The county convention has been 1
held. Now is the time for all good *
Democrats to announce their candi- 1
dacy for county offices. The columns .
of The Herald are open for the ad- s
vertisements of all candidates, pres- c
ent and prospective. Rates: $10 for 1
state offices, congressman, and solici- j
tor; $5.00 for county offices, except 1
county commissioner and coroner, *
which are $3.00, and magistrate and a
difficulty of attaining this much desired
end of getting taxes lowered h
to a pre-war basis was strikingly f
shown at the convention when one of n
the speakers called attention to the t
v fact that on nearly every item of the e
appropriation bill there are some who c(
/ insist that this and that item must I
not be reduced. The argument is
generally made that, for instance, n
schools must not suffer r-that this ap- v
} propriation must not be reduced un- t
der any circumstances. .The same d
argument is used on many other e
items. The fact is that there can be s
no material lowering of appropria- 1
tions unless there is a drop in all t
items. It is true that the schools 1<
must not be allowed to suffer. The o
' teachers are not paid too much, we g
thin#; in fact, they should be even t
better paid, but it is quite impossible t
to. pay high salaries to any class p
and keep the appropriations low. We i:
should like to see the time when r
r: v
teachers and preachers, who are i:
yr- probably in closer touch with more ?
people than anybody else, get salar- t
ies in keeping with their intellectual
training.
But, so far as the public
'v school question is concerned, it cannot
be done without liberal appro- j
priauon 01 money, a fttryuuie ??
struck in the convention x^hen it was
suggested that the administration
costs are too heavy in all departments j
of the state government. Bamberg's
delegation was right in voting to
abolish many of the commissions and r
-w \
, boards in Columbia. Many of them
are useless and provide nothing more
?/ '} than jobs for those employed. Thous- M
ands of dollars are employed annu- ^
v \ ally to pay inspectors, yet things are '
about the same as they have always
c
v ' been. The highway commission
dr^-ws tremendous money to superintend
the building of roads that each ^
county is qualified to superintend itself.
The tax commission gets yet (
other thousands to take money out
or ine leit pocKer msieaa 01 me rxgut
g
where it used to come from. The ^
railroad commission is now com- .
posed of seven useless members ine
stead of three. The public welfare '
board "saves" the state thousands of
dollars by giving scholarships Bamberg
county pays for to other coun- _
ties, and so on down the litfe it goes.
First, fire out about nine-tenths of
the boards and commissions from
-Columbia |*then reduce all appropriations
where the overhead expense is
too heavy^ and make the reductions
uniform Except, perhaps, in extremely
few instances. Next, stop the lobbying
during the session of the legislature.

QUEER ISLAND FOUND.
'acific Island Contains Great Deposits
of Guano.
A description of what is believed to
)e one of the most peculiar islands in
he world and one of the loneliest
;pots in .the Pacific, Walpole Island,
vhich has been submerged by the
>cean at least six times from all inlications,
was given at Sydney, Ausralia,
recently by O. A. Mackay, F. R.
j. S. representative of the Australan
Guano company on the island.
Walpole is about 150 miles east by
outh of Noumea and contains great
leposits of guano. With Surprise Isand
and the Chesterfield group, it is
eased by the Australian concern. It
s a limestoi>e table, 230 feet from
he ocean accessible at only one spot
,t a break in the cliffs where steps
lave been but.
Mackay said that there were renarkably
clear indications on the
liffs of successive water levels and
hat pumice, coral and other shells
in the curiously raised platform ,
howed that at least six times it must
ave been at or under sea level. Mapy ,
races of ancient human habitation
rere found in the forms of walls, obiously
built by man, columns of coral
ight and nine feet high, large tombs
nd clam-shell bladed instruments,
everal specimens of which Mackay
as presented to the Australian ;
auseum. Fresh water supplies were ,
iscovered in two caves. Mackay ex ressed
the opinion that formerly
here was a much greater land surace
than at present.. !
"I found undoubted signs of pretistoric
habitation," he said. "I also
ound in places, where the guano <
aents on to the carol, tne remains 01 i
he horned turtle which I am inform- :
d have been found nowhere else ex- j
jpt in South America and Lord Howe
slands."
Mackay said that probably the for- ,
aer inhabitants had escaped in boats 1
rhen the ocean rose and submerged
he islanjd or that they hatf been
rowned in the rising tide. The pres- ;
nt population of the isle consists of
ix white men, 30 Japanese and about
00 Loyalty islanders. The singing of 1
hese islanders serve to make life <
ess monotonous than it would be 'i
therwise. Mackay said, poultry and
;oat3 are raised for food j^hile vegeables
and fruits grow luxuriantly, i
omatoes growing as large as 2^
lounds in weight. Cricket and fishng
are the main diversions of the
esidents. On Sundays the Loyalty
slanders hold two church services,
srhich the whole population attends,ie

CARRIER^ TO HELP.
t. F. D. Men Will Assist in Gatherin
Crop Data.
Utilization of the services of rura:
>tter carriers for gathering crop data
nd other agricultural statistics was
uthorized last week by Postmaster
leneral Works. *
"T'Vin r?r\ofnflR^o rior>n rtm pti t realiz

s," the postmaster general said,
that the services rural carriers
ould render would be of tremendous alue
to agricultural interests of the
ountry and we would be heartily
lad to have them co-operate with
be agricultural department, by servig
as crop reporters.
"It is understood that the filling
ut of the blanks requires but a few
loments each month so that work of
reat importance and interest could
e performed with the expediture of
ut little time, and without interferpce
with postal duties of the cariers."

Finds Gold Ring in
Chicken Gizzarc
G. W* Hunter, a prominent citi
zen of Hunter's Chapel section, was
in the city Monday to attend the
county convention of the Democrats
party, and while here showed The
Herald two gold rings that bear ?
rather interesting history.
The smaller of the rings, alonj
with a blue setting, was found Sun
day in the gizzard of a chicken the
Hunter family enjoyed for Sunda}
dinner. The setting was out of the
ring and bore evidence of the attempi
of the digestive organs of the fowi
to dissolve it.
The second ring, a much largei
one, was found some months ago ir
a cow Mr. Hunter butchered. This
ring was in perfect condition. Both
the chicken and the cow were raisec
on Mr. Hunter's place, and a peculiai
fact in regard to both rings is thai
none of Mr. Hunter's family has
ever possessed such rings as he recovered
from the chicken and the
COW.
Mr. Hunter is afraid people wilj
think he is conducting an advertising
campaign for the products of his
farm, but he declares that such is
not the case. Of course, he is compelled
to admit that buyers of -his
farm products have an excellent
chance at getting valuable jewelry
for prizes,' although he did not say
that he has any for sale just now.
?250,000 Bond Sale By Orangeburg,
Orangeburg, April 30.?City council
Friday night sold $250,000 worth
of bonds, the sale several weeks age
having not been accepted due to ar
alleged discrepancy in the bid. The
bid of the Trust Company in Georgia
was accepted, it being for $250,00C
at five per cent. The amount is practically
$8,000 more than the highesl
bid the council received in Marcl
when the bid of the Southern Bank
and Trust Company of this city was
the highest. It was announced todaj
by T. 0. S. Dibble, city clerk, that advertisements
for bids for the paving
of five and one-half miles of streets
covered by the above issue, would bs
made at an early date, and that wor*
would proceed with dispatch as soor
is the contract was let. About $750,000
will be spent in the next year oi
so in building, permanent streets ir

and the; adjoining property owners
paying each a third..

TELLS OF WATER SPOUTS. S]

I One Who Has Made Number of Sea a
' Voyages Tells of Experiences. s]
a
The Associated Press report, pub- n
* lished in the State on Sunday of ,g
* tc
' the narrow escape of the Cunard liner
" Carmania, from a waterspout, when
" 800 miles from New York, recalled
1 the pictures of dreaded waterspouts C(
in the physical geography books of j j,
' long ago. ?
A visitor to the State office yester-! j
i day, who was known to have made J =
many sea voyages, was asked if he ?
5 had ever seen a waterspout. "Several
i times," he answered, "and once three &
at one time. si
Asked if he had ever been in dan- ^
ger from one of them, he replied: o<
"Only once, you may remember the
*
West India hurricane of September
, 8-10 in.1919, when the?City of Mexi- ,
i
. co, Captain filler in command, ran
j. into the vortex of that storm about n:
200 miles east of Habana. A water- si
spout formed several miles away C1
, and, in the dead calm of the wind
but with the ocean heaving with
t storm waves, it moved diagonally to.
wards us and crossed our bows so P1
C<
near that spray from the spout fell si
on the forward deck. The speed of tc
' the spout was estimated at 30 miles
. an hour. When the spout appeared JJ
. not a soul was on deck. I was on ^
\ the bridge with Captain Miller and
? we took refuge in the pilot house.
The captain said that in 45 years
at sea that was the nearest call :he
had ever had from one of those f
blankpty things. It is probable the M
passengers on the Carmania who told 9
the story in New York* thought the S(
, spout was nearer than it was. Had e]
there been danger of its striking the a:
fr
. ship the commander would have or- t
' n
dered them all below. Should even a ,b(
( small spout strike a ship, it would d
carry off every movable thing, life
. boats and all, on the decks. Just
how much of a shock of this kind a
big ocean liner will stand has not
j been determined.
, "But I saw a spout once," continued
the visitor, "four miles from us, *
p whose 'waist' or the, smallest point
! between the surface of the sea and

, the clouds, was estimated by the
captain of the ship I was on to be
300 feet in diameter. There were,
therefore, tens of thousands of tons ;

The internal affairs of the Demo- o
cratic party of South Carolina are s
not a source of a great deal of wor- h
Ty, as was evidenced at the county t
conventions Monday, but one of the v
questions which took hold of the v:
voters in several counties was that of e
taxes. The Bamberg convention was a
practically turned over to discussion s
of high taxes and the remedy there- h
for. The general trend of argument n
was that the state is run at too high d
speed; there did not appear to be p
fc'' - much solution offered except a gen- t
atoI inworinf nf all exmmses. The f
?out is broken that waterfalls. No
lip ever built could withstand such
Shock. A big waterspout, with the
pray falling from its sides as from
thousand gigantic fountains, is,
ext to agitation oi the ocean in a
enuine hurricane, the most specicular
sight of the mysterious sea."
