Th notice of the primary election appear in another column of The Herald, am qo full details wfi rftfp our readers to that notice, whicl should be read carefully. The Her aid especially urges the ladies to reai this notice so that they may familiar ize themselves with the rules. Thi will prevent much confusion a&t th' polls.

A this system varies much from th< usual election rules,.it will be wel for all voters to study the rules be fore going to the polls next Tuesday A copy of the official ballot ii printed below for the information o the voters. The form of the ballo differs with different clubs. For in stance, Bamberg voters will vote i ballot containing the candidates fo: congress and all county officers anc the candidates for magistrate in Bam berg. All the clubs included in th< Bamberg magisterial district wil vote this same ballott while Denmarl voters, and other voters included ii the Denmark magisterial district will vote the same Fallot, with th< exception that the r ; strate at Den mark will be voted for instead o: Bamberg magistrate.

M. ) At a meeting of a number of citi3 zens Monday afternoon interested in ] - the holding of a county fair in Bam- i t berg this fall, it was decided to call 1 i a meeting of all the citizens of the i j county interested in this matter. This 1 , meeting is to be held at the court 1 - house on Friday afternoon at 6 1 r o'clock. 1 7 A- meeting of a number of citizens ? - interested in this matter was held 1 some time ^ko. at which it was de- < 3 cfded to hold the fair along the same s i lines as last year. This meeting was 1 ? enthusiastically in favor of the fair, 1 i and Mayor Thomas, who acted as < i chairman last year, was'authorized < to appoint a general working com- J t mittee to make the necessary ar- , ) rangements. 1 I Since that time, however, condi- < t tions have arisen which seriously in- a terfere with the plans for holding the * fair. It has been found that it will ( not be possible tp use the tobacco 1 warehouse for this purpose this year. < Last yeal- both warehouses were 1 used, and these buildings were donat- < ed free of charge, and Served very 1 nicely indeed for this purpose. Re- i cently, however, as is generally known, the Denbow warehouse has i been destroyed by fire, while the i Farmers warehouse has been taken 1 over by the Tobacco Grower^Cooper- s ative association. The association 1 will keep the warehouse open at least ^ until December 1st, and perhaps t longer, and this would put the dates 1 I for a county fair, if held in this ( warehouse, entirely too late in the t fall, as it would be at least three or ? v four weeks after getting possession - of the warehouse before it could be s > properly arranged for a fair. ? The proposition now, as viewed t 1 by those at the committee meeting ' Monday, is to raise a little money t and put up some. inexpensive build- j ings. However, .if anybody can offer I ( ' a better suggestion, it will be listen- | 1 ed to with interest and attention. , c / ; At any rate, it is earnestly urged ! that everyone interested in the fair i ; attend this meeting. It has been ari raneed at such an hour thatdt will ' provide a nice ride for "those out of ' town to attend in the cool of the evening. The promoters of the fair j wish it distinctly understood ithat s the fair is to be a county fair apd j not a Bamberg fair. Unless the co- ( operation of the people of the county c can be secured, any kind of a fair r will not be the success ft should be. <] Mayor Thomas will endeavor to i have some facts and figures ready to I v present at the meeting, and final! T disposition of the matter will be j made at this time. It would be most > v unfortunate to allow the fair to die aborning, especially after such a nice ^ start was made last year. But the s facts are as seated and it is now up T to the people to decide whaf thdy a want to do. If everybody will join ^ in, the burden will be so light that j. no one will feel it in* the slightest. ^ We can get together on other things, j Times are hard, it is true, but it j would be unfortunate to miss an op- j, portunity such as now presents it^ j self. . ' v * v The women especially are asked to a attend the meeting. Their assist- j ance and cooperation is needed. c Remember the date and time, Fri- q day, August 25th, at 6 o'clock, at the j court house, and be there. ^ The Graded School Opens September / / i Prof. E.

The still ] cvas one of sixty-gallon capacity, and ; cvas complete, it is said, in every detail. The distillery was not the usual ; hiome-made variety, but an A-No. 1 i iffair. Along with the still 900 gal ions of "mash" was destroyed. This luantifcv of mash was sufficient, it is* ; 3aid, to have made 150 gallons of 1 liquor. No whiskey was found on < :he premises. This still was located ( ibout a half mile from the home or i Charlie Robinson in the Edisto river ] swamp. i A warrant was served on Charlie \ Robinson, charging him with the ] ownership and operation of the still. 1 lUong with Mr. Robinson, four negroes, Gus Jennings, John Rucker, ; Calhoun Rowe, and Willie Gardner, ; vere arrested charged with being op* ] jrators. All were released on $500 \ Dond for appearance in the state ?ourt, and it is also Jinderstood that ( :his case will be carried to the United < States court. i Thursday afternoon, a raid was i nade on the farm of J. W. Price, lear the Edisto river, and a small ] Aiitfit rtroe PAnficAota/1 xuuicuiauu UUUUb nao vvuu^vuwvu^ ilong with about three quarts of al- 1 ege<J home-made liquor. Mr. Price : vas arrested on a charge of operating ( his still, qnd was carried before the 1 Jnited States commissioner in ' )rangeburg Thursday afternoon. He ] vas released on $300 bond pending < i preliminary hearing. 1 These raids were conducted by two ] state constables and one United ( states revenue office. In a raid some wo or three weeks ago, W. D. Blume < vas arrested on a charge of viola- ] ion of the prohibition laws and was ( )laced under bond, alone with Jonah ( 2owart, Mr. Blume's clerk, and a nejro upon whom was found a small luantitv of lio-uor at the time. < U/sIl , UULIL IVIUII^CL Vf ILL be Established Here For several years the people of Samberg have been, trying to devise j ;ome plan by which the country peo>le can dispose of their produce. The :ity council, along with the Book ( :lub, are going to open up a curb ; narket within the next vreek or two. fhe idea is, tthe farmer can bring lis produce to town, say every Satirday, and the housekeepers in town vill go to the designated place (the dace yet to be decided upon) and >uy vegetables and eggs and chickins. In turn the farmer in exchange yijl buy from the grocer his flour, / ugar, etp. In that was the farmer | rill find ready sale for his produce, md the people in Bamberg city will J >e helped. It is hoped this plan will ] >e met with approval, and times s ron't seem half as hard to any of us. * L suitable place will be fixed up withn the next two weeks and the mar~ :et will be opened by the first week n September. The ladies in town ? rho have any produce to sell will be I t liberty to bring it to market too. Jy earnest cooperation by the people -] if the town and country a better ac-'' i luaintance in every way will be reaized and the exchange of wares will i ie beneficial to everybody. ( Issues Crop Estimate. 1 ^ 1 The Peoples National Bank, of lock Hill has issued an estimate of he 1922 cotton crop, based, the ^ ank states, on information from alV t he counties after a careful survey of onditions. The estimate places, the ? louth Carolina crop at 553,264 bales, I gainst a production of 770,661 last I ear. A few counties of the state, ucliiding Bamberg, is credited with ^ n increase, while a general decrease ^ f nearly 25 per cent, is predicted.' < 'he following are the estimates for ( ounties in this section: , 1921 1922 ^ Liken 13,883 19,850 t illendale .... 4,425 5,000 c Bamberg ;. 4,003 ? 6,500 ^ tarnwell 7,905 10,600 _ !alhoun 5,331 5,331 ,'olleton 2,035 2,500 c >orchester No Report | lampton 3,038 / 6,000 ^ Orangeburg 18,425. 19,800 I It will be noted that while inreases are predicted in each of these s ounties, except Calhoun, where the S ame croD is estimated, practically ^ 11 of the Piedmont and Peedee coun- J ies show a tremendous decrease; ~ rincipally because of the more serius weevil infestation than last year, v ogether with unfavorable weather h onditions. i] The rains appear to have desisted. C it this writing there has been no ain fall since Friday afternoon. The o airing-ofl has been accompanied by a he proverbial "cool day in August." * dght covering every night is very p omfortable. ti Clint R. Hooton 1 Dies at Denmark t Clinton R.
