Ehrhardt, November 7.?The com- j

f the school districts of Ehrhardt, St.

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

The idea of this Farmers' Exchange

Q_ occasion, for the mutual benefit tc
all. xne iaea tnat nas Deen currem

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

>,000 Last Week
It is seldom that a whole week of
court goes on with only three jury
trials concluded, but this is exactly
what happened in Bamberg the past
week in the court of common pleas.
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.
