J Bigham has given notice of appeal . to the supreme court. Nobody can ] blame him. Anybody would save his ^ neck just as long as possible. In the , meantime however, justice is being delayed according to the Florence . jury that convicted him. Many . months have elapsed since the mur- < der of the whole family, and now j. many more months' will elapse be- ? fore the deaths of these people will j be avenged?if ever. , ? ? ] The loan of $30,000,000 to the co- ] operative tobacco marketing associa- ] tion assures the okeh of the United ^ States government. The war finance i corporation has certainly approved of ] the operation of this marketing agen- 1 cy through this mammoth loan. The i loan will put the association on a ' solid foundation, and if it does not < i succeed it will not be because of lack < of backing. The marketing asso- < ciation has accomplished wonders in ] Kentucky and Virginia, and with the 1 backing of the war finance corpora- < tion it should do equally as well in ] South Carolina. The producers of j tobacco may well expect great results ' from the operation of the association this year; and growers will do well { to support the maketing association in every way that it is possible for them to. ? < ? m In all of the cruelties of the Germans during the world war we cannot remember an instance that was more cruel than the murder of fortyodd workmen in the coal mines in , J Illinois last week. We read that ( the non-union workmen surrendered^ v, according to one of the injured, before a single man was hurt by the bullets of the mob; that the surrendered men were tied together in bunches, then made to run and were shot down as they tried to escape; ' .V ' V, \ . - ? that as one would be shot down and drag his fellows with him, the* bunch would be shot while they were /down. * 1 Others were burned when the mine ^ was fired. If this had happened in J South Carolina it would have been a ^ terrible thing?a lynching, but in Illinois it is a union disturbance. To ] add insult to injury, the grand jury % can\ot locate, it says, any guilty parties, except a mine superintendent, 1 who was killed himself. , ?, 1 \ There are some 150,000 newly en- , * l.!i. , irancniseu wiiine wumcu ?uicio m < South Carolina, and if these w.omen i can be induced to participate in the \ primary elections this year there is ] no telling what they might accomp- i lish. The Herald clearly believes it 1 to be the duty of the women to vote, / and they are reminded of the fact i that in order to cast their ballots on 1 August 29 it will be necessary that i they enroll their names on the Democratic club lists. The identity and 1 indifference of the women will oper- 1 ate to keep many of them away from 1 the polls, but it should not so operate. There are evils existing in South < Carolina and all over the land that '< we are absolutely certain the women 1 have it in their hands to correct at the ballot box, and as good citizens t it is not only their privilege but their i duty to vote for officers who will cor- f rect them. The Democratic club rolls will close on July 27th. . j Tobacco ought to be one of Bamberg county's most important crops. It has been clearly demonstrated that 1 this county can produce as fine tobacco as can be grown in South Caro- ] lina. Some folks who ought to knowr ] say that our tobacco^ is superior to that produced in some sections of this state. This bein? true, the county is Entitled to make of the tobacco grow-, ' ing industry an important business. The Herald is convinced that the greatest factor that should contribute toward the success of the industry \ here has been the organization of tne cooperative marketing system of selling this product. If this county can produce millions of pounds of tobacco, by putting the selling of the product on a business basis the county ought to realize a fine profit on the investment. That this is well-nigh impossible through the haphazard methods of selling heretofore pursued has been as clearly demonstrated as the fact that this county can produce tobacco. We are not pre* pared to say that it will not be well for the operation of independent warehouses to be continued, but we believe that tihe interests of the tobac co growers will be enhanced if a large majority of growers enter the association. The first year or two ought to determine whether it will be best for all growers to sell in the association. I A Negro liero. He was a seventeen-year-^ld negro dov. Probably he had little or no e education, no instruction as to what t qualities have made human deeds e ?reat, sometimes sublime. He was aear a small lake on Farr's farm t ibout four miles of Greenville when lie saw a little white child on the c nnint nf drowning. The negro lad g hid not know how to swim. It might u have ?een expected, then, that he would not himself attempt a rescue, y but the God who made him had implanted in his heart the will to serve I another human being in distress. So d be plunged into the water and managed to keep the white child's head above the water until help arrived. Succor came too late for the negro, y lowever. Another he saved, but himv self he could not save. His own. humanity cost him his life, which he (. sacrificed in a noble act of sublime s iaeroism. He thought not of himself, j aut of others. "Greater love hath no nan than this." He died that a little white child might live.

The Piedmont would like to see a / suitable monument erected over the t ?rave of this poor boy, who, in the = supreme and final moments of his S life, chose to be written 0own as one vho loved his fellowmen, who to the ;all of humanity answered so prompt- ^ [y and so fully, "Here am I." True 6 in this are the lines of Tennyson: ii 'Love took up the harp of Life, and 0 smote . On all the chords with might; Smote the chord of Self, that, tremb- a ling, ?
