HARDING NAMES POsTMAsTERs.
Administrations Policy Probably
VIII Be Announced Soon.

Washington, April 27.-The first
nominations Of postmasters to be
made by President Harding were sent
to the Senate today, leading to re-
ports that the administrations pol
in regard to appointment Of post
masters generally would probably be
announced soon. The list contained
the names Of eighty-four. all Of whom,
according to a statement issued at
the White House, had made the high
est mark in a competitive civil ser
vice examination, except where the
veterans preference statute operates.
Congressional leaders and their un-
derstanding was that the nominees
had not only qualified under the civil
service requirements but were &C.
ceptable to party leaders in their re-
spective districts, and that no delay
was anticipated in their confirmation

DON'T PLOW THE ROADS.

We would dislike seeing anybody
prosecuted for allowing plows to be
dragged into the roads of this coun-
ty, and yet the practice is per-
sisted in, such prosecutions ought to
be instigated. The county is spend
ing vast sums of money to provide
the public with roads, and we can't
conceive of any reasons why the roads
should not be respected. The super
visor suggests that all fields adjacent
to roads should have two or three
rows running parallel with the road,
By doing this the plows Will not
drag in the roads, and turning space
is allowed without loss of land. we
trust there will be no reason for the
officials to have to again call atten-
tion to this detrimental practice.

MAIN STREET.

Whoever your choice may have
been for mayor and aldermen in the
election Tuesday, we believe the vast
majority of the citizens of Bamberg
are united on one question: Main
street stands as a monument to the
old city administration. You may not
have approved the method of paving
the street, you may not approve OF
the manner of laying the concrete, or
YOU NAV not have approved of some
other phases of this construction
work, but you can't help but approve
of the fact that the street is paved
and the old city council has the full
and Just credit of paving it. When one
thinks of the Main street of two
years ago, feeling of thanks ought
to pervade his or her being that there
is no longer mud and slush and foul
odors emanating from our business
thoroughfare.

AN EDITORIAL.

The Herald has always believed
that brevity is the soul of wit. The
old adage tells us so, and we nave
had it proven to our satisfaction.
And we are going to write good
editorial about it, too; as good as
we can write. You may not agree
with us, but it is good just the same.
Our good friend, H. G. Copeland, OF
Ehrhardt, received bill for his sub
scription-that is we suppose he did.
And he did not get mad-and this
is a point to consider, when we tell
you subscriptions are in advance. He

if that is not a mastery piece OF
literature. It's a gem, and we just
can't decide which was the sweetest,
the comment or the check. But why
should we rack our editorial brain
about it? We got both, and both are
deeply appreciated. We would just
like to call over some names down at
Ehrhardt who are friends worth hav-
ing, but they are so many we are
afraid we would drown in the at
tempt. You just can't pick out a
few names from so many. But you
know one of them.

WANT ROAD THROUGH SWAMP.
Citizens Hope Arrangement Will be
Made to Go Through EdistO.

AS is generally known to the read
ers of The Herald, Orangeburg coun-
ty is now engaged in the construction
of link of the Colum mbia-Savannah
highway from Orangeburg to the
Edisto river swamp. Bamberg COM
pleted it's link of highway from
Buford's bridge to the Bamberg edge
of the Edisto swamp last year This
however, leaves no roadway through
the swamp, distance of perhaps two
miles, following the present roadway.
A responsible citizen of Cope is au-
thority for the statement that the
Orangeburg county authorities held
up the work in the swamp because of
the fact that Bamberg has made no
provision for the completion of it's end
of the causeway, and for the further
reason that in order to build bridge
across the river it will be necessary
to effect two-county arrangement.
The survey of the highway COM
mission, which is being followed by
all counties on this highway, calls
for crossing Edisto river at a point
below the present crossing, in order
that the road may be Strengthened out
and the elimination of much of the
causeway that is necessary in fol-
lowing the present road line. The
new road intersects, it is understood,
with the Bamberg road at the cross
ing of the canal BY following this
route Bamberg county will have COM
paratively little causeway to build.
Citizens of both counties who travel
this road are very anxious that steps
be taken at once to complete the road
through the swamp, so that when the
Orangeburg work is completed there
will be a straight highway through
to Orangeburg and points north. The
argument is put forward that mas
much as Bamberg's portion of this
work is so small, compared with Or
angeburg's, that arrangements should
be made at once. According to the
Cope citizen, who had taken the mat
ter up with the Orangeburg road au-
thorities, Orangeburg will proceed
with this work as soon as Bamberg
cooperates.
1t is also understood that several
land owners below the present cause
way stand ready to lend the county
material assistance through the river
swamp if the flow of the canal is
changed so that river lands will not
be flooded during heavy rains as is
the case now, which causes great loss
to crops, and which can be eliminated,
it is believed, at no very great ex-
pense.

CANADIANS ELECTRIFY SEED
New Process Believed to Greatly
Increase Productivity.

Increase Productivity.
ALBERTA, July 30.-Fields planted
with electrified seed grain are being
carefully watched in southern Alberta
this summer.
A plant for the treatment Of seed by
this electric process was established at
Carmanugay. 1t was taxed to its full
capacity and will be enlarged immedi.
ately. The electrificaiion of seed, it is
claimed, will increase the harvest yield,
eliminate the germs Of fungoid maladies,
and improve the quality of the grain.
The process consists in placing the
seed in bath containing metallic salt
such as calcium or sodium chloride and
weakly electrifying the liquid. After the
electric current has played over the
grain certain fixed time, the solution
is drained off and the seed dried.
The object Of the salt, il is said, is
no, only to decrease the resistance of
the seed coat but to maintain conduc.
tivi,y during the period of generation.
Calcium and sodium chloride in correct
proportions, it is declared. stimulate
growth and give strength to the new
roots.
The new process has created wide.
spread interest among farmers in this
part of Western Canada and many of
the largest wheat growers of the region.
which is heavy grain producer, have
sowed hundreds of acres this year with
electrified seed.
