How to Cure Bright Leaf Tobacco.
.
\ Mr. J. J. Heard says he has reji
eeived so many requests for a formula
for the curing of bright leaf tobacco,
that he has prepared, from
numerous sources, the . following,
which a digest of expert opinions on
the subject:
"Start fire and get to 95 degrees
as soon as possible; stay from 95
to 100 for 18 hours; raise to 105
within three hours; the next three
hours go to 110. Let stand at 110
?Tfftl 1 flio-n
ItU 111 lUiklCW 19 UVflV/i UU J onu n , tuvmm.
- ? V
v raise 2% degrees per hour until
120 is reached. This period from
110 to 120 is the critical period; if
raised too slow it will sponge, if too
fast it will blister and blotch. Let
it stand at 120 for two hours to set
color; raise 2% to three degrees per
hour until 135 is reached. Remain
there until leaf is a}l dry, then raise
four or five degrees per hour until
180 or 200 is reached; remain there
until stems are all dry. Close up
barn and leave until you are ready
to put in next barn. If on going to
remove, it is too dry, open window
%
over night and let in moisture. This
Will put it in 'case'."

Abolish County Chaingangs.
%
As to whether or not the proposi
. . ,\
tion to work all convicts on the public
roads under State supervision is
the right thing we do not know; but
we do not mind saying that if it results
in the abolition of the county
chaingang we will be glad of that.
' v ' Nobody can claim that convict labor
is as economical as free labor, certainly
not convict labor under county
chaingang. conditions. The only
argument for the chaingang is the
necessity of having some way of takv
care of short term prisoners; but even
that argument is of doubtful force,
for as we see it, it would be cheaper
and more satisfactory to confine
these prisoners in jail than to attempt
to work them on the roads.?

MEMBER OF FAMOUS THIRTIETH
Bobbie Bennett Tells Some of Experiences
Fighting Frit*.
Editor Herald:?I thank you for
your kind letter in which you invite
me to write something of my experience
while in the overseas army. I
do not lay any claim to expert correspondence,
yet I shall try to give
you a few dots, which I hope may
interest your readers.
On Sept. 5, 1917, I was inducted
into the army of the United States,
and after a splendid reception tendered
us by the people of Bamberg,
nine of us left for Camp ' Jackson,
Columbia. There we stayed for one
month and were transferred to Camp
Sevier, Greenville, where we went
into rigorous training until May,
1918, we were transferred to Camp
Mills, N. Y., from which place we
very soon xeit ior Montreal, tauaua.
There we loaded on an English transport
ship for the scenes of the conflict
in Belgium and France.
I belonged to the grand old thirtieth
division that broke the Hindenburg
line Sunday, Sept. 29_, 1918. We
were brigaded with the British and
saw hard service from July until the
armistice was signed.
When we arrived in France we
found the French and British dis-!
pirited and almost ready to give in,
but the enthusiasm and dash of our;
boys very soon changed all this and;
brought confidence and established j
morale among them so that they:
came back to fight again.
The S. C. engineers, the 105th, saw
hard service and often worked under
heavy shell fire, and also machine
gun fire, and our losses were es-1
pecially heavy in the drive on Sept.
29 across the Hindenburg line, be-;
ing nearly half killed or wounded.
We were around Cambrai, St. j
Quentin, Perronne and many other j
places that were dearly fought with ;
allied blood and did our part to reclaim
these places from alien hands.
I saw the historic old cathedral at
Rheims, which, though, badly dam- j
aged by German shell fire, is yet;
pretty and imposing. - This old edifice
is situated on the banks of the
i
beautiful little river Somme that1
flows through Rheims.
The Germans are vandals and cruel,
but it must be said that they are
hard fighters and skilled in making
war. I also was in Belgium around
Ypres and other towns of importance,
also at the famous old hills called
Kemmell where we first saw service.
It wds in Belgium that we did our
first bit to help those people free
their most beautiful and fertile
country.
Old Fritz rained shot and shell on
us from above and every other place,
but we called him, and went him one
better every attempt he made. I'll,
^ive you more observations in a future
issue of The Herald.
Before I close I must say that
thank all my friends for the kindly
way in which they have spoken of
me and for the interest they have j
taken in me. May I add that among
the souvenirs that I have and will always
remember, is a slight gun shot
woum^in the neck and a very good!
dose of German gas, from which I
am now recovering.

HERO'S MEDAL PRESENTED.
??? 7
Gold Medal Given to Mother of Corp.
Jas. 1). Hei*iot. v
Sumter, Feb, 24.?One of the five
congressional - medals of honor
awarded to South Carolina soldiers
in the world war was won by a boy
in whom Sumter county is proud to
assert a part claim. James Davison
Heriot, was born and reared in
that part of the county that has since
gone to make up Lee county. Corporal
Heriot did not live to know of
the honor he won October 2t> 1918.
when near Vaux-Andignv on the i
French front he. unaided, put to rout |
a German machine gun nest. He j
knew that success crowned his brave i
deed, but he fell in a similar attempt
later in the day, probably unmindful j
that this conception of his duty had
been marked as anything outj
of the ordinary. Saturday, February
22, following a simple
ceremony the congressional medal
was placed in the hands of the
i boy's mother, Mrs. Carrie C. Heriot,
by Maj. Gen. Henry G. Sharpe, in
charge of the Southeastern department,
with headquarters at Charleston.
The presentation was made at the
residence of Mrs. H. T. Abbott on
North Washingtonstreet, where
Mrs. Heriot and her sons, Robert L.
Heriot and Joseph C. Heriot, met
General Sharpe and his aide, Lieut.
W. C. Bacon, by appointment. The'
ceremony was simple. General
Sharpe read the citation for which
the medal was given and the rules
governing the wearing of the medal.
He then returned to the hotel and
Mrs. Heriot and her sons left for
their home near Providence. The
medal is of heavy gold, in the form
of a cross. A chalice of laurel leaves
is wound around the face of the medal
and the name of the winner is on
the bar across it. On the reverse
' * -_j ? r i-T?
side is tne date ana name ui me
place at which the cited deed was
performed.
Corporal Heriot was a member of
the 118th infantry, Company I. He
was wounded 'at the battle of VauxAndfgnv,
France, and later on in the
same day was killed while storming
alone a. machine gun position. He
was awarded the distinguished service'cross
by (?en. John J. Pershing,
but later the medal of honor, the
highest decoration of the American
government, was awarded by con-'
gress.
The following is the official citation
appearing in general orders No.
13, of the war department:
"James D. Heriot, corporal, Company
I, 118th infantry. For conspic-j
uous gallantry and intr.epidity above
and beyond the call of duty in action
with the enemy at Vaux-Andigny,
France, October 12, 1918. Corporal
Heriot, with other soldiers,
1 organized a combat group and attacked
an enemy machine-gun nest
which had been inflicting heavy casualties
on his company. In the ac'l\
vance two of his men were killed,
and because of the heavy fire from
all sides the remaining two sought
shelter. Unmindful of the hazard attached
to his mission, Corporal Heriot,
with fixed bayonet alone charged
[ the machine gun, making his way
through the fire for a distance* of
thirty yards, and forcing the enemy
to surrender. During this exploit he
received several wounds in the arm,
and later in the same day, while
charging another nest he was killed."
Corporal Heriot was a brother of
Mrs. St. Clair P. Guess, of Denmark.
The Passing of the Tramp.
Professional "touching" in the
streets has gone out of style. He is
brave enough to be a soldier who
i
begs these days "enough to get a
bite to eat and a bunk for the night."
Rravpr still is he who has the nerve
to ask for a nickel or a dime to buy
a drink. Drinking hasn't exactly
gone out of style, but it is going
mighty fast.
Surely the war us proving it is an
ill wind that blows nobody good. Out
of the war emergency has come the
"work or fight" order. It affects only
men of the draft age officially, but it
is having a wholesome effect on men
of all ages who are able to work.
As begging has gone out of style,
work has come into style. That
means that a lot of men who had
lost their self-respect are regaining
it. It means that the congenially
lazy chap is learning that there is
something worth while after all in
earning one'-? own way in the world
instead of expecting the world to see
that he gets a living without paying
anything for it.?Minneapolis Tribune.

"Are you doing anything to bring
about the higher altruism?" inquired
Professor Thinksthinks.
"I don't believe we've got any of
that in stock just now," replied Grocer
Diggs frankly; "but if we have
you can bet your life I'm in favor of
makin' it higher."
CARD OF THANKS.
I
I wish to take this method of expressing
to my friends my sincere
thanks for their many acts of kindness
and their expressions of sympathy
during the last illness of my
wife and after her recent death.

1918."'
, Just a few months ago you left us
I And went to heaven above
And I hope to meet you there
I In the happy land of love.
We mourn our dearcrdlhrdlhrdlum
We mourn the loss of our dear sister,
| As we did our best to save;
; Beloved on earth, regretted, gone,
j Remembered in the grave.
I often sit and think of you,
j When I am all alone,
i For memory is the only thing
|' That grief can call its own.
i
You are not forgotten, dearest sister,
I Nor will you ever be,
So long as life and memory lasts i
j We will think of thee.
You suffered much, yet murmured
not;
I We watched you day by day*
Until at last broken-hearted,
We knew you passetf away.
Dearest sister, you are remembered
I But comfort it's hard to find,
Although you are absent,
| You are always on our minds.
Sleep on dearest sister?
Oh how sweet to breathe thy name.
In life we loved you true and dearly
j In death we do the same.
Heaven retained one treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps
Sunbeams love to linger,
WherA our dear sister sleeps.
There was an angel band in heaven
That was not quite complete;
1 So God took our dear sister
To fill the vacant seat.
Not in anger, not in wrath,
The reaper came that day,
'Twas for a place in Paradise
He loved the flower away.
'Tis hard to break the tender cord
When love has bound the heart,
'Tis hard, so hard, to spea* tne
word,
We must forever part.
