We have heard the candidates for
congress speak on two occasions
since the campaign opened. Not one
time have we heard the opponents of
CONGRESSMAN ByrneS discuss a single
national issue. If these gentlemen
have the ability to make congress-
men, why don't they take a little Of
their time to let the people know
they have it? Instead of trying to
show their own qualifications for Of
fee, they consume their time either
to discussing Congressman Byrnes
or in discussing matters foreign to
the Office of congressman. In thus
camouflaging the issues, they tell the
people no reason why they should
be elected. All they have done is to
tell the people why Congressman
Byrnes should not be elected. On
the other hand, although beset by
charges to answer, Mr.. Bvrnes does
discuss in a most enlightening man
ner the questions of the hour, and he
discusses them as one who knows
the issues. 1t would be nothing short
of folly to put new man into con-

The Herald management regrets
exceedingly it's inability TO- send a
representative to any of the county
campaign meetings so far. 1t was
our intention to attend at least sew
eral of the meetings, but as there
are but two of us left in the office
now, it is simply impossible to get
away on Tuesday, the day set for the
holding of each of the county cam
paign meetings. To attend any OF
the meetings would mean a delay in
getting The Herald out. We have
had but one printer besides ourselves
for some time, and since this one
left US for a better job, it takes ev-
every minute of our time the first
three days of the week to print the
paper. We merely state this by way
of explanation, and We are in no sense
complaining. In fact, We are very
thankful that we have sufficient
knowledge of printing ourselves to
keep going.

POLITICAL ADVERTIsEMENT.
HON. G.. L. TOOLE REPLIES

l have made this campaign for
congress and have defended the
rights of the people and have made
good with the records. The people
will not endorse our present con-
gressman's record, for it is un-
American. The Herald seems to want
to boost Mr. Byrnes and don't say
anything about his platform, what
he mas done or going to do. In ad-
dition to working for pensions for
our Confederate soldiers and their
widows, l have said l would work
for a change in our Rural Credit
laws and change the law so it will
be possible to get some good roads
money for Bamberg county, and also
look out for the farmers interests
in congress. From reports l will
lead in Bamberg county. l desire to
thank the people for their encourage
ment and for what | believe they are
going to do for me on the 9th. Some
of the newspapers are against me,
but the people understand. l have
to pay for this card and am forced
to show it, The other man is prob
ably boosted free. Obediently, .
G.. L. TOOLE.

The Herald considers it free
American right to support for con-
gress or any other Office any man
it sees fit to support. The oppoa-
ents of Congressman Byrnes have
twisted and contorted the "record'
to serve their own ends. The Her
aid has took the twist out of some
of these distortions, and, naturally,
the candidates don't like it. What
we have had to say was said IN the
interest of truth, and we have no
apology to offer for ever telling the
truth. The Herald does not consider
it necessary to further defend Mr..
Byrnes's record. The statement OF
President Wilson, putting the stamp
of o. K. on Byrnes, settles the ques-
tion of Congressman Byrnes's loyalty
once and for all, and as this is the
only charge against Byrnes, there IS
nothing further to be said. If the
three candidates against Byrnes de-
sire to show their patriotism they
will quit the race and leave the field
clear to the incumbent, whom the
president says he regards as one of
the strongest and most dependable
men in the house and whose fidelity
he does not doubt for a moment.

Because Of embarrassment the
president has suffered by reason or
letters written to South Carolina dur
ing this campaign the president some
time ago announced in a letter 70
Mr.. L. D. Jennings that he would not
interfere in local party contests.
However the attacks made upon
Congressman Byrnes by his oppon-
ents have given such genuine regret
to the President that he has sent a
message to the voters of the second
district through Congressman Glass,
of Virginia. Mr. Glass is the chair
man of the Banking and Currency
committee Of the house; he is the
author of the Federal Reserve Bank
Act and also of the Federal Farm
Loan Act MIR. Glass is also the
secretary of the National Democratic
committee, and is regarded as the
mouthpiece of the president in con-
gress. His letter was read by Con-
gresham Byrnes at the campaign
meeting in Aiken, and is as follows:

mittee on Banking and Currency,

1t is indeed gratifying to the many
strong friends OF Congressman
James F. Byrnes in this county to
know Of the magnificent reception he
has met with all over the district IN
his campaign for reelection. In eV-
cry county he has had the crowds
with him at the campaign meetings,
and while all sorts of falsehcods
have been circulated about him, all
indications point to his triumphant
reelection on the first ballot, even
with three opponents in the field
against him. The reason is that the
people have confidence in him, for
thew know that he has been true to
every trust and has ably discharged
his duty as representative OF the
second district. In each campaign
since he was elected the first time
all sorts of charges have been
brought against him, but the voters
have stood by him because they knew
he had been faithful to the trust.
Byrnes has made g fine congressman,
and he has more important commit
tee assignments and more influence
in Washington today than any other
South Carolina congressman except
Lever. The people of the second
district would be very foolish to
make a change at this time and give
up all the advantages Byrnes has
over any new man who might be
elected, no matter how much brains
he has. But, without meaning to be
unkind to any of his opponents, ne
stands head and shoulders above any
of them in congressional ability, and
it would take years for any of them
to reach his present position of in
fluence, even if they ever reached it..
This of all times is not the time
to think of changes in our represen-
tatives. We want man in Wash
ington who is thoroughly familiar
with the duties of congressman, one
who is in touch with the situation,
and no new man, no matter what his
ability, can accomplish very much
until he has been there for several
years. Byrnes has made good, and
we believe the voters of the second
district realize it. Bamberg county's
vote should not be led away by any
false charges. Investigate all charges
for yourself before casting your bal
lot against Byrnes. By the way,
our offer of that one hundred dollars
reward still stands open for any one
to claim who can get written state
ment from the president that Byrnes
has not been loyal to the admins
tration before and since the declara-
ton of war. His enemies say he was
against the draft act, but why don't
they prove it? 1t would be easy to
do so if it were true, but it is not
true and they know it.

GET 1T FROM WILSON.

The Herald wishes to call special
attention to the following dispatch
from Washington:
Washington, Aug. 9.-President
Wilson in a telegram sent today to
Frank P. Glass, of Birmingham, char
acterized Congressman George Hud-
dleston. of the ninth Alabama dis
trict, who is candidate for reelec-
ton, as in every way an opponent
of the administration. Mr.. Huddles-
ton is opposed by Fred NJ. Jackson
and the Rev. A. J. Dickinson. The
Presidents telegram sent in answer
to an inquiry from Mr.. Glass, as to
Congressman Huddleston's record,
follows:
Your message received. l do not
feel at liberty to make any discrlml-
nation between candidates equally
loyal but l think I am justified IN
saving that Mr.. Huddleston's record
proved him in every way an oppon-
ent of the administration.
Now, then, the point is the oppon-
ents of Congressman Byrnes, all three
of them, charge Byrnes with exactly
the same attitude toward the ad-
ministration as Huddleston is charg-
ed with. We defy either or all OF
Congressman Byrnes's opponents to
get a statement from President Will
son that Byrnes is an opponent OF
the administration. The opponents
of Byrnes know the president never
hesitates to take a stand in any elec-
ton when he knows that congress
man is disloyal, and they know that
if Byrnes is disloyal the president
would say So We make the direct
charge that the charge against
Byrnes is the merest drivel, and we
dare his opponents to attempt to
support their position by appealing
to President Wilson. Get your state
ment from Wilson or shut up.

might not be inappropriate, in the
circumstances, to reGuite your devo-

that if lie could do this for YOU, and
stop right there, it would give him
genuine pleasure to attest, in that
way, your loyalty; but the difficulty
he said, arises from the fact that he,
has scores of such requests in be-

with which would involve him un-

GAS ATTACK on LIGHTHOUSE.
Six Overcome at North Carolina
Station.

Washington, Aug. 12.-GaS from
oil discharged on the water by the
German submarine operating off the
Middle Atlantic coast overcame six
men in the coast guard station and
lighthouse on Smiths Island, y. c.,
Saturday evening, the navy depart
ment was advised today by the COM
mandant of the Sixth naval district.
If the gas attack was deliberate,
as most officials believe, it constituted
a new and ingenious form of fright
fulness" and, so far as has been re-
ported, was the first direct effort of
the German raiders to harm persons
or property on the American shores.
The gas was said by the command
ant Of the coast guard station to
have much the same effect as the
mustard gas used by the Germans on
the western front. The men were
laid out for more than half an hour,
but apparently suffered no serious
after effects.
Dstroyer Attacks U-Boat.
The dispatch relating to the gas
attack was one of series concern
ing German submarine warfare off
the Atlantic coast received during
the day by the navy department. One
hr,,o orin
miles east of Virginia coast by an
American destroyer, which discharg-
ed seventeen depth charges where
the raider was seen to submerge. The
result of the attack was not deter
mined, but after oil had appeared on
the surface two bombs were dropped
on the spot and the submarine was
not seen again.
British Steamer Sunk.
Sinking of the British steamer
Penistone, of Abs gross tons, and
the Swedish steamer Sydland, of g.
031 gross tons, in New England wa
ters, near where ten fishing smacks
were destroyed Sunday, was also re-
ported to the navy department dur
ing the day. The former was tor
pedoed Sunday, with the fate of her
crew still undetermined, while the
latter was destroyed by bombs Au
gust s and her crew later rescued by
passing ships.
Still another dispatch said four
survivors of the fishing schooner
Katie Palmer landed at New Bed
ford, Mass, reported they had been
taken aboard the submarine, the
commander of which boasted that he
was equipped to remain in American
waters for six months if he desired.
Big Type Sub.
The submarine was described by
the men as being about 500 feet long,
with a coming tower - feet high,
and mounting one gun. The raider
carried a crew of sixty men, accord
Ing to the survivors, who were held
aboard the submersible for a time
and later set adrift in dory.
While the reports from the COM
mandants of the Smiths Island coast
guard station and Sixth naval dis
trict clearly indicated their firm be-
lief the gas attack on the island was
deliberate, some officers today
thought there was a possibility that
the submarine had discharged the oil
and gas after being wrecked On a
reef.
