?? Wbt JBamberg iieraib 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. Volume 31. Thursday, August 3, 1922. What sort of a Democrat is a "Jefi ferson Democrat who rejoices at the election of Harding?" New brand of . Democracy to us. \ Let all those who rejoiced, secretly or openly, when Harding was elected and now have had time to repent of their folly, make a substantial confession by securing at once a registration certificate, and making a firm resolve to vote in the general election. _ And let every woman who has enrolled on the Democratic club rolls likewise get a registration certificate, as well as all those women who ought to have enrolled to vote in the primaries and who failed to do so. The Herald was not enthusiastic about Wilson G. Harvey becoming governor of ^ South Carolina, but every man is due air the cre.dit he deserves. The Herald does not mind saving now that it considers Gover nor Harvey one of the best executives this state has had in a long time. The state has had only a few weeks of.his administration, and the governor has conducted himself during these weeks in a manner such as to command respect and admiration. He has every .appearance of being a man with an eye single to filling the high office he occupies in a manner thaf will cause his name to go down in history as being qualified to be governor of this great state. Governor Harvey is handling law enforce mont -with a firm hand, and be de serves the moral support of the peox pie in his efforts to better conditions in this state. mm ,a, M The United States government has ?" ** ~ placed the magnificent sum of $87,(100,000 at the disposal of the marketing agencies of the cotton and tobacco crops of the south." South Carolina is alloted ten million dollars for the orderly marketing of cotton, and several million dollars for the orderly marketing of tobacco. Cooperative selling is on trial this year, and if there is a failure no blame can be attached to the federal government. The gravest danger to the programme of cooperative selling ami ho utfo think in efforts to break rw a&jl uvy ?? v ?? . y # tie backbone of the organization this year. That vast efforts will be made in this direction seems certain, and a very serious mistake will be made if the people make a stampede and forsake the associations right at the time when the first decisive stand in the history of farming has been taken in their behalf. t The importance of all Democrats registering for the general election cannot be over-emphasized. That a vigorous effort will be made by the Republicans to make a snowing tnis year is a foregone conclusion, and the extent of this effort may be a surprise to the Democrats of this state. Under the new rules of the Republican party if a better showing is not made in this state than heretofore, the representation in the Re. % ' publican national convention will be cut down, and yoff may be sure that the Republicans do not intend to sit down and allow that to result through s> any inactivity on~their part. We do not need any Republicanism in South Carolina, and if every Democrat in the state will register and vote in November any efforts of the Republican party in this state will be snowed under so far that there will not likely be any concerted action in this direction in some time to come' There will be no large crop of cotton in Bamberg county. There is no i hope for a large crop for some years to come. Eventually, perhaps, folks may learn how to grow cotton in spite of the boll weevil. In fact, we think they will, but not yet. However, things are not near as bad in Bamberg county as they might be, and are not near as bad as in many other sections of South Carolina. From reports we have heard of. other sections, we are inclined to believe that all crops here are equally as good as, if not better than, in other portions of the state. While there have been torrents of rain here, there has been still more rain in some other sections. This condition' seems to prevail throughout practically all of the cotton belt. There does not seem to be much danger of a big crop of cotton anywhere this year, and practically no v danger of a low price, even though a big crop is made. A half crop this year will bring as much money as a full crop in ordinary years. We need a spirit of optimism among our people. > > The Herald has not joined in the criticism of the city council of Bamberg for the conditions that obtain here. At the same time, The Herald realizes that it is quite useless to attempt to say that conditions in Bamberg as regards inhibition violations are not serious, for they are. Drunkenness is rampant here, and there could not possibly be drunkenness unless somebody is selling liquor, and nobody could sell liquor unless liquor is manufactured by somebody. Whether this liquor is made in Bamberg, The Herald cannot say. The Herald will say further, that this condition is one that the council is finding very difficult to cope with/ It is very easy to say that so and so ought to be done, but the doing of it is another matter. Neither does The Herald believe that every man - ' ' A v ought to constitute niinseu a nquui defective or policeman to ferret out and arrest violators. The law-abiding people of the town and county ought to back the officers in every move they make to enforce all laws, and we believe they will, but the fact remains that it is the duty of the officers to take the initiative. That is what they are elected for. The Herald believes that the time has come for a clean-up of Bamberg and Bamberg county. This can be accomplished, we are satisfied, if the matter is taken up with Governor Harvey, who has no political axe to grind. He goes out of office in January and he is not a candidate. Other counties in this state are being cleaned out, and we trust that manyweeks will not pass before a roundup is made in Bamberg and Bamberg county. Conditions are growing worse all the time. Everybody knows plenty of liquor is being made and sold in this county. It is time \ for the town and county authorities to get together on a concerted campaign. Lookmg Yourself Over. (Bey Edna Kent Forbes.) * * * ~ A. * r\ limo it is necessary irum nine w to repeat advice that I am sure my old readers are tired of hearing; that is the advice to look yourself over thoroughly from time to time, critically, so that you will not fall into careless ways. Have as many mirrors in your room as you wish, or as you can afford. Mirrors make a room seem larger and makes it brighter by reflecting the light. They should be fixed, of possible, to show you yourself from different angles. You should have a mirror to y show you how you look in back.' It need not be a full -length mirror, which is much more expensive. It need only be half the length of your figure, but if it is placed high enough from the floor so you can see your eyes in it you will also be able to see your whole figure to your feet. If possible it should be hung so it reflects youh back while you are before the mirror of your dressing table. In this way you are constantly seeing yourself from all sides as you dres? and without any extra time or trouble you will fix your hair and your frock so it looks as well from the back as from the front. The matter of how you look In back is an extremely important one. A woman whose waist and skirt show a white gap between them presents a ridiculous appearance. The woman whose (foliar is constantly untidy where it fastens behind will certainly never be considered good looking or well dressed. The best 'figure in the world will lose its grace if it wears a skirt that either sags or hikes in the back. The matter of hair dressing is still more important. Most women who have any sense about dressing at all will do their hair becomingly about the face, but few dress it well in back. Limberneck Becoming More Serious. Frequent inquiries being received by the poultry departments of colleges of agriculture indicate that limberneck already is causing the death of many growing chicks and hens. The trouble, which increases as the weather becomes warmer, is quite common each year among 1 farm Hocks, pouitrymen say. Limberneck, which is a symptom, rather than a disease, is a paralysis of the muscles in the neck of- the 'birds which often results from eating decayed flesh. It is a form of poisoning that also may be caused by eating arsenate of lead and other poisons found on the 'farm. Xo cure is known for the trouble, the chief control of it being prevention. Special care should be taken to see that all dead chicks and animals are buried deeply or burned to prevent the spread of the troub'e, tuo poultrymen say. Muriel McCormick, granddaughter of John D. Rockefeller, has formed a partnership with Mme. Marguerite, a modiste, and they will open a dressmaking establishment in Chicago. What Do You Know? To some of those who happen t glance at these brief paragraphs, i may come as a bit of surprise to b told that, of all that any one of u knows, which has not been ab^orbe from some source outside o? oui selves; which we have not read somt where; which we h^ye not learne from observation of affairs going o about us, were written on the bac of an old envelope, th^re would b plenty of room for the Declaration c Independence. The things we know; the thing we expect are so; ana me uungs w guess at are of very different va] ues each from the other; and, intel ligent people, who try to keep thes things in mind, will save their neigh bors and themselves a lot of trouble When the public distinctly under stands that, not fictious, mental hal lucinations, figments of the imagir ation, fancies, dreams, rumors, heai says and gossip will not be consid ered as good evidence in a Beaufor court, nor anywhere else, perhap the few'grains of actual truth whio are the only things worth while, wi] be easily gotten at. v Lie, if you must, but be carefu where you do it, and. who hears yoi Monopoly.
