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

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.

Long Staple Cotton.
Mr. J. O. 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.
