CijePamfcerg SeraliJ ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. Published Weekly at Bamberg, S. C. Entered as second-class matter April 1891, under Act of March 3, 1879. $2.00 PER YEAR. Volume 31. . Number 30. Thursday, July 27,1922. The first half of the state campaign is over. So far the campaign has been conspiciously devoid of vituperation. It seems evident that this year the people decline to "whoop 'em up" as they usually do. The meetings are quiet and orderely; in fact it is a 1 very bad year for the flabergaster. The county-to-county canvass owes * about 90 ner cent, of its existence to political excitement, and when there is no excitement the campaign meetings are rather droll affairs. ? The Beaufort Gazette last week contained an interesting item concerning a fig preserving establish ment at Beaufort. The wonder of it is that this industry has not been * more thoroughly developed through- , out this section. Perhaps every section of this state can and does produce luscious figs, and when they are made up into preserves they are most delightful. An attractive thing about fig preserves is that they will keep ti i.~ ?^? * ? maennueiy. it cusis uumiug iu piuduce figs once the trees are large enough to bear fruit, and the cost of preserving is small compared to other fruits, due to the large amount of , sugar contained in the fruit itself. The preserves, we understand, have a ready sale in the north, and they may be kept and sold whenever desired. It appears to The Herald this . is an industry that our people are overlooking. In another column of The Herald today appe#s a Washington dispatch relating to the proposed activity of the Republican party in the south. A mVnrnnc pffnrt will be made to res ister Republican voters for the elections this fall. Let every white man and woman in Bamberg county see :. x that his or her name is on the registration books, and then vote in the general election. It matters not whether there are any Republican candidates running, or not. The south has played with fire already in displaying a kindly feeling for the Republican party. It is an established fact that bhe south's best and indeed, only, interests lie with the Democratic party. Harding secured a large sprinkling of votes throughout the south; some in South Caro lina. The experiment is over now; we all know what Republican rule . means. Mr. Harding won't get any Democratic votes from the south any ?2more. And the thing to do is to bury Republicanism in South Carolina beneath an avalanche of Democratic votes at every general election. The registration books are > open every first Monday at the court house. - Men and women, do your duty- register! ? < > Tariff on Thread. To members of the sewing circle: Those members of the sewing circle who recall the exorbitant .prices of thread during the war period and dread a recurrence of similar conditions, will read with interest the re marks by Senator Ellison D. Smith, of South Carolina, quoted herewith. iff" The pending Fordney-McCumber bill proposes a duty of one-half cent per . 100 yards on cotton sewing thread, which is an advance of 100 per cent, over the present Democratic law. After quoting from the Journal of Commerce showing that the J. & P. Coats Co., of Paisley, foreign thread manufacturers, on a capitalization of $15,000,000, declared dividends of 30 to 40 per cent., Senator Smith -v takes up the case of the American Thread Co., a domestic concern capitalized at $6,000,000, and says: "They were incorporated March 10, 1898, in New Jersey, combining previously independent thread plants located at Fall River and Westerly, R. I., and Willimantic ana Glasgow, Conn., with a capital stock of $6,000,000. These are the earnings made by this company on an investment of $6,000,000. "Profits in 1919, $3,024,478; 1918, $5,00S,S23; 11 months in 1917?I do not know why they put that, but I am reading from the record?$2,169,000; profits in 1916, $2,311,593; in 1915, $1,531,377; in 1914, $2,086,115; in 1913, $1,6S3,463; in 1912, $1,366,775?and all this on an invested capital of $6,000,000. The aggregate is startling. No wonder they propose to enlarge their "" - x A ^ * /-? r\ A 4" V> /-?T-> I OUSineSS Olll U1 jjiunts aiitt iiicu | mulct the people who have to buy thread with a profit upon the profits." Women can learn from this who gets the enormous sums they pay for high priced thread. This tariff robbery has the support of the Republican party. The Democratic party is opposed to it. Where do you stand? i GREATER STATE FAIR. Columbia, July 16.?Mrs. Wilson G. Harvey, State Chairman for the Woman's Building Committee for a <j "Greater State Fair" is sending this f message to the women of the state t asking for their cooperation. South Carolina is rapidly taking her place among the progressive states in this country and in so do- c ing there is a realization of the ne- j cessity for a "Greater State Fair" r where her people can meet annually - * ~ A from ail sections Ul Lilt; Otitic auu have shown to them the varied ac- , i. complishments and industries of her t men and women and also have I brought to their minds the knowledge * of the wonderful natural resources of their State. In order to realize this plan calls for the^proper up-to-date equipment, in 'buildings, etc., where the exhibits f may be jlroperly housed and shown a to the best advantage. Those wo- * men who have yearly sent their J work to the State Fair, have always j felt the need of such a building, and a the club women have long wanted a 1 State Woman's Club Building. The ' ~ 'Uor. OT-rivoH -n-llOTI O f IIS lime iiao uuw aiixigu ?* W?V.A* vmay have that which we want if we are willing to assist. c A splendid Woman's building is to j be placed on the Fair grounds which t will meet the needs of our varied in- s terests, a permanent building provided with the proper and sufficient space for all classes of woman's work ( during Fair week and also provision ^ will be made in the building for a I convention hall, rest rooms and j everything needed for the comfort, _ convenience ana use 01 our wumeu for all time. Meetings and conventions may be beld of the many clubs and organizations?in other words a ( building for the women of the state s to be proud of. 5 I feel sure that with such a project in view there will be no difficulty in arousing our women to the need of buying Life Memberships which not only entitles them to free admission to the Fair for life, but which also entitles one to a full vote and voice in the management of the Fair, beside giving the privilege of such a Wnman's Ruildinsr. My acceptance of the position of State Chairman for this buliding is the assurance of my faith in the project and of my belief that such is of great importance to the women of South Carolina.
