Thursday, April 1,1920. THE H. C. L. ' There must be something radical ly wrong with the system of getting the farmer's products to the eonsumer. Take, for instance, the very commonplace, but to many palates delectable, cabbage. A few days ago gtev . i cabbage was selling from truck farms in Florida for 65 cents per hamper. jj's.'The price had previously been $1 per hamper, but there had been a drop in the market. A hamper contains S'fe-'-;-. about one bushel, and weighs perhaps thirty-five pounds. Therefore the price of cabbage on the farm was :>bout two cents a pound. Cabbage *was selling in Bamberg Tuesday for Il2 ,1-2 cents a pound. Two or three weeks ago, before the drop in the J?}orida market, cabbage sold here sK* jfor about ten cents a pound. The Brice on the truck farm is around two cents a pound and the price to the consumer is from 10 to 12 1-2 V , i * cents. We don't know who is reliap* .sponsible for it, or whether any body is responsible, but we do know that 1 five or six hundred per cent, above i production price.is certainly unreast-' t i JgjjfS-. onable. $, LAW VS. LYNCHING. ! A striking argument without words against lynching is seen in the recent Abbeville affair in which two young p . girls were victims of criminal as| sault. Two young men, who were v x thought to be the guilty parties, were ' arrested, and would probably have been summarily dealt with had no; the officers promptly carried tnem to the penitentiary so as to be safe from " mob attack. The next day\it devel: v oped that a terrible mistake had been made; that the young men were en tirely innocent of the affair. The right men were -pprehended and are if awaiting .trial at a special term of court. Suppose an angry mob had got its hands on the two young men ~ " first arrested, w&n excitement was at a white heat. Does anybody doubt , . the outcome of it? Two men would . have gone to their death in direful disgrace who, it later developed, had nothing whatever to do with the crime. Their arrest was the result of a misunderstanding of a name. As awful as the crime was, if these men had had a violent laid upon them, a i more awful crime would have been |pip committed. If" MONEY IN THE SUMMER. To the average business man in ;<> A Bhmberg?and most other towns in ^ v,. this section?the summer time is a ft iA nightmare. It is necessary to make enough money in the winter time to keep going during the summer, and when the winter's business is not r "* ' "* y * * * good, as it so very often is in cotton Ss?v v. 1 ' counties, the business men are hard & \ hit for three or four months in the summer, when hardly a Bamberg business house makes anything more than expenses, if that much. If the Bamberg tobacco market is established, and there app^rs to be no doubt of it, this condition will very largely be relieved. The tobacco selling season opens from the 10th to 15th of July?the slowest time of the year in this town?and from then on there is great activity in business rf where there is a good market. Now the thing for Bamberg is for J ?* " ? A- ?? -3 11 -X ?~ everyDoay 10 pun ana -pun siruu& iui the local tobacco market. Money flows at tobacco markets in July.and August like it does in cotton towns / ! ' in the fall of the year. Let everybody boost the Bamberg tobacco market. Work, for it, talk for it, make it the best market Jn South Carolina. If Bamberg is a good market tobacco will flow here from all over the state. The town is going forward. Let's keep that nightmare away from the summer time. THE HERALD. i Perhaps the editorial column is j not the right place to talk shop, but j we merely desire to make a statement j or two. The Herald is sent to its1 subscribers for $2.00 a year. The I pre-war price was $1.50 a year and too cheap at that. Before the war j i our paper cost us $2.65 per 100: pounds. Today the price fluctuates j at from $7.50 to $12.00 per 100 ' pounds. The paper this issue is print-: ed on cost us $10.00 per 100 pounds.! Before the war printers were paid j $15 to $20 a week. Today printers j are paid $40 to $50 a week and can't | ? - ! be had at that price. The increase; in cost of production of this news-! paper has been anywhere from 100 to 300 per cent. The increase in subscription price has been 33 1-3 per cent. It is possible to maintain this price only because of a considerable increase in the volume of advertising. We will keep the subscription price at $2.00 if it is possible to do so. The only purpose in making this statement is to let our friends know just what a bargain they are getting. Bargains are scarce these days. Better hang on to the one you are sure of. ^ mi ? He Knew the Signs. Daughter?"Oh, father, how grand it is to be alive! The world is too good for anything.

Baltimore, March 27.?The suit of Mrs. Catherine Bristol, of Philadelphia, in Atlanta against John Keiley, is the aftermath of a tragedy in Baltimore last November. Miss Lucille I Sharp died on November 23 last, after drinking what was believed to have been brandy in the Keiley apartment in Eutaw Place. Mrs. Bristol drank some of the liquid and for nearly t\to months lingered between life and death at Johns Hopkins hospital. She finally was able to le&ve the hospital, but is blind. The death of Miss Sharp, an Atlanta girl, and the blinding of Mrs. Bris-! tol caused a stir. The women, with Keilev and Allie Osman. a young j Turk, were occupying an apartment j at the Eutaw Place address. Osman j and Miss Sharp had been in New] York city the wreek prior to her death j and had purchased several quarts ofj alleged brandy. It was later discov-| ered that the brandy contained a j large percentage of wood alcohol. Mrs. Bristol, a former friend of Keiley, had come down from Phila-; delphia the Saturday night before! Miss Sharp's death. Keiley and Osman were held in jail ( ^ ? ? ? ?? l J 1 vn'r* Kri/1 rr 1 ior several ua^s>. .uisa ouai ^ o uuuj was sent to Winston-Salem, N.
