II ECORATION DAY will be observed tomorrow
- throughout the United States and its colonial
possessions It has been apart that great united
and progressive people may do honor to the memory
those who fought for the preservation the Union
and who died in the struggle who have die since
from other causes. May the weather be element and
untoward incident the day
One Of the saddest features of Decoration Day is
that it reveals the that time is making the
ranks Of the Civil War veterans Each year the ranks
Of the Grand Army Of the Republic the Union
Legion and other orders composed Of survivors the
greatest warke struggle that convused our ma
ton grow thinner and thinner the participants in the
parades become and feebler in a few years
Of them will be left Such organizations will dis
appear from the face of the earth and the work of the
public in honorng the memory Of the dead will de-
yolve upon the Sons Veterans and kindred organza
tions
While the veterans last, the American people should
reveal by outward display their appreciation of those
patriotic services to the nation which found their tr
umphant elimination at Appomattox Here in Will
mington there should be a brave display Of national
colors tomorrow. Each person who has an American
flag. matter whether it be large or small should
fling il to the breeze not only in honor of the memory
of those veterans who dead and gone but also as
mark Of respect to those who survive and who ded-
cate the day to their departed comrades.

SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.

The county campaign meeting was
held yesterday at Denmark. The
last meeting of the campaign will be
held in Bamberg.
Mr.. o. J. Zeigler, of Bamberg, has
been awarded a scholarship to Glenn
son college from Bamberg county
there being but one vacancy. The
examination was held at the court
house on July 10, and Mr.. Zeigler
made the highest average of the sew
eral applicants.
A meeting Of the county Democrat
ic executive committee has been call
ed by County Chairman Folk for Fri
day, for the purpose of arranging for
the holding of the primaries, the first
of which will be held on August rs:
and the second one, if necessary, two
weeks later. At the meeting of the
committee managers of election will
be appointed, and other arrangements
will be made.
The Democratic club rolls will be
revised at the meeting Of the execu-
tive committee tomorrow. If there
are any names improperly enrolled
they will be taken off, and if anyone
has made application for enrolment
and was refused, they will be enroll
ed if otherwise qualified. So far on
ly two names have been found on the
rolls in duplicate, and it is thought
this was simply an error.

"FACTIONALISM" IN 20.
Found Necessary Then to Redeem
State-Why Not Now?

To the editor of The Bamberg
Herald: At the county campaign
meeting held at Olar on the 29th.
inst, there was request made in
the form of petition signed by about
seventy-five voters, asking whether
the candidates would announce them
selves in favor of or against the pres
ent administration. Of course it was
optional with a candidate, nor could
it have been otherwise, whether he
announced himself for or against the
administration. The majority of the
candidates were reticent in the mat
ter. OF course the purpose Of the
paper was to invite a candidate to
state his position, so that those MAX
ing a way for factionalism, could
vote against the administration. The
petition was gotten up by the anti
Blease faction. l hold that it is far
better to enter into factionalism by
an element of the citizenship, and if
possible, in this manner try to elimi-
nate the effect and influence of the
Blease administration. l voice the
sentiment of factionalism by the
anti-Bleaseites. 1t is true that FAC
tionalism' is proverbial' with a re-
publican form of government, and it
is more often better to fight against
this inclination, and reactions like
these often discourage revolution.
The failure in the execution of the
law in South Carolina has already
had a demoralizing effect upon our
people, and the trend is towards an
archism, as illustrated in the attempt
to assassinate DR.. Mcintosh.
1t must not be FORGOTTEN that fac
tional lines were drawn in this State
in '76, when we went through the
reconstruction period. The negro
was placed on an equal footing with
the white man upon his emancipa-
tion, and it took men with fearless
ness, and yet with greater degree of
prudence, to wrench the vote from
him who was not fitted to exercise
it, and the peril of which threatened
the peace and harmony of people who
have ruled, and shall continue to
rule by the help of God Almighty.

Representing Carlisle.

Head Master ]. C. Guilds returned
Wednesday morning froln a twelve
day trip in the interest of the Car
Isle School. During this trip he
did work in the counties of Calhoun,
Richland, Fairfield, Kershaw, Sum-
ter, and Clarendon, and reports that
the prospects Of Carlisle receiving a
goodly representation from these
counties are bright. There were
twenty-five counties represented last
year and the school is trying each
year to enlarge the circle of its pat
ronage and influence.
Mr.. Guilds says that while crops
are backward in some sections, the
crop condition generally is very good.
Tobacco is the money crop in a good
deal of this territory and the farmers
are quite blue at present because of
the European wars effect upon the
market. The tobacco crop is splen-
did and prices were good up to few
days ago.
Mr.. Guilds travels by automobile.
He left his machine at Lynchburg and

dress the Bamberg Citizens.

Last Thursday several experts from
Clemson college and Winthrop COL
lege and the national government ad-
dressed meeting at the court house
in the interest of the farmers. The
meeting was not largely attended, but
those present heard some good talks
from the experts, all Of whom have
made life studies of their themes
and gave expert advice on various
farm topics.
Addresses were made on live stock,
fruit culture, hay and grain crops,
domestic science and community i'm
proyement work. A feature of the
meeting was the prominence given
to the discussion of the advent of the
boil weevil in this territory, which,
the experts say, will arrive in about
five years or less time.
Those taking part in the discus
sions were Prof. J. O. Williams and
Prof. A. F. Conrad, of Clemson COL

Winthrop college.

lie buildings, rural routes, soil sur
veys and other matters of this kind

rency bill, referring especially to the

tural paper to six months. A fine
tribute was paid by this candidate to
Woodrow Wilson, whom the speaker
declared to be the greatest president
since the davs of Thomas Jefferson.
Mr.. Byrnes told of the income tax
amendment and of his work in caus-
ing the supporters of various good
road measures to unite on one bill,
which he said has passed the house
and is now pending in the senate.
After Mr.. Mixson had addressed
the voters. in five minute reply Mr..
Byrnes made vigorous answer to
some of the claims made by Mr.. Mix
SON.. Both candidates were given
closest attention.
