A young woman riding on the running
board of an automobile in
Greenville the other days stepped off
as the car was moving and lost her
life. This'is such a common practice
that it is Dassinglv peculiar that
there are not more accidents. It is a
common and dangerous thfng for
one to step right off a moving car,
and the surprising part of it is that
there appears to be few serious accidents
from the practice.
Charleston is showing growth according
to the new city directory.
Charleston and all her suburbs, according
to the directory, shows a population
of 101,974, a gain of 1,6SS
over the 1920 directory. The good
old American name of Smith, according
to this test, suffers heavily in
the count. It appears only 396 times,
compared with 635 Browns. There
are 350 Johnsons, 341 Williamses,
261 Greens, and Jones appears only
215 times.
That the south is threatened with
pestilence and famine is a child ol
> -3 ? ? A HP V? /\ Ar> 1
someuouy s miasma, uuu. j.uc uiu.govermental
assistance that the south
asks is that provisions be made for
proper marketing, at a profit, of her
products. The south is the agricultu.ral
garden spot of the world, and
. * that starvation is near is ridiculous.
What the south is suffering from
*
now is a money stringency, and we
do not imagine we are in much
worse condition than the rest of the I
country. It is impossible for the
south to starve, and if there is any j
imminence of a pellagra plague it is
unknown to these parts. The government
can help the south by ex-1
tending credits to tide over the present
crisis. The government did not
hesitate to give millions to tide over
the railroads. As much as the railroads
are vital to American indus-|
try, they can more easily be dispensed
with than the farming industry.
A friend of The Herald suggests
that steps be taken to have a paper
pulp mill locate in Bamberg. The
* suggestion is a good one, ana aouoiless
if the matter were properly presented
to interested parties the thing
could be done. There are thousands
of pulp wood trees in Bamberg county.
Much of this wood has been
shipped recently to pulp mills in
North Carolina, but we are informed
that not even a good dent has been
made in the available pulp wood in
this section. If it is profitable to j
ship this wood to North Carolina for
manufacture into pulp, it appears
that it would surely be profitable for
a mill located here on the ground.
From what we are told, there Is
enough" pulp wood in this county to
run a large mill for years. If a mill
were located at this point, it would
afford the owners of this pulp wood
a market for a product that is
now of no use. In addition, it would
bring the county hundreds of thousands
of dollars by adding hundreds
of acres to the tillable soil of this
section.
The announcement that Camp
Jackson will be abandoned will not
he bad news for many Columbians,
judging from opinions expressed by
some of them. A man was heard to
say on the train recently that while
he was a poor man, he would gladly
contribute fifty dollars, if that were
any inducement, to have the camp
abandoned. While the financial part
of the camp is attractive to many Columbia
concerns, the moral influence
of the camp is very bad, it is said.
So long as the camp was filled with
drafted men, the camp was a good
tilings out tne cnaracter ui resuiai
army men, taken as a whole, is far
different from that of drafted men.
Recently an average of more than
one criminal was discharged, dishonorably,
each day from Camp Jackson,
it is said, without bonus or advance
pay, and even without a railroad
ticket home. The consequence
was that many of these men, who
were discharged for criminal reasons,
chose to rob somebody to get
away from town. This condition became
so acute that the Columbia c .y
council agreed to buy them tickets
home to get rid of this element.
The Herald is. we believe, one of
the few weeklies in the state paying
its correspondents. The Herald has
- - 1.1: _ l .3 -U,rv,.
esia Illisueu ucw? uuicaus HI r>mhardt,
Olar, Denmark and Blackville.
on a paid basis. The Herald regrets
that it cannot extend its paid service
to cover the entire county. Perhaps
this can be done at some later
* time. We trust that our news service
is being appreciated by our readers.
Our readers can materially assist
our bureau managers by cooper
ating with them. The .Herald wants
every item of news, and if you, kind
! reader, have a visitor at your home,
j call up the correspondent and tell
him or her about it. See that all the
; news of your town and community is
I sent in. and. in turn. The Herald will
j guarantee that it is published. Xothj
in? will assist your town as much as
j publicity. Let The Herald know the
news. We don't mind saying that
this news service is costing The Herald
quite a bit: we don't know whether
we can keep it up or not, but our
friends can help us by supporting the
paper that gives the news. If The
Herald is pleasing you, pass the good
word along, and remember if you
want your advertising to pay you
best, put. it in the paper that the
people read. It is the ambition of
this paper to be the best local paper
in the state, and the more support we
receive the better paper we can and
will issue.
Some folks still say that advertising
does not pay. These folks are
few in number, yet tney uo exist, n
such an one is reading this, pause,
friend, and listen to this: The inside
cover page of the August Pictorial
Review was sold to the Palmolive
Soap company for $11,000 to advertise
a ten-cent cake of soap. The
outside cover page of the same magazine
was sold to Colgate and company
for $16,000 to advertise a can
of talcum powder. Three and a half
million dollars was expended last year
by the makers of Wrigley's chewing
gum, of which The Herald received
quite a liberal share. If advertising
did not pay, these concerns
would have gone bankrupt vears
ago. They are still in businness,
and they are increasing
their advertising appropriations
every year. The Standard Oil company
spends several millions yearly
in advertising, by far the greater
portion of wnich goes to newspapers,,
country weeklies of high standard
all over the country being used,
among which The Herald has been
numbered for several years. Nobody
suspects the Standard Oil company
of going broke. About a million
dollars a year is spent to advertise
Prince Albert smoking tobacco, and
about as much for Camel cigarettes.
These are going products. Lots of
folks, who ordinarily believe in advertising,
say now they are not able
to advertise. That is the very reasson
they should advertise.
Two Cases of Child Murder.
Last Saturday Simmons Byrd came
to St. George on the afternoon train,
his mission being of a peculiar nature.
He had with him a small paper
box in which was the foot and
leg of an infant, which he turned
over to the sheriff for investigation.
Mr. Byrd stated that the limb of the
infant was delivered to him by a colored
woman just a little while before
train time, requesting that he advise
the authorities, claiming that a doghad
brought it to her house. The
limb seemed to be that of a well developed
child and foul play was at
once suspected.

woman on Saturday night and after
investigating, it was decided to hold
Mary McDaniel, a colored woman for
the crime.
This is the second case of a similar
nature which has been handled
by the sheriff recently in almost the
same neighborhood. The woman in
the other case is being held in the
county jail here for trial. It is also
stated that this latter alleged criminal
will be placed in jail in a short
time to answer for the crime.?Dorchester

"Say," the angry citizen* exclaimed
as he stormed-his way to the desk in
the newspaper office. "What'd you
mos-n hv listir.e me in the Deaths
Reported column this morning?"
"Was it a mistake, sir?" the wantad
clerk, on whom he had picked,
asked mildly.
"Of course it was. Don't you see
I'm alive? You've caused me a great
deal of annoyance. What are you going
to do about it?"
"It is a rule of this paper never to
admit having made an error, or to
publish a correction," the clerk told
him firmly. "But," he added consolingly,
"we wish to please our readers,
and we'll fix you up all right. We'll

Sentry Story Xo. 198,766.
As in every other sentry story, the
new recruit was (loin? guard duty for
the first time. " In the wee* sma'
hours, there was a rattlin-r that
might have come from milk cans
(because this happened on Long island).
The milkman drove by.
Halt!" yelled the sentry.
"Who's there?" inquired the milkman.
"Why?why?that's what I got to
say," retorted the guard agitatedly.

REXBOW GIVES VIEWS.
Uives Suggestions as to Making Capitol
Financial Center.
The following was clipped from
The Washington Post of July 26th:
Banks of Washington are missing
an ODPortunitv to increase the city's
importance as a financial center by
their failure to solicit the patronage
of the country banks, in the opinion
of A. M. Denbow, of the Federal Land
bank, at Columbia, S. C., who declares
that many of these country
banks would have Washington banks
act as their correspondents instead of
New York banks if they were informed
of the "vast resources and splendid
condition"' of the banks here.
Mr. Denbow was so much impressed
by the condition of the Washington
financial institutions as revealed
by the reports published in response
to the comptroller's call of June 30
that he addressed a letter to The
Post, in which he expresses amazement
at the fact that only four or
five of the banks here have found it
necessary to discount any of their
paper with the Federal reserve bank
of Richmond, nor had theyborrowed
elsewhere. "Many a large bank in
New York," he says, "that up to this
year owed nothing, itemized their rediscounts
and bills at a startling figure."
Says Bank Should Advertise.
"I am at a loss to understand," h$
continues, "why the banks of the
capital do not advertise their vast
banking resources, and at the same
time call upon America's country
banks to select a Washington institution
as their main correspondent. Up
to the time of the organization of
the Federal reserve system, it seemed
imperative for small banks to
have a Xew York correspondent. Now
a correspondent in Washington would
be just as advantageous.
i ne hankers ot \\ asmngton
should join hands in a movement to
make known far and wide their desire
to make Washington a main financial
center, and ! venture to state
that within a few years the capital
city will not be very far behind New
York."
After August 1st 1 will sell only
for cash. 1 will have no books and
will not charge anything. G. 0.
