Thursday, August 10, 1922. If it is possible for the boll weevil . to be talked to death, we predict his early demise. ' Some few Bamberg folks have the money to go away on pleasure trips this summer. Most of us are so poor we can hardly stay at home. ????? Query for the state Democratic executive committee: If Blease be allowed to run in a Democratic primary, why not Joe Tolbert? Looks like we are going to have a new kind of Demacracy in this state in the next few months?or maybe we have it now?known as "Joe Tolf bert Democracy.'* Bad checks are prevailing as epidemic in this section. One man, on being tendered a check, said: "Is thisN check good? It don't look good." Fact is too many are bad. . _ ^ i?i ? However, the outlook can't be so bad after all. It is said that a Jew 2r* . t v. never moves to a dead town, and a 1 ?' ? morniTifilo octah Orcili lit/ W XlCL/i C W vauwiAv vwvww I . lishment has just opened in Bamberg. So cheer up, maybe the worst is over. Tolbert denies that he has accepted any money from any applicant whom he has recommended for appointment to office. If he will make this statement in the form of a'sworn affidavit the chances are that a charge of perjury will be preferred against him in the courts. We'll f,. warrant that some of his appointees will not make an affidavit that they have not paid for their offices. o Wi There is over $40,000 in unpaid taxes on the county treasurer's books. >- i ^~ ^ Treasurer Jennings nas a. uuu^c m 'this issue of The Herald giving delinquent tax payers fair warning that on September first all unpaid taxes will be turned over to the sheriff in execiittons. From what The Herald / x (hears, it seems certain that these delinquent taxpayers are decidedly less s able to pay their taxes now than at the usual time, last winter. The state legislature was well meaning In granting this extension, but we have never been able to follow the legislature's reasoning that people (would- be more able to pay taxes in July or August than in December to p v March. g The Herald has always supported any movement for the advancement and betterment of the people, and it expects to continue to do so. When the boll weevil came, we joined in with anything that seemed to hold promise for the farmers. Many of these movements, it seems now, do not give much promise of prosperity to this county. In fact, we are just about convinced that our people will f' - ihave to stick to cotton, whether they want to or not. Of course, there is ?' 1 tobacco. It is a staple crop, and should be considered worthy of keeping up. f Truck may be all right, but it has proven disastrous so far. It looks like now the best bet for the Bamberg county farmer is to make cotton in spite of the boll weevil. It can be done. It is done elsewhere. ft" < It is the one crop that our people +Z.' know how to handle. m mm gr: Some of our exchanges seem to be worried because of the relatively few - women who thave enrolled to vote in the Democratic primaries this summer. There is nothing to be alarmed about. The Herald stated its belief before women were given the ballot that only a small percentage of Soutfi Carolina women had any desire to vote. It may be stated as a fact that of those enrolled there is included a large percentage of those who did not wish the ballot, but are going to vote for patriotic reasons. It is now a duty for the women to vote, but it is a new duty that has been thrust upon them, as well as a novel duty. It will take several elec% ( tions before the women will enroll and register as do the men, but it will j come in due time. And with their voting will come purer and better politics in South Carolina. Xo Acorn. In Ohio they tell a story of a man who brought for entrance there a student, his son for v.fcom he wished a shorter course than the regular one. "My boy can never take all that in" said he. "He wants to get through quicker. Can you arrange it?" "Oh, yes," said the president. "He can take a short course; it all depends on what you want to make of him. When God wants to make an oak he takes a hundred years, but He takes only two months to make a squash." WALKER OUT FOR HENRY c CABOT LO DOE'S SCALP c li (Savoyard, in The State.) e If that young Joseph Henry Wal- t ker, who is contesting the Republi- v can nomination for United States sen- r ator with Henry Cabot Lodge in the h old commonwealth of Massachusetts, t is a chip off the old block he is migh- t ty apt to bring trouble to the aristo- S cratic precincts of Xahant. Lodge is as patrician as "all the blood of all the Howards." Walker is as pleb- o ian as Sicius Dentatus. The pride of p the Siour de Coucy was humility in v sack cloth compared with the Puritanic arrogance of the present chief n of the house of Cabot and a lienal descendant of the Hart- a ford convention. Montmorency p unhorsed and disarmed, held t captive in a peasant nov- o el, would remain the spoiled favor- b ite of fortune compared with the con- ti dition of Henry Cabot Lodge if de- a feated by the son of the grandest old o shoemaker our glorious union ever c saw. g In the fifty-second congress Mas- d sachusetts was represented by a son S of the great "war governor,". An- n drew, by a great grandson of Roger ^ Sherman, by George Fred Williams, a by a son of the house of Coolidge, by b Moses T. Stevens, by William Cogswell, bv J. C. Crosby, by Henry Ca- s; bot Lodge. All these were indorsed by the sacred Codfish of Massachu- " setts's blue-blooded aristocracy. But b the said consecrated old Cod must b have thrown a series of agonizing n fits when he discovered in the dele- tl gation one Elijah A Morse, the gentleman who got rich selling a stove a polish he named "Rising Sun." in e the Succeeding congress this enor- d mous and tremendous statesman ex- b hausted what Charles Sumner once t] called "ridiculosity" when he orated a in denunciation of Grover Cleveland ^ for a vote of-a private pension bill,, b at the close of every sentence of that wonderful address, in mournful and tearful numbers, Mr. Moore uttered the refrain, "He neve* smiled again, ^ \Tr Snonlrpr -hp never smiled again." ~ ~ \1 Some wit said of the famous English actor Foote that ?n accosion be loved to look "like a basket of chips on 4 R the road to hell to be burned." .Morse beat that, beat it out of fight, and even,the sacred Codfish would have P roared with riotous laughter had ihe been present. * * ^ But old Joseph Henry Walker was A the kingpin of the Massachusetts delegation. He %was a wonderful man. He was a big bundle of commonsense, A of sterling honesty, of bad manners. He was as candid as Ben Tillman, A and as fearless as Hector of Troy.' TT * 11? ^ onH ?16 was lilt: suit U1 a auuciuan^ uuu himself a shoemaker. He was a fine business man and in honest walk ^ accumulated a big fortune. He was a pillar of the Baptist church and made T bounteous contributions to the great Baptist college, Brown university. He was an inveterate Republican, but mugwumped in 18S4 and voted for ^ Grover Cleveland, something Henry Cabot Lodge wanted to do, but could . not muster the courage to do. He manufactured the "Walker boot," fa mous in its day, celebrated for the excellence of the material of which i*. was fashioned and .notable for the superior workmanship of its manufacture. The Walker boot was syncs! onyn for honesty in business. ^ One day he gave me in private con- ' A versation a lecture on the secret of <4 success in business that I wish I ' could repeat, for legitimate business in America would prosper by a prac- ^ tice of this old fellow's philosophy. In violent manners he assailed Geo. si Fred Williams in a speech. He was called to order, his words were tak- 9 en down and for a while it seemea ? + >.? >* + v./-? Viaiicq titoc coi'nc to hp fool liiai LJLl^ UUUO^ ?? u?3 VV p enough to expel'him. The thing was ^ referred to a committee and there it died, as I recollect. He was the under dog in the fight, and he got my sympathy. I went to him and re- , Q lated to him stories of fiercer assaults s< made in debate than he was guilty of and ihe asked me to find them for him, which I did. He was thus ^ equipped for the battle, and was disappointed when it failed to come. * * * w If Joseph Henry Walker had been -g gifted with clearness of statement = and lucidity of expression he would I have writ his name on the congressional roll. His defeat was partly due to the want of academic education; but mostly it was chargeable to the vigor and enthusiasm of his nature. He was much like that other old Yankee, Israel Putnam, just as fearless, just as audacious, just as impetuous. He urged that congress expend the entire surplus in the treasury?over $200,000,000?for public buildings and grounds. He and I had a cussing match over it and I charged that his desire to squander the surplus was to deprive the Democrats of a most convincing argument to support reform of the robber tariff. He retorted that I was a fool, also a reprobate, and ! then he expounded his plan. He i . ,i ould be clear and lucid in private onversation. When speaking1 in pubic he strove to be eloquent and when loquent he was not entirely lucid, hough he was one of the two men -rho got the better of Bourke Cockan, the most eloquent man congress as known the past half of a cenury. The other man who trimmed he brilliant Irishman was Swager iherley, of Kentucky. * * * It was when the financial "'panic" f 1893 was at its worst that Walker roposed to spend the surplus. Here ras his argument: "This government is just beeuning to grow. Half a century hence presidential cabinet will consist of t least 20 secretaries of as many deartments. Today land is cheaper han it will ever be again. The wage f labor is smaller than it will ever e a?:ain. The cost of building masrial is cheaper than -it will ever be gain. In this town we are paying ut enormous sums for rent of offies to house the government continents. The thing to do is to conemn and purchase every foot of round south of Pennsylvania ave? ? *u * V. /-\ o T-*if rv 1 o n /I t V* o UC UCINV CC11 CLIO capitui uuu vuv ihite house and between the avenue nd the Mall and erect grand and eautiful and capacious buildings 3 house the government.

Strength to young Joe Walker's rm. He is as courageous and as honst as his dad. I doubt if he has his ad's sagacity. Lodge would rather y beaten 20 times by a patrician aan by this son of a plebian, grand man as tnat oia pieoian certainiy ras. There are tidings that there will e a "heap of unrest in Massachusetts.

A soap solution, made with 00 barrels of the product and mixed 1 the same manner as plasterers preare lime, was piped to the porous oor, and steam forced through it. he immediate transition into bubles began, and these soon rose to a uge scintilating mass, in which the i ancers performed, the whole prejnting, according to illustration and escription in the Popular Mechanics lagazine, a scene of fairy like splenor.
