$2.00 Per Year in Advance. BAMBERG, S. C., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26,1922. Established in 1891. .':4
Plan Many A/
For Bambe\
f Plans are going forward rapidly
for the second annual Bamberg county
fair. Various committees have
been appointed and are now at work
v planning the details of the exhibition.
The fact that the Bamberg county
fair is the only county fair in the
;world, so far as this writer knows,
which is free, makes it one of much
attraction, and the fact that it is free
has attracted attention far and wide.
It is likely that a new keynote has
been struck in the method of holding
county fairs by introducing this feature.
Tuesday morning a meeting of the
chairmen of the various committees
was held, at which the plans of the
committees were discussed informally.
Farfners are asked now to begin to
prepare their exhibits, and be sure to
bring them in time to have the exhibit
properly displayed. This should be
the greatest county fair in the state if
the people will cooperate to that end.
Elsewhere in this paper will be found
a'list of the committee chairmen to
whom application may be made for
any information relative to booth
space, exhibits, etc.
Business houses are urged to cooperate
and prepare booths. .A nominal
charge will be made for booth*
space alloted for advertising purposes.
No charge will be made to
t
farmers, club workers, etc.
Chairman Smoak reports that the
races will be held on Wednesday and ,
Thursday, the hours to be announced
later. A small admission charge will
! ?be made to the race track to defray
the expenses involved only, and for
awarding a nominal purse to winners.
It is probably that a horse show will
be held in connection With the races.
Chairman Rentz, of tne marKetv.
ing committee, states that arrangements
will be made to have a marketing
expert here. Samples of farm
products may be brought to the fair,
and efTorts will be made to put the (
j farmers in touch with buyers at profitable
prices. Information will be
given* as to grading, packing, cur-1
ing, etc./as well.
James T. Burch is in charge of the
amusement features, and he promises,
to have some fine attractions for the 1
kiddies, especially, and the grown
folks as well. A good midway is pro-!
mised.
il A feature of the fair will be a
guinea trot, something new in this '
neck of the woods, but one that has 1
n I '
proved to be very popular, entertain-!'
ing and amusing. This will be pulled;
off on Main street at some convenient1
time. 11
All of the schools of the county,
are asked to participate in the school j
Hav ovATits Wednesday. Schools are 1
J " I
asked to turn out in full that day :
} and make it the biggest school day j1
event the county has ever known.
The free barbecue is progressing
fine. Several hundred pounds of meat
have already been donated for the!(
purpose. If you have a spare shoat;]
r about the premises, notify W. M. <
Brabham; who will see that it is used
to good advantage.
Exhibits of live stock, poultry, I
home and farm products are especial-!
ly desired. Practically every farmer!
in the county has something good to ]
offer. Notify the chairnjan of the 3
committee and see that your pro-;)
ducts are shown to the people. This j
fair is to advertise the county and:
the cooperation and participation of |}
every farmer and householder is 1
IJ
earnestly requested.
Mr? Sallie Owens is in charge of j <
the home booths. Mrs. Owens desires j?
f to include in her booths antiques, j ]
home articles, of all sorts. It has j ]
been found that this is one of the ,
most interesting features of a fair, j
This county is rich in such articles, }
and the fair is a fine place to dis-^' j
play them. I j
W. A. Klauber is in charge of the (
music for the occasion, and he states ,
that a good band will be secured for ^
the entire week. There will be plenty c
of music. 1
Booth space may be had by apply- s
ing to Dr. F. B. McCracken. There j
will be plenty of space this year. A j
live stock building will be erected on r
the site erf the Denbow warehouse,
while the Farmers warehouse will be
used as the exhibit building. t
LaVerne Thomas is president of g
the fair organization, and he, as well
as every committeeman, is doing
everything possible to make this g
county fair a great event. A com- r
plete list of all committees will be f
published later. t

GINNING REPORT
SHOWS REDUCTION
The^cptton ginning report issued
by the bureau of the census and just
made public shows a great reduction
in this state from the figures to the
same date last year. The figures for
the state are: To September 25,
1922, 148,174 bales; 1921, 21q,249.
While the state as a whole shows a
very material reduction, many of the
counties in the lower part of the
state shown an increase. This is notably
true in Bamberg county, where
the increase is almost double, while
the Piedmont counties appear to -be
the chief sufferers. Greenville county
produced to September 25, last year,
8,049 bales, while this year it fell
to 5,842 bales. ^

Action on Case of Negro.
Columbia, Oct. 16.?GovernorHarvey
issued a statement this afterQon
in which he expressed his determination
to take some definite action
within a few weeks looking to disposition
of the case of David Branaum,
Orangeburg county negro, who
has been in the state penitentiary four
pears, in status quo and who is
jpoken of a^the "Lost Prisoner",
rhe Governor will probably commute
the death sentence which has
been hanging over the negro four 1
rears, following his notice of appeal,
to six years in the penitentia- '
*y, four years of which the negro
las already served or he may grant J
iim full clemency. The chief executive
has reached no decision, but
vill take action to define 'the ne- 1
*roe's status within a week or ten 1
lays, he says. Brannum was convicted
of attempted criminal assault
on a negro child, a relative,
-lis appeal was delayed. Solicitor }
-lydrick, of Orangeburg has recomnended
executive clemency.
Most of us won't take the trouble t
o find out how easy it is to provide
tood pastures for hogs.

Denies Shortage
In His Accounts
Walterboro, Oct. 21.?Sheriff W.
B. Ackerman, who was recently suspended
by Governor Harvey, handed
to the local paper today abatement;
with regard to the suspension and
the charges which had been brought
against him. This statement materially
differs from that which appears
in the daily papers of the 19th, based
upon a statement suposed to have
hoon mst^A hv tViA pftmntrrtllpr e'en
I eral. It is the sheriff's statement that
I no shortage has ever existed in his
office, and that the money that he
paid to the county treasurer on the
14th instant was a settlement with)
'
[the county treasurer brough about
j by his suspension from office render-j
| ing it necessary to make such a set- j
tlement.
The sheriff states that the auditors
from the comptroller general's
office came here as much upon hisj
request as upon the request .of the
solicitor, . it appearing that both
parties requested these auditors to
come. Sheriff Ackerman also quotes
the auditors as stating to him that
no shortage existed for the reason
that he had on han the fiends necesary
to cover the amount with
which he was properly chargeable
which amount, when the same was
approved by the auditors, was promptly
turned over to the treasurer.
In the statement given out -by
the sheriff he states that the Savannah
auditor who checked his of
flee in tne summer aamrxieu iu<ii
his report was not correct, and that
he told the grand jury that the sheriff
could possibly explain q.uite a large
amount of the alleged shortage. The
sheriff claims that he did not make
a settlement at the time the Savannah
auditor checked his office for
the reason that the Savannah auditor
admitted that his report was incorrect,
and the sheriff wanted an official
checking by a representative of
the 'Comptroller Geenral's office before
he made any settlement.
The sheriff's statement reviews
the entire matter from the time of
the audit by the Savannah auditor
until the present time. Upon a true
bill being found by the grand jury
the sheriff apeared in open court
and immediately demanded trial,
which was refused him, it being
then stated that the case could hardly
be reached at the September term
of the court, because it was the last
one on the docket. However, the
court finished its business about 3
o'clock in the afternoon of Thursday,
and again the sheriff, through
his atorney, demanded a trial.
Judge Gary, who was presiding,
refused to order the case for trial,
but stated that the Sheriff's rem"Trtuia
-KQ caouro Q ono/Mal tArm I
CU > nuuiu uc i,u v u ?
of court from the chief justice. Judge
Gary himself was requested to order
a special term and preside over it,
but this he declined to do because of
the large number of courts he had to
hold during the fall months; but suggested
that relief could be secured
from the chief justice and that he
would join in a request that the chief
justice order a special term to dispose
of the matter. The solicitor at
no time has agreed to the holding of
a special term, and when the sheriff
and his attorney appeared before the
tfhief justice at Abbeville the chief
justice declined to grant the special
term until the solicitor would state
that he had no objection to its being
held. In the meantime the sheiff was
suspended and another appointed in
his stead. Thereafter the audit by
the auditors from the comptrollergeneral's
office, above referred to
was made, and the sheriff having
then 'been suspended made his settlement
in accordance with figures,
furnished by the comptroller general's
office, which figures he admits
to be a correct statement of the
amounts properly chargeable to
him, but which funds he claims to
have had on hand all the time and
to have been ready to pay over when ?
St. George Youth
Is Found Guilty
St. George, Oct. 20.?Guilty o
murder with recommendation to th<
mercy of the court was the verdic
of the jury in the case against Wil
liam Carr, Jr., convicted of the kill
ing of John C. Patrick. The jur:
reached a verdict and returned to th<
court room at 5.20 this afternoon, af
ter having deliberated for more thai
three hours. The court was engage<
in the trial of a civil case when th<
verdict was announced.
Judge Memminger stated tha
sentence would not he passed upoi
the convicted man until tomorrov
morning. The young man was sur
rounded by members of his family
He showed no signs of emotion-whei
the verdict was read by the clerk o
court. Messrs. Connor and Behlin*
local counsel for the defense have in
timated nothing thus far as to i
motton for a new trial or an appea
to the Supreme Court.
Witnesses Called.
After both sides had closed yes

several witnesses in reply this morn
ing. The testimony did not diffei
materially from that of yesterda:
with the exception of one witness
who testified that Carr had told hin
that he did not understand why h<
had not killed Patrick as he hac
pulled both triggers of the gun
Oscar Owens, policeman of St. George
testified that he had seen the con
victed man in the county jail on the
morning after the shooting when tolc
that the shot had taken effect in Patrick's
abdomen. Carr, the witness
testified, stated that he had aimed
at his head.
Walter S. Utsey made the firsl
argument for the prosecution followed
by William C. Wolfe for the
defense, and the closing argument
for the State was made by Solicitor
Hydrick. The arguments were
among the most eloquent and comvincing
ever listened to in the Dorchester
County court house, particularly
clear ajid logical was the
appeal of Mr. Wolfe, who consumed
more than an hour, and both Solicitor'Hydrick
and Mr. Utsey spoke eloquently
and forcefully.
COTTON SHOWS
CONSIDERABLE STRENGTH
The Williston Way.
Cotton has shown considerable
strength within the last week. On the
weather report Wednesday morning,
some of the months went close to
23 1-2 cents in New York but reacted
to slightly over 23 cents towards the
close. Cotton was selling for 22 cents
and better in Williston Wednesday.
So far there hasn't been over 1200
bales sold here this Fall which is
only a small part of what would have
been sold by this time during the
days before the weevil. However, this
shortage is not altogether due to
weevil damage as sections that were
not visited by heavy rains are making
around half a crop and some better.
Experts look for higher prices in
cotton.
Cotton seed continue to bring
slightly over sirty cents. Peas are
coming on the market-and as usual
Williston is paying a good price for
them. There seems to be .a tendency
on the part of"farmers not to rush
their peas on the market. The crop of
peas in this section is much shorter
the proper audit was made.
Most important.
"Into the office of a Chicago business
man there recently came a laborer
attached to the establishment who
isked most apologetically:
"Excuse me, boss, but can I get off
;oday?" (
"Why do you wish to go?" 1
"A wedding." T

CONSTABLE SUSPENDED
Said to Have Been on Highway in
Unfit Condition.
Columbia., Oct. 21?Governor Harvey
announced today that he had
suspended State Constable H. L.
JohnsonVjof York, for improper conduct,
and stated that he would probably
suspend Magistrate Bob Lee,
of York County, as a result of
charges filed against him. Johnson
and Lee are charged, to complaint^
filed with the Governor, of having
been occupants of an automobile in
an unfit condition when it ran into
another machine on a public highway.

partner formerly used to oppose my

jverything."
"How do you account for it?" ask?d
the other.
"Don't know," said the first. "I'm

Chief of Police
! ofWagenerShot
f Aiken, Oct. 20.?Luke (Doc)
3 Rodgers, chief of police of Wagener,
t was 3hot and probably mortally
- wounded at 9.30 o'clock this morn
ing by Murray Quattlebaum, a negro,
7 whose brother the chief, a long with
3 Constable Morris Johnson, was try
ing to arrest.
i 'Quattlebaum was caught late this
I afternoon when his two brothers
3 went into a swamp and got him 'to
surrender on promise of officers he
t would not be lynched. The sheriff
i went off in one direction as a ruse
7 and the coroner of the county
- brought Quattlebaum to the Aiken
. County jail about midnight.
i As soon as the news of the shootf
ing got about a posse quickly gathl
ered, and approximately 300 men
- from Aiken, Richland, Orangeburg
i and Lexington counties gathered.
1 Feeling was high and it is believed
that Quattlebaum would have been
lynched but for the presence of
- mind of the sheriff.
1 One shot from a single^barreled
- gun was emptied into the side of the
r officer.
r* Chief Rodgers accompanied Cons
stable Johnson, of Magistrate Gari
vin's court, out four miles into the
3 country to arrest the brother of
1 Quattlebaum for a minor offense,
. and when requested by the brother
, to show the warrant, Murray Quat
tlebaum, it is alleged, raised his
J gun to his shoulder and fired directly
I at the chief, jumping behind a
- mule as he discharged the weapon.
3 Several shots were fired at the man
I bv Constable Johnson, but he darted
off through the woods. Chief Rodgers
fc was taken to Columbia this evening
with the hope of possibly saving his
J life by an operation, though Dr.
Brodie, of Wagener, states if he re
covers it will be a miracle. Blood?
hounds were telegraphed for.
Luke Dodgers has only been on
the Wagener force for one month,
coming to that place from Ridge
s Spring. He ha9 a wife and large
1 family of children and is about forty
three years old.
CARLISLE WINS, 13 TO 0
Defeats Savannah High School in'
Pretty Game.
Friday afternoon in a one of the
prettiest games of football ever seen
on the local grounds Carlisle won
from Savannah High School by the
score of 13 to 0. Large was the
bright star for Carlisle, his two long
runs placing the ball near the goal
line from where Folk carried it over
for the first touchdown, soon after
the game started. Large ran the
team well and ran back pdnts well.
Carlisle twice advanced the ball to
the one-yard line in the last half
but failed to carry it over. Savannah
made three firstdowns to 14 for
the local boys. Beside Large the
Carlisle line played good ball, showing
a complete reversal of form exhibited
in the Columbia game.
Carlisle plays Bailey in Bamberg
October 27. This game, will probably
decide the State prep school
championship and a large crowd is
expected to witness the contest.

Her Reasoning.
Two men were discussing golf
courses in general and a pretty little
nine-hole course in particular. Eventually
the conversation turned to a
certain eighteen-hole course familiar
to both.
"I always think," commented one
to the other, "that the little nine-hole
course is far more difficult than the
eighteen-hole course."
"Well, one would expect it to be
so," exclaimed a lady friend, who
needless to add, did not play golf.
"Why?" asked the two men simultaneously.
"Why, it is obviously easier to get

Dial Continues
Fight on 7 olbert
Laurens, Oct. 19.?Senator N. B.
Dial was this afternoon advised of
the recess appointment of Joseph W.
Tolbert as United States marshal for
the Western distrct of South Carolina,
Senator Dial has opposed Tolbert's
nomination from the first and
he indicated tonight that he was not
through with the protest.
The senato^ wired District Judge
Watkins protesting the qualifying of y
Tolbert, citing the fact that the ap
pomtee Has been convicted in the
United States courts of criminal acts
and in all probability he is disqualit
fled'to take the oath and hold office
under the constitution. The senator
also wired Gen. M. L. Bonham to
take such steps as necessary to prevent
Tolbert from holding this im- y
portant post. He pointed out to General
Bonham that unless Tolbert has
been pardoned, he can not qualify
for the office and the senator says
; that he does not know of any such,
pardon having been granted. The
conviction of Tolbert referred to was
for alleged embezzlement and larceny
after trust according to the records,
says the senator. Senator Dial
says that when Tolbert's nomination
was sent to the senate he objected to
confirmation whereupon the case was ii
referred^to a subcommittee of threemembers
of the judiciary committee.
Charges were filed and the committee
was urged to have Tolbert come
before it for a hearing of the case,
as it was the intention of the senate
to cross-examine him before the
committee. A demand for a commit- 1 p
tee proceeding was made several
times, but Mr. Tolbert did not appear,
although this was urged by the
senator. V|3
Considering these grave charges,
says Senator Dial, which were unanswered
and unanswerable, he con'
siders it an outrage to the decent
people of South Carolina for the Republican
administration to try to
force a man of such character on this "
district and state.
Continuing, Senator Dial said that
if Judge Watkins allows Tolbert to
qualify, possibly all* his official acts
will be illegal. In the event, however,
that Tolbert is permitted to
qualify, the senator says he will do
all in his power to have the nomination
rejected when 4t comes up in
the senate for confirmation.

Wintering Bees.
'
i
Clemson College, Oct. 10.?It will
soon be time to pack bees for the
winter, and it is important to bear
in mind the folowing facts, says E.
T. Prevost. Extension Bee Specialist.
'Packing cases sfliould be made of
sawdust, dry leaves, or hulls. Whatever
material is used, it should by all
means be dry.
The hives that are to be packed
should have good young queens ready
for spring and plenty of stores
of honey of good quality.
These facts are important to insure
a good crop for next season.
Farmers' Bulletin 1012 on "Preparing
Bees for 'Outdoor Wintering"
which may be had free from the Extension
Service, gives much good
information on this subject.
^ Mrs. Cora Lilley, of St. Louis, Mo.,
probably holds the record for the
number of divorces, she having nine
to her credit.
