Country newspapers have many faults,
make numerous mistakes ami leave many
good things undone. But if you will fob j
low them closely you will be struck with
the unanimity in which they stand by
their respective communities and their
constant loyalty to home enterprises.
They preach the doctrine of good citizenship
and fair play in all tilings and generally
earn much more than they get pay
for.

The Grain Louse.
As the ravages of the Hessian fly or
grain louse were so bad in this section,
J. P. Matheuy, Esq., wrote to Clemson
College for information, and the following
is the reply of the Eutomologist:
Clemson College, S. C., March 1G, 1903.
Mr. J. P. Matheuy, Bamberg, S. C.
Dear Sir.?Yours of the 14th iust., addressed
to the Experiment Station relative
to the work of a small insect upon
oats has been referred to me. From
specimens received from correspondents
in Bamberg and adjoining counties, you
must be suffering like them from the
ravages of the grain louse. This insect
obtains its food by inserting a pointed
beak into the leaf or stem and sucking
out the sap, which causes the grain to
shrivel.
I don't feel as though I can recommend
at this season of the year any practical
remedy although it has' been demonstrated
by experiment that on very young
wheat and oats, it is possible to keep
them within bouuds by spraying with a
strong decoction of tobacco or by the use
of kerosene emulsion.
Fortunately in nearly every instance
when the insect is abundant it is greatly
reduced in numbers by the work of parasites
which do their work so effectualhthat
if the outbreak is not entirely
checked it will seldom be repeated the
following year. During the outbreak of
this insect, oats land should be avoided
in planting fall wheat and all volunteer
oats should be carefully destroyed.

Wofford College Notes.
WOFFORD COLLEGE, SPARTANBURG,
March 23.?Examinations are over! What
a sigh of relief is heard on every side.
For the last ten days battles have been
waged, some of which were won, others
lost. The great mental strain is over and
now the reaction has set in.
The desire for merriment and for fun
has seized upon every one. What eould
be more natural at this season of the year
than for base ball to be chosen as the
means for recreating ourselves? Nothing
we are sure. And now with vim and |
determination the men who are desirous
for the honor of representing Wofford
on the diamond are working. From upwards
of thirty candidates the number
has dwindled down to fifteen. Those
who survive will be the fittest, and those
who will be the fittest will be worthy an-;
tagouists for any opponents who will con- j
test for honors on the diamond this
season. The 'Varsity players have been
virtually decided upon, it only remains
for the "subs" to be chosen. In a little
less than two weeks our first game will
be played when King's Mountain will
meet tier "Waterloo." This game has
been taken on as a practice game and of
course it will be pretty much of a "snap."
For the past few evenings the members
of the "rooting" club have met on the
college steps, preparing the song? and
yells which are to encourage the old gold
and black on to victory and some
ed and heart-broken team from
Mr. E. K. Hardin has been elected
in Chief" and when "Big Ed" (as he is
known here) gives the signal for a yell
there is "something doing j" from every
direction come the worshippers of Wofford's
banner, and the sound of a yell or
the melody of some Wofford song which
follows is enough to thrill the heart of
- ?">? .\iio u-hn mop hp ripvnid
auyuuu, c> ru iuai um .1 j ? ?
of enthusiasm.
The Calhoun Society elected the following
officers last Saturday night, to serve
through the months of April and May :
IF. E. Brad ham, presideut; F. C. Rogers,
[vice-president; G. B. Dukes, 1st critic;
J. S. Bailey, 2nd critic; G. W. Vaughn,
3rd critic; S. M. Dawkins, censor moruni;
J. A. Mcintosh, recording secretary; J.
M. Ariail, corresponding secretary.
There will be issued from the press of
W. F. Barnes in a few days, a book
written by Prof. J. G. Ciinkscales, of th.e
chair of mathematics in Wofford college.
The book deals with Wofford life during
the seventies. We feel certain that the
book will be one of real interest, for the
personality of the author will doubtless
pervade the entire story, making it one
full of thought as well as of genuine
humor.
The Wofford College Journal for March
has been issued. The"literary department
consists of three essays, three poems,
three stories, all of which together with
the editorial, exchange, alumni, and local
departments go to make the number one
of the best yet gotten out by the p^esjeijt
MZltl.
Rev. N. L. Prince, '02, was 011 the campus

Auditorium. His subject will be on the
"Siege of Pekin." On March .'10, Mr. D. L

Bamberg Guards.
At a meeting of the Bamberg Guards
on Tuesday night, March 24th, it was decided
to send Capt. W. R. Wright up to
Columbia to make requisition for a supply
of new kakbi uniforms, Krag-Jorgenson
rifles and other up-to-date equipments,
which, under the new law governing
the militia, is being distributed among
the various companies of the State.
The Guards havp begqn the work of
preparing for the two weeks encampment,
which will very likely be held at the Isle
of Palms this summer.
The men are bcgjpning to realize that
it will take good hard work to piake a
creditable show, and they have entered
upon their task with such zeal as has
never before been witnessed in the history
of the company. Enlistment blanks are
being circulated, and members, bptJi pld
and new, are being taken on for another
term of two years. There is some good
material in Bamberg, and in the near
future we hope to have a military company
of men ttjat will be second to none
in^he State.

Murderers Convicted.
At the court of general sessions in
Baruwell last week Stephen Harley,
William Daniels, Ed Da?jels? Lottie
Martin, Ben Orr, Fannie Daniels, M. AJohnson,
and Carrie Harrison, all negroes,
were tried for the killing of young Sam
Lightsey near Fairfax several months
ago. All vpre acquitted except two of
I the negroes, Stephen Harley jjjjd William
iDaniels, who were convicted of murder
with a recommendation to mercy. A
motion for a new trial was made'and refused,
and they were sentenced to life
imprisonment at hard labor in the penitentiary.
The facts of the killing are no doubt
familiar to our readers. Lightsey was a
young white man who mysteriously 'disappeared
from home and several weeks
later his dead body was found in the
woods not far from his father's house.
The body when found was in a good state
of preservation, and it was supposed it

The Old North State and Her War
Governor.
Pineville, N. C., March 21.?Reference
was made in a previous communication
to Ex-Governor Zebulon B. Vance
who was born near Asheville in 1830. It
is said iu his younger days though not a
worldian, it was his besetting sin to have
fun in any vocation he might be engaged.
He went out with the lamented State
Geologist, Dr. Mitchell, on a geological
survey in the mouutains of Western
North Carolina and coming on a ruined
mill house he said with some gravity:
"Doctor, do you tbink that old mill house
is worth a dam'{"
In May 1861 he raised the second company
in the Western part of the State
and in the fall of the same year was elected
to the coloneley of the 26th North Carolina
regiment, which he commanded until
August 1862, when he was elected Governor,
in which position he said he felt sure
he could be of more service to his great
old State than being in the army and the
subsequent facts proved it so. 'Tis said
* - .1 3 _ *
\ ances 2Utn regiment, comraanueu ai
Gettysburg by Col. Harrv Burgwyn, who
was killed there, suffered the greatest loss
in battle ever recorded in history. One
company was entirely annihilated, another
had a Lieutenant left, and others
came out with only three and four survivors.
He was undoubtedly the greatest war
governor, not excepting Governor Joe
Brown of Georgia. In an address to the
"Maryland Line" after the war he stated
he had several blockade running steamers,
one the "Advance," making 12 or 14
voyages across the "Big Pond" and the
others occasional trips to Nassau and
Bermuda. These steamers came laden
with articles much needed, such as cotton
cards, scythes, 250,000 pairs shoes, 250,000
uniforms, 12,000 overcoats, rifles, ammunition,
bacon, flour, coffee and medicines.
He turned over a large quantity of clothing
to the Confederate government.
"North Carolina put more soldiers in the
field during the war according to the
Confederate records than any other
Southern State and kept them better shod,
clothed and supplied than any others."
Tennessee had a greater number of regiments?154?containing
115,000 or 120,000
men, but North Carolina had 124,000 of
all arms. Her troops were, "The first at
Big Bethel, the farthest to the front at
Gettysburg and Chickamauga, and the
last at Appomattox." What a record!
Wheu President Davis bid Governor
Vance farewell near Greensboro, he
shook his hand warmly, saying: "God
bles9 3'ou and the noble old State of North
Carolina."
A battalion of seventeen years old
South Carolina Junior Reserves retreated
ahead of Sherman into North Carolina.
After Johnson's surrender quite a number
of these embryo soldiers concluded to
take Raleigh in their route home. Reaching
the oity hungry and fatigued several
of them went round to the executive
mansion and asked for something to eat.
The governor met them at the threshold,
told them his family had left, his two
cooks were almost broken down, and besides
his larder was about exhausted. A
tall, tallow-faced fellow replied, saying:
"That's what we used to tell them Wheeler
raiders down in South Carolina, but they
always stayed until they got a good meal.
ThP Governor s lys thpse boys got a
square meal before'they left,
The Governor soon left the Capital for
his old home in the mountains, taking
with him what was left of the war, which
consisted of a "saddle-horse, a wagon and
a pair of old mules" in an old freight car
which had holes knocked in the side to
get air Being crowded and harassed
y the disbanded soldiers and seeing ft .
"melish" boy climbing into one of the
air-holes, he'drew his repeater and told
hitp to get back; he crawled on through
the aperture, dropped fnsjde on the floor,
got up, looked straight at the Governor
and said: "You don't look like you'd
shoot." The Governor states his anger
n?wwl and thft hpave. imnudent fellow
r* : 'T-r
! got a ride.
j (It may be that some of the South
Carolina Reserves are subscribers and
' feeders of The Herald, and possibly were
I in some way connected with the incidents
related in the two foregoing paragraphs,
as a company in that battalion was made
up in old Barnwell county.)
Shortly after the war Governor Vance
went tp fjgliyej- $ lecture before a body
of students in a "law college in Washington,
D. C., and having to go on horseback
told them that he had a law book in
one end of his saddle-bags and 'twas
none of their business what was in the
ptbpr endr Thje "brought down the
house," and his address was attentively
listened to to the close.
General Hampton relates that years
ago while Senator Vance was traveling
in the far West he met a westerner of
popvivjal habits, and after they had conversed
on various topics for sometime,
the fellow said to Vance: "As the Governor
of North Carolina said to the Governor
of South Carolina, it is now time to
take a drink," not knowing that he was
addressing the very governor to whom
the expression had been attributed. They
sfcQQk hands, foojc a drink and parted?
forever.
The maxim, "a prophet is not without
honor save in his own country" does not
hold good in the case of Vance, for he
was greatly beloved by the people of his
native State, and until this day every
oijp has a good word for ?eb Vance
whenever his name is mentioned.

Conrt in Barnwell.
Barnwell, March 19.?The Bobbins
tragedy- in wjiich Qeprge D. Kirkland

the three Dunbars were also killed, was
commenced Tuesday. Two days were

D. S. Hendprspu, Bsq., and ft 4- Ellis,
Esq., aud 4. D- Best, I)sq., appeared fur
the defense and so conclusively did they

PAINE'S CELERY)
COMPOUND
I
Does a Wondrous Work for a Lady
Who Was Almost Crazed with
Pain and Suffering.
It is well known that terrible rheumatism,
sciatica, and neuralgia cause more helplessness,
acute suffering, and agony, than any of
the other diseases that afflict humanity. The
great medicinal virtues of Paine's Celery Compound
make it the only trustworthy specific
for the cure of all forms of rheumatism and
neuralgia. Thousands of strong testimonial
letters from the most prominent people of the
land, prove that Paine's Celery Compound .
has banished these terribly fatal troubles when
all other treatment has failed. Mrs. Margaret
Bethel, of Brainerd, Minn., after thirty
years of agonizing tortures had a desire to end
her life, if it was the will of Heaven; she almost
prayed for the time to lay it down.
Heaven-directed, she made use of Paine's
Celery Compound, and is enjoying true life
once more. She says:?
"For thirty years I have been a great sufferer
from neuralgia in the head, and also
with rheumatism in the whole body. I began
taking Paine's Celery Compound and soon
found I was much better. Before taking the
Compound, my life was such a burden that I
almost prayed to lay it down. I was bedfast
every two weeks with h rrible pain in the
head, back, and neck, until I was almost
crazed. I am able to do harder work and
more of it today than for Twenty-five years. I
am really enjoying life again, thanks to
Paine's Celery Compound. I am satisfied
that my life has been prolonged many years
by its use."

ONE
MINUTE
One Minute Cough Cure gives relief In
one minute, because it kills the microbe
which tickles the mucous membrane, causing
the cough, and at the same time clears
the phlegm, draws out the inflammation
and heals and soothes the affected parts.
One Minute Cough Cure strengthens the
lungs, wards off pneumonia and is a harmless
and never failing cure in all curable
cases of Coughs, Colds and Croup.
Our little girl was unconscious from strangulation
during a sudden and terrible attack of croup. I quickly
secured a bottle of One Minute Cough Cure and gave
her three doses half an hour apart. The croup was
mastered and our little darling speedily recovered. I
cannot praise One Minute Cough Cure too much for
what it has done in o? family.?A. L. Spifford, Poetmaster,

Henry Ward Beecher was exceedingly
happy in meeting an insult and turning

audience various letters received by him
during the previous week. One of these
contained only the word "Fool." "Now,"

to write a letter and then forget to sign
it, but I never knew a man to sign a letter
and then forget to write it."?Ram'a
