Peter Stokes, presiding elder of the Orangeburg district, will preach at Trinity Methodist church next Sunday night at 7:30, and hold the first quarterly conference. A cordial invitation is extended to all. A coating of soot was seen all over town last Friday morning, due prob^ ably to atmospheric conditions. The night was very still, scarcely a breath of air stirring, with a heavy atmosphere which forced the smoke to the earth. The smoke was oppressive during the night. The Southern railway announces that effective next Sunday, January 30th, the afternoon train from Augusta to Branehville will leave Augusta at 4:20 p. m., instead of 3:20, as at present, which will make the train arrive in Bamberg one hour later than ' the present schedule. t The Coastal Life Insurance company has been organized in Bamberg, with Dr. George F.

A small fire occurred Tuesday aft- , ernoon at the home of E. F. Free, when sparks from a chimney ignited . the* roof of the house.

Mayfield, of Denmark, was in The Herald office Monday. Mr. May- ; field stated that up to the present < time there has been 30 carloads of peanuts shipped from Denmark to other markets, and that the average < ?i -_ j i jcaa nn price per canoau. nets uccu <pow.vv. < Mr. Mayfield also stated that this j number of cars represented only j about one-third of the peanuts grown ( in the Denmark section. f Dead Give-Away. i Little Jeanie gazed long and j thoughtfully at the young man who < was calling on her grown-up sister, ] Maude. "May I climb upon your knee, Mr. i Green," she inquired at last. t "Yes, of course, dear," smiled the i young man, who wanted to make a < hit with the family. \ "Want to pull ' my hair?eh?" 1 "No; I want to see if I can find i that word," replied the little girl. < "What word?" asked the visitor in bewilderment. 1 "I heard Maude say this morning i that if a man ever had the word , 'idiot' written all over his face that man was you." '^D m? ? Slamming the Lawyers. , I Poor old Pat Malone had just had dealings with a lawyer. It is uncertain whether the fault was Pat's or the lawyer's, but if either party came out .of the deal satisfied it was not Patrick. He was feeling particularly resentful arainst all lawyers, and his grouch lasted and was still strong upon him when two days later he met Mike. "Mike, me bho," he said, "all lawyers is just like a sleepless man." "A sleepless man! Why do you say that, Pat?" "Bejabers! Shure and he lies first on one side and then on the other, 1 and he is wide awake all the time. 1 And, faith, when he dies he lies^still!" : v \ ? ? ?? . . COUIiT IN SESSION. Several Murder Cases Tried.?Amid Woodberry Convicted. The court of general sessions convened in Bamberg Monday morning with Judge T. J. Mauldin on the bench. This is the first visit to Bamberg in six years for Judge Mauldin, Solictior Gunter and Stenographer Allen were in their usual places Monday morning. As usual, there were a few absences among the jurors, and after these places were filled from the five| mile box, the grand jury was organized by electing J. D. Copeland as foreman, Judge Mauldin charged i h a ^ M /\ /-? 1 Ar^ rr f h A r\ d tixo gxaiiu jurj' cit suxne 1CU5111, auu his address was characterized as one of the strongest heard in the court house in some time. He admonished the grand jury to protect the interests of the county, but cautioned them not to allow any man to use the grand jury to further his own selfish ends. The first case up for trial was that of Anna Woodberry, who is charged with murder in the killing of her husband, James Woodberry. James Woodberry was shot with a shot gun in his home on December 6th. 1919, and when officers reached the place Anna declared to them that two white men had shot him through a window, and the two small children of the couple told the same story at that time. However, the evidence pointed to Anna, and she was arrested and put in jail. The two children, under strong questioning, admitted that they had misled the officers, and told them their mother had shot their father, and that she had coached them to tell the tale about two white men. In the meantime after Anna had stayed in jail all night, she decided that the truth would be better for her than an untruth, so she sent for her employer and told him the whole story. Anna freely acknowleddged on the witness stand that she had told an untruth at first, but explained that she wras scared and said ihe first thing she could think of. Several white men who knew her testified to Anna's good character and to the bad character of her husband. It was brought out that he bad beat her and mistreated her and threatened to kill her on previous occasions. On the night in question she said, Woodberry made toward her with an axe, that she secured the shot gun, with .which she shot him 'own. When he attempted to get up, she got the axe and finished the ioh by s'ri- ing him in the head two r>r three times Anna was found guilty of manslaughter b> the jury. Beacher Bryant pleaded .guilty to housebreaking ?nd larceny, and was' sentenced by Judge Mauldin to 18 months service on the public works. Bryant was charged wi'i enieringj the store of Mac Halyard, colored,! and stealing therefrom a quantity of merchandise. He explained to the: judge that he did not go into the j store himself, that there ^'as a "lady" along who did the entering, but the judge held that he was just as guilty! as if he did it himself. ^ The goods I were found buried by Sheriff Ray. | The next case was that of Mose j Murray, charged with the murder ofj Cleveland Faust. Mose had been j tried once before, but the jury failed | to agree on a verdict. It appeared j irom the testimony that a dance was: m at the home of Faust's father, and' state witnesses testified that Mosej eecame boisterous and made the atmosphere blue with cursing, and that Cleveland Faust went to him and isked him to desist as his father was,; sick in another room, whereupon' i Mose pulled his pistol and shot him. Then Bennie Faust, a brother, firedj apon Murray according to his own' :estimony, inflicting more or less se-j "ious wounds. Cleveland jumped outi Df a window, according to the state's: version, and got under the house, being later rescued and started for the doctor, dying on the way, however. The defence contended, however, that there was a conspiracy between the Faust brothers to do Murray to death that night, and that Cleveland Faust first shot Mose Murray, then they crowded around mm; .uurray finding it necessary to "shoot his way out." There were pistol wounds on Murray, according to the physician, of two calibres of pistols. The jury had not reached a verdict up to late Tuesday afternoon. The trial of Monnie Warren for the killing of David Dyches a few days ago did not occupy the attention of the court but a short while. Warren, with a number of other negro boys, was sitting in a room, when Warren got a shot gun, with which he was not familiar, and while playing with the safety it was discharged, the discharge killing Dyches instantly. After the testimony of the state A verdict of amnslaughter was returned against Mose Murray. Sentenec has not been passed on him yet. DOCTORS HOLD MEETING. I Eighth District Medical Men Hold Fine Session Wednesday. The semi-annual meeting of the :\ Eighth District Medical society was s! held at the LaVictoire theatre, Bam berg, on Wednesday of last week. . The meeting was characterized as one of the best the society has had in some time. About thirty doctors were present, and keen interest was taken ; in the various discussions. The meeting was called to order . by the president, Dr. J. S. Palmer, of . Allendale, and the invocation 'was i made by Rev. S. 0. Cantey. LaVerne Thomas welcomed the doctors to Bamberg on behalf of the city coun i cil, ana Dr. .Robert Black on behalf of the doctors of Bamberg. This was followed by the reading of the minutes of the last meeting by the secrei tary, Dr. G. W. I. Loadholt, of Fairfax*. The scientific programme was one of timely interest to the doctors, and the discussions were of a very help| ful and instructive nature. The society was fortunate in securing some of the foremost doctors of the state | as speakers. The diseases of chil dren, hemorrhagic fever and frac! tures were the subjects of discussion. {Papers were read by Dr. William Wes" ton, of Columbia; Dr. E. A. Hines, of Seneca, secretary of the state medical association; Dr. Lessene Smith, of Spartanburg; Dr. S. E. Harmon, of Columbia, and Dr. James A. Hayne, of Columbia, secretary of the state board of health. Other visiting doctors present were Dr. W. P. Cornell, Dr. LaBruce Ward, Dr. Julius H. Fogle, Dr. Boiling, and Dr. M. H. Wyman, all of Columbia; Dr W P. Timmerman. of Batesburg, president of the state medical association, and Dr. C. A. Mobley, of Orangeburg. Dinner was served to the medical society and visiting doctors at the Johns hotel. The next meeting of . the eighth district society will be held ; in July at Barnwell, at which time officers for the ensuing year will be elected. 1 Veterans Elect Board. A meeting of the Confederate vet| i erans was held January 19 th at the court house for the purpose of filling vacancies that existed on the pension board. J. H. Zeigler was elected 1 chairman of the meeting, and he pre- ^ sided. Dr. G. W. Garland was elected to fill the unexpired term of J. D. ] Felder, resigned. J. C. Copeland, of Ehrhardt, was elected t^o fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of 3 Calvin Rentz, and Dr. Garland was re-elected adjutant. Ehrhardt High Beats Smoaks. < t Ehrhardt, Jan. 22.?The Ehrhardt J high school basketball team yesterday took the lead in the Colleton- 1 Bamberg intercounty championship by < defeating the Smoaks high school 1 by the score of 18 to 14. Sauls starr- < ed for Smoaks at guard, while the 1 work of Roberts and Morningstar for t Ehrhardt was of a high order. * 1 Advertising Efficiency. c Perhaps the biggest advertising c campaign ever conducted by a mer- e chant of this county is now being car- j ried on by Goolsby & Son, of Denmark. E. J. Sullivan, sales expert, of Minneapolis, is conducting the sale at this Denmark store. Mr. Sullivan is an expert in advertising and is a firm believer in the power of printer's ink. To start the sale off Mr. Sullivan had 13,000 four page posters printed in The Herald office, followed! f by a page advertisement in this newspaper. This was followed by the j "airplane edition," with which unique . means several thousand circulars were ? distributed from an airplane. The past week seven thousand more cir- , culars were printed and distributed , throughout this section. As a result of this tremendous ad- . vertising campaign, Mr. Goolsby says that his store is crowded from morning to night by eager purchasers. The past ten days The Herald has been given over almost entirely to delivering the advertising matter for this * t. . ? -i ? j. j.i?i. monster saie. it is eviueiu iu.ni nsut prices coupled with efficient advertising will produce results.

Mauldin, Judge Presiding, Court of General Sessions for Bamberg County, January Term, 1921. We the grand jury beg leave to herewith make our preCOTltmont tVio linnnrohlo r?nn r>t We desire to thank the court for the many courtesies shown us by Your Honor and all the court and county officials. We have passed upon all bills handed us by the solicitor and have returned same to the court. We have investigated, as far as' possible in the short time that we have been in session, the very important matter pertaining to the vagrancy laws of this state stressed by the court in its charge to us, and we are very glad to report, that as far as we can find or ascertain, this particular law is being enforced by the different | peace officers throughout the county, and we assure the court and the citizens of the county that it shall be our aim and purpose to keep this! matter not only in our minds but! will urge upojn all of the magistrates, constables and other officers whose duties it is to enforce the laws, to! see that the law in this particular instance is rigidly enforced. We have, through a committee j from our body, examined all of the county offices and their books, and are very much pleased to state that all are in first class condition, and \ the books of each well and neatly kept, all of the county officials show-; ing us the greatest of courtesies in j all matters pertaining to their offices' and books. We hereby attach an j audit of all the officials and their offi-j ces ?at the court house as well as of all of the magistrates in the county, made and prepared by E. E. Jones < and John L. Trise of the Comptroller j aeneral's office which speaks well for all of our co'inty officials, in fact is j very complimentary to them. We are very sorry to have to state that the former recommendations of the grand juries, as to the necessary repairs for the county jail have not! been attended to, and we especially urge upon the proper officials to see that the ^lass windows and sash in the windows be repaired at once, as the inmates of the jail have not the ' proper comfort that is expected to be ] furnished them, the cold winds are a menace to the health and comfort and j1 we also urge the proper officials to j ] have done the other work and re-! J pairs on the jail which was recommended by our predecessors. We recommend that a suitable hed or building be erected in the rear 3f the'jail for the housing and pro-! ' ;ection of the county trucks and other j machinery. j A committee from our body has! Deen appointed to confer with the j ;ou'nty officials as to the installing of j f water works and sewerage for the! ! ( ;ourt house and jail and as soon as. ve can find a contractor who will do 1 ;he work within the appropriation j ^ !or that purpose, work on same will j J >e commenced. We have visited the chain gang, . i i ind find that the prisoners are in a j rood and sanitary condition, and ev-j jrything for the best interests of the! nmates thereof. Respectfully submitted, J.

WORK OX THE OLD ORCHARD. Give it a (Tiance by Looking After the Trees Carefully. Work on the old orchard'should begin at once, and should consist of thorough and careful spraying, pruning and cultivation. Why these operations? 1. Pruning. Preserves the life, health and vigor of the trees by removing the dead wood, diseased and interfering branches, concentrates the growth into fruit forming branches and encourages new weed growth in support of the next crop of fruit. 2. Spraying. Safe guards and prolongs the life of the trees by repelling insect and disease attacks, and decreases the percent of wormy fruit. However, it must be clearly understood that different pests require different sprays and that the winter application of spray is mainly for preserving the life of the trees. 3. Worming. Fruit trees cannot be expected to live unless you keep the worms out. Therefore the worms that burrow into the root of trees (the presence being indicated by sap exudation or jelly near the ground in the peach and plum and yellowing of the apple and pear) must be dug and cut out as spraying does not control this insect. ? 4. Cultivation. Aids in destroying weeds and grass, reduces the harboring places of insects, makes plant food materials available and stimulate tree growth. If you are interested in fruit growing either on a large or small scale write,-phone or ask your county agent concerning Orchard Week and arrange to attend some of the field demonstrations that will be given in the county during the week designated as "Orchard Week." There is only one thing .that pays better than a good sound knowledge of orchard management and that is to use it. Therefore less get behind the movement and make the orchards in this county the best in the state. J. D. BKAiMJUJN, County Agent. HAS SLEEPING SICKNESS. Voting Greenville Man Now Being Treated. Greenville, Jan. 22.?Physicians at John Hopkins hospital in Baltimore have diagnosed the puzzling affliction of I..Rex Rice, prominent young resiient of Greenville, as sleeping sickmess, but it is^believed that he has in excellent chance for recovery. This is the1 information brought to the nty today by a brother of Mr. Rice, Max Rice. Mr. Rice suffered from undue drow- { jiness a week or two ago and physi-j nans here were unable to diagnose! ;he disease. Upon their advice, rela:ives carried him to the Baltimore aosptal where he has been sleepng except at very brief intervals, when iwakened, for almost a week during sxaminations by specialists at the hospital where he has been sleeping ;o remain awake longer than to answer one or two questions. This is ;he first case of sleepng sickness vhich has developed in Greenvlle, it s said. It is believed the case is a * ?1- x 1^.-4. noomo i n ho Tin lglll (J lie Ulil LUCXC occmu I,\j uV| loubt but that it is sleeping sickness' 3hysicians have told Mr. Rice's relaives that he will likely have to reaain in the hospital for several weeks )ut that his complete recovery is exacted. Mr. Rice is president and nanager of the Judson Mill Store Lere, and is a son of Mr. and Mrs. oel T. Rice, prominent residents of Helton. He is about thirty, is unnarried and s a talented vocalist, inging in church choirs and at numirous musical concerts here. The Unhappy Chance. An American tells of a visit he mce made to the town of Yuste, in he northwestern corner of Spain, le had sought rest under discourgng circumstances, after a ride on uule-back over miles of dusty road, vv,iio fVio hrtctflca nf th a inn was 'V llllVj 111V/ XIV/tJCVMU V* reparing dinner, he proposed to himelf to rest upon the bed in the pubic room. Nothing could, he said, have been nore tempting than that cool white >ed, after his laborious trip, .and without saying a word to the Senora 'areno, he threw himself at full ength upon it. Scarcely had he done so when a ihriek arose, and the little woman lew at him like a wild creature. She eized him and dragged him off the ied with the strength of two^nen. He fas too much dazed 4to resist, but rereated before her. "Oh, Dios mio, Dois mio!" she houted. "They are ruined?ruined!" Vhereupon she tore back the cover >f the bed, and to the traveler's .mazement disclosed row after row if biscuits! They had been placed here to rise. To rise! Down the enter of the rows his weight had fattened them beyond recognition; ?nly at the farthest edge had a few scaped. - -V ' NOTICE.
