(E$e pamberg peralb ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. Published Weekly at Bamberg, S. C. totered as second-class matter April 1S91, under Act of March 3, 1879. ~ ""$2.00 PER YEAR. Volume 30. Xo. 11. Thursday, March 17,1921. As President Harding was taking the oath of office a church in Marion. Ohio, was holding a special prayer service for the Divine guidance of the president in the stupendous duties of his office as president of the greatest country n the world. The news dispatches state this was in accordance with the president's wishes, as he is a devout believer in the power of prayer. According to his own statements, Mr. Harding often seeks "wisdom in the seclusion of secret prayer. ' His predecessor, Mr. Wilson, was ^likewise a praying man Both the new president and the retiring president are prominent as churchmen as well as in statesmanship. Mr. Wilson . is a Presbyterian, and Mr. Harding is a Baptist, the first Baptist, by the way, who has ever occupied the whit? house. Richard Carroll, of Columbia, and C. T. Walker, of Augusta, are two truly great negroes. Their greatness is not a thin veneer of popularity among either colored people or white people, though they possess both, but in the principles they stand for. Both of these men believe that the race question must be solved by the negroes and the white people of the souin, wnnuui oiuisiue inlenereuce. They do not believe that political parties, resolutions and denunciatory speeches, such as characterize the remarks of W. D. Chappelle, of Columbia, will \ ever produce the proper friendly relationship between the races. The advice of men of this character is for everybody, white and black, to attend to their own business and treat their fellow man, white or black, right. If this is done, all will be well. Ex-President Wilson doubtless has secured much satisfaction from the success of at least one of his great policies?that regarding Mexico. Years ago Mr. Wilson laid down the policy of watchful waiting in regard to the Mexican problem. Though frequently offended in a manner i that would have gored Roosevelt to sending a war message to congress, Mr. Wilson exercised patience with Mexico. Before Mr. Wilson laid down th? burdens of office, he had the pleasure of seeing, so far as the American people knows, a restoration of peace in Mexico without armed intervention from the United States. Obregon has been inaugurated president of the* republic on the couth, and there is every indication that t he is the man of the hour for that war-ridden country. Friendly relations exist between Moxico and America, and without the war that seemed could not be prevented a few years ago. t The Dotato curina house is an in dustry that is worthy of the patronage of the farmers. It is not very likely that the owners of this concern will realize much interest on their in- I vestment, and we have no idea that ( they expected much interest when they built,the house. The greatest 1 benefit from the concern will come 1 to the farmers who plant potatoes. ' The sweet potato is one of the coun tv's ideal crops. Anybody can grow ; potatoes. The weevils do not eat them, < and no matter what kind of weather } we have there are always plenty of 1 potatoes. The fact that sweet pota- 1 toes can be prepared for market through the curing process makes it one of the most valuable crops that 1 can be grown. The usual banking i system of keeping potatoes makes it i necessary to sell early in the season, 1 whether prices are profitable or not. 1 By curing the potatoes they may be i kept until early summer when prices '< are always high. i Carlisle's Beauty Spot. ] c Visitors to Carlisle school this sum- < mer will see one of the prettiest flov- ^ er gardens in the country. The lot south of the headmaster's residence has been converted from a vacant 1 lot into a veritable bower of flowers. ] The garden has been neatly fenced < with iron railing, and the entire en- i -1 i-.'J ~-re . -v Closure icuu uu mi'j auiai'uvt'i^ < signed and symerrical plots, in which 1 has been planted an almost endless 1 variety of flowers. In the midst of < the garden a neat summer house has 1 been erected, around which trailing 1 vines have been set out. The plants 1 are now just coming up, and in ap few weeks this bids fair to be the 1 most attractive flower garden in Bam- i berg. The garden has been styled t by the cadets the "love nest." < There are about as many rats as < there are people in the United States. -< ^IIIHti!illUlliHlIU(!UIIUUI)UI!li!l!lUl!itlill!i:i;iUi!!lliUi;Ui:i!iili;illli!lll ill!

Five years ago the editors kindly donated me a column in The Herald, for the airing of some personal views. Times change. It seems like only a few months ago since I was writing for this column, yet how many changes have occurred in this brief period. One change that has occurred, so The Herald tells me, ih that the paper does not publish communications wherein personal views are expressed unless the writer signs his name. On the solemn promise, however, that I will not negotiate any "e'ntangling alliances" and further that I will be personally responsible for any statement I make, The Herald publishers have consented for me to have some space. Say, was that not mighty sorry advertising you fellows gave Bamberg the other day? You said that some fellows, bent on a little fun, had gone on the warpath and made things unhealthy for people out on Main street. Now, what's the use of publishing this? According to what you said, what was wrong about it? According to your statement it occurred about midnight. A few shots fired innocently at the sky can't hit anybody unless he was in an airplane, and airplanes should not fly at night. The streets are fairly deserted at night, and very few people could have been killed. , Of course, it was sort of bad about people keeping their stores open late, but what's the matter with people closing up their stores and going home when folks go on the warpath? That's the sensible thing to do. Saw some ladies walking down the street the other day during a rain. Funny now people win insist on wanting around when it rains. They might know they will get their feet wet when they pass water spouts on the sidewalks. Might take newmonia or something and then sue the town for damages, and land knows taxes are high enough as it stands. Some of the owners of buildings on Main street have fixed these pipes, but you must remember times are hard, and doubtless some of these property owners have not the nec- ! essary Change. The right thing for people to do is to stay at home when it rains. Surely there are enough ' sunshiny days for women to shop without picking out the wet days and endangering the town's treasury in any such manner, ______ '-' ' TfW- " * Speaking about how things change. Since I fast filled this column things have changed in Bamberg. Every morning now I hear half a dozen i whistles blowing. That is music to my ears. It shows that the town is growing. And then every night I see the cotton mill running full blast. I'll tell the world that it looks good 7 to me. I don't believe a word of this hard times stuff. In 1914 and 1915 here were hard times. I did not hear many whistles and did not see the mill running at night then. < That reminds me. When there are t many more industries here, the people might object to the whistles. They a do in some towns, you know. Say it j wakes them un about seven o'clock - every morning. Take this sugges- c tion?: The first man that objects to i whistles blowing every morning, or s sixteen times a day, for that matter, just give him a swat on the top story Df his bungalow, and then thank the c Lord that there is something in Bam- f berg that can make a noise besides i ;he grumblers. t S I had a very annoying experience t i;he other day. Fellow came up and I inquired if I knew where he could t rent a house in Bamberg. That is t what I call nerve. Wanted something t for about fifteen or twenty dollars a month. I told him he ought to be ashamed of himself. The very idea ^ 3f renting a house for fifteen or t :wenty dollars a month. We have 1 10 houses in Bamberg for folks who I ;an't pay more than that. What good r ?ould such folks be to our town any- t way? e I A fellow has to laugh sometimes c when he thinks what funny ideas E beople have. Last fall, before the 1 election, lots of farmers would not c sell their cotton because they said t after the election cotton was going b up. It did in their imagination. Cot- a ton was about 2o cents before the *t election. It is 11 cents now. After t :he election, they said just wait un- t :il Mr. Harding ascended the white c louse rostrum and all would be well, d \11 is well (with the boll weevil.) s However, I always try to be an opti- i' nistic cuss. I never have lost any- i :hing by it, and perhaps I have gain- f ?d something. I don't believe any t Republican in the white house Is c rver going to be as good a president ii is a good Democrat, but I likewise n ACCEPTS SECRETARYSHIP. J. Wilson Gibbes Now With Representative Fulmer. Columbia, March 12.?J. Wilson Gibbes, of Columbia, clerk of the house of representatives, announced tonight that he had accepted the secretaryship of Hapipton P. Fulmer, Congressman from the Seventh district. Mr. Gibbes will leave for Washington about April 1. He.will continue in his official position as clerk of the South Carolina House. Mayor Hartzog Reelected. The announcement of the reelection for the fourth term of Mayor A. Sidney Hartzog, of Greenwood, will afford much pleasure to the many friends of this former Bamberg citi zen. In this connection, the following Greenwood dispatch will be read with interest: "In the municipal primary election held here yesterday Mayor A. Sidney Hartzog was reelected over his opponent, Paul B. Ellis, by a vote of 1,2^26 to 661. This makes Mayor Hartzog's fourth term as mayor of Greenwood and the vote yesterday is taken as an indorsement of the work of the mayor and his administration. During his service the town put down much street paving, extending sewer and water lines and now :has in the bank the amount of $200,000 from the sale of a recent bond issue to do considerable more street paving and extend further the sewerage system. Mayor Hartzog was given q,uite an ovation at his home last night by admiring friends. Aldermen J. B. Harris and John Durst, Jr., were reelected by good majorities, Harris receiving the unusual record vote of 430 out of a possible 432 at his home box in Ward 5. Alderman E. W. Stalnaker had no opposition in his ward while Alderman W. H. Yeldell, Jr., declined to offer for reelection in ward 1. Rufus A. May was elected in that ward over two opponents. In ward 6 there was a sharp contest, six candidates offering. There will be a run over there between Alderman J. W. Spearman and S. F. Perry. Meeting of Graham's Chapter. Mrs. W. H. Faust was hostess to the Graham's chapter U. D. C. at their regular meeting March 10th. Delegates to the district convention in Edgefield were elected as follows: Mrs. G. W. Hightower, Mrs. F. V. James; alternates, Miss Carrie Riley, Mrs. Faust. The president read an interesting letter received from one of our members in Iotfa City, Iowa. Plans were discussed for raising money for our educational fund. A committee was appointed to arrange in entertainment and report at our next meeting. Members are reminded that this is the month for payment of annual dues. As our membership has increased considerably a )ur state and general taxes are 'pro portionately greater, and we must ?o to the convention with all dues md pledges paid. The historical programme consist- ( 3d of a study of Charleston and its < lefenses. Interesting papers were < ead by Mts. James and Mrs/J. S. ( < Matthews. J During a pleasant social hour, refreshments were served by the hostess assisted by Mrs. D. N. Cox. The next meeting will be on April . rth with Mrs. C. C. Fanning.?Con- < ributed.

He has started out alLright. Ameri:an folks like to have a voice in afairs in Washington, and Mr. Hardng looks like he is trying to do just hat thing. Another guess I'll make: i ?ome of the Republicans are going to >e very much disappointed with Mr. g larding. They are going to find hat he is not going to run the coun- ry like the plunderbund some of hem would like to have it. 1 a C I was told a column of my junk rould be enough. But I want to ention on? other thing. If the pubishers will pardon me for doing it, would like to recommend that every J eader of The Herald ought to read I he article in March Cosmopolitan * intftled "Do We Lik? to Be Fooled?" n this article Fred C.

Washington, March 12.?Former President Wilson, now a private citizen, is not a hermit in his S. street home. On the contrary, he is riding daily, and has already called at the homes of several senators. TVirtoo nlncoct- + r\ Air* AAT? 1 cr\r* r1o/'>lc>T,0 JL ilUO^ tlUOtiOl IU .>11 . 1 v noun V that after March 4, he felt as if a load had been roiled off his shoulders, and seemed immediately to show signs of physical improvement. Dr. Grayson, holds, it is understood, that the change will be of incalculable benefit to his patient. There is still general discussion in Washington regarding the magnificent manner in which Mr. Wilson conducted himself March 4. There is no question but that his gameness redounded greatly to his credit. He was broken in body, but unbending in spirit. One significant and characteristic remark of Mr. Wilson an that epochal day is not generally known. Senator Knox, always a gentleman, informed the stricken president that a chair in the senate had been provided for his use in the event he cared to view the exercises. "No, thank you, senator," returned Mr. Wilson. I am not very strong on my legs." And then with a merry smile, he continued: "The senate fell down on me, you recall, and I would prefer nnt tn fall Hnu'n nn thp senate " Senator Lodge was almost rude in his delivery of a message to the president, and this accounted for the splendid manner in which the chief executive howled him over. When Lodge entered the president's room, Mr. Wilson was engaged in conversation. Without asking pardon, or otherwise attracting his attention, Lodge said simply that the senate wranted to know if Mr. Wilson had anything further to communicate. "I thank you for your courtesy," Wilson, said pointedly, freezingly, and with palpable significance stated. "Please tell the senate that icance. "Please tell the senate that I have nothing else to communicate." And then after a second's pause, during which his eyes held those of Lodge enthralled, Mr. Wilson curtly remarked: "Good morning, sir." The former president, it is understood has not undertaken literary work as yet. It is not believed that he will ever practice law although he may be a consulting attorney, associated with Bainbridge Colby, on matters involving fine questions of international law.
