According to local people who have
given the matter considerable
thought, the exodus of colored
people from Bamberg
county to northern cities has
assumed such proportions as to
become alarming to the agricultural
interests of this section. County
Treasurer Jennings, who is in a position
to know by reason of being the
tax collector, estimates that no less
than one thousand negroes have left
the county within the past twelve
months. Of this number at least 500
could be estimated to be colored men,
most of who would be farm laborers.
The Herald is decidedly of the opin
ion that farm owners are making a
grave mistake in not taking care of
their laborers during these strenuous
times. While "it is bad going for everybody
now, and especially the farmer,
who has failed to make a crop two or
three years in succession, it is also
true that with the return of better
crop conditions the farm owner is
likely to find himself without adequate
labor with which to produce a
crop. It has been quite impossible
for any farmer, and especially a
share-cropper, to make any money
crop for at least two years past. This
has caused great discontent among
the colored population. They feel
that the alluring wages received by
some of the more fortunate negroes
in the north means wealth for them
( if they follow. 0/ course this is not
correct, as many colored people can
testify. Living conditions in the
north are entirely unsiuted to ne*
groes, and as a rule it does not take
a long residence there to convince
them of this fact. It would seem a
better plan to encourage the southern
negro labor to stay, here where they
are always assured of a good living,even
though they can not make
money crops. This the average farm
owner might do by giving them plen
ty of land for growing food crops.
The county has plenty of land, much
of which has been idle for two years.
It would be better for the land and
better for the laborers if these lands
were tilled, even though the owner
did not receive a cent of rent for
their use. Tenants would be assured
of growing plenty to eat, and by encouragement
and assistance where
possible living conditions could be
made at least endurable until better
times return. Inasmuch as Bamberg
county depends entirely on its agricultural
interests the necessity of
conserving the labor is an imminent
and serious problem?one which calls
for the best attention of everybody,
white and colored.
OBJECTION TO MARRIAGE.
*
Kaiser Wilheim's Future In-Laws Do
Not Like It a Bit.
3*
" %
A veritable storm of indignation
continues in inner monarchal circles, j
especially among the former higher i
court nobility, over the former kaiser's
intention to marry again, re- <
lates a Berlin dispatch. i
Princess Herminie Schonach Caro- j
lath, a 37-year-old widow, the happy ;
bride-to-be. is telling the secret to j j
friends and relatives everywhere and ]
makes no concealment of her pride
over her "catch", and the fact that ;
she will be spoken of in history as 1
"second wife of Wilhelm II, the last Hohenzollern".
Some of her relatives, however, ]
. take a different view.
"We are horrified", writes one of <
those in a letter which I read today.
"If the kaiser must marry, why her? ;
What a terrible position for her five
children! Herminie writes us that she 1
will marry the kaiser and that we
may tell it to our children."
The former kaiser's marriage will
make him father of an even dozen
children.
According to friends and relatives
of the princess, the kaiser's courtship ;
was most impetuous and quite in
keeping with his impulsive nature.
Princess Herminie wrote him such a
touching letter of sympathy and con
dolence after the death of the former
empress that he invited her to visit
him in Holland, which she did during
the summer.
It is alleged that he popped the
question with all the ardor of youth,
six days after her arrival.

A VAX WLSKLE TOWN.
Village of Bernadote Comes to Life
After a Lang Sleep.
Bernadote, a Rip Van Winkle
town, is awakening from a century of
sleep, says a Springfield, 111., dispatch.
Like those souls living "on yonder
hill" above Spoon river, who were
quickened into life by the imagination
of Edgar Lee Masters in his "Anthology",
the unperturbed inhabitants
of this strange little village on
the same Spoon river, have been
touched with life by the pen of a
newspaper writer.
Without telephones, automobiles,
railroads or any modern conveniences,
this town had gone on in its
undisturbed way for a hundred years,
sleeping quietly in a busy wo/*ld, until
a few days ago when it was "discovered"
by a motion picture director
and the next morning awoke to fame
with a column of type in a Bloomington
newspaper.
C. L. Vanard, looking about for a
"location" to film a country town
scene, ran across the village. It has
no railroads and half the inhabitants
claim never to have seen a train. It
has no picture shows, and of course
had never seen a motion picture
camera. There are no telephones and
no electricity in the town. The old
village grist mill is still grinding
away every day with water from the
same spillway that suplpied the mill
a century ago.
But now strange things are happening
in Bernadote. Big automobiles
whiz through the village. There is
the unusual smell of oil and gasoline.
The swirling dust from many pneumatic
tires distresses the bewildered
inhabitants. Old ladies in calico
dresses no longer go their quiet way
to the village store, and long whiskered
old men no longer calmly whittle
the hours away under the village
trees. Their nerves twitch and the
day is no longer calm.
The article describing the rustic
wonders of the superannuated village
has brought tourists from far and
wide.
About the town go unusual looking
men with camera and stage appearances.
They are the moving picture
people who are going to put Bernadote
in the films. Bernadote is sleep
walking. Some of the oldest inhabitants
think, it is a nightmare.
Most of the folks of the town are
farmers. A few of the oldest are considered
to be retired. The others
work in the fields, harvesting crops
from the same ground their fathers
and grandfathers tilled.
There are two small wooden buildings
in the village that serve as
stores, where the simple wants of the
people are supplied. The houses are
quaint and old-fashioned, of the old
colonial and English type. Picket
fences separate the yards. Old-fashioned
flower gardens bloom in the
doorways.
Henry Ford Wealthiest Man in World
Henry Ford is the richest man in
the world, according to an article
published a few days ago by the Wall
Street Journal, of New York.
"Henry Ford has in the Fora Motor
company the largest income and,
if capitalized, the largest fortune in
the world", said the newspaper.
"Profits before taxes for 1922 will
exceed $125,000,000; after taxes,
they will be $110,000,000, or about
$100 a car. With these earnings the
Ford Motor company could be capitalized
at $2,000,000,000 and pay 5
per cent, on that capital.
"Ford condemns bankers, but with
$180,000,000 in cash he is the largest .
banker in this country, if not in the
world.
"His income, adding to his boundless
wealth $500,000 a day through
the busy season, is probably unequalled
in all history.
"If he continues to pile up cash
at this rate he can not long denounce
Wall street or the money power of
the country.
"Henry Ford will be that money
power."
None Too Hot.
During an art exhibition one of the
artists was receiving the benefit of a
friend's criticism.
"This canvas", said the friend, indicating
a violent bit of impressionalism.
"Do you not think, after all, the
atmosphere is too warm?"
"No," said the artist, "not for a
pot boiler."
Its Progress.
"And your stock is utterly worthless?
Why, I thought the enterprise
was a going concern."
"It was?they were running it into
the ground when I got in."
Superogation.
"You can nearly always tell a married
man?"
"But you can very seldom tell him
anything he hasn't already been told
by his wife."
