fE%t Bamberg ^eralb 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. 23. Thursday, June 8, 1922. The Columbia State, quoting The Bamberg Herald, says that Bamberg county will spend $20,000 on improving the highway from Bamberg to Branchville. The Herald should ihavA hppn a little more exDlicit. per haps, and supplemented the information that this loan of $20,000 to Bamberg county will cover only one-half the cost of this improvement. The ,N federal government matches Bamberg county dollar for dollar, and will therefore, put up another $20,000 for this work. The highway j from Bamberg to Branchville will be one of the finest roads in the state. 4T do not intend to make any explanation of my pardon record or the WW7: Tecent pardons which have .aroused! criticism'in some" quarters," former! ?.?

Bright Young Woman Views Recent Meeting From Feminine Angle. (The following article was written for the Laurens Advertiser by Miss Kate V. Wofford, one of the delegates from Laurens county to the recent state Democratic convention.) "It seems a little presumptuous for me to head my article .with such a sweeping title as the above, but since I have returned from Columbia, the women and the part they played in the convention has been the question most frequently asked of me. "Well, well," say my good friends.! "Back from Columbia?" "How's the convention?" "Fine as a fiddle," say I. "What's up?" "Yeah, I know. But the women?" ".r'arm dioc was up iou ? "Oh, sure! But tell me. How did the women behave?" The women! So that was it! People wanted to know just about our new citizens, whether they overran the convention, whether they kept silen? as admonished by the good Saint Paul, whether they had bobbed hair and surreptiously indulged in chewing gum or sat peering behind scholary spectacles and talked of the unknown quantity in politics. The soldier's bonus and the farm bloc were interesting but colild wait?to women now! Whereupon my enquirer and I casually sat ourselves down then and there and talked about this new feminine element which has come silently but surely in the political life of our state and nation. But let me state at the beginning. vvnen tne announcement came num the county convention that I had been seleected a delegate lor the state convention my mind flew back to the expressed wish of my mother that she might some day participate in the politics ol her state. "Aunt Kate," how she would have arisen to days like these! She was the first suffragist I ever knew and the finest. Her home and personal life was a direct contradiction to all the pitfalls predicted by those nbt in sympathy with the participation of women in public life and had she been living toaay sue would have had my place at the convention and filled it better than I could ever hope to do. It, therefore, seemed to me, as we set our faces toward Columbia on Tuesday morning, that tunseen delegates?my mother and the other women who dared to back woman suffrage in its unpopularity, sat beside us, delegates repre^ sentative of the honesty, of the earnestness and purity of purpose that women everywhere are bringing with them into their new duties of suffrage. Two other women, representing the fine type of womanhood of Laurens county, Mrs. R. L. Gray and Mrs. Alvin Curry, of Gray Court, and our genial representative Mr. Carol Nance, of Cross Hill, our automobile host, and a fine one, made up the party. It was the complaint of the women of one delegation that their men had done all in their power to make tnem uncomfortable, and it was with great complacency that I comforted her and invited her to move up to Laurens county where the men gave us square deals! Mr. Nance did everything in his power, as did other delegates, Dr. Douglas, Dr. Miller and Gov. Cooper, to make our debut into politics easy, 5ven going the second mile to see that the two committee places ,of this county were given to women, the places on the rules committee going to Miss Kate V. Wofford, and the one on platform to Miss Will Lou Gray. The opening hour of the convention to the surprise of everyone, including the weather man, broke bright and clear, a happy omen of the frond democratic fellowship to follow. Arriving at the capitol and the convention hall, I found it already comfortably full, and the air buzzing with the pleasant hum of political bees in the different bonnets scattered over the hall. Placards with the names of ;he different counties studded the hall and underneath these placards sat the delegates?the men and the women! Thirty-five of the latter, and not a bobbed head of hair among them! Intelligent looking, intelligent thinking, and intelligent talking, they were marked, though candor make some confess that comparatively little talking was done by the women which may or may not give you dear reader, food for thought! The atti tude of the women of the convention was one of frankly wanting to learn, of our announcement of ignorance of things political, but an overwhelming eagerness to be informed and tried and declared worthy. A woman from Marion Miss Nellie Ellerbe. was elected one of the secretaries, and sat on the platform during the meeting. Following the good suggestions of the Greenville Piedmont, and the suggestions of the many Laurens friends. Miss Wil Lou Gray was nominated by the Laurens delegation for temporary chairman, and would have been elected had she not withdrawn her name on the ground that she was too much of a novice at pre Joseph W. Tolbert For U. S. Marshal Washington, June 6.?Joseph W. Tolbert, Republican national committeeman and state chairman for South Carolina, -was today nominated by President Harding to be United State marshal for the western federal district of South Carolina to succeed C. J. Lyon, the Democratic incumbent. The nomination of J. W. Tolbert suddenly followed the decision of the president not to send to the senate the nomination of R. R. Tolbert, of Abbeville, brother of the national committeeman for the marshalship after having R. R. Tolbert under serious consideration for a number of weeks. The white house evidently decided that confirmation would be too difficult. Senators Smith and Dial caiH thic aftomnnn that thpv harl nnt ??**?* ?.WW J decided what they would do with regard to the Tolbert nomination, but they had asked the judiciary committee to withhold action on it for a while. t; . At the same time the president was sending the nomination of Committeeman Tolbert to the senate, the senate committee on postoffices was taking upfavorable action on the nomination of B. J. Mixson to be postmaster at Orangeburg. Mr. Hixson has been understood to be the personal representative of Tolbert in that section and has been acting as postmaster for some time. When Mr. Mixson was nominated for postmaster, Senator Dial opposed the nomination and charged before the postoffice commit tee that Mixson had on two separate occasions conveyed to Miss Singletary the Democratic holdover postmaster at Bowman, the suggestion that if she would pay him a sum of money he would see that she kept her office. Two postoffice inspectors reported that the facts were as Senator Dial had stated and the committee today voted to recommend the rejection of the Mixson nomination. In the civil service examination which was held for the Orangeburg postmastership, Dr. A. C. Ligon, for seven years the Democratic postmaster, was No. 1 on the list certified and A. D. Webster, for seventeen years the ^Republican predecessor of Dr. Ligon as postmaster, was No. 2. Mixson was third. Whether there will be another civil service examination for the^office or it will be filled from -the present eligible list is not known. - * Baptist W. M. S.

Two women, Miss Katherine Mulligan, of Spartanburg, and Mrs. M. T. Coleman, of Abbeville, were elected vice-presidents, and fifteen other women served on committees. All the work done by women was done gracefully and well. But it is understood that the real constructivte work of the convention jwas done by the men composing its 'body. They were the ones who directed its thinking, who guided the principles of our great party and who ' ^ XI - 1 X - XL ^ very patienuy sei memseives iu cue task of teaching the women the ins and outs of a political convention. They were ever courteous, tactful and eager to 'help. Women will not forget the help the men of the state gave them in the Democratic convention of May, 1922. Also be it understood that while we held our peace we learned a great deal like: "A wise old owl sat in an oak, The more he heard the less he spoke, The less he spoke the more he heard, Why are we not like this bird?" The women in the convention played the wise old owl, said little and consequently heard much, but it was the eeneral opinion that they behaved wisely and that the next ocnvention will find them better able to carry their part of the Democratic troubles and joys. "The questions most discussed," I continued, "Were the soldier bonus, education, the farm bloc, and?" "Oh, yes, sure! But you know, I think that's pretty good about the lady getting up and announcing that after a long discussion that they had churned a long time not to get any butter. What do you think?" Here I usually left my good friend hurriedly with the injunction to read the daily papers. It seems from the reports in these dailies that reporters were very much interested in us too! ALMS HOUSE HEAD IS SHOT TO DEATHColumbia, May 28.?The Rev. Vincent Davis, superintendent of the Richland county alms house, was shot to death there early this morning the county authorities charge by James Watts Crocker, an inmate for the past I seven months. Two shots were fired, j the second one piercing the heart of j Mr. Davis, causing instant death. The authorities attribute the cause to the request of Mr. Davis, made of Mrs. Crocker, also an inmate, Friday to assist in the kitchen, as the regular cook had quit, to which Crocker is said to have taken umbrage. According to Sheriff Heise, interpreting versions of the tragedy from three eyewitnesses, the cook and two inmates, Mr. Davis went to the cabin occupied by the Crocker couple this ] morning about 8 o'clock with smok-1 ing tobacco for Crocker. Crocker, it is said,' opened the door, pulled a revolver and fired two shots, the second of which entered the heart of Mr. Davis, who staggered about fortyfive feet and sank to the ground deac Sheriff Heise stated that Mrs. Crocker said she was not present at the time of the killing but that her husband admitted when she came the house, that he had killed Mr. Davis. Sheriff Heise and Rural Police Chief Dunaway were notified of the tragedy and. reached the alms house together. They were warned that Crocker might try. to do them violence. They saw Crocker sitting in the window with a revolver in his hand, said Sheriff Heise, but when they commanded him to come out he did-so, leaving the revolver on the table in the cabin. The revolver, said Sheriff Heise, was a 32-caliber Smith & Wesson and had a full round of charged shells in it when found. The sheriff's sup position is that it was reloaded after the two shots were fired. The Rev. Vincent Davis was a retired minister of the Methodist Episcopal church and was one of the best known men of Richland county, where he has lived practically all of his life. He was noted for his philanthropic attitude and he took the superintendency of the alms house because he thought he could be of real benefit to the charity charges of the: county. He is survived by Claud N. | Davis, real estate dealer; Frank N. j Davis, clothing merchant; Lawrence! J Davis, advertising manager of the j Columbia Record, and Henry D. Davis, a traveling man, his sons all residents of Columbia. CARD OP THANKS.
