A trainload of naval militia passed
through Bamberg Sunday afternoon,
presumably en route to Charleston.
The train attracted quite a good deal
of notice at the sailors passed
through.
Spring gardens are most promising.
The weather has been very favorable
to gardening this spring, and
people are planting large gardens as
a measure of preparedness against
high food prices.
The Woman's Missionary society
of the Methodist church will meet at
the church next Tuesday afternoon at
four o'clock. A delegate to the
State meeting will be elected, and a

following were elected representatives
to the grand lodge, which convenes
in May at Union: U. G. Hutto
and H. L. Hinnant; Dr. J. B. Black
and H. C. Folk, alternates.

A voluntary petition of bankruptcy
was filed by Wildon W. Cain, of Denmark,
Tuesday morning in the United
States district court. The liabilities
of the bankrupt were $1,249.60,
while the assets totaled, $766.82. The
adjudication and order of reference
followed immediately.
Supervisor McMillan requests us to
state that all parties must stop plowing
or dragging their plows into public
or improved roads. It costs the
county a lot of money to build roads,
and this money is wasted if plowhands
continue to drag their plows
at the ends of rows into the roads.

is thought to have been started by
rats and matches.?tfarnweu reupie.
Mr. J. D. McAlhaney, who lives
near Branchville, stated to a repre>

Robert Lathan to Speak Here.
Robert Lathan, editor of the Charleston
News and Courier, will speak
in Bamberg next Monday, April 16th,
on the subject of civic preparedness.
Mr. Lathan was selected by Governor
.Manning's preparedness committee
recently selected to prepare South
Carolina for the war that has just
started between this country and Germany.
That Mr. Lathan, who is a gifted
speaker and writer, will have an important
message for the people of
Bamberg county there is no doubt,
and we trust that there will be a
large crowd to hear him. There will
be a special message for the farmers,
who are urged to do their bit for
their country. The hoe and plow is
going to be as important a factor in
this war as powder and shrapnel,
and the speaker will endeavor to
show the farmers the best method of
serving their country in this manner.
Arrested for Violent Talk.
William Smith, alias Schmitt, a
stranger, is detained at Fairfax, on
charges of using violent language in
reference to President Wilson, ac- J
cording to information a citizen telephoned
yesterday to the governor's
office.
Smith was said to have used such
terms in the presence of other passengers
on a railway train that when
Fairfax was reached his arrest was
procured. Stenographic notes of his
remarks were taken, the governor's
I office was informed, and these will be
available for use at a preliminary inquiry.?Columbia
State.
HOW TO BKAT THE WEEVIL.
H. I*. Barton .Made Instructive Address
Thursday.
That the people of South Carolina
spend annually more than seventyfive
millions of dollars for foodstuffs:
that they spend annually thirty millions
of dollars for fertilizers?much
of it uselessly; that the boll weevil is
certain to come; that the weevil is
going to cause devastation, and that
thousands of people are going to be
ruined by the weevil, are some of
I the startling statements made last
Thursday by Mr. H. P. Barton, who
made an address to the farmers and
business men of Bamberg and vicinity.
Dr. W. W. Long was expected to
come to Bamberg and address the
farmers, but Dr. Long was too ill to
come Thursday, so he sent "his first
lieutenant," as Dr. Watson described
him, Mr. Barton, a man who is thoroughly
versed about the boll weevil,
| and about farm conditions in general.
While it was very regrettable that
I Dr. Long could not be present, Mr.
Barton's hearers were in no manner
disappointed.
i Unfortunately for Bamberg county,
the meeting was not well attended.
This was due in a large measure,
no doubt, to the fact that Thursda>
morning was very inclement. Hard
I rains had fallen throughout the
morning and the night before, and
even while Mr. Barton was speaking,
the rain was falling in a downpour,
accompanied by severe wind and
thunder.
The speaker was introduced by
Dr. Watson, on behalf of the Chamber
of Commerce, under whose
I auspices Dr. Long had been invited
to come to Bamberg.
Mr. Barton stated at the outset
that the millions we are sending
away for foodstuffs, produce, etc.,
and fertilizers are, for the largest
part, uselessly spent. In other
words, the foodstuffs should be produced
at home, and the fertilizer bill
may be cut to almost nothing by conserving
the energy of the lands and
rotating leguminous and non-leguminous
crops. By this means, said the
speaker, the fertilizer cost may be
cut two-thirds, at least.
Twenty years ago, said .Mr. Barton,
about 54 per cent, of the farmers
in this State owned their homes;
at this time only about thirty per
cent, own their plantations. The farmers
are gradually starving themselves
by planting cotton, and Mr.
Barton said that he sometimes feels
like thanking God for the boll weevil.
The weevil will force the farmers
to adopt different methods of
farming, will force them to cooperate
one with the other, and will compel
them to raise more foods and
less cotton.
Without a doubt, said he, the weevil
is going to cause ruin to thousands
of farmers; at the same time,
with the continuation of the present
method of cotton farming, even without
the coming of the weevil, the
ruin would be to tens of thousands,
instead of thousands. Between cotton
and the boll weevil, Mr. Barton
said he would take the weevil every
time.
Some very interesting charts were
exhibited by the speaker. One of
these contained statistics on the result
of the coming of the weevil to
the State of Louisiana. In Baton
Rouge county, before the weevil appeared,
in round figures, 38,000 bales
of cotton were produced; the weevil
cut these figures to 944 bales. In
another county, 57,000 bales were
produced before the weevil came,
and 15,000 afterward. Still another
county produced, before, 36,000
bales; after 2,000, etc. The point
the speaker wished to emphasize
with this chart was that in the lower
counties of South Carolina the conditions
are practically the same -as
in Louisiana?in fact conditions here
are just a little more favorable to
the weevil than in Louisiana. What,
then, may be expected in South Carolina
after the weevil is here?
And the weevil is coming. It is
useless to argue with or seek to benelt
those persons who persist in saving
that the weevil is a myth, and
j will never come; it is better to let
j such people alone. Thousands are
going to be ruined anyway; might as
well let them be among the ruined,
and turn our attention to those who
have listening ears.
Emphasizing the need for planting
food crops, Mr. Barton said that the
wheat crop all over the world is
short this year, and he urged everybody
to plant plentifully of something
to eat. He even urged city
residents to employ their back yards
for gardens, if they could do no better.
Another chart compared the raising
of cattle in South Carolina with j
ctofo nf imva Tn tliis State onlv
L otait \j L .... _
one cattle is raised to every 35 acres
of land; one dairy cow to every 75
acres, and one hog to every 20 acres.
In Iowa one cattle is raised to every
7 1-2 acres and one hog to every
4 1-2 acres. Conditions are favorable
here to cattle raising, and this
is a much neglected industry. Mr.
Barton said that since this chart had
been prepared, swine raising had increased
a great deal, on account of
better marketing conditions, and the
prospects of ready sales to the two
South Carolina packing houses soon
to be ready for business.
Another chart, which told in mute
words exactly what cotton raising
had done for the State, and how we
were neglecting other things, contained
the statistics on the number
of horses, mules, cattle, dairy cows,
hogs and sheep that had been raised
annually since 1850. The chart
showed the figures for each tenth
year, and disclosed the startling fact
that, with the exception of mules,
there had been each year a gradual
reduction in the number of each of
the above named. Fewer horses, cattle,
dairy cows, hogs and sheep were
raised in 1910, the last year given,
than in 1850. An increase was
shown in the number of mules raised.
The use of various materials for.
bedding for stables was discussed,
and the relative value as fertilizer of
such materials was given. He wished
trt rominH thp farmers, lmwever.
that the use of stable manure, while
of great value to the land, could not
be termed a land builder, since it
was robbing one portion of the place
to enrh'h another. The use of manure
is por the purpose of land conservation?holding
on to what you
already have. The secret of land
building lay in planting leguminous
crops.
Mr. Barton favors the teaching of
agriculture in the public schools.
His department finds that it is impossible
to reach, under existing conditions,
more than ten per cent, of
the farmers by means of county
demonstrators, and he thinks the salvation
of the farming industry could
be effected by teaching the children
agriculture. The buying of nitrogen,
said the speaker, is foolish, when it
can be had so easily and cheaply by
planting the proper crops.
South Carolina, said the speaker,
can raise just as fine mules as can
Kentucky or anywhere else. He related
how one South Carolina farmer
had raised a fine three-yearold
mule, weighing twelve hundred
pounds, and when asked
nw mucn n noaa iaKeu iu ia.iac
this mule replied that the animal had
eaten fifteen pounds of peavine hay,
ten ears of corn and a quart of cottonseed
meal a day, and that was all.
Getting down to the crux of the
boll weevil situation, Mr. Barton
urged his hearers not to continue to
plant cotton on the theory that they
would "make a killing." In the boll
weevil infested country, thousands of
farmers had tried this with the result
that they did make a killing?
but it was of the suicide variety.
Farmers can, however, take a chance
on planting six acres of cotton to one
plow. Velvet beans he considers the
greatest crop of the South. Abruzzi
rye is another fine crop for this State.
The planting of velvet beans was
stressed by the speaker as a means
of combating the weevil. These
hoane said will Droduce almost
as much as the corn in which they
are planted. The beans can be gathered
any time to suit the convenience
of the farmers, as they do not easily
decay. They may be harvested as
late as February without being in
any way damaged.
The proper rotation of a one-horse
farm was given by Mr. Barton as follows:

5 corn and peas, 2

By following this plan, which was
the one approved by the department
of agriculture, .Mr. Barton believes
that the conditions would be ideal
for meeting and fighting the weevil.
This plan is, of course, to be adopted
on the arrival of the weevil.
Farmers will have to plant their
cotton early and plant early varieties
in order to beat the weevil. It will
be necessary to have the crop made
in July, as August and September are
ideal weevil months. A severe winter,
such as the past one, may almost

Bamberg Visitor Detained.
Blackville, April 7.?Blackville is *
j excited tonight over a "spy scare," a
German being detained while his papers
are investigated by the district
attorney's office. Carl Nessler, of
422 Livingstone street, Elizabeth, N.
J., was halted by Constable Luther
Stivender and is now being held at a
Blackville hotel. Nessler says he was /
born in Germany but came to the
i United States 25 years ago. He was
married in Akron, Ohio, and later returned
to Germany. He came back *
to the United States ten years ago.
His wife is now running a boarding
; house in Elizabeth, N. J. He has
never sought citizenship in the United
States. The man has a nhvsiciaji's
certificate that he has been advised
to visit the South for his health and
his baggage included numerous remedies
for asthma. Mayor O'Gorman
telegraphed the mayor of Elizabeth
for news of Nessler and was advised
that he is "above suspicion."
Mr. Nessler has been in Bamberg
! for several weeks, having come here,
i he said, for his health. It is understood
that he has been released from

be in fine shape to ruin the cotton
