Rnt for the kindness of our con-

there was not much Of it left except

the candidates cards and they/are all

Mr. n. B. Dial of Laurens cnal-
lenges Senator McLaurin to a JOINT
debate in each congressional district
on the State warehouse system, That
is that one meeting in each congress
sional district be called and that Mr.
Dial and Mr.. McLaurin discuss the
warehouse system and it's manage
ment. That would be good way TO
have the matter discussed before the
people on its merits and without any
one seeking Office on the system as
an issue.

a letter from a Laurens man in which
he says:
Il never read more exaggerated
account of a picnic in my life. 1t was
really a very small affair and Man
.ning must have been pretty hard up
for somewhere to speak, or else ne
wouldn't have been making that
sparselv settled section. The crowd
was small-much smaller than what
was actually expected, and smaller
than in previous years. You saw what
thew had to say about that ovation,
we'll, if they Gil that an ovation, Il
don't know what an ovation is The
band played for each of the speakers
but that was all they got. Manning
will positively run the poorest third
in the Piedmont section this summer
that ever you thought about. He pos
itiyely won't do anything in this
county
And that is the way it goes. Our
oninion is that we all know very lit
tie about what the result will be.

FOR CANDIDATES

The Herald and News stated some
time ago that we would be forced oc-
casionally to cut the list of candidates
out Of the paper when we were
crowded with ads. We have had only
one small kick. We like all the can
,didates and wish them mighty we'll.
We want to tell them something
more, and that is that they are get
ting their advertising much cheaper
in his county than the candidates III
almost any other county in the State
and in most of the counties the candl-
dates paw Just twice what we charge
in Nevberry. We have printed the
list for some time twice week ana
we do not see just how it will injure
the chances of any one for election
by leaving his n~me out of the paper
occasionally.
We had intended some time ago to
make this announcement, that We
will print the cut of each candidate
from the Office of congress on. down
the line to magistrate and short
sketch of each, if the candidate will
pay the price of the cut and furnish
the sketch. and it must not take over
four or FIVE inches. Now we have
about decided to get out candidate
edition of The Herald and News early
in July. Just after all the announce
ments are in, if the candidates will
furnish the price of cut and the
sketch, and print them all at once in
groups according to Office so that the
people may see what you look like
and who you are and what you want.
# will make a nice section to file
away. Come along, boys, and let US
have YOUR picture and the price OF the
cut at once so that We may know
how many of you appreciate this OF
fer and we may have time to get it
out. We want it complete of all whose
names appear in this paper. Don't
YOU think that a fair proposition?
Now give us your cooperation. We
want always to do the right thing and
give value received.
We must have your picture and the
information during the month of June
if YOU want to be in the picture. OF
course those of you who have cuts al
ready will not need to go to that eX-
pense. Don't W it to the last moment
and then complain if you do not get
in the picture.
We would like to put your face
away in our files and this is an oppor-
tunity to you to have it there at
minimum of cost. Every one from
magistrate up to congress who Will
give US the picture and the price OF
the cut and who has his card in The
Herald and News.

CHANGE PASTURES FREQUENTLY

The following from the Weekly
News Letter, published by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, is we'll
worth reading and needing:
Swine can be raised when they are
confined in limited quarters if the
quarters are kept clean, but they will
do much better and stay in better
health if they have plenty of pas
ture. Divide the pasture into con-
venient areas, 50 that the hogs can
be shifted from one pasture to an
other. This not only provides fresh
pasture, but affords an opportunity
to disinfect the pastures by plowing
and reseeding or exposure to the
sun and weather. Intestinal worms,
which are rather common in swine,
are contracted from feed, water and
ground which have been contami-
mated by the droppings from infected
hogs. Frequent change of pasture
is one Of the best means of reducing
worm infestation to minimum.
Hogs, however, should not be allow
ed to run at large on open range, as
this favors the spread of hog cholera.

WARNING FOR AMERICANS.

Lieut.. Alfred Mohr, late of the Ger
man army, will appear at the Plaza
theatre with his famous German
War Pictures on Monday, May 8th,
and the publiS here gss Hlh Hfrss pe rn E1xsn an
see war pictures that have received
the unanimous endorsement Of both
the press and pulpit. 81 Lieut. MOhr
explains in detail the German mill
tary organization, and his long as
sociation with the German army in
every section Of the globe has
enabled him to bring to the public
the facts regarding the German
army, and the military system that
has been marvel to military author
| tiles.
More than 1000 scenes are flashed
on the screen. There are views Of
the assault in Belgium and France
and Russia, the marching of soldiers
to the front, the German vessels at
Kiel, military review by the Kaiser,
the work OF the Red Cross, aero
planes, etc., the belching of the gi-
gantic guns and mortars, cavalry
charges, machine gun fighting, terri
fic assaults by infantry and many
other scenes made at the front.
In the German War Films" there
is no attempt to exaggerate, nor to
belittle the military organizations of
other nations. In the German War
Films an attempt has been made to
bring before the American public
scenes from the German firing line
and from the second and third line
Iof trenches that give to the individu-
al an opportunity to draw conclusions
as to the military organization that
is a marvel to civilization and which
has astonished military critics.

The clash came over the proposed
adoption Of an ordinance creating

Mr.. Wilson receives seventy dollars
a month and as city engineer fifteen

refused to grant whereupon Mr.. VIII
son resigned from the position OF

they could not hire anyone to take
the engineers job alone at the sal

Just about make one good job, they
sought to have the same man fill all

Wilson from the positions from wficf
he had not resigned an ordinance
was passed creating the office OF
City Manager who would perform all
the duties of clerk, superintendent
of water works, city engineer and
street commissioner. The mayor
took time to consider whether or not
he would approve the ordinance. He
has two weeks to consider his acticn,

favored it. The scenes that Were
witnessed and the language used al
