First George Cut Down a Cherry Tree
sr. '
The Bamberg Herald tells of the
killing of a negro woman by "George
Washington, a negro.'' Did anybody
ever know a negro named George
Washington that was any apcount?
The name -figures in police and other
courts far beyond the average percentage.
Booker Washington is a
credit to his race, and Tom, or John,
or Bill may not be so bad; but name
one George, and it is a ratal Handicap.?Newberry

REGARDING COLORED COTTON.
Mr. A. W. Brabham Receives two Interesting
Letters.
The following from Mr. A. W.
Brabham, of Olar, in the News and
Courier of recent date, will be read
with interest in Bamberg county:
I Mr. Brabham's Colored Cotton.
Of the many letters coming to me
I prize none higher than copies of
two I am sending you. Prof. Reefer
gives me a brand new idea, and maybe
other plant breeders can profit by
it. Prof. Reefer writes:
"My Dear Sir: With the greatest
interest have I read of your success
in producing colored cottons. As a
student of chemistry and languages
these many years, both at home and
abroad, may I give you, gratis, an
idea. It was the combination of animal;
vegetable and mineral plus
urates (human preferred) that gave
to the ancient Egyptians and Phoenicians
their indelible colors.
"Rubens ground dried hearts of
human corpses to prepare his wonderful
flesh tints. Murillo did the
| same. You could try the veinous
blood of pig, with a proportionate
weight of manganese and charcoal.
Plant some of your bronze cotton
seed in a rich earth to which fats of
pig and lamb, also urates, have been
added. Expose to the strong sunlight
and watch ;what happens!
"From the analogy of all life to
that of the human race I deduce the
foregoing. The black man absorbs
the same material. Why then will
not cotton take on his coloring?
'Verbum sat sapienti?' I
"I look forward toward the perfect
day when there shall be no secrets;
when all shall be as free as the
holy truth of the Creator.
| "With every good wish for you,
The Alkahest.' " Yours truly,
"G. S. KEEFER.
"Atlanta, September 27.
"By Mrs. D. H. Reefer."
"Avery Island, La.
"Dear Sir: I live in the midst of
the descendants of French-Canadians,
who came here when this was a
French colony. The French government
gave these people a yellow cotton
imported from Siam, and from it
they have been growing cotton for
their own cloth for more than a cen
tury. They use indigo for dyeing
purposes. These people are told that
this yellow cotton has no commercial
value. I am enclosing sample of-the
cotton, also samples of two grades of
cloth made from it.
"This cotton has come true to type
for more than a century on both clay
and alluvial soils. Very truly yours,
"MISS SARAH A. McILHENNY."
v
See here is a fixed type of natural
colored cotton that has been grown
in the cotton belt for more than 100
years. Also a formula from a noted
chemist for making an indelible black
cotton, to wit:
Veinous blood of pig.
j Black ovide of manganese.
Human uric acid. \
Charcoal, rich earth.
Prof. Reefer quotes a Latin phrase
which in English means: "A word
to the Wise is sufficient." A word
from the wise is not sufficient. I
would appreciate words like Prof.
Reefer wrote me every day in the
year.
Negro Died From Injury.
- A negro tinner, whose* name is not
known, died yesterday morning as
a result of injuries sustained when
he fell from the roof of the Baptist
church Tuesday afternoon. The negro's
neck was dislocated when he
fell, and a clot formed on the brain,
causing death. The negro came to
Bamberg some day6 ago from St.
Matthews, and was a stranger here.
He was engaged to repair the tin
work on the church. Tuesday while
he was painting the roof, a ladder,
which supported him, gave way and
he fell to the ground some distance
below.

COLLETON BOOSTERS COMING j
Meeting of Citizens to be Held at the
Town Hall Thursday Night.
The Colleton county fair boosters
will visit Bamberg, about 100 strong,
today, Thursday. They will reach
j here by automobile from Branchjville
this afternoon about 6:00 o'
clock. They will stop in Bamberg |
for the night, and after breakfast, j
will return to Walterboro.
A public meeting of the citizens
of Bamberg has been called for
Thursday (this) evening, at 8
o'clock, to meet with the boosters.
Every citizen in the city is urged to
be present at the. meeting, men,
women and children. The boosters
will have a good word for the people,
and the meeting will be on the order
of a get-together affair.
This is a splendid opportunity for
the people of Bamberg to become
better acquainted with our Colleton
county neighbors. The Colleton
county fair is one of the best in the
State. Let our people go out and
hear the boosters, and learn something
about their fair. Perhaps
Bamberg can be benefited thereby, as
we contemplate having a fair next
year in Bamberg. We feel sure that
the visitors will be only too glad to
give any pointers.
The booster party will be compos
ed of representative Walterboro and
Colleton county business men, and
there will be a goodly aggregation of
them. Bamberg will be glad to welcome
them, and every hospitality will
be accorded to the neighbors from
the adjoining county.
Let everybody remember the meeting
for tonight (Thursday) and be
on hand to welcome the boosters.
A Card From Miss Sandifer.
I have acaepted a position with
the Southern Bell Telephone company
at Batesburg, and will be absent
from the city. I wish to state
to my friends that I will not drop
out of The Herald subscription con- 1
test, but expect to continue working.
I will appreciate any work that my
friends do for me, and any votes
that they cast for me will be appreciated.
I am in the contest to stay
and expect to win.

Civic League Meeting.
? - 1;
The first Civic league meeting ui
the fall season was held with Mrs.
J. J. Smoak in her pretty new bungalow,
and the fact was made manifest
that the members had thrown
off the lethargy of summer days and
were ready for new work by the interest
shown and the new plans formulated.
About 35 were present,
the president, Mrs. W. P. Jones, presiding,
and all officers and chairmen
of the various committees were
present with reports of work accomplished
and of still more contemplated.
i
In order to arouse the interest of
the young people of the town, for it
is through the education of ' the
younger generation that we ;nay hope
for reforms, it was decided to offer
two prizes to the high school boys
and girls writing the best papers on
the subject: "What Must be Done to
Make Bamberg a 'City Beautiful?' "
The best article on the subject will
be awarded a prize of $2.00, the second
best $1.00, the prize winners
reading their papers at the next

Quite heated were the discussions
among the members as to whether
the rear of the court house grounds
should be made into a playground
for children or merely beautified and
used as a park. Many think this an
unsuitable spot for a playground, on
account of the suronndings, while all
agree that the citizens of Bamberg
must bestir themselves and provide
a place of recreation and amusement
for the boys and girls "of the town.
If this place is not suitable, the
league would be glad to have suggestions
from the fathers and mothers of
the town as to a vacant lot which can
be adapted to this purpose, and
which the owner will give or least to
the town. Do not wait until the
league's money has been spent on |
the court house grounds and then denounce
the place.
Six new members were enrolled atthis
meeting. After every phase of
civic work had been discussed, business
matters were dispensed with
and a social half hour pleasantly
spent, during which delightful cake
and cream were served by the hostesses,
Mesdames Smoak, M. E. Ayer,
R. L. Risher, and Otis Simmons.
