SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.
C. H. Mitchell, who has been un?
der treatment at a Columbia hospital
for the past wefk, has returned
home.
Mrs. G. E. Hutto was carried to ?
a hospital in Charleston Sunday, (
where she will remain some time for
treatment.
S. Lyles Copeland, of Ehrhardt, ,
son of S. W. Copeland, has been ap- i
pointed to a scholarship at Annapo- j
lis by Congressman James F. Byrnes 1
from the second congressional dis- ]
trict. ]
A small blaze at the home of F. i
O. Brabham did small damage one <
day last week. The roof caught fire
presumably from a spark, but it was i
extinguished before much damage was <
done.
John W. Folk is in Columbia un- 1
der treatment at the Baptist hospital.
His friends will be glad to learn that :
his condition is not considered at all
serious, and that he is soon expected (
to return home. s
r
L. S. Dukes, formerly express agent
here who has for some months been
located at Bowman, has gone to Newberry,
where he has accepted a position
as express agent. Requesting
his paper to be changed, he wrrites:
, x "We always like to read The Herald,
and don't wrant to miss a copy.'
The many friends throughout the
county of Dr. N. F. Kirkland will j
learn with genuine regret of his seri-\ }
ous illness. For some days past the }
doctor has been in a very precarious
condition . He is now in his nintieth
year, and until recently has
been in good health for a man of his
years.

A REMARKABLE YIELD.
,
W. B. Chitty Produces 150 Bushels of
' Rye From Three Acres.
John D. Brandon, county demonstration
agent, reports to The Herald
a remarkable yield of rye on the
plantation of W. B. Chitty, of Olar.
When it is considered that rye is
worth, ordinarily, some $3 to $4 a
bushel, it can readily be seen wrhat
the value of this crop is, and when
. the statement is made that this rye
came from pedigreed seed, the value
looms up as enormous.
"I have quite a bit of interesting
?
information from W. B. Chitty, of
Olar," said Mr. Brandon the other
day. "Mr. Chitty sowed three acres
of rye and harvested 150 bushels. No
commercial fertilizer was used except
75 pounds of soda, which was put on
as a top dresser in the spring. This
particular yield was made up on a
strip of land left at one side of his
oat field, wh'ich was one-half acre
wide and six acres long. This rye
followed a crop of corn, beans and
cow peas.
"Mr. Chitty gives the crop of beans
and peas the credit of the large yield. '
The Georgia method of planting two
2
rows of corn and one of beans was
r
used and the cow peas were sown in
j.i ?J .i i ? _ A. i : v.. ml, ?
tut; niiuuies ai ia^ixig-uv nuie. iuc
litter produced bV these crops was
chopped up with a disc harrow and
thoroughly incorporated with the soil j.
before seeding the oats and rye. The
oats yielded 65 bushels per acre. The
rye was seeded at tfce rate of one-half
bushel per acre, and the seed was ob- a
tained from the Olar high school s
grounds, coming immediately from j.
the Coker seed farm. Mr. Chitty sent (
Mr. Coker a sample of his rye and a
Mr. Coker reported that the seed was *
as good as his seed, which he is of- t
fering for $8.10 per bushel.
"Mr.\ Chitty had considerable trou- \
ble harvesting his rye, and gave the *
S
imrirpccmn Hint it was his advice to
farmers not to make such yields. He t;
tried to harvest it with a tractor and a
binder, but the draft was so heavy 1
that the tractor dug in; then a tractor j
and two mules was tried' and the trac- t
tor dug in again. The job was com- t
pleted with four mules and binder, *
Fie binder taking one-half of the
swath that it was capable of taking, j
This field now has a fine crop of pea- I
nuts and peavine hay on it." (

The court of general sessions,
which convened in Bamberg September
6th, was adjourned sine die
Friday afternoon late, nearly the
entire docket being cleared. The
session was conspicious for the absence
of any pleas of guilty. The
court officials returned to their respective
hemes Friday night and
Saturday morning. The following
cases were disposed of after last
week's Herald went to press:
Samuel Mitchell was found guilty
Df manslaughter in the killing of his
brother, Edmund Mitchell. Samuel
is a young boy and the judge sentenced
him to serve two years in the
reformatory. He was alleged to have
killed his brother during a family

William Butler was given a senmice

works or a fine of $1,000 for indecent

The case against Walker Smith,
charged with larceny, was nol prossed.
Perhaps the most interesting case
if the session was that of Mrs. Lottie
Barrs, a young and attractive woman,
who was charged with killing
ler husband last spring. It required
the jury only a few minutes deliberation
to acquit her of the
charge. Mrs. Barrs struck her huV
land on the head with a hoe at their
lome in the lower section of the
county during a quarrel. He was
carried to a Charleston hospital,
where he lingered for a month and
lied. Mrs. Barrs was with her husland
during most of this time. It
was alleged that he treated hef cru
illy on many occasions. A bottle of
Dlind tiger liquor played an importmt
part in the killing, as it was aleged
he was trying to get the liquor
it the time, which Mrs. Barrs objected
to.
J. B. Stevens was foutfd guilty of

of violation of the prohibition law,
tnd was sentenced to serve one year.

of a fine. This was Almeda's

that her previous fine did

John Clark and John Scott were
harged with the larceny of live stock,
rhe case against Scott was nol pros:ed,

DEATH OF D. P. SMITH.
Prominent Citizen Died in Charleston
Hospital Monday.
?
The death of D. P. Smith, which
occurred in a Charleston hospital on
Monday last, came as a shock to his
numerous friends, relatives and acquaintances
all over the county, very
few of whom knew that he was ill.
Mr. Smith died following an operation
for appendicitis. He was stricken
only a few days before his death.
Mr. Smith was in Bamberg about a
week previously apparently in the
best of health.
The remains were brought home
Tuesday morning, and interment took
place at Pleasant Hill Methodist
church Wednesday morning at 10:30
o'clock. The funeral services were
conducted by the Rev. Geo. P. White,
of Bamberg, in the absence of his
pastor, the Rev. D. H. Owings, of
Ehrhardt.
Mr. Smith was a member of Oak
Grove Baptist church, near Ehrhardt.
He was prominent in all community
matters, and was a man who will be
sorely missed inl his neighborhood
and throughout tne county. He was
one of the county's most substantial
citizens, and he enjoyed universal
respect and confidence. Mr. Smith
was a member of the Democratic executive
committee, and the fact that
he was lying a corpse when the primary
was being held cast a pall over
his community and the county.
In his death the county has lost one
of its leading Christian citizens.
Mr. Smith was about 4 0 years of
age. He is survived by his widow,
who was Miss Rentz, daughter of
Calvin Rentz, and three children, the
eldest of whom is about 15 years old.
Two sisters and a brother also survive:
Mrs. J. Wms. Carter, Mrs.
Alex Carter, who live in the same
community, and Leroy Smith, a lieutenant
in the late war. The deceased
was the son of the late John Smith.

A shower will be given at Guilds
hall Thursday afternoon at 5:30 for
the benefit of the Carlisle infirmary.

A beautiful young lady was coni

and inflamed eruptions upon
her body and face. Her face especially
pretty, was made ugly by
j- these awful blotches which usually
^indicate eczema, or some similar
\skin rash. She found no relief un\til
she tried Zemerine. This allewiated
the burning itching and restored
a healthy vitality to her skin.

The Associated Medical Specialists,

with such unusual success throughout
the entire Southeast, will be in
Bamberg, Saturday, September 18th,
for one day only, to demonstrate their
new method of treatment of chronic

more than one doctor alone

is strength.
The offer to treat all who call on

It makes no difference how many
