This issue of The Herald and the
issue of last week have been printed
under some difficulty. Mr. Bruce,
the mainstay of the mechanical department
of The Herald, has been
suffering for the past two weeks with
a severe attack of grippe, and the
rest of the force is rather "green" in
the mechanical line.

Mahon, of Yonkers, N. Y., related on
the first page of The Herald today,
form a striking example of what a
fine thing it is to attend to your own
business. According to the newspapers,
he deserted his own wife and
children in Yonkers to come down to
Aiken to meddle in somebody else's
business. The result is, according to
the news stories of the affair, he is
nursing a very sore back. We suspect
he will be a more exemplary citizen
and family head at home hereafter.
The very apparent need of a cotton
warehouse in Bamberg has been felt
the present season. The trouble is,
it seems, in good times there is no
need of a warehouse and in time of J
great need there is no time to build
. one. Let the people of Bamberg get
together now and build proper warehouse
facilities for storage of cotton,
so that when occasion arises in the
future the farmers will be provided
for. We understand that it is not
so very difficult to secure advances

When The Herald made the statement
that persons had been omitted
in the official taking of the census in
Bamberg, no reflection was meant, of
course on the census taker. We have
no doubt but that the work was done
conscientiously; nevertheless, The
Herald sees no reason for changing its
opinion that omissions were made.
The census taker was not a resident
of Bamberg, and it is easily conceivable
that one not familiar with the j
town could easily overlook residents i
without any intention of doing the
j
town an injustice. For the sake of
getting the figures accurate beyond i
any question of doubt, there should i,
be a revision. The writer was not in i
i
Bamberg ten years ago, and the state- j.
/ ments made heretofore were based on
information given him by citizens i
who were here and who The Herald j
believes to be reliable. j
Those who are laying bets on the i
presidential election had better not j
take too much stock in the straw ballot
bulletins posted up in various
places, which are giving Harding everything
except the south, and some
of that. For example, in 1916, the
Republicans claimed everything in
sight, including California, which
they said would go Republican by
a quarter million votes. This forecast
was based large on the fact that in
the California primaries preceding
the 1916 election, 307,793 Republican
votes were cast, against 77,830
. Democratic votes. But when the ballots
were counted in the general election,
Woodrow Wilson had received
* a majority of 3,800. The straw balloting
now going on in the drug stores
and in the Literary Digest put the
California vote about in the same proportion.

know what the outcome will be. We,
naturally, would like to see the Democratic
ticket elected. When the nominations
were made by the conven-j
tions, it was our opinion that the
country was strongly Republican. It
may still be so. but if it were possible
for any man to be elected this
year, we believe Cox will win. He
has conducted a wonderful campaign,
clean and clear-cut. He started out
for the league of nations, and he has
wound up his campaign for the
league. There is no doubt of where
he stands. No one knows where the
Republican nominee stands on the
league of nations. He first says he
is for it, and then he changes his
mind and is "agin" it. His last utterances
indicate, we believe, that he
favors some sort of association of nations.
This expression is no doubt
brought about because he realizes
that the American people are not go
ing to scrap the league, and it may
materially aid in his election. But
that the tide has been running against
the Republican ticket for the past few
weeks there is little room for doubt.
Whether it has been to such an extent
as to elect Cox remains to be
seen. It appears certain, however,
regardless of whether Cox or Harding
is elected, the league of nations
will be ratified by the United States,
and that under whatever name, history
will record Woodrow Wilson as
the father of the league.
Although the price of peanuts is
very disappointing to the numerous
planters in Bamberg county, the crop
will nevertheless prove a very helpful
one, we believe. What the county
must have to combat the weevil is a
variety of crops on which to depend.
It seems almost if not q,uite certain
that cotton will never again be the
dependable crop it has been in the
past. The boll weevil makes it an uncertain
product. With favorable seasons,
it is likely that frequent profitable
crops of cotton may be grown,
but there is an element of uncertainty
that makes all-cotton a big risk.
Even though big profits may not be
made from peanuts, they are a good
thing to fall back on if cotton fails,
as it has done this year. If the price
is not good, as the price of peanuts
this year has turned out, then the
crop can be turned into pork and not
lost. Cotton can be used for nothing
but to sell. The Herald sincerely
trusts that the farmers will not become
discouraged over peanuts. The
Herald claims a small share in the
promotion of this crop, and we have
not altered our belief in peanuts as
one of the county's crops?not the
crop, but one -of them. <
