OUGHT TO BE RECOUNT.
That the census figures announced
for Bamberg are wrong is apparent
on the face of it, and whatever steps
necessary to secure a revision or recount
ought to be taken by the city
authorities without delay. The city
is credited with a population of 2,210,
an increase of 273, or 14.1 per cent,
over the population figures of 1910.
In 1910, we are informed, the cotton
mill was closed down, and the
mill help had moved away. The mill i
employed about 40 or 50 hands at
that time. The mill now employs
160 hands, which means a population
of possibly 400. None of these
people were in Bamberg ten years
ago.
Ten years ago houses were plentiful
in Bamberg. Today no houses
are to be had. Owners of houses
command any rent they ask. There
has not been the building operations
going on here for the last ten years
there should have been, yet many
houses have been erected, and there
was, we believe, not an empty house
in Bamberg when the 1920 census
was taken.
The normal growth of the town, if
no new inhabitants had been added
to the population, in ten years should
have been from 10 to 20 per cent.
There is scarcely a resident of Bamberg
who cannot count several hundred
persons who have moved here
in the last few years, and practically
all the loss, aside from death, that
, \ the town has sustained has been from
\ a lack of housing facilities.
\ Yet Bamberg shows an increase of
only 273 persons, which is only a
fraction over 14 per cent, growth.
Conservative persons have estimated
tfrat the town had a population of at
least 3,000.
iBarnwell made a gain of more than
40per cent., yet one of the Barnwell
papers recently pointed to Bamberg
as an example of progress. Shall we
content ourselves in accepting an official
population of 2,210 for the next'*
ten years. All of the county seats
in chis section have been given material
increases. If Bamberg had no
more than 2,210 inhabitants it would
be all right for the official count to
remain as announced, but many of
the inhabitants of Bamberg are not
included in the count, according to
their own statements. Whole families
were omitted, we are informed.
Other cities have secured recounts,
and if the proper pressure is brought
a correct census of Bamberg will be
taken. The interests of the town demand
that Bamberg be credited with
a full population statement. The census
is taken to secure correct population
figures.
THE COTTON ASSOCIATION.
If the farmers ever needed an organization
it is now. They need an
organization that has teeth to it. They
Tr-oiiQ^ +r\r\ inn or Pnttnr) is too
lieIVC YfOHCU IUU ivii;5. www?
important a crop to be neglected as
it has been in the past. Cotton is
the backbone of the south, weevil or
no weevil, and it is likely to remain
the south's backbone. The weevil
will be overcome, and the south will
continue to grow cotton, perhaps not
on so large a scale as formerly; nevertheless,
it will continue to look Jto
cotton as its heaviest crop.
But there is absolutely a lack of
system in marketing cotton. The
cotton producer has no voice whatever
in fixing the price of his product.
He takes whatever is offered him or
hauls his cotton back home, to suit
his convenience, and wThen he does
sell, he still has only the offer the
buyers make him, and the local buyers,
of course, can only conform to
the general price.
Other producers have some voice in
saying what their produce is worth.
The cotton farmer has none. If he
is compelled to pay out 30 cents a
pound to make his crop, and the
price fixers decide to pay only 20,
t that is the farmer's hard luck. He
has no way of fixing the price to
cover production cost, plus a profit.
Once in a while he makes a profit
on his crop, but it is a matter of
chance. The manufacturer, however,
sells his product at a price to cover
manufacturing cost with a profit added,
which is nothing but right. But
the farmer stands all the loss. He
should be able to command a cost
plus profit price as well as the man^
ufacturer.
It seems to us that it is plainly to J
the interest of every farmer in Bam-1
berg county to ally himself with the
cotton association, and make up his
mind to go into it in a whole hearted
manner. The trouble heretofore has
i
been with farmers' organizations that
the farmer would stick only so long
as his immediate interests were affected.
If the cotton farmers will ally i
themselves with the association, and '
| the association will fix a right and !
i fair price for cotton, that price will
be paid, and it seems to us that there
will never be the hope of a staple
price for cotton until some such action
is taken. Farmers are entitled
to receive for their products every
cent that it costs an average farmer
to make the crop and a living profit
I added to it. Everybody is entitled j
I to this much. It is not necessary
[ to the prosperity of the country that'
any man should work free, or sell
his goods for less than a profitable
price.

The Herald has not found it necessary
to secure additional help to receive
contributions to the Democratic
campaign fund. Not a dollar has rolled
into this office. We renew our offer
to accept all contributions handed
us and we will take pleasure in forwarding
to the proper authorities.

Bishop Hoss said at a Nashville
picnic:
"The religious knowledge of too
many adults resembles, I am afraid,
the religious knowledge of little Eve.
" 'So you attend Sunday school regularly?'
the minister said to little
Eve.
" 'Oh, yes, sir.'
" 'And you know your Bible?'
" 'Oh, yes, sir.'
" 'Could you, perhaps, tell me
something in it?'
" 'I could tell you everything that's
in it.'
" 'Indeed,' and the minister smnea
'Do tell me, then.'
" 'Sister's beau's.jncture is in it/

Persuading Willie.
"How in the world did you ever
induce Willie to put away that coal?"
Mrs. Brown asked in astonishment
as she saw her son working like a
beaver. "I offered him twenty-five
cents to do it, and he said he wouldn't
do it for a dollar?not on Saturday
afternoon."
"Oh, it was quite simple," the wise
father chuckled. "I merely started
an argument and then bet him twenty-five
cents that he couldn't put it
away in an hour." .
