Thursday, January 5,1922. .. ... The Columbia committee on the unemployment problem has submit\ ted a lengthy report to the governor, with several important recommendations. Chief among these is the recommendation that all public buildlug projects be inaugurated at once in order to afford employment for as many persons as possible. While ?iJ>" ' JMiilriinp- nrnieota will not keen a very large number of persons employed, still the projects anticipated in Bamberg county would give work | to several hundred employees for several months. As already stated in The Herald contracts have been awarded for the construction of the Edisto river bridge at a cost of $35,, 000, and the causeway through the swamp for approximately $5,000. * The building of the proposed highway from Bamberg to Edisto river ! on the Charleston road would add fc some $30,000i to the public expendij tures. If the proposed high school avaaIA/1 iw HamKofiflP I UUltUiUg ncic ciwicu iu uaiaucig this year, it would probably put something like $25,000 more in cirI culation. Thus, if the work that is now proposed is carried out this year, < It will mean a hundred thousand dollars paid in wages during the year. That this would afford tremendous Relief to the unemployment problem cannot be doubted. There is a further reason for doira? construction work at present. Labor is now cheauer than in years, and no doubt cheaper than it will be a year hence. A building may be erected or a road ||v , > ; constructed now for considerably less than next fall or next year. There pt^Y are two distinct advantages for the carrying forward of building and| g.V construction projects now: The saving of money in the operations, and the giving of employment to unemployed persons. j|?: BLACKVUIE BUREAU fife - y.Blackville, Jan 3.?Christmas and S^y . new year festivities are over and the people of Blackville are beginning once again to move along "in the even tenor of their way." A great many business changes have taken place* many old residents have mov?|py ed away, and new comers have taken their places. The spirit of optimism prevails generally, only oc tcasionally an oia pessimist" appears on the scene whose "liver is out of - order." , Last Thursday afternoon the pretty and comfortable home of Mr. and -Mrs. Murray Mathis was destroyed by fire. No one was at home and it is not known how it caught. All the outhouses also burned, and a substantial dwelling nearby belonging to a colored man, Jim Odom. Insurance was carried on both homes. Friends of little Marion Bradford will be delighted to learn that she iis doing nicely, after having her leg broken in an automobile accident. Just before Christmas she was run over* by Mrs. Nellie ( Rush, who was driving a car belonging to her mother, Mrs. J. L. Buist. The accident was entirely unavoidable, and no blame whatever was attached to Mrs. Rush. She and the child received an equal amount of sympathy by such a oau avA/iucui. Mrs. Nonie Williams, on coming out of the house of a friend several jii;' days a??o, made a mistep and broke her arm in falling. Her many friends hope for her a speedy recovery. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Free will regret to learn that ' they have moved to Columbia where Mr. Free has accepted a position. Friends of Mrs. B. J.

On account of real estate being returned again for 1922, I would suggest that each taxpayer owning land find out just how many acres he has of tenable land, number of acres of wood land, and number of acres of swamp land. That will enable the board of assessors to get at the valua-i tion more accurate, and the land owner will not have to pay as much for inferior land as he pays for lands that he is cultivating.
