AUGUST 31, 1922 RALLY TO STOLL. The County Record has heretofore espoused the cause of no particular candidate for Congress, personally we have had our preference and exercised our right of sufferage in his behalf. With the first primary over and the weakest candidates eliminated, The T>_ I f(,ot ie if<5 Hlltv tn Wil IVXVIU bliUV A W . liamsburg county to urge her sons and daughters to rally to the support of their friend and fellow-citizen, PHILIP H. STOLL, and reelect him to Congress. The run-over will be between Stoll and Gasque. With Mr. Stoll's lead over his opponent in the first primary, it should be no difficult task to elect him in the second primary, but the situation requires that every voter in Williamsburg go to the polls and vote Tuesday, September 12. THE ELECTOX The primary election passed off quietly in Williamsburg county Tuesday and so far as we have been agble to lean.,.without any gross irregularity in the election machinery, notwithstai ding the fact that for the first time in the history of the old state women were permitted by law to go to the polls and vote with the men who have enjoyed this privilege alone since time immemorial. The aptness and understanding displayed by them in taking advantage of this new privilege seems to be a matter of general and favorable comment. There were 160 women on the Kingstree club books and verv few of that number failed to appear at the polls Tuesday, to cast ti-eir ballots. There were a few ballets improperly made out, but it would be unjust t-- lay this at the doors of our wives and daughters simply because they are new at the business. Men have made blunders in preping their ballots ever since there has been a ballot, and some of them stll make these same blunders. Returns from the various precincts in the county came in Tuesday night with unusual promptness, with the possible exception of three or four, the results at which have not been obtainable yet and will not be known until the vote is officially canvassed today by the County Executive committee. The reason is that the tally sheets were sealed up in the boxes and sent in by the managers to the county chairman, who, under the law, cannot open them until Thursday following the day of election. As to the general result, the missing polls will not materially change the results of the election given elsewhere in this newspaper. The editor of The County Record regrets very much that a number of his friends, especially those in the Cades community have been caused to feel unkindly toward him by the publication in the Columbia State last Sunday of an article dealing with the pardon of Tom Poston in 1913. The information contained in the article published in the State was given by him as that newspaper* local repreentative, upon receipt of a request for the facts in the case by that newspaper, and without the remotest thought of hurting the feelings of any one. The contract for the construction of the approaches to the Wateree river bridge at Garner's Ferry on the highway connecting Sumter and Columbia (route No. 3 of the State Highway Department) was awarded Friday to Simmons & Mayrant of Charleston by the Sumter County Board of Commissioners. A PROBLEM OF GOVERNMENT. If the world of workers, dissatisfied with the job, desire to strike, that is their business. If, having struck, the striker stands by with big stick to prevent others from working, that's everybody's business. When the shopmen in the railway yards and shops walked out, that was their business. When they assemble in hundreds,with poles and big sticks to prevent others from taking the place left vacant, that is really war against the government. This is no time for playing to 'he galleries. This country is face to face with a very grave issue. We must either come under virtual sovietism or the business of the country must have the protection of law. At a time like this, when, owing to the building of good roads and better schools, business is taxed to the uttermost limit of its endurance to pay the tax assessor, here comes the almost complete paralysis of transportation and the consequent interruption of business and enterprise. When the business and enterprise of the country crumbles to a downfall, who will keep the institutions aforementioned going? Will labor unions? They have not ever incorporated. They pay no taxes Who supports the schools and keeps up the roads, and pays for the machinery of government? The banks, the merchants, the manufacturing organizations. They pay most of it, almost all of it. We know it is the habit of demagogues to lambast capital, capitalists, merchants, any and everybody that by lambasting may serve to arouse the passions and prejudices of the uninformed. But you may think it out for yourself. We know it to be a fact that there has been the hardest sort of task upon the merchants and other business interests of Union during the past 15 months to keep going. In the face of this has stood the ever increasing tax burden. Conditions cannot go on as heretofore without resulting in catastrophe. When by violence and arbitrary win, in disregard of law and with liftlA accountability to law, the strik er quits his job, then stands over it with a stick to brain the man who attempts to take it, we say it is to be condemned utterly. Besides, it will get the working man nowhere. If he succeeds in carrying out his will the whole business structure will collapse. When the farmers, the producers of the country, and the people generally begin to realize these fundamental facts, they will demand relief?and get it?Union Daily Times. At the Cross Roads. South Carolina is at the cross roads just now. The changes that are coming about in South Carolina affairs are definite changes of the most far-reaching character. South Carolina is changing from an "all cotton" state to a state of diversified agriculture. It is changing from a state in which the marketing of its products has been by the old haphazard methods, to the modern methods of cooperation. It is changing from a state with an antiquated system of taxation to a state with a modern system of taxation. It is changing from a commonwealth indifferent to education to one determined to step into high company in that direction by the development of its schools and the enforcement of compulsory school attendance laws. It is also changing from a state in which its people have been isolated and divided because of bad roads, and no great bridges to a state of improved highways and bridges that will revolutionize living conditions in great areas.?Spartanburg Herald. Continue the Weevil Fight. Clemson College, Aug,, 7.?So long as migration has not set in, a continuation of the program of frequent shallow cultivation where practicable is recommended, and this supplemented by thorough square picking with cheap labor, said Prof. A. F. Conradi, entomologist, at the weekly conference today on the boll weevil situation. Infestation has generally increased throughout the state during the past week, according to reports from the field men and county agents, but there is still a great irregularity in weevil occurrence, square infestation varying from a very low per cent, to 60 to 70 per cent., and in some sections 90 per cent, or over. When migration sets in, there will be greater regularity of infestation. With the migration period about upon us, we must realize that we have about reached the last stage of the battle, and wherever the proper dust and machinery are available we ii>-rTA if e intolliownf lisp in firdpr to hold infestation down as much as possible. Many people are still being misled by the irregularity of infestation. Some fields or parts of fields are lightly infested while others may be very heavily infested. If therefore cei-tain operations are carried on lightly infested fields, credit will be given , to these operations for keeping infestations down, whereas the fact is that the weevil was never there from the beginning. Unless the various factors that determine production are carefully guarded, the results reported as having been obtained by one or more of the various operations have no value whatever. ; Correct "Dust Cloud" Important. j Farmers using approved dusting machines are advised not to depend on the feed regulator for the amount of poison per acre. The mechanical < regulators are intended to control the owiAiinf /nftil Kilt tKlC TOllct Ko Ha. tcrmined by the dust cloud. An observing farmer will soon learn to recognize a dust cloud of about seven pounds per acre. Whenever the cloud is too thin or too thick then the regulator is resorted to for adjustment, but the notches under the regulator I lever should not be depended on for i correct dust cloud. I ? ( A seven-pound cloud gives the cotI ton a sligtly grayish appearance, and to obtain this the machine should be ! operated with the greatest uniformity possible in order to keep the fan running at a uniform speed. If a field! is blotched with white spots after! dusting, either it is overdusted, the, machine poorly managed, or the ground very rough or rocky. Do not allow any part of the dust-1 ing machine to squeak. It effects the. output Oil and grease should not be spared when needed to keep the machine running smooth and to maintain a uniform humming of the fan. Keep the machine in a dry place when j not in use. * i SLATS' DIARY. i (By Ross Farquhar) Friday?Fokes is funny when they ! have groan old sum times.
