THE COOPER VOTE.

Mr.. Robert A. Cooper is clean'
good man. Nobody now doubts or
ever has doubted that fact. Mr..
Cooper has come out squarely for
South Carolina and against Blease-
ism. There is no doubt about his
attitude. The Cooper vote represents
strongly anti-Blease sentiment.
If the supporters of Mr.. Cooper
have hopes of their leader ever be-
coming governor of South Carolina
they must know that that can come
about only by the defeat of Cole l..
Blease for governor this year. Mr..
Cooper is doing his share in the tight
to defeat Blease. His supporters
will be virtually voting for Cooper
when they vote to defeat Blease.
Mr.. Cooper is almost certain to be
in the race for governor at a future
date. His chances for election at
that time will certainly be greatly en-
hanced by every loyal supporter OF
Cooper standing squarely for Blease' S
defeat next Tuesday.

Three Letters.

One day last week The Bamberg
Herald received three very interest
ing letters from two new subscrib-
ers and one old subscriber. These
letters were interesting for two rea-
sons: Each of them contained a
check or money order, and each OF
them contained some very encourag-
ing remarks, which, if we were in
clined to be vain, might have turn
ed our heads" But it didn't, and
they are appreciated, too. Now, we
won't call any names, but just to
show how appreciative our friends
are we. will reproduce the letters
referred to:
"Schofeld, S. C.-Enclosed is
money order for rs cents. Will you
please send me your paper. We
think so much of The Herald we
don't feel like we can do without it.
Wish you all success
"Govan, S. C.-Enclosed find check
for $3.50 for The Herald one year.
We can't do without it any longer"
"Allendale, S: C.-Enclosed you
will find check for my subscription to
The Herald. It is a strong link bind
ing me to my old home and l hope
to receive it's weekly visits as long
as live
Since writing the above, we have
received a fourth letter that is so
good we must pass it on to our read
ers. Here it is:
Enclosed please find check for
$3.50 for one years subscription to

forward to receiving The Herald, for

High Prices For Wool.

Unusually high prices prevail for
wool. The average price paid to pro-
ducers of the United States for un-
washed wool during June was 2S.7
cents, 1874 cents, 1876 cents, 1877
cents, 1916 cents, and 1915 cents re-
spectively, in June Of the last SIX
years.
The average weight of wool per
fleece this year, 692 pounds, is the
heaviest ever recorded in the United
States. Last year the average was
6.S4 pounds, and the averages of the
last ten years is e.74 pounds.
1t is interesting to observe how the
production of wool per sheep has
been steadily increasing in the last
seventy years. The average weight
per fleece reported by the census OF
1910 was 6.S4 pounds, and by each
of the preceding censuses from 1900
to 1910, respectively, the average
weights were 6.66 pounds, 5.ol
pounds, 6.S4 pounds, and the aver
age of the ZAP pounds, and 1.S5
pounds. Similar improvement in
wool production per sheep is observ,
ed in the wool statistics of Australia

TAKES BICLORIDE.

Weeks.

A woman who had registered as
Mrs. N. C. Moore, N. Co. attempt
ed suicide at the Gresham hotel Fri
day by taking bicloride of mercury.
The woman was i'll at the time she
came to the hotel about two weeks
ago, and had been confined to her
room since. Friday morning the ho-
tel manager, accompanied by the
housekeeper, went to her room and
she told them to get doctor, as she
had taken bicloride of mercury. A
physician was called and the woman
was taken to the Columbia hospital
Physicians at the hospital say that
it is impossible to ascertain as yet
whether the drug will be fatal, as it
generally takes at least one week for
any noticeable change to take place
in a patient who has taken it.-The

In 1912, with all the political ma
chinery of the Office holder working
for a second term, Blease was elected
by a majority of only very. few
thousand. In 1914, the former gov
ernor received $1,000 votes. In the
first primary of 1916 he received
about $4,000, a gain of about 5000
votes only. If full vote is cast in
the next primary, it will take about
$4,000 votes to elect, and Blease
would have to make gain Of nine
thousand votes. It is entirely safe
to say that at least ninety per cent.
of the Cooper, Duncan and Des-
Champs vote is anti-Blease. Blease
can never be elected if every anti
Blease vote in the State is voted next
Tuesday. 1t is squarely up to the
supporters of and believers in good
government to get busy and get
every anti-Blease voter to the polls
Tuesday. If this is done, the victory
is won. There can be no doubt about
it whatever.

stands that anybody has complained
of being misrepresented by the York
vile Enquirer, it is mistaken. Our
remarks on this subject had refer
ence to the people who, complaining
of alleged Misrepresentation of them
selves by individuals, come to the
newspaper to have those alleged mis-
representations corrected at the ex-
pense of the newspaper. The York
vile Enquirer never misrepresents
anybody Intentionally; but when it
gives ground, either Intentionally or
unintentionally, for the slightest COM
plant from anybody, it always stands
ready to allow all the space that
could be reasonably desired for a
correction or reply. And of course
never thinks of asking pay for such
space.-Yorkville Enquirer.
The Herald had no reference to the
Enquirer, and did not even have the
Enquirer in mind when the item re,
ferred to was written. We have
never said anybody claimed the En-
quirer misrepresented any one and
we do not believe that it would.

The Ticks Tax.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 5.-The
cattle tick has been in the South ever
since there were cattle for it to feed
upon. It has fattened on the blood
of Southern cattle that should have
gone to the making of beef and milk
and in return it has killed with
splenetic or tick fever the animals
that fed it. 1t has made our cattle
into scrubs and prevented the intro
duction of pure-bred dairy and beef
animals, for in a ticky country no
man is willing to risk his money in
high-priced stock.
The United States department of
agriculture has estimated the annual
loss to the country from the cattle
tick at from s4O,0OO,O00 to $780,
100000. These figures, however,
mean very little, for no man can cal
culate the benefits that will come to
the South with the extinction of this
pest. The essential point is that in
a tick-infested county every cattle
owner is taxed by the tick in proper
ton to the size of his heard. Every
animal is levied on; there are no ex-
ceptions. It is a mistake to imagine
that cattle become immune to the
tick. Every year hundreds of thou
sands of supposedly immune cattle
die from splenetic fever for which the
tick alone is responsible. And each
of those that survives suffers in other
ways. The tick feeds on all cattle
alike, immune and non-immune. It
cuts down the weight and lowers the
quality of beef animals and reduces
the milk flow of dairy herds.
This tick tax has been collected
so long that the people have grown
accustomed to it. That is poor rea-
son for continuing to pay it, however.
Out of 728,543 square miles that
were tick infested in 1906 and placed
under federal quarantine on that &C
count, 2S4,521-considerably more
than ne-third-have since been
freed from the pest and released
from quarantine. What has been
done in these areas can be done
wherever and whenever the people
want it done. There is no more rea-
son why county should suffer from
the tick than from smallpox. A lit
tie trouble-a slight investment
will dispose of both.

HORSE CHESTNUT FLOUR.
Objectionable Materials Being Re.
moved and Food Value Enhanced.

One of the near-foods abundant in
Germany as elsewhere is the horse
chestnut, and chemists and agricul-
turists are reported to have been ac-
lively seeking to adopt this for use
either as fodder for farm stock or as
a substitute for the potato in the hu-
man dietary. AS the nuts are more
than half starch and sugar, with
some protein and fat, the proportion
of nutritive matter is large. The
nuts are made Objectionable as food
by the presence not only of the pc
culiar bitter principle, but also OF
sweetish and irritating saponin-like
glucosids, and the use of this ma
terial depends upon the removal of
these substances. A recent paper by
DR.. H. Serger, of the Brunswick ex-
priment station for conservation in
dustries indicates that this may be
accomplished at cost that is not
prohibitive. The raw nuts are ac-
ceptable to wild game and somewhat
so to cattle, but in swine they pro-
duce digestive disturbances. A mash
from which the bitter taste has been
mostly eliminated by boiling in sew
eral changes of water proves to be
quite generally suitable for feeding
to domestic animals. The slight re-
naming bitter may be removed by
weak potash solution, but the prod
uct does not make palatable bread
even when mixed with three times its
weight of wheat -four, and it is only
when the disagreeable glucosids are
extracted by so per cent. alcohol that
a final product is obtained that can
be ground into flour of good flavor
The expense is kept down by the
cheapness of the wild nuts and the
regeneration and repeated use of the
alcohol.

The fact that Albert S. FAINT is not
a supporter of the former governor
did not become known until just a
few days before the close of the State
campaign. Until that time Mr.. FAINT
was practically unknown to the peo-
pie of the State. Although his per-
sonal views as to the gubernatorial
contest were given only few days
publicity before the election, he re-
ceived a most flattering vote at the
primary, and is in the second race
with Mr.. Cansler. Indeed, had Cans
Ter been listed as Bleasite, as Hamp-
ton was, FAINT would have easily lead
the ticket. AS it stands, we predict
the overwhelming election Of Mr..
FAINT.

The defeat of the present admins
tration can be accomplished only in
one way: Through the apathy of the
supporters of the administration.
There is a preponderance of anti
Blease sentiment in the State. The
Bleaseites are a minority faction.
Their full strength was polled last
Tuesday. That the majority Of voters
in South Carolina are anti-Blease is
clearly shown by the fact that not a
single Blease sympathizer running
for a State office had a ghost of a
chance, where there was opposition.
Large-even decisive-maJorltles
were rolled up against every one of
them.
