Cije Pamberg peralb 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 XXXI, Number 49 Thursday, Dec. 7,1922 Judge"Watkins recently excoriated the bootleggers, ana predicted that the state would soon be cleared of such law breakers. However, a few days later in the United States court Judge Watkins tempered his sentences with considerable mercy, imposing $1 fines on a number of offenders. With all due respect to "-.-V ova inclined to \Y u c ai vy ? the opinion that with the imposition of $1 fines on bootleggers the illicit traffic in liquor will not soon be abated. Another sad instance comes to light as a result of Charleston's ordinance requiring Charlestonians to eat only meats killed by the Charleston abattoir. A gentleman from the city by the sea wrote J. 'M. Grimes the other day requesting that he be sent some of -Mr. Grimes's sausages, stating that he had sampled some of the fine products of this section at the Orangeburg fair and had been informed Mr. Grimes could supply him. Mr. Grimes sorrowfully wrote the Charleston gentleman that ne could not take any chances on going to jail; that (he is a man of many parts, but no part of him yearns for walls of stone or steel. Therefore, he could not send him any sausage. However, he repeated The Herald's invitation to the editor of the Xews and Courier, to come to Bamberg and partake to his satisfaction of sausages. The 1922 report of Miss Will Lou Gray, state supervisor of adult schools, reveals the fact that South Carolina does not stand at the top of the list in illiteracy in the United states, as is generally reported, although it is bad enough. According to this report, 18.1 per cent, of the population of South Carolina is illiterate?cannot read or write. Louisiana tops the list with a percentage of 21.9. Since 1910, however, South Carolina has made better strides toward eradicating illiteracy than Louisiana. In 1910, Louisiana's illiterate population was 29 per cent., while South Carolina's was 25.7. In 1920, Louisiana had reduced her illiterate population to 21.9 per cent., and South Carolina had reduced hers to 18.1. Louisiana's reduction was 7.1 per cent., while South Carolina's reduction was 7.6. This is very encouraging, and indicates with the ^ame progress, South Carolina will not long remain even second in illiteracy. Mississippi stands third in illiteracy with a percentage of 17.2. Miss Gray asks this pertinent question in her report: Can South Carolina afford to remain illiterate* especially with the advent of the boll weevil? BOLL WEEVIL EXTERMINATOR?WHAT IS IT? Clemson College Dec. 6.?There has been referred to the Division of Entomology a card with the heading: "The South Aroused," etc. This card advertises a boll weevil exterminator, apparently for sale by WaKo*or> T ohnrotftrioc St Tannic ATn t?UO WV^l w* UWVi iVV, IW V. *? W v.N^, -* V. , It speaks of this boll weevil exterminator having been tested, proven and endorsed by many big plantation owners of South Carolina. "We do not know what this exterminator is," says Prof. A. F. Conradi, Entomologist, "as to our knowledge it has not been referred to Clemson College for examination, and we are interested to know who are the big plantation owners referred to in the advertisement. "Under date of November 6 we wrote to the address of Webster Laboratories, St. Louis. Mo., as giv-1 en on the card, but we have not heard j from them. As this is a time wihen we must consider everything that may have any possible practical val-' ue in boll weevil control we should j be very glad to hear from such plan-; tation owners who have had an op-j portunitv to test this exterminator."!

"The Labor Bureau incorporated" is a new publicity organization which aims to keep the labor unions acquainted with industrial conditions and so to steer them in attitude and acts. Human life is chock full of the inter-relationship of all thing9 of ; strange unexpected exhibits in reaction all of which leads us up to the ' - - ? - J -1. Labor tJureau uihi ine picun.aun.ui. ui tlie farmer. And while some of the pronouncements of the Labor Bureau are most excellent here is one that seems to separate widely the Bureau from the excellent thing which we know as logic. Immigration The Labor Bureau w'hile stating that there is a tragic shortage of common labor in this country and that its sole cause is restricted immigration, yet the Bureau does not advise more immigration, but, on the contrary insists that the new high tariff threatens to make the 'Tot of labor in the United States the harder" and that this will "offset the present lack of immigration." Jelioshaphat! What a babel of confusion in 'theorem do we have here. For two hundred years we have been fed up into actual gorgement on the theorem that high tariffs put up prices which protect home labor against cheap, foreign labor. Xow we are solemnly told, on the contrary, that our new tariff will make I the lot of labor here harder. Will our republican congress kindly sit up quickly and take notice, and why not repeal our tariff law, since it is going: to react so unfavorably on -American labor. Even over in India they are setting up a tariff today to protect their more ignorant and less efficient labor as against the skilled labor of Europe and America. The tariff always has been supposed to j be the provider of high wages for home labor. Up in t'he Labor Bureau they had to have an argument for the continued restriction of immigration: and they found one but with what a stress and strain and a twist was the argument produced. Deflation On the contrary the Labor Bureau sajs some very sound words as regards deflation. The Labor Bureau recognizes the serious predicament of the farmer in the one-sided deflation of prices last year. In this enforced deflation the bottom absolutely dropped out of all a?ricultural prices. The farmer, however, was barred from borrowing on his products even though he was willing to put up collateral. Witness the wholesale selling, for example, of cotton at ten cents last year, the same cotton today worth twenty-six cents. If you care to go into thi9 deflation story further read an excellent editorial in November the twentysecond number of that high class financial paper known as Commerce and Finance. The title of the article is "The Federal Reserve System Imperiled." Regeneration of Europe. Anotfher pronouncement of the Labor Bureau, and a most sound one it is, is that it tells the labor of this country to press for the regeneration of Europe as the surest way to solve U-'-- ^ Tvi AfVt AT* laoor aimcuintjs ucic. xu umw words, a busy Europe will mean a buying Europe. Equally true it is that our American agricultural difficulties can be solved likewise and best and indeed can only be solved by European regeneration. Humiliated The most humiliating thing that ever happened in the history of this country was when a Turk stood up t'he other day in Lausanne and laughed at and decried this country, saying | that we demanded rights and privileges the same as Europe but that we gave nothing in return and would assume no responsibilities. And the Turk for once in his life was right. And while our agricultural recovery certainly depends upon European recovery yet this European recovery will never come so long as this country insists on bleeding white its allies for war dabt9 and so long as the ruling national thorems are "isolation" and "the observer," whi^h terms, by the way, are wholly unknown in a certain ethical realm a | little higher up than the United States. Things have come to a prettypass in this country when a Turk more hectically minded than we are reviles and flaunts us. American agriculture pays its compliments to the Turk. N. L. W. Discriminating Verdict.?A countryman with a local reputation as a vocalist attended a dinner, and was asking to sing. Altho he had no music with him, and was as hoarse as a frog, he consented to try, hut broke down. "Never thee mind, lad," said an elderly guest, trying to cheer him up; "never mind the breakdown, for thee's done thy best; but th' fellow as asked thee t' sing ought to be shot."?The Baptist. FARMER AND BUSINESS. Some Day Superior Products Will Be Advertised. The day when American farm products will be as extensively advertis- ! ed throughout the country as the automobile and other manufactured ar- * ticle9 will soon arrive. Dr. W. M. Jar dine, president of the Kansas State Agricultural college, declared a few days ago before the Washington Ad T club. "The American farmer has been ac_ ( quainted with only one side of the > advertising business," he said. "In the main he thinks of advertising as o v,-,/-,v Iqoc t-ripl.-v* Hovico pmnlnv tX iilUl ?7 I C* ~ v> W-- Ls ^ ed by middlemen to separate him from his money. He probably has somewhat the same opinion of advertising as a target has a fide practice. "The signs of the times, however, are pointing in another direction. Bankers and members of chambers of commerce have begun to take the farmer in as a business partner. They are seeing that they must help him earn more money, and they are beginning to see that he needs help principally with his marketing and selling problems. "The selling end of the farmer's business has ben badly neglected. Circumstances are to blame in part, he is to blame in part and business 1 men are to blame in part. In a certain sense, advertising men are much 1 to blame. Problems in marketing, advertising and selling that need solution much more than money which ( have been solved, have been neglect- 1 ed. \ Agricultural men of America have begun to concern themselves with the selling end of their business. They have begun to learn to sell cooperatively, to organize and to respect their organization. The next generation of farmers is going to grow up already 'sold' to the idea of organization." PEXBY IS RILED. Says Xaval Academy Disgraced by Much Drinking at Football Game. . The conduct of the Annapolis midshipmen at the Army-Xavy football game in Philadelphia last Saturday, ] was arraigned in a public statement , last Monday by Secretary Denby of . t'he navy department, declaring that members of the corps had brought 1 disgrace not only upon themselves, j but on the Xaval academy. "How many midshipmen drank heavily I do not know," said the {-secretary's statement, but he added that despite the good behavior* of many ' enougih midshipmen had "failed to < do their duty to their uniform and to ] their country to bring shame upon 1 all." He announced that an investi- < gation would be ordered. ' Secretary Denby's statement fol- -1 lows: "My attention has been called to the misconduct of a number of midshipmen from the Xaval academy on Saturday night, after the Army-Xavy game.I have no desire to minimize in any way the fact that many of the midshipmen did disgrace themselves and bring disgrace upon the Aavai c academy, for I know it to be true, I am shocked beyond measure that such things could have occurred. The 2 misconduct on that occasion was, as ( far as I know, the most flagrant that S has ever been charged against the ac- * ademy. How many midshipmen 2 drank heavily I do not know. The 1 whole regiment was in Philadelphia. 7 Only a relatively small proportion of Jj the regiment attended the ball. Of t this small proportion I think the t great majority conducted themselves t with propriety, but enough failed of t their duty to their uniform and to j: their country to bring shame upon c all. Such an occurrence will never be ^ repeated, for such steps as are neces- e sary will be made to make it impos- s sible. 7 "In this connection I wish to make it quite clear that the Naval academy t has hithertofore set an example to c the countrv of good conduct on such p 9 occasions and will set examples in 3 the future. I was 90 proud of them at the game, which was one of the most l thrilling I have seen and where I saw ^ absolutely no evidence of drinking ti among the midshipmen, that later ( events of the evening came as an ab- b solute shock. When I think of the pic- ^ ture presented by your 2,400 young b men standing at cap salute in honor G of the visitors while the cadets celebrated upon the field the well-won J 1^ success I can harly reconcile their E sportsmanlike conduct then with t; what occurred afterwards. Ah inves- Jj tigation will at once be ordered." 0 Repairing Neatly Done.?Irate o Customer?"I bought a car of vou 9 several weeks ago and you said if anything went wrong you'd supply the v broken parts." s Dealer?"Yes." ^ c Irate Customer?"Id like to get ^ a nose, a shoulder-blade, and a big p toe."?Manitoba Free Press. h ? b Turn under your cotton stalks now. h LAW AS TO APPEALS s a Ifter Discovered Evidence Don't Go ^ Without Permission. The state supreme court Monday afternoon handed down a decision which tightens still further the looptoles in the criminal law and criminal 1 legal procedure in South Carolina, when it announced the adoption of wihat will be known as "Rule 31," vhich prohibits the making of appeals on the ground of after-discovered evilenc-e, without the supreme court first giving permission for such a motion. Rule 31 reads as follows: "The following practice shall be observed in the matter of motions for c new trials upon after-discovered evi- ^ dence: f "First: In a case which the cir- j cuit court has not been deprived of jurisdiction by appeal or otherwise, t the motion may be made in the cir- < cuit court. 1 "Second: In a case which is pend- * c ing upon appeal in the supreme court, ( the motion may not be made in the c circuit court, until the supreme j court by order upon motion therefor, shall have suspended the appeal and ( granted leave to the movant to make the motion in the circuit co i>'t. "Third: In a case in which the ap- ] peal has been disposed of by the supreme court and the remititure transnitted to the circuit court, the motion may not be made in the circuit court t mtil after the suj reme court by order < upon motion therefor shall have " grated leave to the movant in the jircuit court; and when the defendant ^ sihall be under sentence of death, the motion in the supreme court must be j made not later than the 10th day before the day assigned for the execution of the sentence (exclusive of said 1 day) and upon four day's notice to the solicitor with copies of the moving papers." ^ ! ! ?
