Carter, who has been critically ill in ~ an infirmary in Charleston for the (past two weeks, will 'be delighted to know that she is very much improved. Mr. Carter, who has been constantly at her bedside for more than a. week; returned to Bamberg Tuesday morning. The mayor's court Monday morning was of short duration; only two cases were on docket, and both were disposed of and netted the city $55 ; / in fines. One was a minor charge against a negro who was fined $5, while the other was against a white man for violation of the prohibition ordinance. He entered a plea of guilty and handed over $50. V x The Herafh has no way of knowing whether the subscribers asking for \ the Southern Agriculturist are receiv&>; lug that paper or not. If no copies pv" are received in three or four weeks |-v; After order is given, we will be glad to be informed, so we can look after it. It takes about that length of . time, however, to get the farm paper started, as it is receiving thousands of subscriptions from all over the jp - south, and it takes time to get them on the mailing lists. T Many of the old trees on Carlisle school campus and the streets adjacent thereto have been cut down during the last few days and sawed or cut into firewood, mosi or inem were already dead and of little value for sliade or as objects of beauty. Two hickory trees on Elm street were included, one dead; the other which was alive has stood there it seems almost from time immemorial as a landmark. New and more attractive t... trees have been set out to take the place of the ones cut down. m **** m / Quite True. fc V. - . gftC'-' 1 folV hard h'mps ,hnt. th^re X tUAU.

It is surplus ?money laid away for a rainy day ?safely in the two local banks, drawing five per cent. In addition to this, there is at least another hundred thousand loaned out by private individuals at 8 per cent, and more. There is also a great quantity of money, held in small lots, that is either kept in secret places in the homes or carried in pocketbooks. And much of the apparent "hard times" is oc? casioned by this idle money that is kept out of circulation. If every dollar in this community should be placed in the banks tomorrow and thus; be made to work, conditions would j improve in forty-eight hours.?Foun- i tain Inn Trbune. gT-v'v. Marion R. Cooper Dies in Columbia Hon. Marion R. Cooper, aged member of the lower house of the general assembly of South Carolina, died at the home of his sister, Mrs. Clark, in Columbia, last week after an illness of short duration.

Cooper, of that place, frequently visited there and in Bamberg and was well known in this section of the state. Years ago when in his youthful vigor, Mr. Cooper was a prominent figure in state political circles, and was a delegate to the national Democratic convention in Chicago in 1896 when William Jennings Bryan was nominated to oppose President William McKinley. He had also served two terms as secretary of state. He was a staunch supporter from first to last of Hon. Jesse F.

Cooper, and he was buried in his old home town cemetery in Denmark Sunday afternoon id the presence of a large number of his townspeople and others who came to pay their respects. The funeral was conducted by Rev. R. L. Keaton, of Green Street Methodist church, Columbia, and chaplain of the house. A house committee of six members was appointed by the speaker to accompany the remains to Denmark for burial, as well as a senate committee.

A., stationed at Fort Clark, Neb.; three sisters, Mrs. Lizzie Clark, of Columbia, and the Misses Julia and Lily Cooper, of Denmark, and one brother, W. S. Cooper, of Denmark. The deceased, who was a retired merchant of Port Royal, Beaufort county, was born at Denmark September 21, 1849. He received a common school education, attending the schools of this county from 1857 to I 1865. He moved his residence to "?1 n ?-1 >1079 qnH thora ontpr. run m 10 >? ?uu vuv* v v?>w. ed into ship brokerage business under the name of Cooper & Duke. In 1874 he was elected clerk and, treasurer of Port Royal. In 1876, when the famous Red Shirt movement spread over South Carolina, Mr. Cooper was one of the leaders, and, in addition, was the president of the Democratic club of his town. In 1877 he moved to Charleston, where he was made city inspector of lumber. He married Miss Lizzie Gibson, of Charleston, December 22, 1880, and she died in 1907. ? ? - m Mr. uooper removea irorn uaaneaton to Adams Run in 1885, and there operated a saw mill and a farm. He was county Democratic chairman and a member of the house of representatives from 1892-95, and a year later was elected a delegate to the Democratic national convention. During 1897-98 he was a member of the state board of control. Mr. Cooper, who was an adherent of Sen. B. R. Tillman, was elected secretary of state in 1897 and served until 1902, when he retired and returned to Port Royal, where he serv ed as magistrate until elected to the thouse in 1918, and was reelected in 1920; TUSKEGEE PROFESSOR COMING.

Carver, director of the agricultural experiment station at Tuskegee institute, Ala., will speak at the Voorhees Industrial institute, Denmark, on Wednesday, February 22, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The public is cordially invited to hear him. Prof. Carter is one of the foremost scientists of the day and has a national reputation.

Prof. Carver is a graduate of the State Agricultural college of Iowa, and was selected by Booker T. Washington for the important position he now holds on account of his remarkable ability and accurate scientific research. * M. A. Bamberg Hall is Being Remodeled Workmen have begun the job of repairing and remodeling the Mary Ann Bamberg hall at Carlisle school. This building, a nice frame structure, j had been occupied by the boys as a j dormitory. Last fall fire gutted it completely, and while the fire department did splendid work that night and practically confined the blaze to the upper story, still by reason of water damage and breakage, the building was rendered absolutely unfit for further use as it stood. There was some trouble experienced in obtaining a satisfactory adjustment with the insurance company, and this delayed matters no little. However, this feature has been entirely cleared up, and the work will go forward rapidly to its completion. Thp sppond storv will have to be completely rebuilt anew and considerable repairing and remodeling done throughout the building. The building will be ready for use before the opening of another school session, however, and when finished this time Mary Ann Bamberg hall will be a commodious and modern home for any or all of the students who should be assigned rooms therein.

Columbia, -Feb. 13.?After taking a recess from their labors for the week-end, members of the house of representatives at last buckled down and advanced a large number of bills on the house calendar, the most important of which were the measures providing for a tax on luxuries and strengthening the law prohibiting the giving of worthless checks. These measures were sent onnota Kr /tnmfnptahlo ma inn' IU tut? ocuatt vj WU&1.VA vw>?/*v ties and the house plainly demonstrated that it had no desire to further debate them. E. P. Hughes, chairman of the ways and means committee, stated that the general appropriation bill would be introduced in the house some time tomorrow. The bill is being written now. The introduction of the bill always predicts preparation for the end of the general assembly. The estimate tonight is that the legislature will adjourn sine die on the night of March 4, unless something unforeseen happens. The bill should go to the senate this week and it is now estimated the upper body will not occupy more than two weeks in committee hearings and debate on it. Acquitted of Murder in 22 Minutes. r Anderson, Feb. 10.?Barney L. Ramey, charged with murder, had a most unusual trial today, having been tried and acquitted by the jury in 22 minutes. The mother of the young boy told the story of how Barney went to the rescue of his father when he was killed, when Walter Hays, Tom Hays, Allen Emerson and Geo. and Ed Wilson came to their home. Mrs. Ramey stated that Barney fired one shot from his gun in the defense of his father, this shot killing Tom Hays. Barney also told the story and Solicitor Harris requested tlie court to order a verdict of not guilty. Hogs and Cattle Are Sold Cooperatively There is a movement on foot to organize the farmers into a Cooperative Cotton Marketing association. This is all right; something which i should have been in operation years ago wnen we couia matve cuuuu <u will. It will help now. The farmers of Bamberg county have learned to grow something else besides cotton. This ?has been made possible by the production of peanuts and velvet beans in great quantities. The farmers around Denmark have caught the cooperative marketing fej ver and have really enjoyed some of its benefits. A carload of hogs was shipped from Denmark a few days ago. This car was loaded with hogs furnished by J. D. Turner, St. C. P. Guess, J. B. Guess, Jr., and others. Five carloads of hogs have ntiinnnd frAm flanmarb within L/CCU uum i^vuuiui u < i?..u the last two months. A couple of carloads of cattle have been shipped from Denmark within this same period. There is a large quantity of surplus cattle and hogs in our county and they can easily be turned into money through this cooperative mdthod by the farmers at a great benefit to all of the cooperators. Let this spirit of cooperation among the farmers continue to grow and spread until there will be in every nook and corner of our beloved county the spirit of cooperation, as this is the only method by which we can ever hope to beat the boll weevil and get back on the road to prosperity once more. There is to be grown in this county afgreat quantity of truck, such as watermelons, cucumbers, beans,, tomatoes, cantaloupes, etc. To be able to dispose of these crops at a profit to the farmers, there should be a co i--i; ? operative marKeuug assuvaanuu tu handle not only cotton but all other products of the farm. Cooperative marketing is the remedy and this can be accomplished through the aid and direction of the bankers, farmers and other business men cooperating.? E. D. Jenkins, local agent, Denmark. DEPUTY COLLECTOR COMING. T. N. Parks, Jr., Will Assist in Income Returns From Feb. 15 to 20. T. N. Parks, Jr., deputy collector, of the internal revenue service, ad vises The Herald that he will be in this county five days from February 15 to 20, inclusive, excepting Sunday, for bhe purpose of assisting the taxpayers in the preparation of their individual income tax returns. On these days Mr. Parks will devote his entire time to giving any assistance required to taxpayers. His schedule for this county is as follows: Bamberg?Feb. 15, 16, and 17, at the office of the county auditor in the court house. Ehrhardt?February 18, at the Ehrnardt Banking company. Denmark?February 20, at the Citizens Exchange Bank. Denies He Pound $40,000. f " Marion, Feb. 8.?A report was current here Monday that Cicero Wise, son of A. G. Wise, who lives two miles west of Marion, plowed up $40,000 in gold coins in his field that day, but this report has been denied by Mr. Wise. Several neighbors said that they had heard the same report and Monday rumors were flying thick and fast regarding the supposed fortune. Death of Little Girl. Little Sue, three year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. England, died on Wednesday morning, February 1. She had been ill for several days. The body was interred at Edisto church, Rev. S. O. Cantey, of Bamberg, conducted the services., Mr. and Mrs. England have the sympathy of their many friends in their distress. A Correction. The attention of The Herald is called to an error in the last issue of the paper. It was stated that H. Karesh, of Ehrhardt, had been designated as chairman for Bamberg county for the Jewish relief campaign. This was erroneous. M. Leinwand, of Ehrhardt, is chairman for the county, and all contributions to this cause should be forwarded to him. Plenty of 'Em. * nn.tnin lnrr? r?h O n 1 fir W3 ?5 ifl n.

"I'm the lord chancellor," he said to the attendant, who was of course, ignorant of ihis identity. "Oh, you are, are you?" was the reply. "That's all right. Walk straight through. We 'ave three more of 'em in 'ere." Big Liquor Raid Was Staged Last Saturday One of the most extended whiskey raids ever engaged in around Bamberg was conducted here last Saturday afternoon, but scarcely any liquor was captured. Much drunkenness and evidence of considerable drinking has been noticeable in the city recently and city council received numerous complaints from citizens and frequent reports that places in town were indulging in the illegal traffic. The raid was carefully planned and quietly conducted from the beginning of the plans until the end of the raid, and consequently came as very sudden and unexpected news to the entire populace. It was systematically carried out, each raiding party being armed with search warrants properly drawn up for the occasion. The entire council, including the mayor, ana a numDer 01 private uuicuo juxued in the hunt; every care and precaution was taken; every degree of secrecy was maintained to the last, and every known means was employed to locate the stuff, only such places as had been reported for selling whiskey being entered. But that included no less than nine shops or places scattered throughout the city, in all of which thorough searches were made. The raiding squads were divided into three men each, who were delegated to a certain place in town, and in this way the affair was conducted so that as nearly as possible all places were approached about the same time. This, however, failed in one nr twn instances, and it is thought I might have precluded as much success as might have otherwise been accomplished. In certain sections some evidence of liquor handling was noted, it is said, but it seems that the only liquor actually discovered was about three-fourths of a quart bottle confiscated in a Main street establishment. There were some summonses to appear in court and one furnished bond, but apparently the raid was not destined tOx produce very fruitful results toward dampening the ardor of Bamberg liquor dealers, blindtigers and bootleggers. Yet it cannot be said that every reasonable effort was not made and every energy bent towards the right purpose. Tt ic a wall known fact that liauor is being continually and freely sold in Bamberg, but to furnish the direct proof is something else, and it seems that other plans will have to be de vised to nab the offenders. Winthrop Daughters Meet. The Winthrop Daughters met at the home of Mrs. M. E. Ayer Tuesday. A large and enthusiastic crowd was present and a most delightful afternoon was enjoyed. During the business hour it was unanimously decided to invite all Winthrop girls of this county to join the chapter. It is the desire of the chapter that it be able to furnish one of the bedrooms in Winthrop's new student building. j Poe was the subject for the literary programme. Mrs. R. C. Jones gave a most interesting sketch of his life and works; Miss Lillian Martin gave the gleaners' report, and current events were read by Mrs. James T. Burch. Following the programme the hostess, assisted by Mrs. Albert McMillan, served a sweet course. Renew your subscription today. MASTER'S SALE^ STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. County* of Bamberg.
