I'se Your Head.
A woodpecker pecks
Out a great many specks
Of sawdust
When building a hut;
He works like a nigger
To make the hole bigger.
He's sore if
His cutter won't cut.
He don't bother with plans
Of cheap artisans.
But there's one thing
Can rightly be said;
The whole excavation
Has this explanation
He builds it
Bv
Using
Head.
?Harlem Davis.
The city of Bamberg is to be congratulated
upon the selection of the
new commissioners of public works.
The three gentlemen named are business
men of undoubted ability, men
of big business who have handled
their own affairs successfully, and
who, it may be confidently expected,
will handle the waterworks and pow- i
er plant with like success. We do (
not believe that three better men '
could have been found for the important
work of rehabilitation of the
public utilities of the town.
The Herald has not had the opportunity
of talking with Representa- j
tive Riley recently, but it has had an
expression from the other two mem
bers of the Bamberg delegation 10 \
the general assembly, Mr. Kearse and j
Dr. Black. Both of these gentlemen
express themselves as opposed to any
increase of appropriations at the present
session of the general assembly;
in fact, we should judge that they
are inclined to the belief that the ;
appropriations should be* reduced. (
"While we do not know' Mr. Riley's
attitude, we believe we can safely say ,
that he is also opposed to an increased
appropriation bill.
m
It is gratifying to note that interest
has increased in the cotton acreage
reduction movement in this
county. The meeting at the court
house Tuesday was well attended by
farmers from nearly every section of
the county. A noteworthy fact that
was brought out at the meeting was
that while in some counties of this
state last year from 20 to 30 acres!
of cotton were planted per plow, the j
average in Bamberg was not more j
than eight to ten acres. It is gener- j
ally conceded that the farmers of!
this county are in far better circum-j
stances today than most of the coun-j ,
ties of South Carolina, it appears,'
that the less cotton planted last year j
the less money was lost on the crop, j'
^ ?
The Herald cannot bring itself to j
believe that there exists a necessity I
for a woman's dormitory at the Uni- I
versity of South Carolina. Tt would, j
of course, be very nice to have such j
a building, and we sympathize with i
the ambition to secure this woman's j
building. We trust that one day it
will be a reality. Under the present j
conditions, however, we cannot see j
the wisdom of an appropriation for
this purpose. There are institutions
in this state for the women that we
thnk will answer very well. The
state has spent enormous sums of
money to provide the women's institutions
with the facilities for
lighter learning, and while it is true
that mapv women doubtless desire
the special instruction given at the
university, this number is not great.
If the instruction at the women's j
institutions is inadequate, we sug- j
gest raising the standard to meet the i
needs of the women. It must be remembered
that the people have I
groaned under the burden of war j
time taxation for several years past, j
There has been little demurring on'
account of high taxes of the recent j
noct hPMtisp n* a rule, the people
were able to pay heavy taxes. Now
they are not. No one is any longer!
making money because of the war,
and it is quite enough to pay the regular
taxes this year without The ad-|
ditional burden of an expense that!
is not an absolute and immediate ne-j
cessity. The neople of the <date have!
gotten along this long without the.
v woman's building, and we believe'
j
that the state can get along, without,
serious injury to the cause of higher {
education, for some years to cornel
without this expenditure. The Her-;
aid believes that it is the duty ofj
the legislature to not appropriate a I
single dollar that is not absolutely!
necessary this year.

Don't Wglect Vonr Fruit Trees.
i'nder normal conditions the importance
of the home orchard is supplementing
the family food supply is
too great to he estimated. Therefore.
with the invasion of the cotton
boll weevil, a menace to the south's
money crop and a pest to remain
with us?and the abnormal prices ol
foodstuffs, a few fruit trees should
be planted about every home. Fall
and winter months are best for orchard
work and there is only one
thing that pays better than having a
sound knowledge of how to care for
an orchard; and that is to use it and
make yours the best in the county.
The mere fact of a high priced fruit
tree planted does not insure fruitful
returns, anu 11 mey are iiui piupcui
cared for, all the owner gets for his
labor and money invested* is insects
and disappointment. We urge you
to begin at once and either plant a
few trees or prune, spray and cultivate
those you already have and give
them a fair chance and not results.
The shortage of good trees and
vines with the prevailing high prices
of fruit should be accepted as an object
lesson and the combination ought
to encourage the planting of a few
fruit trees on every farm and better
attention given to the old orchard,
fl you have a home orchard or even
better a few scattered plantings of
fruit trees that are worthy of attention,
begin a once to prune, spray,
worm and cultivate, otherwise arrange
to plant one-fourth acre (approximately
30 trees and vines). At
this time trees and vines to plant
one-fourth acre, which is enough to
supply the average family, will cost
between $10.00 and $15.00. You can't
afford to neglect yours, as the fruit
trees when neglected will gradually
decline in vigor and finally die.
Tn conjunction with the county
agents throughout the state a campaign
of winter pruning, spraying and
related work is already in progress
in the various counties. The horticultural
specialists of the extension
service, Clemson College, S. C., have
arranged and are now carrying out
a schedule by which to spend one to
three days with each county agent.
If you are interested in growing fruit
trees either on a large or small scale,
and desire information, write, phone
Dr ask your county agent for information
concerning orchard week and
arrange to attend some of the field
demonstration in pruning and spraying
that will be given over the county
during the week that is designated
as "orchard week."
Get- behind this movement and let's
see a good orchard on every farm
throughout the county.

Probably the most sensational !
! story was told the jury in court of!
:j general sessions shortly before the
: noon recess today when Charley Newj
man. charged with forgery, took the
>1 stand and swore that F. M. Orisseette,
I i
| editor of the Woodruff News, had in'!
vaded the sanctity of Newman's hornet
land had stolen his wife's affections. I
Mr. Grissette. Newman said, admitted |
i
j that he loved Mrs. Newman far morel
!J than he loved his own wife, who was
.; not living at Woodruff at that time.
j Newman said Mr. Grissette signified j
l his willingness to do anything to i
; |
make restitution to the Newman homei
; and it was finally decided that Gris-j
.; sette was to contribute to the upkeep j
i of the Newman nousenom, wnicn con-1
;j sisted of .Air. and Mrs. Newman and I
i their small son. After that time New-J
I man swore that many checks were i
,! given the Newman family by Mr. Gris-j
j sette and later on when Newman was;
:! out of work Mr. Grissette practically!
i " i
supported the Newman home, tlie wit-j
| ness said.
Newman testified Grissette came to!
j him one day and told him that the!
Grissette account at a Woodruff bank j
had been overdrawn and that he
.
j (Grissette) was in serious trouble be-;
! cause of this state of affairs. The
matter was discussed by the two men
| at length and it was finally decided
j that Newman would leave the state
j and allow the authorities to conclude
! hat he had forged the checks he had j
j cashed, Newman told the twelve
; jurors.
! Grissette met him in Spartanburg
! and handed him $12.50, he said, and!
! ' i
| Newman immediately went to An- J
| gusta. While in the Georgia city
i Newman testified Grissette sent him!
I $10 with which to pay his fyoard.
Later Newman went to Gastonia
i and a short time later lie was arrest-'
led and brought back to Spartanburg!
I to face trial on the charge of forging'
! i
l Grissette's name to a check for $1.4.1
i Newman was found guilty, however, !
and was sentenced to one year in
the penitentiary this afternoon.?
