The Herald management began to j
get pretty uneasy last Thursday when
the mill closed down on account of
the strike. The Herald has an electric
generator at the cotton mill, operated
by the mill's engines, which
supplies the day current for the plant.
Of course our current stopped with
the mill shutting down. The office
happened to be flooded with an unusual
amount of work, some of which
had to be delivered on a certain date.
Of course we were mighty glad when
the mill started operations again.
We are also glad that a settlement
, was effected, for. of all times, we
- - - - ' - i. MA.. 1 J Kr,

selected for a strike of any kind.
A few days ago this dispatch appeared
in the papers from Charleston.
W. Va.:
Every able-bodied male of West
Virginia between the ages of 16 and
-60 must work at least 36 hours a
week under a law passed yesterday
by both houses of the legislature, j
The bill was urged by Governor j
Cornwell as a war measure.
Such a law has much to commend j
itself, and it would not be a bad
measure for every State to enact during
the war. Loafers have no place
in a nation that is confronted by a
food crisis. Even though a person
is financially able to refrain from
work, somebody must work to make
bread and meat for him, and he takes
just that much food without giving
anything in return for it except mon\
x ey?and one cannot eat money. And i
there are a great many peppie wno
manage somehow to live and ifever j
give either money or work for the i
living. Bamberg has some of both j
classes, and the sooner they are put i
work the better off everybody will be. !
The present agitation of the so- j
called "reformers" is such small pol- j
itics that it is hardly worthy of men-!
tion, and we are surprised that some i
of the leading newspapers are giving!
so much free space to advertising it. j
The thing is so absurd that it is |
laughable. For any man, who boast- j
ed on the stump that he would make j
his enemies sweat blood and wished
for all kinds of disasters to fall on !
him if he ever failed to "stand by
his friends," to howl because some
of his personal followers failed to be
appointed to responsible positions by
the man who defeated him, is to display
anew a characteristic personality
which South Carolina is fortunate
to be rid of just at this time.
The criticism of the governor for
failure to raise a third regiment is
another instance of smallness. The
following comment by J. M. DesChamps?who
is not a fool, whatever
else one may think of him?expresses
the matter pretty thoroughly:
This same element in our State is
not only loud in fauit finding with out
^ 'n?ir>n ie anuallv
OldlC clUiiiiij.'Mi ai:v/u v vi t ic >
ready to find fault with the admin- j
iStration of our nation. Such con- j
duct,is but little short of treason.!
For the leadership of Mr. Wilson is |
such as will unite our nation into one j
solid citienship as it has never been ;
united since its very founding, to say J
nothing of the undreamed of bless- I
ing he will confer upon the entire j
world abroad.
The present third regiment agitation
going on is the cheapest politics
I have yet witnessed in South Carolina.
Because, when diligent efforts
were being made in the recent sessions
of our legislature to increase
the State apropriation for military
purposes those who are yelling for a
third regiment now were strongest
in their opposition to the proposed
increased and necessary appropriations
then. 1 was present and observed
this, with keen pain to myself.
I never felt so painfully humiliated
for this loved State in my life
as while observing the shameful lack
of appreciation of and for our State
military forces, and I expressed my
humiliation freely to those about me.
For I fully realize that the best of
our laws are just so strong and no
stronger than the organized, trained,
armed forces back of them.
The present howl only reveals the
unfortunate political condition our
State is in. It shows to us that we
are still cursed with an undue amount
of self-seeking politicians when we
might be blest with a larger per cent,
of self-sacrificing statesmen, who
seek not their own good but the good
of our entire State.

HINTS FOR THK HO.MK (iARDKX.
Still Time to Plant Certain Vegetable*
in This Section.
ft' yon have not already planted a
garden, there is still time even in
tin's region to grow some food, say
specialists of the 1". S. department
of agriculture. Not a day should he
lost, however, in planting, as the
most favorable planting period for
most vegetables is past, and as the
crops must be given an opportunity
to become well established before hot
weather sets in. Among the vegetables
which still may be planted
with good chances of success . are
beans, nma Deans iootn uusn ana
pole), collards. cucumbers, muskmelons.
watermelons, okra. squash,
and sweet potatoes.
If you have already started a garden.
but have not planted the crops
named, you should lose no time in
getting the seed in.
There is. of course, considerable
variation within the region for which
this advice is given. It may well be
that the possibility for planting successfully
certain of the crops mentioned
has passed in the more southerly
sections. The advice is based on
the latest frost dates for the section,
and the variations in weather conditions
from year to year also may influence
planting periods.
The following cultural suggestions
are made for the crops* which may
yet be planted with fair chances of
success throughout most of this region
:
Beans. Plant in rows two and onehalf
feet apart for either horse or
hand cultivation, and three to four
inches apart in the rows. A pint of
seed is sufficient for a hundred-foot
row.
Lima beans, pole. Plant in hills
three to four feet apart for horse or
hand cultivation. A half pint of
seed is sufficient for a hundred-foot
row. Bush limas should be planted
in rows two and one-half feet apart
for hand cultivation, or three feet
apart for horse cultivation. Space
the s^eds six to ten inches apart in
the rows.
Cucumber. Plant S to 10 seeds in
a hill, spacing the hills 5 feet apart
each way, and thin to 2 or 3 plant's;
or sow-the seed in rows four to five
feet apart. When planted in rows,
the plants should be about fifteen
inches apart, but the seed should be
sowed much thicker, the plants being
thinned later. A haif ounce of
seed is sufficient for a hundred-foot
row.
1. TViQ K110H Cities should
oqudail. l J.IC uuo** f?tiw>vw
be planted in hills four feet apart
each way, and the running varieties
eight to ten feet apart each way.
One-half ounce of seed is sufficient
for a hundred-foot row of either the
bush or running varieties.
Muskmelons. The culture of the
muskmelon is the same as the cucumber
except that the plants are usually
given more space. Plant eight to
ten seeds in a hill spacing the hills
six feet apart each way. Another
method is to sow in drills six feet
apart and thin to single plants eighteen
to twenty-four inches apart.
Watermelons. The culture of the
watermelon is the same as the muskmelon
except that the plants require
more space. Plant watermelons in
rows eight to ten feet apart and thin
to single plants three feet apart in
the rows, or plant in hills
eight to ten feet apart each
for a hundred-foot row or for a dozen
hills.
Okra. The rows should be three
to tour teet apart for the dwarf varieties
and four to five feet apart for
the tall kinds. Sow the seed a few
inches apart and thin the plants to
18 inches to two feet apart. Seven
ounces of seed is sufficient for a hundred-foot
row.
Sweet potatoes. It is desirable to
have a row or two of sweet potatoes
in the home garden. Set the plants
in ridges 3 to 4 feet apart. Space
the plants fourteen to eighteen inches
apart. About seventy-five plants will
be required for a hundred-foot row.
Brussels sprouts. Brussels sprouts
may be planted in the garden where
they are to grow or in a seed bed
for transplanting. They should be
grown in rows at least two feet apart
and about an equal distance apart in
*T<X"?^v f. >1*411 Y\e\t Q n.
tiie row. i iic s^iiuuis nm IIUI.
pear until late fall.
Leeks. Leek seed are planted like
onion seed, in drills from fifteen
inches to two feet apart for hand cultivation.
or two and a half feet apart
for horse cultivation. The plants
should be thinned to about four
inches apart in the rows.
Parsley. Parsley is sown iD drills.
A single drill a few feet in length
will be sufficient for a family.
Collards. Sow in drills eighteen
inches apart for hand cultivation and
thirty inches apart for horse cultivation.
Thin to stand fourteen to
eighteen inches apart in the row.
Switzerland has made it unlawful
to manufacture, store or sell artificial
wine or artificial cider.

sent to France at the earliest practicable
date.
This is the answer of America to
France's plea that the Stars and
Stripes be carried to the fighting;
front without delay to hearten the
soldiers battling there with concrete
evidence that a powerful ally has
come to their support against German
aggression.
Announcement of the order followed
signing of the selective draft war
army bill by the president and the issuance
of a statement that under ad-1
vice of military experts on both sides
j of the water the president could not
employ volunteers or avail himself
of the "tine vigor and enthusiasm" of i
former President Roosevelt for the
expedition.
The army lav provides for an ultimate
force of approximately 2,000,-!
000 men to back up the first troops
to go to the front. When the bill had
been signed the president affixed his
name to a proclamation calling upon
all men in the country between the
ages of 21 and 30, inclusive, to register
themselves for military service on
June 5 next.
l>enionslvation in Drying Vegetables.
i Dr. Frantz Lund, of the department
of agriculture, lectured in drangeburg
on .May 18, and gave demonstrations
of the European method
of dehydrating vegitables. Miss Parrott,
head of the home demonstration
work, secured Dr. Lund for a series
of lessons to the county agents of the
State. Eight women agents from adjoining
counties were in attendance,
and Mrs. D. D. Walker, w.ho has been
traveling with Dr. Lund, assisted in
the demonstrations. The scarcity and
high price of tin cans, as well as
flace mnfainprs makes this instruc
?? - ? tion
very opportune just now, and
I the county agents will be prepared
to give these lessons to all club members.
.Mrs. Faust, the Bamberg
county agent, expects to have a canning
institute in Bamberg June 14
and 15. As instructors she will have
besides the State agents. .Misses Barratt,
papier, and Yarborough, of
Barnwell, Columbia, and Chester, respectively.
The course will include
simple canning, preserves, pickles,
bread-making, and the new method
of dehydrating given by the department
specialists.
Adjutant Gen. W. W. .Moore has
received information from William A.
Mann of the general staff of the United
States army, that calvary organizations
in the United States will not be
sent to Europe for service.
