Sixty-five per cent OF the factories that at one
time engaged in the manufacture OF buggies have
entered other fields OF industry. But in spite OF the
craze the automobile has produced it is stated that
within the past year or two there has been an
increase in the manufacture OF buggies Whether
these bugges being sold in the United States
is not known and the chances that the demand
is not on the increase here. But evidently the in
crease has been caused by the export demand Mex
leo is getting its head somewhat above war and
civil strife and that country provides vast market
Tor the factories OF this country. 1t is quite likely
that the Mexican market takes OF many OF the

Porter Cleans Up Local Team to the
Tune Of 16 to 5.

The Carlisle base ball boys jour-
neyed to Charleston on Saturday and
engaged the Porter Military academy.
The boys returned with broken rec
ord, as Porter literally walloped
them, the final score. being 16 to 5
in Charleston's favor.
This was the first reverse of the
season for the Carlisle aggregation
Previously Carlisle had defeated Dar-
lington in two games and Batesburg
in two games, Orangeburg in one
game, and also an off-game with Den
mark.
Mcleod started out for the Car
Isle team but was benched after the
opening inning had been made.
Fairey held the Porter boys we'll af-
ter that. He walked two men and
famed three. Sanders hurled fine
game for Porter, not extending him
self because of the commanding lead.

BANKRUPT CASE HEARD.
Compromise Offered to Creditors by
D. A. Reid, of Bamberg.

A meeting of the creditors of D. A.
Reid, of Bamberg, who was recently
adjudged bankrupt, was held at the
office of Pelham L. Fielder, Jr., ref
cree, in Orangeburg Monday. Attor-
neys representing Mr.. Reid and his
creditors we're present, and the bank
rupt was examined. Mr.. Reid testi-
fed that he considered the value of
his assets about $4,000, while claims
against him aggregate about the same
sum.
S. G.. Ray was appointed trustee,
and he was authorized to take an in
ventory of the stock and convert the
assets into cash. A compromise was
offered by Mr.. Reid to pay his cred
itors 25 per cent. of their claims The
offer was taken under advisement,
but it was stated in Bamberg yester-

jected by a majority of the creditors.

NO SECOND ELECTION.
Plurality Vote Elects in Municipal
Election Next Tuesday.

An interesting question in regard
to the municipal election next Tues
day is whether or not there will be
a second election in the event one
candidate for mayor and six for al
dermen do not receive majority Of
the votes cast. The city attorney has
given it as his opinion that there will
be no second election, and that plu-
rality vote will elect next Tuesday.
Isasmuch as there are five prom
inent gentlemen in the race for may
or, it is not at all unlikely that none
of the candidates will receive ma
jority of the votes cast, and in this
event the candidate receiving the
highest vote will be declared elected
mayor. In like manner, the six candi-
dates receiving the highest vote for
aldermen will be elected.
The question has occasioned con-
siderable discussion, and the city at
torney, E. H. Henderson, looked up
the law at the requestxof some of the
candidates.

ONE COMMISSIONER.
There is Only One Vacancy on the
Public Works Commission.

The Herald desires to call atten-
tion to an error in the advertisement
of last week calling the city elec-
ton. The notice stated that three
commissioners of public works would
be elected. It should have stated
one commissioner would be elected.
The mistake was the result of the
entire board resigning last year, at
which time the city council elected
for the unexpired terms. Only one
commissioners term expires at the
present time, that of Mr.. Dickinson.
Messrs. Rentz and Hays hold their
office for some time to come. 1t will
be good news to the people of the
town to know that Mr.. Dickinson has
consented to accept the office again
if elected, and inasmuch as he has
no opposition, his election is assured.

THREE PRESIDENTS
ASK AID FOR CHINA
Harding, Wilson and Taft Appeal
to Americans to Help Stricken
Millions of Sister Republic.

The President and two ex-Presidents
OF the United States have joined, for
the first time in the history of the
country, In an appeal for a phllan-
thropic enterprise. President Hard NJ,
ex-Presldent Wilson and exPpSident
Taft are all in the forefront of the
movement TO send aid from America to
the famine victims of China.
One of Pres dent Harding's first Off
cial acts after his inauguration, taken
when he had been in the White House
less than two weeks, was to renew the
appeal made by his predecessor in be-
half of Americas sister republic In the
East. President Hard ng said in part
''At this, the earliest practicable mo-
ment In my administration, ! desire to
add my own to the many appeals
which have been issued heretofore in
behalf OF the starving people of large
sect on Of China
"The picture of Chinas distress Is
so tragic that am moved, therefore,
TO renew the appeal heretofore made
and to express the hope that the Amer
lean people will continue to contribute
10 this humanitarian cause as gener-
ously as they possibly can"
In apo nting the American commit
tee for China Famine Fund, with his
own immediate predecessor In the
White House, ex-President Taft, as
one of the members, and Thomas w.
/ Lamont of New York as chairman,
President Wilson said In his procla-
/ nation:
Not only in the name Of humanity,
but in that Of the friendlineSs which
we feel for great people in distress,
i / venture to ask that our cit zens shall,
even though the task of giving Is not
| today light one, respond as they can
to this distant but appealing cry for
/ helm"

BURBANK MADE OWN FORTUNE
started With Ten Potatoes and No
Money--Remarksbls Work With
Young Prune Trees.

In 1865 Burbank came to California.
He sold all but ten of his stock Of
potatoes for Sl2J. lie finally reached
Santa Rosa with less than dollar tn
his pocket, but with the precious ten
potatoes. Here, after years OF strug.
gle, he finally secured few acres OF
land for nursery and for expert
mental work in plant breeding.
JUST one incident of those days will
Illustrate his persistency and resource
fulness A fruit grower wanted 1000
Young prune trees to be delivered
within ten months. None were In the
market and the nurserymen all said
1t was impossible to produce them In
so short time Not so Burbank lie
promptly accepted the order. As the
season was far advanced, lie planted
almonds in sand, supplied them with
Just the right moisture and kept them
covered with cloth TO maintain nm even
temperature, AS the tiny sprouts 0p-
peared they were transplanted in the
nursery.
He then secured from nearby prnne
orchards thousands Of prune buds and
as soon as the small almond buds
were old enough the prune buds were
hudded into them. In less than seven
months the order was filed and the
seemingly impossible had been accom-.
plished. II. Chamberlain In
