White, being confined to his home on account of illness. The friends of J. A. Spann will b? glad to know that his operation at the Johns Hopkins hospital, Baltimore, was successful, and that he is recovering rapidly. M. Cope Livingston, of Washington, D. C., was in the city last week. Mr. Livingston is a former resident c? Bamberg, and has many acquaint-, ances here. He is now the secretary-treasurer of the Acme Visible Methods company, manufacutrers of a visible filling system, of Washington. D. Graham Copeland, who for the past several months has been residing in New Orleans, requests The , Herald to change the address of his paper to P. O. Box 2437, Havana, Cuba, "in order that I may not be without a single number of your " Wo nigTLiy lllicrcsiiug jJUUiiV/atiuu? note from Mr. Copeland's letterhead that he is president of the "Compania Universal de Comercio." Following is an excerpt from a a letier from the Hopi Oil company, of Holbrook, Ariz., of which S. G. Mayfield, Esq., of Denmark, is president, to a citizen of Bamberg: "Our well is giving off a great deal of gas, which grows stronger all the time, and we expect to go down to the big sand in a short time. Everything in the field looks good, and there is more activity here than at any time ^since the development began." HARMNG NOT A PROHI. Drys Have Also Camped On the Trail Of Republican Nominee. Senator Harding holds that prohibition without compensation is confiscation. At least, he did at one time take that, position. The AntiSaloon League now fears that if he is chosen president, the liquor men put out of business will have^the right fn ask nf him that thev be compensat ed for the business losses put upon ' r them because of , the Eighteenth Amendment. In voting to submit the amendment to the general assemblies of the country, Senator Harding asserted, that he was not a prohibitionist, and never had been, and that in sending the amendment to the states, he reserved to himself the right, in the event of ratification, to move for compensation -for the financial losses resulting on federal prohibition. On August 1, 1917, in the senate, Mr. Harding said: "I do not hesitate to say that I approach the question from a strong sense of justice, and if this amendment is submitted to the people of the United States and receives the sanction of three-fourths'of the General Assemblies, then, if my tenure of office still stands, I am willing to go further and join in a movement to make it effective through a process of compensation to the business de -* J 99 stroyea. The A"hti-Saloon League is violently opposed to compensation. It declares that fair and full notice was given, years in advance, of the approach of prohibition, and that the man who did not heed the warning has only himself to blame. They would consider compensation a useless waste of the people's money. They are going after Senator Harding for an explanation and a "statement, at this time, of what he is going to do about it. During the debate in the senate on the prohibition amendment Senator Harding declared: "I am in sympathy with the opposition to the resolution about the unfairness of adopting a federal amendment under the provisions of the constitution on a ques - - ii?i?^ tion relating to personal nueiLy, auu if there were any other method of subn tting an amendment I should be very g'ad to employ it. 1 am not a prohibitionist and. never "have pretended to be. I do not approach this question from a moral viewpoint, because I am unable to see it as a great, moral question. "I do not think a prohibition amendment will be effective. You can not make any law stronger than the public sentiment which sees to its1 enforcement." Mr. Harding regretted the "pressure brought to settle" the prohibition issue at this time, August 1, 1917, but felt himself impelled to vote for the prohibition of the people doing the pressing: "Ever since I have been in public I have seen men continually measured by the wet and dry yardstick," said he, "and the submission of this amendment is going to measure every candidate for public office by the wet and dry 3-ardstick until the final set\ tlement."?Augusta ^Chronicle. 3 . I>R. J. H. ROBERTS. Beloved Ehi-liardt Physician Passed Away Suddenly Sunday. Dr. J. H. Roberts, one of the best known and most beloved physicians of this part of the state, died suddenly last Sunday morning at his home in Ehrhardt. The death of Dr. Roberts, though he had been in ill health for many months, came as a great shock to his relatives and friends, as he was apparently recovering his usual health. He intended going to the mountains this week for a stay! of a few weeks before resuming his medical practice. r The remains were interred Monday afternoon at five o'clock in the Ehrftardt cemetery, tiie Kev. iur. Godbold, his pastor, conducting the funeral services, assisted by the other pastors of Ehrhardt, the Rev. Mr. Owings and the Rev. Mr. Risinger. The funeral and burial were attended by an unusually large congregation of relatives and acquaintances. The grave was covered with numerous beautiful floral tributes to the works of this good man. Dr. Roberts suffered an illness two years ago from which he had never regained his strength. Last summer he went to a hospital in Charleston, where he remained several weeks under treatment. About three months ago he went to Baltimore and remained several weeks under treatment, returning home about three weeks before his death. His condition was so much improved that it was believed he would soon be able to resume his wide practice. He was in Bamberg a few days ago, and his friends were delighted to see him looking and feeling so well. ' "* ? ? ?? h 'V?*- /N "P hlf Sunday morning memueib ui mo family were attracted by a noise from his room, upon entering which it was seen that he was in a dying condition. A physician was hastily summoned and everything possible done for the doctor, but his heart had given away, and he died peacefully a few minutes later. Dr. Roberts was the son of the late Dr. Richard Roberts. He was born near Allendale 57 years ago. After attending the public schools of Barnwell county, he graduated in medicine at the South Carolina Medical academy. Afterward he took post' graduate courses, and was "well equipped for the practice of his profession. With the exception of a short time spent at Great Falls, he has spent his entire professional life in this section. He had been in active practice for about .30 years, dur[ ing which time he endeared himself I to the hearts of the people. He had a high and noble regard for his profession, in which he had been eminently successful. Dr. Roberts was first married to Miss Lottie Barber, of Rock Hill, and of this union one daughter, Mrs. B. D. Carter, of Bamberg, survives. His second wife was Mrs. Laura Dunbar, tie? Miss Furman, of Barnwell county, wtio with six . children survive him: James, Richard, Furman, Catherine, Louise, and Carlisle. One kt.r.tviot* r at Roberts of Ehrhardt. V L UUiUl , JLS.. AUt also survives Dr. Roberts. His father died a number of years ago,?and his mother died'about two years ago, both at advanced ages. ^ The deceased was connected in a business way with a number of local enterprises, and was indentified with all public movements in his county and communitj*. He was vice president of the Farmers and Merchants Bank and a member of the Masonic fraternitv. fFor many years he had been a steward of the Ehrhardt Methodist church. He was a consecrated Christian gentleman, and a man who will be sorely missed in his commupity. *<i ?M Send in Your Complaints. The Herald is requested to say that all citizens of Bamberg are invited to send in the malaria control workers any complaints they may have to make in regard to the mosquito situation in town. The work is now being prosecuted, and if informed of the presence of mosquitoes in any ' ** A J ? rr* -511 1"?A Pari 01 1116 lOWU,^iuc aianci n in uc investigated and remedied. There is no way of remedying any faults unless the matter is reported. Those interested in controlling malaria in 1 Bamberg will be glad to receive any criticism, in order that everything possible may be done to free Bamberg | of mosquitoes. Any such criticisms or complaints should be reported to the city clerk, B. F. Folk, Jr., who will transmit them to the proper authorities. Old Soldiers at Reunion. The following Confederate veterans attended the reunion of company "G," an account of which was printed in the last issue of The Herald: M. O. Kinard, Calvin Rentz, E. H. Grayson, J. L. Copeland, J. C. Copeland, E. F. Weeks, P. M. Vara, T. E. Copeland, J. H.' Zeigler, J. A. McCormack, G. D. Hanherry, A. Wilson, G. F. Kinard, J. W. Bessinger, H. F. Pearson, D. 0. Hunter. FAREWELL SERMOX. , The Rev. P. W. -DuBose Concludes Pastorate of Bamberg Church. Sunday evening at 8:30 the Rev. Pierre W. DuBose brought to a close his pastorate of the Bamberg Presbyterian church. He now goes to Wilmington, X. C., where he becomes assistant to a large pastorate. Mr. DuBose has been pastor of the Bam berg, Denmark, Blackville and Barnwell churcfies for several years, conducting services at each of the churches twice each month, and it is with keen regret not only among his own congregations, but among his numerous sincere friends in these towns, that he ceases his pastoral work in this state. He is a most conscientious and hard working young pastor, and he threw every ounce of his energy into his ministerial work in Bamberg and at his other churches. As a result of his hard work he has built up some strong chruches, and established organizations that will carry forward the work after he has gone. A meeting is scheduled to be held in Blackville this week- by the officers of the four churches with a view to discussing the matter of securing a successor to Mr. DuBose, and it is hoped that within a short time a pastor will be in charge of these churches. Mr. DuBose was married luring his local pastorate, and his charming wife has accompanied him to Bamberg on many occasions. She has formed many warm acquaintances here, and the very best wishes of their friends accompany Rev. and Mrs. DuBose to their new home. FOSTER RESIGNS. D. B. Jordan Assumes Management of Local Water and Power ""Plant. S. A. Foster, for the past several monchs superintendent of the Bamvberg electric light and water plant, handed in his resignation last week, and the commissioners of^ public works immediately elected D. B. Jordan as his successor. Mr. Foster ceased his connection "with the local plant" Saturday evening, and Mr. Jordan took charge the same day. Mr. Foster came to Bamberg from New Jersey. During their short residence in Bamberg, he and his family have made many friends, who deeply regret their departure. Mr. Jordan is an old Bamberg boy. He was connected as assistant with the plant here for many years. Some time ago he left Bamberg and became superintendent of the Ehrhardt plant, where it is said that he has rendered a good- account of himself. He is thoroughly, familiar with the Bamberg plant and local conditions, and the commissioners feel that they have made a wise choice in their seL lection of him. BOND ELECTION CARRIED. Four Votes Against One Issue and Six Against the Other. ) The election held in the city of Bamberg Thursday'for the purpose of passing upon two bond issues was carried by an overwhelming majority, although there was very little interest in the election, and only 63 voters participated. The vote on tne two jji uyu&itiuuo was as follows: For Ag't Power and Water Plant....59 4 Waterworks extension 57 6 The bond issue for the electric light and power piant is for $15,000, and is to be used for the. installation of new machinery, boring a new well, and for making other necessary improvements at the power plant. The $25,000 issue is for the extension of the water lines of the city. A. S. Easterling, J. H. Murphy and J. G. Smoak acted as managers of election. All Star Team. "R. P. B." writing in the Bamberg Herald, at the editor's request, picks an all star Tri-County league team, and the names of several players, well known in Columbia, are included. He gives first place in pitching to Ellis Smith, former Comer, with next place to Kitts, also a former Comer, and honorable mention to "Babe" Adams, likewise ex-Sally leaguer and also a Columbia boy.

These meetings will be held as follows: Denmark?11 a. m. July 29. Bamberg?3 p. m. July 29. Ehrhardt?3 p. m. July 30. The party will consist of four members, with H. S. Johnson, district farm agent, in charge. The speakers will be: G. L. Toole, South Carolina Cotton association; J. C. Rivers, state warehouse system; N. E. Withers, extension service and department of agriculture. Business will be suspended during the hours of meeting, according to the county chairman, and every farmer and business man is * urged to be present at one of these meetings. The three principal things to be discussed, as set forth in a circular letter, are as follows: 1. To arrange for the grading of the farmer's #cotton by a disinterested party who will be an appointee of the state and federal governments j working under the supervision of the extension service of Clemson college, the U. S. department of agriculture, the cotton association and the state warehouse commissioner. 2. To arrange for the building of the necessary warehouse space in taking care of at least 50 per cent, of the normal crop. i 3. To increase the membership of the cotton association in order that * it may be a potential factor in the economic life of the state. To Get Additional Fees. More than $80,000 will be paid to the various county treasurers on account of the additional license fees on premiums collected by insurance companies for 'the semi-annual period ending December 31, 1919, according to an announcement made at the office of the state insurance commissioner. A- tax of 2 per cent, is paid on premiums collected by the various insurance concerns doing business in the state.

Bamberg suffered its second defeat of the season on the home grounds Tuesday afternoon when the locals took the count and went down before the hard hitting Elloree team^by a score of 4 to 2. The game was interrupted by rain in the sixth inning, but was finally completed and was well played and thoroughly en-1 joyed. Luther was tapped for eight hits, but was steady in the pitches. SM-mitz was hit rather freely, a total of ten hits being obtained from his delivery, but his support wobbled slightly in one inning. Aside from that the Bamberg infield played fast ball. Welsh at short put up a remarkable exhibition, Charlie Rentz at' second fielded in major league form, and the stellar play of the game was pulled by "Gyp" at third when he nailed a runner at second after making the most sensational stop ever seen at Rhoad park. This boy gets better every day, but there's no more room for improvement now. Large playing left field couldn't do much at bat, only getting two singles and a triple. Ulmer at first base for the visitors put up a neat fielding game. It isn't so bad to see the home team lose when they play great ball as they did Tuesday, the kind that is sure to win many more games for them before the season is over. It is altogether probable that the team would have won Tuesday had it not been for a bad break against us in the first inning. The visitors scored first in the third inning, one run- on a passed ball. Bamberg tied up quickly when Pete Watson romped home from second on a single to left by Schultz. Then the fatal inning came and with everything going wrong the visitors chased in J;hree runs and the game. Things rocked along this ninth inninsr when Otto v> a v uiun i,iic '""v.. - Large got mad and slammed one over the left fielder's head for a clean three-bagger, and scored as Charlie Rentz singled sharply over short. That was all. Not by way of criti-cism, but-merely trying to offer a helpful suggestion, a pinch hitter towards the close of a game sometimes works mighty well, and no ball player ever got a two-bagger when the umpire called the third strike on him right over the base. The next game will be here Thursday with Springfield. Score by innings: Elloree 001 300 000 4 -10 2 Bamberg 001 000 001 2 8 3 Batteries: . Lusher and Taylor; Schultz and Turnipseed. SOURCE OF PEARL BUTTONS. A Large Industry Based on Mussel Shells. ___ ^ | "Complexity of modern industry is aptly illustrated by the fact that | your pearl buttons are dependent upoff preservation of certain Mississippi river fish," says a bulletin from the j Washington, D. C., headquarters of i the National Geographic society. This economic curiosity Is explained in a communication to the society by Hugh M. Smith as follows:' "The perpetuation of the fish supply in the Mississippi and its tributaries involves a very important industry besides fishing. Investigations conducted for the bureau of I fisheries years ago showed an ^hti I mate relation between certain kinds j oi fishes and the mussels, which yield i/valuable pearls and support a pearhf button industry which gives employment to about 20,000' persons and has a product worth from $5,O0O,000 to $6,000,000 annually. 4 "The young mussels, of microscopic size when thrown off by their parents in. myriads, need to pass the first few weeks of their independent existence on the gills of fish. If the j fishes are not present at the proper | time, the mussels cannot survive. ! Furthermore?and this is a most in! teresting feature of the correlation of fishes and mussels?the young of particular kinds of mussels require the gills of particular kinds of fishes as nurseries. "The black bass is host for several sorts of mussels, the crappies for several others, the catfish for others. The skip-jack, a kind of herring, is the only known host for the best of all mussels; and as this fish is not by any means abundant, its maintenance-is of prime importance to the welfare of the button industry. In 19.9 more than one and a half million skip-jacks were rescued. "The pecufiar requirements of the young mussels having been carefully determined, the bureau of fisheries has gone extensively into the business of artificial propagation of pearly mussels by a method which is a vast improvement on natures The spawning mussels, held in ponds are at the critical period provided with the special fishes needed for the attachment of the young. The fishes obtained in the rescue operations are "turned into the ponds at the time the mussels are spawning and become thickly inoculated. They are then liberi ated in the open water and distribute themselves and the mussels throughout a wide stretch of'river. Thus, two important branches of the bureau's work go hand in hand. "The artificial propagation fresh water mussels is one of the functions of the United States Fisheries biological laboratory located on the Mississippi ri^r near Fairport, Iowa. . Each year from 200,000,000 to 300,000,000 young mussels are thus brought into contact with the gills of rescued fishes and given a proper start in . life. The maintenance of the mussel supply is thus greatly aided. "That this work is not a mere experiment, but is yielding practical results, is shown by various pieces of evidence. For instance, pearl buttons have been made from Mississippi river mussels grown from larvae that has been artificially implanted - * - * ' 1 4-V. ? on the gills of DiacK oass i?s? man two years before and had been under constant observation. These mussels would have attained full commercial size at the age of four and a half years." Large supply of cotton picking sheets just received. G. 0. Simmons, Bamberg, S. C. j % 4 1 * r .-.V, ,'V_. Another Cotton Pest? Farmer E. C. Bruce exhibited to -The Herald Wednesday a peculiar 4 sort of cotton pest, which he found in his field. The insect was a worm " about one-half or three-fourths of an inch in length. It had completelyeaten a young cotton boll, and from its huskiness appeared to have a capacity for many more. It is not thought to be the army V work, which is wreaking so much havoc in portions of the state. The ? worm was sent to Clemson college 4 for examination. - 9 COUNTY CAMPAIGN MEETINGST \ Pursuant to order of the county executive committee, the following schedule has been arranged for the county campaign meetings: .v >.
