His vote in the first race was
lh?S7, according to the unofficial
ccunt, while according to the ua- j
of*:eiul count in this second prima) y
he received more than two thousand
votes.
From the first it appeared that
the two candidates were running
close in the district so that it would
be hard to tell before the official j

The Herald can only give the lat-!

Washington, Sent. V.?Not the least
important feature of the work of development
in the southern states !s
the improvemnt of health conditions
in certain parts of that section?worh j
in which notable progress has been
made through the cooperation of federal,
state and local authorities and
the Southern Settlement & Development
Organization and its affiliated
state organizations and other organizations'in
the south. The results of
the activities of the United States
public health service and other authorities
and organizations interested
in this matter have been gratifying,
as the following examples will illustrate.
In Chattanooga, Tennessee, and vicinity,
containing a populat.on of
1 (>2,000 there has not been one single
case of typhoid fever this summer,
whereas formerly there were a number.
Huntsville, Alabama, at one
time had a death rat*'_/rom typhoid
that was greater than that of the city
of Chicago, according to officials of

there has been only one case of
typhoid in HuntsviNe and vicinity, it
is stated. Though it is estimated
that there are from 8 to 9 million
cases of malaria annually throughout
the United States, the .public health
service is responsible for the statement
that not a case of malaria was
contracted by any soldier from the
aieas adjacent to the army camps.

to be out again and on duty by the

COMBINATION T9SAGC9
AND POTATO HOUSE
Clemson College.?R. E. Currin,
Sup? rintendent of the Pec Dee Exneriment
Siot.irwv mikI cm P T-Toff_
| munn, Extension horticulturist, have
I w- rked out a plan for the conversion
i of tobacco barns into sweet potato
curing lie-uses anu as a result it is,
likely tliat a good many tobacco barns
will be ^:o converted for the 1919
p: tato crop.
In his bulletin on Tobacco Cu'jturo
inS cutii Carolina (Extension
Bulletin 4?>- Mr. Currin lias two
types of tobacco barns, either of
which can be converted and used for
potato season, which does net conflict
with the tobacco season. Any
(similar tobacco barn can be made
into a potato house and changed ,
back into a tobacco barn season after
season by following the sugges- ,
tions below.
The tobacco barn plans referred
to above call for brick foundation i
with vent holes in the foundation
walls. The walls above the foundation .j
are storm-sheeted and have building ]
paper under the weatherboarding, <
making them practically airtight. (
To convert such a barn place .six ]
brick piers inside the original brick
wall and lay 0x8 sills so that upper (
sides would be even with bam sills; on ]
this foundation (which is made strong ]
to hold at least 1000 bushels of pota- j
toes, place 2x10 or 2x12 sleepers .

boards for floor with cracks between
the boards for ventilation.
Having built a floor as above,
build inside walls, in the same way
the outside walls were built, to say
10 feet above floor level, to one of
the series of tier poles; and lay on
these tier poles a tongue and
grooved floor for a ceiling with four
or five holes for ventilation.
The work of conversion could oe
done after tobacco curing season",
and potatoes would probably be so'd
before another curing season. The
criling laid on the tier poles could
bo easily taken out and the floor
taken out! in sections. The inner
walls would remain, and another
season the floor and ceiling could

that good progress is being

counties difficulty is being experienced
In securing solicitors. The report
comes from every section that the
people are waiting to join. All that
is needed is to have solicitors to ask

Concerning the record made by
Spartanburg, J. Skottowe Wannamaker,
president of the South
Carolina Cotton Association and also
i?f the American Cotton Association,
has made this statement:
"Spartanburg county, South
Carolina, has furnished an example
for the entire cotton belt. This county
has arranged to warehouse and
finance their cotton until it reaches
i price agreeable to the owner, and
lor this purpose has raised the sum of
three thousand dollars to be used fort
the erection in different sections of
;he county standard cotton warehouses,
to be operated under the
United States Federal Warehouse Act.
[ most earnestly urge that this plan
)p pushed throughout the length and b
jroadth of the cotton belt and that t
Spartanburg county go one st.p t
'urther and urge the senators and o
!< ngressmen from South Carolina
,( promptly pass an act stipulating a
hat cotton can be delivered from the r
\arehouses in Spartanburg and from a
similar warehouses throughout the s
ength ami breadth of the cotton belt li

'Washington.?Reaction from the

conditions in August. Not only are
some foodstuffs declining in cost to

apparel, such as textiles and
shoes, also has been affected, the redew
says. Business continues at an
'extremely high level" and confilonee
of a satisfactory solution of

MAKING BIS RECORD
For Sales of Tobacco During

Passed
FARMERS ARE WILLING
TO PUT IN MONEY
And do Their Portion Toward
I\Ialung Better Facilities in
Time for Another Year
'Ike ales of tobacco on the Horry
Ma.ktts tor the crop of 191t), ceased
last week, and there will be no
more sales on these markets until
another crop has been prow 1. The
n cord shows the greatest amount
\' i sold in Horry County.
More and more the growers of tobacco
in this section of the State realize
t;,e need of better facilities for
.lie handling; of th ir product. A
number of farmers who l ave made
mene\ this year. They are perfectly
u.ve approached tobacco men and
slated that they would throw in the
capital with whi-h to build still aneU
er warehouse at Conway, one that
will be larger than any now being
run here. The farmers flunk that
tl.ey are entitled to more room in
which to have their tobacco disposed
cf, and they agree with the business
men that the erection of more warehouses
and prir.e rooms for the buyers
acre is a real necessity if the market
is to <lo its best in times to
come. v.
V
While some of the planters have
'ailed to make in tie h from the crop
this year owing to the unexpected
lains or some other cause, yet the
gnat majority of them have made
money this yaer. They are perfectly
willing to contribute their share of
the money to place greater facilities
here. They see where they have lost
money this year for the lack of
enough room.

Discussing labor conditions, the
3oard recorded that reports from the
majority districts designate the
situation as "unsettled." In certain
lis tricts a decreasing efficiency of
labor is remarked, which is ascribed
to relaxation from war time pressure
fen maximum production. At the
same time additional demands made
jv the workers have been granted,
n large part due to the general
shortage of labor which exists ?n
many sections.
