Wht Pamticrg geralb Thursday, October 16,1919 SHORT LOCALS. Brief Items of Interest Throughout the Town and County. I The Woman's Missionary society of the Methodist church will meet at the church next Tuesday afternoon ?at 5 o'clock. Every member is urged to be present and on time. Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Hollifield have moved into the residence formerly occupied by Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Fox, on Midway avenue. Mr. Fox has moved to the Lodge section. * - - r\n thp tiOOCl progress is ict?ui?-u v--- , construction of the highway through j Bamberg county. The weather for the past few weeks has been favorable for the work, which will be completed at an early date. Mr. B. C. Bishop, of Ehrhardt, a student at Newberry college, has been elected a member of the student council of the college, to enforce the rules of the honor system, recently adopted in that institution. Mr. F. K. Graham has rented the store now occupied by the M. E. Aver company, and will move his stock of furniture there on January 1. The store now occupied by Mr. Graham . * will be occupied after the first of > the year by the Kearse-Pddgett company. County Farm Agent George R. Briggs has inoculated during the past several weeks 1,675 hogs against cholera. At market prices, the value of these hogs is $23,450. If ten per cent, of these hogs were saved from cholera, Mr. Briggs has saved the county $2,345. The first issue of the Carlisle Bugle was printed last Friday on the presses of The Herald. The paper is eight pages in size, has a liberal advertis'ng patronage, and is quite neat and attractive. The staff assures us that there will be an improvement in the paper from week to week. Clerk of Court A. L. Kirkland calls our attention to the fact that though the register for soldiers, sailors and marines has been in his office for sev- . eral weeks, only twelve have registered. If the young service men knew how difficult it is for some of the Confederate veterans to establish v # the fact of their service in order to get pensions they would realize the importance of registering with the clerk of court. * Destroy Cotton Stalks. ' } ?? From now until frost every effort should be made to destroy cotton stalks and thereby get rid of many ' boll weevils, many in the egg stage, some worms or larvae and pupae and also some adults will be destroyed. The weevil has small power to over* come being buried under about four inches of soil. If it is not possible to break the stalks while green or to cut with hoe get a stalk bender such as has beep used in Alabama with good effect. W. E. Hinds, entomologist, Auburn, Ala., wiirgive the address of the manufacturer of this stalk bender. Stalks may be burned if the infestation is severe, although tne soil loses valuable humus. I have examined cotton fields in x several sections of the county during the past few days and on every farm examined I found either some punctured forms or grubs or else some mature weevils. I do not think there are now practically any farms in the county without a few weevils in one or more stages of development. Fall plowing is an advantage any/ * way and with most of the cotton gathered no time should be lost in getting rid of your cotton stalks. I have a number of bulletins on , - tobacco and some on "Growing Peanuts in Alabama," which I will send out on application. I also have the names of parties manufacturing pea nut pickers. The first carload of woven wire fencing bought cooperatively is almost completed for farmers in the vicinity of Denmark. If you desire wire at low prices, which you must have for more livestock raising, write at once to the county agent at Bamberg for prices, stating height desired. Write at once if you live in the vicinity of Denmark. Cooperative carloads will also be ordered later from vicinity of Ehrhardt and Olar. GEO. R. BRIGGS, ?

OFFICER KILLS NEGRO. Kirk Antley Iieat Chief Moody With Officer's Club. Saturday afternoon about seven o'clock, while resisting arrest, Kirk Antley, a negro ex-soldier from Orangeburg county, was shot and killed by Chief of Police Henry W. .Moody, on one of the business streets of Bamberg. The inquest over- the dead negro's body was held Sunday morning, the verdict being that Antley "came to his death from pistol shot wound at the hands of H. \V. .Moody, in the full discharge of his duty." Leadine un to the affair, it is saia I that Antley and another negro, Peter Crum, had run into a buggy of another colored man with an automobile. Chief Moody arrested Crum without difficulty and put him in jail. A pistol was taken off of Crum by the chief. After locking up Crum, the chief went back to arrest Antley. Before firing the shot, Antley had strudk the chief on the head with the chief's club, which the negro had taken from the officer, and inflicted painful injuries, and witnesses testified that the j^egro was making for the chief-when the shot was fired. It is said that Antley bears a very unsavory reputation, and that this is not the first time that he has created trouble. The following is the testimony of the two witnesses at the inquest: C. R. Armstrong, being duly sworn, testified as follows: "Mr. Henry W. Moody, chief of police of the town of Bamberg, on last Saturday afternoon in Bamberg deputized me to assist in arresting Kirk Antley. Kirk Antley resisted arrest. Mr. bloody coming up, Antley took Moody's stick and hit Moody across the head, and said to Mr. Moody, 'I am the man for you, you Moody fell against the buggy wheel on the ground, and the negro Antley tried to stamp Mr. Moody in the face. Moody said, 'For God's sake, boys, help me, this man will kill me.' Moody fired one shot as he lay on the ground and the negro trying to stamp him; the negro still resisted arrest and fought. I think another shot was fired by Mr. Moody. The negro, Kirk Antley, resisted Arrest and fought until he fell, and continued resisting arrest and fighting, even after he was down. When Moody shot the second time, the man, Kirk Antley, was getting up and making for Moody. The negro showed Considerable strength." W. M. Brabham, Jr., testified as follows: "I was standing at Copeland's corner about fifty yards away when the trouble arose with the negro Kirk Antley. The first thing I noticed, I saw the negro Kirk Antley hit Mr. Moody with a stick and saw the stick fly up. I then ran down to the scene. When I got there, I saw Mr. Moody lying under the buggy, with blood all over his head. Mr. Moody said: 'For God's sake, boys, help me, ne is going to kill me.' The negro was trying to stamp Mr. Moody in the head. I ran around and caught hold of the negro and tried to pull him off of Mr. Moody. The negro got away from me, and then it looked as if the negro was making for Mr. Melody. I then heard a pistol fire. Did not see who fired the shot." WORKERS PLAN CAMPAIGN. Bamberg Baptists Getting Ready for Big Canvass Next Month. A conference of campaign workers and representatives of Bamberg county was held Tuesday at the Bamberg Baptist church to discuss the methods and means to successfully carry out the canvassing for the $75v000,000 campaign. Dr. C. E. Burts and Dr. C. A. Jones, both of Columbia, and Mr. T. 0. Lawton, of Greenville, were present to address the conference. There are fourteen churches in the county and they were well represented at the conference. All the ministers also were present. Dr. Jones, the first speaker, laid great stress on being informed about the task that is before the Baptists and assured the teams that will do the soliciting that it will be very important that they be ready to answer any questions, and to be so enthusiastic over their work that they will dream about it. Dr. Burts gave some of the needs of the campaign. He spoke of what the war had done for the people of America and said that out of gratitude to God we should give all if necessary. Mr. Lawton, who is a very consecrated layman, spoke of what a privilege it is to be able to give and to do in this great work. He was very earnest in his remarks. The meeting was marked by deep spiritual tone and enthusiasm. After the conference, a delightful dinner was served at the church. Bamberg county is well organized and is hard at work on the task of instruction and preparation for the big drive. TO ERADICATE MALARIA. Citizens Vote to Have the Work Done.?Unusual Opportunity. The first step toward the eradication of malaria in Bamberg was started several days ago, when Dr. H. R. Carter, assistant United States surgeon general, and Captain L. M. Fisher, representing the United States public health service and the State board of health, arrived here to make a preliminary survey of the city. The preliminary work has now been completed, and Captain Fisher, who has had the active work in charge in making the survey, has gone to Hartsville, where a similar project is under way. Captain Fisher will return to Bamberg next week. Dr. Carter spent several-days in the city last week, giving personal attention to the requirements of Bamberg which will be necessary to destroy the anopheles mosquito, and thereby eradicate malaria. During the absence of Captain Fisher, it is up to the people of Bamberg to decide whether or not they desire the work to be done. If nothing is done to indicate to the health authorities the desire for the work to be carried on, there will be no further action by these gentlemen, and their efforts to rid the State of mosquitoes will de directed elsewhere. Mr. A. M. Brabham, who has given valuable assistance to the health officers during their stay in Bamberg, and who is a member of the Bamberg board of health, at the request of Dr. Carter and Captain Fisher, called a meeting of as many citizens Monday afternoon as could be reached on short notice. The purpose of the meeting was to ascertain, if possible, the sentiment of the people of the city with reference to malaria eradication. This meeting decided unanimously that it was the sense of those present that the project should be uridertaken at the earliest possible date, and in order to get the matter in better shape a committee was appointed to present the proposition to the, city council for official approval and to acquaint the people with the purposes and aims of the project and to take such other action as they deem wise. Another meeting of the citizens has been called for next Monday at 6:00 p. m., at which time it is expected that Captain Fisher will be present and present the matter niore thoroughly. Captain Fisher, in company with Mr. Brabham, has gone over the entire territory in Bamberg aiid for one mile surrounding the town, which will incorporate the'zone to be cleaned of mosquitoes, and has made an approximate estimate of the cost of the work to be undertaken. He has thoroughly investigated conditions here, and the next step will be taken only after the citizens endorse the project. In this event the town will be mapped out for the proper drainage to accomplish the destruction of mosquitoes.. It was stated at the meeting Monday afternoon that in the event the city decides to have this important work undertaken, there will be available a fund from the Rockefeller foundation, the International health service, and the United States public health service. For the present year there is available from this source the sum of $10,000 for this State. As only two projects will be undertaken in South Carolina this year, this fund will be divided between the two cities selected for demonstration. Hartsville is the other city where the work will be carried on, but as that city is practically free, already, of malarial mosquitoes, only about $2,000 will ,be spent of the $10,000 fund there. This will leave available for Bamberg about $8,000. It was explained at the meeting that Bamberg can only hope to secure $8,000 from this source by taking immediate action. If the project is deferred until next year, it is likely that many other cities in the State will be only too glad to avail themselves of the opportunity of partici pating in the fund. This would reduce the amount that would be available to Bamberg, and in the event of large expenditures being necessary in any of the other cities selected for demonstration, it might practically eliminate Bamberg from any participation at all in the fund. If the city decides to have the work done, the entire matter will be supervised by Captain Fisher, or some other government engineer, and the city would have the benefit of absolute government supervision, at no cost to Bamberg. The meeting was called to order by C. W. Rentz, after which W. E. Free, Esq., was elected chairman, and R. M. Hitt, secretary. The chairman called on Mr. Rentz to state the object of the meeting, which was outlined as above stated. He stated that the health officers desire to know thrt sentiment of the people in regard to the matter before proceed?? * Smoak-Goodwin. Cope, Oct. 12.?The happy culmination of a romantic courtship which has been the center of attraction to the large circle of friends of the young couple was the pretty home wedding last Sunday at Cope, at which time Miss Mattie Smoak, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Smoak, became the bride of Franklin B. Goodwin, of Bamberg. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. E. I\. Garrison, of Bamberg. At a late hour the happy bride and groom boarded the train for an extensive trip North, after which they will reside at their home near Bamberg.

JDon't fail to see the Law of Nature at the LaVictoire Theatre Oct. 21.?adv. ing further. Mr. A. M. Brabham stated that it had been estimated that it would cost in approximate figures from $20,to $25,000 to thoroughly clean up Bamberg to eradicate the malarial germs. He stated that the officers told him that if Bamberg does not care to go into the matter they would go to some other city where the work is desired. Short talks were made by a number of those present, all of the speakers being of one accord, that the work must be done by all means. Some reference was made to combin-* ing the project with a sewerage system for the city. It was explained by Mr. Brabham, who had talked along this line with the health officers, that as much as sewerage is desired in Bamberg, it would be most dangerous to wait until the time (omes when sewerage will be possible to carry out the eradication programme; that in order to get-sewerage it would require the passage of a bond issue, which would probably require months, ana tnai at uesi it would be well into next year before there could be a possibility of a sewerage system in Bamberg. Dr. Carter and Captain Fisher had statea after investigating conditions here that -the eradication of malaria is of more importance than any other project that is being agitated in Bamberg at this time. The meeting culminated in passing the motion above referred to, by which the chairman was directed to appoint a committee. The chairman announces the personnel of this committee as follows: C. W. Rentz, chairman, Mrs. G. Frank Bamberg, Mrs. John H. Cope, Mrs. J. C. Lewis, R. M. Hitt, and A. M. Brabham, presence of a large number of Bamberg ladies, who took a lively interest in the proceedings. Quite a few colored people were also present, who voted to a man for the work to be undertaken, thereby showing their civic interest in Bamberg, and their own as well as the public's health. It appears from the statements that have been made in regard to this matter that Bamberg has been presented with a most unusual opporA" ttta nnHflrQhnH the mat LUI11LJ AS TY u UUVftVA WVV? ter, the State board of health is especially desirous that Bamberg should undertake this work at this time; in fact statements have been made attributing to the State board of health the wish to make of Bamberg a model for the balance of the State. It is the desire of the health authorities, of course, that the entire State shall take advantage of the programme offered, but as it is possible to start with only one big project, Bamberg has the very extraordinary opportunity of availing itself of the eradication work now, and thereby be the first town in South Carolina in the present campaign to be entirely freed of malaria and to have the official approval of the United states government. During his stay in this city, Dr. Carter made the startling assertion that in his opinion fully 85 per cent, of the people of Bamberg suffer with m i-v f Arm Hr P Q T f"PT* JlldlCtl Id IU SUU1C 1U11U. N/W. .v. is eminently well qualified to pass an opinion on this subject, for he has given years of study to malaria, the effects of it, and the necessary proceduref ro eradication. Dr, Carter was prominently identified with the work of freeing the Panama canal zone of mosquitoes. Before the zone was cleaned up it was impossible for an inhabitant of the United States to live there. Now it is officially declared to be as healthy in this respect as any part of the United States. Bamberg gave its thousands to the Red Cross and to the Y. M. C. A. and r 'her agencies to alleviate the sufferings of the peoples in foreign lands and in army camps in America, and she did it not grudgingly, bftt cheerfully, feeling that pride that goes with good works, In ministering to those who need ministration. Now that the opportunity is offered to alleviate a suffering condition, not in France, or Siberia, or any other foreign land, but right in the city limits of Bamberg, what will b3 her answer? WANT MAIL ON B. E. & W. Effort Being Made to lie-Establish Service to Ehrhardt. An effort is being made to have the postoffice department re-establish mail service on the Bamberg, Ehrhardt and Walterboro railroad, between Bamberg and Ehrhardt. The matter is now in the hands of the postal authorities and it appears likely that the service will be put on. It will be recalled that several years ago, while under the management of the Atlantic Coast Line railway, the B., E. & \V. carried mail in locked pouches and this service proved to be a great convenience to the r.pnnlp When the railroad was returned to the owners for operation, the mail service was. discontinued, and no mail has been carried since. At present a letter mailed in Bamberg for Ehrhardt goes to Charleston, and ^thence by A. C. L. to Ehrhardt. Mail delivered at the postoffice here any time before 5:45 p. m. reaches Ehrhardt the following day about noon, and it takes about the same time for Ehrhardt mail to reach Bamberg. This puts the Ehrhardt people about a day late with most of'their mail, and the residents of that section have recently adopted the plan of frequently sending their mail to Bamberg for dispatch, as this saves considerable time. In addition to the defey thus caused in mail delivery, the present plan causes the people a great deal of expense, for if a merciiant or dusiness man of Ehrhardt desires a reasonably quick message to Bamberg, the telephone has to be resorted to.
