In the election of Robert A. Cooper
as governor, The Herald believes that
the State has made a wise choice.

ters of the moment in national affairs,
we believe that he is the man |
of the hour in this State.

iMr. A. A. Richardson is the Bleaseite
candidate for railroad commissioner.
Get that name firmly in your
mind and keep it there. Quite a
number of Bamberg citizens voted for
Richardson under the impression that
he was not a Bleaseite. He is the
same Richardson who was formerly
chief game warden, and who was fired
out by Governor Manning because of
alleged irregularities in his office.
Unless you want to vote for a Bleaseite,
be sure to scratch Mr. A. A.
Richardson.
For the excellent returns in State
election contests published in The
Herald last week we are indebted
to the Charleston News and Courier.
The Herald called the News and Courier
over the long distance telephone
at 3 o'clock Wednesday morning and
was given the full information available
at that hour. For this kindness
, - the News and Courier has our thanks.
Throueh .the kindness of Engineer
Fickling we were enabled to get our
JShrhardt readers their papers at an
an early hour Wednesday morning.

It is highly important that a large
vote be cast in the second primary
next Tuesday. There is one race of
great importance to the people, and
that is the contest for the short term
senator. The race has narrowed
down to Mr. Peeples, the Bleaseite
candidate, and Mr. Pollock. We believe
that Mr. Pollock is entitled to
the place. He has rendered the State
i valuable service. Four years ago
he contributed largely to the defeat
of Blease for senator. It is entirely
likely that Blease would have been
elected but for th^ strenuous expose
of his record made by Pollock and
~ V
Jennings. Don't fail to go to the
polls next Tuesday and vote for W.
P. Pollock.
r
. The Herald congratulates South
Carolina upon its repudiation of C.
L. Blease, and, therefore, the repudiation
of disloyalty and pr6-Germanism.
We consider the victory,
which was won by about thirty thousand
votes, a glorious one. For those
who saw fit, even in the light of the
publicity given to the utterances of
Blease, to vote for him in the primary,
The Herald has no harsh word.
We give them credit, until proven
otherwise,-of voting in accordance
with their conscience and for what
they considered right. The Herald
performed what it considered its duty
in doing its part toward the de
feat of Blease. We could have done
no less and held our own respect.
For those who looked at it in a different
light, however, we are willing
to give them credit for doing the
same thing. Now that that matter
is settled, it is our sincere hope that
all our people will join hands in caring
out the great work ahead of us.
There are liberty bond campaigns,
Y. M. C. A. campaigns, Red Cross
campaigns, and the finishing of the
war savings campaign all in front of
us. The government needs the support
of all the people in these matters.

Letter From Private G. F. McMillan.
Editors The Bamberg Herald: ?
If you will give me space in your paper
1 shall appreciate the opportunity
of writing a letter to my home
county friends, although I can tell
nothing much about the happenings
in camp on account of being for the
past month attached^ to the M. P.
force in town.
But I would like to commend the
good people of Bamberg county on
the good reports that come from their
efforts for the Red Cross, war savings
stamps and liberty loans. 1 am
always proud to tell my fellow soldiers
that I am from Bamberg because
I know that it will hold up its
record, which is second to none, and
1 would like to say just here that 1
am afraid that a few people have
* .V.yi.nc.-iAn tVlO R PCl

Cross funds. I can't say too much
in praise of that organization. Really
1 believe it is the greatest organization
ever in the history of the
world. Everyone knows what they
are doing here and what they are
doing in France today is simply marvelous.
They are the real soldier's
friends. If any of my friends have a
dollar they don't know where to put,
give it to the Red Cross by all means.
The Y. AI. C. A. is also doing very
great work for the men in camp.
They to a large extent furnish all
the amusements as well as all of the
religious (Protestant) services, and
aid the boys in numerous other ways.
We have at present in Camp Wadsworth
about forty thousand men, including
officers. These are mostly
of the Pioneer Infantry. We have
several of our old Bamberg boys here,
but I rarely get to see them?such is
the routine of the camp.
Of the three of us who came the
first of May only one, the smallest in
the lot, passed the overseas examination,
and that, of course, was
Pincki.?y Bellinger. Boots McMillan
is still here. They transferred we
two into the Development Battalion.
Did you get that? Development?
well, I soon developed a real good
appetite, so I was sent over in town
for provost duty. I was the only Carolina
boy on the job until two days
ago when some others were sent over
with us. However the Yanks are
all O. K. They are good friends
when they do like you?but, of
course, none of them like Spartanburg.
Now, I would like to say to the
people of Bamberg that we are expecting
them to stand behind us in
the true old sense of the word, and
never refuse to aid in every way possible
the Red Cross of America.

Shoots Guard and Himself.
Laurens, Aug. 20.?At an early
hour this morning a negro convict,
Hill Garrett, ran amuck at one of the
chain gang camps located at Oakville
school house, near M (Daniel's
.Mill, and after killing R. Edgar .MeDaniel,
tlie guard, and serioush ,
wounding Whit Searight. another negro
prisoner, walked a short distance
from the tent and killed himself
with a pistol he had used on the
guard and his fellow convict. Sea
right was brought to the city and
given medical attention. He was shot
four times but it said that he will
recover.
.McDaniel, who was a member of a
well known Laurens county family,
was shot dead while standing just
inside one of the tents and was in
the act of unlocking the chains used
for keeping the prisoners secure at
night. It seems that on going to the
tent to arouse the negro cook, Garrett,
who was a "trtfsty," slipped out
of the tent, went to the guard's quarters,
secured the guard's pistol, re- ,
turned to the dormitory and opened
fire on McDaniel, killing him instantly.
He then fired on Searight,
| who was making an effort to subI
due him by the use of a pick handle,
j In all more than a dozen shots were
| fired by the negro and the other pris|
oners escaped by falling to the
' ground as if dead. Leaving the tent
j Garrett walked a short distance and
i shot himself, though the fact was not
| known until the officers from the city,
I in making a search for the man,
| found his body in the undergrowth H
! in the woods. I
Guard McDaniel was a son of Mr.
! and Mrs. J. R. McDaniel, and had
been connected with the chain gang
J force for about five years. He was a I
j brother of Dr. W. Y. McDaniel, of I
