SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.
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.

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.

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."

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

at that there is no denying the fact
that he is a great pitcher. 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.

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 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

would get a hit off Smith, he was

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

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 - .
The tobacco industry means a big
business for Bamberg county, and the
purpose of this association is to look
after the tobacco interests.
