What sort of a Democrat is a "Jefi
ferson Democrat who rejoices at the
election of Harding?" New brand of
. Democracy to us.
\
Let all those who rejoiced, secretly
or openly, when Harding was elected
and now have had time to repent
of their folly, make a substantial confession
by securing at once a registration
certificate, and making a firm resolve
to vote in the general election.
_ And let every woman who has enrolled
on the Democratic club rolls likewise
get a registration certificate, as
well as all those women who ought
to have enrolled to vote in the primaries
and who failed to do so.
The Herald was not enthusiastic
about Wilson G. Harvey becoming
governor of ^ South Carolina, but
every man is due air the cre.dit he
deserves. The Herald does not mind
saving now that it considers Gover
nor Harvey one of the best executives
this state has had in a long
time. The state has had only a few
weeks of.his administration, and the
governor has conducted himself during
these weeks in a manner such as
to command respect and admiration.
He has every .appearance of being a
man with an eye single to filling the
high office he occupies in a manner
thaf will cause his name to go down
in history as being qualified to be
governor of this great state. Governor
Harvey is handling law enforce mont
-with a firm hand, and be de
serves the moral support of the peox
pie in his efforts to better conditions
in this state.
mm ,a, M
The United States government has
?" ** ~
placed the magnificent sum of $87,(100,000
at the disposal of the marketing
agencies of the cotton and tobacco
crops of the south." South
Carolina is alloted ten million dollars
for the orderly marketing of cotton,
and several million dollars for the
orderly marketing of tobacco. Cooperative
selling is on trial this year,
and if there is a failure no blame can
be attached to the federal government.
The gravest danger to the
programme of cooperative selling
ami ho utfo think in efforts to break
rw a&jl uvy ?? v ?? . y #
tie backbone of the organization this
year. That vast efforts will be made
in this direction seems certain, and
a very serious mistake will be made
if the people make a stampede and
forsake the associations right at the
time when the first decisive stand in
the history of farming has been taken
in their behalf.
t
The importance of all Democrats
registering for the general election
cannot be over-emphasized. That a
vigorous effort will be made by the
Republicans to make a snowing tnis
year is a foregone conclusion, and
the extent of this effort may be a
surprise to the Democrats of this
state. Under the new rules of the
Republican party if a better showing
is not made in this state than heretofore,
the representation in the Re.
% ' publican national convention will be
cut down, and yoff may be sure that
the Republicans do not intend to sit
down and allow that to result through
s> any inactivity on~their part. We do
not need any Republicanism in South
Carolina, and if every Democrat in
the state will register and vote in
November any efforts of the Republican
party in this state will be
snowed under so far that there will
not likely be any concerted action
in this direction in some time to
come'
There will be no large crop of cotton
in Bamberg county. There is no
i hope for a large crop for some years
to come. Eventually, perhaps, folks
may learn how to grow cotton in
spite of the boll weevil. In fact,
we think they will, but not yet. However,
things are not near as bad in
Bamberg county as they might be,
and are not near as bad as in many
other sections of South Carolina.
From reports we have heard
of. other sections, we are inclined to
believe that all crops here are equally
as good as, if not better than, in
other portions of the state. While
there have been torrents of rain
here, there has been still more rain
in some other sections. This condition'
seems to prevail throughout
practically all of the cotton belt.
There does not seem to be much
danger of a big crop of cotton anywhere
this year, and practically no
v danger of a low price, even though
a big crop is made. A half crop this
year will bring as much money as a
full crop in ordinary years. We need
a spirit of optimism among our people.

The Herald has not joined in the
criticism of the city council of Bamberg
for the conditions that obtain
here. At the same time, The Herald
realizes that it is quite useless to attempt
to say that conditions in Bamberg
as regards inhibition violations
are not serious, for they are. Drunkenness
is rampant here, and there
could not possibly be drunkenness
unless somebody is selling liquor, and
nobody could sell liquor unless liquor
is manufactured by somebody.
Whether this liquor is made in Bamberg,
The Herald cannot say. The
Herald will say further, that this
condition is one that the council is
finding very difficult to cope with/ It
is very easy to say that so and so
ought to be done, but the doing of
it is another matter. Neither does
The Herald believe that every man
- ' ' A v
ought to constitute niinseu a nquui
defective or policeman to ferret out
and arrest violators. The law-abiding
people of the town and county
ought to back the officers in every
move they make to enforce all laws,
and we believe they will, but the fact
remains that it is the duty of the
officers to take the initiative. That
is what they are elected for. The
Herald believes that the time has
come for a clean-up of Bamberg and
Bamberg county. This can be accomplished,
we are satisfied, if the
matter is taken up with Governor
Harvey, who has no political axe to
grind. He goes out of office in January
and he is not a candidate. Other
counties in this state are being
cleaned out, and we trust that manyweeks
will not pass before a roundup
is made in Bamberg and Bamberg
county. Conditions are growing
worse all the time. Everybody
knows plenty of liquor is being made
and sold in this county. It is time
\
for the town and county authorities
to get together on a concerted campaign.
Lookmg Yourself Over.
(Bey Edna Kent Forbes.)
* * * ~ A. * r\ limo
it is necessary irum nine w
to repeat advice that I am sure my
old readers are tired of hearing;
that is the advice to look yourself
over thoroughly from time to time,
critically, so that you will not fall
into careless ways. Have as many
mirrors in your room as you wish,
or as you can afford. Mirrors make
a room seem larger and makes it
brighter by reflecting the light.
They should be fixed, of possible, to
show you yourself from different
angles.
You should have a mirror to
y
show you how you look in back.' It
need not be a full -length mirror,
which is much more expensive. It
need only be half the length of your
figure, but if it is placed high
enough from the floor so you can
see your eyes in it you will also be
able to see your whole figure to your
feet. If possible it should be hung
so it reflects youh back while you
are before the mirror of your dressing
table. In this way you are constantly
seeing yourself from all
sides as you dres? and without any
extra time or trouble you will fix
your hair and your frock so it looks
as well from the back as from the
front.
The matter of how you look In
back is an extremely important one.
A woman whose waist and skirt
show a white gap between them
presents a ridiculous appearance.
The woman whose (foliar is constantly
untidy where it fastens behind
will certainly never be considered
good looking or well dressed.
The best 'figure in the world will
lose its grace if it wears a skirt that
either sags or hikes in the back.
The matter of hair dressing is still
more important. Most women who
have any sense about dressing at all
will do their hair becomingly about
the face, but few dress it well in
back.
Limberneck Becoming More Serious.
Frequent inquiries being received
by the poultry departments of colleges
of agriculture indicate that limberneck
already is causing the death
of many growing chicks and hens.
The trouble, which increases as the
weather becomes warmer, is quite
common each year among 1 farm
Hocks, pouitrymen say.
Limberneck, which is a symptom,
rather than a disease, is a paralysis
of the muscles in the neck of- the
'birds which often results from eating
decayed flesh. It is a form of poisoning
that also may be caused by eating
arsenate of lead and other poisons
found on the 'farm. Xo cure
is known for the trouble, the chief
control of it being prevention. Special
care should be taken to see that
all dead chicks and animals are buried
deeply or burned to prevent the
spread of the troub'e, tuo poultrymen
say.
Muriel McCormick, granddaughter
of John D. Rockefeller, has formed a
partnership with Mme. Marguerite, a
modiste, and they will open a dressmaking
establishment in Chicago.
What Do You Know?
To some of those who happen t
glance at these brief paragraphs, i
may come as a bit of surprise to b
told that, of all that any one of u
knows, which has not been ab^orbe
from some source outside o? oui
selves; which we have not read somt
where; which we h^ye not learne
from observation of affairs going o
about us, were written on the bac
of an old envelope, th^re would b
plenty of room for the Declaration c
Independence.
The things we know; the thing
we expect are so; ana me uungs w
guess at are of very different va]
ues each from the other; and, intel
ligent people, who try to keep thes
things in mind, will save their neigh
bors and themselves a lot of trouble
When the public distinctly under
stands that, not fictious, mental hal
lucinations, figments of the imagir
ation, fancies, dreams, rumors, heai
says and gossip will not be consid
ered as good evidence in a Beaufor
court, nor anywhere else, perhap
the few'grains of actual truth whio
are the only things worth while, wi]
be easily gotten at. v
Lie, if you must, but be carefu
where you do it, and. who hears yoi
