?be Bamberg Heralb 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. 2 7. Thursday, July 6,1922. A typographical error in the editorial last week concerning the enrollment of women voters made one sentence read rather queer. It read: "The identity and indifference of the women will operate to keep many of them away from the polls." It should have read: "The timidity and indifference of the women," etc. Tobacco and cotton are two most important commercihl crops of Banfberg county. The fight is now on to put business methods into the selling of these crops. The proposition seems to be whether the farmer will let persons handle their crops who are responsible to the farmer or whether their crops will be handled by persons responsible to no one. There are some strong men in the race for governor this summer, and the voters will do well to go out to the court house this morning and hear them, as well as the.other candi i _r" dates. We believe voters will be in a more intelligent position to cast their ballots by doing so, as we are of the ? ;' opinion that some of the most able men in the campaign are men who have not heretofore been identified !with state politics, and who are, therefore, not so well known as some , others. > / Wjyi the past month of fine crop weather, folks are beginning to feel better over the prospects this fall. Tobacco is good, cotton prospects are much better than last year, the corn crop is fine in most sections, and other crops are somewhere near average. Cotton promises to bring a good price; in fact, we don't well see how the price can go down with the supply on hand disappearing so rapidly and not much in sight for ' the future. It is believed that a profitable price will be secured for tobacco. All in all, we feel our peo pie. have cause to feel grateful this year. J ?i I?I m John T. DDuncan is scoring an inning. For years and years his speeches were dignified with the ' words "John T. Duncan then spoke." Or, to alter the phraseology, "John T. Duncan also spoke." Now | % the correspondents are. giving v him the leadingparagraph, and tile headline writers are featuring him. As a matter of fact Mr. DuncaD has "been running for governor only a matter of some 20 or 30 years and who knows but that success may yet crown his efforts? And, if we mistake not, he has received as high as a thousand votes. About 100,000 - more will nominate him. A highway map recently sent out by the state highway commission shows the roads of the state com. pleted, under construction and con* templated through the assistance of federal aid. The map shows the Crtinmhia-Rflrannab hiehwav either VVAUMVAM > ?? w completed or under construction from Columbia to Fairfax, through Bamberg. All of this stretch of road has been completed with exception of a few miles here and there which are now being built. The map als<i shows the Charleston-Augusta highway either completed or under construction ;from Augusta to Branc'hville, through Bamberg, and from St. George to Charleston, leaving only the stretch from St. George to a little this, side of Brandhville yet to be provided for. Celebrates Sixty-first Birthday. Cope, July 3.?Friday evening John H. Cope, of Bamberg, -celebrated his sixty-first birthday by having a number of his friends to supper with him. The pleasant affair was held at the foome of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn W. Cope, just on the outskirts of town. A long table was laid under the large oaks in the yard, supper being served from 7:30 to 9 o'clock. Those present on this occasion were 1 the Rev. S. O. Cantey, A. M. Brabham and L. C. Smoak, of Bamberg; J. W. Smoak, of Orangeburg; Nea'i Smoak and son, of the lower, fork of Edisto; and S. B. Cope, W. D. Cope, F. E. Cope* Isaac Myers, Estes Smoak, Glenn Cope and R. K. Henerv, of Cope. The following ladies were also present and assisted Mrs. Glenn Cope in serving: Mrs. J. W. Smoak, of Orangeburg; Mrs. L. C. Smoak, of Bamberg, and Mrs. Frank E. Cope, of Cope. Mr. Cope was congratulated by all present and wished many happy returns of the day. Working girls in Moscow earn on an average of $5 for three months' labor. * WRITES SISTER OX DEATH'S EVE. Fox Says Bad Companions Carried Him to Electric Chair. C. 0. Fox, of Stanley, X. C., who with S. J. Kirby, formerly of York county, and Jesse Gappins, of Columbia, were electrocuted at the state penitentiary recently for the murder of William Brazell, Columbia transfer driver, wrote a long letter to his sister, Mrs. Lovie Norwood, of Stanley, X. C., under date of June 13. The letter which was published in the Charlotte Observer is as follows: "Columbia, S. C., June 1$. "Dear Sister: "i taKe greai pleasure in uruppmg you a few lines, something I may never do again. I received your dear, kind and welcome letter last night, and was glad to hear from you oncer more on earth, hut was sorry to learn of your being troubled oVer old hard luck me. Don't you worry about me. I'm feeling fine this a. m. I have had all kinds of trouble but if it be God's will my troubles will soon be over. Just a few days and I guess everybody in South Carolina will be happy. May God bless all my enemies and those in North Carolina, too. If nothing else will satisfy them but to kill me, why let them go ahead. I have not had justice in this old sinful earth, but there is a place -where the just is waiting to give me my - justice. Papa was down the 5th. I was sorry someone wanted a little more money. I thought that he had gotten fooled enough not to put out any more. I do not ask him to do anything for me. If it had been left to me none of you would have known that I was in trouble, but Kirby told the sheriff my name, and after that he told them I would not deny it. I had rather gone on and died and never told my name than for people to look down on you all. You said in your letter that you believed that I was led into what I did. Sister, you are right. I was not only led, but they told me lies to get me to say I would go with them. They were going to get the car off the street. They had all kinds of keys for ail kinds of cars, and Ood knows my hjeart I would not-tell a lie about it. If it had not been for them that boy would be living today, and I would not be here. I was always taught to stay out of bad company, anfl I did not do it. They did not work, and got me to believing that I did not have to work, and I was already troubled or I would never have agreed to go with them. Sister, if I was you I would not say anytnmg 10 Mary about me being brought home. If they come, all right, and if they don't come, all right. Do not ask them. If I had been treated right at home I would not be here today, but I am praying for them and all of my enemies. Sister, I would not say anything to our people in Catawba about my burial. "\It would be just a big show for people. You did not tell me if you( would take my body from the train to my grave or not. I guess I would be about all burnt up. I am ashamed to be brought home. If it wasn't for your sake I would not let them send me home, and I trust God will hold you up, sister. Don't you grieve and worry about me for I am going to a better world if it be God's will, I sing a lot of times. When I am dead don't you ' " T iVii'nlr rvf Vrtlt lriV gi\eve aner me. ? mmo. vjl only dear sister, and I sing, 'Sister will meet you there.' I know you will. Glory to God! Now, sister, promise me you won't grieve about me and ask God to give me faith till the last breath leaves my body. I wapt to be able to go out and get in the chair and laugh at them. You know they will all hare to die. I am not by myself. Well, I guess you are tired of reading this mess, so I { will not worry you any longer. "I may never write you again. May God bless you, dear heart, and cheer up. Goodbe, Goodbye. "From your happy brother, "C. O. FOX. "Columbia, June 1922." NOW 50-50 IN DEATH HOUSE. * - ^ 1 ^ M Three Whites ana same ^hhuht oi Blacks in Fatal Home. Columbia, June 29.?Occupants of the death house at the penitentiary are now on a 50-50 basis as to color, three white men and three negroes. The cells are occupied by Edmund D. Bigham, of Pamplico, Frank M. Jeffords and Ira Harrison, of Columbia, all white, and Bradford Boyd, of Richland county, EI Culbreth, of Saluda, and Otto Sullivan, of Greenville, all negroes. Richland county at present is holding the lion's share of the space in the death house, three occupants claiming this as their home. Some effort to stay the electrocution of Boyd is expected to be made. He is a young negro convicted last week of attempted criminal assault on a young white girl. An appeal to the supreme court is likely, it was j indicated yesterday. BUILI) PLANT ON EDISTO RIVERDenmark Folk Planning Hydro-Electric Project. Denmark, July 1.?A hydro-electric plant is to be built on the Edisto river about four miles from Denmark, which when completed will have a capacity of several hundred horsennu'or Tlio nroliminarv snrvors M Vi X iAV 1' * J UU1 T V,' "J have already been completed and the engineers are now working on the construction details. This plat is to be operated in connection with the steam driven power plant at Denmark and the capacity of the plant at Denmark is to be increased to 500 kilowatts by the installation of an additional 300 kilowatt unit, so as to take care of the present and future load uutil the water power plant is completed, and then the steam power plant will be used only in emergencies. J. B. Guess, Jr., capitalist and i farmer, who owns about 3,000 acres of land along the river, and R. A. Easterling, owner and manager of the local power plant, are promoting this project, though other local and out of town investors are interested.

Ward, July 3.?Grave diggers, while digging a grave at Dry Creek church yesterday, dug into a grave that seemed to have been dug in th'e wrong place and unearthed a skeleton, finding a rope around the neck with a knot in the rope under the right ear. The condition of the skeleton showed that it had apparently been buried some fifty years. Parts of the coffin remained and the plate with the words, "Rest in Peace," cculd easily be read. There seems to be some mystery concerning the identification of the body. The grave itself was where no grave was supposed to be, and the oldest inhabitant of the community knows nothing of any one who had been hanged being buried in the cemetery. .HAMBONE'S MEDITATIONS OLE CLOES SHINES 1 JES' El MUCH El NEW CLO'ES &OE5, CEPN HITS A MFFUNT LOOKIN^SHINE ' CQmgtt, 1921 nr McQu*a H*wtpt??r Syndicate Tin ciga^^ 10* They are GOOD!
