II Wyt Bamberg l^eralb ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. - ^ . Published Weekly at Bamberg, S. C. % Entered as second-class matter April 1891, under Act March 3, 1879. $2.00 PER YEAR. I Volume 31. a\o. z. Thursday, January 5,1922/ Every farmer and every one interested in farming ought to get a good farm paper. We have no hesitation in recommending the Southern Agriculturist. It is a good paper, published twice a month, and it has now 375,000 subscribers. This paper ! can be obtained free of all costs by B any one subscribing to The Herald B .for one year or by.renewing their B subscriptions for one year. There B are no strings tied to this offer. It B means you get a $1.00 farm paper one B year without cost to you. Thirty million pounds of toB bacco has been signed up for sale by B the marketing association of the tom* bacco growers, which indicates that I approximately half of the state's toB bacco crop will not be placed on wareB house floors to be sold atvthe prices B bid regardless of the Yalue of the B product. This moyement of cooperaBV, tive selling of tobacco is not confined B. . to South Carolina?indeed this state B is far behind in the movement, for B North Carolina and Virginia have signed up about three-fourths of their production, and Kentucky -has signed Iup practically the entire crop. Hereafter, we predict, the tobacco manufacturers will pay the producers the Talue of tobacco before they get it. Long distance telephone linemen certainly butchered the beautiful shade trees on Midway street and other streets with rebkless abandon last week. To make way for the overKaarf wires the bis limbs were sawed I and torn up unmercifully, and some ? v of the trees almost ruined. Such drastic steps seem altogether unnecessary; the local electric light company does not use such destructive methods in stringing \ts wires, and this abominable practice on the part of the telephone company should not be tolerated. The beauty of the trees has been killed, their usefulness as a gneans of shade has been practically wiped out for years, and the city's niantin? and raising I civic euuiis these large oaks and elms on the streets are to be spent in vain if they are allowed to be torn up as the ones on Midway street have been. Somebody should be made to answer and pay dearly. If such can be forced, for this wholesale destruction of public J:*. property. The first real event pointing to a f better relationship among the peopies of the earth, to our way of thinking, was the ratification of the new m * treaty between Great Britain and Ireland by the parliament of England and the dail ereann of Ireland. This k apparently ends the fued between Ireland and Great Britain of standing f for centuries. The agreement, which I . was not ratified without many prot; tests, gives Ireland the same status L . as Canada has enjoyed for years past. It may not be all that Ireland desired, # but it-gives that country virtual freef dom from England. The fact that the treaty was ratified in spite of the , strong opposition of many Irish leaders, including the so-called president. S|?.* augurs well for the Irish Free State, and indicates, apparently, that the T?o.r>nip arp no longer 'going to allow f ambitious politicians to hold the I country in a state of war. It seems to us that the surrendering of certain strong principles by both executive bodies should insure the success of the treaty. The general assembly of South Carolina at its present session .has an nnnnrtnnitv to render a distinct ser-j II-,. vice to the state when the election of an associate justice of the supreme court 'gets under way. For there will Wir be presented for election the name of a man who for intellectual ability, Christian character, stuK\V dious mind, legal attainments | and judicial temperament has |j^j?y rarely been equaled in the history of this commonwealth. That man is the Hon. Jesse Francis Carp ' ter, of Bamberg. Few men of such - v:_v innA nr. Yf -r Porter h O VP aS I 'd. Xligil Ijpc CIO VW. vv . pired to public office in South Carolina, and if elected he would most surely reward those responsible therefor by rendering a period of distinguished service on the bench such as this state has not enjoyed for years. Jesse Carter is the man of the hour. m , a big man for a big job; the mail above all men for this job. South Carolina or any other state does not often have the opportunity to accept such services. To decline them would be a calamity; to elect him would not ?only be a credit to himself and a blessing to the public, but would surely reflect great honor upon his native & Lit IC. . ?Mrs. L. P.

After these services the body was laid to rest in the Ehrhardt cemetery by t'he Eastern Star, this order rendering its beautiful burial services.

Mrs. Kinard who was seventy-two -years old, leaves a husband, many relatives and a host of friends to ihourn her departure: She was a faithful wife, a devoted Christian, a kind neighbor, and a loving friend. I i _____________ : BLACKVILLE BUREAU | > i Blackville, Jan. 11.?Sunday night Sanders's Pharmacy was found burn' 1 ' 4 ing from toe msiae oy me mem. watchman, Luther Stivender, who quickly gave the alarm. On account of the damp weather, the fire was. extinguished before the building was consumed. However, the goods in the store were a wreck, but fortunately insurance was carried. The origin of the fire is unknown. There have been several other small blazes in town recently, but they were put out before any dam! age was done.

Mrs. Jones had been regarding a second marriage with favor since the death of her husband, and was all aflutter when the sheriff, with whom she was slightly acquainted, came to the door with some evidence of embarrassment. "Madam," he began diffidently, "I have an attachment for you." "Sir," she replied, blushing, "it is reciprocated." "You don't understand me You must proceed to court." "Ah, now, do you think it's Leap Year? Do your own courting." "Mrs. Jones, this is no time for fooling. The justice is waiting."' "He is? Well, I suppose I must be going, 'though this is so sudden, and really, I prefer a minister." .?>vr*- >M ..vvv'i&Ua :4 . . ?? STATEMENT.

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 valuation 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.
