Thursday, November 3,1921. While everybody hopes the railroad .y matter was settled when the strike order was rescinded, we fear that it is only a delay of final action. The same discontent that caused the strike order is still prevalent, and is ?>"-a tn ViroaL- mit afrniii ennncr or OUi Vi CU Ul VUi\ vuv ww?v. later. All of which goes to convince one that it is easier by far to create a condition than it is to get rid of it.

Peels of any sort are a dangerous menace oh sidewalks, and those who insist on eating fruit on the streets ought to be considerate enough of others to place the peels in \ the garbage cans. Remember, the j next time you eat an apple or a ba- j nana, to put the peels carefully away j from the sidewalks. It may dost j some one an arm or leg, and it may! I - cost somebody some money, npne of which is necessary, as it costs very little effort to put the peels where they will not harm any one. We have seen people pu,t peels on the sidwalk just to see the fun of some one slipping. Such acts are criminal. "We believe there is an ordinance in ~ Bamberg against this practice. If not, there should be. In another place in The Herald to-day, we print the programme for : farming under boll weevil^conditions as outlined by the committee of farm- j Iers and business men headed by Dr. 5 W. W. Long and former Governor R. I. Manning. The programme was t drafted by a sub-committee, headed by David R. Coker, of Hartsville. < This is perhaps the first authentic, programme yet outlined by practical j 'and successful farmers, and we com-j mend it to the attention of every j farmer reader of this paper. We do ^ npt pretend to say what farmers .! should do under the conditions ex-! dsting today. The boll weevil has al-j . ready revolutionized farming in the | southern section of South Carolina: old ways are no longer effective on the farm. New ways have been sought: V- and found by some, but the greater number of farmers are yet at sea in! H regard *to real farming. Hence, this article is timely. It was prepared by. Bp v . successful farmers, not merely fine j theorists, and for this reason ought: ^ to be instructive. Read the article R-V* carefully; clip it out and save it and read it again and again during the" ; * i ^winter. As to whether you act in ac- j cordance with the suggestions is a ! matter you must decide for yourself.' TO WITHDRAW TROOPS. Half of the Soldiers on the Rhine: are Coming Home. The gradual withdrawal of American troops from Germany expected to; Bp. start within two weeks, will involve a reduction of the Aemrican forces . there to about one-half of the present strength of 13.500 officers and j men. The reduction win oe acrom-, plished by the middle of next March. Details of plans for the withdrawal: gv' were made public after a conference i between Secretaries Weeks and * Highes. The forces to be\withdrawn B consist of 126 officers and 7,873 merf of the total of 498 officers anj 13,190 men. Two army transports, the Can| tingny and the Cambral will be used the first troops starting from Germany about the middle of November. Men whose enlistments in the army are nearimg expiration will be first returned. The fiftieth infantry has been placed on the inactive list and will be dis? banded with all provisional organizations expect the headquarters BW? troops and the headquarters staff of the army of occupation. The organizations which remain will be reduced to a status sufficient only to impose a headquarters, one brigade of infan r . try and necessary auxiliary troops. ffc* Sweden uses 30 shiploads of aspen each year to make matches.

Xov. 1.?It must be as sad! to our friends of Charleston as it is interesting to our esteemed brethren of The News and Courier to find that the present site of the ' city by the sea." was not on the original plan j of our Creator, in so far as the demarcation of land and sea was concerned. Xo, the shark .teeth, etc., recently found in the deep well boring at Bamberg, brings forth the admittance from the Xews and Courier itself that possibly the site of Bamberg in the ages past was out at sea. Of course we all have to some extent theorized all along that the whole low country w?as at some time sea bed. In other words we have alwrays believed it, and Charlestonians feared it. Now our belief is verified, and their feaxs confirmed. Charleston was built to some extent on up-country dirt, and really not upon a special dirt selected before "the beginning." Who knows but that within the next ten thousand years Charleston will be an inland town, and a part of South Carolina? Sunday, October 23rd, the Bethel Methodist Sunday school observed Cradle Roll day. A large number of the babies of the .town was present and furnished entertainment for | those present. Mrs. C. C. Morris and ! Mrs. C. M. Peeler had charge of this particular part of the programme and furnished a short but very interesting list of special exercises. As for the part played by the babies, they were all quietly seated upon the pulpit, regularly arranged according to the* I programme. In reality they were at one time or other in such position, but were for the time allowed to roam, with only their own quasiwills as their guides. And why not? It was Cradle Roll day. and should they not do as they pleased? They did?and they willed very differently, sundrily, and often humorously. Yes, times are seriously hard and tight, but it does relieve the monotony greatly to forget about it for awhile now and -then, and even to do things which really imply that conditions are the opposite to realities. For instance, the Olar Baptist church is in the act of being rebuilt, and th? Bethel Methodist church isadding to the present structure a twostory, eight-room Sunday school de% partment. The plans for the addition -to the Methodist church, I understand, ai?e about complete, and work will begin right away. And, incidentally, I think-it not at ail out of order to preach locally what some are already advocating for the state and nation: that is the fact that if municipalities, 'counties, etotoc nr natinn havp ,rhp mnnpv nn hand, they owe it to their citizens out of work to start something in order to give these unemployed a chance to make bread faff their families. These must be fed, and although such is rarely the case, there are times and conditions under which such community units are partially responsible for stealing. As a juror what would I do if a perfectly honest man, judged by his whole life conduct previously, were to present his case in court that he had to relieve some good brother of his surplus food in order td keep his own household alive? You answer it. EX-SENATOR MAY SEE. Thomas P. Gore, of Oklahoma^ Has Been Blind Thirty Years. After more than thirty years in perpetual darkness. ex-Senator Thomas P. Gore, of Oklahoma, has been given hope that his sight may be restored, writes Xorris Quinn. a Wash- 1 ington correspondent. If the treatment he is now undergoing at the hands of a Boston speoia-ist is successful, what will the blind senator, lawyer, schoolmaster and sociologist be most eaj?er to see? First of all, his wife. He courted and wed her 21 years ago, but he has never seen her. Then? His eighteen year old daughter and ten year old son, whose growth from infancy he has been able to follow only by a pat of the hand. Then?
