WATCHING THE TOWN GROW.
TWENTY-ODD years ago a newspaper man
came to the village of Wllliamaton, S. C., our
native habitat, and sought to make thereof a
thriving metropolis. His slogan was “Watch Wll-
Hamston Grow."
ft
Throughout the weekly paper that he conducted,
he emblazoned In cold 10 point type at the end of
each news Item, so that “all who run may read," this
clarion call to arms: “Watch Wllliamaton Grow."
His local pride complex never had any tendency to
Increase hi* own personal aggressiveness, but week
In and week out, month In and month out—verily, for
a year or more—he chanted the same refrain. Wil
liamston continued to sleep.
Never a suggestion as to bow, why, or when Wll
llamston was to grow, but rather simply “Watch
WHllamston Grow.” The shibboleth became a by
owrd throughout the Piedmont section. A few per
son* of magnified curiosity, sort of hypochondriacs,
actually came to Wllliamston to see it grow. They
looked about for steel uprights and listened eagerly
for the sound of hammer and saw. They went away
with an air of keen disappointment.
It seemed to be the editor's Idea that the very pro
nouncement of such a worthy ambition, If dinned
past the aomnolent minds of the citizenry
and Into their sub-conscious mental cosmos, would
bring his dreams to pass. If he could only bestir the
other fellow, he would have less stirring to do him
self.
Up In Wllliamaton ths good folka are still watch
ing the town grow, or rather waiting for It to grow,
and none has yet come forward with a few dollars
to make It grow. And dollars, judiciously Invested
—correct us If we are wrong—are after all the only
heat that will make the thermometer of progreaa
cllmp upward.
Honestly, and with all slncorlty, we do want to
point out one moral:
Progress does not come from perennially harping
on a subject, but rather through the performance of
some concrete service, and the citizens who render
such service quietly and without a hurrah of trum
pets are generally the town's best assets. Atlanta Is
not a great city because of Its hot air, but In spite

GOOD FALL BUSINESS NOW SEEMS
ASSUED.
NEWS reports received by the Herald from ell
parts of Georgia and South Carolina, and es
pecially from Augusta's Immediate trade ter
ritory, repoit the best crop conditions In years.
Farmers and business men alike are optimistic.
Although It la not too late for continuous rains to
work great harm, yet the leading planters say that
more than half a crop la now assured In spite of the
weather, and If good "seasons'* continue It looks like
a bumper crop will be harvested.
i ______
A cotton crop of nearly 40,000 bales, or double that
of last year, la anticipated by many of the beat
farmers of Burke County, and they report a corn crop
that will virtually make Burke Independent of the
west or adjoining counties. A Herald correspondent
was told last week by both business men and farmers
that the situation was encouraging In every partic
ular.
Jenklna County, which for several years has keenly
felt the ravages of the boll weevil, bringing about
the worst period of depression ever experienced in
that county, Is today more optimistic than at any
lime since the war. In a story on today's front page
of the Herald estimates of a cotton crop of from
8,000 to 11,000 balsa la given, aa compared with less
than 6.000 bales last year. The corn crop there Is
also said to ba the finest in years.
Both Jenklna and Burke are using quite a lot of
poison, and for the first time have general knowl
edge aa to how to beat the boll weevil.
A email farmer in Burke County, visiting Augusta
a few days ago, said he had not made more than two
bales of ootton on his little farm since 1918, but this
year he expects to make at least six, and probably
eight bales. He remarked that he would be able to
do a little shopping In Augusta this fall for the first
lime In several years.
And so the story goes, ad Infinitum. Everybody
is talking good times and there Is a general spirit of
optimism abroad.

Next Election Likely to
Establish New Party
WBY HARRY B. HUNT
ASHINGTON—The presiden
tial election next November 4
may be important, historically, far
beyond any election since the civil
war. It may become a mile-post,
marking a very definite point In
American affairs.
This Importance lies not In the
remotely possible election of Sen
ator La Follette to the presidency.
It lies not in the recognized pos
sibility that the election may be
deadlocked and the choice of a
president thrown into congress.
It docs not even lie In the virtual
certainty that an "independent"
balance of power will be returned in
the new congree*.
The really Important possibility
In the coming election is that it
will place on a secure and perma
nent footing a new national party—
a “third" party sufficiently strong
and aggreslve to sit In at the na
tional political game on terms of
equality with republicans and dem
ocrats.
DESPITE the fact that Senator
La Follette and his followers
have disclaimed the formation
at this time of a new national polit
ical party, running simply as "inde
pendents," In protest against the
platform* and policies of the two
old parties, It Is none the less true
that there Is an underlying hope,
even an expectation, that a new
national party will be born of the
strugglo In the coming campaign.
Although such a new party
might properly be classed as "lib
eral,” with both old parties grouped
under the definition of “conserva
tives," It Is unlikely that any coali
tion between the remaining groups
In the republican and democratic
parties could he effected which
would unite them under a common
head against the new “liberal.”
The result would be that for an
Indefinite period, at least, three
major parties Instead of two would
contest for supremacy In every na
tional election.

THE result of a trl-party, in
stead of a bi-party, system
Introduce difficulties that, If
long continued, might force far
reaching change* In our elective
machinery and legislative processes.
For Instance: Should there be
three strong, permanent parties, it
would be virtually Impossible for
any presidential candidate ever to
obtain a majority In the electoral
college.
This would *orce, ultimately, a
change In the method of electing
the president— possibly direct elec
tions, instead of through the medi
um of electors—since it Is not likely
the country would long stand for
elections being thrown Into con-
B No less a political partisan than
George Lockwood, editor of the
National Republican and former
recretary of the Republican Na
tional committee, declares that a
general overhaulfhg of our political
and legislative machinery must re
sult if third party groups are to
hold a balance of power In con
gress and In national elections.
THE Importance, then, on the
permanent political history of
the United States, of the pres
ent “independent” movement, far
outweighs Its Immediate effect in
the present campaign.
If as its Bupporters maintain, xne
“Independent” movement is not a
La Follette movement primarily,
but finds Its strength In funda

tions Instead of In the personality
and persuasiveness of any one In

Wheeler, of Montana,
Is Really Ohio
Candidate
(fey Charles P. Stewart.)
WASHINGTON. The Progres
sive are not going to be satis
fied with maKing a bid at the
November election for the
trans-Mississippi states alone.
They are going to carry their cam
paign farther ♦ast.
Leader* of the new group have been
quoted as expressing hopes even of
New England. Probably such hopes
are pretty remote. But their hopes
of carrying some states east of the
Mississippi are not remote at all.
For Ohio, in particular, they are
going to make a desperate fight.
That’s the* explanation of their se
lection of Senator Bnrton K. Wheeler
as their vice-presidential candidate.
WHY PICK a Montana candidate
as a means of getting Ohio?—
somebody may ask. Easy
nough.
If they could have drafted Presi
dent Warren S. Stone of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers, who
is an Ohioan, doubtless they would
have taken him. Stone, however, in
the very midst of his work of build
ing up the great Engineers’ bank,
couldn’t see his way clear to drop
ping his tank.
Maybe, after all, Wheeler Is the
better choice. . Stone never has'been
a politiqian. He never has had an op
portunity to show what is in him as a
campaigner; in this respect he might
not have turned out well.
His candidacy, in any event, might
not have been a vote-puller except
among union laborites. Wheeler is a
capable politician, a strenuous cam
paigner, there's no reason to believe
he will drive away any labor votes
and he has an'appeal to other classes
of voters besides.
But as to ohio—
The Progressive* believe the
Daugherty disclosures, Daugh
erty being an Ohio man, have
split Ohio Republicanism wide open.
They think maybe these disclosures
also have disgusted many Democrats
with old-line politics in general.
And who so well able to stir this
feeling up as Senator Burton K.
Wheeler, the first to demand that
Daugherty be investigated, the prose
cutor who, of all others, made the in
vestigation what It was!
Wheeler’s campaign will be made
mainly in Ohio, not in the far west.
Senator LaFollette, head of the
ticket, is a western man himself. He
didn’t so much need another west
erner as his running mate, but that
wasn’t why Wheeler was nominated-
The Progressives stand no chance
of getting such a state as New York.
There was no sense in wasting am
munition by going to the extreme
east for a vice presidential candidate.
But Ohio, a state with a big elec
toral vote, an always more or less
doubtful state, a state with an old
line political scandal already on—
that appealed to them.
In short, Wheeler, though from
Montana, was picked as an Ohio
candidate.
Speaking Public Mind
SAYS CEMETERY GROUNDS
MENACE TO HEALTH.
To The Herald:
There Is one condition existing In
Augusta that is a terrible and dis
graceful reflection on the city au
thorities, especially the board of
health officials, and that is the un
sightly and unhealthy state allowed
to exist in the RollersvlUe cemetery.
If for no other reason than a senti
mental one, there should be some at
tention paid to cleaning up this old
"God's Acre" wherein rest the bones
and dust of men and women whose
memories are sacred to loved ones
living today. The Kollersville ceme
tery some years ago was condemned
by the city authorities and its use aa
a place of Interment discontinued,
but tnat Is no reason why it should be
allowed to be In the dilapidated con
dition with which It is now clothed.
The condition of the old burial
ground with its rank growth of weeds
and underbrush harboring snakes and
other reptiles and being a prolific
breeding ground for mosquitoes and
other insects. Is really a menace to
the health of the people living In this
vicinity, which should by all means
be corrected.
Attention of the city authorities,
and especially of the Augusta Board
of Health t« earnestly Invited to this
condition with the hopes that steps
will be at once taken to abolish It.
Respectfully,

Secret Rebates Likely
Despite New Tax Law
DR CHARLES P. STEWART, i
WASHINGTON. Congress |
aimed at publicity when it
passed the new tax law.
According to national lawmakers
who were Influential In getting the
law through, Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon has taken steps
already to set it at naught.
The law provides a board of ap
peals to handle tax disputes. It 3
proceedings are to be public. The
avowed object of the publicity was
to prevent secret rebates to influ
ential taxpayers.
Previously, not only were such re
bates made secretly, but to give out
any Information concerning them
was an offense punishable by a
prison term.
The Treasury Department is or
ganizing the new board, but at the
same time It has revived an obso
lete board, renamed It the division
of tax review, and announces that
this latter board will hear all tax
appeal cases before they go to the
new body.
They will not reach the latter at
all except upon appeal. If the claim
ants get what they want from the
division of tax review, naturally
they will not appeal.
Only those cases will be appeal-
FARM EXPLOSIVES
Shortly to Be Disposed of
By the Government
WASHINGTON, D. C.—One hun
dred million pounds of explosive,
enough to load a freight train 4u
miles long, is shortly to be made
available to farmers for land clear
ing and to the states and federal gov
ernment for road construction. This
explosive, pyrotol, is to be distributed
by the Bureau of Public Roads of
the 1 nited States department of ag
riculture est the cost of preparation
and shipment. This is a continua
tion ct the work which has been car
ried on for the past three years
whereby the vast supplies of explo
si\es in the possession of the govern
ment at the close of the World War
are' tuing made over to make them
suitable for constructive purposes.
The distribution has already resulted
in saving millions of dollars to the
people of tlie United States.
Pyrctol is composed largely of
ground smokeless powder prepared
by a process perfected by George It.
Bovd of the bureau of public roads.
It is peculiarly adapted for blasting
stumps and for work of similar char
acter. It can be used for all open
air work without causing headaches
or other ill effects and will not stain
the .hands or clothing. It is a low
freezing explosive and can be used
with good results in all ordinary tem
perntuies. The cartridges are of the
same size and shape as the ordinarv
dynamite cartridge. Each box con
tains 50 pounds, about 150 cartridges;
and each cartridge Is approximately
equal in strength to a cartridge of 20
per cent dynamite. It Is safe to handle
providing that the ordinary care exer
cised :n handling dynamite or other
explns’ve is used. It is detonated
by the No. 6 caps commonly used
with commercial dynamites.
LAWS REGULATION
THE DISTRIBUTION.
The laws under whiii these ex
plosives are made available authorize
distribution to the state highway
commissions for use In road-building,
and to farmers for land clearing.
There is no charge for the explosive
itself, but the consumer has to pay

freight charges. These charges are
