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.

However, the outlook can't be so
bad after all. It is said that a Jew

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.

There is over $40,000 in unpaid
taxes on the county treasurer's books.

^~ ^
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.

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.

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 ?

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.

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?

He was right, the hard-headed busless
man he was. The enterprise
e favored and that some day will
e adopted would cost five times as
luohy now as it would have cost
ien.
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.

ccordingly, since a space 20 by 40

1 the same manner as plasterers preare
