In the city of Boston since January
1 of this year there have been 13,747
arrests for drunkenness. During the
year 1919, when there were barrooms
in Boston, there were 31,630 arrests
fof drunkenness. Figures like these
cannot be explained satisfactorily by
those who would like to see a return
of liquor or a modification of the enforcement
law.
The Barnwell People has taken an
advanced step in the elimination of
its ready print service. This means
that the PeoDle is now Drinted entire
ly in Barnwell, and is, therefore, an
entirely home product. The People
explains that heretofore it has not
had sufficient advertising patronage
to warrant printing its whole paper
at home, but that its patronage has
recently increased to such an extent
that hereafter the whole paper will
be printed it its own office. We congratulate
the People on its prosperity.
In this connection we might say that
the Bamberg Herald has been a home
printed paper ior the last fifteen
years, and is now the only paper in
the founty setting all its own type
and doing its own press work. The
people of Bamberg long ago realized
the benefits attached to having a
modern paper, and have given liberal
support to The Herald. We might also
add, however, that because The
Herald is a modern wreekly and,
therefore, cannot cut its legal advertising
rate it is deprived of practically
all the legal advertising of the county
of Bamberg. This accounts for the
absence of the county advertising. If
we thought the county was financially
unabie to pay run rate lor its advertising
we would run it free, but we
don't think so. We have always had
an idea that the purpose of the county
advertising was to give publicity,
but it seems that this is not entirely
correct; get it as cheap as possible,
correct. This apepars to be one disad-i
vantage of giving the people a modern
all home print paper, but we trust j
the Barnwell People will not have!
, this experience.
ON THE SITE OF HIS WORK.
Remains of Founder of Wofford College
RevSt on College Campus.
The remains of Benjamin Wofford,
founder of the college which bears his
name, now rest on Wofford campus.
The reinterment of the remains of
Dr. Wofford and his wife took place
last evening at six o'clock, says a
Spartanburg dispatch of last week.
There were no exercises. Two or

leg faculty strolled down to the grave
and stood by while workmen under
the direction of Mayor Floyd placed
the boxes bearing the ashes of the ;
man who gave in his day the greater ,
individual sum of education, and 1
those of his wife, in soil shadowed ,
by the institution he founded.
The remains were taken from the
old burying ground near Cross Anchor
yesterday, and brought to the ;
city late yesteday afternoon. After ,
having rested in the earth for nearly
90 years, the coffin of the. peculiar
shape of that date was found in fair- i
. ly good state of preservation. 1
The graves of Benjamin Wofford
and his wife on Wofford campus lie 70
yards, one foot and 13 inches from j
the portals of the college building, 1
representing the age of the founder, 70
years, one month and 13 days, at ]
the time of his death.
Early in November a suitable marking
for the graves will be placed and 1
nrobablv there will be some ceremony
held on the occasion. > ,
Best Wishes For Brother Jones.
A celebrated revivalist came to address
his flock, and before he began f]
to speak the pastor said: "Brother
Jones before you begins this discourse ,
there are some powerful bad negroes
<
in this here congregation and I want J
to pray for you," which he did in this
fashion:
"O Lord, give Brother Jones the
eye of the eagle, that he may see sin
from afar. Glue his ear to the gospel
telephone, and connect him with
the central skies. Ifluminate his
brow with brightness that will make
the fires of hell look like a tallow
candle. Nail his hands to the gospel .
plow and bow his head in some lonesome
valley, where prayer is much
wanted to be said, and anoint 'him
all over with the kerosene oil of thy 1
salvation and set him afire."?Con- J

A Caution to the Negro Farme**.
It is true that we have had a han
fight this year with the boll weevi
trying to save our cotton; many sac
rifices were made because of the hig]
cost of living. Millions of dollar
werje used in the form of fertilize
and labor that has proven a tota
loss. This is very shocking am
heart rending to the farmer.
The thing that has caused th<
greatest depression in the hopes o
the farmers was the great drop ii
the price of cotton. He cannot.pa:
his bills of various kinds, his man:
obligations in many instances prevent
the supplying of home needi
and making those happy who were
prominent in waging the terrible
war against the boll weevil. This
has caused or brought about a greal
business depression not only on the
farm but in all lines of business.
With the unusual condition sur rounding
us many of our people have
left the farm> gone north and west,
Many are threatening to leave. This,
I think, is one of the greatest mistakes
the negro farmer and worker
has made in a long time and should
be checked at once.
Listen! The leaving of the thousands
of my people from South Carolina
and the south has caused the
loss of thousands of acres of lands,
homes, and millions of dollars. Because
of the great flurry in the nation's
business centers, the closing
of mines, factories, mills of various
kinds, thousands have been thrown
out of employment, without any income
and in many instances friends.
Those who are able are returning.
Those who are not able ar;e writing
their former friends to send tickets
that they may return. What a shame!
One thousand returned to their former
homes in Georgia last week.
I want to caution the negroes of
Bamberg county, of the state and of
J. _ j. T_ A n Vv _
me souui, 10 stay on me rarms uecause
it is one of the greatest places
in the world. Upon it depends the
progress of all business enterprises,
sustenance and support of the cities,
industrial enterprises, even the assured
life of a progressive nation.
Now, if this is true, which I firmly
believe deep down in my heart
is true, then the thing for us to do
is to not make the mistake of our
friends, but let's be thoughtful, less
wasteful, produce more sustaining
products on the farm and in general
and technical way, carry out the
caution of the sage of by-gone days,
Booker T. Washington, to let down
our buckets where we are. Through
this, which I believe to be a wise action,
we will not only save, the day
for ourselves and our beloved south,
but will prove ourselves to be a great
asset to our beloved country and nation.?E.

PIGMIES HUNT ELEPHANTS.
African Midgets Have Hard Time
Slaying Biggest of Beasts.
One of the queerest regions under
the sun?a land peopled by midgets,
scarcely four feet tall?has just been
explored by Dr. Leonard John Vandenbergh,
a Catholic missionary. Almost
a year ago the doctor's party
entered the Congo seeking traces of
the tribe of Mabuti, which, living
deep in the jungle, had heretofore
repelled all attempts of white men to
learn of its methods of living, its beliefs,
and its history. Dr. Vandenbergh,
however, after a generous gift
of salt and tobacco, succeeded in
winning the favor of the pigmies and
he not only lived for a time among
them but he got their permission to
him them at work and play.
He brought back with him, along
with the pictures, numerous interesting
stories of the Mabuti. Among
them is the account of the slaying of
an elephant, which is described as,
follows:
When they smell an elephant in
the vicinity, the whole tribe goes out
to hunt him. They keep on his
tracks for weeks at a time, slinging
their spears at him with steady hand
and eye. The men climb trees and
jump from branch to branch as the
animal below them makes his harried
way through the undergrowth. |
rhey throw their- weapons at him,
their aim being to strike him deeply
in a vital part. They haven't the
strength to throw a spear with suf
ficient force to deal a death blow.!
A.11 they can do and all they aim to
do is to have the weapon sufficiently
imbedded to impede the progress
af the animal as he is continually
prodded from the sides and from the
branches above. They force him to
butt the spears into the trunks of
trees, and very often succeed in virtually
making him commit suicide
by having him force the weapons into
his body.
They will follow the wounded and
tortured beast for as much as a
month. When he shows signs of complete
surrender, they deal the final
death blows by the whole mass of
them throwing their spears into his
sides. Once assured he can do them
ao harm, they swarm over his body
like so many ants and proceed to cut
