Car in Gear Bounds Forward Breaking Boy's Neck. Lancaster, July 11.?Hazel Ghent, eleven years old, was killed here today while cranking a Ford truck, which was in gear. The truck bounded forward and knocked the lad against the rear of a heavy truck, his neck being broken by the impact. Death resulted in about fifteen minutes. Right O! The roughneck politician burst into the lawyer's office and in an excited I manner asked: "What would you do if a paper should call you a thief and a liar?" "Well," said the lawyer, "if I were you I'd toss up a nickel to see whether I'd reform or pay no attention to the statement." OLAR BUREAU R. Fair Goodwin, .Manager. Let's Give 'em a Push, Fellers! Olar, July 12.?We wish to go on record as heartily being in favor of the educational association which is about to be born in Spartanburg, and which we trust shall never die until its work shall have been done throughout South Carolina in awakening our state to the fact that our system is sadly deficient, even shameful. Also may we realize that abuse of those on the outside or inside our borders, who have the nerve to call our attention to these conditions, will not suffice. Nothing will suffice except the remedying of the conditions. Embarrassments and abuses will be unnecessary, and will therefore vanish, when i we take our medicine, and get well. Things are Quiet in Patrieksville. We were proud, very proud when we read Saturday afternoon, 'De Velera orders, 'Cease fighting,' " assuming as we did that meant final peace for Ireland. But orders in Ireland do not seem to be orders, for this morning we see that in a little friendly scuffle in Belfast there were fifteen killed and over one hundred wounded. But leave it to George yet. He. has the world beat on settling things?usually the way that seems to be most popular, and what a foresight he has. Crop Conditions, As They Seem. If we were to judge the crop situ-j ation this year by the luxuriant: growth at present, we predict that it wlil be the winter resorts of some-i where father south instead of?as j we fear?the Columbia "Bug house" | that will overflow next winter. Wei are very interested in the boll weevi^ i ?adversely though?and as a result! we ask rather promiscuously about j him, but he seems not to have done j any serious damage so far and let | us hope. Several cars of watermelons were shipped from Olar last week. We, are glad to see this, both because we are now and then remembered very kindly by the shippers of the melons, and also because it adds a little pep to business in Olar. Colored Soldier Buried. Last week the body of Peter Carter, colored, was brought home from i France and buried at the Bethlehem j Baptist church about two miles from Olar. Peter was inducted into ser-i vice in 1918, saw service with a la-1 hor battalion in France, and was a victim of pneumonia "Over There," having died August 5th, 1918. He did his bit. Death of Colored Man. The body of Angus Dublin, an aged colored man, will be returned from Columbia to Olar today, Monday, for burial. He underwent a serious operation last week but his age and'gen. eral physical condition did not permit him to recover. Angus was a Mason, and was highly respected by both his own, and the "white folks that knew him. Xot an Apology, But an Explanation. We were so busy last week that we were unable to get our letter in at the proper time to be set up for last week's issue of The Herald. We fully realize how badly all our gentle readers were disappointed at not finding "The Olar Bureau" and we shall endeavor so to arrange mat it shall not happen again, hut we offer no guarantee to this effect. "Tis a pity 'tis true, 'tis true 'tis a pity." Personal Mention. Mrs. Carrie C. Starr and daughter, Miss Caroline, along with Patrick and Hugh, sons of Mrs. Starr, have been keeping'house for Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Starr for the past week, and also visiting old friends in and around Olar. Mrs. Starr and her family mov ed to Columbia several years ago, and we are glad to have her make an extended visit to our town again. While she is here Mr. and Mrs. Starr are visiting Mr. and Mrs. L.

Mrs. Victoria Williams, of Fairfax, has been in town several days visiting relatives and friends. Religiously Speaking, Our belated news letter last week compels us to mention, though it be late, the sermon delivered at the Methodist church July 3rd by Rev. ' ITT T C v* t rl at* Af Do Knr O* fl'll rv 1C yy o. onj uci , kjl ? uu 10 connected with Carlisle. The subject might be called 'The Supreme Tragedy?the Incomplete Man." Mr. Snyder delivered a very learned talk on the three fold nature of man, picturing him as perfect in body and in mind but deficient in soul?thus the supreme tragedy. It was a treat to have heard it. Rev. W. L. Griggs, of Xorth; ari rived in Olar this morning to take charge of the series of services which began at the Baptist church yesterday, and which is scheduled to con| tinue throughout the week. We trust that the weather man I will look more kindly upon us during | this week than he did during the week of services at the Olar Methodist church a few weeks ago. Olar, July 5 Delayed)?The weekend and the fourth in combination brought large number of visitors to Olar and community. Some of these were at one time or another Olarites, and still others were stranaers. and were right welcome in our town. Mrs. Carrie C. Starr, he rdaughter, Miss Caroline, and two sons, Patrick and Hugh, all of Columbia, are at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Starr for a few days. With them is Miss Starr's friend, Miss Lillian Byrum, of Columbia. H. F. Starr, with two friends from Columbia, ran down for the holiday but went back after a few hours stay with old friends and relatives. Mrs. R. M. Kearse had with her her two daughters, Mrs. Roberta K. Walker, of Ehrhardt and Mrs. G. J. Wescoat, of Walterboro, also Mr. Wescoat, and two of her grand daughters, .Miss Norma Brabham, of- Walterboro, and Miss Erma Coleman,, of Varnville. Mrs. Dora D. Walker, of Dunbarton, who is connected with the state home demonstration department, is spending a few days with Mrs. H. H. Kearse. Olar was well represented at the home demonstration club school trr ViinV* uroo o f Po rliola loaf ?T UiV/U H ao iiCiU etc V/aillUlV TV \yViV* Misses Carrie Brabham, Mildred Cook, Fredna Creech, Evelyn Hartzog, Louise Kearse, Attilee Milhous, Esther Sanders and Ruth Sanders were in attendance. They report a very enjoyable and instructive time. H. Karesh and family stopped over H J over in Olar for a short while With Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Pearlstine as they passed through Olar on their way to Williston last Friday. Miss Alma Lain and Miss Lucile Jackson, of Orangeburg, were visiting Mr. and Mrs. O. J. C. Lain, Miss Lain's parents, Sunday and Monday, and were in attendance at the picnic at Mizpah church on the fourth. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Kirkland were visiting their old home and friends and were at their old home church, Mizpah, at the picnic also. With them were their two daughters, Misses Elizabeth and Inez Kirkland, and also their son, William. Mr. and Mrs. H. F. ^tarr and three children have gone to Thompson, Ga., for several days visit to the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Brab ham, the parents of Mrs. Starr. I brieve it was Napoleon who said that he considered that the woman is I greatest who rears the greatest number of children successfully. Just give Olar the time, the fates give her the success, and she will be great some day. She is holding her own in the line of producing the number. I was joyed last issue to announce the arrival of a boy?this time it is not a boy, it is two boys. The happy homes are those of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kirkland and of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Chittv. Miss Kitty Hooton. who lived and taught school in Olar for several years, but who had to give up her work a few years a?o, and as a re suit has been living in Denmark for the past three years, was in Olar last week for two or three days. She tells us that she intends returning to the school room next session. We are glad to hear this for we are in position to know that Miss Hooton is a credit to the profession, an able missionary. J. D. and Wyatt B. Cook, of Macon, Ga., and Georgetown, respectively, were visiting their parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Cook, and the Mizpah picnic on the fourth. The regular annual Sojourner-Xeeley picnic, which is held near Denmark every year was attended by the following Olar folks: Mrs. Sallie Brabham, Misses Sara and Mary Xeeley, S. E. and G. M. Xeeley, Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Xeeley and baby, Mr. and Mrs. U. G. Milhous, Urban Milhous, J. G. Milhous, and Miss Maggie Milhous. Sunday School Picnic. The Olar Sunday school is getting in the habit of having an annual fourth of July picnic, with which the writer can find no objection so long as the poultry business continues to flourish in these parts and the good ladies interested have such excellent culinary tastes. This year old Mizpah church with her large grove of shade trees hanging with long sash-like streamers of moss, looked just as stately and historic as usual, those in attendance seemed just as carefree and happy as though they had never seen a boll weevil, and the chicken was just as brown. In fact it was the usual occasion of regular enjoyable picnicking. Then, too, there was the regular bathingswimming sport in the afternoon about a mile from the picnic grounds, at Buford's Bridge. Besides the picnickers there were several from Olar, Fairfax and Allendale in tne swlru,. fully two hundred attending during the afternoon, we think. At one time there were over fifty bathing suits of various sizes, styles and color?all nice fitting and well filled?in view, either in swimming or being sunned on the old bridge. We, being not so well skilled in swimming in a crowded stream, spent our time in observation?no criticism to make. The crops are in a flourishing con dition in so far as apparent healthiness is concerned. The truth is, however, we fear that the growth is too sudden and abnormal for the future benefit for the crops. And further we see little hope of making any cotton at all if the rainy seasons continue for many weeks longer. The weather man evidently has our occupation confused with something. Please say to him that we are not in the fisheries business, and even if we would be we have a resident game warden. DENMARK BUREAU J. E. Steadman, Manager. Denmark, July 13.?A meeting of tjie farmers of this community was held in the school auditorium Tuesday morning to discuss cooperative marketing of farm products. Dr. W. W. Long and F. L. Harkev, of Clemson college, were present and madd very interesting and instructive talks along this line. The farmers are taking quite an interest in trying to improve methods of marketing their crops, and it is hoped that cooperative marketing will solve this problem. W. L. Riley, chairman, St. C. P. Guess and H. C. Crum were appointed a committee to confer with committees from other points. These committees will probably meet in Blackville at some convenient date. Work has been commenced on the 100,000 gallon reservoir here. The contract has been awarded to the Edisto Public Service company, of this place. Work on the Pond brothers peanut shelling plant is progressing rapidly. Mr. Hope, the contractor who has this work in charge, expects to complete the main building within the next three weeks. It is hoped to have the entire plant ready by the time the new crop comes in. E. C. Tyler, of Yonges island, spent several days with relatives here last week. R. H. Driggs, former agent for the American 'Railway Express company here, spent the day here with his mother, Mrs. H. G. Driggs. Mr. Driggs is recuperating from injuries received in a railroad accident about a month ago. We are glad to know that he was not seriously injured. Earle Hightower and family, of Nashville, Tenn., are spending some time with G. W. Hightower. of this place. Robert Lee Zeigler, Phillip Cox. ; T. E. Steadman and B. M.
