CONFIDENT OF LEADING RACE Florence's mayor, W. R. Barringer, in an interview with a reportei of the Weekly News Review expressed his confidence in leading in the race for Congress. That there will he a second race he grants, but the ultimate victory is practically assured. Mr. Barringer is basing his predictions upon reports coming in from prominent leaders all over the district. The growing tendency seems to be for a change, as folks are tiring of the wasteful methods of government and their thoughts naturally turn to a man of proven executive and econo mic ability. Mayor Barringer says "that in his private and public life he has alwaytried to be an as et rather than a liability to his community. That, the people now are being taxed until it hurts and that no one should be taxed beyond his ability to pay." He believes in America for Americans and to provide useful employment for those already in our midst before letting in the foreign horde. ll * ******************#**** I * I V ege I We set a fr< JC II tables every da) HI the vegetables of 1 1 i 1 that will make i 1" ii to trade here.

It is believed by men < who have studied the subject of marketing that these co-operative Associations will do much for the farmers of the South. Some of these men , .1 l.i. 4- U ~ ,?. ...:n i*.\ |jt uuuui iiitu iiic iai iiici s v? 111 stick to it long: enough to give such a plan a fair trial. Growers of fruit in California and Florida have profited greatly from marketing- Associations through which they have sold their ; products when unorganized fruit growers had to let their fruit rot on the trees. The Herald has said again and again repeats that the tobacco Mar- i eting Association can succeed if the members of it will stick together and see that the Association is properly 1 managed. As some of the signers of contracts have seen fit to break them, according to reports, it is just now interesting to know what the contract provides for in case of breach. The contract plainly says that if the tobacco is not delivered according to the contract the planter will be liable for 5c per pound as liquidated damages. Ibis much is eas> and simple but it means that a suit would have to be brought against the planter and judgment obtained against him for the oc per pound. The majority of the farmers are what; is known in law as insolvent, and this means that they cannot be made to pay their debts because they can claim the homestead exemption of $1,000.00 in land and .$500.00 in personal property. Where a planter does not own propeity what benefit would a judgment be to tlie Association? The contract contains another provision, however, which is that the Association shall be entitled to an In junction order from the Court to prevent any farmer from disposing of the tobacco other than through the co-operative warehouse. This means that when a planter has sold a part of his tobacco and intends to dispose of the remainder that the Association may require an order from the Judge which will put him in contempt of Court by selling otherwise than provided in the contract. This is about all there is to it. No man should sign a contract unless he means to fulfill it. Men who do oth^rwho than keep their contracts aie those who do less good in their community. When a man signs a contract it is his duty to fulfill it. The moral law, if no other, requires him to comply with his obligations. o He believes that Henry Forci should have had Muscle Shoals long ago and will work toward giving it to him with the full assurance tha' he will always sell better fertilizer to the farmer at a cheap rate. He advocates strongly Federal aid in the building of good roads, proper drainage of our lowlands and pledges his efforts toward the passage of a law that will give to our Southern farmer a more edequate system of long time loans, helping them in the growing and marketing of their crops. Mayor Karranger says "that if elected he will retire from his present activities and devote his entire energy and time to further service of hi^ fellow countrymen."?Florence Weekly News Review. o Pay for the Herald today. f * 11 % tables 1 % ssh supply of vege-1 t, and we have all % * the season at prices % it advisable for you f * I I * vou want ?nrl wp $ nmediately. f \NI) KEBP HEALTHY! * * * UME & CO. | Telephone No. 7 * ! ************************* $ , CONWAY, S C., AUGUST 24, YOU NEED THIS You cannot keep up with the times in your county without reading the Herald.

Another story was going the 1 rounds here last week of a pile of tobacco sold on one row at less than ' ten cents, then placed over into another row, unknown to the buyers and warehouse management and resold during the same sale, bringing over forty cents the pound. Truly there must be some buyers who do not know the grades of tobacco. This did not happen in the Conway market. * * + * The best of roads cannot hold up under the strain of such weather as this section has had during the past three weeks.

It enables the shop to turn out work much quicker and have it ready to deliver to suit the needs of business men. It saves the time of a man to feed it. The unit accomplishes work that is superior to that which the shop could turn out before. It eliminates ihc finger marks, always a source of annoyance and trouble with hand fed work. he press being a great improvement over the models used before, the ink distribution being accomplished by improved methods and attachments, the work is more uniform and shows a better appearance. The work turned out at the Herald shop has been good already before the addition of this new unit. With the new unit installed the work can be done quickly and certainly the equal of any that can be produced anywhere. Customers of the Herald are welcome to call and see the new machine at work. The Herald was the first paper in South Carolina to purchase one of these latest and improved machines made by the Chandler & Price Company and known as their Craftsman press.
