C., Aug. 26th, 1922 Many Women Vote J I In Primary Tuesday f For the first time in the history of 1 the Democratic party in South Caro- n > una, tne women participated in tne r primary Tuesday. The experience to s 3 the women was novel, and there was J b some little delay occasioned by their i - lack of being accustomed to the Aus- v 1 ralian ballot. There were 518 wo- i - ,men enrolled on the various Demo- t craiic club books of Bamberg coun- > j ty; the vote was, consequently, heav- a ; ier than ever before in thp history of p the county. ' ii ; Contrary to the belief of many, p [ the women readily took on to the t matter of voting. While natural modesty and timidity prevented some I ^ from enrolling at all, as a rule in the s towns the ladies rallied to the cause a [ of democracy handsomely. As yet b r only about a third of the women of v 4- "U ^ a*?wa11a/3 t a Trrvtn Hut f ^ iuo uuuutv aic cuiuucu iw ?u^, u t . it is likely after this election year c that they will enroll as freely as the s men. c In Bamberg there were between d ' five and six hundred voters enrolled ' ?men and women. Consequently the n matter of handling the voters requir- s ed more tact and harder wdrk on the c ' part of the managers than is usually p the case. Five booths had been pre- s ' pared for the voters, and thus five d persons were allowed to vote at one o " time. The rest had to 'take their > turns. The waiting line of Demo- 7 : crats, interspersed by the presence v of the fair ones, was long at times, e : It formed in the early morning and b L the line was unbroken until shortly n 1 before the Dolls closed. However, o 1 everybody secured the opportunit3 a of depositing his or her ballot, and k i none were deprived of the right of ' Democratic franchise Tuesday. g There was no disorder at the polls b - throughout the county so far as has i been reported. The presence of the t 1 women voters had a salutatary effect, a , and jnuch talk that is sometimes b i heard around the polls was absent b i Tuesday. In fact voting has become v pretty much as any other interesting ^ . event, so far as Bamberg county is b > concerned. . r l Keen interest was manifested in p ; the result of the primary, by both i men and women. A large crowd re- p , mained on the streets of Bamberg r until a late hour Tuesday night. t Bulletins from the Columbia State t and the News and Courier were re- v L ceived at intervals during the evening, telling of the count of votes for c r state officers. This service is greatly a rt? tllO TIQrt Plf fhPSP H t apyi cuaicu uu i,uv v ? . great newspapers. The Herald office t r was a sort of center of attraction, g many voters calling during the even- g . ing to ascertain how the wind was v blowing. The Herald was very glad n . to be of service to its friends, and in- e ; formation was dispensed as rapidly E , as it was received. a The second primary election will t; [ be held on Tuesday, September 11th. a , The same managers will officiate, and the same rules will apply.

Mr. Rhoad found that - sew York restaurants were chargng 35 cents for two peaches served vitb. cream. This prompted him to nvestigate the peach business a litle. Looking over a copy of the sew York World, Mr. Rhoad came .cross the following astounding disiatch from Columbus. N. J., which s located in the midst of a great each and apple producing terriory: "Columbus, N. J., Aug. 25.? Caches and apples for which conumers in New York paid $1.50 to $3 , basket a few days ago, have irought Burlington county farmers < rho grew them a net return from he commission men of as little as 1 1 ent a basket. Discouragement is weeping the fruit districts as scant hecks from wholesalers reach proucers. "The commission men claim the larkets are glutted. Farmers asert that if any glut exists, it is be* ause city dealers failed to reduce rices to the consumers, with the reult that there was not a sufficient emand for products at the height >f the season. ''One grower recently shipped 2,00 baskets of summer peaches of a ariety that usually bring high prics. His net return was 3 cents a asket. A Mount Holly orchardist etted $2.50 from a total shipment f 250 baskets of early peaches, and nearby farmer got $30 for 300 bas:ets of apples. "Potatoes have been selling in the ;reat potato belt at as low as $1 a arrel." It will be seen from this dispatch hat Bamberg truck growers are not .lone in their predicament. Pine Jew Jersey peaches and apples _neted the growers one cent a basket, fhile the ordinary sale price in New rork amounted to $1.50 to $3.00 a asket, and the consumers in restauants and hotels paying war time rices for a saucer of the fruit. It is to be borne in mind that this oint in New Jersey is located in 35 <' ailes of New York. It can't be said 1 hat transportation charges eat up '< he profit there. The fruit is coneyed, largely, by truck to New York. It is a serious situation that is onfronting the producers of apples nd peaches, as well as to the proucers of southern truck crops^ and here is no guessing where we are oing to get off at. The producer is 1 etting nothing for his product, ? rhile the consumer is paying enorlous prices. Cantaloupes are serv- i d in the New York restaurants, Mr. r Lhoad says, at not less than 20c for i half portion, while the fancy res- ( aurants and hotels charge as high t s 65 cents for a half cantaloupe. < One thing seems to be conclusive: 1 omebody pays and pays dearly for t ruit and truck, and somebody gets a r if* nrice. It is not the consumer. 1 'he middlemen gets a big commis- 1 ion and the consumers pay the rest, c fotwithstanding the fact that the < ommission men claim?to their i lients?that the market is glutted, i tie consumer continues to pay big *c rices. But the question is, what are we j oing to do about it? Can we do ( nything? Shall the producer con- ( inue to work free, while everybody ^ 'ho touches the product after it T iaves-the farm gets his? t Orangeburg Class ( Comes Here Sunday 2 Next Sunday afternoon at 4:30 ; 'clock, the Davis Bible class of the ^ >rangeburg Baptist Sunday school, rill visit the Berean class of the iamberg Baptist Sunday school.

I Three More Stills Out of Commission As a result of activities last week Df the state constables and United : States revenue men\ three more 1 Bamberg county stills are out of jommission. Two of the stills were japtured in the lower section of the county, while the third was taken Drand new from the Bamberg express office. The first named were of 100 ind 80 gallons capacity, respectively, . 30th being well made and nicely arranged for the business of making liquor. Up to Monday there had been no arrests in connection with any of i the captured stills, but arrests are < .ikely. The activity of the officers is an a different method than hereto:ore, and they serve their warrants it will. The still taken at the express office ici c yy cud auui coocu iu ?u, . ivuunson." There does not appear to be my "M. C. Robinson" in Bamberg. Charley Robinson, whose initials are 2. *M.," is now under charges of operating a still in the Edisto river swamp, and it is not known at this vriting whether he will be charged yith the ownership of this outfit or iot.. The still came here C. 0. D., the amount of which was $27.34. rhose who saw the still, a magnificent affair, are of the opinion that t could not have been purchased for ;his amount, and the opinion prevails that a cash payment was probably nade in advance. < Tho ctill ttroa ohinnoH horo frnm JU UV UWi** n W.W UVi V &A V/MA Philadelphia and was made by a veil known manufacturer, it is said, t is legal to manufacture liquor stills md sell them under certain condi;ions, one of which is that they must )e registered with the United States government, in order that the own;r may be known. Some people are oermitted to own and operate stills; .'or instance, dentists, druggists, ohysicians, etc. These stills are usid for other purposes than making olind tiger liquor, and for such use nay be legally owned. The officers do not tell their busiless, and the status of this partic alar still is not known. When they jailed at the express office, the agent asked them to present proper authorty for confiscation, and this they did tfter calling Columbia over the long iistance phone. The still has been ;aken to Columbia, and is now safey in the possession of the government. In the event the manufacturer has violated the law in regard to :he sale of the still, it is likely that ;he company will be in for some trouble, as well as the local owner, if the same can be located. It is said that seven officers were nvolved in the raids here last week. rViorr r?r\ nnt nnorafo in a mvatorinna nanner, but it seems that they know everything. In fact, it is stated that hey possess absolute information ;oncerning scores of stills in Bamberg county, blue prints being in ;heir possession in many instances, rhey seem to be able to put their lands on any particular still any time :hey wish. It is told that in the jase of one still in the county, the ifficers had information concerning ts removal three different times, havng the exact location of each removal The activity of the officers is havng a marked effect on the local lijuor business. One man stated the )ther day that the price of booze is toing up steadily on account of the aids, and it seems likely that it may )e a possibility that liquor may be 1 lard to get if this thing keeps up. )f course, it is a matter of intense gratification to law respecting citi:ens that this activity is being shown. Fidelis Class Gives Shower for Miss Lillian Martin The ladies of the Fidelis class of ;he Baptist church complimented \Iiss Lillian Martin with a miscellaneous shower at the home of Dr. and Mrs. George F.

Citizens Discuss the County Fair Friday evening at the call of citiZPTlft intPrPQtPrl in + V* ^ Vir\lHinor r*f a ? VWVVV4 1U VU^ UViUiiift Vi ^ county fair here some forty or fifty citizens of Bamberg and other sections of the county met to discuss ways and means of continuing the good start made last year. The meeting was enthusiastically in favor of the county fair, and a committee was appointed to investigate the various possible sites around town suitable for this purpose. This committee is to report at a county-wide meeting to be held Friday, Sept. 1, at the court house in Bamberg at 4:30 o'clock. Posters advertising this meeting have been sent to every voting precinct in tjie county, and it is confidently hoped that a large crowd of citizens from every portion of the county will be present at that time. Mayor Thomas was made chairman of the meeting, and the purpose of the gathering was stated by him briefly. It was moved and carried that the county fair association be organized, and that the above referred to committee be appointed to confer with owners of suitable property. This committee consists of W. L. Riley, W. A. Klauber,' F. B. McCrackin, W. D. Rhoad, C. % W. Rentz, Sr. This committee is now at work and is preparing data on the necessary buildings, togetner wnn an estimate of the cost of the entire proposal. It was decided to make the county fair a stock company and issue stock at ten dollars per share. Each citizen will be expected to take as many shares as possible, in order that the necessary funds may be secured. A committee of publicity was appointed consisting of C. W. Rentz, Jr., R. M. Hitt and H. N. Folk, to properly advertise the meeting Friday. The meeting has been widely advertised and it is now nr? tn the nennle of the countv as to whether or not a fair will be held. Those prompting the fair are emphasizing the fact that not a great deal of money will be necessary and an even distribution of the stock will not work a hardship on anyone. Owing to local existing conditions, it will not be possible to hold a fair on the same basis of last year, when it was financed by donations from the people of Bamberg. It was then possible to get free houses and fair grounds, which cannot be had this year. There is no better county in the state than Bamberg, and Bamberg /MiorVit k-17 ail moans tn have a fair. UUgUt VJJ MA* ? It will take a little money to put the fair across this year, but the amount necessary is insignificant compared with the needs of the fair and the resources of the county. Don't fail to attend the meeting Friday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. . Arkansas has its first woman sher-, iff, Mrs. W. C. Murpljy, having recently been appointed to that position in Desha county.

A legea to nave oeen innictea on nis ? father in law, George Van Dyke, Sun- " day morning early. Both are negroes and both reside in Bamberg. The alleged shooting took place at the home of Van Dyke in this city. Van Dyke is in a very serious condition and may die. A .38 calibre bullet entered his chest), missing his heart only an inch or two, and com- / pletely passed through his body making an exit through the shoulder. ?T.i V. 1 ? nP inot mucn is aiiuwu auuuu me affair. It is understood that Van Dyke says Moye has been accustom- 4 ed to coming to his home in a drun- ^ ken condition, and that when he J came in this condition Sunday morning, Van Dyke proceeded to put him out of the house, and was in the act of closing the door on him, it is said, when Moye pulled an angry looking pistol and fired five shots at Van Dyke, one of the bullets going , Vinm a cmii rol 17 in tVia n'hoet' TVlO nia U4 UUi V* J AAA VAAV VUVWVl * AAV f AW y tol was a six-shooter, and there was one bullet left in the gun. A remarkable feature of the affair is that when Moye shot Van Dyke, the latter immediately got his fighting blood up and made a. dash for his adversary. He grappled with Moye and took his pistol away from his son in law and then proceeded ( to give him the beating of his life. The two battled for some minutes, ' busting up things in general. Van Dyke put up a fight as if he had not been shot. After the fray, he went some white friends and got assistance in the way of medical aid. He is now in a very dangerous condition.
