?The Barnwell People says there
is now twelve prisoners in jail in
Barnwell, and two to be brought
down from the penitentiary. All are
m. to be tried at this term of court, and
five of them will race ine cnarge ui
murder. The murder record in this
section is getting awful.
I It is announced that the farm
demonstration work now being done
by the government in South Carolina
will be extended to Bamberg county
this fall. Special agents will visit
the county, going from farm to farm,
and giving specific instructions to the
individual farmer as to the betterment
of farming methods. This
ought to mean a great deal for the
farming interests of Bamberg.
Reports from all over the South
tn the effect that croDs have been
I I badly damaged by the heavy rains of
? the past few weeks. A trip to the
Piedmont section of the State last
week convinced us that the production
of cotton in that section this
year will be small. The crops have
been badly damaged by rain, and the
bad weather was still keeping up.
Cotton ought to bring at least 15
' cents a pound this fall.
READY-PRINT PAPERS.
In commenting on a paragraph in
The Herald of last week in reterence
to ready-print papers, the Yorkville
ik Enquirer says:
"The Enquirer likes the sound of
that. Three years ago The Bamberg
Herald was printed on the 'co-operative'
basis. At the meeting of the
Press Association in Charleston, the
editor of the Enquirer discussed the
matter with the editor of The Herald,
and The Herald was one of the papers
that bought a machine and
changed over to all home print shortly
after the editor of the Enquirer
read a paper on the subject at the
next meeting of the Association. The
editor of The Herald is one of the
ablest country editors in the State
and his paper is almost in a class by
itself. We do not think we had anything
to do with making a newspaper
man of Editor Knight, because he
really needed no assistance; but we
do believe that we helped inspire
him into the making of a still better
paper, and until we learn that we are
mistaken, we will be proud of the
part we think we had. We will still
be proud of The Herald, anyway."
We are glad to acknowledge that
our discussion of the newspaper
\ business with our good friend Grist, j
Pwho by the way publishes an ideal
semi-weekly paper, had much to do
with our discarding the co-operative
plan and putting in a machine, although
we had thought of the matter
some years ago and in fact had
signed a contract for a linotype, but
could not install it at that time for
lack of room. Our conversation with
the editor of the Enquirer, however,
strengthened our conviction that we
could make a machine pay us, and
the steady growth of our business
and the fact that we have been able
to keep a machine busy, often working
a day and night shift, makes us
feel glad indeed that he read the paper
on the subject and that we had
the pleasure of bearing it and of go
ing into the matter in detail with
him.
We appreciate the kind words of
our friend, and it is an inspiration to
any newspaper man who is in love
with his work and wants to improve
his paper to talk "shop" with Editor
Grist, for he knows the business
thoroughly from end to end and
loves his work. In fact none of we
country newspaper men have anything
like the equipment or print the
paper he does. His newspaper is not
only in a class by Itself so far as this I
State is concerned, but in the United I
States as well. And, by the way, we j1
missed you very much at the meeting |
of the Press Association last week. J
We shall find it hard to forgive you ' ^
if you fail to meet us at Glenn i,
Springs next year. j j

THE PRESS MEETING. j1
(
The annual meeting oi the State ,
Press Association in Greenville was! i
a record breaker, not only in point of i <
attendance of the members and their'.
"dependent females," as Col. Bacon
puts it, but in other respects as well. <
it was no less a pleasure than a priv- (
<
ilege to attend a session in the progressive
city of Greenville, and we '
again urge every newspaper man in <
South Carolina to attend these meet- j
ings. It will do you good to touch ,
elbows with your fellow-workers, ]
and you will understand the fellows i
a great deal better. Here it is that 1
we all meet as one big family, and }
we forget all save the pleasure of <
each other. Speaking from personal 1
experience, the Press Association has j
given to the writer some very strong j
friends?men wnom we love ior j
their many good traits. Had it not
been for our attending the meetings J
we might never have known them at (
all, much less intimately. 1
The people of Greenville were indeed
gracious and hospitable, and
their preparations for the entertain- ?
ment of the press party were elegant
and elaborate. However, rain
interfered with some of the out-door j
program, but even this did not keep 1
those whole-souled mountaineers 1
from making us all have a mighty c
good time. 3
Red-headed Rut McGhee, editor of 1
the Piedmont, and Geo. W. Brunson, *
Jr., editor of the Greenville News, ?
(wno Dy tne way is an urangeDurg
boy and is well-known and has many
friends in Bamberg) were indefatigable
in their efforts to entertain
their "brothers in misery," as Rut
called his co-laborers, and if there
was anything lacking in their reception,
we failed to find out what it
was.
Greenville is a growing city. We
were astonished in fact at the
strides it has made in the last few
years. Only a few years ago we attended
a session of the grand lodge
Knights of Pythias in that city, and
a ride over the town then and last
week was a revelation to us in the
number of new residences, business
houses, etc., which have gone up
since then. In fact, what was the
suburbs then has been built up almost
solidly with magnificent homes.
It is impossible in this short article
to speak of Greenville's many magnificent
cotton factories as well as
other enterprises, but the town is
still growing and that rapidly.
Heretofore we have been'opposed
to meeting in a large town, as the
experience had been that a small I
gathering of newspaper men did not i
attract much attention and the body 1
was not appreciated. But the Press
Association has grown, and the
Greenville meeting was no doubt the ^
most largely attended of any in the ?
history of the Association. And the
press crowd was not the tail to anybody's
kite. We were the whole
thing?at least in the estimation of
the people of Greenville, and our
only regret is that the meeting did
not last all the week. And here we
want to make a suggestion: That
the Association convene on, say
Wednesday night and adjourn Friday
night, so that we all can get
home by Saturday night and have a
day of rest before beginning the
daily grind.
We started out to say much more,
but our foreman is sick, and with
our many free jobs to look after,
this will have to suffice for this time.
We may have something more to say
next week.
* * *
It was a mighty good sign to see
some newspaper men at the Press
Association who have not been attending
the meetings heretofore.
May they keep on coming.
Here's hoping that we may all
meet at Glenn Springs with no vacancies
in our ranks.

all feel sure he will "make good." *
The Educational Campaign.
Following are some of the objects
to be accomplished by the educational
campaign that is to be made in
South Carolina in August:
Better school houses and better
equipment.
Consolidation of small schools.
Better teachers and better salaries.
Fewer changes in teachers.
Better attendance, more pupils
and more regular compulsory attendance.
Longer school terms ? nine
months.
United community school support
of school and the teachers.
More teachers and more courses in
the high school.
More funds and local taxation.
Need of an educational commission?the
certification of teachers.
Business men on the farm.
The school as a social centre.
State scholarships and college
: standards.

STORM SWEEPS GREENWOOD.
Hail, Rain and Wind Cause Damage
in Town and County.
Greeenwood, July S.?Greenwood
tvas subjected late Wednesday afterloon
to a terrific wind, hail and rain
storm. The damage over the town
and county was very heavy, though
is yet no definite news can be got
from the outlying towns on account
Df the destruction of telephone
ivires. The damage in the city and
learbv consists mainly of destruction
Df dwellings, barns, trees, etc., there
jeing no serious effects as to the in
jury of persons.
The large warehouse of Durst-Anirews
Company was almost destroyed,
the roof being swept away by the
strong wind and the building twisted
until the entire structure caved in.
The roof on the seed house of the
Greeenwood Oil mill was lifted up
and carried several hundred yards.
The residence of Mr. Dick Reynolds
svas struck by lightning, the chimney
falling and smashing the roof in.
Several barns were demolished and
it is quite remarkable that though
nany contained live stock, not a single
animal was killed or even injured.
In every portion of the town
:rees were pulled from the ground
ny the terrible wind force, in many
nstances crashing through the telephone
wires and causing great damage
to the system.
As a result of the hail and rain
:he already poor crops of the county
vere damaged to a great extent and
:he farmers have added a degree or
:wo of gloom to their expression.

Pays Expenses of the Farm.
The history of cotton seed oil is
me of the wonders of the last generition.
Fifty years ago cotton seed
vas a nuisance to the planters. At
ast the experiment was made to
)ress the oil from the seeds, the
hought being it would be good, perlaps,
for live stock, but when it was
lone, an oil expert refined some of it
tnd found it was equal to the very
inest olive oil, and now the oil from
he cotton seeds, as a by-product,
learly or quite pays the expense of
)lanting and harvesting the cotton,
eaving the staple as profits.
This ought to open investigation
n many ways, this ought to be an injentive
to our agricultural schools
o experiment on different plants.
Dvery one knew all through the
rears that there was plenty of oil
n cotton, but for a full century the
hought that it might be made of
ralue never entered men's minds.
iVe saw a few months ago that paper
vas being made out of the cotton
italk, and that's something which
he schools might all practice on to
;ee if there is not some plant which
jrows in abundance and is not of
nuch value that could be manufac,ured
into paper.
The amount of timber used up for
)aper making every year amounts to
i great forest. There ought to be a
substitute, either hemp or flax or
:orn or cotton or something else, out
)f which paper could be cheaply
nade. The amount of paper used in
m ordinary metropolitan daily paper
s so great that a charge of two
:ents a pound for it might make a
lifference between a Rrofit and a loss

Object to All-Negro Town.
Oxford, Ala., July 13.?Objecting
;o the existence of Hobson City, the
>nly exclusively negro town in the
Jnited States, the authorities of Ox'ord
have prepared a bill which they
lope to have passed at the approachng
session of the legislature, which
vill effectively destroy the autonomy
>f the negro-officered and negro-popllated
suburb. A law authorizing
;he annexation was passed at the
ast session, but was subsequently
leclared unconstitutional.
Oman lodge, A. F. M., will have a
)ig time this (Wednesday) evening.
special meeting will be held, at
vhich Grand Master J. L. Michie, of
Darlington, will be present. A banjuet
will be served, and a number

REAPING BENEFIT j
From the Experience of Bamberg
People..
We are fortunate indeed to be
able to profit by the experience of
our neighbors. The public utterances
of Bamberg residents on the following
subject will interest and benefit
thousands of our readers. Read this
statement. No better proof can be
N. B. Adams, Main street, Bamberg,
S. C., says:
"I most heartily recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills, as I used them
and obtained great benefit. I suffer- ?|
ed for more than a year from attacks |||
of backache and pains in the small
of my back. The kidney secretions *
were, unnatural and gave me no end
of trouble on account of their frequency
in passage. Having Doan's
Kidney. Pills brought to my atten
tion, I procured a supply at the Peo- -jw
pies Drug Co. and began using them.
They gave prompt relief. In a fewweeks
the pains in my back were entirely
disposed of and my kidneys '
were again performing their work '
properly."
