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.

CARLISLE DOWNS ORANGEBURG.
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.
