Thursday, October 19, 1916. ?? ~ ?? Flour is worth ten dollars a bar/ rel, and dealers and jobbers say it is going to twelve or fifteen dollars. There is no reason for the people of Bamberg county to send to the West for their flour. Our soil can and will . make good wheat. Every farmer should plant a liberal patch in wheat for his own consumption, at least, and at the present prices he ought to make something raising for market. Don't fail to plant some wheat this fall, whatever .you do. As long as you have land which will grow wheat, , you cannot afford to send ten or : twelve-dollars to the West for a barrel of flour. 5|v ; The boll weevil is no myth and 'it is no joke, and it is coming our way. We are told that there is no method , now known of exterminating the pest, J?ut the damage can be kept at Sjjj V a minimum by diversification. There will doubtless be a big loss to the farmers before they fully realize the situation. We are told that the best <v . thing# to do to insure against great financial loss from the weevil is to P plant plenty of corn, small grain, potatoes, and foodstuffs of all kinds, and raise plenty of hogs and cattle. .* > By the way, the idea of raising your own meat and bread is no new one, of course, but it is a mighty fine ? '' thing. You know that flour is selling f. ing for ten dollars a barrel now, with !? ? the promise of going to twelve soon. Boll weevil or no boll weevil, the -A ' ' x farmers of Bamberg county ought to raise their own food on their own farms, and if the weevil can make the people do this, it will not have I visited us entirely in vain. We are r very much afraid that seventeen ^ cents cotton is going to bankrupt I- some of our farmers. The Republican party, which is trying to elect Mr. Charles E. Hughes president, must consider that the great American republic is composed of a gullible people. Here is a sample excerpt taken from a two-page advertisement in one of the leading Pmagazines: European dignitaries are opening v their morning mail. They see a large V envelope with a due stamp on it. "Who's that from?" they ask. "Only old Uncle Sam," says the secretary. "Chuck it in the waste basket," they say. "He won't do anything." If that is a fair sample of the propaganda used against President Wilson, and it is about as good as anything we have seen, the Republican party is certainly hard up for arguments. That's the sort of weapons they are using against Wilson. And this said advertisement probably cost several thousand dollars to print even in one magazine. The Republicans ha*e millions at their beck and call. The Democrats have to scrape up small individual contributions, and they cannot afford to have big advertisements in the magazines. Perhaps the American people will cnrollmr on r> Vi oil 1 tr cinfp oo f Vi r* o Kmro U ?? W11VTT UUVXX kJlliJ CVU11 (AO vuv uuv ? V, but we are not yet prepared to believe it. In the meantime, send The Herald your dollar to help along the good old Democratic cause. It is stated that election tickets with Cole L. Blease's name for governor will be distributed for the general election in November. / Mr. Blease has never stated, so far as we lrnnw that Via WAiild ha o PonHidfltP iiuv " ) VAXCAV "V VU1U VV Ur VMAA VAAVAVW V V for governor in the general election; on the other hand he has not disavowed his intention of allowing these tickets to be distributed. The natural deduction is that he is willing to be put in the general election. Several Blease papers^ have openly declared in favor of Mr. Blease entering the general election this year, and one of them lias urged upon tf voters to support Mr. Hughes, should be borne in mind that r Democrat can vote for either Bleas or Hughes in the general electic without violating the oath he sul scribed to when he voted in the pr mary elections last summer. Most i the Blease papers have denied th; there will be any bolt, but the fa tickets with Blease's name as a cai didate for governor will be distribu ed indicates that there is already bolt. All this stuff about the pr mary being permeated with fraud ar that Blease really received a major ty of the votes is nothing but sil bunk, and is published for the effe that it may have. Manning was elec ed in as honest a primary as has ev< been held in the State; and no or knows it better than those who hai ^been crying fraud this year. Thei [has never been a primary whei * . ji 1 there were no irregularities ana pro ably never will be in this State, j least under the present system; bi there was no more irregularity th year than usual. In fact, we belies it was about the cleanest primary v have ever seen in the State. C course we don't believe that thei are many who take any stock in\suc talk, and we sincerely hope that r one will be deceived into violatir his oath because of the harangue < a few disgruntled and defeated leai ers.

Ritter, o? the Olar sei tion, was in The Herald office Satu: day. He told us of having recen ly sold a bale of long staple cotto for $147.00. Long staple cotton bringing a fine price this year, an farmers who planted it are reaping splendid profit on their investmei and labor. Mr. Ritter says that it is not difl cult to grow long staple cotton. T1 tJAJJCUSt?, lit; scijs, 10 iiv gicaici mo that required to grow ordinary sho: .staple. The amount of cotton ha vested is not a great deal less tha short staple, although more seed co ton is required to gin out a bale < lint. However, Mr. Ritter says, tl profit on long staple is far great< than on short staple, and the lam of Bamberg county are ideally adap ed to growing it. Many farme: around Olar, and in other parts < the county, have planted long stap on a small scale. There appears 1 always be a ready mafrket for lor staple. Cotton Ginnings.
