called upon to "speak his little piece" he
had disappeared, and the chairman of the

The Eclipse in Bamberg.
Our people took a lively interest in the
eclipse last Monday morning, and man}'
viewed the strange sight through smoked
glass. It was not total here, and while
at no time did the sun cease shining, it
became very dim, and inside of buildings
it became almost dark. The cotton mill
turned on the electric lights in order to
keep running. The eclipse produced a
rather weird effect on the shadows,
something like electric lights.
Painful Accident.
Last Saturday, little Ruth, the sevenyear-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A.
Byrd, had the misfortune to break her
right arm at the wrist. She had gon? up
stairs in the barn to open a door fo^ Mr.
Geo. Quattlebaum, who was hauliag in
some oats. The door was tight, sad she
pushed so hard that when it came open
she fell out. The force of her fall was
broken somewhat by Mr. Quattlebaum
catching her, but it was sufficient to break
both bones in her wrist. The broken
bones were reset by Dr. Bronson, and the
little sufferer is doing very well.
Mrs. ?. J. BolanU.
Mrs. E. J. Boland, a daughter of Rev,
and Mrs. 11. B. Tarrant, died last Sunday
at Springfield in Orangeburg county. The
body was buried at the Springfield "cemetery.
The deceased lady was twentyfour
years old, and leaves a husband and
two small children. Her death resulted
from lock-jaw, which was caused by run
ning a nail into her foot.

SCDftiur xnityutriu uu it urm
Editor The Bamberg Herald:?As
the time for harvesting is at hand, I
thought it might be of interest to your
readers to say a few words about the
preparation of the land which is to be
sown to wheat, oats, or rye this fall.
Now is the time to fertilize the lands
economically for next crops. On the
lands sown in small grain, when the grain
is cut, sow in peas, using one bushel to the
acre. If, however, we are short on peas,
I have found the best way is to start four
Dixitf Boys on the same lands. Put children
to drop the peas in the first furrow,
and if acid is to be had, let it be sown in
the same furrow, using about two hundred
pounds per acre. The other plowk
cover and break the land. This method
leaves the land ready for sweeps to be
run between the rows. Drop the peas
about eight to twelve inches apart, five to
six in a hill. This enables one to plant
an acre with a peck of seed, and, by
plowing once, the yield will be exceedingly
good, both of peas and vines. But
I prefer to sow broadcast and scatter the
acid and plow in, and follow with a brush
to smooth the land. By drilling peas in
the water furrow of the corn rows, fertilizing
with acid and plowing with the
com, the last plowing of the corn sow
broadcast and sweep in, a good crop will
usually be had. Sometimes, however,
the sun is so hot and the land so dry that
a good catch cannot be had; in such
cases the row planted in the water furrow
gives considerable fertilizing. If, in
the com land when the peas are broadcasted,
one hundred to two hundred
pounds of acid or ash element is used, a
fine crop of peas will be grown. On all
lauds to be put in wheat or oats next fall,
be sure and sow peas, plow under the
. vines and a fine crop of volunteer peas
will come up next spring. I have several
wheat patches on which a good stand of
volunteer peas are now growing. As
soon as the grain is cut these vines will
grow off vigorously and produce a crop
of peas or hay, and, fertilizing the land,
will go on without the expenditure of
labor on my part. By the way, I have
seen it stated that no pea picker has ever
been invented which will gather peas
successfully. This is a mistake. Ever)'
. farmer who has a mowing machine and
t hay rake has "a first-class up-to-date pea
. picker" in the hay rake. Just wait until
' the frosts have killed the vines, then
l while the dew is on drive the rake down
the corn rows, (gather the corn first).
. When the sun has dried out the peas so
s that they shatter too much, knock off
until next morning. This machine is a
success. The writer has tried it. At
first I was a "doubting Thomas," but a
, trial dispelled all doubts. Try it farmers,
r also fertilizing now with peas for the
f grain crop. Where I so fertilized my
. wheat crop promises to yield twelve to
I fifteen bushels or more per acre; where I
' did not fertilize with peas, but planted
after cotton, the yield will be less by a
third.
L I write this at this time so as to call the
attention of farmers to the great value of
r peas as a renovating crop, and encourage
* the fertilizing of every field for the crops
i to be planted this fall and next year,

Shot from Ambush.
Tuesday night of last week Messrs. A.
B. Amaker and James Porter were fired
upon, by parties unknown, at the home
of the latter. They returned the fire, but
do not know with what effect.
The trouble occurred in Elizabeth township,
not far from the scene of the recent
tragedy in which James A. Jeffcoat was
shot to death, and near the place where
the home of B. Lee Jeffcoat was riddled
with bullets one night last year.
It appears from the facts as related by
Mr. Amaker that some unknown party or
parties went to his house Tuesday night
and fired into it, shattering the window
panes and riddling the building. It is
further said they afterwards went underneath
the house and fired upward through
the floor, barely missing the bed on which
Mr. Amaker's wife lay in terror, afraid to
rise lest she receive a flying shot. The
fusilade ended and the parties left without
further damage having been done.
Mr. Amaker savs he was over at Mr. Porter's
house, and that they were standing
out in the yard talking when they were
fired upon. Mr. Amaker was wounded in
the arm with number 2 shot, and Mr.
Porter was peppered in the face with a
mfxed load. They returned the fire, and
their assailants, after firing other shots,
retreated. Mr. Porter received a pistol
ball in his right hand, which was extracted
by physicians here Wednesday.
It is fortunate that no one was killed.
There may yet be more bloodshed in
that part of the county, as bad blood ex
ists Detween several parues wuu go auucu
all the time, and $11 of them are plucky
and fearless. It is to be hoped, however,
that peace may prevail against violence.?

Summer School for White
Teachers,
Office of
County Superintendent Education,
Bamberg County,
Bamberg, S. C., May 23d, 1900.
Pursuant to instructions from State
Superintendent of Education John J.
McMahan, the summer school for the
white teachers of Bamberg county will
be held in the city of Bamberg, (possibly
at the Carlisle Fitting School) commencing
on Monday, July 16th, and continuing
until Saturday, August 11th. The instructors
will be: J. Arthur Wiggins,
principal of the Denmark graded school,
and S. W. Reeves, now at Cornell University.
The courses will be arithmetic,
algebra, history, geography, and English.
I earnestly desire that Bamberg's summer
school this year be a great success.
To this end I want the co-operation of
every teacher in the county. Last year
the attendance was not near so large as
it should have been, and I hope ana expect
to see every white teacher of the
county present every day this year. It is
useless for the State to throw away
money to provide these schools unless
the teachers will appreciate them enough
to attend. I feel sure the hospitable citizens
of Bamberg will assist in entertaining
those who attend the school.

County Supt. Education.
