Parker is raising hay while Roosevelt
is raising-well, we all know what 1t is.

It is reported that President RooseVelts
favorite exercise is chopping wood. Per-
haps he is training for the business after
he leaves the White House next March
when he will not be furnished with wood
choppers by Uncle Sam.

It will be gratifying to Calvin Garrls's
many friends in this section to know that
he is making winning fight for re-elec-
tion as railroad commissioner. In the up
country counties, where the meetings
have been held so far, he has many friends
who will give him strong support.

A few days ago the press dispatches
proclaimed the news that "a great battle"
had been fought between the Japanese
and Russian forces around Port Arthur
and that the Japs lost $4,000 men. Each
daily report of the battle diminishes the
number killed and we seriously doubt if
any battle has been fought at all, but "a
great battle is imminent"
-.
Last week $4,000 western meat packers
went out on a strike, and so far there is
no prospect of an early settlement Of the
same. The price of meat has already ad-
syanced, and if the strike continues, the
United States will experience a general
meat famine. This strike furnishes an
object lesson to the farmers, and it is to
be hoped that they will profit by it and
raise more meat at home.

The manner in which the daily news
papers are chronicling events and hap
penings at Judge Parker's home is little
short of disgusting. Just think of the
ssorrowful statement that Judge Parker's
hay crop has been damaged by the fire.
quent rains" yet we saw this item in
Tuesdays dailies. What in thunder do
the voters care about Judge Parker's hay
sacrops What we are interested in is his
opinion on the questions before the peo'
PIE. And yet all the reporters can tell US
sis about his hay crop. For the sake OF
harmony they should cut his hay or at
least "cut it put" Of their reports.

We wish that we could imbue every
body in Bamberg with the spirit of the
: shnstling, progressive and thriving city OF
Onion. Those people pull together and
work as one man for the upbuilding Of
their town. They exemplify the name OF
their town in all their actions, when the
rood Of the city or its enterprises are at
stake. There is no decrying the efforts
gof others, but general desire to see the
town grow and prosper, and everything
sending to that most desirable end has
the hearty support and encouragement of
every citizen. They believe in Union,
talk Union, work for Union, and the
spirit they exhibit and the work they do
is WORTHY of emulation by every citizen
sofeyery South Carolina town. Let's have
some Of it in Bsmberg.

We publish with great deal OF pleas
.ure the article of Mrs. Virginia D. Young
.in reply to the editorial paragraph in this
paper last week in reference to DR.. Mary
Walker. Mrs. Young is our good friend,
and we are rather glad that the mistake
was made, for it gives her a chance to
correct it and defend the women suf-
fragists from the charge of "mannish.
ness" However, we must put that mis-
take on "the boys" Ordinarily We &C.
cept responsibility for all that The Herald
says and does, but in this matter We must
plead not guilty. We were away from
home last week and the article was writ
ten during our absence. We make this
explanation for the reason that the writer
would not discuss DR.. Mary Walker in
any event, no matter if she wears pants
or none at all.
We agree with our good friend, Mrs.
Young, in her admiration for tidy house
keepers, women who can sew and EN-.
broider beautifully, make jellies, pre-
serves, take care of the babies, etc. We
believe most men do. In fact, there is, in
our opinion, no grander creation Of God
than a good woman. We love the wo-
men, anyway, believing that no assem-
#bIage of men is complete without their
presence. However, looking after the
affairs of home is not woman's right
