Cole L. Blease Makes
No Reply to Adv.
On another page of The Herald today
appears an advertisement contributed
by "Democrats of '7G," in
which the record of Cole L. Blease
is cited, his Republican taint is given,
and his speech to the negroes telling I
the mto demand their rights is relat- J
ed.
Immediately on receiving this adyertisement
Tuesday morning, The j
Herald, conforming to its rule, wired
to Mr. Blease as follows:
"Cole L. Blease, Columbia, S. C:?
Carrying ad. Sunday State signed j
^Democrats '76.' If reply is wanted
copy must be in Wednesday morn- j
ing."
This gave Mr. Blease ample time
to mail a reply to this advertisement.
He made no reply. He does not deny
any of the charges. He paid no
? mi I
attention to the telegram irom mei
Herald. The Herald expected no reply,
but fairness demanded that he
bo given the opportunity.

Graded School
Opens Thursday
The Bamberg graded and high
schools will open Thursday morning,
September 14th, at 9 o'clock. All
pupils who expect to enter this session
are urged to be present the op-,
ening day and begin with their respective
classes. Delays are a hindrance
to both pupil and class. Pupils
who are to enter the first grade
must be present and begin with the
grade.
All pupils will be expected to present
their promotion cards before
they can be enrolled. All former pu
pils were given tnese cams at me
end of last session. If any pupil has
lost his card, a duplicate can be secured
by coming to the school building
Friday afternoon, if such pupil
is entitled to one. Pupils who are
entering the high school department
from other schools must bring records
from the school last attended
together with their promotion cards.
All such pupils will please call at the
school building Friday morning for
classification.
Pupils less than six years old will
not be enrolled in school. In most
instances experience has taught us
that such pupils are too young for
the work.
This session begins under the new
text book contract. The prices of
books will be considerably higher
paid for the same books under the
former contract. This, of course, is
due to advance in price of production
during the last five years. The superintendent
is going to use as many
of the old books as can be used at
the beginning of the session. Every
pupil will be given a list of the necessary
books on the opening day. These
books will be sold at the Herald Book
'Qtnro
Owing to the fact that the auditorium
has been cut up into oiass rooms
the usual public opening exercises
cannot be hMd Monday morning.

John Lanliam Wins.
The many friends in Bamberg
were gratified last week to read of
the nomination of John C. Lanham
as a member of the house of representatives
from Spartanburg county.
Mr. Lanham was a late entrant into
the contest in Spartanburg, but made
a fine impression throughout that
big county. The result was a walkover
in the primary. The official tabulation
gave Lanham 7,732 votes
out of about 11,500 cast in the county.
This put him second on the
ticket, Paul M. Murph leading the
ticket with 8,701 votes. John Gary
Evans, ex-governor of South Carolina\
came fourth with 7,362 votes.
Mr. Lanham was until recently a
member of the faculty of Carlisle
school. During the past session he
studied law at the University of
South Carolina and made week-end
visits here to instruct the Carlisle
band. He has been admitted to the
bar and he is now practicing law in
Spartanburg with his brother, S. T.
Lanham, a prominent lawyer and Ma-1
son.

Governor Harvey has won hundreds
of friends throughout the state during
the short time that he has graced
the office of chief executive and many
will no doubt avail themselves of this
opportunity to hear him speak.

Great Gathering
of Men Sunday
What is believed to have been the
largest gathering of men ever assembled
in Bamberg for a religious
purpose was the men's meeting Sunday
afternoon, held under the auspices
of the men's Berean class of
the Baptist Sunday school. The
meeting was held at four-thirty Sunday
afternoon, and the number present
is estimated at 350 to 400. Dr.
Geo. E. Davis and his men's class
from Orangeburg came more than a
hundred strong, while there were
lar^e delegations Dresent from Ehr
hardt and Denmark. The local class
was out in large numbers, and there
were many members of other men's
classes of Bamberg.
Dr. Davis was the speaker of the
afternoon, and his message was one
of spiritual inspiration as well as of
deep interest. His subject was "The
Bible."
The meeting was called to order
by the president of the Berean class,
B. D. Carter, Esq. Several songs
were sung by the congregation, and
solos were rendered by the Misses 1
Cora Prothro and Lois Zeigler, beautiful
young ladies of Orangeburg.
The Rentz quartette rendered a favorite
number, "The Beautiful
Land."
Dr. Davis said that he had prepared
three addresses for this occasion.
His first two addresses, after
mature deliberation, he considered
unfitted for the occasion. Upon
an analysis of the meeting, being
composed of Bible classes, he decided
that the Bible was preeminently
a fitting subject to discuss.
The discourse partook of the nature
of proofs of the divine origin
of the Bible context. Dr. Davis siad
mat it Has Decome common iucil people
believe in the Bible only just so
far as it suited them. His address
was divided into five divisions:
1. Claims which are made in the
Book. The Bible was written either
by good or bad men. If they were
bad men, the Bible is the best book
ever written by such, and if it was
written by good men, surely they 3
could not have been hypocrites. 1
2. Make-up of the Bible. The
preface, the table of contents and ex
planatory notes are easily detected as
man-made; they are placed in orderly
manner, but in the context of the
Bible there is no conformity to rule,
such as all men make.
3. Omissions. Certain things are
left out of the Bible. For instance
only once is the boyhood of Jesus
mentioned. Would uninspired writers
fail to relate the boyhood of Jesus?
Things men notice are not
mentioned.
4. Faithfulness to fact. No effort 1
is made by Bible writers to hide the
truth. The sins of the great men are 1
included, well as their virtues. The
sins of Abraham ana Da via are re- {
corded; the blasphemy of Peter, the
q,uarrel of Paul and Barnabas is told.
Would men have told these things?
It is conspicious that the names of
obscure sinners are not mentioned,
while the names of great personages
who sinned are given. ;
5. Prophesies of the Book. Events |1
were told in detail hundreds and
thuosands of years before their occurrence.
The downfall of cities and
nations is related, and the history of (
the Jews is given up to date. If there
is one word in the English language
the speaker would use to give proof
of the divine authenticity of the
Bible, that one word would be "Jew,"
for the history of the Jewish people
is told in such minute detail that it
could not have been other than in-1
spired. <

John W. Crum,
Dies Near Denmark
In the death last Saturday of John
W. Crum, Sr., of Denmark, Bamberg
county lost one of her finest old citizens,
a man who had in years gone
by rendered valuable service to his
county and state, and a man who ?vas
held in the highest esteem and reverence
by his fellow citizens, neighbors
and friends.
Mr. Crum died following a brief
illness. . Although 84 years old, up
until recently he enjoyed remarkably
^ ' 111. TT- U ? A. /<ii? Pf ll f
nne neaim. ne ua.s suucicu muv
sickness during his long life. About
a year ago he suffered an attack of
the heart, but had apparently about
recovered from it. Two weeks ago
he and family suffered an attack of
ptomaine poisoning, and this attack
evidently again brought on a weakness
of the heart, from which he did
not recover.
The remains were laid to rest Sunday
afternoon at 4:30 in the Denmark
cemetery in the presence of a
large concourse of friends and relatives.
The Rev. W. E. Wiggins, pastor
of the Denmark Methodist church,
of which the deceased was a faithful
member, conducted the funeral services.
Capt. J. B. Guess also spoke 1
a few words on the life and works of
the departed citizen. A large num- j
ber of floral tributes were laid on j
the grave.
Mr. Crum was born at Rowesville!
84 years ago, the son of a Methodist
preacher. He had lived in Bamberg
county continuously since before the
civil war, with the exception of a
year or two* spent in Orangeburg j
county some twenty-five years ago.
Before going to Denmark, he lived
on George's creek in the lower section
of the county. His plantation j
was above Denmark a few miles, and j
he had lived there with his family j
t? fif+T-r ttoopo dnrinp this time
Ileal IJT J-lJ.l-J' jtaia,
three homes being burned down.
He was first married to Miss Rebecca
Hartzog, a daughter of the late
Henry Hartzog. who died 17 years i
ago. A son and a daughter, S. H. i
Crum, of Orangeburg, and Mrs. I. W.
Bowman, wife of Judge Bowman, also
of Orangeburg, survive this marriage.
His surviving widow was a Miss
King, from Georgia, and of this union |
one daughter survives, Miss Dorothy
Crum, a young girl of fourteen years. I
Mr. Crum served throughout the
civil war with the forces of the Confederacy,
being under Butler in the
calvary. He has entertained his j
friends many times telling in a most i
interesting way of his experience during
the war. The Herald has been
promised some of these interesting
experiences in Mr. Crum's own writing
at an early date. Although he i
did valiant service to his southland*, j
he escaped throughout from wounds,
although he was shot several times
through his clothing.
The deceased served his county in
the legislature from 1901 to 1902.
An interesting coincidence in this j
connection is the fact that his son,
H. H. Crum served his county in the ,
legislature, being a member of the
house when the county was formed,
and that his grandson, J. Wesley j
Crum, Jr., also servea me CUUUljr lia |
the legislature, his term being from
1915 to 1918, inclusive.
Condition of Cotton
Has Greatly Declined

enormous decline in the condition
of the cotton crop throughout the entire
cotton belt, and especially in
South Carolina. The general average
condition of the crop on August 25
was 57 against 70.8 a month ago.
The condition in South Carolina was
46 against 60 per cent. July 25.
Figures for counties in this section

Review of Miss
Varn'sRecent Work.
Following is the report of the district
agent on the work of Miss
Emma Jane Varn, home demonstration
agent of Bamberg county:
"Summing up the work done in
June, July, and August by your
county hoe demonstration agents we
find that she stressed conservation
of food to a great extent. Miss Varn
has had 206 calls for her assistance,
and visited 51 farm women to give
them help. Aside from these emergencies
she has not failed to meet
regular club meetings, in which she
has given 35 demonstrations. In this
way she reached 386 people.
"They have no market but they
have found sale for $141.70 worth
of produce. The girls are doing
more'work with their canning this
year than ever before.
"Poultry associations at Denmark,
Hunter's Chapel and Ehrhardt have
good 1 meetings. They are culling
their flocks, keeping only good layers.
The associations are shipping
eggs and getting one-third more
than they could on the local market.
This is sold all during the summer.
"The county short course was held
at Carlisle school on June 21 to 23
and 88 girls of home demonstration
clubs were in attendance. Specialists
from Winthrop college were present
to give the instruction. The last day
more than 200 people came as visi|
tors. The recreational features
brought joy and gladness to the club
[ girls.
"All day canning picnics have been
held in shady groves throughout the
j county. Quite a variety of products
were canned in order that those present
would have a broaded knowledge
of canning all produce. Since plans
are made for a community fair in
the county, this will show the results
of these days spent in canning.
"Your cooperation will be apprecij
ated in advancing the work in Bamberg
county."
Negro is Located
After Nine Years
Nine years ago a negro by the name
of Howard was killed up about Denmark,
and Perry Small was charged
by the jury of inquest with the killing.
Small escaped at the time and
was never heard of until the other
I day it was discovered that he was
serving a sentence on the Colleton
county chain gang.
The matter has been taken up with
/
the solicitor of that circuit in an endeavor
to get Small brought to Bamberg
for trial on the murder charge
I at the next sitting of the court;, which
j begins September 18. Whether the
[ solicitor will consent was not known
| Tuesday.
! Nothing is known here of the kill!
ing nine years ago, other than the ini
formation contained in the inquest
papers.
Small is serving a sentence of 18
months in Colleton county, and has
about a year to" serve. It is alleged
that about last Christmas he fired
a double barrel shot gun down a public
road striking three white men, inflicting
more or less injury. He was
convicted of the offense and is now
, paying the penalty.
Information Sought.
A man was arrested on a charge
of robbing another of his watch. It
was said that he had thrown a bag
over his victim's head, strangled and
robbed him. There was so little evidence,
however, that the magistrate
quickly said:
"Discharged."
The prisoner stood still amazed at
being given his freedom so soon.
"You are discharged," repeated
the magistrate. "You can go."
There was still no word from the
prisoner, who stood staring before
him.
"Don't you understand? You have
been acquitted. You are free," said
his lawyer.
"But," stammered then man,, "do I
-have to give him back his watch?"
NOTICE.
Tobacco is now being accepted at

The Herald Gets
Many Compliments
The last issue of The Herald was
issued at six o'clock Wednesday
morning, several hours before the
regular hour of issue, in order to get
to our realers the early election news.
Through the courtesy of the News
and Courier, The Herald was enabled
to give its readers the very latest
state returns?later and more complete
returns than any of the daily
newspapers reaching this place.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
1 _ J ?a? i. T XT J <1
eariy eaiuon 01 me i\ews ana courier
did not carry the full returns that
paper furnished The Herald, the
News and Courier" gladly phoned us
the results at 5:20 a. m. The local
readers of that excellent daily deeply
appreciate this service, as this was
the only method the people of Bam-*
berk had of reading the late returns.
The Herald also wishes to thank the
News and'Courier and to make public
acknowledgment of its great courtesy.
j
The last issue of The Herald was
on the streets and in the postoffice a
little after six o'clock Wednesday
morning. Copies o.f it were carried
by travelers to other part9. and every- >
where it went it carried the latest
news. For the many compliments
we received, we extend our thanks.
It is the reward of the newspaper
man to receive such words of commendation.
Yes, we worked all
night, but that is part of our business.
The Herald is a newspaper
and we endeavor to give our readers
the news. We do not promise to do
the same thing next Wednesday; local
conditions will determine that.
County Fair Meeting
IVas 'Poorly Attended
Many things conspired to dampen v
the enthusiasm of those citizens of .
Bamberg interested in the organization
of the county fair association.
For one thing, the county is in the
midst of a political turmoil, and peo- . ,
pie do love good hot politics and forget
most everything else when the *' "
pot's boiling good and strong. Added
to this several of the most interested
citizens were out of town last Friday.
Anyway, the meeting in the
interest of the fair was not well , attended,
and very little was accomplished.
However, those present decided
not to give up the ship, but
stand to and continue the battle. ? ,
The committee investigating the
matter of a suitable site was not able
to make a full report. Several mem- ?
