Nothing that The Herald could say
would raise the estimation in which
Mr. J. F. Carter is held by the people
of Bamberg county, for he is alJ
? t 1 J -? V? i crVi oof ocl
TCiiUy IltJIU ill Liic uj
the people of his home county, who
know him well. Mr. Carter's name
will he placed before the legislature
for successor to the late and lamented
Supreme Court Justice D. E.
Hydrick. If the legislature elects
Mr. Carter to this position, it will
make no mistake, as all wrho know
him are well aware. He is a man
of undoubted legal ability, a thorough
gentleman in every respect. His legal
record is one of which any lawyer
might well be proud. Although
a Christian gentleman of unusual dignity,
Mr. Carter posseses nothing of j
that stiffness which often precludes
Intimacy. All in all, The Herald
frankly says it cannot think of a
man whom it considers better qualified
for the honorable place of supreme
court justice.

i Nothing will do more to promote
ihft rfilations between the white and
-colored people than the actions of
the negroes in Calhoun county last
week, when - a negro boy shot and
killed a white man, against whom he
had a grudge, and wounding his wife
and baby and a neighbor who was
calling on the young farmer at the
time. Throughout the search for the
murderer, according to Sheriff Hill,
of Calhoun county, the colored people
not only did not interfere wKh j
the efforts of the officers, but, on the
contrary, rendered them every assistance
in capturing the fugitive. In
fact, it was through information given
Sheriff Hill by colored men that the
hoy was finally located. There is
never anything to be gained by the
colored people shielding a member
of their race when a crime is committed*.
No doubt this action on the
/ t
/part of the negroes was an incentive
to the officers to put forth every effort
to protect the boy from the enraged
citizens, who might have not
dealt leniently with him if they
had gained possession of the negro
when outraged feeling was running
high. The officers are to be com
fho cnpppssfnl manner in
liiCUUCU 1U A vuv
which they handled the case, and it
it felt that the law has been fully
vindicated by both whites and blacks,
?o far as it lies in their hands. The
negro should have a speedy trial and
such justice as he is entitled to meted
out without delay.

LONE STAR NEGRO
IX PENITENTIARY
(Continued from page 1, column 3.)
arrived at the penitentiary about
2:30 o'clock.
Members of the party described the
crime as being one of the most dastardly
ever committed in Calhoun
-county. It seems that the negro, who
is a dark ginger cake colored boy,
had stolen some meat from Mr. Wad,
ford, a young farmer, ana had later
admitted his guilt to Mr. Wadford.
This is said to have occurred early
in the week. Wednesday night Fogle
appeared at the Wadford home and
called Mr. Wadford to the door, asking
the young farmer for a match, it
is said. Mr. Wadford turned his
back to the negro and as he did so
Fogle opened tire on mm wim a single
barrel shotgun, killing Mr. Wadford
almost insiantly.
Leg Shot Off.
Corbett Zeigler, a neighbor who
, happened to be at the Wadford home I
at the time, together with Mrs. Wad- j
ford, rushed to the assistance of the
fallen man. As Mr. Zeigler and Mrs. j
Wadford were in the act of placing!
Mr. Wadford on a led the negro iired !
again, this time through a window,
the entire load taking effect in Mr.
Zeigler's right thigh. Fogle then reloaded
his gun and fired on Mrs. Wadford,
a number of shot hitting her
and 20 shot talcing effect in the lour
months old baey. Neither Mrs. Wad-ford
nor the baby are thought to bo
seriously hurt, Sheriff Hill said. Fogle,
alter shooting at Mrs. Wadtord,
reloaded his gun twice and shot both
loads through the window, neither
- taking effect on any of the o.cupams
cf the house. The negro men luxi
and remained in hiding iii.ili he w.as
located in the smail house about s x
miles from t.e scene o: the shooilng,
which was near Lone Star, Callioua
county.
Mr. Zeisier was brought to Columbia
where his right leg was amputated
Thursday. His condition last
night was reported to be critical.
Sheriff Hill was high in his praise
of the three negroes who aided him
and his men. Capture of Fogle would
have been much more difficult if these
negroes had not aided him. The slier
; iff also praised the negroes of the
community for their assistance, al
members of the race offering to dc
anything possible to help capture Fo
gle.
A large number of white people
also assisted the sheriff, he said
many of them giving valuable aid tc
the officers. Sheriff Hill said automobiles
were scouring the country
for Fogle, but at no time was any
trouble between the races expected.
"We had help from both races and I
am proud of the men who aided me,
Sheriff Hill said.
Cooper Praises Hill.
Sheriff Hill's courageous work was
commented upon widely yesterday afternoon
and last night. Governor
Cooper was high in his praise of the
-.cc < T nonnnt fftmmcmrl
v^ainuun oiuuei. *
Sheriff Hill too highly for the splendid
and courageous manner in which
he performed a dangerous and delicate
duty," Governor Cooper said.
"I feel in justice to Sheriff Hill that
I should publicly thank him for his
efforts and brave work. The majesty
of the law is safe in his hands."
Governor Cooper also commended
the action of the negroes in giving
the sheriff aid and the white people
for their part in seeing that the law
| took its course. Sheriff Dukes was
also commended for his assistance
and the governor was pleased with
the work of all officers and men arresting
the negro.

"Now, there's your husband coming,
Mrs. Candour," said Mr. Funniman.
"Let's make a little surprise
for him. Mrs. Funniman and I will
hide behind the curtains here and
you can tell him that the expected
guests haven't come. Then we will
step out and surprise him."
(Enter Mr. Candour. Mrs. Candour

and Mrs. Funniman haven't arrived."
"I'm glad of it," responded Mr.
Candour heartily.
RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT."
Whereas, God, in His infinite wisdom,
saw fit, on January 1st, 1921,
to remove from us' by death our
friend and co-worker, Mr. W. M.
Brabham;
And, whereas, we, the trustees of
the Bamberg School District feel
keenly the loss of one who has served
so faithfully and long as Chairman
of the board;
Therefore, be it resolved, that in
the death of Mr. W. M. Brabham,
the schools have lost one of their truest
friends, the trustees one of their
ablest advisers, and the community
at large one of its best citizens.
Resolved, further, that we extend
to the bereaved family our heartfelt
sympathy, and pray that God's richest
blessings may rest on them in
this sad hour;
Be it further resolved, that a page
in our minute book be inscribed to
his memory and a copy, suitably engrossed,
be sent to the bereaved family
and also published in the county
papers.

- PIMPLES
A PRETTY FACE
i! ,
J! A beautiful young lady was constantlv
vexed and irritated by pim"
I pies and inflamed eruptions upon
i her body and face. Her face esi
j pecially pretty, was made ugly by
I these awful blotches which usually
' I indicate eczema, or some similar
| skin rash. She found no relief un"
j til she tried Zemerine. This aile'iviated
the burning itching and rer
j stored a healthy vitality to her skin.
Zemerine can be bought in two sizes
| (50c and $1) from leading druggists
and your money will be refunded
if a fair trial brings no benefits.
BIG EGG YTEL1L
"From a small flock of hens I now
get 20 lb 25 eggs per day, whereas
before giving them Dr. LeGear's
Poultry Prescription, I only received
| three or four. Its cost has been re paid
to me over and over." So
l\ writes Mrs. J. W. Montgomery, Tunjnell
Hill, Ga. ,
You should increase your yield
now, while prices are high, through
.Dr. LeGear's Poultry Prescription,
j It is a tonic which builds up the hen's
strength and vitality, and stimulates
>the egg-producing organs.
For 28 years Dr. LeGear has been
recognized as America's foremost expert
poultry breeder and veterinarian.
Any time your poultry or stock
are ailing, it will pay you to get the
proper Dr. LeGear Remedy from your
dealer. It must give satisfaction, or
your dealer will refund your money.
She Felt Uncomfortable.
Her shoulder itched intensely, her
inflamed skin burned, yet she couldn't
scratch in the crowd! Why
suffer like this? Zemerine allays
itching. Sold in two sizes (50 cents
and 31) by leading druggists.
