A few years ago it was a rare thing
for a white man to ever approach the
death house at the state penitentiary.
There are now a half dozen or more
white men awaiting electrocution at
the penitentiary.
Anybody who thinks there will not
be a generous crop of boll weevils
this year ought to have seen a batch
of the pests exhibited to The Herald
one day last week by J. E. Spann,
picked from a small patch of cotton
on his farm. There were something
like two hundred of them, gathered
1?~ - 1 3 oKmif tTur\ I
Dy coioreu ciiuuicu num auvu?. ?.*?v
acres, we believe. Tbey were in all
stages of existence, from the grub
to the full grown weevil, and they
were quite healthy specimens.
The law was thoroughly vindicated
in Columbia lastiweek when the
trail and conviction of the three alleged
murderers of young Arnette
were completed within ten days after
the commission of the crime. That
Is, the law was vindicated so far as
the circuit court is concerned. To our
mind this trial has created a more
i?Ani+>,TT fnr + v>o la-ar than anv
IOO|/VVV AV* ?
trial in this state in many years.
Technicalities were swept aside, and
*
the business of the court went forward
with dispatch.
The Yorkville Enquirer has no
congratulations to offer Governor
Cooper upon his appointment to the
. farm loan board. The Enquirer
says that it was purely a mercenary
? -i*--a it. in nnn oa.1o?.*t on/*
anair, max me ?xv,wv oaia: j, ouu
. ;
not patriotism, was the controlling
factor in the governor's acceptance
and resignation as governor, and
wonders why such a man was ever
elected to the governorship. The
Enquirer further says that the job
did not come to the governor unsought;
that he went after it and
landed it.
There are some who still persist in
the belief that there is nothing in
truck growing, tobacco growing, etc.
While these men, well meaning no
doubt are bemoaning the loss of their
pet crop, cotton, the truck growers
are selling their produce and getting
real money for it?not as much as
they would like to get, to be sure,
nevertheless they are receiving cash
money with which to carry on their
farming operations, pay their bills
with, and buy necessaries for the
home and farm, and this is more than
the cotton mourners are getting. The
Herald knows whereof it speaks, for
it is getting a little of the truck
money in accounts due, subscription
renewals, advertising stimulation,
ote.
It Was Good.
"'Was that sleeping potion I recommended
you any good?" asked
Brown of his friend Jones.
"Good," replied Jones. "I should
say it was. Listen here! I took it as
you suggested, and went to sleep soon
, after retiring. Then a friend with his
head under his arm came along, and \
asked me if I wanted to buy his feet. I
I was bargaining with him when the
dragon on which I was riding slipped
' his skin, and left me floating in mid
air.
"While I was considering how I
should get*down, a bull with two
heads peered over the edge of a wall,
and said he would haul me up if I
would first climb up and fix a windlass
for him. So as I was sliding
down the mountain the conductoi
came in, and I asked him when the
.train would reach my station.
" 'We passed our station 200 years
ago,' he answered, calmly folding
the train up and slipping it in his
vest pocket. At this moment I woke
up and found that I had been asleep
ten minutes."

A colored couple stood once again
before the probation officer.

You, Sam, are much older than your
wife. It is a case of May married to
December.
A slight pause, and then Eva, the
wife, was heard, to remark in a tired
voice:
''I?I really doan' know what you
means by yer saying May is married
to December. If yer goin' to talk that
way, it seems to me to be a case of
Labor Day married to a Day of Rest."

Ehrhardt Memorial
Address
By W. D. Bennett.
The war could not have been avoided,
for the issue of slavery was destined
to disrupt the union and could
not have been settled in any other
j way than by the arbitrament of the
j sword unless perhaps the statesmen
! of both north and south had foreseen
the conflict 35 or 40 years before and
had shaped events so as to have forestalled
it. The north was much to
blame for its precipitation, for they
used slave labor as long as it was
! profitable and sold their slaves to the
J south and then began the agitation to
free them. That they should have
been freed, nobody with brains will
! now deny, but had it not been for
the fanaticism of the abolitionists at
the north of the Charles Summer
and Thad Stevens type and the hotI
headed secessionists of our own section,
a settlement might have been
made ^ipon a basis that would have*
been fair to our slave holders and
satisfactory to all interests concerned.
This whole bloody tragedy was the
lack of understanding, partly the
fault of slow transportation; we
had few railroads, which retarded
communication and the intermingling
of the people of these two great sec*
tions of our country. Then, too, God
is all-wise and punishes sin?the
curse and sin of slavery must be and
was atoned for by tne sneaamg 01
rivers of blood, and yet more rivers
of tears and having passed througn
the fiery ordeal we have emerged a
far greater and .more glorious people
than ever before.
The flower of southern manhood
shed their blood upon the hills of
Virginia and the plains of the west,
and for what? It was patriotism,
love of home and country, for Yankee
soldiers had set their invading
feet upon southern soil and had killed
southern men and ravished southern
women, and we fought to expel
their vandal hordes. Never in
history has greater luster been shed
upon any cause man we see ui tuc|
deeds and valor of our soldiers and
the great genius of Lee and Jackson
and Johnston. We turn the pages of
history hut find the equal of these
matchless men nowhere recorded,
save possibly in the life of the little
Corsican, Napoleon Bonaparte, the
fomenter and central figure of the
French revolution. In my opinion he
was the greatest military genius the
world has ever known. Lee and
Jackson were in his class. These
great and good men, skilled in the
art of war, backed up by the best soldiers
that ever answered a country's
call, lost and why? For the same rea
son that Napoleon lost the battle or
Waterloo to Wellington, Lee lost the
battle of Gettysburg to Meade, a man
of mediocre talent, IMvine ordination.
| In all history there is nothing so
I grand as the charge of that immortal
and glorious divison of Pickett's men
at Gettysburg, but those brave men
were mowed down by Meade's cannon
like wheat under the blade of the
; scythe.
All this lends glory to the cause
and will be an inspiration to the
present and to all future generations.
For the deeds of bravery and daring
the southern soldier stands without
a peer?and is entitled to all the
veneration, homage, and respect that
we can pay to his memory by eulogy
and by heaping flowers on his grave
by loving and tender hands. He deserves
and has the plaudits of a grateful
country for whom he showed such
a full measure of devotion; he may
have been misguided, but a more daring
and courageous soldier the world
has never seen; he did the full measure
of his duty as he saw it and has

fight and lost as might have been e?
pected, for slavery was the cornei
stone of the southern Confederac
which sought to perpetuate an inst

It is well for us to get the lessor
taught by Grant's red-throated car
non around Richmond and Peters
burg and shed our Sunday clothe
and don overalls and grapple lik
men with the problems before ui
for it is alone by honest labor an
earnest endeavor that a people ca
ever become truly great. We hav
been too much wont to look dow
from Empyrean heights and exclaii
to common humanity that there ar
none others like us beneath the sui
and with turgid talk swell up wit
the vanity and pomposity of the pes
cock. The curse of slavery was ou
greatest weakness, and the war di
us good in one other way, for it tor
the fetters of caste and custom froi
the whites which was an evil as grea
as slavery itself. This was a noble
emancipation than the one by whic
Lincoln removed the fetters from tn
wrists of southern negroes. Lincol
by this proclamation freed almos
one-half of our. population but th
result that flowed out of this blood
conflict freed more of our white pec
pie than Lincoln freed of negroes.
In this mad tempest of battle th
new south?now no longer In sece:

glorious union and ;loyal to the cor

From the ashes of desolate home

Lincoln's proclamation was a rail
bow of promise that never agaii
while the world stands or the heai

meet in battle shock?the greatnes
of one section shall become the con
mon heritage of the other. That w
should have suffered the pains of r<
construction was to have been e:
pected; in many cases unnecessary
severe; partly due to the fact thj
the north misunderstood us and ou
blacks, even as we persist in misui
derstanding many of the well meai
ing "Yankees."

NOTICE CONCERNING FLOWING
IN PUBLIC ROOADS.
Pursuant to recommendation of
the Bamberg County Grand Jury, the
landowners of the county cultivating
lands adjacent and adjoining publio
roads are hereby urgently requested
not to plow into or allow their hands
to plow into the roads. Landowner*
are requested to plant two or three
rows of crops adjacent to roads parallel
with the road, so that there may
be proper turning space without the
necessity of turning plows in the
roads. It is against the law to al
low plows to damage the roads*
and it is an unnecessary practice.
The county spends large sums
of money in road building, and the
Tnada hpione to the Deople. I have >
no desire to prosecute anybody, but
I must insist tbat this practice be
stopped immediately. The farmers
and tenants can cooperate in this respect,
and there should be no necessity
to bring action against anybody.
Pull notice is being given before I
take such action.
