Some of our exchanges seem to be
worried because of the relatively few
women who have enrolled to vote in
the Democratic primaries this sum-
mer. There is nothing to be alarm
ed about. The Herald stated its be-
lief before women were given the
ballot that only a small percentage
of South Carolina women had any
desire to vote 1t may be stated as
fact that of those enrolled there is
included a large percentage of those
who did not wish the ballot, but are
going to vote for patriotic reasons.
1t is now a duty for the women to
vote, but it is a new duty that has
been thrust upon them, as we'll as a
novel duty. 1t will take several elec-
tions before the women will enroll
and register as do the men, but it will
come in due time. And with their
voting will come purer and better
politics in South Carolina.

Ballet Among Soap Bubbles.

Beautiful scenes are common in
motion picture studios, and many me-
ohanical effects are produced which
fairly dazzle the eye Of the onlooker.
AS a climax to an unusually gorgeous
"set" director recently called for
dance in the midst of soap bubbles.
Accordingly, since space 20 by 40
feet had been designated to be filled
with the frothy substance, a metal
sieve of this size was fitted in the
floor. A soap solution, made with
200 barrels of the product and mixed
in the same manner as plasterers pre-
pare lime, was piped to the porous
floor, and steam forced through it.
The immediate transition into bub-
bles began, and these soon rose to a
huge scintilating mass, in which the
dancers performed, the whole pre-
senting, according to illustration and
description in the Popular Mechanics
Ma gazine, a scene of fairy like splen-
dor.

could be clear and lucid in private
conversation. When speaking in pub
lie he strove to be eloquent and when
eloquent he was not entirely lucid,
though he was one of the two men
who got the better of Bourke Cock
ran, the most eloquent man congress
has known the past half Of CEN
tury. The other man who trimmed
the brilliant Irishman was Swager
Sherley, of Kentucky.
1t was when the financial panic"
of 1898 was at it's worst that Walker
proposed to spend the surplus. Here
was his argument:
'This government is just begin
ming to grow. Half century hence
a presidential cabinet will consist of
at least 20 secretaries of as many de-
partments Today land is cheaper
than it will ever be again. The wage
of labor is smaller than it will ever
be again. The cost Of building ma
terial is cheaper than it will ever be
again. In this town we are paying
out enormous sums for rent of Off
ces to house the government contin-
gents. The thing to do is to con-
denim and purchase every foot of
ground south of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. between the Capitol and the
white house and between the avenue
and the Mall and erect grand and
beautiful and capacious buildings
to house the government. 1t will
save many millions"
He was right, the hard-headed bus
mess man he was. The enterprise
he favored and that some day will
be adopted would cost five times as
muoht now as it would have cost
then.
Strength to young Joe Walkers
arm. He is as courageous and as nom
est as his dad. 1 doubt if he has his
dads sagacity. Lodge would rather
by beaten 20 times by patriclan
than by this son Of plebian, grand
a man as that old plebian certainly
was. There are tidings that there will
be heap of unrest in Massachusetts,.

The Herald has always supported
any movement for the advancement
and betterment of the people, and it
expects to continue to do 50. When
the boil weevil came, we Joined in
with anything that seemed to hold
promise for the farmers. Many Of
these movements, it seems now, do
not give much promise Of prosperity
to this county In fact, we are just
about convinced that our people will
have to stick to cotton, whether they
want to or not. OF course, there is
tobacco. 1t is staple crop, and
should be considered worthy of keep
ing up. Truck may be all right, but
it has proven disastrous so far. 1t
looks like now the best bet for the
Bamberg county farmer is to make
cotton in spite of the boil weevil. 1t
can be done. 1t is done elsewhere.
1t is the one crop that our people
know how to- handle.

Tolbert denies that he has accept
ed any money from any applicant
whom he has recommended for ap-
pointment to Office. If he will make
this statement in the form Of a'sworn
affidavit the chances are, that a
charge of perjury will be preferred
against him in the courts. Well
warrant that some of his appolntees
will not make an affidavit that they
have not paid for their Offices.

There is over $4,000 in unpaid
taxes on the county treasurer's books.
Treasurer Jennings has a notice in
this issue of The Herald giving de-
linquent tax payers fair warning that
on September first all unpaid taxes
will be turned over to the sheriff in
executions. From what The Herald
hears, it seems certain that these de-
linquent taxpayers are decidedly less
able to pay their taxes now than at
the usual time, last winter. The
state legislature was we'll meaning
in granting this extension, but we
have never been able to follow the
legislatures reasoning that people
would be more able to pay taxes in
July or August than in December to
March.

In Ohio they tell story of man
who brought for entrance there a
student, his son for whom he wished
a shorter course than the regular one.
'tMy boy can never take all that in
said he. ''He wants to get through
quicker. Can you arrange it?'
"Oh, yes,'' said the president. He
can take a short course; it all de-
pends on what you want to make of
him. When God wants to make an
oak he takes a hundred years, but
He takes only two months to make
a squash"

Wanted-A Name.

Wanted-a name for the baby;
That sweet little mite of a miss,
With pink hands and feet, and puck
ering lips sweet
Held up for a fond parents kiss.
Rosie, or Josie, or Mary;
Or Margaret, Lilly, or May;
Priscilla or Prue-does any suit you?
We've just got to name her today.
Wanted-A name for the baby
That's nesting there fast asleep;
A precious wee mite on her pillow of

God gave us to guard and to keep.
Annie, or Carrie, or Hazel;
Or Annabel, Oral, or 10;
Annette or Sue-does any suit you?
We've just got to name her, you

That little pink image of love
That came with the year with a mes
sage of cheer.

Well Just call her "Sister," I guess.

If Joseph Henry Walker had been
gifted with clearness of statement
and lucidity of expression he would
have writ his name on the congress
sional roll. His defeat was partly
due to the want of academic educa-
ton; but mostly it was chargeable
to the vigor and enthusiasm of his
nature. He was much like that 9TH
er old Yankee, Israel Putnam, just
as fearless, just as audacious, just
as impetuous.
He urged that congress expend the
entire surplus in the treasury-over
$500, 900, ,000-for public buildings
and grounds. He and l had cussins
match over it and l charged that his
desire to squander the surplus was to
deprive the Democrats of most con-
vincing argument to support reform
of the robber tariff He retOrted that
I was a fool, also reprobate, and
then he eXpounded his plan. He

SEA, 100000 IS LOSS TO NATION
IN COAL AND RAIL
STRIKES
Twin Tieups Costly to Both Sides,
Figures Show.

Washington, July 2o-The twin
coal and rail strikes to date have
caused loss OF 533,ooo,ooo to indus
try generally and the figures grow
hourly, according to best estimates
made today by government stats
ticians.
Railway workmen and coal miners
on strike lost in the aggregate ST.
100000 day in wages. The total
loss 10 date in both coal and rail
strikes in point of wages is $Io3,-
100000.
The loss TO coal operators, figur-
ing an average of ST ton for
bituminous coal that would have
been mined during the 10 weeks OF
the strike. is approximately S24o,-
100000 The total weekly loss i'll
coal production. both bituminous and
anthracite, is averaged at 100000
tons.
The number OF men on strike in
the twin t;eups is between 100000
and 100000. OF these 100000 are
miners. and rail workers.
1t was pointed out by govern
ment off cial today that the public
will suffer the most, inasmuch as
the public will be caught coming
and going II the strike continues,
the public will suffer from lack of
facilities to move necessities and
from lack OF one OF the necessities.
When the strikes end, the public
will have TO foot the bill--as freight
