Pamtwrg ^eraft ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. Published Weekly at Bamberg, S. C. Entered as second-class matter April 1891, under Act of .March 3, 1S79. $2.00 PER YEAH. Volume 30. Xo. 30. Thursday, July 28, 1921. A committee of southern daily newspaper publishers went to Wash-! ington this week to see about getting j the excess profits tax on newspapers lifted or reduced. Well, thank goodness, the excess profits tax is one tax that is not worrying this newspaper at the present time. There is no excess of profits around this shop. The Tri-County league is -not the only base bail orgamzauon in which there is quite a bit of life. A meet_ ing of South Atlantic league directors in Charleston Monday broke up in a general fist fight, and the other day over in North Carolina, we believe it was, a mob of two hundred waited at the gate for the exit of J" the two umpires. Three young negroes disarmed another negro who had, it is alleged, slandered their mother, and then administered to the offender a sound thrashing recently. This is not what one could properly call a legal aflair, but it is awfully effective. The magistrate had to preserve the dignity of the law, and he administered a dollar fine to each. His idea runs about on an equality with everybody else's. The fact that the people of South Carolina paid tne government last year more than $28,000,000 in various kinds of federal revenues does not indicate that the people are yet on starvation, despite the boll weevil, the incessant rains and the price of tobacco. Five million dollars of this amount was in personal income tax. However, from the present outlook, the govepmdnt had better be figuring' out other sources of revenue than income taxes from this neck of the woods. _ _ August Kohn advocates the "painless extraction" system of state and county taxes, ay tms ne means tne i taxing of such commodities as cold drinks, jewelry, silks, and other luxuries. This system has been tried, he says, by the state of North Carolina for some years with great success. Only some thirty per cent, of the total taxes in North Carolina are levied against property. It is a fact that progress-cannot be made without tax. es, but at the same time we do not see how taxes can well te increased on property in this state. The situation could be relieved to a very large extent by equalizing taxes. At the pres -L A-* 11 i. - 1 ^ T UiUe a sxuaii uiefi;auuic uusiucao is paying as much taxes as a fine farm. It appears to The Herald that a far better plan than plowing up tobacco would be to go ahead, cure it, have it " redried at some of the redrying plants in the state, and hold the weed until the prices reach a reasonable figure. So long as it still costs ten cents to get a cigar, and 15c to get a can of 1. smoking tobacco, it is hard to convince the average man that it is not all bosh about tobacco ?being worth on the warehouse floors five or six cents a pound. A plug of BVown Mule costs as much now as it ever did. We understand that after going through the redrying process, tobacco mn-u- hp hplri with entire safetv. We are not tobacco experts in any sense of the word, but it certainly looks sensible to prepare the weed for holding purposes. Cooperative marketing is being discussed throughout the state, and it is a good subject for discussion. We trust that something tangible will result. One means of marketing that i3 already within the reach of most farmers is the raising of hogs. The planters are finding much difficulty in disposing of their new crops, such as beans, peas, corn, and peanuts. It appears to us that a splendid disposition can be made of these crops by - feeding them to hogs and cattle. We ? believe that there is a pretty good market for hogs, and one farmer in town tells us he* has a fine herd of them this year that he will be able to sell as low as four cents a pound and still make a profit. If this is the cas<5. folks are overlooking a fine means or} disposing of such crops as beans and peanuts. ? imt m No Experiments for Him. . - ? * The firm of Hansen and Fransen was started in war time and did very well for a couple of years. But last year things were on the downward grade, and the other day. when the two partners had finished making up their none too good record for the year. Hansen said: "This would make anyone thoughful. Now that the good times are over, how about a little honest business?" "Xo. thanks," said Fransen. "T never indulge in experiments." f HIGHWAYMEN OF THE SEA. Great Wars Always Followed By Lawlessness. The theory that pirates are again infesting Atlantic waters has been put forward in connection with the grounding of the Caroll Deering and the mysterious disappearance of three other American steamships. "An epidemic of piracy has followed in the wake of nearly all of the great wars. Even as recently at 1S15 restless souls who had smelled the blood of battle and felt the intoxication of danger became loath to settle [ down into the peaceful ways of men and commerce and chose the wide seas as an asylum because they refused to live under the law," says a bulletin of the National Geographic Society from its Washington, D. C., headquarters. Some Famous Pirate Bases. "Beside the broad oceans which offered infinite chance for escape there have always been the island-dotted areas which furnish excellent lurkingplaces from which these exponents of absolute freedom might direct their efforts and to which they might take their quarry for examination and long division among them. The Greek Archipelago, the island hiding places made it possible for him to defy the fleets of England, Italy, Spain and Holland, to levy tribute on all the vessels that passed over the highway, to capture the richly laden Papal gal leys bound for Rome in Mosleum defiance of Christendom and chain the Christians to their oars. In 1510, at that time notorious and immensely wealthy, he changed the base of his operations to the island of Jerba, off the coast of Tunis, where the Fates ceased to smile so kindly upon him. After many hard fought battles and vicissitudes of fortune he fell before the forces of Charles V of Spain near Tremizan on African^soil. He had actually escaped, but upon learning that his faithful followers were close pressed he returned to &ie with them. The career of his brother Kheyr-eddin is sacredly less romantic. "Piracy on the American coast among the French and Spanish navigators began before the days of the English conflicts. Queen Elizabeth is, said to have covertly countenanced as well as helped expeditions by buccaneers and in the West Indies the trade restrictions placed by the various mother countries led to acceptance by many island governors of wares brought Dy navigators wnom they knew to be free-booters and '"hose methods they could not afford to question. - \ Piracy Road to High Office. "Perhaps the most unscrupulous and wily of the perverted sea-kings was Henry Morgan of the Caribbees. He was a magnate, an indomitable ruler, a crafty strategist and a com manlier ui genius as ?cn as a puai& par excellence. In fact he flirted with one danger after another always to come out on top. He marched into Puerto Principe in the heart of Cuba and took it despite every resistance. He outwitted with uncanny cunning the officers of Porto Bello, in Panama, one of the strongest cities near the Caribbean shore's and the storehouse for the riches which had been brought by Spanish galleons and mule packs from the interior. He escaped with an inestimable amount of gold and jewels, ingeniously employ ing a fireship against the Spanish to accomplish his escape when he was bottled up in Maracaibo Lake. Finallly he took and sacked the city of Panama. Then leaving his compan- 1 ions in the lurch, he slipped away at night with all the booty to Jamaica, ingratiated himself with the governor and was clever enough to get himself into the graces of the English king who knighted him and made him lieutenant-governor of Jamaica for his 'long experience of that colony.' "In our boyhood, stories of Captain Kid were frequent. The subject of the narratives was really a respecable sailor in the merchant service with a wife and family in New York when he was commissioned by the English king 1690 with power to seize and destroy off the American coast all pirate ships. Having been given ships and crews to accomplish the purpose, he gaily set sail across the Atlantic around the Cape of Good Hope to Madagascar ^nd the Red Sea to ravage East India waters and con Vert to bis own uses his captures. Then he hied himself, so the story goes, to West Indian Waters, and buried his superflous treasures before he finally went to Boston where he was captured, sent to England for trial, was executed and his body left to dangle in the winds for years as a warning to sailors." ?Miss Eileen Hunter is spending some time in Branchville with relatives. ?Misses Gene Price, Ethel Strom.

War Breaks Out Between Barnwell and Bamberg Tuesday. President Hardiftg's idea that the signing ot' the peace resolution would restore the world to a peaceable basis did not take into account the fact that there would be a base ball game in Ramn-ell Tiiesrlflv. While there were no casualties, the injured list grew fast for a few minutes during the fourth inning of the Bamberg-Barnwell game at Barnwell. During the game one of the Bamberg fans made a joking remark about a Barnwell player, according to Bamberg witnesses of the unfortunate affair. The Barnwell man acted as if a joke was unheard of on a base ball field, and promptly forsook the field for the grandstand, crawling under the wire, which started the music to I playing. He struck the Bamberg fan j with a bat. R. J. Works, who made| the remark purely as a joke with no idea of offending anybody, was in company with several of the local j tobacco men, who immediately gave Mr. Works such assistance as they nnneulorod tVio ncnacinn dpmandpfl Barnwell fans then went to the assistance of their player and a general fight took place. According to Bamberg spectators none of the Bamberg visitors used a weapon of any sort, while the Barnwell men used everything from primitive clubs to bottles, knucks, crates and pistols. Only one pistol was in evidence, and it was in the hands of a Barnwell man. A Bamberg man, describing the fight, which he likened unto Belleau woods, said that this pistol looked for all the world like a cannon. The weapon was not used, how ever. If any of the Bamberg men had guns of any kind on them, they were not drawn nor used. Among the Bamberg people sustaining injuries were R. J. %Works, manager of the Farmers Warehouse; R. E. Winstead, a tobacco buyer; J. M. Kinard, former manager of the local base ball club; A. G. Rogers, farmer. The injuries of none of these are serious, although Mr. Rogers sustained a terrific blow on the back of ' his head with a bottle. In addition to these a number received scratches and bruises. It may be stated that the Bamberg men had no idea of a fight, and that there would have been no fight if the player had attended to his business a? a base ball player instead of listenini to the jibes of the sidelines. Tf mav also be added that Bamberg took care of herself fairly well, and while medical assistance was sought by some of the Barnwell men, none of them seemed to have sustained any serious injury. According to the Bamberg participants in the affair, the fight could; not be avoided after the Barnwell | player attacked Mr. Works, as this ? seemed to be a general declaration of ! war, and indiscriminate* use of thej bottles, bats and other handy ^nd j effective weapons was brought into play by the home home fans. Only two players appeared to have been in the j mix-up, though a generous supply of bats seemed to have been supplied from the field for the use of the Barnwell combatants.
