The trouble with the railroad men
has broke loose. This was to be expected.
The attitude of the government
in regard to railroad employees
for the past few months has been
such that nothing else could be looked
for when a reduction in wages
should be anticipated. The government
has bowed down to the railroad
workmen in abject submission since
the war was declared. Now that conditions
demand a return to normal
the employees declare that there
shall be no return so far as their pay
is concerned. A strike has already
been declared on one of the big
southern lines, and more strikes may
be looked for. Inasmuch as positive
treatment will now have to be
taken, the people generally may feel
thankful that the railroads are no
longer under the control of the government.

The appropriation measure, as finally
ratified, carries an appropriation
of approximately a half million dollars
more than last year. This was
entirely too. much money to appropriate
this year. We believe that
almost every appropriation of last
xroar. chmiid havp been reduced.
Money is worth at least 20% more
this year than last, and every bit of
constructive work cotild have been
carried on with less money without
in any way injuring the interests of
the various programmes as previous.
ly outlined. However, through the
conservative work of some of the
members, including the Bamberg
delegation, the appropriations were
reduced several million dollars from
the sums asked by the different departments.
A ten million dollar bill,
as planned at the beginning of the
session, was, of course, entirely out
of the question.
While th? friends of Mr. Carter regret
exceedingly that the balloting
failed in his election as associate
justice of the supreme court, they
feel especially grateful for the loyal
and unstinted support he received in
the joint assembly. Thirty-nine ballots
were taken on the election, in
thirty-eight of which Mr. Carter
maintained a lead over the other
contestants. On the 38th ballot, due
to the absence of some of Mr. Car
ter's friends, Gen. Gonnam secured a
lead of one vote over Mr. Carter,
only to lose the lead on the next and
last ballot, when the assembly voted
to carry the election over until the
next session. This is a record which
must be a pride to everybody in
Bamberg county and the southern
part of the state. That this section
is entitled to representation on the
supreme bench was apparent to many
representatives and senators in other
sections, and the peculiar fitness for
the office of Mr. Carter was recognized
in such a general manner that he
was the choice throughout of a plurality
of the members of the general
assembly.
The care of cotton is a subject
which ought to interest the farmers
of Bamberg county especially at the
present time, when there is so much
cotton being held throughout the
county. An interesting experiment
was recently conducted by the Georgia
agricultural department, and the
results are striking* A circular letter
sent out by one of the cotton
factors of Augusta gives the following
information, in regard to the
experiment, which is worth passing
on:
A bale placed flat on the ground
fully exposed to the weather, in the
course of eight months was damaged
to the extent of 370 pounds. Another
bale placed on its edge with
no further attention lost 167 pounds.
A bale placed on its edge and
turned over once a week lost 110
pounds.
A bale placed on its end and not
turned lost 78 pounds while a bale
placed in a warehouse for the same
period lost only one pound.
In addition to the damage to the
cotton from the weather, it is either
not insured at all, or, if insured, it
carries an almost prohibitive rate.
The moral of this information
seems to be that cotton should be
properly warehoused. We do not
suggest to you that your cotton
should be stored in a bonded warehouse,
or any other kind of warehouse.
That is for you to decide.
What we do suggest is that there is
an apparent waste, judging from the
statement above, that can be eliminated,
and' any waste that can be
eliminated ought to be, whether cotton
is worth ten cents or forty.

The death of Champ Clark, leader
of the Democratic forces in the national
house, recalls the visit of the
Missouri statesman to Bamberg
county a year or two ago. Mr. Clark
filled a speaking engagement at
Olar. when lie addressed a large audience
in the graded school auditorium.
On his way back to Washington.
Mr. Clark stopped over in Bamberg
for a short while, and quite a
number of local people had the opportunity
of shaking hands and conversing
with him. Clark was a statesman
of the intellectual type of Ben
Tillman, without, however, the char-'
acteristic abruptness of Tillman.!
Whether one cared to be classed as1
a Clark man or not. he commanded
the deep respect of every southerner.
He was a man of the old school of
/
statesmanship?the horsesense kind.
: During the past few years he had
suffered political reverses which no
doubt, contributed largely to his
death. Eight years ago Ciark, according
to the ethics of politics,
should have been the Democratic
nnmineo for nrosident. and would
have been but for the political
treachery of W. J. Bryan. Bryan
went to the nominating convention
pledged to Clark, but al the critical
moment viciously attacked Clark
and threw his support to Woodrow
Wilson. That treachery is not an
asset in the life of any man, whether
it be in politics or other phases of
life, is shown in this incident. Bryan
soon lost the confidence of the Wilson
administration, and he surrendered
voluntarily the confidence of
Clark and his supporters at the convention.
Bryan may properly be
classed now as a man without a
party. Although Clark was made
speaker of the house, a position he
continued to hold until his party lost
control of congress, he is said to have
never recovered from Bryan's treachery.
At the last election, Clark
went down in defeat, and had he!
lived three days longer he would
have handed over his seat in the
~ I
house to a Republican.

His Knowledge Limited.
Samuel Hopkins Adams tells of a
friend up in his part of the country
who purchased a flivver and without
any knowledge of that kind of car
decided to drive it home.
Two miles out of town the little
flivver gave a spasmodic gasp and
died in the middle of the road. He
tried cranking, throwing sand in the
radiator and finally kicked it in the
stomach. All to no avail. The engine
simply would not start. Finally he
spied a big ten-thousand-dollar car
coming down the road. He held up
his hand for it to stop.
The big machine slowed down and
came to a graceful stop alongside the
stricken flivver.
"Say," called out Mr. Adams' friend
to the chauffeur, "do you know anything
about a flivver?"
"Nothing," he replied "but a couple
of funny stories."

GENERAL ASSEMBLY ADJOURNS.
Gasoline Ta\ Measure and Other Proposed
Revenue Bills Continued.
Columbia, .March f>.?"The Deflation
Legislature" adjourned this
morning at S:B0 o'clock. As soon as
the appropriation bill went to free
I conference the end of the session
| was in sight. It took long and weary
I hours of effort for Chairman ChristI
tensen and Hughes and their conferees
to untangle the differences but
they did so and the act was ratified,
j carrying appropriations aggregating
! $6,334,924.ST.
The increase over the act of 1920
is something less than $300,000 and
: all of this aggregate is less than the
additional amount added to the support
of the common schools of the
J state. Some other items show increases
and others reductions.
The actual levy is twelve mills, the
same as last year, without the two
mills for road tax.
The present twelve mills may be
reduced by the comptroller general
if advisable. No state levy for road
work is included or imposed this
year. The individual counties may
collect this road tax if they so desire
on petition of the delegations.
When the senate continued until
I next session the bill proposing a tax
on gasoline and kerosene the fate of
all the suggested additional revenue
bills was sealed. All four of the bills
intended to raise revenues from newsources
other than the property tax
was continued until next session as
were many other important measures
suggested.
The state-wide stock law act is
perhaps the most generally important
act passed at this session, un|
less it be the provisions for women
voting in the primaries, the increase
of the age of consent and the California
marketing statute giving the
machinery for such cooperative ef
forts.
The adjournment was in the best
of humor and good feeling. Lieutenant
Governor Wilson G. Harvey made
an excellent presiding officer and
showed surprising grasp of the problems
of a presiding officer.
Hundreds of. bills that were not
acted upon go over until the second
session of the present general assembly.

Thought Her Mrs. Ty.
At a theatre in Savannah, Georgia,
some tickets had been left for Mrs.
Irvin S. Cobb, who was visiting relatives.
The young man at the window
was unusually attentive and cordial
when Mrs. Cobb called.
"If there is anything in the world
we can do for you, Mrs. Cobb, let us
know," he said. "We are all great
admirers of your husband."
"That is awful nice of you," she
replied, thanking him.
"I see he hit well over .300, even if
he didn't cop the big honor," the
| young-man remarked. "Do you kno^v,
Mrs. Cobb, if he gets off well in the
spring he'll lead the league again
sure. That boy certainly swings a
mean bat!" "

The Home Demonstration Agent.
The home demonstration "work is
rapidly becoming an integral part of
every rural organization and is generally
the only organ through which '
instruction is given aiong too various j
lines which lessens cares and lightens
the burdens and makes for more
efficient work, in the homes and communities.
The county home demonstration
agent is the only paid
worker in the field who spends her
entire time in the interest of the rural
women of our country.
There is a slight misunderstanding
in the minds of some of the people in ,
the counties as to the duties and
j
qualifications of a home demonstra- j
tion agent. It is not the intention of
anyone concerned to claim that she is .
the best cook, the best gardener, the
best poultryman, etc., in her county. '
She lays no claim to these distinc- j
tions. However, she is a scientifically trained
woman, who applies her
knowledge of science to the problems
of every day life, which confront
every ambitious woman; for instance, i
if the bread does not rise, with her I
knowledge of the subject, she can
easily find the trouble.
The home demonstration agent is <
not a specialist, but is a woman of
general training in horn? economics, j
However, she has at her command a| ,
corps of trained specialists in every [
line from whom she may obtain any '
information she does have on hand, whenever
needed.
Do you have any problems in your ^
home? Is your kitchen arranged to <
save time and energy? Does your
house-work consume all of your time?
Do you plan your house^work systematically?
Have you any time for
reading and recreation? Have you a j
household budget?
Does your butter command the
best prices?
Can you cull your flock of chickens
and thus increase your prifits? ?
Do you know how to make at
tractive draperies for your rooms at
small expense?
Do you know how to make your
grounds attractive? What shrubs
and flowers to plant and when?
Is your child underweight? Do you
get vitamines? Do you know what
they are?
Do you know when "silk is not
silk?" When "wool is cotton?''
Do you know why canned corn,
beans and peas spoil?
Have you an all the year round
garden?
Your home demonstration can help
you with these and many other problems.
Get in touch with her.

Oh, the memory of that morning,
As we stood with aching heart;
And, oh, how bitter it was?
From his loved he had to part.
Oh, how hard we tried to save him,
