Anthracnose in County.

County Farm Demonstration J. J.
Heard stated Monday that he had re-
ceived information from different
parts of the county as to the presence
of anthracnose. AS the people gen.
orally are not fully Informed as to
this cotton disease, he stated for the
information of the farmers, that it
first appears as a small brown speck
on the cotton boil. This speck grows
until the boil finally rots and falls
from the stalk. The only remedy,
said Mr.. Heard, that is known at
this time is the planting of seed that
is at least three years old. By
planting old seed, the disease will not
bother cotton. Anthracnose is a
germ disease, and the germs do not
live through the third year in cotton
seed. 1t is suggested that every far
mer who is troubled with the disease
this year had better adopt the plan
of planting old seed, as this is the
only way to combat this enemy.

A Letter From the Border.

Private w. E. Hutto, a former
member of the staff of The Herald
who is now serving with Company
NJ on the Mexican border, writes as
follows,
1--WE all made the trip fine. We
arrived here Saturday night about
eight o'clock, and We were very tired.
We had to work pretty hard Sunday
to get straight, but everything is
Strengthened out now. We had to go
on guard duty the first night we
were here. l was one of the first to
go on. You can bet I kept my eyes
open, too.
1--WE are about two and one-half
miles from THE river. The Mexican
camp is on one side Of the river and
the U. S. camp on the other. We
are right at the foot of mountain.
It is eight miles to the top of it. You
can see the Mexican camp from the
top. ...
:, There are $4,000 Pennsylvania
soldiers out here. Their camp is
four miles long, and that is some
line of tents"

Cotton Opening Fast.

Cotton is reported to be opening
very fast. The very hot weather of
the past few weeks has forced the
mature bolls open, and many farm
ers are now busy with their harvest
ing. Many of the gins of the county
have already started up business,
and considerable cotton is now being
placed upon the market. The pres
ent excellent price for the staple is
causing the majority of farmers to
sell their staple as fast as it is gin
ned out. It is the prevailing opinion
that as long as cotton fetches 13
cents or more per pound when first
picked out, it is always safe to sell;
although it is predicted that there
will be a general holding movement
among the farmers later in the sea-
son. It is hard to say just what the
condition of the cotton crop is, as
there is a wide difference of opinion
among the planters. The old cotton
is generally reported to be very good,
and it seems difficult to say just
what the young cotton will do yet.
The acreage in Bamberg county is
about equally divided between young
and old cotton.

Olar a Growing Place.

The town of Olar is fast rebuild
ing after the fire of a few months
ago which wiped away many of the
buildings in the business part of
town. Olar is a thriving place, and
great volume of business is trans
acted there. The town has several
stores that compare very favorably
with the stores of the large cities.
Olar is situated fourteen miles from
Bamberg, on the S. A. L. railway,
and the people of the town feel that
it has great future ahead of it. The
town is surrounded by fine farm
ing country.

unfortunate wards. He went about
the big job in business-like man
ner, and results have been secured.
Information secured from the rec
ords of the asylum show that the
death rate has been reduced about
40 per cent. This means that where
100 persons died IN one month under
the old regime only 60 are now dy-
ing. The death rate will be further
reduced when the governors pro-
gramme has been carried out. If
Gov. Manning should be kicked out
of the governors Office and repudiat-
ed by the people, the chances are
that the development work at the
asylum would be stopped, but he has
built monument by the work al
ready done. Despite this record for
the care and protection of less for
tunate humanity some of the op-
ponents of the governor have hop
ped on to the asylum record and
would have him damned. The peo-
pie of the State are beginning to un-
derstand the wonderful work at the
asylum and the prediction is made
that it will gain him votes rather
than lose them.
Outlook for Second Race.
A great many of the supporters
of Mr.. Cooper will go to Gov. Man
ming in a second race with Mr..
Blease. Mr.. Cooper has already won
a great many Blease supporters, es-
pecially in the Piedmont section of
the State.
The present campaign has been
comparatively mild. There has been
very few bitter passages of words.
Mr.. Blease has been severe in his
charges against the Manning admin
istration. One of the most serious
charges is that the administration
has been lawless. This is very
thin charge and even the supporters
of Mr.. Blease smile when they hear
it. The blind tigers of the State
know full we'll that Mr.. Manning's
administration has not been lawless.
They to man will vote against him.
The election will be held August
29 and, again the prediction is re-
iterated that Mr. Manning and Mr..
Blease will be the leaders.-Joe
Sparks in the Spartanburg Herald.

Appreciates Good Service.

In speaking of the postoffice yes
terday, prominent citizen of the
town complimented the office very
highly upon it's rapid growth and its
excellent management. He stated
that he had noted the advance the
postoffice has made within the past
three or four years, and said that the
postoffice had gone way ahead OF
everything else in the town, and he
attributed this growth to the good
service that has been given in the
Office under the present administra-
ton. incidentally it may be stated
that this gentleman is one of the
leading patrons of the postofice and
is in position to know whether or
not good service is given.

Time for Haste.

A little 5-year-old McCordsville
miss has a stepfather of whom she il
very fond. One day the stepfather
suffered from a violent headache,
and his wife went to the kitchen to
prepare some domestic remedy. Lii
liam waited quietly for some time for
her mother to return and relieve the
sufferer. Losing patience, she went
to the kitchen door and energetically
called out:
Mama, if you don't hurry up
you're going to have another hus-
band to bury"
