 When real estate is quiet it is an exceptionally good time to buy. Acquire only what is good. Study it's val ue and decide on the merits, not on somebody's say-so and cheery prevarication. Hold on to what you get, and use it, develop it, stay with it. Fix your mind on values, not prices. Is 1t worth the price asked? If you believe it then stop thinking of prices after you have bought, and think only of how to develop and use the real value you saw in it when you bought it. If you can't trust your own judgment, get expert advice, but use somebody's judgment and don't just spend because others are spending, or because some body tempts you with sugary talk.
 More care for vaIues-re- member this, that any price is too high if it is above the value of what you think you want. Any price is too high if it is for something you do not need and cannot use to advantage. Any price is too high if to spend it means merely to add to your "ex- cessive waste of living"

RUNNING WILD

The national family has been running wild. It has plunged into debt by living far beyond it's means. The family can avert insolvency only by cutting down its overhead expenditures and adopting habits of thrift and economy on the part of it's individual members.
 Local and federal taxes have been skyrocketed as a result of war activities.
 Nearly every human effort that was formerly met by the individual has been foist- ed upon the taxpayer.
 The federal government must be brought to earth and a couple of billions cut from the budget.
 Every state government must retrench. This is easier

said than done, when the pressure of officialism is all for expansion. But every western state could pare off a million or two from it's fix ed charges.
 The war is over and every producer and employee can not be paid on a war time basis of profit.
 Taxation has reached the point where it is the great est hindrance to investment and development of indus try.
 Next to the duty of the individual man, woman and child to save and accumu- late, is the duty of lawmak- CTS to stop the ascending scale of public expenditure, curb the demands of self ex- banding oficialism, and re- duce the fixed charges of government which have be- come exorbitant and indus. trially paralyzing- and pro- hibitory.

MORE CONSIDERATION OF VAL UES NEEDED BY PURCHASERS

spectators and investors is
 that speculators think of
 prices while investors think
 of values. The speculatOr
 is not much interested in the
 values behind a commodity
 or property in which he pro-
 poses to trade; his chief in-
 terest is in how much he can
 get out of the public, out of
 a purchaser or purchasers
 whom he can induce through his own cleverness to take
 his stuff off his hands at Q
 profit to himself. What luck the purchaser has after that does not concern the specu- lator; his interest is in a quick turn at a profit, or, if it is a long shot, his interest consists in getting other peo- pie to play his game while he sits back and waits.
 The successful men, the men who have built up the great industries and busi- nesses and services in this country, the men who have built up the greatpermanent fortunes, have generally been investors rather than speculatQrs. These men have generally devoted them selves in large degree to de- velopment work, to building up their properties and per forming some service to so- ciety while holding a posi- tion by which they expect to profit from the general i'm provement in values.
 The investor may properly deal in stocks or in wheat; it all depends on what amount of study he gives to his subject, that is, whether he studies the properties un- derlying the stocks and the basic principles of wheat marketing or merely studies the weaknesses of the pub lie and plays upon them. Motive and method largely determine whether a man is to be classed as a speculator CT as an investor.
 Students of what is com- monly called the high cost of living have come more and more to the conclusion that this is a misnomer; the real answer is that there is, first, 1 an exaggerated demand; second, an arbitrary price fixed without reference to cost or fair profit but only | with reference to the guili- bility of the public; and third, that the public is not as careful as it should be to study and consider values, real values, as opposed to prices and fictitious values.
 Prices do not reflect val ues. This is a universal condition, true in a measure in all localities, perhaps some what less true now than it has been since the armistice until now. Prices tend now to approximate values, that is to say, something like the old disposition to fix prices on a basis of cost and fair profit, or on the basis of earning power, becomes dis :ernible. The movement to- ward normality is slow, and while this return to sanity is reflected in some commod- ties and lines of business, in

 as exaggerated demand con-
 tinues, so long as arbitrary
 prices are paid by the public
 without effectual protest, so
 long as the public does not
 devote itself to a study of
 real values, so long as the
 public continues to absorb
 anything offered at any price
 however infated-th pro- cesses of economic law will continue to be hindered and the readjustment deferred.
 More care for real values; this should be kept before the public constantly as an ideal. Solid, worthy busi- nesses have nothing to fear from the rigid application of value weighing by the con- suming public. Only those taking an unfair and dispro- portionate return have req son to fear a return to sanity.
 When people buy only what is intrinsically good and worth the price charged there will be rough waters for the too greedy men of business. When people be- gin to limit their spending for things of ephemeral na- ture and devote more of their earnings to acquiring things they can hold on to and use and to continue to there will. be less com plaint of the Thigh cost of living" and a good deal contentment in the world.
 Not the "high cost" of living but the excessive of living, is what is ailing the world.
 Owners of what is intrin- sically valuable do not need to worry about fiuctuating prices. Stocks and bonds often go up and down, but only in a minority of cases do these fluctuations repre- sent any genuine change in the underlying values back of those stocks and bonds. } speculator watches only the price. An investor will study the properties and the earnings. Often the best 'ime to'buy is when some body else is selling, and the pest time to sell is when somebody else is selling. An investor familiar with the underlying values can. judge 'f these things with a degree 'f intelligence.
 Take real estate for ex- lmple. In boom times the :rowd rushes to buy. The is influenced by crowd psychology, not by calm judgment. Prices go up out If all reason. People that ,ay boom prices must un- Oad on the boom or they will hold the bag after the excitement is over. The an- wer is that careful exami- lation of values, real values, hould precede any land pur- hase.
 City real estate is the anne. Now and then in a ertain section a boom will tart and gain great head 7ay. Lots change hands 7ith great frequency, men epin to trade in e0l1ities ar

When The Herald made the state
ment that persons had been omitted
in the official taking of the census IN
Bamberg, no reflection was meant, OF
course on the census taker. We have
no doubt but that the work was done
conscientiously; nevertheless, The
Herald sees no reason for changing its
opinion that omissions were made.
The census taker was not a resident
of Bamberg, and it is easily concelv-
able that one not familiar with the
town could easily overlook residents
without any intention of doing the
town an injustice. For the sake OF
getting the figures accurate beyond
any question of doubt, there should
be a revision. The writer was not IN
Bamberg ten years ago, and the state
ments made heretofore were based on
information given him by citizens
who were here and who The Herald
believes to be reliable.

know what the outcome will be. we,
naturally, would like to see the Dem
ocratic ticket elected. When the NOM
nations we're made by the conven-
tions. it was our opinion that the
country was strongly Republican. 1t
NAV still be so, but if it were posi-
BILE for any man to be elected this
wear. we believe Cox will win. He
has conducted a wonderful campaign,
clean and clear-cut. He started out
for the league of nations, and he has
wound up his campaign for the
league. There is no doubt of where
he stands. No one knows where the
Republican nominee stands on the
league of nations. He first says ne
is for it, and then he changes his
mind and is "agin' it. His last ut
terances indicate, we believe, that ne
favors some sort of association of ma
tions. This expression is no doubt
brought ABOUT DeCduSe Ho Aoo11No'
that the American people are not go
ing to scrap the league, and it may
materially aid in his election. But
that the tide has been running against
the Rep ublican ticket for the past few
weeks there is little room for doubt.
Whether it has been to such an ex-
tent as to elect Cox remains to be
seen. 1t appears certain, however,
rooard1ess of whether Cox or Hard
ing is elected, the league of nations
will be ratified by the United States,
and that under whatever name, his
tory will record Woodrow Wilson as
the father of the league.

Those who are laying bets on the
presidential election had better not
take too much stock in the straw BAL
lot bulletins posted up in various
places, which are giving Harding ev-
erything except the south, and some
of that. For example, in 1915, the
Republicans claimed everything in
sight, including California, which
they said would go Republican by
a quarter million votes. This forecast
was based large on the fact that in
the California primaries preceding
the 1916 election, 3Q7,793 Republl-
can votes were cast, against 1880
Democratic votes. But when the bal
lots were counted in the general elec-
ton, Woodrow Wilson had received
a majority of $500 The straw bal
loting now going on in the drug stores
and in the Literary Digest put the
California vote about in the same pro-
portion.

The experiences of one Peter NC
Mahon, of Yonkers, N. Y, related on
the first page of The Herald todas',
form a striking example Of what a
fine thing it is to attend to your own
business. According to the news
papers, he deserted his own wife and
children in Yonkers to come down to
Aiken to meddle in somebody else S
business. The result is, according to
the news stories of the affair, he is
nursing a very sore back. We suspect
he will be a more exemplary citizen
and family head at home hereafter.

Although the price of peanuts is
very disappointing to the numerous
planters in Bamberg county, the crop
will nevertheless prove a very help
full one, we believe. What the county
must have to combat the weevil is a
variety of crops on which to depend.
It seems almost if not quite certain
that cotton will never again be the
dependable crop it has been in the
past. The boil weevil makes it an un-
certain product. With favorable sea-
sons, it is likely that frequent pron-
table crops of cotton may be grown,
but there is an element Of uncertain
ty that makes all-cotton big rlsk.
Even though big profits may not be
made from peanuts, they are good
thing to fall back on if cotton fails,
as it has done this year. If the price
is not good, as the price of peanuts
this year has turned out, then the
crop can be turned into pork and not
lost. Cotton can be used for nothing
but to sell. The Herald sincerely
trusts that the farmers will not be-
come discouraged over peanuts. The
Herald claims a small share in the
promotion of this crop, and we have
not altered our belief in peanuts as
one of the county's crops-not the
crop, but one of them.

The very apparent need of cotton
warehouse in Bamberg has been felt
the present season. The trouble is,
it seems, in good times there is no
need of a warehouse and in time OF
great need there is no time to build
one. Let the people Of Bamberg get
together now and build proper ware
house facilities for storage of cotton,
so that when occasion arises in the
future the farmers will be provided
for. We understand that it is not
so very difficult to secure advances
on cotton when the cotton is proper
ly stored in warehouses.
