THE MULE SPIRIT IN

doing TO you is being done to them
by the very people that are helping
the ones who are doing things to you.
That's why there is such a thing as
the mule spirit in mortals.
The Index Finger of the Mule
Sometimes we reach some very
funny conclusions. Just think how
ambitious a mule is. He kicks and
everybody knows it. The last half of
his anatomy carries a bolt Of light
ming, we'll tell the world 1t seems
that he does his most impressive
stunts backward. And yet he is
mightier than Dempsey or any of his
ilk. If we were to blindfold him and
put him in the ring with most of the
pugilists of today. his index finger in
the rim of his hind feet would show
them something without being trained
a minute.

am frank to say that the cucum-
Der proposition in middle South
Carolina is not good one for an in
creased acreage over normal.
The same conditions were prevail
ent in Florida on cukes, watermelons,
tomatoes and potatoes, and in South
Carolina on potatoes, but the wealth
er conditions inferfered so that the
actual volume shipped was hardly
more than normal, and in some cases
not even normal, and what / had eX-

your shipping season, did not happen,
and really your district is the only
section that has received the brunt of
the effect of over-production.
Florida is getting the same dose
now on watermelons, but l hope that
the watermelon crop in your section
will pull out.
The crop of Florida cantaloupes

Not to Die Says
EdmundBigham

Edmund D. Bigham, under death
sentence for the murder of his broth
er, L. Smiley Bigham, does not eX-
pect to die in the electric chair and
still believes he VIII be freed, he told
the prison officials n never expect to
go to the chair" B:gham declared.
The condemned man lost much OF
his spirit when he was denied a new
trial at Florence last week. He left
the penitentiary to make the trip con-
fident that he will be given another
trial, telling penitentiary officials that
he was certain to get another
chance"
Judge Shipp refused Bigham a new
trial, however, and his attorneys are
appealing to the supreme court from
the ruling of the circuit Judge.

Better Times are Ahead
For Tobacco Growers

More than so warehousemen and
field workers of the Tobacco Growers
Cooperative association from SO mar
keting points of the association in
the South Carolina belt met Tuesday
in Florence, where T. C. Watkins,
director of warehouses, said, Those
towns which support this movement
Of South Carolina tobacco farmers
will reap a rich reward and those
merchants and bankers who have
helped to win new members through
out South Carolina will bring, with
the tobacco and the growers which
come to their towns, new prosper
ity."
DR.. J. Y. Joyner, vice president of
the associa ton; A. T. Breedlove, and
C. B. Cheatham, of the leaf depart
ment, assured the field workers and
warehousemen at Tuesdays meeting
that the campaign for cooperative
tobacco markets markets has been a
phenominal success to date.
Telling how Is per cent. Of grow
ers in the old belt of Virginia and
North Carolina were lined up with
the cooperative movement and that
the entrance of 5000 tobacco far
mers from eastern North Carolina in
to the marketing association during
the past three weeks had developed
into a landslide for the association
to push their present majority sign
up in South Carolina to IS per cent.
Letters will reach 5000 members
of the Tobacco Growers Cooperative
association in this state during the
present week announcing that the
member growers may take their
choice of markets, among which are
the following points: Andrews, Ay-
nor, Bamberg, Conway, Darlington,
Dillon, Georgetown, Hartsville, Hem
ingway, Johnsonville, kingstree,
Lake City, Lake View, Lamar, Latta,
Loris, Lynchburg, Manning, Marion,
Mullins, Nichols, Olanta, Pamplico,
Sumter, Summerville, Timmonsville,
Bladenboro, Cerro Gordo, Fair Bluff,
Fairmont, Lumberton, Proctorville,
Rowland, St. Pauls, Tabor, and
Whiteville.
Geo. ]. Holiday, of Aynor, Horny
county, was present at Tuesdays
meeting and signed up his crop of 90
acres with the organized tobacco
growers, also renting his warehouse
to the association. Mr.. Holiday is
we'll known as a successful merchant
and large farmer in Horny county.
Citizens of Florence have given
land for the erection of cooperative
tobacco warehouse during the COM
inc season. The contract for the sale
of this property to the marketing as
sociation was signed Tuesday and
will make of Florence marketing
center convenient to most of the l.
200 signers of Florence county.

Eleventh-HOur Candidates.
Eleventh. candidates have
rather complicated the situation for
those who, until this morning, had
no opposition. Political aspirants
came today from various parts of the
state. One shudders to think what
might have happened to the aspira-
tions and ambitions of some of these
had their trains been late, or had
they suffered more than one or two
blowouts on the way. In point of
fact, Sam T. Carter, state treasurer,
is the one state officer who did not
draw an opponent, a worthy tribute
to a faithful and worthy official of
the state government.
There was also one withdrawal.
Paul Moore, of Columbia, quit the
race for state superintendent of edu-
cation. In this race, however, are
left six candidates, including two wo-
men, the first of the feminine sex to
offer for state Offices, Mrs. Bessie
Rogers Drake, of Marlboro, and Mrs.

candidates entered the political
arena, E. S. Jackson, of Wagner, and

Candidate Crop
Is Above Par

Columbia, June ia bumper
crop of candidates for state offices
makes a rich harvest this year for
the treasury of the state Democrat tic
Executive committee AS one hat
after another was flung into the ring.
and these fell thick and fast up to y
o'clock today, accompanying the SOM
breros of male candidates and the
millinery of women candidates were
checks of S100 and 5000 denomina-
tions.
"A pretty good days business. re-
marked Edgar A. Brown, the state
chairman who, hailing from Barn
we'll, where he is a candidate for the
Legislature, is incidentally boss of the
works.
Complaint was heard not very
many days ago that this year there
appeared to be little interest in state
politics outside of the gubernatorial
race, but the last days gleanings,
and it was only half day at that
that. brought the biennial crop of
candidates up to something little
more par. Pledges were filed thick
and fast this morning, so thick and
so fast that the entire landscape was
completely changed. Those political
wiseacres who have heretofore predi-
Gated their representations upon the
lineup as previously existing now

creased and are now on parity with
other counties adjacent to Bamberg;
4. A vast amount of timber has been
cut and moved leaving these
previously valuable timber lands
now practically worthless; >.
A great portion OF the
county is composed of swamps, bogs
and low lands that are practically
worthless; 6. Because Bamberg has
has recently annexed considerable
area of Colleton county, whose lands
are admittedly less valuable than
those of Bamberg.
Mr.. Miley called attention to the
fact that census figures are not to be
accepted as accurate Sales figures
are a good index and BAN oerg and
Barnwell counties show little differ
ence in sales prices. The commission
may have made an honest mistake in
fixing the assessment in 1918.
Capt. J. B. Guess had sympathy
with the commission, but said that
this is no time to raise taxes, especl-
ally in a county where farmers can
not pay expenses. Bamberg lands
are not worth more than third the
value of four years ago. We are not
in position to bear any more burden,
he said, and he added that he felt
sure there would be no increase.
]. Wesley Crum, Jr., said that a
correct census now would show less
land valuation than 1910. By taking
an average of the assessments of sur
rounding counties, we would have
an assessment for Bamberg of about
$3.50 per acre, and by taking an av-
erage of land sale prices of these
counties, Bamberg would show up
with an assessment of about the same
as has been enforced heretofore.
There are parts of the county, said
Mr.. Crum, that cannot secure land
loan except from the farm loan board
on account of being classed as coast
al low land. We have already had
greater damage from the boil weevil
than upper counties will ever have,
for statistics show the further south
one travels the greater infestation he
will find. Another reason our lands
should be low assessed is because we
have had two years more of infesta-
ton than the upper counties, and,
therefore, they should be in better
condition, whether they are not. The
people here made about enough cot
ton last year to pay their taxes.
G. w. Goolsby caused laugh by
saying that there had been enough
oratory at the meeting to take off
all the taxes, and that too much terri
tory had been aiken in. What we are
interested in is Bamberg county. The
main point of complaint is, he said,
we simply have not the cash to pay
more taxes.
w. D. Bennett was the last speaker,
and after discussing the question a
few minutes, gave a striking example
of the defation of land values; 400
acres of as good land as there is any
where hereabouts had sold for $500
cash. I'VE can't meet our present
taxes; we haven't the cash. Now is
not a time to raise taxes"
Mr.. Carter thanked the commits
sioners for their consideration in COM
ing to Bamberg to ascertain the situ-
alton here.
It is presumed the commission will
take the matter under advisement and
announce its decision in regard to
resembling the order increasing the
assessment from $3.50 to s6.40 per
acre in the near future.
