Thursday, May 25,1922. A few years ago it was a rare thing for a white man to ever approach the death house at the state penitentiary. There are now a half dozen or more white men awaiting electrocution at the penitentiary. Anybody who thinks there will not be a generous crop of boll weevils this year ought to have seen a batch of the pests exhibited to The Herald one day last week by J. E. Spann, picked from a small patch of cotton on his farm. There were something like two hundred of them, gathered 1?~ - 1 3 oKmif tTur\ I Dy coioreu ciiuuicu num auvu?. ?.*?v acres, we believe. Tbey were in all stages of existence, from the grub to the full grown weevil, and they were quite healthy specimens. The law was thoroughly vindicated in Columbia lastiweek when the trail and conviction of the three alleged murderers of young Arnette were completed within ten days after the commission of the crime. That Is, the law was vindicated so far as the circuit court is concerned. To our mind this trial has created a more i?Ani+>,TT fnr + v>o la-ar than anv IOO|/VVV AV* ? trial in this state in many years. Technicalities were swept aside, and * the business of the court went forward with dispatch. The Yorkville Enquirer has no congratulations to offer Governor Cooper upon his appointment to the . farm loan board. The Enquirer says that it was purely a mercenary ? -i*--a it. in nnn oa.1o?.*t on/* anair, max me ?xv,wv oaia: j, ouu . ; not patriotism, was the controlling factor in the governor's acceptance and resignation as governor, and wonders why such a man was ever elected to the governorship. The Enquirer further says that the job did not come to the governor unsought; that he went after it and landed it. There are some who still persist in the belief that there is nothing in truck growing, tobacco growing, etc. While these men, well meaning no doubt are bemoaning the loss of their pet crop, cotton, the truck growers are selling their produce and getting real money for it?not as much as they would like to get, to be sure, nevertheless they are receiving cash money with which to carry on their farming operations, pay their bills with, and buy necessaries for the home and farm, and this is more than the cotton mourners are getting. The Herald knows whereof it speaks, for it is getting a little of the truck money in accounts due, subscription renewals, advertising stimulation, ote. It Was Good. "'Was that sleeping potion I recommended you any good?" asked Brown of his friend Jones. "Good," replied Jones. "I should say it was. Listen here! I took it as you suggested, and went to sleep soon , after retiring. Then a friend with his head under his arm came along, and \ asked me if I wanted to buy his feet. I I was bargaining with him when the dragon on which I was riding slipped ' his skin, and left me floating in mid air. "While I was considering how I should get*down, a bull with two heads peered over the edge of a wall, and said he would haul me up if I would first climb up and fix a windlass for him. So as I was sliding down the mountain the conductoi came in, and I asked him when the .train would reach my station. " 'We passed our station 200 years ago,' he answered, calmly folding the train up and slipping it in his vest pocket. At this moment I woke up and found that I had been asleep ten minutes."

You, Sam, are much older than your wife. It is a case of May married to December. A slight pause, and then Eva, the wife, was heard, to remark in a tired voice: ''I?I really doan' know what you means by yer saying May is married to December. If yer goin' to talk that way, it seems to me to be a case of Labor Day married to a Day of Rest." Women in Mexico, to lay claim tc beauty, must possess a low, narrow forehead. Ehrhardt Memorial Address By W. D. Bennett. The war could not have been avoided, for the issue of slavery was destined to disrupt the union and could not have been settled in any other j way than by the arbitrament of the j sword unless perhaps the statesmen ! of both north and south had foreseen the conflict 35 or 40 years before and had shaped events so as to have forestalled it. The north was much to blame for its precipitation, for they used slave labor as long as it was ! profitable and sold their slaves to the J south and then began the agitation to free them. That they should have been freed, nobody with brains will ! now deny, but had it not been for the fanaticism of the abolitionists at the north of the Charles Summer and Thad Stevens type and the hotI headed secessionists of our own section, a settlement might have been made ^ipon a basis that would have* been fair to our slave holders and satisfactory to all interests concerned. This whole bloody tragedy was the lack of understanding, partly the fault of slow transportation; we had few railroads, which retarded communication and the intermingling of the people of these two great sec* tions of our country. Then, too, God is all-wise and punishes sin?the curse and sin of slavery must be and was atoned for by tne sneaamg 01 rivers of blood, and yet more rivers of tears and having passed througn the fiery ordeal we have emerged a far greater and .more glorious people than ever before. The flower of southern manhood shed their blood upon the hills of Virginia and the plains of the west, and for what? It was patriotism, love of home and country, for Yankee soldiers had set their invading feet upon southern soil and had killed southern men and ravished southern women, and we fought to expel their vandal hordes. Never in history has greater luster been shed upon any cause man we see ui tuc| deeds and valor of our soldiers and the great genius of Lee and Jackson and Johnston. We turn the pages of history hut find the equal of these matchless men nowhere recorded, save possibly in the life of the little Corsican, Napoleon Bonaparte, the fomenter and central figure of the French revolution. In my opinion he was the greatest military genius the world has ever known. Lee and Jackson were in his class. These great and good men, skilled in the art of war, backed up by the best soldiers that ever answered a country's call, lost and why? For the same rea son that Napoleon lost the battle or Waterloo to Wellington, Lee lost the battle of Gettysburg to Meade, a man of mediocre talent, IMvine ordination. | In all history there is nothing so I grand as the charge of that immortal and glorious divison of Pickett's men at Gettysburg, but those brave men were mowed down by Meade's cannon like wheat under the blade of the ; scythe. All this lends glory to the cause and will be an inspiration to the present and to all future generations. For the deeds of bravery and daring the southern soldier stands without a peer?and is entitled to all the veneration, homage, and respect that we can pay to his memory by eulogy and by heaping flowers on his grave by loving and tender hands. He deserves and has the plaudits of a grateful country for whom he showed such a full measure of devotion; he may have been misguided, but a more daring and courageous soldier the world has never seen; he did the full measure of his duty as he saw it and has - --v - Ayear ago? 1 almost unknown j Toda) /? a leader A sweeping verdic do apology to make for having don it. We fought a glorious and manl fight and lost as might have been e? pected, for slavery was the cornei stone of the southern Confederac which sought to perpetuate an inst tution that would have kept the fel ters of serfdom on the wrists of neai ly one-half of the entire people c the south and a merciful, kind, ber eficent Providence intervened, an Lee lost to Meade at Gettysburg a a result of God's disfavor, as did th \TAr?/\1/\/\*i t/\ YtTnll irkio-f /\n of \X7 c gicai i^apuicuu iu iiciiju3kuu ui m terloo sixtv-odd years before. It is well for us to get the lessor taught by Grant's red-throated car non around Richmond and Peters burg and shed our Sunday clothe and don overalls and grapple lik men with the problems before ui for it is alone by honest labor an earnest endeavor that a people ca ever become truly great. We hav been too much wont to look dow from Empyrean heights and exclaii to common humanity that there ar none others like us beneath the sui and with turgid talk swell up wit the vanity and pomposity of the pes cock. The curse of slavery was ou greatest weakness, and the war di us good in one other way, for it tor the fetters of caste and custom froi the whites which was an evil as grea as slavery itself. This was a noble emancipation than the one by whic Lincoln removed the fetters from tn wrists of southern negroes. Lincol by this proclamation freed almos one-half of our. population but th result that flowed out of this blood conflict freed more of our white pec pie than Lincoln freed of negroes. In this mad tempest of battle th new south?now no longer In sece: sion and rebelion, but a part of ou glorious union and ;loyal to the cor ?was born, the crash of arms wa the groans of maternity, this delug of blood wa? her baptismal rite. From the ashes of desolate home and ruined cities she sprang up Pho< nix-like and now mounts to greate heights and a more glorious future Lincoln's proclamation was a rail bow of promise that never agaii while the world stands or the heai ens 'endure, shall north and sout meet in battle shock?the greatnes of one section shall become the con mon heritage of the other. That w should have suffered the pains of r< construction was to have been e: pected; in many cases unnecessary severe; partly due to the fact thj the north misunderstood us and ou blacks, even as we persist in misui derstanding many of the well meai ing "Yankees."

Pursuant to recommendation of the Bamberg County Grand Jury, the landowners of the county cultivating lands adjacent and adjoining publio roads are hereby urgently requested not to plow into or allow their hands to plow into the roads. Landowner* are requested to plant two or three rows of crops adjacent to roads parallel with the road, so that there may be proper turning space without the necessity of turning plows in the roads. It is against the law to al low plows to damage the roads* and it is an unnecessary practice. The county spends large sums of money in road building, and the Tnada hpione to the Deople. I have > no desire to prosecute anybody, but I must insist tbat this practice be stopped immediately. The farmers and tenants can cooperate in this respect, and there should be no necessity to bring action against anybody. Pull notice is being given before I take such action. W. B. SMOAK, Supervisor.
