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

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.
