In the ratification of the Colombian
treaty and the payment of twentyfive
millions to the Colombian government,
the senate has paid a tribute
more glowing than perhaps it has
imagined to Woodrow Wilson. This
was exactly what Mr. Wilson wanted
and what he cherished, but the senate,
so blind in its anti-Wilsonism,
refused to ratify the treaty for no
other reason, it now appears, than
that Wilson desired it. Immediately
after President Harding was inducted
into office, the Republican leaders
took over the matter and rushed it
through, despite the fact that it was
a cherished dream of the retiring
president. Mr. Wilson was an idealist,
but he also possessed a farreaching
vision in international af- ,
fairs the equal of which no other
statesman of this day has yet attained.
It must be a rather galling sensation
for the present administration ,
to have to realize, as it is doing almost
every day, that Wilson was right :
in many of the affairs of government. ,
The statement is made by the cot- i
ton experts that there has cer- ,
tainly been a reduction in cotton 1
acreage of about 31 per cent., and
detailed figures are given by states.
We hope this is correct, but we ,
should not advise any farmer to plant (
cotton based on this assertion. Last (
year the country was assured that a ^
vast reduction had been made in j
acreage, and figures were shown to j
prove it, but the fact remained thatjt
the acreage must not have been re- j
duced very much, inasmuch, as iar ,
more cotton was harvested than the j
year before. The assurance of sup- j
posedly expert cotton men that a .
small crop only was possible- last year f
year led the planter to believe th2t c
nothing could prevent a good price j
for cotton. This was responsible, in j
large measure, for many farmers ^
holding their cotton last fall, and ^
taking far less for it later, or still
holding the staple for the promised
high price, which, apparently, there ^
is little hope of getting this year. We r
certainly trust the acreage has been i
reduced, but have the cotton experts j
established that confidence which \
will compel the outside world to ac- j
cept their statement? _t
Children's Week. r
t
The Herald is requested to publish
the following:
Children's week will be observed by ]
all churches April 24 to May 1. t
The United States government is c
stressing child welfare work too; in
fact, the attention of the people of the 1
U. S. will be centered on children's 1
work during this week. i
For your children's sake you ought s
to make this the biggest week in 1
the year -in your community and <
church. The children are our great- t
est asset. 1
The future of our country, and the s
future of the church, depend upon ?
the Children. i
What kind of a country shall we 1
have in the'future? What type of
church shall we have?

Ehrhardt-Waterboro Teams Debates. ]
]
Quite an interesting debate was t
held at the school auditorium last
Friday evening between the members
of the Ehrhardt debating team and 1
the Walterboro team. The subject 1
of the debate was: Resolved ''That 5
the United States should enter the s
League of Nations." Miss Vera Plan- i
er and Miss Margaret Stanley, of 1
Ehrhardt, the affirmative, against <
.Miss Pearl Yarn and John Wal- i
ker, of Walterboro, for the neg- j
ative. The points on each side were 1
well taken and the rebuttals show- ]
ed some quick, clever thinking. The 1
judges decided four to one in favor i
of the negative. Before the debate <

Called Home. ;
A clergyman was spending the afternoon
at a house in the English vil- i
iage where he had preached. After i
tea he was sitting in the garden with :
his hostess. Out rushed her little
hoy holding a rat in his hand.
"Don't be afraid mother," he cried,
"he's dead. We beat him and bashed
him and thumped him until!"?catching
sight of the clergyman, he added
in a lowered voice, "until God called
him home."

| FOUL TIPS 1
By the Observer.
Governor Dorsev, of Georgia, has
surprised many folks. Surprised
them, because, outside of Georgia,
people did not think much of him
and his prospects as governor. But,
to my mind, Governor Dorsev has
shown himself to be a real governor,
the very kind that is needed at this
time.* The governor has put his foot
flatly down on lynching and disorder
of all kinds, and in this he has gained
the respect and admiration of all
peace-loving people. The governor
is now giving special attention to the
evil of lynching, and land Knows attention
to this subje... is needed in
Georgia. It is very likely that. Mr.
Dorsey is killing his political prospects,
but that is not deterring him
in doing his duty. It is a pity that
more Dorseys are not officers now.
Mr. Dorsey takes the position that
there must be better relations between
the races. This reminds me of
an article in the The State recently
by Dr. C. C. Johnson, of Aiken. Johnson
is a colored physician and an honorable
and upright Christian citizen,
and Aiken county is fortunate in having
such a wise counsellor among its
colored population. Dr. Johnson offers
the argument that there is no
reason why the races should be at
enmity toward each other, and he is
of the opinion that when there is a
better understanding between blacks
ind whites there will be no race question.
Bamberg county is not bothered
cvith the so-called race q/uestion. The
county is fortunate in having a colired
citizenship that does not require
:he advice of northerners to tell them
low to. get along with white folks.
[ attribute this condition to the fact
hat we have some of the best negroes
n the world in Bamberg county, who
ire home-owners and home-loving
3eople. There are many colored peo)le
in this section whose word is just
is good as a first mortgage on their
'arms. You know them. The race
luestion is not concerning these peo)le.
They attend to their own busi-!
less; they haven't time to bother
vith outside influences that are al
vays trying to stir up trouble.
We have negroes in the south and
v? have white people in the south.
There is no other place undr the sun
.'or southern negroes but the south,
md the thing to do is to make the
iest possible citizen out of him. After
ill H said and done there is but one
;rue friend of the black man, and
;hat friend is the white southerner. I
The thinking* class of'negroes know
:his. . '
- I
While on this subject, did you
{now that there is a negro woman oh
;he Confederate pension roll in this
munty? There is. She is Aunt Alice
Johnson, widow of George Johnson. I
lever knew George Johnson, but he
vas a Confederate soldier, and his
vidow receives a pension from the
state of South Carolina. I hope* some
:ime The Herald will get a write-up
if George. It is not necessary to say
:hat old Aunt Alice is the very salt of
:he earth. She has ministered to
so many Bamberg white families that
she has a warm reception at almost
my fireside in town any time she
cvants it. Long may she live.
Well, The Herald certainly got its
vish about wanting <a lot of candilates
for city council. The air is
charged with municipal politics, and
:hey do tell me the ladies are going
:o vote in full force. Did you ever?
Look out, rotten politics. You are a
past number. When the women get
:o voting things are going to happen.
And, let me say that that is a fine
lunch of gentlemen who are running
?or mayor and aldermen. Old citizens
say that it has been many years
since there has been so much interest
n*to\yn politics. You know a town
vithout politics is on the shady side
if progress. I am glad to see interest
in the city affairs. I believe that it is
+ ~ ^ V o -r\ a n* milactono A n r?
f^UHIK, L (J III a I n. a x lcn
[ do hope there will not develop any
hard feelings. That would spoil the
cvhole thing. Be good sports, gentlemen.
Only one mayor can be electad,
and we are sorry of it because
there are several who would make
aapital executives.
' s
It does rather seem, though, that
slightly too much interest is being
centered in the mayor's contest. Don't
forget to select six good and true
aldermen. The best mayor on earth
can't accomplish anything for the
town if he has not the right board of
aldermen. There are sufficient gentlemen
on the aldermanic ticket for you
to make a good selection. If The
Herald will not consider it advertising
matter, I would offer this suggestion:
Don't vote any set ticket.
My idea of an ideal council is for it to
contain some men of mature business
judgment and ability and some men
with the stamp of progress indellibly
*
showing on their countenances. By j
blending these two qualities, things
will.take place in the council meet-!
ings. I don't mean, of course, that j
any but.business men should be elected.
They should not. But all good j
business men are not progressive. I
don't think any of this kind are running,
but then it is up to you to judge
of that.
The old town is going forward,
citizens, just as sure as you live it is.
I have noted numerous' things afcfeut
town that have been added in the last
few years. We must not discourage
them in the least, but let's all pull
together and bring Bamberg to * its
rightful place on the map.
Talking about putting Bamberg on
the map. The Carlisle school is doing'
more than its share in this direction.
Did you hear that noise and racket
Monday morning at the station when
the base ball team left? Folks on thej
train craned their necks to see what I
in the world Had broke loose in Bam-i
berg. They undoubtedly thought
that the train had stopped at a real
joint. And it had.
