|k GREETINGS, GOV. MANNING!
5:_ Law and order has triumphed.
Good government has won the hardest
fought battle since 1876, and the
Tn"of victory since the
V 4JUI/0W lAXi^VA VMMv - ^
State was redeemed from radical rule
was won at the polls yesterday. The
0:/ issue before the people of the State
c^V. Tuesday was whether or not the programme
of law enforcement, as promulgated
by Governor Manning two
years ago, was to continue.
The voice of the people has spokfv
en.. Governor Manning, we hail you
|pVv as one of the great Democratic govf,
ernors of these United States of
America. May the old ship of State
continue on her way, unhampered
and unhindered.
Now that the elections are all over,
we renew our suggestion made some
j time ago, that the county commissioners
contract with the farmers to
drag the roads of the county. Let
J every few miles of road be assigned
j /. to some farmer with teams, so that
? | it may be dragged after every rain,
or as often as the needs of the road
make it necessary. In this way every
?&mile of good roads already built may
be maintained at a minimum of cost.
One team, we are informed, can easily
drag several miles of road in one
day. Roads so dragged will be kept
f in good condition, and save the county
a lot of money in repairs, because
a drag will repair an ordinary road,
S if it is not in too bad a condition.
This is written before the primary
election was held, and we have no
idea what the result of the primary
will be. After the first primary the
vigilance committee of the citizens'
mass meeting prepared a statement
for the newspapers, in which the
committee stated that it had sufficiently
investigated certain reports
of liquor being used in the primary
to justify it in fearing that there was
- - * _
iounaation ror sucn reports. ine
statement went on to say that it did
not wish to prejudice the candidacy
of any candidate, and for this reason
would defer taking any action toward
prosecution until after the second
primary. By the time this is
read the primary will have been over
and the results probably known. We
hope that the committee will not now
drop the matter. It is due each one
of the candidates in the first and sec7
ond primaries that these charges be
m thoroughly investigated and such action
as may be necessary taken to
punish the guilty parties, if such
there be. If there was liquor or any
other illegal methods used, in either
primary, the matter should be cleared
up, and the guilt placed where it
belongs. We have no idea that the
committee expects to drop the matter,
for it is composed of men whose
purpose cannot be doubted. At the
time the statement was published, we
deemed it out of place for any editorial
comment to be made, as the
statement covered the matter thor
oughly. The Herald has, of course,
not investigated any of the reports,
and has no first-hand information
relative to the use of whiskey or
money in the primary, but we stand
squarely with the committee in the
wish to have clean elections and believe
any infractions of the primary
laws should be punished, and the
name of every candidate not connected
with the alleged violations should
be cleared of any connection therewith.
The county chairman has
pledged his cooperation, and we trust
that all charges and rumors will be
speedily cleared up.

Crystal Spring Clippings.
(
Crystal Spring, Sept. 11.?This
week the nights and mornings make
us think that fall is here.
A picnic was given at Crystal
Spring on the fifth in honor of Miss
Maggie Padgett, as that day was her
birthday. Quite a number enjoyed
the day.

but we hope thatx he will soon be

Mr. J. T. Smoak is visiting friends
and relatives at Denmark this week.
Ehrhardt Etchings.
Ehrhardt, Sept. 11.?My! Where
is our Herald correspondent? Have
not seen much news from here since
last spring. To be sure, it was not
sent in. Why can't some of us back
from the mountains, springs, or have
become tired : resting, furnish
this newsy paper with the happenings
in and around our little "city?"
and is always disappointed to see
there is no news from Ehrhardt.
Our school opened last Monday
with a good enrollment in all the departments
and this session promises
to be the best in the history of the
school. Prof. Hucks has advanced
the standard of the school two
grades (from the 9th to the 11th.)
These advanced grades kept some
home that were thinking of going to
college this year, as the home school
is much cheaper. For one to finish ;
school now at this place means about
two years at college to get one a col- '
legiate diploma.
The farmers are rushing their cotton,
ginning and selling, as fast as
it can be gathered and if the fine dryweather
continues for about two
weeks longer this work will be over.
Larger crops (of all kinds) were
made this year than last and about 10
days ahead of the usual season. The
Carolina Gin Co. has ginned about
1,200 bales so far, which is a large
number for this section for so early
a date: the prices for cotton and seed
are getting the farmers in fine shape
(financially) and they are all jubilant
over their year's work. Nearly
every one has paid up his accounts
and you can see "bank books" in the
pockets of both white and colored
farmers now.
The railroad facilities here for
handling the shipments of cotton
have been taxed beyond their capacity,
as a large amount of cotton has
been placed on the ground?the shed
and platform being too small. It
would require at least a third more
platform room to fully accommodate
the rush like there has been for the
past two weeks.
The growth of the town still continues.
Several dwellings have been
built this year. L. 1VI. Hiers and
Sons have erected a handsome brick
store, and now Mr. S. W. Copeland
is preparing to build a store house
on the north side of his present store,
moving the old wooden building that
is now there to the rear. Success
seems to succeed down this way?all
except the school house.
Mr. J. C. Kinard came home about
ten days ago from Charleston, where
he was under special treatment for
a large carbuncle on his neck, which
caused blood poisoning. Mr. Kinard
was critically ill for some time and
it was feared that his recovery was
doubtful, but he has been spared and
is now doing fine and with no back
set will soon be able to join the boys
with the "rod and reel" and make
up his lost time. Mr. Kinard is the
city's present mayor, having been for
several years past.
Well, tomorrow is election day
again, which will satisfy some, as far
as being elected is concerned. The
governorship race between Messrs.
Manning and Blease being the hardest
fought. Some folks are working
hard for the wrong man, but we sincerely
hope the right one will get
the job. There is lot of money in
circulation now and for "booze" to
be easily secured will cause plenty
of trouble?we will soon know who
is who.
What has become of Col. Brabham,
the colored cotton "specialist?"
We have not seen anything from him
regarding this year's success or failure
with growing the different
shades, as he promised last year that
he was going to accomplish. May
be he is at the border, or will tell us
about it when the election is over.
According to the present styles (with
cotton goods) if Mr. Brabham will
just grow enough colors to have a
big black, pink, yellow or green stripe
(descending or ascending the skirt,
or circling the waist) every now and
tnen, ne Will De every woman ? man.
Messrs. C. Ehrhardt and J. E. Folk
rallied forth last week and tried tc
catch out the entire finny tribe at
Howell's Old Mill. They caught
some nice perch and jack. Just before
leaving time Mr. Folk landed an
old "mud" that tipped the scales at
four and one-half pounds. He says
to pull a fish like that with a long
line through bushes and snags with
one hand and fight mosquitoes with
the other is some job. Getting or
to fish stories; guess it is time tc
stop.
It was noticed a few weeks age
that Mr. Chas. Henerey, bookkeeper
at the Farmers & Merchants bank,
was looking after The Herald's interests
down here. We thought then
that Mr. Henerv was going to furnish
some good news letters for the paper,
but so far he has failed to contribute
any. Guess he is getting all
that he can do this time of season
at his post of duty. Mr. Henery is
a worthy young man and we don't
think; The Herald could have gotten
came down last week on a visit tc
any better man for this work.
Mrs. L. P. McMillan, of Bamberg,
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Lemacks.
Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Ehrhardt
and Mrs. Jacob Ehrhardt motored
up to Newberry last Tuesday on a
visit to friends and relatives, returning
home Saturday.
Messrs. Stacy Kearse, Raleigh
Kinard and Harry Copeland visited
the city by the sea Sunday evening,
returning early Monday morning,
making the trip in an auto.
