tEjje pamberg Jieralb ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. ' Published Weekly at Bamberg, S. C. Butered as second-class matter April 1891, under Act of March 3, 1879. $2.00 PER YEAR. Volume 30. No. 8. Thursday, February 24,1921 In former years it was a habit of * the courts to frequently impose the death sentence upon those committing murder. The practice has almost gone out of style with modern changes. But we are persuaded, so long as the penalty prescribed for murder is death, that it would., be a good custom to .revive. Somehow, the idea has become rather popular that a service on the chain gang is more profitable to the state and county than a death sentence. But the state is up against the problem now of murders every day. Even the younger generation can remember when a homicide among whites or blacks, was something to be talked about for weeks, perhaps. Now it creates little comment and no excitement at all. They have become entirely too common. Bamberg county may not speak of homicides in the state in a general or impersonal manner. She has her full share of them. m i m 1 ? The legislature has taken up a great deal of time this session discussing, without, so far, getting anywhere, the stock law. We are thankful that Bamberg county does not "enjoy" the privileges of the free s range, and we cannot see any good reason why the legislature should ac cord much time to the matter at all. * The writer has never lived in recent^ years in an}* community that allowed stock to run at large, therefore freely admits his inability to properly estimate the sentiments of free range advocates. On a general principle, however, regardless of the advantages attached to such a system, if advantages there are, we cannot i understand the justice of allowing one man's stock to run on another's land and eat his grass?and the crops thrown in. We don't helieve that such a proposition of disregard of the property of another is constituional, anyway, and if it is constitutional, the constitution ought to he changed. The idea of requiring any < farm owner to fence his farm to prevent other people's stock from eating his crops is ludicrous on the face of it. Whw should John Doe have to spend hundreds of dollars in order to keep Richard Roe's cows from eating his crops as fast as he plants them? Even though a majority of people in another county desire the free range, why should the taxpayers of Bamberg county be forcpd to contribute to the support of sucli a lop-sided proposition? It may be argued that Bamberg county has noTi:ng to do with it, and that u does not affect us. It does. Statistics show that the cattle tick has been I eradicated except in counties allowing the free range, and that it is almost an impossible task to rid the pests in such communities. The state has paid and is paying large sums of money to rid the entire state of this enemy of the livestock industry, and Bamberg has to pay its pros rata share, although the county has been free of ticks for several years. Thanks to the free range, there are cHii etipfcs in tho state. If certain counties persist .in retaining the free range, a privilege which we do not believe they are entitled to, then in justice to the other counties that do not want it and will not have it, we say let them fight their own ticks. They are not entitled to state protection. What it Means. Sunday morning, Brother Brown, an old colored preacher, used the word "phenomenon" in his sermon. After the services were over one of the congregation approached him and said: - "Brother Brown, what dat word, phenomenon, you was a-talkin' about disomurnin,' mean?" Brother Brown was a little puzzled himself as to Webster's exact definition, so he resorted to examples. "Well," he said, "you see, my bruther, if you see a cow, dat ain't no i i-f n c-QQ Q tVlictlfi I ^ il C11U 111 C UU11 , Ai. ^ U U O ^ u. buiubiv) I dat ain't no phenomenon; if you seel a bird, dat ain't no phenomenon.

"Do you notice the large number 1 of horny handed sons of toil who are 1 now riding in Pullman cars?" "I do," replied the traveling salesman. "And for my part, I'm glad to see them." "Why, so?"

Miller, a prominent attorney of this place, shot himself fatally this afternoon at 1 o'clock at his home here. The bullet entered the breast just above the heart, piercing the left lung. The bullet passed clear through the body, went through the window of the room and lodged in tne wan or tne nouse next door to the Miller home. Immediately after the shooting, Mr. Miller was rushed to the sanatorium at Chick Springs, but recovery is doubtful. He is 42 years years old and is closely identified with the business and political life of the section, and was a candidate for congress in 1915. Ill health is supposed to have been the cause of the tragedy. Mr. Miller was alone in his room, sitting on the bed, while Mrs. Miller was in an adjoining room. He has several children. A .32 calibre pistol was used. DETECTIVE DRUMMOND. Was Investigator of Original Ku Klux Klan. The death of Andrew L. Drummond, 76, former chief of the United States secret service, noted for his investigation of the original Ku Klux Klan was announced in New York ondMav. He died at his home .in Brooklyn Saturday. He joined the secret service in 1870 and.one of his first assignments was in connection with the famous southern secret org?'11'nation.

It happened that a couple of dogs joined the crowd. Believing in the potency of illustrations, he stopped and pointed to the dogs. Turning to an intelligent looking youth in the front of the crowd, he asked: "What would you do, my boy, if those two animals were to start fighting? Tell me." The youth gazed at the t"wo dogs with a critical eye. Then he replied: "I'd put a buck or two on that black one!" > Some Wind. A' stranger in New Mexico became very much excited and alarmed at the continued high wind, which carried tons of sand through the air during the day. He remarked to an old resident that it seemed to be an awful windstorm. The old resident replied: "Windstorm? This ain't no windstorm. Why stranger, last week the wind was blowing. You've seen ground squirrels? Well, I saw one of them thirty feet in the air?digging a ho'le in the sand." Got the Short One. The time had come to dole out the day's rations and in an Irish regiment the quartermaster and his assistants wer portioning thein out in preparation for distribution. At last, just before the orderly men were due to arrive, the assistant turned to the quartermaster. With a twinkle in his eye, Mike said: "Av ye plaze, sor, there's a loaf short. Who'll I give it to?" "Keep it yourself, Mike," replied the quartermaster. Redeeming TraiL "I know I'm old, but I'm crazy, about you," stated Mr. Moneybags. "When I go I'll leave all my fortune to you if you'll have me." "Have you any bad habits?" asked Miss Goldilocks thoughtfully. "Only that I walk in my sleep, if you could call that a bad habit." "You dear old thing. Of course I'll marry you. And we'll have our honeymoon on the top floor of some tall building, won't we?"?American Legion Weekly.
