tpamherg peralb ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. Published Weekly at Bamberg, S. C. Entered as second-ciass matter April 1891, under Act of March 3, 1879. $2.00 PER YEAR. Volume XXXI, Number 50. Thursday, Dec. 14,1922 We do not think under present conditions a big road bond issue would solve the road problem in South Carolina. Bonds are far more readily issued than repaid. As a matter of fact, South Carolina is making fairly good progress with iher roads, and no heavy debts are being placed on posterity for the next several generations to pay for them. With proper management, and the aid of the federal government, any county in ; the state can work out a splendid road building programme. All this talk about the K. K. K. running the negroes out of the south is largely buncombe. There is no < K. K. K. in Bamberg county, and 1 this county has witnessed as great migration of negroes to the north as any county in the state in ail probability. The plain reason is, speak- 1 ing generally, the negroes are seeking to better their condition. The :holl weevil has well-nigh put thousands of them on starvation. The remedy is in the land-owners seeking means of taking care of their labor in such manner as they can feed and clothe themselves comfortably until better times arrive. ^ ?? .Much is being said about the prisoners in the state penitentiary. The opinion seems to prevail among some of our people that the penitentiary ought to be a parlor, and seem ? to overlook the fact that the penitentiary was instituted for the purpose of punishment, at least in some measure. While we do not believe in 'brutality or persecution, we are most certainly not opposed to good old fashioned hard labor and plenty of it v in our prisons. If the state prison were placed on the footing some of the reformers would have it, there would be very little punishment, and the prisoners might as well be sent back home to take their punishment with their families. The State newspaper in discussing the progress of the boll weevit states that nine counties in South Carolina, Aiken, Allendale, Barnwell, Beaufort, Berkeley, Colleton, Dorchester, Hampton and Jasper, produced more cotton this year than last year. The State failed to include Bamberg county. The gunners' report to November ' 14 shows that to that date Bamberg county had ginned this year 5,544 bales of cotton; and to t'he same date last year 3,816, an increase of almost 50 per cent. This is a most significant fact in discussing the boll weevil. It will be recalled that Bamberg county has produced as * high as 35,000 bales in a singleTyear, and that the pre-weevil average was above 25,000 bales per year. The present year was as unfavorable as perhaps any cotton year in the history of Bamberg county. Added to weevil damage was the enormous damage by rain during the fruiting season. The figures indicate clearly that Bamberg county lhas passed through its worst weevil period; that henceforth the production of cotton here may reasonably be expected to greaduallv increase as the methods of weevil control become more prevalent. Many of our farmers are emerging from the dark period already. The Herald has told of numbers of instances in this county where a fair production of cotton was realized this year, and there * x 3 - J are many tnat we nave not recorueu. The Herald is satisfied if there had ; not been so many confusing methods of weevil control broadcasted the production of cotton this year would have been greater. Denmark Dots.
