meeting.
Several farmers have reported to
The Herald that their oats were not
killed, as first thought, by the recent
cold weather. They were badly
damaged, and in most instances killed
outright, but there are a good
many farmers who were fortunate
enough to escape.
The district convention of the
Knights of Pythias will be held today
at Denmark. The following are
the delegates from the Bamberg
lodge: Messrs. L. B. Fowler, R. C.
Stokes, and W. M. McCue. Messrs.

Sold Carload of Hogs.
Recently Messrs. J. K. and W. D.
Mayfield sold a carload of hogs raised
on their plantation a few miles from
the city. The shipment was sold to
E. W. Evans & Co., produce and commission
merchants, Richmond, Va.,
for $989.65?lacking just $10.35 of
being a round thousand dollars. This
is probably the largest single shipment
of hogs that has ever been
made from Bamberg county. J
It is understood that Messrs. May- ,
field raised these hogs principally on <
velvet beans, which are grown at a
small cost. The beans are planted in corn
rows, when the corn is laid by, i
and are grown with but little further ;
attention. Where the fields are
fenced, the hogs are allowed to run
at large in the fields after the corn
is gathered, thus saving all expense
of gathering. If gathered, velvet
beans are found to be a profitable
crop for the markets, but are usually
more profitable to .raise hogs on.
The possibilitites of the velvet
bean apparently are not realized by
the farmers. The velvet bean is said
to be one of the finest hog feeds
known.
DELIVERY SERVICE ORDERED.
Bamberg Will Have Mail Delivery on
April First.
Postmaster Knight was informed
in a letter from the postoffice department
Tuesday of the village delivery
service to be inaugurated here April
first. The necessary arrangements
are to be made previous to that time,
and the regular trips of the carrier
will be started on that date.
Mr. Emile Price has been designated
carrier. Bamberg is the third
town in this congressional district tc
secure this service, Barnwell and
Blackville being the other towns.
The postmaster requests all per
?1-. ? J r^oil ol
sons who uesne men man utmtn.u
at their houses or places of business
to hand in their names at the postoffice
at once.
It will be necessary for all residences,
where mail is to be delivered,
to provide suitable receptacles.
As there is no regulation box required
for this purpose, any kind of box
will answer.
Carlisle School Notes.
On last Wednesday evening Mr.
Ralph Parlette appeared in the last
lyceum number of the season. Mr.
Parlette was at his best and subject,
"Happiness" was indeed skilfully
handled. Such lecturers as Mr.
I Parlette are always in demand and
' Bamberg was trul^ fortunate in havI
:?? t. : ? j in o/mi f hio

year. It is to be hoped that Mr. Parlette
can be with us again before very
long. The Young Ladies' Music club
rendered two vocal numbers before
the lecture. Their part in the programme
was greatly appreciated.
The audience gave them prolonged
applause.
Prof. Whitaker went to Orangeburg
last Tuesday night on business.
Prof. Guilds spent the week-end
in Sumter, where he went on matters
pertaining to the school.
Death of Mrs. M. V. Mouzon.
Blacksburg, Feb. 15.?On Friday
morning at the Hickory Grove Methodist
parsonage, Mrs. Mamie Varnadoe
Mouzon, wife of the Rev. H. C.
Mouzon, died. Her body was brought
here the following day and interred
in the new cemetery of the town.
The funeral services were held in
the Methodist church by the pastor,
the Rev. J. B. Traywick. The many
and appropriate floral offerings and
the large congregation, both from
Wipknrv fJrnvp. and Blaoksbure.
which attended the services at the
church and the last sad rites at the
grave attested the high esteem in
which this excellent woman was held.
Mrs. Mouzon was a native of Georgia
and was born January 25, 1867. She
was married on April 6, 1893 to the
Rev. H. C. Mouzon and although for
several years in feeble health she had
always taken an active^interest in
her husband's ministerial work. The
two past years during his pastorate
here by her intelligence, genial disposition,
patient faith and unwavering
devotion to her church and its duties,
she was not oi;ly a true helpmeet to
her husband, but also endeared herself
to those of our people with whom
she came in contact and her bereaved
husband has the heartfelt sympathy
of our entire community. 1

Holiday at Postoffice.
Thursday, Washington's birthday,
will be observed at the postoffice. The
office will be closed until 10 o'clock,
will remain open from 10 to 11, and
will be open again in the afternoon
from 5:30 to 6 o'clock. Patrons of
the postoffice are reminded of these
hours. The rural mail carriers will t
not go out upon their routes Thursday.
Site for Public Building.
The Herald has been asked by several
parties what has become of the
appropriation for a public building
for Bamberg. In this regard, we will
state that the item of $5,000 for a
site in Bamberg for a postoffice building,
was inserted in the public build-1
ings bill by Congressman Byrnes, but
it is not likely that the public buildings
bill will be passed at this session
of congress. There are so many
other matters of grave importance
before congress that it is not thought
that the public buildings bill will be
even considered at this time, so it is
practically certain that Bamberg will
receive no appropriation in the immediate
future.

Mr. Paul Whitaker has been made
secretary of the Bamberg Chamber of
Commerce. Mr. Whitaker has already
entered upon his duties. Mr.
Whitaker is a young man of great
energy and public spirit, and it was
largely through his suggestions and
work that the Chamber of Commerce
was organized. He has many things
in mind which he has hopes of being
accomplished by Bamberg's commercial
body, and in his work The
Herald wishes him much success.
K. of P. Anniversary.
Monday, February 19th, was the
anniversary of the founding of the
order of Knights of Pythias, and was
generally observed throughout the
country. While no special programme
was arranged for the meet-|
ing of the Bamberg lodge Mondavi
evening, the anniversary was observed
by conferring the rank of
page, under special dispensation, upon
seven applicants. The following
were the applicants: Messrs. J. C.
Guilds, Paul Whitaker, Walter W.
Daniel, J. J. Heard, J. B. Black, Jr.,
John Schwarting, and Cecil E. Corbett.
Two others, who have been
elected members of the lodge, but
who were not present to receive the
rank of page Monday night, are
Messrs. F. E. Dozier and D. A. Reid.
This is perhaps the largest class ever
received into the lodge at one time
since the lodge was organized.
Preparing Credit Guide.
"Pay as you go, or stop going."
That is the slogan recommended
now by the Merchants' association
of the Chamber of Commerce, to the
people of the city who have been in
the habit of running accounts. It is
not meant, of course, for those who
always pay promptly; it is meant for
those who, either purposely or otherwise,
become addicted to the habit of
allowing their accounts to go over
from week to week, or month to
month, and finally lose all sense of
obligation to the man who has extended
them favors in the form of
credit.
The warning is sent out just at this
time because there is to be issued
shortly in Bamberg a Credit Experience
guide, in which every
? 1 + TXT ill
man or wuwaii uiu^1115 *****
be rated according to the manner in
whicfh they meet credit obligations, j
It is thought that such a system will'
eliminate much loss^on the part of
thh merchants, and at the same time
will protect those who need and dt?
serve credit by eliminating those
who will r.ot pay, thus maintaining
a credit system in the city on a more
scientific basis.
The merchants interested in the
publication of this guide will send
out communications to their patrons
who carry accounts and are now
slightly behind. These patrons were
asked to pay as promptly as possible
in order that their rating may be
?ood. Now the Merchants' association
issues a communication to citizens
of the city in which the gospel
of prompt pay is advertised. This
communication follows:
"The celebrated John Randolph
said he discovered the true philosopher's
stone in the expressions, 'pay
as you go,' and 'out of debt, out of
ianger.'
"As a remedy for hard times, paste
the above in your hat, write it on
four cuff and commence each day by
'eading it and then practice it by
paying your newspaper subscription,
grocery bills, doctors' bill, druggist
pill, et als. They all have mouths to
'eed, rent to pay, and little ones to
dothe. If you are unable to pay in
:ull, pay a little; show a disposition
;o be honest and help the man who
lelped you when you were in need,
jet in line by practice before the
Merchants complete the plan of their
>rganization; when a list of the 'bad
Days' will be kept and it will then be

I
PEANUTS IN COTTON BELT.
May Be Profitable Industry for his
Section.
The peanut is one of the best hog
foods and is also valuable for cattle,
horses and mules. Poor soil can be
improved by growing peanuts for
hog breeding purposes, especially if
the hogs are turned into the field and
allowed to gather the nuts.
The demand for peanuts is growing
rapidly. In growing peanuts for
market, however, the beginner should
bear in mind that it is necessary to
have certain machinery that is not
found in communities where peanuts
are not commonly grown. It should
also be borne in mind that there are
no well established markets for peanuts
in most sections of th^ cotton
belt and that the price is governed by
that paid in Virginia and North Carolina.
No farmer should go into the
production of peanuts for market
without first knowing whether the
quantity grown in his community will
be sufficient to justify buying the
necessary machinery and to enable
the grower to ship in carload lots.
While peanuts will grow on nearly
any type of soil, a sandy or sandy
loam soil, preferably light in color,
gives the best results. Dark soil or
those containing a considerable percentage
of iron are likely to stain the
shells, rendering them less desirable
for market. For stock feeding purposes,
however, the staining of the
shells is of little consequence. Soils
that become hard or compact are not
adapted to peanut growing, owing to
the inability of pod stems, or "pegs,"
to penetrate the surface.
Poorly drained or sour soils are
not suited to the peanut. The ideal
soil is sandy loam containing a considerable
amount of humus or vege
table matter, togeiner wiui au auuudance
of lime.
Preparation of the Soil.
The soil for the peanut should be
thoroughly prepared by plowing, har'
rowing and dragging or rolling. The
time to plow depends upon the charI
acter of the soil and its previous
treatment. Where there is no danger
of the soil washing, fall plowing
is advisable, especially if any coarse
material is to be turned under. On
land where there is no crop the plowing
need only be done in time to allow
the soil to settle before planting.
Land plowed in the spring should
be harrowed a short time after plowing
in order to prevent the loss of
moisture. Fall plowed land should
be harrowed early in the spring and
at intervals of a week or ten days
until the peanuts are planted.
On soils fairly well drained level
culture should be practiced, but
where the drainage is poor it is advisable
to throw up slight ridges upon
which to plant the peanuts. Where ,
water stands upon the land for any
considerable length of time peanuts ,
should be as low and flat as the con
111 ~
unions win aiiuw.
The large pod plants, such as Vir- 1
ginia Bunch and Virginia Runner, '
should be shelled for planting, while i
the small podded Spanish plant is i
usually planted in the shell. When i
planting in the pods, it is a good <
plan to soak the peanuts for a few 1
hours to hasten germination. After i
soaking, the seed should not be al- :
lowed to become dry. Shelled seeds i
should never be soaked. '
The peanut should not be planted,:
until the soil has become quite warm, I s
and as a rule a little later than corn, j
The Spanish variety may be planted :
lateiv than the Virginia type. In i
some sections of the cotton belt the <
Spanish and similar varieties may be i
planted after oats or other crops
which come off early in the summer. 1
When growing the Spanish variety '
for hog feeding purposes, it is a good j
plan to make three or four plant- <
ings, so as to have the plants come ]
to maturity at different times. The
first planting should be made as (
early as possible, and other plantings 1
at intervals of three or four weeks, t
until the first of July in the upper i
South and up to the last of July in 1
the lower South. i
The best distance to plant peanuts t
varies according to the soil and va- i
riety. The Virginia Runner variety
on good soil should be planted 12 to 2
15 inches apart in rows at least 36 ]
inches apart. Virginia Bunch pea- 1
nuts are planted in rows 30 to 36 i
inches apart and 9 to 12 inches apart
in the row. The Spanish and Va- i
lencia varieties are planted in rows ?
28 to 36 inches apart and 6 to 9 I
inches in the row. When growing t
the Spanish variety for feeding pur- s
poses, it is advisable to plant the 1
seed 6 inches apart in rows 30 inches g
apart. i
The quantity of seed required to 1
plant an acre depends upon me ciose-1 j.
ness of planting. As a rule, it requires
1 1-2 pecks of shelled Spanish f
peanuts, or 5 to 7 pecks in the pods, r
to plant an acre. On light, sandy s
soils the seed should be covered 11-2 q
to 2 inches and 1 inch to 1 1-4 inches i:
on heavy soils. 1
A large part of the crop is planted n
with one-horse peanut planters, t
Some of these machines are designed a
for planting the Spanish and similar a
<
varieties in the shell. Some peanut Ij
growers still plant by hand, opening ]
the row with a single shovel plow l
and dropping the nuts at the desired ]
distance. The row is then covered by ]
means of a small cultivator with a <
notched board fastened across the i
back of the implement. <
Cultivation of Peanuts. 1
The cultivation of the peanut <
should begin soon after planting and
continue until the vines occupy the <
ground. If the surface of the soil <
gets hard before the plants break <
through, it is a good plan to run a ]
weeder over the field to break the ]
crust. As soon as the rows can be 1
followed regular cultivation should l
begin. A two-horse riding cultivator ;
is employed to a large extent in the 1
old peanut-growing regions, although ]
one horse cultivators are used by 1
many farmers. A cultivator will give <
better results than a sweep or plow. <
The surface should be stirred as soon j
as possible after a rain in order to <
prevent the baking of the soil. i
After the peanuts begin to "peg," <
or form pods, they should not be dis- j
turbed or given further cultivation, t
For the last cultivation it is a common
practice to employ a cultivator <
that will roll the soil up under the <
branches, to provide loose soil for the i
"pegs" to penetrate. i
In the lower South, with late *
frosts, the vines become yellow when 1
peanuts are mature. Peanuts should ?
be dug when the vines have the great- 1
est number of mature pods.
Peanuts are ordinarily plowed
from the ground with a one horse 1
plow, with mold board removed to
prevent throwirig dirt over the vines.
The plow should be so regulated that
the peanut root can be cut off at any
desired depth. The machine potato ;
digger does very satisfactory work,
digging from eight to ten acres a day.
This machine removes the peanuts
from the ground and also shakes off
the soil, leaving the vines lying on
the surface. This machine is only
practicable where a considerable
acreage is to be dug.
After the peanuts are dug a gang
of workmen shake the vines free
from the soil and thjow them in
small bunches. When the machine
digger is used this shaking is unnecessary
as the machine frees the
peanuts from the soil. The vines are
left spread on the ground or in small
bunches from three to four hours
and are then placed in small stacks
around a pole to cure.
The poles for the peanut stacks
should be three or four inches in
diameter and seven to eight feet long.
The poles are set in the ground 12 to '
18 inches and are well tamped.
Before starting the stack one or j
two pieces of lath, scrap lumber or
sapling, about 18 inches in length,
are nailed at right angles to the 1
stake eight inches from the ground
to prevent the peanuts coming in
contact with the soil. In starting to 1
build the stack a few vines are laid ;
across these pieces and the stack is
then built up by successive layers of 1
vines, the pods being kept well to '
the centre against the stake and the J
tops to the outside. ' The stems
should slope outward to shed water. J
Occasionally a few vines should be '
hung around the stake in order to '
tie the stack together. By this
method the pods will be near the centre
and around the stake, where
there is an upward circulation of air
and general protection. When the
stack has reached the desired height,
a bunch of vines are rolled together
and pressed down over the point 01
the stake to form a top, or a little
3ry grass or a few weeds may be
used for this purpose.
It is not advisable to use anything
for topping out the small stacks that
will prevent the circulation of air.
heavy cover or a covering of green
>r wet hay will invariably cause the
aeanuts to spoil.
Curing in barns is not advisable
jither when curing peanuts for marvet
or where the entire plant is fed
;o stock, as the crop will cure better
n small stacks than when stored in
)ulk. After the nuts have been cured
n the stack from four to six weeks
hose intended for feeding purposes
nay be stored in barns or sheds.
Peanuts should cure in the stack
it least three or four weeks before (
picking or threshing in order to alow
the pods to become dry and the
)eas firm. A
Peanuts are still picked by hand
n some sections, especially when the =
grower has only a few acres. Hand
)icking is a very laborious and dusty ^
ask, but hand picked nuts are the _
tandard of excellence on the market.
The expense of picking by hand is M
greater than by machinery, and as j?
t is difficult to get enough labor for land
work machines are used by
s
iractically all large growers. s
Two types of machines are used A
or picking peanuts from the vines, h
The common grain thresher with a
pecial cylinder for peanuts gives d
uite satisfactory results in remov- P
ng Spanish peanuts from the vine. ?
'he principal objection to cylinder _
nachines is the tendency to break
he pods, but by running the cylinder ^
a
bout 400 revolutions pei* minute w
nd by feeding properly, the break- \
age can be reduced to a very small
percentage. If the peanuts are to
De shelled soon after they go on the
market, the breaking of the pods is
iot very objectionable. When oats
ir wheat are grown in localities
vhere peanuts are raised, the cylinier
machine can be used for all of j
:hese crops by having two cylinders,
me for grain and one for peanuts.
The peanut picker works upon an
entirely different principle from the
lylinder machines. The picking is
lone by dragging the vines over a
horizontal frame covered with wire
mesh. The nuts drop through the
tvire and at the same time rubber 4
brushes attached to an endless chain x
act olf the lower side of the screen m
to remove the nuts. In addition to t
removing the pods from the vines, J
these machines have cleansing and ,-^m
stemming devices which remove the ! l
iirt and the small stems irom me
f
pods. The picker type of machine
ioes not break or injure the pods,
ind for this reason it is especially
desirable for picking peanuts that 1
are to be sold in the pod or stored j
through the summer months. j
After the peanuts are picked they J
should be stored in a dry place, pref- J
srably in a mouse-proof building. If
the peanuts are damp after their re- }"?
moval from the vines they should be
spread on a floor or stored in a well
ventilated building. When the pods
are dry they may be put into bags as
:hey come from the machine.
As already mentioned, the peanut
is a valuable crop for various types
of live stock, especially hogs. Few,
if any crops, will produce more
pounds of pork on an acre of land or
produce it at a lower cost per pound
than peanuts. A 40 bushel crop- of j
Spanish peanuts will produce 400 to
500 pounds of pork to the acre, and
if the hay is harvested before the
hogs are turned in it will nearly pay
for the cost of growing the crop. In jfeJ
addition to the profit of the pork, the H
crop producing capacity of the soil fl
will be materially increased. By mak
ing successive plantings, as previously
suggested, the earliest crop should
be ready for the hogs by the first of
August, and the last crop should be
available until the ground freezes. In
pasturing hogs on peanuts, it is best
to confine them to small areas by 1
using portable fences rather than to J
let them have the run of the whole J
fieid. 1
Peanuts for Live Stock.
In some of the Southern States the
peanut is extensively used for planting
between rows of corn, the peanuts
usually being planted at the last
cultivation of the corn. After the
corn is harvested cattle are turned
in to eat the fodder and peanut tops.
Following the cattle, the land is pastured
by hogs in order to clean up "jk
the peanuts. In this way the stub*
ble and roots of the peanuts supply fl
humus and most of the nitrogen .>9
stored in the nodules on the roots is
left in the soil. . j
"In addition to growing peanuts to I
be fed in the field, the orop can be ;
;ured as described for a market crop ' 4
md stored in sheds or barns for J
winter feeding. The entire plant is 4
i very valuable feed for nearly all J
classes of live stock and can be fed F
sconomically. For dairy cows, the
whole peanut makes almost a balinced
ration. Peanut hay, consisting
of the entire plant after the nuts
ire removed, has a much higher feedng
value than any of the grass hays
md about the same value as clover
4 J
lay. A good crop of peanuts grown
ior market should yield a ton or
unro h?>v tr> ar>rp
?' v~
When peantits are harvested for
narket hogs are usually turned into
:he field to glean whatever is left ^ .
ifter digging. Many growers fatten
;wo hogs on each acre of peanuts so
larvested.
Hogs fattened exclusively on pea-,
luts will not yield a desirable grade
>f meat or lard, as the meat will be
soft and the lard oily. By feeding
ilmost exclusively on com for the
ast two or three weeks of the fatening
period this difficulty will be
>vercome. Sweet potatoes and peamts
together make a good ration for
logs, the sweet potato furnishing the
tarbohydraftes and the peanut the 1 j
