fflbcpamberg ^eralb ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. Published Weekly at Bamberg, S. C. Entered as second-class matter April 1891, under Act of March 3, 187.9. $2.00 PER YEAR. Volume 31. No. 12. V ???? Thursday, March 23,1922. Weather conditions have been quite favorable to the propagation of the boll weevil this year. The winter has been very mild; the ground has not been frozen hard a single time; the spring has been unfavorable to early planting. The coql weather has been accompanied b;y .much rain. Practically no crops have been planted yet. Some farmers had planted cotton long before * this last year. The marketing movement has a good start in Bamberg county. The farmers of the county have linked up with the tobacco, cotton and truck ' marketing organizations. With the perfection of these selling agencies, it is safe to predict that the planters are going to enjoy better conditions in the sout^i. We cannot see; that any planter stands to lose anything by going in with the marketing organizations, and he may lose much by not doing so. People still call for free garden seeds. The Herald regrets to announce that the supply has long since been exhausted, and no more seeds can be passed out, unless our genial congressman can jolly the agricultural department into forwarding an v other supply. Never before in the recollection of this (writer has there' been such a demand for free seeds. On several occasions heretofore The Herald has had to beg people to take seeds. Gardeners evidently appreciate free seeds this year. There has been a perceptible tightening up in the jury rooms of South Carolina during the past few years. There has been a decided change of sentiment in regard to crime, and this sentiment is having a marked effect on the commission of crime, which is not as prevalent now as a year ago. A few years ago a person with influence and money could come very near to buying his freedom in this state; not directly, of course, but just as surely by other and perhaps legal methods accomplishing the same thing. This is not nearly so easy to accomplish today. ?? {Much interest 4s being taken in f the scientific world in the story of the finding in Patagonia of a prehistoric animal, thought extinct for some thousands of years. The animal is said to be ond hundred feet long, and the exact replica of fossils found in the same country. An expedition - has been fitted out, it is said, to get the animal, dead or alive, whereupon the Patagonian society equivalent to the American Society for the Preven ' tion of Cruelty to Animals protests that the beast ought to be allowed to live, especially as it appears to * be the only one in existence. According to the Spartanburg Heraid there are only eleven Spartans "being spoken of" as possible can\ didates for governor this summer. Of course, as the season is yet early, it is not at all unlikely that there may be others. However, there are orvm cx ctrAn cr m On in th P lint and if OV1UV OVA VUQ MAVM ?* w f they really mean business, there is going to be a lively campaign this year. It is very likely, though, that the first intimation some of these gentlemen had that they were going in for the governorship was when they read their names in the Herald one morning recently. That is one benefit of having friends whose interest is sufficient to enter one in a political race. A writer in the Columbia State frnm fLrpftnvilla savs: "Last vear I made $1,000,000 and have paid $750 ,000 income tax, including surtax. After I spit up $250,000 for the state, I will proceed to take a long vacation, as 1 will he just as well off to twiddle my thumbs as to work my head off. Several thousand men in my employ will be out of a job beginning April 1." This is probably a joke at the expense of the new income tax law. No man in this neck oi wooas is prepared 10 Deneve tnai anybody in South Carolina made a million dollars last year. However, that may be, there is a lot of common sense in the item. It is not our impression that $750,000 tax is extracted from a million dollar income, but it is dangerously near the i o a r a aaa ~ amuuiiL?ituuut ^o;)u,uuu we uciitjve. If anybody is fortunate enough to make a million in a year in this state, he will have to pay in addition to this amount $217,000 to the state, making a total income tax of $867,000. After thinking the matter over carefully and judiciously, we have decided not to become a millionaire. There are certain unpleasant things about this question of equal rights. The women now are full fledged citizens; their dut y is to vote, to serve on juries, and so on. No women have been placed in the jury boxes in this state yet, but they will be. South Carolina petit juries have a way about them of wrangling mudh over verdicts in some cases and they frequently spend a night or two locked up; under the law they cannot be separated. In St. Paul recently a jury composed of seven women and five men had to spend two niorhtc inrkeri in one room before a UJN3UVW - V v.. w ? - _ _ verdict could be reached. When only men were eligible for jury duty nobody was greatly concerned when a jury elected to argue for a day or two about a case; but with women involved it becomes a different matter. Thp mdinnhnne is a new inven tion that is making good. There have been so -many marvelous new inventions in recent years that people have not yet realized the wonders of the radiophone. This is a little instrument, we are told, about the size of an ordinary parlor phonograph, by the means of which the family circle may listen in on concerts given in Philadelphia or New York at certain hours of the day or evening. It is a wireless instrument, and the cost is said not to greatly exceed that of a talking machine of the better kind. This little invention bids fair to revolutionize things in contra! and it mav be ineresting further to note that the instrument is not merely in the exi>erimental stage, but thousands of them are being installed in homes and ctyibs all over the country. The scope of the radiophone is nof limited to concerts; sermons, news dispatches, etc., are heard with equal ease and accuracy. WILSON REGAINS HEALTH. Former President Also Retains All of His Old Time Popularity. Washington Maych 4.?Former President Woodrow Wilsoh today concluded one year as a private citizen living in seclusion after eight years of public life. When he left the White House a year ago he was enfeebled and broken in health. Today, according to those who have talked ??A"t- n-i?

This is particularly noticeable, they say, in the returning power of his voice, and freedom of movement. Mr. Wilson's ^health, it is said, is generally better today than it has been at any time since he broke down at Wichita, Kan., under the strain of the vigorous stumping campaign in behalf of the League of Nations during the .fall of 1919. When he left the White House for the last time to attend the inauguration of his successor his face was ashen gray and clearly revealed by deep lines the long fight he had made against an illness which many believed would keep him in bed for the rest of his days. Today Mr. Wilson weighs as much as he did wihen he was stricken. The lines have gone from his eyes and tr\ A Lio OATYI T\1 OVl 5 Q II1 b UUCCAO, auu XI10 vuiut>ivAiuu -w ruddy, showing clearly the result of the extreme care with which his health is guarded. Further evidence of the improvement is shown by the increasing number of visitors calling at his home, the resumption of small family dinner parties and the constantly increasing frequency of long automo" - "? -a ?~ A1 Dlie naes ana visns iu me lueaue.

Carlos Corbett Loses in Supreme Court Washington, March 20.?The supreme court today, for want of jurisdiction, dismissed the case of Carlos Corbett, plaintiff in error, against the state of South Carolina, defendant in error. The effect of the dismissal will be that Corbett will have again to face a charge of murder. , \ Corbett killed three men near Salley in Orangeburg county more than a year ago by firing separate and distinct shots at the different men. He was tried for the killing of one of the men and acquitted. When arraigned for trial on a separate indictment for the killing of another of the men, he interposed a plea of for mer jeopardy. Counsel for the state demurred on this plea. The circuit judge overruled the demurrer. The state appealed to the supreme court of the state of South Carolina. That court rendered its decision in October, 1921, reversing the trial judge and remanding the case to the cirt cuit court for trial. Application for a writ of error to the supreme court of the United States was then presented by counsel for Corbett and allowed by Chief Justice Gary of the supreme court of South Carolina. The state of South Carolina moved that the case be dismissed by the supreme court of the United States for want of jurisdiction for the follow mig reasons: (1) Because there had been no final judgment rendered in the case. (2) Because even were judgment final, it would not be reviewable by writ of error. (3) Because even were the judgment final and reviewable by writ of error, the supreme court, had in numerous cases decided the jtj,uestion raised contrary to the contention to the plaintiff in error. NEGROES LEAVE TRAIN. Actors Refuse to Ride in "Jim Crow" Compartment. Winchester, Va., March 15.?Rath er than ride in a "Jim Crow" compartment of a Pennsylvania train from the state line to this city, Charles S. Gilpin, negro actor and his troupe , quit t'he train at Clearbrook, Va., and made the rest of the trip to Winchester by automobile. When the conductor told Gilpin the Virginia state requirements inj regard to negro passengers, a heated argument is said to have followed, which resulted in some quotations DwAn.'Jnnt TJo OvnrDOCpH 11ULU X 1 COlUCUb li?iuiu:3 a VA[/i vuu^u i views on the negro question. The conductor refused to be persuaded by the arguments. Gilpin got off and his company followed. Making a Success of Onions. To date Mr. Profhro has marketed $40 worth of onions from an acre and he has just started. He is very enthusiastic over the prospects of this as one of the crops that will help fight Mr. Weevil. Last year, owing to extreme heat and dry weather, the production of onions in the United States was curtailed, creating a shortage. Since then many have been imported and the prices have been high. A good many other farmers of this section have planted onions this year and within a few years it will not be an unusual sight to see several cars of onions leaving Williston. Mr. Prothro says that from 100 to 300 bushels can be made to the acre and $1 a bushel is a very moderate price. While they should be planted in the fall, it is even now not too late to plant some, especially should each farmer require his share-croppers to plant enough for their own use. Mr. Prothro has demonstrated that the ideal way for the man to grow onions who has not planted the seed 1- AIT? n 2- V..? .T eariy in une ran 15 tu uuy me uuiuii plants rather than sets. He has sold all of the plants he has to spare and could sell many more. This thinnea o.ut his acre and now he is shipping fine onions and receiving good prices fpr them. A trip to his farm simply to see these onions is worth while.? Williston Way. "THE MICROBE OP LOVE," NOV. 28th AND 29th.

TO BORROW MONEY. State Financing Committee Leaves On Trip For Cash. Governor Cooper, Sam T. Carter, state treasurer, Walter E. Duncan, comptroller general, and J. Pope Matthews, president of the Palmetto National bank, left Columbia yester day afternoon for New York, where they will negotiate a loan of $3,000,000 for the state government. The governor, the comptroller general and the state treasurer are authorized by law to borrow money every year to run the government in anticipation of the taxes to be coli lected. This year the sum to be borrowed will be $3,000,000. Under the terms of the general appropriation bill the committee is authorized to borrow not to exceed $5,050,000, but the seven mill levy will not permit of this amount being borrowed.
