Brief Items From Town and County Carlisle school defeated the Springfield high school Tuesday afternoon at Rhoad park; score, 5 to 4, Truck of various kinds continues to be shipped from Bamberg. During the past week a number of persons have shipped English peas, lettuce and asparagus. Good average to fine prices have been secured for most of the truck shipped so far. Tobacco planters are busily engaged in transplanting tobacco plants. The plants are generally fine this year, and the crop is being started off under most favorable circumstances. A good tobacco year is ex pected. The weather for the past week has been very favorable for farm work, and most planters are well up with their farming operations. The rains of March were followed by fine clear warm days. Crops are growing nicely. tR. L. Beard, of Ehrhardt, has opened up a garage and automobile repair shop in the building formerly occupied by the Bamberg Bottling Works on Broad street. For several years past Mr. Beard has been located in Ehrhardt. jfof" Lewis Sandifer, a resident of this section, was carried to the Orangeburg 'hospital last week for an operation for appendicitis. His friends _ Wlii oe giaa lu kiiuw mat hav5 v/feio tion was apparently successful and that he is getting along very nicely. Dan Griffith, a young farmer "living near Bamberg, last week killed a very fine collie dog affected with rabies. The dog gave unmistakable evidence of being "mad," and Mr. Griffith dispatched it with a wagon spoke, running a very great risk to himself in thus attacking a ferocious canine. F. E. Steedly, of Hunter's Chapel, was in the city yesterday. He reports having seen a few days ago a "belled" buzzard. The bird was also seen a few days later about six ,miles distant. The vulture had tied around its neck a cow bell, and was making merry music as it soared in the v neighborhood. That the "linotype way is the only way" was strikingly exemplified last Saturday afternoon when tne presses of The Herald were turning out the regular issue of the Carlisle Bugle. The last form had been put on the press and in the hurry, it being late in the afternoon, a certain lever was not turned; the result was when the press started up the form went the opposite way, spilling the contents on the floor. If the type had been hand-set, there would have been no Bugle last week, but as it was linotype matter it was only a matter of . half hour or so before the Bugle was delivered. k- ' _ TJ. D, C. Meeting. fc- > ... " ?-i i * Mrsj Robert C. Jones was hostess to the F. M. Bamberg chapter of the U. D. C. Tuesday afternoon of last week at her home at four o'clock. Mrs. Jones, assisted b.v her sister, Miss Martin, graciously received a large number of the chapter's membership, and in addition quite a.numl her of invited guests. The programme was interesting and the music enjoyable. The president reported the amount cleared on "The Microbe of Love," which will enable the chapter to place the U. D. C. markers for Confederate veterans' graves in the cemeteries in Bamberg by the tenth of May, it is hoped. The chapter would like to mark all - the veterans' graves in the county, but since it cannot do so, there may be some families in the county who would like to order markers through the chapter, coming cheaper in large quantities. Those wishing to buy through, the chapter can communicate with Mrs. Frank Bamberg, chairman of this committee, and send orders for markers to her. After a most interesting programme, the hostess served a beautiful pink and green ice course.?Contributed. Havelock Dowling Recovering. ?.

The little fellow "has been carried home from the hospital, where a very delicate operation was performed, and his physicians say that if nothing unforeseen develops he will regain hjs full health and strength, although1 at the time it was considered his chances of recovery were about 1,000 to 1 against him. i The boy suffered a terrible crush of; the skull.

COMMENDS EDITORIAL. * News and Courier Compliments The Bamberg Herald's Stand. Reprinting an editorial from The ' ? * ?? ? J - c 4- A ? 4-^ tfamDerg neraiu ui recent uaa vm the evolution of farming in this county, the Charleston News and Courier says on its editorial page Friday: A Better Feeling. A day or so the News aid Courier reprinted from the Allendale County Citizen a very cheerful article reviewing courageously ana optimistically the recovery of Allendale county from the blow which it received when the cotton industry there was destroyed by the boll weevil. The Bamberg Herald in its current issue sounds the same note with respect to conditions in Bamberg. The Bamberg Herald is not given to whistling simply to keep its courage up. One of the most intelligently edited county newspapers in the country, it is given to facing facts and dealing with the situation as it exists. The better feeling which it reports in Bamberg has been noticeable, we believe, throughout the low country. It is in evidence also in South Georgia. They have received a blow in that boll weevil infested section also and their view % is that conditions there "have been worse than in any [ other place in the south," but according to the AmeAcus Times-Recorder "recovery "here has set in on a scale that is remarkable," and peoA - t 31 ^ pie are, in tne language or a neaaime writer on the Columbus EnquirerSun, "coming out of the storm cellar." The Americus newspaper puts the case well when it says: "Prosperity may not be here on a great scale, but good times are arriving for the hustlers." There will be no good times soon for anybody else, but a'fter all, are the other people really entitled to good times? Bank Reference Friday. A reference will be held before a special referee at the court house Friday in the matter of Joe E. Bishop, et al., vs. t'he Farmers and Merchants Bank, et al. This is the first move'in this suit, which involves the conduct of the affairs of the Farmers and Merchants Bank, of Ehrhardt, which for the past year or so has been closed and is now in the hands' of receivers. Edward S. Croft, Esq., of the Aiken bar, has been appointed by the courxt special referee to take the testimony in this case, which will probably be of far reaching consequences, involving many delicate points of law and concerning a large portion of the population of Ehrhardt and community. A legal notice to depositors and others interested in this matter appears in another place of this paper. Something Totally Different. Suspicious Mistress ? "Jessie, didn't I hear you talking with somebody?" Cook?"Yessum, reckon so." , Mistress?"Haven't I told you repeatedly, Jessie, that you must never have any of your gentlemen friends call here?" Cook?"Hee, fcee, missus. How he will laf when he hears dat!

'< T T? T^np is nnp nf Rambere's < new farmers this year, and has brought with him new ideas as to the j conduct of the farm. Realizing that ( cotton is a crop no man may reasonably expect to make profit on, he is j not depending on it. Among the ; new ventures, he has planted three j acres in string beans for market, and two acres in Irish potatoes. The i beans and potatoes are growing nice- < ly, and bid fair to make fine crops. . Marketing conditions bn these crops { is not yet known, but it is known < that Bamberg grown string beans are about the finest in the country. It is certain that Florida beans cannot stand in competition with the local product, and Mr. Lane feels confident ] that once he places his beans on sale < there will be no trouble in dispos- ] ing of them at better prices than the i .Florida growers receive, as there is no comparison in the flavor and crispness of the two products. This sec- j tion is especially favorable for growing Irish potatoes, which is a staple ? crop and there is usually a good demand for them. Paul Arndt Returns Home from Germany The following from the Orangeburg Times and Democrat will be read with with interest in Bamberg. Mr. Lrndt and Miss Arndt are former residents of Bamberg, having moved to Orangeburg a few years ago. Mr. Arndt was formerly a jeweler in this city. Paul Arndt and his daughter, Miss Bertha Arndt, arrived in the city Friday morning after a trip of three months to Germany. They embarked at Hamburg. Germany, for the return trip and landed at New York Monday. Twelve days were consumed in the return trip, 10 of which were spent on the high seas. They returned on Che United States ship Mount Clay, which was formerly the Prince Eitel Frederick, of the German navy, and which sank a number of allied ships during the World war. Mr. Arndt ana ms aaugmer iert their home in this city on January 12, last,-for their trip to Gernfany. They express great pleasure at being back at home, although, they say, the sojourn in the old country was quite pleasant. A visit was made to the old home of Mr. Arndt at Landsburg, about 18 miles from Berlin. There they renewed acquaintances with relatives and old friends. A period of eight days 1 was spent there during a railroad strike, states Mr. Arndt, when everything was tied up for a while. Many oth^r points in Germany were visited. While traveling around Mr. Arndt made note of conditions existing in Germany. He states that everybody there is working hard, taking care of themselves and are working for rehabilitation Tyith the end in view of getting everything back to normal, such an end apparently being not far off. Factories are running day and night and business is good, with the >usiness people paying close attention to their business and. using aU efforts to safeguard the business of their country, mainly endeavoring to see to it that, from the standpoint of export and import, the people of that country are assured, as far as possible, the full benefit of the use of raw materials and the essentials of life and those things necessary for the restoration of normal conditions. Mr. Arndt was smoking a cigar while talking with the representative of The Times and Democrat, Friday morning and in answer to the question as to prices of commodities in Germany, he pointed to the cigar and said: "This is a good cigar and was bought by me at the rate of 45 cents a hundred." He stated that hotel rates, and prices of commodities, as rule, are exceptionally low as compared to prices in the United States. The trip across and return may be made for about $200 for third class passage, he stated, many persons going by third class which, in many instances, is good enough for anybody. Little concern is shown about affairs outside of Germany, Mr. Arndt states, such as the recent disarmament conference, the Genoa meeting md such like, the people being engrossed in attending to home affairs. \s to reparations, Mr. Arndt says the German people appear to feel that 'if we have the money/when it is due eve will pay it; if we do not have it eve can't pay it," and in the mean ima. thov are n-nrkiii??ever work , I IU ^ IUVJ UA V ?? W ng. At present, the returned citizen states, there is not much effort to do business outside of Germany, but the people^re trying to prevent the exporting of the things needed at home. Mr. Arndt exhibited an attractive ittle cigar lighter and told an interesting story. He said that the German government some time ago placed a heavy tax on matches as many fvere used and this would bring in nuch money, so the people, famed :or ingenuity and invention, immediitely proceeded to make and use the igar lighter, as he exhibited, not only for lighting cigars and cigarettes, aut for kindling fires of all kinds, ;hus "putting one over" on the government. Mr. Arndt says there is strong opposition to the present government and a complete overthrow appears probable soon. Mr. Arndt states that no difficulty ? ~ ot c>;Hi or t h p nr?rt of was CAJJCl icm-tu u. <* vibus.. ~ r embarkation or debarkaion going ind returning, conditions as to travel ipparently having gotten back practically to normal. Made Same Sound. Some time ago in Life there appeared the picture of a New York child sojourning in the country on a fresh-air excursion. He is pointing to a tree on which a bird is singing. "Oh, look at the boyd!" he said. "That's a bird not a boyd," the teacher tells him. "Well," the fresh-air youngster jays, "it makes a noise like a boyd." Renew your subscription today. Tobacco Growers to Meet Here Tuesday A meeting of great importance to the tobacco growers of Bamberg, Colleton, Hampton, Jasper, Allendale, Barnwell, Aiken, Edgefield, Orangeburg, and Dorchester counties will be held at the court house in Bamberg on Tuesday morning. April 25, beginning at 11 o'clock a. m. The meeting will be held under the auspices of the Bamberg County Cooperative Tobacco Growers association for the purpose of presenting the cooperative plan of marketing tobacco, and no grower of tobacco should fail to be present, as a majority of the tobacco warehouses of South Carolina have entered into the cooperative marketing plan, and 'the planters should thoroughly inform themselves before placing their product on the market. T 13 Vrtiinor onH W "Fb T,#*a. oi X. JLJ X U ff * ? - ? J Florence, representatives of the TriState association, will be present anc make addresses and answer any ininquiries. E. L. Ring, tobacco experl of the Southern railway, will also be present and make an address on the best methods of growing tobacco. Inasmuch as very little tobaccc will be sold this season by the usua! method of auctioning off to the highest bidder, but will be sold througt the marketing association, it is of th< utmost ' importance that tobaccc growers should inform themselves The marketing association has established connection with the bambers tobacco market, and arrangements will be made to take care of all the product brought to this place during the selling season. * LODGES WANT HOME. Denmark Fraternities Make Move tc Erect Lodge Building. The three fraternal lodges of the good town of Denmark have made s definite move looking towrac the erection of a jointly ownec lodge buliding. A few days ago the Denmark lodges of the Knights 0 Pythias, Masons and Woodmen of the World met around the banquet table at which time the matter of erecting a joint hame was discussed. Great enthusiasm abounded, and a com mittee was selected representing the various lodges to work out the details of the proposed fraternal home. This committee now has the matter ir charge. They are seeking informa tion, and will at an early date present the matter in concrete form tc the fraternities for further action. The Denmark lodges have in hanc a considerable fund which may b? used in the erection of a building for a lodge hall. Not a great deal more money will be required, and i1 is believed that there will be found no difficulty in financing the proposition. Another Boll Weevil Story. "Doctor" W. H. Chandler, of Watkins fame, is authority for the story that cotton boll weevils were recently found in this county in numerous quantities under the bark of pine sapling poles which he personally examined. "Dock" Chandler had read in The Herald about weevils being found in china berries at Timmonsville, and was determined that Bam berg county should equal any other section, even if it were not such very good news. Mr. Chandler avers it is the plain truth, though, and says he stands ready to prove it to any doubting Thomas hereabouts. On examining the poles, Mr. Chandler says he found boll weevils as numerous as woodliee, all nicely ensconced for the winter in as snug a bed as could be desired. Snows and freezes would never have killed them, he believes. It is only fair to say, however, that the genial "doctor," who is a mighty fine fellow, has had many years of experience in selling "the best patent medicine in the world."
