The sudden change in the weather Sunday night sent fojks scurrying during the night hunting covering. The thermometer dropped to winter time proportions, at least it felt so after the hottest Sunday in some weeks. Some dozen residences in Bamberg are now in the course of construction, ranging all the way from small bungalows to imposing structures. This is a welcome industry in Bamberg, as no residences have been built to speak of of here for the past several years. Now that the "ice has been broken" it is hoped that the good nrnrk will continue. A valued subscriber in Alabama writes: "As I have not received The Herald for the past two weeks, I suppose my subscription has expired. Enclosed you will find check." Moral: Don't let your subscription expire. It is unnecessary to miss a single copy of your favorite paper, and it causes us inconvenience. Just forward renewals a week or two before your time is out, and you will not miss any copies. Five houses have been erected on the property of the Bamberg Realty company in the northern section of town, and the foundation has been laid for the sixth. The finishing .touch is being made to the houses already erected, and they will soon be ready for occupancy. Four of?these houses are one-story bungalows, and the otner is a two-story residence. The houses are very attractive, and arranged conveniently. The county campaign meeting was held Tuesday at Camp Branch. Camp Branch is a new voting place recently created by the executive committee for the citizens of the section of Colleton annexed last winter to Bamberg coutfty. Camp Branch school house is right on the old line between Bamberg and Colleton counties. The meeting was attended *by a large crowd of citizens of that community and some visitors from other sections. Cosmopolitan magazine has advised its trade customers that the price of the magazine has advanced to 35 cents, with this explanatory note: "Increased costs make this ohanp^ r?pf?p<5Sflrv: in a vear naner WMWM0V ** ^ 7 ? w V - - - ? Mr Mr has gone up 400 per cent, editorial : , 'costs haye doubled, printing costs have doubled, and transportation costs have increased one-third, with more to come." The same thing is experienced by all newspapers. The Herald has made no increase in its v subscription rate, and the best way to help us to keep it down is to give all your printing and advertising patronage to your home paper. No town can enjoy the prosperity z that a good town deserves if its home people go elsewhere to do their business. After all a town is but the sum of its people, their enterprises and industries., If these enterprises , thrive, then so will the town. Bam' erg has many creditable enterprises and busines v hich warr*-"-. splendid patronage, yet dozens of our people go to other places with their money and receive no better bargains for it. It's merely a fad, a habit and a bad one. People get the idea that if r an object comes from away off it's bet'ter, but they have to stretch their i2>.aginatioa* to foster such silly no" ions. Patronize your home industries and let's all pull together for a bigger, 'better, greater Bamberg. Tared for Belgian boy. V _______ Little Lad Who Stowed Away and Came to America Now Has Home. f'V S'l Some months ago a little boy, a Belgian, came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Kearse, through the good offices of their daughter, Miss Claire Kearse, who is connected with a de\ partment of the Board of Charities and. Corrections in Columbia. This little boy, Eachin Guilan, cam? to America as a stotfaway with 'the eighty-second division when the division returned from France. He was taken in charge by the Charities and Corrections Board, and stayed with Mr. and Mrs. Kearse until a permanent home could be secured, and it 1 is with a well-to-do Belgian family Tiving in North Carolina. Eachin left this week for his new home. The lad has a very sad story. When Belgium was overrun by the Germans, his mother and father were killed, he says, and he followed the French army for a time. When the Americans arrived in Belgium, he quit the Frenph asuny and went with the Americans. He says he received a wound during the fighting, and shows the scar with pride. When the - . American army returned to America, ? the lad hid himself away on one of the transports and came to the United States. He is a bright hoy, and seemed to ioy his stay in Bamberg county, v. xf ce he was treated with the greatest kihdntss. Generous Monarch. \ . T'ie stcry runs that an African king had A ken a great fancy to an American missionary and, wishing to please him and make him stand between him and the white governments who are inclined to punish him for certain atrocities, brought before him the 500 most beautiful maidens in his kingdom. "They are the loveliest flowers of my land," announced the monarch. "Pick one from among them for your wife." ^ The missionary, who already had a Wife at horn , was greatly ambarrassed, but not wishing to hurt the feelings of his host, much less offend him, replied diplomatically: "You honor me, but I dare not choose lest the other 499 become jealous." "That's easily arranged," continued the monarch with a majestic wave of his hand, "take them all." ? CHOPS ARE PROMISING. Little Damage by Weevil Yet.?Corn -v.- and Peanuts Fine. If Bamberg county- is delivered from the cotton boll weevil this season, she has the promise of the best crops perhaps in several years. It is rather unusual that both cotton and corn crops are fine the same season, and yet up to this time both crops are full of promise. The cotton crop depends, of course, on what the boll weevil will do. The countyis pretty thoroughly infested with the pest, and no one can say what the outcome will be, although most of the farmers seem to think that the ravage by the weevil will not be so great this season. A casual look at the magnificent farms of Bamberg county will convince any one thai the crops are splendid. The cotton plants are healthy and large and are 'fruited to the top with young bolls. Corn is green and bids fair to yield fine crops. Corn is not generally in "as good condition, though, as the cotton plants. Some fields of corn have suffered from drought, but as a general thing the farmers are highly elated over their corn prospects. The peanut crop is likewise very 'promising. . This being Bamberg's first commercial experience with peanuts as a crop, there is no standard to judge the condition of the crop by, but from general appearances, it would seem that a good crop will be harvested. The price of peanuts, as is known to those who keep up with the market pages of the papers, has suffered a severe slump, the price dropping, we understand, fr.om around 5300 a ton to less than $200 during the pa$t few weeks. - This is very discouraging to those who planted heavy peanut acreages, but it is thought that even with the prevailing low prices profits can be made from peanuts this season. Concerning cotton prices, there is no definite forecast. The cotton associations and others working in hehalf of the farmer say that the price will hold up, and some predict better prices than now quoted. Cotton is nowf worth over 40 cents. Corn prices are higher "than in many years. * The tobacco situation is most encouraging. Tobacco men say that there is a fine crop of the weed in the county, and the prices are most satisfactory. Tl'ln.n'r.n. in ? n rif lllQ f O/?f tjiof J. IItri C IS IIVJ UUUUL VI IIIv IUVU ouuu the farmers went gunning after the boll weevil this year, and the fight so far indicates much success. Cotm was planted as early as it could be gotten in the ground, followed by intensive cultivation and high fertilization. When the forms appeared on the cotton, most of the farmers began at once to look for the weevils and pick up the fallen punctured squares. The result is the fields are as free of weevils as the knowiedge of fighting the pest permits. It is generally believed that if the weevils can be controlled the balance of the season, Bamberg county Mds fair to harvest a crop of cotton equal to if not better than 1918. This condition is not general, by any 'means. Visitors to the various cotton sections of the country all agree that the best cotton anywhere is in Bamberg county. MELONS BRTNG GOOD PRICE. Carload of Fine Bamberg Melons Sold for $450 Last Week. B. F. Free, who planted watermelons for the market this season, Saturday received a telegram from his -brokers in the north informing him that his last carload had been sold for $450 gross. This is the best price fhat has been received for melons this year by local growers. The freight is to be deducted from this amount, and the freight is usually about $125, leaving him about $325 net for the carload. Many melons were grown around Bamberg this year, and the crop is especially fine. A number of cars have been loaded with melons averaging thirty to forty pounds. The price at the first of the local shipping season was not very encouraging, and a good many shippers failed to realize very goodj>rofits on early ship^ ments. However, according to Mr. Free's returns on his last car, the price seems to be very good now. Difficulties of Arbitration. "A peacable man of this towrn," says an official of a steel company, "came upon two lads fighting. He besought them in eloquent terms to settle their dispute by arbitration. 'Each of you,' he suggested kindly, 'select half a dozen friends to abitrate.' "Then, having seen that the twelve arbitrators were chosen to the satisfaction of both sides, the peaceable man left rejoicing. It was half an hour later when -he came back that way, and he was chagrined to find the whole community fighting, while from a distance were blowing many police whistles. " Officers were rushing to the spot from all quarters. " Tn the name of heaven!' demanded the peacemaker of a bystander, "what is the matter now?' " 'Well, sir,' said the man, 'the arbtrators are at work.' " Appreciative. A young lawyer had a foreign client in police court the other day. It looked rather black for the foreigner, and the youthful attorney fairly outdid himself in trying to convince the magistrate that his client was innocent of the charge brought. The'attorney dwelt on the other's ignorance of American customs, his straightforward story, and upon other details sufficient to extend the talk fully fifteen minutes. His client was acquitted. In congratulating the freed man the lawyer held out his hand in an absent but rather suggestive manner The client grasped it firmly. "Eet was verra fine noise you mak'7 he said, "Moocha thanks, Goo'-by." Just received, shipment of tobaccc sheets. H. C.FOLK CO. OPINION IN WYMAN CASE. Supreme Court Affirms Judgment, But Releases Coast Line./ Monday the state supreme court handed down its decision in the appeal case of Dr. Joel W. Wyman, of Denmark, against the A. C. L. Railway company and the director general of the railroad administration. The decision affirms the judgment of the lower court and sustained the verdict, which awards Dr. Wyman damages in the sum of $20,000/ but at the same time releases the Atlantic Coast Line from liability. This case resulted from the serious injury by a Coast Line train to Dr. Wyman in the town of Denmark some ' months ago. This accident occurred during the period of operation of the railroads by the United States railroad administration. Dr. Wyman suffered injuries to such an extent that it was necessary for him to spend some weeks in a hospital, and he has not vet recovered. Suit was brought jointly against the director general and the Coast Line. A verdict of $20,000 'damages was awarded Dr. Wyman, and an appeal was carried to the supreme court. The Coast Line contended that inasmuch as the railroad was not under the operation of the owners that it was not liable for damages, and asked to be released from the judgment. Its petition was granted, but tht, judgment as to the railroad administrator was affirmed. NEW TOBACCO WAREHOUSE. Third Tobacco House Will Be Erected Here for Next Season. Notice appears elsewhere in this issue of The Herald of the opening of the books of subscription to the capital stock of the Bamberg Tobacco Warehouse company, with Jones A. Williams and Mrs. May B. Williams, as the board of corporators/ When asked by The Herald Monday about the proposed warehouse, Mr. Williams stated that as soon as the capital stock of the corporation is disposed of, preparations will be made to erect the proper building, and * that the concern would be in readiness for business E.ext season. The tobacco market in Bamberg has been so very satisfactory so far,, that there seems n-o doubt about it that tobacco will be a staple crop here', and it is with the expectation of making ample preparations to handle the crop that Mr. Williams has undertaken the organization of a third warehouse for the town. Mr. Williams says it is proposed to erect at a probable cost of $25,000 a warehouse that will have alarge capacity, and to install the : usual conveniences in the building. He believes strongly in the future of the tobacco industry in Bamberg, and while he states there is a strong \ demand for investment by outsiders the home people will be given opportunity to take stock in the concern. The warehouse is to be located on some convenient lot near the wholesale district. - /X PROM KEARSE. Entertainments Given in Honor of Visiting Young Ladies. Kearse, July 27.?Among the entertainments given for the visitors 'in the community last week was a delightful informal party at Mrs. Bernard Kearse's. About thirty guests were present and spent a most de lightful evening. An interesting contest was engaged in, Miss Irma Colemar and Monroe Morris winning first prize. The consolation, a set of questions and answers, was given Miss Inez -Kirkland and Mr. Bullock. Delicious -fruit punch was served v throughout the evening. Mrs. George B. Kearse entertained a number of the younger set at her home Monday evening. Dancing and music made the evening a very short and pleasant one. Punch was served. Misses Mary Phoebe Bush, of E1-. lenton, and Virginia Zeigler, of Allendale, visited Mrs. George Kearse last week. 1 Miss Emmie Lynes, of Olar, is visiting Miss Hilda Kearse. ; Miss Louise Jenny, of Fairfax, is the guest of her aunt, Mrs. Bernard Kearse. Mrs. J. L. Copeland gave the visiting young ladies an afternoon paity at Clear Pond Tuesday afternoon. After swimming and boat riding in the pond, supper was served on the banks. Those present were: Mesdames J. L. Copeland, G. B. Kearse and B. V. Kearse; Misses Mary Phoebe Bush, Emmie Lynes, Louise Jenkny, Virginia Zeigler, and Hilda Kearse, and Chester and, Claude Copeland, Eugene Brabham, Edward 'Kearse and Alton Ramsey. Miss Cressida Breland spent the week-end at her home, returning to Langley Monday, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. J. F. Breland. Mr. and Mrs. L. Earle Bush, of Ellenton, visited Mrs. G. Edw. Kearse last week. - r i hi i? ? MEXICAN WOMEN MAY VOTE. Provisional President Predicts the Coming of Suffrage.

Nearly the whole St. Matthews team pounced on the game little slab artist with a vengeance in this/inning, three doubles, twb singles, an error and some slightly loose fielding netting them a total 01 five runs and from that moment the outcome of the game was never in doubt. Although only two more hits wrere recorded against Smith the home team broke the tie with two runs in the seventh caused largely by a rank error. That was all the scoring, as the visitors were helpless with one man doing the batting for the team. The playing of the game produced four distinct outstanding features the magnificent pegging of "Stumpy" Banks for the winners, a great catch by our "Bub" in center field, two world's record breaking throws by Charlie Rentz iand the sensational batting of McGhee Bamberg. Here's this chap's record in four times up: A clean double to right field for his first effort, a long two bagger to center on his second trip, a smashing drive down the left field line for two bases on his third appearance, and just to round out a good day's work he poked an infield single towards first base for his final time at bat. "Let the dead Rast bury it's dead," so we shall not give any review of how the runs were made; ^ but the score book tells the horrible tale in detail ' just the same.

For gracious sake don't get so disheartened at the ball team losing a few games. Those boys are, out there co-operating in complete harmony trying to get the very best team work possible. The officers of the club are working together cooperating in their every effort to try to bring about the best results they can. Every good ball team has its slumps and sojne of them last much longer than oura has. If the fans will ail pull together and try as hard with their encouragement and support as the players and officers are doing, they will reap better results, instead of what they are getting from their knocks and side remarks. Support the Team. Go out to the' ball games and yell yourself hoarse; it's good for the lungs; and then -after thie game, win or lose, try to give your whole souled hearty support and encouragement to the boys whether you approve deep down in your heart of every play that was made or not. Every fellow who ever tried to play ball made errors just as you do in your every day life and all of us do in everything we undertake. If he doesn't' make errors then he isn't a ball player "and does not put forth his best efforts. Bamberg has never in its history experienced a losing ball team, but on the contrary, has won practically all the games,played invariably year in and year out, and in a way that is sometimes unfortunate. For the consequence is that our fans have a base ball temperament somewhat similar to the disposition of a petted and humored child,, absolutely- spoiled and ' ! : ~ ; A *' ' ^ f *** w found that the bag was rotten, it bursted, and the game dropped to a beautiful silver platter on which we graciously, but not gracefully, handed it to the home club for safe keep mg, ieeung mat 11 wouia De Deuer taken care of. It was. A five run lead ought to be enough to win any reasonable game, but this was an unreasonable one. "Rube" Skinner started ou^ the' the Saints with .absolutely nothing, and oui; boys landed on him in the very first inning with a few wicked drives and savage clouts which with a couple of error's accounted for three scores. It seemed all over but the shouting as Smith was working like a pine board house afire, and retired the St. Matthews boys in the first two innings so easily that it actually seemed pitiful. In the first half of the third our boys continued their good work and seemingly just as a matter of safety first put two more runners across the pan, thus giving us the commanding lead of five tallies. As the first home player stepped to the plate in this inning the writer eased ba?k comfortably wondering if St. Matthews would get a hit off Smith, he was going so" strong. Then suddenly as^ a storm breaks on a calm sea, bang, cracked the ball to the fight field for two sacks, and Mr. Smith's undoing had started. Perfect support would have helped him to win his game, but nevertheless, had both pitchers been accordecTerrorless support Smith still would have lost his n-omn Vvtt f Vi q dnnro n f Q f n A TP. von PLEASED WITH CONTROL WORK. Government Expert, Praises Work in - liamberg and Other Points. Dr. T. H. D. Griffitts, epidemiologist of the United States public health service, was in Columbia yesterday in conference with Capt. L. M. Fisher, public health service, who has charge of malaria control work in South Carolina. Dr. Griffitts is inspecting the malaria control work which is being done in this state, he having general charge of the work in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. "Some fine work is being done in this state in malaria control," said ' Dr. Griffitts yesterday. "The work at Bamberg presented many difficulties, it is being done and done well as was evidenced when a trained expert, aft er about three hours search, was able recently to find but one anopheles ' mosquito. We judge the efficiency of the work in part by the mosquito population. When no mosquitoes are found it means that the drainage and the top minnows have done their ' work well. "Virginia and North Carolina are ' doing *work similar to that in South Carolina. Points were selected in which demonstration work is being done, it being the purpose of the demonstrations to show that the mosquito can be brought under control at a reasonable cost. "Within the nxt 25 yars, I am of the opinion that malaria will not be a serious problem in the southern states. A very decided improvement has been made within the past few ' years. Not only have screening of dwellings, draining of stagnant pools, the use of the top minnows, and the oiling of pools and sluggish streams assisted in lessening the prevalence of malaria, but the people themselves have learned bow to care betten for themselves and they are coming to know how to handle malaria. Quinine should be taken even after the chills and fever have departed from an infected patient; if quinine is administered some six or eight weeks after chills have stopped, the malaria poison will be eliminated from the system. "The elimination of malaria is no sentimental undertaking. A laborer suffering froin malaria is only about one-half efficient; he can't do the work of a man free of the disease. It is a good investment financially to put money in a malaria control project; and the people are rapidly coming to see the advantages which accrue from such an undertaking." Dr. Griffitts expects to visit several towns in this state which are engaging in malaria control work.?The Columbia State, July 28.. l<l Cotton sheets at Rehtz & Felder's.

TO TOBACCO PLAN tfEKS, BANKS, WAREHOSES, BUSINESS FIRMS, PROFESSIONAL MEN AND FARMERS. ? tfou no doubt are informed as to the present status of the South Carolina Tobacco Association, which was formed about one year ago, and know some of the work which this association has accomplished since its beginning, the principal work being to have the embargo raised on tobacco shipments during the last marketing season. Realizing that there are likely to be greater needs for con: certed action during the season just coming in, we are trying to get our organization into better working condition. On July 6th a meeting of all tobacco interests in the ^tobacco belt was held in Florence, the proceedings of which were published in this newspaper and. others. At this meeting a central committee of five was appointed to carry out the policies as outlined at the meeting. It was decided to put on a^ paid secretary to perfect the work of the organization, but a suitable man could not be secured, and W. W. Long, of the extension service of Clemson college, has consented to give two of his men irom tne extension service to cume into the tobacco territory. This will not cost the organization anything, and these men will, cooperate with the officers of the association. They will put on an educational campaign, and our motto is "Better Tobacco on a Better Market." These meif, F. L. Harkey and L. H. Lewis, have had several years experience in this business, and they will visit all the tobacco markets of the state. Their purpose will be to work through the leading^ men in each market, principally the warehousemen, bankers, business and professional men and the leading farmers, All nf thooo interests are urged tc cooperate with Messrs. Harkey and Lewis in enlisting the work of the people in this section. We want tc get several thousand members in the next thirty days. The membership fees are is follows: Banks, $5; warehouses, S5; business firms, $2; professional mer and farmers, $1. Every bank, warehouse, business firm, professional man and farmer farmer in the county should be a -member of the-South aCrolina Tobacco Association, and you are urged tc send in to the undersigned your membership fee at once. v - .
