THE COUNTY AGENT.
We are informed that the federal
appropriation for the maintenance
of the farm demonstration service
has been reduced, and that in order
for Bamberg county to continue to
have a county farm demonstration
. jigent it will be necessary for the fed- j
eral appropriation to be supplemented
by an appropriation from the
county. This matter has been presented
to the county legislative delegation,
and two of the delegation
have agreed to supplement the sum
alloted to Bamberg county. The
third member has declined to agree
Jo a county appropriation for this
purpose, and the appropriation cannot
be secured without his consent.
Mr. George R. Briggs, the county
agent, will not remain?cannot remain?unless
this appropriation is secured.
If the farmers of Bamberg
county desire the retention of Mr.
Briggs, they -hould write at once to
each member of the delegation to
request that this appropriation?
$800, we believe is the amount?be
made at the next general assembly.
*\1V ha?: been here for a long
enough period for the people of the
country to know whether or not they
desire him to remain. If he has been
of such service to the farmers as to
warrant his remaining here, let them
say so, and write immediately to
each of the legislative delegates requesting
them to make the necessary
appropriation.
The county now appropriates $600,
we understand, to supplement the
salary of the home demonstration
agent. Surely the county is not too
poor to do the same thing for the
farm demonstration agent. The government
says that it is willing to pay
the greater portion of the agent's
salary, if the county will pay the re?
mainder/
It appears to us that if the^ounty
ever needed a county agent, now is
the time. The presence throughout
the county of the boll weevil will
make it absolutely necessary to plant
crops other than cotton. The agent
^ is in touch with the methods of beat'
ing the weevil,in other sections and
can be of valuable assistance to the
farmers in this line. And, then, there
is the hog industry, which is so important
just now. We understand
that Mr. Briggs has inoculated, free
of charge, hogs to the value of thousands
of dollars. This service alone
would doubtless pay his salary several
times over. These farmers would
have had to pay liberally for this
service if it had b'een done by anyone
else.
If you want your county agent to
remain in Bamberg county, write
V
your delegation: Mr. B. W. Miley, at
I' Bamberg; Dr. J. B. Black, at Bamberg,
and Mr. W. L. Riley, at Denmark.
Do this at once.

SWEET POTATOES.
Inasmuch as other crops than cotton
have now become a necessity in
the county, many farmers 'are investigating
the possibilities of the sweet
potato as a money crop. The difficulty
is, as we understand it, that potatoes
have not been properly "cured"
for the market in this section.
The old plan of banking potatoes is
all right for home use, but such potatoes
cannot be marketed, because
they rot quickly after beine taken
from the banks.
/- A ? i T ~
dome imprest nas ueen aiuuscu m
the county because of the suggestion
that tobacco barns can be used to
cure sweet potatoes. This appears
to be a new suggestion, and has not
been thoroughly tried out. Some of
the farm experts who have recently
visited Bamberg county, are of the
opinion that these barns may be used
for this purpose, by making some
slight changes, without in any way
damaging the barn for the purpose
for which it is built.
The farm demonstration service is
now at work on the idea, and the
results of investigations along this
line will be made known through the
county agents at an early date,
agents at an early date.
The sweet potato is one of the
easiest crops grown, and one of the
most prolific ih this section. If the
sweet potato can be prepared for
shipping profitably in this county it
will undoubtedly be one of the county's
mose valuable crops. We doubt
if there is any section of the entire
country where finer crops of sweet
j potatoes can be grown than in Bam|
berg county.

There's just one man more powerful
than the president now. That
man gives the president instructions
and the president has to follow his
orders. This man is Dr. Grayson, the
president's physician. Dr. Grayson
has ordered the president to discontinue
his speaking itinerary in the interest
of the peace treaty and the
league of nations, and the president
is now at the white house trying to
recover from a breakdown from overwork.
t
The one theme in the mind of
President Wilson is the ratifying of
the treatj^of peace and the covenant
of the league of nations. The president
has established an ideal, and is
leaving no stone unturned, so far as
it is in his nower. to accomDlish this
end." That the league of nations will
not bring forth the millenium, there
is scarcely any room for doubt, but
that it will be an improvement over
the present condition of the world
ought to be apparent. Herbert Hoover
says that there can be no peace
treaty without a league, and he further
adds that the peace treaty ought
to be ratified and to be ratified at
once, as Bolshevism is at present on
the wane, but -that it will come forth
again in all its fury unless something
is done immediately to establish
peace in the world again. ? *

Special Service Held at Trinity Sum
day School Sunday Afternoon.
What was, to the writer's way of
thinking, one of the very best services
ever held in the Methodist Sunday
school here was the one on Sun
day afternoon. The programme took
the nature of a welcome service to all
! strangers in our midst, among wfcpm
are the teachers of Carlisle and the
graded and high school, and the students
of the Carlisle school. Then,
we might add, this service was held
with a two-fold purpose in view,
namely: To. bring together our
forces with a mind to work and to

worship after the long, hot months of
the past summer, when we seemed to
go to sleep, so to speak.
Our faithful superintendent, .Mr.
| A. B. Utsey, was happy in the selecI
tion of the two speakers who brought
J to the large congregation live, vital
j messages, and in the selection of Mr.
! T. B. Minis, of the Carlisle school,
! who spoke in behalf of the student
i body of their appreciation of the
j kindness shown them by the people
! of the town. It is a foregone con;
elusion that his words of gratitude
I ought to make the people who reside
; here think and then act as if we are
j really glad to have these splendid
; young men in our town and in our
| churches./
| The welcome address was made by
| one of our young citizens, Mr. J.
| can i\earse. 111 a nappy uiauuw,
| he spoke of how glad we are to have
i such an addition of new blood in our
! midst, students who have come to
\ one of the very best preparatory
: schools in the Southern States, a
i school that has a worthy history be|
hind it. He referred to Carlisle
I school as being, as every thinking
j Bambergian knows, one of the very
I biggest assets that our little town
\
1 has. He further enlarged /upon the
I glorious and yet serious work that is
j to be done by the Sunday school in
j rightly shaping the characters of
! these young men.
j Mrs. H. N. Folk favored us with a
! beautiful and appropriate solo. All
I through the afternoon, songs by the
j congregation were heartily sung.
ATr. .J. Arthur Wiggins, of Den1
mark, a man who stands high in both
! civic and religious affairs in our
j county, addressed us on "'.Does it Pay
! to Attend Sunday School?" This was
i quite an earnest addres-; on a most
; vital subject. Before he concluded,
I at least many of his hearers came to
I
1 the conclusion that it does pay to
! attend Sunday school.
The thing that was unique and out:
standing about this gathering was the
: way the young men were welcomed,
j The town people sat on every other
j row while the students occupied the
j benches between. At a signal from
! the presiding officer, the home peo
i pie were asked to rise and turn their
; backs upon the chancel. Of course,
j we were still guessing. Finally, the
| young men were asked to stand. Now j
| standing face to fare the town people
i shook hands with the strangers before
us, and after further voicing
; our welcome, they responded with
! "We are glad to be here."
This being the time to bring in our
orphanage work day money, we are
told that almost two hundred dollars
were raised for this most worthy in- j
stUution.
In view of the needs of the school \
and the spirit of the times, we are of
the opinion that this service should
i be both fruitful and stimulating.?
