THE H. C. L. '
There must be something radical
ly wrong with the system of getting
the farmer's products to the eonsumer.
Take, for instance, the very commonplace,
but to many palates delectable,
cabbage. A few days ago
gtev .
i cabbage was selling from truck farms
in Florida for 65 cents per hamper.
jj's.'The
price had previously been $1 per
hamper, but there had been a drop
in the market. A hamper contains
S'fe-'-;-.
about one bushel, and weighs perhaps
thirty-five pounds. Therefore
the price of cabbage on the farm was
:>bout two cents a pound. Cabbage
*was selling in Bamberg Tuesday for
Il2 ,1-2 cents a pound. Two or three
weeks ago, before the drop in the
J?}orida market, cabbage sold here
sK* jfor about ten cents a pound. The
Brice on the truck farm is around
two cents a pound and the price to
the consumer is from 10 to 12 1-2
V , i
* cents. We don't know who is reliap*
.sponsible for it, or whether any body
is responsible, but we do know that 1
five or six hundred per cent, above i
production price.is certainly unreast-'
t i
JgjjfS-. onable. $,
LAW VS. LYNCHING. !
A striking argument without words
against lynching is seen in the recent
Abbeville affair in which two young
p . girls were victims of criminal as|
sault. Two young men, who were
v
x thought to be the guilty parties, were
' arrested, and would probably have
been summarily dealt with had no;
the officers promptly carried tnem to
the penitentiary so as to be safe from
" mob attack. The next day\it devel:
v oped that a terrible mistake had been
made; that the young men were en
tirely innocent of the affair. The
right men were -pprehended and are
if awaiting .trial at a special term of
court. Suppose an angry mob had
got its hands on the two young men
~ " first arrested, w&n excitement was
at a white heat. Does anybody doubt
, . the outcome of it? Two men would
.
have gone to their death in direful
disgrace who, it later developed, had
nothing whatever to do with the
crime. Their arrest was the result
of a misunderstanding of a name. As
awful as the crime was, if these men
had had a violent laid upon them, a
i more awful crime would have been
|pip committed.
If" MONEY IN THE SUMMER.
To the average business man in
;<> A Bhmberg?and most other towns in
^ v,. this section?the summer time is a
ft iA nightmare. It is necessary to make
enough money in the winter time to
keep going during the summer, and
when the winter's business is not
r "* ' "* y * *
* good, as it so very often is in cotton
Ss?v v. 1
' counties, the business men are hard
& \ hit for three or four months in the
summer, when hardly a Bamberg business
house makes anything more
than expenses, if that much.
If the Bamberg tobacco market is
established, and there app^rs to be
no doubt of it, this condition will
very largely be relieved. The tobacco
selling season opens from the 10th
to 15th of July?the slowest time of
the year in this town?and from then
on there is great activity in business
rf
where there is a good market.
Now the thing for Bamberg is for
J
?* " ? A- ?? -3 11 -X ?~
everyDoay 10 pun ana -pun siruu& iui
the local tobacco market. Money
flows at tobacco markets in July.and
August like it does in cotton towns
/ !
' in the fall of the year. Let everybody
boost the Bamberg tobacco market.
Work, for it, talk for it, make
it the best market Jn South Carolina.
If Bamberg is a good market tobacco
will flow here from all over the
state.
The town is going forward. Let's
keep that nightmare away from the
summer time.
THE HERALD.
i
Perhaps the editorial column is j
not the right place to talk shop, but j
we merely desire to make a statement j
or two. The Herald is sent to its1
subscribers for $2.00 a year. The
I
pre-war price was $1.50 a year and
too cheap at that. Before the war j
i
our paper cost us $2.65 per 100:
pounds. Today the price fluctuates j
at from $7.50 to $12.00 per 100 '
pounds. The paper this issue is print-:
ed on cost us $10.00 per 100 pounds.!
Before the war printers were paid j
$15 to $20 a week. Today printers j
are paid $40 to $50 a week and can't |
? - !
be had at that price. The increase;
in cost of production of this news-!
paper has been anywhere from 100
to 300 per cent. The increase in
subscription price has been 33 1-3
per cent. It is possible to maintain
this price only because of a considerable
increase in the volume of advertising.
We will keep the subscription
price at $2.00 if it is possible
to do so. The only purpose in
making this statement is to let our
friends know just what a bargain
they are getting. Bargains are
scarce these days. Better hang on
to the one you are sure of.

Woman Alleges Man Gave Her Wood
Alcohol to Silence Her.
Baltimore, March 27.?The suit of
Mrs. Catherine Bristol, of Philadelphia,
in Atlanta against John Keiley,
is the aftermath of a tragedy in Baltimore
last November. Miss Lucille I
Sharp died on November 23 last, after
drinking what was believed to have
been brandy in the Keiley apartment
in Eutaw Place.
Mrs. Bristol drank some of the liquid
and for nearly t\to months lingered
between life and death at Johns
Hopkins hospital. She finally was
able to le&ve the hospital, but is
blind.
The death of Miss Sharp, an Atlanta
girl, and the blinding of Mrs. Bris-!
tol caused a stir. The women, with
Keilev and Allie Osman. a young j
Turk, were occupying an apartment j
at the Eutaw Place address. Osman j
and Miss Sharp had been in New]
York city the wreek prior to her death j
and had purchased several quarts ofj
alleged brandy. It was later discov-|
ered that the brandy contained a j
large percentage of wood alcohol.
Mrs. Bristol, a former friend of
Keiley, had come down from Phila-;
delphia the Saturday night before!
Miss Sharp's death.
Keiley and Osman were held in jail (

Winston-Salem, performed an autopsy
and declared that wood alcohol
had caused the woman's death.
