CONTORTEONISTS.

In the campaign for governor. be-
fore the first primary, many Of the
newspapers and others sought to mar
row the issue down to Statewide pro-
hibition or local option. Some Of the
newspapers who fought the Statewide
prohibition candidate are now support
ing him, urging that now the issue is
men and not measures
If the liquor question was an issue
in the first primary, we fail to see how
il is no longer an issue. The preteXt
that a local option senate has been
chosen is very fimsy, because there is
no certainty until vote is taken how
the next senate will stand. And then
before the first primary it was urged
by some that the election Of Mr.. Feath-
erstone would commit the State to a
Statewide prohibition policy and re-
open the whole liquor agitation, which
it was hoped was now happily at rest.
Now we are told that the election of
Mr.. Featherstone will have no bearing
on the question of local option or pro-
hibition.
I'VE have seen contortionists and
contortionists, but these latter-day po-
litical contortionists are at the head
of the list
AS matter of fact, the people of
South Carolina are tired Of the whole
Whiskey agitation and are content to
let the present local option law alone,
believing that the interests of temper
ance and the interests of the whole
State will be thus best subserved.

appreciation for the very liberal sup
port given me in my reelection as pro"

I could not, nor did expect the sup

to discharge my official duties. I as
sure each and every one that I not

By action of county union I beg to

measure it carefully, giving its exact
measurements, indicating the length
of lines bordering the plot, and as far

We shall have to insist in the inter-

OFFICIAL HIGHWAY.

The committee appointed to locate
the official highway between NeWberry
and Spartanburg, the route frcm Co.
lumbia to Newberry already being
settled, had decided to start from New
berry this morning. A telegram from
Mr.. Jno. Wood, of spartanburg, says
the date has been postponed on ac-
count of the rain.
From Newberry to Spartanburg sew
eral routes have been suggested; one
via Laurens and Woodruff, another via
Cross Anchor, another via Santuc and
Union and still another via Whitmire
and Glenn Springs. Of course the
route to Greenville via Laurens is al
ready determined upon.
The Herald and News is not adVo-
eating the selection Of any one of these
routes. In fact We have not been over
any of them and, therefore, could not
inteiligently give an opinion as to
which one would be the best. The dis
tance does not vary more than eight
or zen miles as among any of them.
The question for the committee Will
be to determine which route can be
mace the best road in winter and in
SUI nler and also the disposition of the
people along the several routes to CO.
operate in keeping the route in condi-
ton. It is a very important matter
and we would be glad to see the peo-
pie along the routes cooperate with
the county officials and put their roads
in GOOD condition. There should be
re prejudice against automobiles for
the reason that the automobile is here
to stay and besides road that is good
ter an automobile is good for a wagon
OF buggy and if it should happen that
all the roads would be in good condi-
ton and properly posted, travellers
could select any route they might de-
sire. Some, for instance, might desire
to go by Laurens, while others might
prefer the route via Union and we
see no reason why all of the roads
could not be made so that a traveller
could select his own route. In fact,
there is no Question before the people
today that is of more Importance than
the building of good roads whether
they be automobile roads or wagon
roads.
We shall be very glad to see the
people of Newberry along the three
proposed routes through this county
cooperate with the supervisor in put
ting these roads in good condition.

RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS RACE


At its meeting on Friday night the
State Democratic executive committee,
after tabulating the returns, declared
a second race between Cansler and
Scarborough for railroad commission
er, but since that time a clerical error
of 5000 votes in the Greenville returns
in favor of Scarborough has been dis
covered, which will place Hampton in
the second race with Cansler. 1t was
necessary for the State executive COM
mittee to meet again Monday night to
recanvass the returns.
While the railroad commission has
been more or less a joke in this State,
so far as accomplishing anything is
concerned, it would be serious re-
Election upon the entire State to elect
Cansler member Of the commission.
His cheap buffoonery ought not to ap-
peal to the voters of South Carolina in
choosing one of their State officers.
The railroad commissioners, as rep9e-
sentatives of the State of South Caro-
lima, come into close contact with men
high in the business world, and surely
We can have men on the commission
who have some conception of dignity
and of the amenities of life.
Mr.. Hampton pitched his campaign
upon a high plane. He is a son Of
General Wade Hampton, and while
that should not weigh in matter of
this kind, and while he did not use it
in advancing his candidacy, it at least
is not against him. AS we have here
tofore stated, we had never met him
until the campaign meetlng IN New
berry, and We have 10 interest in his
candidacy except the good of the State,
but he Impressed US as being a man
capable of filing the position worthily,
and certainly between him and Cansler
there is no comparison.
We hope very much to see South
Carolina on next Tuesday pile up a
heavy majority for Hampton. Elect
ing a man to any State office ought
not to be considered in the light Of a
joke.

RED SPIDER \ SERIOUS NATTER.
Doing Great Damage to Cotton in This
SectiOn-FarmerS Are Much
Concerned.

| Editor The Herald and News: The
ravages Of the red spider are far more
alarming than many farmers realize
Its presence is evidenced by condi-
! tion or by the appearance upon the
cotton of red spots in the centre of the
! leaves; then crimping, drying and
, shedding of the leaves and fruit. This
condition in times past was recogniz-
ed at "red rust" and very little or no
attention was given it. But it has now
reached such proportions as to attract
the attention Of the national govern
ment, and much more ought the cotton
growers vigilant and jealous atten-
ton be given to it.
Government authorities tell US the
red spider is observed throughout the
civilized world, and that it seems to
have an especial liking for the poke
berry, Jerusalem oak and the violet;
that among these plants seem to be
it's birth place. I am convinced that
the poke berry is instrumental in per-
petuating and spreading this formid-
able enemy to the cotton plant and
cotton grower. I and others have seen
it before, but never so extensive and
serious as now.
The government prescribes spray
of lime and sulphur as destroyer and
preventive. Some of those who have
used the spray claim that they could
see no beneficial results; that in dry
weather the spider is more active and
spreads more rapidly than in damp or
rainy weather.
Now, farmers, it devolves upon us
too do everything possible to stamp out
the red spider by destroying all poke
stalks, root and branch, and by chang.
ing our terrace this winter so as to
efectually destroy the Jerusalem oak,
and plant the cotton field to other
crops.
Scarcely has a. cotton-feld escaped
the damaging effects of this pest
throughout the country. The crop in
this country will be damaged to the
amount of several hundred bales.
With the boil weevil threatening;
with Georgia alone intervening; and
the red spider present, with its des-
tructiye work, the cotton farmers have
reason to be concerned. and alarmed
for the future.
These pests may be warning of
Providence for US to change from an
irrational to a rational system; from
cotton to something that will keep soul
and body together; to corn, wheat, oats
and live stock.
I trust We will meet these conditions
sensibly. ". G. Brown.

ness of the Day Nursery and Kinder

a day they may be left there from
$50 in the morning until o'clock at
night amording safe and pleasant

Indebtedness. A number OF churches.
