Residence Caught on Fire.
Early Tuesday morning the residence
occupied by Mr. A. B. Utsey
and family on Carlisle street caught
on fire, but the blaze was extinguished
before any serious damage was
done. The only fire in the house at
the time was in the kitchen, although
the portion of the roof where the
fire was first seen was some distance

was secured and a bucket brigade
was formed, and a^uick finish was
made to the fire, which was fortunate,
as the wind was blowing rather
briskly, and other houses would prob|
ably have caught. No damage was
done to the furniture, and only a
, small section of the roof was burned.
Farmers Take Notice.
A charter for a National Farm
! Loan association for Bamberg has
been applied for. Under the terms
and conditions required by the Federal
Farm Loan board a number of
farmers met in the office of Hon. B.
D. Carter, and after hearing the rural
credits system explained satisfactorily,
an organization was formed
and applied for a charter to establish
a National Farm Loan association
here. When same is granted,
a complete organization will be formed,
and will be prepared to receive
names or iarmers wno wisa tu sc,
cure loans through the rural credits
system, which proposes to lend the
|
farmers money in sums of not less
than $100.00 and not more than $10,000.00
at not more than 6 per cent,
interest on a ,term of not less than
five years, and not more* than 40
I years. This association will not be
ready to do business until the Fed|
eral Farm Loan board announces its
readiness to put out such loans.
Temperature Takes a Tumble.
The first real touch of winter ar!
rived in town last Friday morning,
when the temperature suddenly tumj
bled to a point that flirts with frosty
mornings. . The result was the calli
ing in of comforting and friendly
blankets in numerous households,
i More blankets were yet to be needed,
however, for the mercury did not
stop. It kept on falling.
The present cold snap is probably
the tail end of a nation-wide fall in
temperature. In the vicinity of Oklahoma
mercury went down to twenty-nine
degrees. The fall in temperature
is accompanied by a brisk
*
wind, which is probably the forerunner
of a "gale," or something akin

Mr. J. C. Folk Hurt.
While working on the school building
at Hunter's Chapel last week the
scaffold fell with Mr. J. C. Folk, a
carpenter of this city. Mr. Folk fell
about twenty feet to the ground, and
he sustained quite painful injuries.
The fall hurt his back, and he has
been confined to his bed since. . His
many friends hope that he will be
able to be out again soon.
Indian Field Camp Meeting.
' A large crowd of Bamberg people
wefot down to the Indian Field camp
meeting Sunday. ' One gentleman
said that he estimated the crowd
present Sunday at at least three thousand
persons; others estimated the
number present at a great many
more.

If the present plants are carried out
something like ten thousand dollars
will be expended on providing modern

the district.

Fire at Cotton Oil Co. M
Last Thursday afternoon fire broke
out in the ginnery of the Cotton Oil
company, but was extinguished with
but little loss. A small quantity of
seed cotton in the gin room and some w
lint was burned, and the place was T1
pretty badly blackened by smoke.
The Cotton Oil company has a fine
system of waterworks for fire pro- T1
tection, and no difficulty was experienced
in putting out the blaze. The
fire attracted a large crowd, who, H(
when they heard that the big establishment
of the Cotton Oil company Ne
was on fire, turned out in force ex- Yc
H<

Our Subscribtion Price.
cL Ij
re
The Herald has not had a great
deal to say about the price of the oa
? a 9
paper. We don't lijte to talk about
' ourselves so much, but we are con- .
lb
fronting such a serious situation that ^ ^
we feel our subscribers ought to pr
know of it. When we say we are
confronting a crisis, we do not mean j
merely this newspaper, but all newspapers
that look to their subscriptions
for revenue. The Herald has
been very fortunate so far in being en
far-sighted enough to purchase news- so
paper when the price was low, but
that supply has been exhausted, and
print paper is now worth, or was
worth on September J27th, 6 1-2 ^
cents per pound, or $lsO a ton. As
recent as last spring we purchased ^
paper at $55 per ion. You can see *
the enormous advance. And this ad- g.
vance is on the paper that is used
most, and therefore, the loss falls .
toi
the more heavily. Now, a sheet of ^
paper large enough to print an eight
page, six column paper, similar to
The Herald, on weighs just one- ,
or
tenth of a pound, and, therefore, costs .
inst a. little less than three-fourths
" ce
of a cent. The former cost was just j
a little more than one-fourth cent per
sheet. It is now costing us approxco
imately one-half cent a week increase
on each Herald printed. In other
or
words it costs us 26 cents a ,,
th
year more now to send you The _
pr
Herald than it cost us eight months
ago. And the end is not yet. Our
"naner houses inform us thev expect
r- x--- - - - . ar
newspaper to be worth ten cents a ^
pound before the first of the year.
The increase mentioned is on the
an
printing paper alone. Ink has ad- f
vanced as much as paper. _
We do not want to bore our read- los
ers with a lot of figures, but we do
wish to impress upon them that we inl
are losing money enormously on sub- in
scriptions at $1.50 a year. It is ab- gu
solutely necessary for us, in order to He
make ends meet, to cut off every pos- of
sible loss. We cannot afford to take pr?
any chances on loss by subscribers soi
failing to pay us. Every paper that iss
credits subscribers has a large loss co;
in this way. By cutting off every prj
subscriber not paid in advance, we kn
will be eliminating a large source of sai

HISTORY OF FLEECY STAPL
Earliest Mention of Cotton 400 Yc

1r .
The earliest mention of the cot
plant was 400 B. C., when Herodc
lg writes of the wild trees of Ir
e~ which "bear fleeces as their fr
re surpassing those of sheep for bea
and excellence, and the Indians
cloth made from these trees."

as early days the progress which
h p

,c~ terial for weaving into cloth.
1(* The Romans used cloth made
^ cotton very extensively, and its

was well known in China in reir
periods.

in when the Spaniards came. Spinn
and weaving were practiced by
women of the West Indies when
M umbus landed in those islands. T1

30 cloth, and called "humacs," wh
we have the modern name of hi
ni mock*.
Its early discoveries of the >
cha-cehe, or Mississippi, saw cot
e' growing in 1726. It was the str
e, product of Hrtspaniola, and in 1
Jamaica exported two thous;
bags.
It was stated in Carroll's Histo
is al Collections that experiments w
made on the Ashley River as ez
11 as 1670 in the growing of cotton, i
^ it was found to thrive well, but
some reason it was given up, pre
id bly because of the difficulty in sei
ating the seed.
The earliest attempt to plant <
^ ton in South Carolina as a crop 1
made in 1748, when seven bags w
m exported to England, bringing th
pounds, seven shillings and sixpe
^ per bag; again in 1751 cotton 1
exported in small quantities; this
not pay, however, and it was not
?; til 1788-90 that it was planted a
market crop to any great ertent.
In 1770 there were shipped to '
11 rope three bags of cotton from ^
York, four from Virginia and fi
Maryland, and three from North C

he planted three hundred acres

of two hundred and sixteen pou]

In 1787, two bags of cotton wr<

reported back that it was not worth

separating the seed. This, however,
was before the invention of the gin.

uit, previous to that time was the staple

use Gol. William Thomson, of Orangeburg
county, was the first extensive
leet Pinter of that section in 1794. John
,s a Mayrant, in 1797, was the first to
for plant cotton in Sumter. Gen. Wade
int, Hampton introduced it into Richland
LOSe county in 1801. He was the first to
had use water power for propelling the
ma_ machinery of the gin. He gathered
a crop of six hundred bags from six 1

i0te entirely by the hand loo,m until 1813.
The power loom was not successful
In- until 1822.
rico The first sea island cotton was ,
ting was planted on St. Simon's island,
the Georgia, in 1788, from seed brought
q0_ from the West Indies. Mr. Kinsey
leir Burden obtained some seed and was
the the first to introduce it into South
iere Carolina. His first experiment fail- J
am_ ed, but he persisted in vhis efforts in/**
the face of difficulties. . )
jes_ Mr. William Elliott planted a sm^ll
ton cr?P on Hilton Head and met yfith
iple success. Mr. Burden continued his
753 efforts, and by a careful selection of
and seed, noting results obtained, finally
improved the staple, and developrjc_
ed the sea island cotton as we now
ere know it. For many years he kept
irly the secret of his success. In 1825 he
an(l sold sixty bags for one dollar and.
for sixteen cents per pound, and in 1828
for two dollars. Mr. Burden was the
)ar_ first planter to use Hessian cloth for
packing his cotton. So carefully was m
30t_ this precious product put up that for
was a time the outer bags were lined with I
ere cotton cloth to protect the cotton .'1
ree from dust and dirt. / 9
nce At first some of the English spinwas
ners complained that the staple was
too long, and used to cut it shorter.
un_ The cultivation of sea island cot- r
s a ton increased enormously, and the.
sea coast planters grew rich. Many
EU. ar? the tales told of the wealth and
jew hospitality of these ante-bellum cot om
ton growers.
iar- So well known were their brands
that often the crop was sold by that,
I t0 rather than by sample,
one Of course the civil war brought <
un_ ruin and desolation to this industry,
ght The seed deteriorated to such an ex90,
tent that after the w^jr the only pure
seed known was contained in an orjn
dinary envelope, whch was given by
>ur- Capt. George C. Heyward to Mr.
van Joseph T. Dill. Mr. Dill planted sea
sland cotton that came from this
old small remnant.
Lge- The value of cotton seed was alia
most unknown, and thousands of ?
tons were annually thrown into the
riv- fields and allowed to rot as a fertna.
tilizer for the next crop. For many
lies years both the short and long staple
the cotton was packed only in bags. The
