POLITICAL VIEWS OF
HON. J. J. CANTEY

Summerton, S. c., March 80, 1922
Editor of The Manning Times:
In view of the political campaipn.
which will take place in South Caro-
lima during the coming summer, it
may be of interest to your readers
for me to relate what I saw and
heard on recent trip to Gopher
Prairie. On this trip to Gopher
Prairie, | became acquainted with
various groups of citizens, who were
booming and boosting equally as
many candidates for the Governor
ship of the State. There was one
group of citizens, who were advocat
ing the election of Smith as the next
Governor of the State. 1t appeared
that Smith was born a poor boy, had
no educational opportunities, had
taken up the occupation of farming,
ana knew absolutely nothing about
the economic and political issues
which confronted the people of Co
pher Prairie, but Smith had lived
close to the soil, with his own hands
he had distributed fertilizer, barnyard
and stable manure, and actually car
ned around with him the odor of
stable manure, had made some sue
cess at farming, was one of the boys
ana 10 the manor born, and therefore
me citizens of Gopher Prairie argued
win some degree Of energy chat
smith would make a good Governor
There was another group in Conner
fralrle, who were demanding very vo-
cifcr0uSly the election Of Jones as the
next Governor of the State. It was
true that Jones could neither read nor
write, had never heard of the scicn-
ces OF sociology or political economy.
had made no study of the in,r,cate
question of taxation, had never rcaliz-
ed that men are both social and polu-
zeal animals and have certain inter
ests IN common which perforce thew
must Scive through the instrumental
itty OF the State, but Jones had clipped
the ears of discmbowcled numerous
Gcrmans in No Mans Land, and
therefore the. citizenship of Gopher
ffalric invariably applauded when
ever the name Of Jones was mention
ed in connection with the Governor
ship of the State.
There was yet another group in
'opher Prairie, who were ardent adj
m'rcrs or Richard Roe, who did not
cialm TO be a statesman, seldom read
The daily newspapers, knew nothinr
Of the various uplift movements
which operate under the protection
Of and through the instrumcntality of
the State, but Richard Roe had acol,r-
ed considerable expcrtncss and had
accumulated some wealth in follow
ing after the noble art of castrati, !.
hogs, and therefore the citizenship of
Gopher Prairie asserted with some
degree of reason that if Richard Roe
could so readily become an expert at
ccastrating hogs, there was no intel
llgent reason in the world why Rich
ard Roe should not make an expert
and successful Governor Of the State.
But the most interesting and anus
ing group in Gopher Prairie were
the friends of John Doe. 1t was as
serted with great JOY and delight and
IN very naughty manner, that if
John Doe were elected the next Gov
errnorr of the State, he would pardon
of the prohibition law, and other
criminals, would veto all appropria
tion Acts, discontinue the payment of

Spring Cabbage and Lettuce

Clemson College, Sept. 25.-In or
der to produce headed cabbage very
early in the spring it is necessary TO
sow the seeds in the open ground in
early October, says Prof. C. c. New
man, horticulturist, who gives below
suggestions on growing spring cab
bage.
Transplant the plants to the field
during late December Set the
plants in rows 80 inches apart and
Is inches apart in the row. In trans
planting the entire stem Of the planv
should be covered with soil to prevent
freezing. The Charleston Wakefield
is probably the best variety for early
spring use. The succession is a good
variety to follow the Charleston
Wakefield. In order that ample plants
may be available at transplanting
time in December it is well to make
Two Or three paintings of seed, the
first about the last week in September
and the other two paintings at inter
walls of about ten days.
Lettuce for Winter and Spring.
For spring lettuce it will be neces-
sary to SOW the seeds in frames IN
October. The first planting shouli
be made about the first of October ana
the second about ten days later. The
lettuce plants will become established
before very cold weather and, unless
excessively cold weather occurs, the
plants will not be injured. They may
be transplanted to the field in January
or early February. The Big Boston is
one of the best varieties for this pur-
pose. The Improved Hanson is also
very desirable variety. Both of these
sorts produce large, solid heads of ex.
cellent quality.
For winter use the lettuce seed
should be planted in cold-frames ard
covered with ight canvas during
cold weather in order to keep the
plants growing. Lettuce protected in
this way will produce edible heads
during December and January. In
case Of excessively cold weather the
beds may be covered with heavy cam
vas or glass.

In July Jacmel exported $4,000
pounds of the dried peel valued at

European markets. This amount is
sixteen times greater than the total

Michaelangelo Worked

this income with an assistant. Giotto
himself, called the father of painting
and the producer of many fine mas
terpieces, got from $500 to $11.O0

Historic Bell in Germany
SUCCESSFULLY Repaired

Berlin, Sept. 24.-The huge bell in
the cathedral tower of the former
imperial palace grounds, which
cracked while tolling out the death of
the former empress, will ring again
after a year of silence. Like AM
erica's Liberty Bell, it went mute
because of a rent sustained while
commemorating an historical event.
The great mass of metal has just
undergone welding which marked
the first attempt of it's kind in Ger
man science. The crack measured
500 millimeters in length and required
45 Kilograms of metal to fill it.
1t was estimated that to remove
the bell and transport it to Alpona
or Lubbock, where Germany's only re-
casting works are located, would cost
more than 100000 marks. Further,
sentiment precluded installing a new
bell for one which had done service
since 1471 when it originally graced
the Wilsnack monastery. Conse-
quently, firm undertook to repair it
in it's own tower.
The bell was lowered from it's sup
port to the floor of the tower room
and there subjected to a welding pro-
cess of acetylic oxidizing under a
heat of 1,400 degrees. Experts hold
that it's voice" will recover all of
the old-time clearness when the nee
essary operations of repolishing and
rechasing the metal have been COM
pleted. *
