That is an important meeting to
be held in Ehrhardt on the 19 th inst.
The matter of disposing of the va*
. rious crops that must be planted to
supplant cotton is a great question.
While our county can grow practically
any crop, food or otherwise, the
N? trouble
is these crops can not be sold
to advantage under the present system.
For instance, take the potato
crop. The farmer can bring a few
wagon loads to town and perhaps sell
them for a profitable price, but it does
not take many loads to supply all the
towns in the county. What must be
done with the balance? A shipment
cannot be made with any expectation
of profit unless it is made in car lots,
and perhaps few planters will have
a carload. And then, again, where
ship the potatoes, even if the planter
has a carload of them? He does not
hnow the market conditions, he has
no way of ascertaining what market
is glutted, and therefore potatoes are
gpjl _ not salable there, and he does not
Know wnax market mseus yuiaivcs,
where a good price can be had. A
marketing association, receiving
daily or weekly market reports from
all over the country, is in position to
know the value of potatoes, and
1 where they can be sold. The same
V thing can be said of peanuts, Irish
potatoes, syrup, and a hundred and
one other products that can be made
in Bamberg county.
We recently noticed an interesting
discussion in an exchange concerning
v hat is mostly read in a newspaper.
The editor frequently wonders just
kind of reading matter the public
likes most. People of different tastes
offer different ideas. Some folks tell
us they like one thing about Tlhe
I Herald, and others say something different.
Speaking for this newspaper,
we can say that it is our endeavor to
print matter of interest to all our
readers. Contrary to the idea some
people hold, type is not just set up
at random to fill the paper. The mat%'
ter is carefully selected, with the idea
of affording to all our readers something
for their special taste. There
is>a large number of readers who look
to their county paper for a condensed
picture of the' week's important
news, and for their benefit The Herald
prints each week the most impor_
tant of the state news, with just a
few of the general items most prominent
in the week's happenings. For
everybody, The Herald endeavors to
print all the county news, but it con'
fesses that this is not a possibility,
fee-: For the farmer, there is usually a
few good articles each week on farm
matters, written by people who ought
' to know what they write, and then
' we always have a good selection of
miscellaneous reading matter for the
entire family, such, matter as is not
found in the average newspaper. Thus
the paper is filled up, and there is always
far more good matter than we
can possibly print. The Herald does
not overlook the humorous side of
p life. We believe, some times, that
bBJ the jokes appearing in The Herald
p|Vv are about the most popular thing
about the paper. Our friends can al|
ways help us by sen-ding in or telling
kjL 118 about happenings in their communities.
Remember that the editor
never knows the news until somebody
tells him. Very few of the happenings
of the county actually come under
the observation of the editor or
other members of the paper's force.

KEARSE BUREAU
Home Demonstration Club.
Kearse, Oct. 11.?The Ladies'
Home Demonstration club met as
scheduled with Mrs. H. A. Kearse on
the 4th inst. Miss Varn's demonstration
of steam cooking was very interesting.
After the cooking of chicken
and rice, we were invited into
the dining room to prove the success
or failure of the process. Here we
found to our surprise and delight that
our hostess had also been proving
her skill in the culinary art, for numerous
other good things were spread
before us. After the feast we voted
Miss Varn's demonstration a success,
and we further decided that Mrs.
Kearse was one of her best pupils.
Our next meeting will be with Mrs.
B. V. Kearse.
Plan Community Fair.
The men of our section also met
the same afternoon in the interest
of the community fair, which will be
held at Ehrhardt on Nov. 4. Miss
Yarn gave a talk in the absence of
Mr. Brandon, our county agent, and
much interest was shown in the movement.
One of our farmers stated that
he didn't think there would be much
cotton to exhibit, but thought they
could find a right good display of boll
weevils. This, no doubt, is true, still
we know we have other products
worth showing. We look upon the
fair as a great community builder,
and feel the need of it now as never
before, even if we don't look for anything
except a "blue ribbon." So
many of our farmers and housewives
too ai*e almost disneartenea at tne
present outlook, and need something
to couse the mto look forward. Besides
our boys and girls are the men
and women of a great tomorrow and
this will show them the possibilities
of our community. Anyway we are
going to try to be at Ehrhardt on
the 4th, and prove that we are "still
achieving, Still pursuing," even if
we have learned to "labor and to
wait." <
A Blighted Romance.
A story has come to us which
proves that we have some wide-awake
farmers in our section yet. One of
our farmers who is also a merchant
and interested to some extent in the
live stock industry, has made so much
corn that his barns are not sufficient |
for the harvest. So he builds larger j
barns, but keeps on the lookout for
some way to dispose of it. Finally, j
while looking over an advertising j
journal, he notices where a lady in a
di?tant town wishes to exchange a
very fine cow for corn, and he is interested
right away in this proposition.
(Be it said here that our farmer
and merchant is also a widower,
and we are sorry we neglected to
mention this in the beginning.) He
writes the lady immediately, and several
letters follow in which she cites
the merits of "Lady Pat," tracing her!
ancestry several generations back.
Our farmer is more interested in the |
pedigreed cattle industry than ever
before, for he must believe that this
cow is a veritable "blue stocking." He
decides to visit this distant town to
see this wonderful animal. In the
meantime a letter comes from the
lady in question in which she casually
mentions her husband, and,
strange to say, Mr. Prospective Buyer
or '^swapper" loses interest in the
proposition right away. So this industry
is a dead one on our neighbor's
farm, for the present. It seems that
men are so prone to change their
minds nowadays. Guess the "holl
weevil" is the cause.
Personal Items.
Mr. and Mrs. Jones Williams and
Mrs. Rosa Platts, of the Fairfax section,
visited at the home of G. E.
Kearse on Sunday.
Miss Ettie Kearse left us last weelf
t,n take her old position as saleslady

Back and Forth.
*
The proprietors of two livery stables
situated alongside each other in
a busy street have been having a lively
advertising duel lately. The other
day one of them stuck up on his office
window a long strip of paper bearing
the words:
' Our horses need no whiD to make
thsm go."
This bit of sarcasm naturally caused
some amusement at the expense
of the rival proprietor, but in less
than an hour he neatly turned the
tables by posting the following on
his own window:
"True. The wind blows them
along!"

An Alligator With a Grip.
Ehrhardt, Oct. 12.?One afternoon
recently an alligator, measuring six
feet and one inch, was captured in a
pond near here and brought to tow*n
alive. He was turned loose on the
street where he was the attraction of
the hour. All went well until one
young man becoming a little venturesome
gave Mrs. 'Gator a kick in the
side, when suddenly the offended one
seized the young man's foot in a viselike
grip. Fortunately for the'young
man he had on a pair of heavy shoes,
which saved his foot from injury.
Officers of Community Fair.
The following officers have been
elected by the Community Fair association:
J. H. A. Carter, president;
J. D. Dannelly, vice president; B. C.
Hiers, secretary-treasurer. The association
consists of five schools, namely:
Oak Grove, Hey ward, Kearse,
St. John, and Ehrhardt. The fair
will be held November 4, the Ehrhardt
school building and campus being
used to display the exhibits. Mr.
Brandon and Miss Varn are the leaders
in this enterprise, and the ear
nest efforts they are putting forth
to make the fair a success merit our
heartiest cooperation.

Still Burning.
He was unfamiliar with the domestic
contrivances of town life.
To his mates on Monday morning
he confided that his Sunday dinner
had been only half cooked because nis
xwife could not get the oven hot
enough. They told him about the advantages
of a gas stove, and he had
one installed immediately.
On Saturday night, over a friendly
glass he became enthusiastic about
the gas stove.
"We lighted her on Wednesday after
the men had gone," he said, "and
the darned thing hasn't gone out
yet!"

He was one of the few remaining

the odd jobs for which he had been
employed, and, tat in hand, appeared
at the back door. "How much is
it, uncle?" he was asked. "Yo' say
how much. Just whatever yo' all say,

An old gentleman was fond of children.
Out walking one day he met a j
very pretty little girl who was hug- :

"That's a very nice bear, little girl; i
what do you call him?" he asked. *
"I call him Gladly," was the reply. *
"Gladly!" he echoed. "How did you I
come to call him that?"
"Oh, I got it from the hymn," the

that says, 'Gladly, my cross-eyed !
