Buy trees that have been inspected
for dangerous parasites and look for
certificate of inspection on the pack

Trees one year old from bud or

may be two years old before planting.
Under no circumstances should trees
over two years old be planted for
they receive a greater check in trans
planting than younger trees and do

A County Fair.

New Hampshire College, Durham,
N. H., Nov. IL, 1913.
Mr.. A. w. knight, Bamberg, S. G.
Dear Sir: Several weeks ago I no.
ticed a piece in the "Herald"' in re-
gard to a county fair for Bamberg
county the coming year. Just allow
me to say that I certainly do most
heartily second DR.. Blacks motion.
In a number of the Western States,
it has been my pleasure to make Q
very close study of agricultural con-
ditions, and it would seem that in
the most prosperous counties in these
particular States, we find the people
taking very great interest in coun-
ty fairs, particularly of an agricul-
tural and educational value.
1t would seem that county fair
properly conducted, and of an edu-
cational and agricultural value, would
be one of the greatest movements to-
ward better agriculture for Bam.
berg county. Yours very truly,

Woman Fights the Union.

New York, Nov. 13.-Mrs. Cath
crime Haverty, who for four years has
been conducting a taxicab business
left without a head when her hus-
band died, defied her sixty striking
chauffeurs today by sending out her
cars with twenty non-union drivers.
She decided even to ride herself on
the front seat of the first car out OF
her garage notwithstanding that she
believed the strikers contemplated
violence.
Anticipating trouble, the police ar
ranged to give Mrs. Haverty and her
non-union men ample protection.
Mrs. Haverty asserts that her late
husband aided with money and advice
the creation of the union that is
cow threatening to ruin her and
which she declares has deprecated
her property from s150,000 to $780,
600. She was i'll, she asserts, at the
time her agreement with the union
expired on November 1 and the
union would not agree to wait a few
days until she might be able to dis
cuss terms.

COTTON PICKING MACHINE
PATENTED By NORTHERN MAN
is GIVEN A TRIAL.
Economy Question All That Remains
to Be Settled Before Being
Put on the Market.

Anderson, November 18.-Mr. W..
K. Dana, of Westbrook, Maine, is
here with one of his patented cotton
pickers, making experiments to learn
it's actual commercial value. He was
here II years ago making investiga-
tions along this line and at that time
was the guest of Mr.. Jos. J. Fret
we'll. He is back here again with the
output of his ideas and his plans,
and is making experiments in the
fields of Mr.. Fretwell.
Mr.. Dana Saturday tried out his
cotton picker on place planted by
Mr.. J. L. Cochran, former manager
of the county farm. The picker op-
crates on the pneumatic suction prin-
ciple, and is operated by three men.
AS there are negro hands who can
pick from $50 to 400 pounds day it
would be necessary for this machine
to pick about 1900 pounds day and
to pick it clean, for it to be finan-
cial success. There is no doubt about
the fact that it will pick the cotton.
The picker sits between two rows
and is a squatty little contrivance
about the size of cultivator with
four horse motor swung to it. Be-
tween the handles is the sack into
which the cotton is dropped as it is
sucked from the bolls by the long
rubber tentacles operated by the mo-
tor. There are two of these tenta-
cles or pickers and each is operated
by one person. The rubber hose ter
minating in the patent picking ar
rangement will stretch over about
three rows of cotton so the machine
will cover five or six rows at time.
The operator merely pokes the end
of the rubber hose at open bolls
of cotton and the machine does the
rest. The picker at the end of the
hose has a kind of rotary motion,
and when the pin points at it's end
touch the open locks of cotton, the
fibre is given little twist which
removes it from the boil. Mr.. Dana's
understanding of the nature of the
cotton is shown in his having
guard on the end of the picker
which catches against the end OF
the bolls and prevents them from
being sucked in also.

County Fair.

To the Editor of The Bamberg
Herald: | see what our good friend,
Dr.. J. B. Black, has to say about
Bamberg county fair, which / must
say I am heartily in favor of and
think we should get busy and organ
ize same. From what I know of the
good people of Bamberg county and
their progressive spirit, l am sure
we can get the hearty cooperation OF
all the farmers, merchants, and busl-
ness men of the county, especially DO
think the good ladies will take a
great interest in same, displaying
their fancy work, canned fruits, pre-
serves, flowers and good cakes. l
know a great number of chicken
cranks with their various breeds, all
of the best, who would like to come
forward and show what the hen IS
doing for Bamberg county. Best OF
all II hear of the progressive farmers
of the Denmark section beginning to
raise Bamberg county mules for their
farms, which 1 think shows very
progressive spirit. I know these
gentlemen would take great pleasure
in competing against their neighbors,
with the best looking mule. l don't
know just what our good friends IN
the Olar and Ehrhardt sections are
doing, but l know if it is not mules,
they will have something equally as
good looking to show at the fair.
Gentlemen, fellow citizens, and neigh
bors, let us all hear from you, and
come forward and organize the Bam-
berg County Fair Association, which
will require few shares of stock
from each one of you, and, am
very sure it will pay you small
dividend on your investment and at
the same time put us in line with
all of our sister counties surround
ing us, all having the best county
fair. Yours for success,
GEORGE F. HAIR.

Court Proceedings.

When The Herald went to press
last week the case of G. Victor
Kearse for the killing of Joe M. Kin
sey was being tried. This case was
finished Friday, the jury returning a
verdict of guilty of manslaughter. He
was given. a sentence of three years
in the penitentiary, without hard
labor, on account of his physical con-
dition and his provocation for the
act. Appeal to the Supreme Court
was taken, and the judge granted
bail. Bond was at once given. This
case concluded the general sessions

the first case being that of Miss Alma
Folk against the Seaboard Air Line
Railway, a suit for damages. A YER
dict for S1,75O damages was return
ed by the jury, $1,000 actual dam
ages and $3.50 punitive damages.
A number of cases were marked
ended, and in the case of R. R. Coney
against Saltkeatchie Lumber Com
pany a consent verdict was rendered
for $4,000 damages. This case has
been tried twice, and each time a

suit for damages for personal injuries
sustained while in the employ of the
company.
In the cases of o. J. c. Lain and
J. R. Morris against the Seaboard
Air Line Railway, consent verdicts
were rendered for $3.50 each, the
same jury acting in each case.
The case of H. C. Folk against
P. A. Carroll resulted in a verdict of
S1,1O0 for plaintiff.

Hunter. a verdict for SS31.3S for
plaintiff.

at noon, and in the the afternoon
several orders were taken. and equity

journing during the afternoon.
While the civil court only consum-
eded two and a half days, much
business was transacted, and the cal
endar is in better shape than for a
long time.

AEROPLANE HITS CROWD.
Several Are Hurt in Accident at
Camden.

Several people were injured when
the aeroplane of Frank Terrell crash
ed into the crowd that was witness
ing his flight at Camden Friday after
noon. Mr.. Terrell attempted to land,
but as the claw which is used as a
brake on his trailer refused to pene-
trate the hard ground, he lost control
of his machine with the above results
Mrs. King, mother of Walter King,
of Camden, was hurt the worst. She
received the full force of the machine
and was severely bruised. 1t IS feared
that she received a broken bone in
the shoulder. Wilmer King, of Be.
thune, also received the full compact
of the machine and was knocked un-
conscious for a few moments. His lit
tie daughter was slightly bruised. Jas
Shearn was bruised and his clothes
badly torn. Mcdowell Lewis received
a cut on the temple and a negro
nurse was knocked down. Little Jack
Nettles, who was with the nurse, was
thrown on one of the planes Of the
machine but was uninjured. Mr.. Ter.
rell received a bruised arm when
thrown from his seat
The accident happened so quickly
that people were dumfounded, women
and children became hysterical and
rushed toward the injured to see if
any were their friends or relatives
Others, more timid, ran towards the
exhibit building fearing to look upon
the injured, who lay writhing on the
ground.
DR.. Corbett> was Immediately to the
side of Mr.. King and DR.. Brasington
went to Mrs. Kings rescue. They
were hurt the worst Others went to
Mr.. Terrell's aid, who was on the
ground near the fence, in front OF
the machine. For several minutes a
small panic reigned, but the crowd
was soon calmed by the assurance OF
a number of influential men that the
injuries were not serious. Mr.. Ter
reu broke down and wept, and it was
some time before he could be induced
to leave the ground and return to
the hotel where he is stopping. The
accident apparently was unavoidable.
The crowd had been warned not to

took place, but in their anxiety to get
a good view did not heed the warn
