As President Harding was taking
the oath of office a church in Marion.
Ohio, was holding a special prayer
service for the Divine guidance of the
president in the stupendous duties of
his office as president of the greatest
country n the world. The news dispatches
state this was in accordance
with the president's wishes, as he
is a devout believer in the power of
prayer. According to his own statements,
Mr. Harding often seeks "wisdom
in the seclusion of secret prayer.
' His predecessor, Mr. Wilson, was
^likewise a praying man Both the
new president and the retiring president
are prominent as churchmen as
well as in statesmanship. Mr. Wilson
. is a Presbyterian, and Mr. Harding
is a Baptist, the first Baptist, by the
way, who has ever occupied the
whit? house.
Richard Carroll, of Columbia, and
C. T. Walker, of Augusta, are two
truly great negroes. Their greatness
is not a thin veneer of popularity
among either colored people or white
people, though they possess both, but
in the principles they stand for. Both
of these men believe that the race
question must be solved by the negroes
and the white people of the
souin, wnnuui oiuisiue inlenereuce.
They do not believe that political
parties, resolutions and denunciatory
speeches, such as characterize the
remarks of W. D. Chappelle, of Columbia,
will \ ever produce the proper
friendly relationship between the
races. The advice of men of this
character is for everybody, white and
black, to attend to their own business
and treat their fellow man,
white or black, right. If this is done,
all will be well.
Ex-President Wilson doubtless has
secured much satisfaction from the
success of at least one of his great
policies?that regarding Mexico.
Years ago Mr. Wilson laid down the
policy of watchful waiting in regard
to the Mexican problem. Though
frequently offended in a manner i
that would have gored Roosevelt to
sending a war message to congress,
Mr. Wilson exercised patience with
Mexico. Before Mr. Wilson laid down
th? burdens of office, he had the
pleasure of seeing, so far as the
American people knows, a restoration
of peace in Mexico without armed
intervention from the United States.
Obregon has been inaugurated president
of the* republic on the couth,
and there is every indication that
t
he is the man of the hour for that
war-ridden country. Friendly relations
exist between Moxico and
America, and without the war that
seemed could not be prevented a few
years ago. t
The Dotato curina house is an in
dustry that is worthy of the patronage
of the farmers. It is not very
likely that the owners of this concern
will realize much interest on their in- I
vestment, and we have no idea that (
they expected much interest when
they built,the house. The greatest 1
benefit from the concern will come 1
to the farmers who plant potatoes. '
The sweet potato is one of the coun
tv's ideal crops. Anybody can grow ;
potatoes. The weevils do not eat them, <
and no matter what kind of weather }
we have there are always plenty of 1
potatoes. The fact that sweet pota- 1
toes can be prepared for market
through the curing process makes it
one of the most valuable crops that 1
can be grown. The usual banking i
system of keeping potatoes makes it i
necessary to sell early in the season, 1
whether prices are profitable or not. 1
By curing the potatoes they may be i
kept until early summer when prices '<
are always high. i

Visitors to Carlisle school this sum- <

er gardens in the country. The lot
south of the headmaster's residence
has been converted from a vacant 1
lot into a veritable bower of flowers. ]

has been planted an almost endless 1
variety of flowers. In the midst of <
the garden a neat summer house has 1
been erected, around which trailing 1
vines have been set out. The plants 1
are now just coming up, and in ap
few weeks this bids fair to be the 1
most attractive flower garden in Bam- i
berg. The garden has been styled t
by the cadets the "love nest." <

By the Observer.

Wall, I guess the readers of The
Herald will be surprised to see this
column again. Five years ago the
editors kindly donated me a column
in The Herald, for the airing of some
personal views. Times change. It
seems like only a few months ago
since I was writing for this column,
yet how many changes have occurred
in this brief period. One change that
has occurred, so The Herald tells me,
ih that the paper does not publish
communications wherein personal
views are expressed unless the writer
signs his name. On the solemn promise,
however, that I will not negotiate
any "e'ntangling alliances" and further
that I will be personally responsible
for any statement I make, The
Herald publishers have consented for
me to have some space.
Say, was that not mighty sorry advertising
you fellows gave Bamberg
the other day? You said that some
fellows, bent on a little fun, had gone
on the warpath and made things unhealthy
for people out on Main street.
Now, what's the use of publishing
this? According to what you said,
what was wrong about it? According
to your statement it occurred about
midnight. A few shots fired innocently
at the sky can't hit anybody unless
he was in an airplane, and airplanes
should not fly at night. The streets
are fairly deserted at night, and very
few people could have been killed. ,
Of course, it was sort of bad about
people keeping their stores open late,
but what's the matter with people
closing up their stores and going
home when folks go on the warpath?
That's the sensible thing to
do.
Saw some ladies walking down the
street the other day during a rain.
Funny now people win insist on wanting
around when it rains. They
might know they will get their feet
wet when they pass water spouts on
the sidewalks. Might take newmonia
or something and then sue
the town for damages, and land
knows taxes are high enough as it
stands. Some of the owners of buildings
on Main street have fixed these
pipes, but you must remember times
are hard, and doubtless some of these
property owners have not the nec- !
essary Change. The right thing for
people to do is to stay at home when
it rains. Surely there are enough '
sunshiny days for women to shop
without picking out the wet days and
endangering the town's treasury in
any such manner,

Speaking about how things change.
Since I fast filled this column things
have changed in Bamberg. Every
morning now I hear half a dozen
i
whistles blowing. That is music to
my ears. It shows that the town is
growing. And then every night I
see the cotton mill running full blast.
I'll tell the world that it looks good 7
to me. I don't believe a word of this
hard times stuff. In 1914 and 1915
here were hard times. I did not hear
many whistles and did not see the
mill running at night then.
<
That reminds me. When there are t
many more industries here, the people
might object to the whistles. They a
do in some towns, you know. Say it j
wakes them un about seven o'clock -
every morning. Take this sugges- c
tion?: The first man that objects to i
whistles blowing every morning, or s
sixteen times a day, for that matter,
just give him a swat on the top story
Df his bungalow, and then thank the c
Lord that there is something in Bam- f
berg that can make a noise besides i
;he grumblers. t
S
I had a very annoying experience t
i;he other day. Fellow came up and I
inquired if I knew where he could t
rent a house in Bamberg. That is t
what I call nerve. Wanted something t
for about fifteen or twenty dollars a
month. I told him he ought to be
ashamed of himself. The very idea ^
3f renting a house for fifteen or t
:wenty dollars a month. We have 1
10 houses in Bamberg for folks who I
;an't pay more than that. What good r
?ould such folks be to our town any- t
way? e
I
A fellow has to laugh sometimes c
when he thinks what funny ideas E
beople have. Last fall, before the 1
election, lots of farmers would not c
sell their cotton because they said t
after the election cotton was going b
up. It did in their imagination. Cot- a
ton was about 2o cents before the *t
election. It is 11 cents now. After t
:he election, they said just wait un- t
:il Mr. Harding ascended the white c
louse rostrum and all would be well, d
\11 is well (with the boll weevil.) s
However, I always try to be an opti- i'
nistic cuss. I never have lost any- i
:hing by it, and perhaps I have gain- f
?d something. I don't believe any t
Republican in the white house Is c
rver going to be as good a president ii
is a good Democrat, but I likewise n
ACCEPTS SECRETARYSHIP.
J. Wilson Gibbes Now With Representative
Fulmer.
Columbia, March 12.?J. Wilson
Gibbes, of Columbia, clerk of the
house of representatives, announced
tonight that he had accepted the
secretaryship of Hapipton P. Fulmer,
Congressman from the Seventh district.
Mr. Gibbes will leave for
Washington about April 1. He.will
continue in his official position as
clerk of the South Carolina House.
Mayor Hartzog Reelected.
The announcement of the reelection
for the fourth term of Mayor A.
Sidney Hartzog, of Greenwood, will
afford much pleasure to the many
friends of this former Bamberg citi
zen. In this connection, the following
Greenwood dispatch will be read
with interest:
"In the municipal primary election
held here yesterday Mayor A. Sidney
Hartzog was reelected over his opponent,
Paul B. Ellis, by a vote of
1,2^26 to 661. This makes Mayor
Hartzog's fourth term as mayor of
Greenwood and the vote yesterday is
taken as an indorsement of the work
of the mayor and his administration.
During his service the town put down
much street paving, extending sewer
and water lines and now :has in the
bank the amount of $200,000 from
the sale of a recent bond issue to do
considerable more street paving and
extend further the sewerage system.
Mayor Hartzog was given q,uite an
ovation at his home last night by
admiring friends. Aldermen J. B.
Harris and John Durst, Jr., were reelected
by good majorities, Harris
receiving the unusual record vote of
430 out of a possible 432 at his home
box in Ward 5. Alderman E. W.
Stalnaker had no opposition in his
ward while Alderman W. H. Yeldell,
Jr., declined to offer for reelection
in ward 1. Rufus A. May was elected
in that ward over two opponents.
In ward 6 there was a sharp contest,
six candidates offering. There will
be a run over there between Alderman
J. W. Spearman and S. F. Perry.
Meeting of Graham's Chapter.
Mrs. W. H. Faust was hostess to
the Graham's chapter U. D. C. at
their regular meeting March 10th.
Delegates to the district convention
in Edgefield were elected as follows:
Mrs. G. W. Hightower, Mrs.
F. V. James; alternates, Miss Carrie
Riley, Mrs. Faust.
The president read an interesting
letter received from one of our members
in Iotfa City, Iowa.
Plans were discussed for raising
money for our educational fund. A
committee was appointed to arrange
in entertainment and report at our
next meeting. Members are reminded
that this is the month for payment
of annual dues. As our membership
has increased considerably
a
)ur state and general taxes are 'pro
portionately greater, and we must
?o to the convention with all dues
md pledges paid.
The historical programme consist- (
3d of a study of Charleston and its <
lefenses. Interesting papers were <
ead by Mts. James and Mrs/J. S. (
<
Matthews. J
During a pleasant social hour, refreshments
were served by the hostess
assisted by Mrs. D. N. Cox.
The next meeting will be on April .

ion't believe that* Mr. Harding is
roinff tn be as bad a president as
lome folks make out.
He has started out alLright. Ameri:an
folks like to have a voice in afairs
in Washington, and Mr. Hardng
looks like he is trying to do just
hat thing. Another guess I'll make: i
?ome of the Republicans are going to
>e very much disappointed with Mr. g
larding. They are going to find
hat he is not going to run the coun- ry
like the plunderbund some of
hem would like to have it. 1

C
I was told a column of my junk rould
be enough. But I want to
ention on? other thing. If the pubishers
will pardon me for doing it,
would like to recommend that every J
eader of The Herald ought to read I
he article in March Cosmopolitan *
intftled "Do We Lik? to Be Fooled?"
n this article Fred C. Kelly, a magi- c
tan, tells how the gentle and gullible
ublic is done up brown by the spir- j
tualists and other such fakers. I j
q r> r> nt cm intn fho ortirlp hpffllise
ay space won't allow it. But buy,
ieg or borrow a March Cosmopolitan 1
,nd read it. The world is filled with
he spiritism stuff. Most everybody *
tas a touch of it. Do you believe C
hat ghosts walk, tables tap, spirits j
ommunicate, etc? Very likely you
[o to some extent. This article will
how you where there is nothing to
t. Some folks say it is the work of r
be devil. Maybe so. But, after read*
ng this article, I don't believe it is
he work of anybody or anything ex- $
ept plain old fashioned crooks. Read I
t and see if you do not agree with '
ae.
HEALTH IMPROVES.
Grayson Hopeful of Condition of
Wilson.
Washington, March 12.?Former
President Wilson, now a private citizen,
is not a hermit in his S. street
home. On the contrary, he is riding
daily, and has already called at
the homes of several senators.
TVirtoo nlncoct- + r\ Air* AAT? 1 cr\r* r1o/'>lc>T,0

that after March 4, he felt as if a
load had been roiled off his shoulders,
and seemed immediately to show
signs of physical improvement. Dr.
Grayson, holds, it is understood, that
the change will be of incalculable
benefit to his patient.
There is still general discussion in
Washington regarding the magnificent
manner in which Mr. Wilson
conducted himself March 4. There is
no question but that his gameness
redounded greatly to his credit. He
was broken in body, but unbending
in spirit.
One significant and characteristic
remark of Mr. Wilson an that epochal
day is not generally known. Senator
Knox, always a gentleman, informed
the stricken president that a chair in
the senate had been provided for his
use in the event he cared to view the
exercises.
"No, thank you, senator," returned
Mr. Wilson. I am not very strong
on my legs."
And then with a merry smile, he
continued: "The senate fell down
on me, you recall, and I would prefer
nnt tn fall Hnu'n nn thp senate "
Senator Lodge was almost rude in
his delivery of a message to the
president, and this accounted for
the splendid manner in which the
chief executive howled him over.
When Lodge entered the president's
room, Mr. Wilson was engaged in
conversation. Without asking pardon,
or otherwise attracting his attention,
Lodge said simply that the
senate wranted to know if Mr. Wilson
had anything further to communicate.
"I thank you for your courtesy,"
Wilson, said pointedly, freezingly,
and with palpable significance stated.
"Please tell the senate that
icance. "Please tell the senate that
I have nothing else to communicate."
And then after a second's pause,
during which his eyes held those of
Lodge enthralled, Mr. Wilson curtly
remarked: "Good morning, sir."
The former president, it is understood
has not undertaken literary
work as yet. It is not believed that
he will ever practice law although
he may be a consulting attorney, associated
with Bainbridge Colby, on
matters involving fine questions of
international law.
