A typographical error in the editorial
last week concerning the enrollment
of women voters made one
sentence read rather queer. It read:
"The identity and indifference of the
women will operate to keep many of
them away from the polls." It should
have read: "The timidity and indifference
of the women," etc.
Tobacco and cotton are two most
important commercihl crops of Banfberg
county. The fight is now on to
put business methods into the selling
of these crops. The proposition
seems to be whether the farmer will
let persons handle their crops who
are responsible to the farmer or
whether their crops will be handled
by persons responsible to no one.
There are some strong men in the
race for governor this summer, and
the voters will do well to go out to
the court house this morning and
hear them, as well as the.other candi
i _r"
dates. We believe voters will be in a
more intelligent position to cast their
ballots by doing so, as we are of the
? ;' opinion that some of the most able
men in the campaign are men who
have not heretofore been identified
!with state politics, and who are,
therefore, not so well known as some
, others.
> /
Wjyi the past month of fine crop
weather, folks are beginning to feel
better over the prospects this fall.
Tobacco is good, cotton prospects
are much better than last year, the
corn crop is fine in most sections,
and other crops are somewhere near
average. Cotton promises to bring
a good price; in fact, we don't well
see how the price can go down with
the supply on hand disappearing so
rapidly and not much in sight for
' the future. It is believed that a
profitable price will be secured for
tobacco. All in all, we feel our peo
pie. have cause to feel grateful this
year.

John T. DDuncan is scoring an inning.
For years and years his
speeches were dignified with the
' words "John T. Duncan then spoke."
Or, to alter the phraseology, "John
T. Duncan also spoke." Now
| % the correspondents are. giving
v him the leadingparagraph, and tile
headline writers are featuring him.
As a matter of fact Mr. DuncaD has
"been running for governor only a
matter of some 20 or 30 years and
who knows but that success may yet
crown his efforts? And, if we mistake
not, he has received as high
as a thousand votes. About 100,000
- more will nominate him.
A highway map recently sent out
by the state highway commission
shows the roads of the state com.
pleted, under construction and con*
templated through the assistance of
federal aid. The map shows the
Crtinmhia-Rflrannab hiehwav either

completed or under construction from
Columbia to Fairfax, through Bamberg.
All of this stretch of road has
been completed with exception of a
few miles here and there which are
now being built. The map als<i shows
the Charleston-Augusta highway
either completed or under construction
;from Augusta to Branc'hville,
through Bamberg, and from St.
George to Charleston, leaving only
the stretch from St. George to a
little this, side of Brandhville yet to
be provided for.

WRITES SISTER OX DEATH'S EVE.
Fox Says Bad Companions Carried
Him to Electric Chair.
C. 0. Fox, of Stanley, X. C., who
with S. J. Kirby, formerly of York
county, and Jesse Gappins, of Columbia,
were electrocuted at the
state penitentiary recently for the
murder of William Brazell, Columbia
transfer driver, wrote a long letter
to his sister, Mrs. Lovie Norwood, of
Stanley, X. C., under date of June
13. The letter which was published
in the Charlotte Observer is as follows:
"Columbia, S. C., June 1$.
"Dear Sister:
"i taKe greai pleasure in uruppmg
you a few lines, something I may
never do again. I received your
dear, kind and welcome letter last
night, and was glad to hear from
you oncer more on earth, hut was
sorry to learn of your being troubled
oVer old hard luck me. Don't you
worry about me. I'm feeling fine
this a. m. I have had all kinds of
trouble but if it be God's will my
troubles will soon be over. Just a
few days and I guess everybody in
South Carolina will be happy. May
God bless all my enemies and those
in North Carolina, too. If nothing
else will satisfy them but to kill me,
why let them go ahead. I have not
had justice in this old sinful earth,
but there is a place -where the just
is waiting to give me my - justice.
Papa was down the 5th. I was sorry
someone wanted a little more
money. I thought that he had gotten
fooled enough not to put out any
more. I do not ask him to do anything
for me. If it had been left to
me none of you would have known
that I was in trouble, but Kirby told
the sheriff my name, and after that
he told them I would not deny it. I
had rather gone on and died and
never told my name than for people
to look down on you all. You said in
your letter that you believed that I
was led into what I did. Sister, you
are right. I was not only led, but
they told me lies to get me to say I
would go with them. They were
going to get the car off the street.
They had all kinds of keys for ail
kinds of cars, and Ood knows my
hjeart I would not-tell a lie about it.
If it had not been for them that
boy would be living today, and I
would not be here. I was always
taught to stay out of bad company,
anfl I did not do it. They did not
work, and got me to believing that I
did not have to work, and I was already
troubled or I would never have
agreed to go with them. Sister, if I
was you I would not say anytnmg 10
Mary about me being brought home.
If they come, all right, and if they
don't come, all right. Do not ask
them. If I had been treated right at
home I would not be here today, but
I am praying for them and all of my
enemies. Sister, I would not say anything
to our people in Catawba
about my burial. "\It would be just
a big show for people. You did not
tell me if you( would take my body
from the train to my grave or not.
I guess I would be about all burnt
up. I am ashamed to be brought
home. If it wasn't for your sake I
would not let them send me home,
and I trust God will hold you up,
sister. Don't you grieve and worry
about me for I am going to a better
world if it be God's will, I sing a lot
of times. When I am dead don't you
' " T iVii'nlr rvf Vrtlt lriV
gi\eve aner me. ? mmo. vjl
only dear sister, and I sing, 'Sister
will meet you there.' I know you
will. Glory to God! Now, sister,
promise me you won't grieve about
me and ask God to give me faith till
the last breath leaves my body. I
wapt to be able to go out and get in
the chair and laugh at them. You
know they will all hare to die. I am
not by myself. Well, I guess you
are tired of reading this mess, so I
{ will not worry you any longer.
"I may never write you again.
May God bless you, dear heart, and
cheer up. Goodbe, Goodbye.
"From your happy brother,
"C. O. FOX.

NOW 50-50 IN DEATH HOUSE.

Three Whites ana same ^hhuht oi
Blacks in Fatal Home.
Columbia, June 29.?Occupants of
the death house at the penitentiary
are now on a 50-50 basis as to color,
three white men and three negroes.
The cells are occupied by Edmund D.
Bigham, of Pamplico, Frank M. Jeffords
and Ira Harrison, of Columbia,
all white, and Bradford Boyd, of
Richland county, EI Culbreth, of Saluda,
and Otto Sullivan, of Greenville,
all negroes.
Richland county at present is holding
the lion's share of the space in
the death house, three occupants
claiming this as their home.
Some effort to stay the electrocution
of Boyd is expected to be made.
He is a young negro convicted last
week of attempted criminal assault
on a young white girl. An appeal to
the supreme court is likely, it was
j indicated yesterday.
BUILI) PLANT ON EDISTO RIVERDenmark
Folk Planning Hydro-Electric
Project.
Denmark, July 1.?A hydro-electric
plant is to be built on the Edisto
river about four miles from Denmark,
which when completed will have a
capacity of several hundred horsennu'or
Tlio nroliminarv snrvors
M Vi X iAV 1' * J UU1 T V,' "J
have already been completed and the
engineers are now working on the
construction details.
This plat is to be operated in connection
with the steam driven power
plant at Denmark and the capacity
of the plant at Denmark is to be increased
to 500 kilowatts by the installation
of an additional 300 kilowatt
unit, so as to take care of the
present and future load uutil the
water power plant is completed, and
then the steam power plant will be
used only in emergencies.
J. B. Guess, Jr., capitalist and
i
farmer, who owns about 3,000 acres
of land along the river, and R. A.
Easterling, owner and manager of
the local power plant, are promoting
this project, though other local and
out of town investors are interested.
Contracts have already been made
by the Edisto Public Service company,
the local power company, with

there are other contracts pending.
Man Had Been Hung.
Ward, July 3.?Grave diggers,
while digging a grave at Dry Creek
church yesterday, dug into a grave
that seemed to have been dug in th'e
wrong place and unearthed a skeleton,
finding a rope around the neck
with a knot in the rope under the
right ear.
The condition of the skeleton
showed that it had apparently been
buried some fifty years. Parts of the
coffin remained and the plate with
the words, "Rest in Peace," cculd
easily be read.
There seems to be some mystery
concerning the identification of the
body. The grave itself was where
no grave was supposed to be, and the
oldest inhabitant of the community
knows nothing of any one who had
been hanged being buried in the cemetery.
