Tobacco, Peanuts and Cotton for 1918
r; ;
Editors Bamberg Herald: I am
not a practical farmer, nor am I a
prophet, but it appears to me that
^ - this is an opportune time for the
? farmers to diversify their crops; especially
so in view of the anticipated
coming of the boll weevil and the
lack of potash. We can not expect a
crop of cotton in 1918 without potash
and with potash we can't have
1 J
a full crop if the weevil comes, w uum
it not be better to forestall these hindrances
by planting some cotton,
some peanuts and some tobacco in
1918? We have some as good tobacco
land as can be found within
the borders of South Carolina, and
if farmers will agree to plant say five
acres each I am satisfied that the
merchants will build a warehouse that
we may have a ready market for
what we make. In conversation recently
with a farmer from Williamsburg
county, I was told that in one
small town in the county the
farmers had on deposit more than
$2,000,000.00, and that the banks
were refusing to pay interest on deposits.
The peanut industry lias proven
successful in ^ Virginia and other
states and, while it may not be gen|
erally katfwn, there are more peanuts
1[ raj^ecTm Bamberg county than in any
tyffTer county in South Carolina. Any!
i?.i I
^ of our sandy lands wim some iauu j
jr planter will raise 40 to 50 bushels
per acre, and these peanuts will readily
bring $2.00 to $2.50 per bushel in
the markets.
If the farmers would agree to plant
say 10 acres each next year, 1 am
satisfied our ginneries will install the
thrashing machines and will also put
in the machinery to use the peanuts
here.
Some planters think no money can
be obtained from the banks except
K upon cotton as collateral. 1 am conf
fident that either of our banks here
will cooperate with the farmers looking
to an early diversification of
crops. If I can he of any service to
those interested. I shall be pleased to
. do all I can to help them and our
county in getting on the proper basis.
Don't spend all of your money expecting
a big cotton crop next year,
for you will be sadly disappointed.
Yours truly, H. M. GRAHAM.

Xa|K>leoii Died 9<? Years Ago.
On October 16, 1S15, Xapoleon
landed at St. Helena. He remained
until his death, May 21, 1S21. Nowhere
in the known world could the
Allies have found a more remote place
of imprisonment. The island, containing
but forty-five square miles,
is the summit of a tremendous mountain
that rises from the bottom of the
ocean, 4,000 miles from London and
more than 1,000 miles from the coasts
of Africa and South America, the
nearest continental land. The tiny
speck in the ocean where Xapoleon
lived for nearly six years seems to
typify his closing years, for St. Helena
is an ancient volcano that has
ceased to belch forth smoke and fire.
The overthrow of Napoleon naturally
caused a reconstruction of the
map of Europe, and in many ways
this reconstruction prepared the way
for the present titanic conflict. France
was shorn of the territories that the
Corsican had added. Holland was
set up as an independent kingdom,
which included modern Belgium, formerly
a possession of Austria. Switzerland
was declared independent, as
were many of the small Italian States,
but Austria, in compensation for the
loss of Belgium, was given great districts
in Northern Italy.
The Polish duchy of Warsaw was
given to Russia, and half of Saxony
was given over to Prussia. But there
were many more changes to be made
in the map of Europe before the stage
could be set for the present conflict,
and these we must briefly glance at j
to understand the present crisis.
Most important of these changes
have been the creation of the German
empire and the kingdom of Italy, j
Coupled with the former has been the
growth of Prussia and the disappearance
of many small and feeble Carman
States, as well as the absorption
of Schleswig-Holstein, important today
because the Kiel canal has been
constructed in that important neck of:
land. Austria has lost the hold that
it possessed on Northern Italy; i
France has had to relinquish Alsace |
and Loraine; Belgium has been created;
Turkey has been forced to grant
independence to Greece and the other
Balkan States. All these changes
have had much to do wth precipitating
the war of today, which may
cause the map of Europe to be made
over as radically as it was in 1815.
But the changes in boundaries were
not the only influence left behind
him by Napoleon. He had set up despotism
upon the ruins of the ancient
order, but it was a different despotism
than Europe had ever known before.
"I am revolution'' Napoleon
once said in one of those brief sentences
that show he was much more
than a brilliant general. He hated
that hart nnnressed the
HiC auuoto IUUV UMU ?
masses, and. he made it impossible |
for many of them to crop out again, [
not only in France, but in many of
the nations that had been hostile to
the French.
The old Bourbon line of kings was
restored in France, but the French
revolution and Napoleon had left the
nation a desire for democracy that
made it impossble to revive the
abuses fostered under Louis XIV. Napoleon's
rise to power shattered the
medieval theory that a man could not
rise above the class in which he had
been born. And the necessity for
struggling against his colossal ambition
to dictate to Europe had aroused
a spirit of nationality in hostile countries,
especially in Germany. Through
reforms he had introduced and his expressed
belief that a unity of Italy
was possible, Napoleon had also stirred
many Italans into a belief that
an independent Italy, free from foreign
domination was more than a
possibility. For a generation, however.
the conservatives were able to
keep stifled these sparks of democracy
that had been lighted by Napoleon.
But they could not extinguish them,
and the new and transformed Europe
of today owes much of its democratic
spirit to the influen'ce of Napoleon,
the most dominating, if not the most j
virtuous figure in modern history.

Whereas, God, in His infinite wisdom,
did on the morning of the 26th
ult., remove from us by death our beloved
brother, D. R. .Matheny;
And, whereas, we, the members
of the Bamberg Baptist church, of
which he was a valued member, desire
to place 011 record our feeling of
sadness in the loss we have sustained.
Therefore, be it resolved, that in
the death of Bro. .Matheny our church
has lost a most worthy member, the
community an honorable citizen, and
his family a tender and loving has- ;
band and father;
Resolved, further, that we extend
'our sympathy to the bereaved family,
and that a page in our minute book
be inscribed to his memory; also
that a copy of these resolutions be
published in our county papers and *
in the Baptist Courier.

It was with genuine sorrow that i
we learned of the death of .Mrs. \V. i
B. Moore. She was one of Ehrhardt's
most devout Christian women. She .
will be greatly missed by the church
of which she was a member, and by j
the entire community, to say nothing
of the home she left that will miss j
the sunshine of her Godly life. j
Whenever there was sickness in the ;
town she was there to comfort and j
nurse to health again. When there ;
was death she was there to close the !
eyes of the dead and to do what she j
could to console the broken hearted. !
Now, that her own eyes are closed in j
death, she will be greatly missed in i
her ministries of kindness, sympa- i
thy and love. As a neighbor, she j
was unexcelled by any. In the home, j
her's was a sweet queenly christian
spirit. Somebody has said that "God j
could not be everywhere in person. >
so he made mothers to represent |
him." She loved her little family |

will prove a blessing to others.

feed out voi r hogs
six weeks earlier.
In every lot of hogs on feed two or
three weeks quickly and actually eat
less than others. If all would fatten
like these, the entire drove would be
ready of the market six weeks
earlier and to save six weeks feed is
an item that you fully understand.
The hog that fattens easily must
be in prime physical condition. The
B. A. Thomas Hog Powder is a conditioner
for hogs. It keeps their
system clean and healthy and enables
them to fatten quickly without falling
a prey to the usual diseases of
hogs. The B. A. Thomas Hog
Powder is not stock food. It's
straight medicine, and we took the
agency because it enables you to feed

Oklahoma is the last state to be
heard from. Pellagra is very preval- :
ent out there and Sulferro-Sol, the
only dependable cure for Pellagra is
already firmly established in the confidence
of Oklahoma sufferers.
Mrs. Mattie Moore, of Sallisaw,
Okla.. writes to say "I suffered tor
tures with Pellagra for ever two
years, I was so weak and run down I
could not do my housework, and I
grew steadily worse in spite of all
that was being done for me."
"Sulferro-Sol had just been introduced
here and I tried it and am pro- *
foundlv glad I did, for I have only
taken three bottles and am nearly
well and feeling strong as can be and
doing all my own work again."
"Sulferro-Sol is surely a grand
medicine and those in my neighborhood
who have used it are lavish in
their praise of its great healing and
building power."
Sulferro-Sol is sold and recommended
by all druggists in Bamberg
