Wfyz pamtierg Heralb ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1S91. Published Weekly at Bamberg, S. C. Entered as second-class matter April 1891, under Act of March 3, 1879. $2.00 PER YEAR. Volume 29. Xo. 32. Thursday, August 5, 1920. Last week we read in the papers that intoxicated cows led the officers to a still somewhere or other. Mon day we read where intoxicated hogs led to the discovery of another still somewrhere else. Perhaps it may be wise to add a few hogs and cows to the detective force throughout the - country. The "Carolinian" is the name of Cliff Langford's paper at St. Matthews. Mr. Langford up to a few - ? ? All 3 _ 1 ^ weeks ago puonsnea tne Aiienaaie County Citizen, a very bright and newsy paper, but he failed to receive the support needed for the paper he wanted to give Allendale, so he went r* to St. Matthews, taking over the Calhoun Advance. The Carolinian is a creditable production, and no doubt will be handsomely supported by the people of Calhoun county. The Aiken Journal and Review chronicled last week the twelfth ^'murder" in Aiken county to come before the next term of court. We thought that only a jury was qualified to pronounce a killing a "murder." However, whether it be- murder or just plain killing, twelve homicides in one county in South Carolina between sessions of court is something appalling. What is wrong with our people that wholesale slaughter is the order of the day? . There is not another country on the face of the globe that can match America in the matter of killing people in times of peace, and there is hardly a state in the union that K * equals South Carolina. Major Griffitts stated the other day in Bamberg that this town is to be made a model for other sections in the matter of malaria control, and said that it was a matter of certainty-, ty that malaria can and will be elim inted in Bamberg if the continued P coopertion of the people is given the malaria workers. Dr. Griffitts sugo gested that a campaign to get rid of the malaria that is already in the systems of the people would be a good thing. Many folks, we learn, have been under the impression, through lack of information on the subject, that with the completion of the malaria work here, they wrould never more be afflicted with the disease. In this they are wrong, and as Dr. Griffitts and all other physicians state, those persons who have malaria germs in their bodies will conp, ? tinue to be plagued with the disease v until all of these germs are eliminated. He further states that it is a common practice for malaria patients to take malaria treatment when they have chills and fever and immediately the chills and fever leave them, I they stop their medicine. This means that only a sufficient quantity of the germs have been expelled from the bo^y to cause a cessation of fever. The remaining germs get right to * work again, and in due time will reproduce sufficient germs to again grip the patient in more chills and fever. Dr. Griffitts suggested that the fever patients continue their treatment for several weeks after each attack, and they will thereby rid themselves of all germs. < m hi ? Court of Inquiry Finishes Probe. Graham, N. C., Aug. 3.?The court of inquiry appointed by Governor T. | W. Bickett to investigate the reportjj ed gun battle between the Durham machine gun company, guarding three negroes held in the Alamance county jail here against mob violence jj on the night of July 10, and a masked mob, in which James Ray, a Graham citizen, lost his life, and two other men were wounded, brought its official hearing to a close this afternoon at 4:10 o'clock without rendering a \ verdict in specific charges filed by Alamance citizens that the machine gunners had fired their shots without provocation. Immediately following the conclu sion of evidence, tne commissioners, A. H. Boyden, of Salisbury; General I B. S. Rovster, of Oxford, and Judge \ H. W .Whedbee, of Greenville, held a J consultation in tlie grand jury room. A? they left the room Colonel Hoyden informed newspaper men that no verdict will he rendered until the 30,000 or more words of evidence have been submitted in typewritten form and redigested. The commission will meet probably within a week in Raleigh, to draft their report to Governor Bickett. Charges that the militiamen had fired on citizens without provocation preferred by 66 Alamance county citizens in a sworn statement which was filed in the evidence, were contradict ed by Captain Jim Smith and other witnesses, who said that the first shot was not fired from an army automatic pistol. Charges that the machine gunners wer? intoxicated on the night of the shooting and that they acted in an unbecoming manner were decided by testimony of Attorney E. S. Parker, McBride Holt, manufacturer and banker and other citizens, who said the soldiers throughout their stay in Graham acted as gentlemen I of high calibre. C. A. Shue was the only witness who testified to the contrary. He said that he saw several | of the soldiers on the jail porch singi ing boisterously, patting their feet occasionally shouting. From start to finish during today's hearing witnesses declared that no yy>^v, ti-oo fnrmpd in Graham iliddivcu U1U u III uu ? ? on the night of the shooting, and that there was absolutely no sign of a mob around the jail, although several of them admitted that the attitude of the crowd surrounding the jail on Sunday July 18, was threatening.
