, The Herald will print
its next week's edition one day earlier
than usual, in order to give its
readers the election news as early
g
as possible. Herald readers may expect,
.therefore, to receive their copies
of the paper one day earlier than ^

FORETELLS SECOND RACE.
Sparks Predicts Manning and Blease
Will Conduct Second Campaign.
Columbia, Aug. 19.?Ten days before
the primary election in South
Carolina there is every indication
tftat tnere win De a second race oetween
Richard I. Manning, incumbent,
and C. L. Blease, former governor
of the State. This prediction
made two weeks ago caused a storm
of protest on the part of the press of
the State supporting Robert A. Cooper.
However, every fact connected
with the situation would indicate
that the present governor will fight
it out in a second primary.
It has been the custom in South
Carolina to grant governors two
terms. No man has ever been elected
governor a third term, and -this
fact will lose many votes to Mr.
Blease, who it must be said has been
conducting his campaign this year
on a much different basis as compared
with previous efforts.
Mr. Manning has been standing
squarely on his record and has not
assailed any of his opponents in bitter
language. The governor firmly
believes that the people of -the State
will not repudiate his programme of
progressive, legislation. He will go
into the election with all of the facts
known by the people and will depend
on their good judgment.
Robert A. Cooper, of Laurens, is
a clean and good man. One of his ardent
admirers said not long ago:
"Bob Cooper is as clean as a hound's
tooth." His admirer was right.
TT il X -3 ~ iUnl
nuwever, mat uucs nut mean mai
Mr. Cooper will be in the second race
for governor. It means that he may
\
be the choice of the people at some
date not far distant.
Manning vs. Blease.
As the election time draws nearer
the people in all sectidns of the State
are beginning to realize that Manning
is the man to defeat Bleaseism
in South Carolina. No matter what
some may say, Blease is still an issue
in South Carolina politics. He
will always be more or less an issue.
Or rather his record as the chief executive
of the State will always be
an issue.
During the past week at least two
candidates have declared against the
policies of government as expounded
by Mr. Blease. One of those men
was Mr. Cooper.
Practically every fair-minded man
| in South Carolina will agree that Mr.
i Manning has made a good governor.
His record is open to the world'.
Nothing has been concealed. There
has been no secret alignments between
the governor and-corporations.
In fact, a great majority of the
bankers of the State are fightipg Mr.
Manning simply because he is frying
to apply a just and equitable tax law
to: the banking institutions." The
governor refused to apply bayonet
rule to the cotton mill people during
strikes in the Piedmont section, and*
this brought wrath onjthe head of
Mr. Manning. These same corporation
people, it might be added, are
among the most'ardent supporters of
Mr. Cooper.
Manning and Labor.
Governor Manning has given much
of his time and attention to laws that
will benefit the great mass of mill
workers in South Carolina. He urged
the passage and approved the
weekly pay act. Again the wrath of
cotton mill presidents was brought
down on him. He approved the antidocking
law, and again played into
disfavor with the corporations. During
Governor Manning's administration
a law has been passed to prevent
negroes from working in textile
plants with white people.
The most serious charge that has
been brought against Governed Manning
is that he is a "lawless gov-ernor."
Every one acquainted with
State politics knows that he was
fleeted on a law enforcement platform
in 1914. He promised to clean
up Charleston and has made good in
his efforts. No one section has been
left untouched by the governor's campaign
for law observance. He sent;
men to Greenville and in cooperation
with the local authorities put a crimp
in violators of the law in that city.
Will Cnrrv Phaplftston.
Despite the campaign for law enforcement
Gov. Manning will carry
Charleston county. Taking Charleston
into consideration and compared
with other sections of the State only
the sun spots have been shown.
There are more law-abiding citizens
in the city by the sea than violators.
The violators are known, while the
law-abiding citizens go quietly about,
their progress.
There has been much talk about
the State Hospital for the Insane.
This institution should be near and
dear to the hearts of the people ol
South Carolina. No class of citizenship
is exempt from the ravages of
insanity. Gov. Manning entered office
firmly determined to place the
South Carolina hospital for the insane
on an equal footing with other
States. He determined, regardless
of political consequences to do every-!
thing within the power of science to j
relieve the suffering of the State's j
The Denmark Meeting.
The county candidates addressed a
large audience at Denmark Tuesday.
The meeting was characterized by
the presence of an unusually large
numbers of ladies. A careful and respectful
hearing was given all candidates.
After the speaking a barbecue dinner
was served on the grounds. The
meeting was held under the Southern
railway cotton shed.
Olar a Growing Place.
The town of Olar is fast rebuilding
after the fire of a few months
ago which wiped away many of the
buildings in the business part of
town. Ular is a tnriving place, ana g
a great volume of business is transacted
there. The town has several
stores that compare very favorably (
with the stores of the large cities.
Olar is situated fourteen miles from
Bamberg, on the S. A. L. railway,
and the people of the town feel that
it has a great future ahead of it. The
town is surrounded by a fine farming
country.
Time for Haste.
A little 5-year-old McCordsville (
miss has a stepfather of whom she is
very fond. One day the stepfather
suffered from a violent headache,
and his wife went to the kitchen to
prepare some domestic remedy. Lillian
waited quietly for some time for
her mother to return and relieve the
sufferer. Losing patience, she went " ?
to the kitchen door and energetically
called out:
"Mama, if you don't hurry up f*
you're going to have another husband
to bury."
unfortunate wards. He went about
the big job in a business-like manner
and results have been secured. Jk
Information secured from the rec-'
ords of the asylum show that the
death rate has been reduced about 40
ner cent. vThis means that where
100 persons died^a one month under
the old regime only 60 are now dying.
The death rate will be further
reduced when the governor's programme
has been carried out. If
Gov. Manning should be kicked out
of the governor's office and repudiat- ,
ed by the people, the chances are
that the development work at the
asylum would be stopped, but he has
built a monument by the work already
done. Despite this record for
the care and protection of less fortunate
humanity some of the opponents
of the governor have hopped
on to the asylum record and
would have him damned. The people
of the State are beginning to understand
the wonderful work at the
asylum and the prediction is made ,
that it will gain him votes rather
than lose them.
Outlook for Second Race.
A great many of the supporters
of Mr. Cooper will go to Gov. Man
ning in a "second race with Mr.
Blease. Mr. Cooper has already won
a great many Blease supporters, especially
in the Piedmont section of
the State.
The present campaign has been
comparatively mild. There has been
very few bitter passages of words. V
Mr. Blease has been severe in his
charges against the Manning administration.
One of the most serious
charges is that the administration
has been lawless. This is a very ^
thin charge and even the supporters
i
of Mr. Blease smile when they hear
it. The blind tigers of the State t
know full well that Mr. Manning's -r?
administration has not been lawless.
They to a man will vote against him.
The election will be held August
29 and , again the prediction is reiterated
that Mr. Manning and Mr.
Blease will be the leaders.?Joe
