3Pbe$tomberg?eraKi ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. Published Weekly at Bamberg, S. C. Entered as second-class matter April 1891, under Act of March 3, 1879. $2.00 PER YEAR. Volume 31. No. 17. Thursday, April 27, 1922. The long predicted and not unwelcome?to many admirers of the tormer president?break between Mr. Wilson and Mr. Tumulty has arrived. Mr. Tumulty, private secre/ tary to Mr. Wilson during his incumbency, undertook to act as spokesman for the ex-president at a recent banquet in New York, delivering a message purported to be from Mr. ' WilsoA. Mr. Wilson promptly repudiated the message and denied having ^authorized Mr. Tumulty or any else a- ? ? i, him Manr 'Via VP fplfc IU OpCttA lUi mux. v ^ _ that Mr. Wilson was not discreet in the selection of his personal confidant, and recent events have not ' tended to alter their opinion. In another column today The Herald prints some statistics gathered 1 t>y Prof. William Oee, of the University of South Carolina, pertaining to homicides in South Carolina. The statistics and the accompanying comment are of especial interest to the -citizens of Bamberg county for the reason that Bamberg county shows the highest percentage of homicides of any county in this state, the total ? ? * ratd OeiDg Id ZlUUllUUCS, auu buv iww per 100,000 population being 62. We have not investigated the homicide record for Bamberg county, hut presume that the figures are cor' rect. Our nearest Competitor for homicide honors is MoCormick county, with six homicides and a rate of 36.5 per 100,0-00 population. The state rate per 100,000 \ population is 14.7. Thus, Bamberg county has the unenviable record, ' according to these figures, of more than quadrupling the average homicide record of South Carolina at large, and of almost doubling our nearest competitor. This is a condition that calls for very earnest thought. We can ascribe no local condition that can account for such enormous figures above the average ' record, neither can we recall any combination of unusual circumstancC . es that should 'have made last year eo notorious in the taking of human life as compared with other years. ^r?VkA fiornroo are anmrininfir: we feel U^Ui va v a r- ol - ? sure few people in this county dreamed that such was the case, but we are ' not prepared to dispute the figures. The Herald would very much prefer not to print this record of crime, hut we feel that the people are entitled to-know just what has happened. What can be done to reduce this wave of crime is a topic that should claim the attention of all thinking people. While there* are many roads in 1 Bamberg county that ought, to be built, there is a growing sentiment that with the completion of the road - to: Branchville and the bu iding of the Salkehatchie river bridge, there < should be a let-up in highway conin fKi'o rtniiTvtr Thoro will OU UVtXVIi JJJ bUiO VVUUVJ AMV* V *? . be two highways completely traversing the county when the Brancbville road is built. It is real ized that the maintenance of these roads presents a large problem, and if - this maintenance work is not carried on vigoroulsy ina few years the roads will go to decay and the huge sums of money expended thereon will have been lost. The Herald does not; oppose continuing road construction; it . wants to see every public road in : Bamberg county graded and surfaced, but everyone should realize that 'this is not possible now. The coun ty authorities deserve the thanks and congratulations of all for the splendid mapner in which this road construction has been financed. Although , thousands and thousands of dollars * * A Jis v nave ueen spent on uunumg rua.ua, there is no bonded indebtedness, and the future generations will not he called on to pay road debts. Under the financing system employed so far, every road in this county will be cleared of debt in short order. Only temporary loans on notes have been necessary. Bamberg county has such a fine record in regard to indebted-ness that no one wishes to see the county bonded as long as it can get along without it. As soon as all temporary loans are repaid, The Herald hopes to see road work pushed right on, provided the necessary arrangements can be made to carry on the proper maintenance work at the same time. We have no doubt in a couple of years or so this will be possible. Other roads are needed in the county and must be built; but we think it best to build no more highways until the county catches up. One of the new branches of stage work, that is not overcrowded and one of the best paid professions for omen is that of ballet dancing. \ . t Annual Memorial To Be Held Friday The annual memorial exercises of the Rivers Bridge Memorial association will be held tomorrow, April 28, at the memorial grounds.

Losers Stage Rally in Ninth Inning and Score Two Runs. Carlisle walked away with thej large end or a iu* 10 2 score m * rather slow game of base ball Monday afternoon at R'hoad park with the Orangeburg high school. Mosley for the visitors was benched in three' innings, but Miller went the rest of the game with only one run scored on 'him. ' The Orangeburg boys played a very poor game in the field and this was responsible for the large score. ' Jeffords and Miller did the best work for Orangeburg, while the all round playing of the entire Oarlisle team was above the average. Ward, Large and Sanders got two hits each. Thompson stole two bases. One of Sanders's swats went for three bases. Coach Gault worked his three pitchers for three innings each. Each allowed two bits. Orangeburg staged a rally :n ?ne ninth and made two runs. Two hits, two sacrifices and an error netted two runs. Orangeburg 2 6 2 Carlisle 10 9 2 Mosley, A. Miller and F.
