Ehrhardt, November 7.?The com- j K raunity fair association, comprising f the school districts of Ehrhardt, St. John, Oak Grove, Kearse, and Hey- J | ward, held its first fair here last j ' TVin Phrhordt cr>h.r?nl hll11H_ ! J.' liua; . 1UC A-I1H VkV WVMW* j ing and grounds were used to dis-! play the exhibits and accommodate, 1 the large crowd that attended. The! destructive work of the boll weevil was forgotten, the pessimistic wail of hard times was silenced, and the belief that the good old ship of prosperity was fast sinking was discredit-! ed, when the people of these communities came, saw, and caught the optimistic spirit of the occasion, (which was inspired byvthe remarkable exhibits which they found on display and the wonderful cooperation among the people which they sa^ manifested. Faith, hope, determination were reawakened in the hearts of all, and all were brought to the realization that we still live in a God blessed country, where all that is necessary to attain a greater success than any we have enjoyed in the past is perseverance and intelligent work. The first event on the programme was the parade by the children of the above named schools. Forming in the grove on upper Main street, each school headed by a beautiful float, the five hundred school children marched down Main street to the school building and on out to the athletic field, where Prof. L. E. Kirby made a short address of welcome, to which Prof. W. F. Hiers responded in behalf of the schools. Next came the meeting in the auditorium, where, after prayer by Prof. Kirby, the mayor, Dr. J. H. Wnftks fixt.ended a hearty welcome in behalf of the town. Interesting talks by the president, J. H. A. Carter, and G. B. Kinard and J. D. Brandon, were I made, after which Prof. Winters, of Clemson college, made the best farm address ever heard in this town, his subject being "Economical Produc| tion." He likened production to a five-legged being which the farmers have for lo these many years forced to walk on only one leg. He clearly demonstrated that the curse of farming has been the fact that the farmer !? has tried to obtain large production ? and keep his land up on commercial fertilizers, the result being expensive % crops, low yield, and land getting ? z poorer each year. Whereas, econo?J?* 1 non had rrn 1V bv UliUM VUUVV1VU vuu MV ? ? ? ; controlling tlie moisture, providing humus for the land, good cultivation, liming occasionally, and rotating with crops that provide and retain nitrogen. In the course of his remarks he ? also paid his respects to the boll weevil, showing how farmers so often provide comfortable winter hotels for the pestiferous insect. There is no doubt that he made many farmers ashamed of the bungling job they have been putting up and brought them to the conclusion that it takes thought and intelligent study ft as well as manual labor to farm. As for the exhibits, they were magw nificent. Com, potatoes, sugar cane, millet, rice, wheafl^ye, oats, velvet beans, string beans, squash, okra, peas, peanuts, turnips, ruta bagas, and?yes?one little boll of cotton, filled one room in which the farm products were displayed. The many canned viands were so appetizing that one gentleman who was taking in this room about the noon hour had to leave and go get something to eat. There was so much fancy work and of such a high grade that one would conclude that every womI an, girl and boy in this part of the ft world must be an expert in this line. A Beautiful hand painted pictures fill Ied the art room and made one feel that he was in a real art gallery. Many days could have been interestingly spent in the antique room studying the quaint historic relics of the past found displayed there, many of Which had real history connected with them. You were carried back to pre-revolutionary times as you read the land grant issued by King beorge of England; you witnessed ke record of the transactions of the Bave dealers, and you gazed upon psses worn by the dames of long ^^ ^^Bhree cheers for Miss Emma Jane and J.

The vapp riAue fnniniiHoPe annnintaH lasl or week have been busy investigating 1_ and arranging details, and while the *e programme has not yet ;been completed, a rough outline of it has beer t0 prepared, and it has gone sufficienl 10 to insure Bamberg county a big oc casion for four days, beginning or I(* Tuesday, November 29, and lasting t0 through Friday, December 2. ie The idea of this Farmers' Exchange 3r week is to get 'the people of the enQ_ tire county and surrounding territorv interested in a big get-togethei Q_ occasion, for the mutual benefit tc all. xne iaea tnat nas Deen currem r_ among a few people that it was in the nature of a ^trade week" is entirely erroneous. According to 'the present plans, there is no hope foi l(j the people of Bamberg to realize anj t mone&ry profit, except that whict . will come as a mutual benefit tc everybody. No one is going into the exchange week for the profit there is in it. But it is sincerely hoped that the occasion may be one of greal ar profit to the county as a whole, anc especially to the farmers who have ^ large stocks of produce for which * .ready markets have not been found ^ It is not possible to go into the jj matter at any length at this time, as ' the marketing committee has nol ' completed its investigation, but the committee is in hopes of being able to afford the farmers an outlet foi their produce for their immediate .-j needs, and possibly a wholesale marj ket for their produce.

Several motions were heard by the judge, a number of orders passed, some other cases settled and ended rt n /I r? frtnf Af mo f /if auu a icw utuci aiacigio uic^vowu but only three cases tried before a jury. Court convened Monday morning and did not finally end until Saturday morning. The first case tried was that of Miss Mamie J. Bennett against the Southern railway in which, she asked for $50,000 damages; the details of the case were reviewed in the last issue of The Herald. The jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $3,000. It required all of Monday morning for the court to begin to function materially and this case took up the balance of thalt day and aU of Tuesday. The next was tried Wednesday, the plaintiff being F. H. McCrae, of Denmark, who sued E. L. Spires and his wife, Mrs. Hattie M. Spires, jointly, for an account approximating $500 for goods alleged to have been purchased during the year 1920. Mr. Spires did not deny the indebtedness and accordingly a judgment was taken against him for the amount involved, but in the matter of Mrs. Spires's lia bility the jury found for the defendThe final case tried occupied two entire days of the court's time, another railroad damage suit case which included two suits in one, with practically'the same facts in each, the same plaintiff and the same defendants. This was W. T. Stanland against the Atlantic Coast Line railroad and Captain Tillman, one of its conductors, and Engineer Bobbitt. The facts briefly and substantially as brouight out were as follows: On Thanksgiving, 1920, Mr. Stanland decided to take his son, Otley Stanland, a young . man who had been suffering from a severe attack of malaria and had then developed a critical case of hemmorrhagic fever, from his home in Jasper county to a hospital in Savannah for treatment. The boy about 19 years old was accordingly carried to the railroad station at Gyivania in said county and placed in the baggage car on a cot in charge of his father for transportation to SaivannaJh. Evidence was introduced to show that me iamer was waiucu tuai uc uam would be delayed due to a wreck' ahead. However, the trip was attempted and the train was delayed on |S the Carolina side of the Savannah river for a number of hours on account of the wreck above mentioned. The train was heated by steam from the engine and in the meantime the engine cut off and with it the heat. It was alleged that in this manner the car became chilled superinducing hemorrhages and a chill to the patient, and that he further suffered untold pain and agony from this and by reason of jolts, shocks, jars, etc., in roughly handling 'the train and couplings, and tha't none of the train crew attempted to render any assitanee although pleaded with by the boy's father for help and attention, *f| from which it was alleged young Stanland died the next day after reaching Savannah. Two suits were entered . t by W. T. Stanland, father of the boy, as administrator of his estate, and in behalf of his parents. In one case damages in the sum of $50,000 were demanded for pain and suffering to the deceased, while in the other $75,000 was asked for his death. In the pain and suffering case the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff against the railroad for $5,000, and in the death case a verdict was rendered for the defendants. It is not yet known whether the judgments in the Bennett and Stanland cases will be paid by the respective railroads at an early date or the cases appealed to the supreme court of South Carolina, but the railroads usually appeal everything in sight. Mr. Stanland is now a citizen of Bamberg county, living at Olar, while Miss Bennett is from Colleton. There will be another one week term . % | of the court of common pleas held here beginning Monday, November 28th, this being a special term. His Grievance. "Ma, teacher's awful mean."
