cipal witness for the prosecution was

RALLY TO STOLL.

The County Record he's heretofore
espoused the cause of no particular
candidate for Congress, personally We
have had our preference and exercised
our right of suffrage in his behalf.
With the first primary over and the
weakest candidates eliminated, The
Record feels that it is its duty to Will
liamsburg county to urge her sons and
daughters to rally to the support OF
their friend and fellow-citizen, PHILIP
H. STOLL, and reelect him to Con-
press. The turnover will be between
Stoll and Gasque. With Mr.. Stolps
lead over his opponent in the trst
urinary, it should be no difficult task
to elect him in the second primary,
but the situation requires that every
voter in Williamsburg go to the polls
and vote Tuesday, September -.

At the Cross Roads.

South Carolina is at the cross roads
just now.
The changes that are coming about
in South Carolina affairs are definite
changes of the most far-reaching
character.
South Carolina is changing from an
"all cotton" state to state of diver
slfed agriculture.
1t is changing from state in which
the marketing of its products has
been by the old haphazard methods
to the modern methods of cooperation.
1t is changing from state with an
antiquated system Of taxation to a
state with a modern system of tax
alton.
1t is changing from commonwealth
Indifferent to education to one deter
mined to step into high company in
that direction by the development OF
its schools and the enforcement OF
compulsory school attendance laws.
It is also changing from state in
which it's people have been isolated
and divided because of bad roads, and
no great bridges to state OF I'M
proved highways and bridges that will
revolutionize living conditions in great
areas.-Spartanburg Herald.

A PROBLEM OF GOVERNMENT.

If the world of workers, dissatiS-
fed with the job, desire to strike, that
is their business. If, having struck,
the striker stands by with big stick to
prevent others from working, that's
everybody's business. When the shop
men in the railway yards and shops
walked out, that was their business.
When they assemble in hundreds,with
poles and big sticks to prevent others
from taking the place left vacant,
that is really war against the gov
ernment.
This is no time for playing to The
galleries. This country is face to face
with a very grave issue. We must
either come under virtual sovietism
or the business of the country must
have the protection of law. At time
like this, when, owing to the building
of good roads and better schools, bus
iness is taxed to the uttermost limit
of its endurance to pay the tax asses
sor, here comes the almost complete
paralysis of transportation and the
consequent interruption of business
and enterprise. When the business
and enterprise of the country crum-
bles to a downfall, who will keep the
institutions aforementioned going?
Will labor unions? They have not ev-
er incorporated. They pay no taxes
Who supports the schools and keeps
up the roads, and pays for the machin-
cry of government? The banks, the
merchants, the manufacturing organl-
cations. They pay most OF it, almost
all of it. We know it is the habit OF
demagogues to lambast capital, cap
italists, merchants, any and everybody
that by lambasting may serve to
arouse the passions and prejudices OF
the uniformed. But you may think
it out for yourself. We know it to
be a fact that there has been the
hardest sort of task upon the mer-
chants and other business interests
of Union during the past Is months
to keep going. In the face OF this
has stood the ever increasing tax bur-
den. Conditions cannot 60 on as here
tofore without resulting in catastro-
phe. When by violence and arbitrary
win, in disregard of law and with
little accountability to law, the strlk-
er quits his job, then stands over 1t
with a stick to brain the man who
attempts to take it, we say it is to be
condemned utterly. Besides, it will
get the working man nowhere. If
he succeeds in carrying out his will
the whole business structure will COL
lapse. When the farmers, the pro-
ducers of the country, and the people
generally begin to realize these fun
da1nental facts, they will demand re-
Iief-and get it.-Union Daily Times.

THE ELECTION

The primary election passed on
quietly in Williamsburg county Tues
day and so far as we have been agble
to Learn, without any gross lrregu-
larity in the election machinery, not
withstanding the fact that for the first
time in the history Of the old state
women were permitted by law to 60
to the polls and vote with the men
who have enjoyed this privilege alone
since time immemorial. The aptness
and understanding displayed by them
in taking advantage of this new privi-
lege seems to be matter Of general
and favorable comment. There were
16O women on the Krgstree club
books ard verv few of that number
failed to appear at the polls Tuesday.
to cast tSeir ballots. There were a
few ballots improperly made out, but
it would Ie unjust t" lay this at the
doors Of our wives and daughters SIM
ply because they are new at the bus
mess. Men have made blunders In
preping their ballots ever since there
has been a ballot, and some OF them
still make these same blunders.
Returns from the various precincts
in the county came in Tuesday night
with unusual promptness, with the
possible exception of three or four,
the results at which have not been
obtainable yet and will not be known
until the vote is officially canvassed
today by the County Executive COM
mittee. The reason is that the tally
sheets were sealed up in the boxes
and sent in by the managers to the
county chairman, who, under the law,
cannot open them until Thursday fol-
lowing the day of election. AS to the
general result, the missing polls will
not materially change the results OF
the election given elsewhere in this
newspaper.

infested fields, credit will be given
to these operations for keeping in
festations down, whereas the feet is
that the weevil was never there from
the beginning. Unless the various
factors that determine production are
carefully guarded, the results report
ed as having been obtained by one
or more of the various operations
have no value whatever.
Correct "Dust Cloud" Important.
Farmers using approved dusting
machines are advised not to depend
on the feed regulator for the amount
of poison per acre. The mechanical
regulators are intended to control the
amount of feed but this must be de-
termined by the dust cloud. An OBJ
serving farmer will soon learn to
recognize a dust cloud of about seven
pounds per acre. Whenever the cloud
is too thin or too thick then the reg
ulator is resorted to for adjustment,
but the notches under the regulator
lever should not be depended on for
correct dust cloud.
A seven-pound cloud gives the cot
ton a sligtly grayish appearance, and
to obtain this the machine should be
operated with the greatest uniformity
possible in order to keep the fan run
ming at a uniform speed. If field
is blotched with white spots after
busting, either it is overdusted, the
machine poorly managed, or the
ground very rough or rocky.
Do not allow any part Of the dust
ing machine to squeak. 1t effects the
output. Oil and grease should not
be spared when needed to keep the
machine running smooth and to main
tain a uniform humming of the fan.
Keep the machine in dry place when
not in use.

Continue the Weevil Fight.

Clemson College, Aug, $50 long
as migration has not set in, con-
tinuation of the program Of frequent
shallow cultivation where practicable
is recommended, and this supplement-
ed by thorough square picking with
cheap labor, said Prof. A. F. Conrad,
entomologist, at the weekly confer
ence today on the boil weevil situa-
ton.
Infestation has generally increased
throughout the state during the past
week, according to reports from the
field men and county agents, but
there is still greet irregularity in
weevil occurrence, square infestation
varying from a very low per cent. to
go to 70 per cent, and in some sections
80 Der cent. or over. When migra-
ton sets in, there will be greater
regularity of infestation.
With the migration period about
upon US, we must realize that we
have about reached the last stage of
the battle, and wherever the proper
dust and machinery are available we
urge its intelligent use IN order to
hold infestation down as much as
possible.
Many people are still being mis-
led by the irregularity of infestation.
Some fields or parts of fields are light
ly infested while others may be very
heavily infested. II therefore certain
operations are carried on lightly
