Cotton
is worth sixteen cents i

Bamberg?or was Tuesday. We ar
sorry now that we sold that bale c
cotton we raised about ten years age
pTiV. i ;
Just think how prosperous we woul
have been if we had held it!

\ ' We notice many of our exchange
are committing themselves to a cei
tain candidate for governor two year
hence. Mighty bad policy, brothers
committing yourselves this early i
the game. Lots of things are liabl
to happen within two years' time.

Governor Manning and a party c
experts are on a trip to the bo

all about that pest. We hope the
will succeed in keeping him awa

enough trouble trying to collect froi
our delinquent subscribers already.
GREATER STATE FAIR.
Will Be Held in Columbia Octobe
23 to 27. j
$k- *
Columbia, Sept. 30.?Continuou
a advances in quotations for cotton an
the unprecedented prices for cotto
seed indicate that all previous al
tendance records upon the State fai
are to be shattered this year. Prei
arations are being made rapidly fo
the early installation of exhibits, an
reservations are being taken daily fo
special exhibits of farm machiner
and other appropriate displays fo
the annual agricultural celebratio
while numerous booths are bein
constructed by churches and other oi
ganizations for lunch rooms and re
r freshment stands. Consensus c
opinion is that when farmers ove
the State are receiving approximate
. ly $100 fo? a bale of cotton and th
seed a trip is likely to be made t
the State fair October 23 to 27.
A distinct feature of fair wee
will be the Harvest Jubilee. Thi
festival, introduced last year was a
enthusiastic success throughout th
week, and was the means of bring
ing thousands to Columbia wh
would not have been otherwise dis
posed to com? to the fair. A quee
of the jubilee is to be selected agai
this year in a manner similar to tha
of last fall and a ball will be give
in her honor, following the corona
tion ceremony in front of the cap:
- tol.
:> Horse racing is to be maintaine
Yiv a hip-h strata nf nremiums thi
year. More than $1,700 will be con
peted for in prizes in the differer
events, and some particularly hig
quality animals will be seen in a<
tion on the fair ground turf.
Football games will be played o
two days of fair w'eek, and this alor
will induce many to attend. Fre
acts are to be placed on the grounc
again this year as last, some of tt
specialties being extraordinarily a
\ tractive.
) A meeting was held in Columbi
last week, when the farm demonstr?
tion agent forces agreed to combir
their exhibits into one comprehensn
State-wide display of farm product
The county by county exhibit pla
will tlnffe be abandoned, and all e
hibits arranged according to crop
with all necessary information as
production and fertilizer and sc
analysis data. The home demnstr
tion forces will also prepare an inte
esting display.
All railroads are arranging suit
ble schedules to bring the larj
crowds to the fair, and the lowe
possible rate will prevail over ?
lines.

^ TANKS HELPED TAKE THIEP1
= Wonderful Tales Told of Odd F
= ing Machines Used by Britisl
e
n In the lull which has occurre*
l" ter the great two days' battle,
g
which five villages and 5,000 pr
k ers were taken by the allies, the
a respondent of the Associated I
J has had the opportunity to g
e many stories from the particip;
t- These stories were not only of <
age and heroism but of a humor
paradox possible only in such
t* plicated and remorseless warfare
The most wonderful of all the
k told was perhaps that of one ol
[ tanks,
or new armored motor
y which started for Berlin on its
:s account. This monstrous land :
^ ambling and rambling along, did
1 wait on the infantry after the ta

~ and a desire for revenge was a fc
,r er to their courage. They went *
n it with the avidity of prehistoric
f stalking a wounded mammoth
in one of the alleys of the cave d1
- ers.
? According to the accounts give
the British officers with verac
solemnity while the tank's mac
n gun blazed right and left, som
? the Germans managed to creep a
* the trenches under the forelegs
\
' hind legs of the crouching. b<
^ Then they swarmed over it loo
for an opening through which
strike at its vitals.. They fired 1
IS rifles into joints and bombed ii
over, but to no more avail than b
s lars trying to reach the inside
battleship's turret with a jimmy.
n the while the tank's machine i
e kept busy at the human target
reach while its crew of chosen c
- devils concluded to stick until
starved or the Germans found
^ proper can opener.
Rescued the Tank.
* Finally the British infantry in

With a cheer they rushed the
mans, and overwhelmed them. ?
the crew of the tank heard the la

,r opened the door and called out:
are all right if you will only ge
some more juice so that the old
o can have a guzzle of her pr
0 ~
d drink and we can take the

So the infantry formed a lin
r front of the tank determined tc
). fend her to the last while a ru
,r was hurried back for a can of %
line. The gasoline arrived and
r beast, having taken a swallow,
y bled back into reserve amidst
,r cheering. It left behind 250 i
n Germans, acocrding to its comi
g der.

Lived in Comfort.
Not only at this village, bul
at along the ridge upon which hang
whole Anglo-French movement,
fAL. the same maze of warrens where the fjZi:
Germans lived with all the comforts I (P
ight- of home. The Hundred and Eighth
had congelled its brains to make
Tliiepval the very last word in this
j af_ kind of defence. It was this sort of |
in preparation which stopped the Brit-:
ison- attack on July 1. Then, as the!
cor_ British infantry charged, after the J
>ress artillery bombardment, the Germans
dean Popped out of their hiding places with
ants, machine guns and swept the lines of
,0Ur- khaki with their deadly spray. Bit
and by bit since July 1 the British have
com- worked their way forward. Last
a week, when they went after Thieptales
val and I*10 Zollern redoubt, the Brit:
the *sh soldiers were at the doors of the
cars, dugouts almost as' soon as the last
own shell of the preliminary bombardship,
ment had burst. A hurricane of
I not shell fire kept the Germans in their
king burrows and when it had lifted the
over British had arrived,
king Kept the Faith,
tpric Though the Germans in many dug
Dunct outs where their galleries of escape
aged were closed, surrendered in bodies, in
gun other instances they kept the faith
that the Hundred and Eighth would
die before it ever surrendered Thiepthis
val. All of yesterday the British i
osity were prying for the entrances to dug?ack
outs in the blackened ruins of the
ifter town amid the stench of all kinds of
man explosives as well as gas and lachryfast
matory shells. There was sporadic
hand-to-hand fighting and at inter-!
vals Germans appeared from the bown
bv eis 0f the earth with their hands up
nous and surrendered to the British solbine
diers who were smoking cigars found
e of in the German dugouts.
l?nS Persistent Digging.

*are" and he thought that they were prisoners
left behind, but as he went tothe
ward them one shot him dead. Both
thep disappeared in the earth. Later
on other Germans came to the
L surface and began firing into the
5 re~ back of a party of British pioneers
jppg
* who promptly dropped their shovels
^ and took after the burrowers. When
