BIGGEST OAK WORLD.
Claim Set Up by Toombs County in
Georgia.

That the biggest oak tree in the
world is in Toombs county, Georgia,
is the claim of Hon. w. H. Sharpe,
member of the Toombs county board
of education, and citizen of the
southern section of the county.
To support his claim, says dispatch
in The Savannah Morning News,
Mr.. Sharpe displayed a newspaper
clipping in which it was claimed the
largest oak tree in the world is in the
Sacramento valley in California, its
dimensions being % feet and l inch
in circumference and 105 feet tall.
Mr.. Sharpe says in the Southern
section of this county, on the farm of
S. P. Smith. there is giant live oak
which measures nearly 25 feet in cir
cumference. The shade of the tree at
noon covers more than fourth of an
acre. 1t is probably not so tall as the
California oak, but nevertheless Mr..
Sharpe thinks that it is entitled to the
distinction of being the largest oak
in the world.

Let's Change Conditions.

Editor of The Herald, Bamberg, S. G..
Dear Sir: In Thursdays issue of
The Herald l note with interest an
article by Mr.. w. C. Patrick, of Co.
lumbia, headed, whats the Matter
With Bamberg?" AS a matter of
fact Bamberg has the making of as
good town as there is in the Caro-
linas. Her foundation is as good as
any town. Her men are as manly as
the men of any town in America, but
just at present our little town seems
to be going down hill. / still have
confidence in the will power and
ability of our citizens to check this
backward move the town seems to be
taking. Bamberg needs men today
more than she has needed them for
years. There are in Bamberg men to
fill the bill but as Mr.. Patrick says,
why do they refuse to come to the
front and make the fight? Bamberg
needs council which is not afraid
of any man and then let the law
abiding citizens of the town come to
the front and uphold the council in
their efforts to make Bamberg NOR
ally clean town, and you will see re-
suits.
There is only one way and that is
to put our shoulders together and
push the roller over the lawless ele-
ment of our little town. If we only
stop for & minute and discard all
thought of our pocket books and
think of the moral side of the prob
lem, then our trouble will cease. We
have too good town to let fall from
our grasp, and 1 still believe we have
men who are willing to come forward
and see that the law is enforced. Now
is the time for every lawabiding citi-
zen to come to the front and declare
a crusade against laWlessness.
Men, be patriotic and public spirit
ed. Don't hold back but come on in
and let's make Bamberg move up hill
again.
l want to see progressiveness in
connection with Bamberg when 1
glance through the columns of the
different State papers. Let's make
Bamberg attractive by making her
clean moral town. Let's not frighten
our neighbors away by allowing con-
tinuous homicides to occur in our
midst. Say come, we are going to re-
move the cause. Yours very truly,

DEMANDS $4,000 DAMAGES.
Blease Supporter Sues Gaffney Ledg-
er for Alleged Libel.


Gaffney, April 23.-A complaint
was served today on Ed H. DeCamp
and the Limestone Printing Company,
of which Mr.. DeCamp is proprietor,
giving notice of an action to be
brought against the Limestone Print
ing Company for $4,000 for alleged
libel. The suit is being filed by Henry
Buice and alleges in the complaint:
THAT ~ or about the goth day Of
August. 1912, the said newspaper
known ~ the Gaffney Ledger and the
defendant, Ed H. DeCamp, its editor
and proprietor, published and circu-
lated in said paper" certain "libellous
matter about plaintiff" The COM
plant quotes an excerpt from an edi-
torial which appeared in the Gaffney
Ledger during the heat of the Guber-
material campaign last year. This
editorial purported to give the char
acter of some of the Blease support
ers in Cherokee County and excited a
great deal of interest in many parts
of the State at the time.
The plaintiff alleges that the ar
ticle impeached his honesty, integrity
and reputation and exposed him to
public hatred, contempt, ridicule and
obliquy, and tended to injure his
character, business and reputation,
and by reason of that alleged fact the
said plaintiff asks damages in the
sum of s25, 900.
The plaintiff is represented by a
Blacksburg lawyer, while Mr.. De-
Camp has retained Butler & Hall, of
the local Bar, and will fight the case
to the finish.

GIRL MEETS TRAGIC DEATH.
Miss McManus Instantly Killed While
Drawing Water.

Edgefeld, April 26.-Miss Fannie
McManus, the 13-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. Trapp McManus,
was almost instantly killed last night
about s o'clock. She went out in
the yard for a bucket of water, and
while drawing the water the shelter
above the we'll was pulled over on
her. The heavy boards struck her
above the left eye, knocking her to
the ground and crushing her skull.
She died in less than ten minutes in
the arms of her father, who ran to
her assistance. She was member OF
the Methodist church, regular at
tendant upon the Sunday-school and
was a pupil of the graded school. Her
amiable disposition and very sweet
spirit caused her to be loved by a
large circle of friends. The funeral
was conducted this afternoon at 4
O'Clock at the Methodist church by
the Rev. J. R. Walker, and the inter-
ment took place in the village ceme-
terry.

of marriages to take place in Bam-

soon play out and become extremely

There are a number of foreign dogs
in the country-St. Bernard, New
foundland and a heterogeneous null
titude of others. AS they are far
more intelligent than the native dog,
they are apt and amenable to disclp-
line, and as a rule are faithful in the
harness, while the ungrateful native
dog will shirk at every possible op-
portunity and occasionally a good
lashing is necessary to keep his mem
ory alive to the fact of obedience; en-
couraging words do not have the
force with the native that they, do
with the dogs of civilization. But it
is impossible for the immigrant dogs
to endure the hardships of this rigor-
Gus climate for any length of time.
My noble dog Baldie was one of the
finest specimens l have ever known.
This powerful dog took me from
nv cabin in the mines into Circle
City-the 65 miles in one day; of
course, the trail was in excellent con-
dition, and there was nothing on the
sled with me but my robes. ran oc-
casionally to get warm, and walked
up the inclines, but rode nearly all
the way. Of course, he couldn't
cover this distance daily, but he could
make it once or twice a week, and
40 to As miles on a good trail was an
easy average for him.
He was much too fast for team,
and would always be ahead pulling
the other dogs along. He was con-
sidered the fastest dog in that part
of Alaska. He had a very peculiar
gait-not the trot of most dogs, but
a pace or rack. He weighed 165
pounds, and was all bone and muscle.
On the summer trail he could carry
fifty pounds in his pack saddle. l
paid 500 for him, but all the gold
of Alaska could not fhave purchased
him from me.
The price of Alaskan dogs is gov
erned by the number of stampedes
during winter, which creates a
great demand for dog teams with
which to reach new gold fields at an
early date. At such times teams of
three or four dogs have brought as
high at $1,000 or $4,000, where their
usual price would be about $500 or
$500.

GIRLS DEATH SUSPICIOUS"
Calhoun Coroner's Jury, However,
Fails to Charge Crime.

St. Matthews, April 27.-Late yes
terday afternoon Coroner D. E. Hill
debrand, Sheriff Hill and physician,
with ''suspicious" evidence in their
possession, went out to the cabin
home of Tom Bates, colored, near
Riley's station, and held an inquest
over the dead body of his daughter,
Sadie Bates, who died Friday night.
The evidence showed that Bette
Bates, the second wife of Tom and
step-mother to the deceased, had been
unkind to the girl and that she had
hated the child. The husband ad-
mitted that he had often reprimanded
his wife about this i'll treatment and
that he had grave doubts about his
daughter, 16 years old, having died
a natural death. He said he left her
we'll during the day and when he re-
turned at night found her with pain
like a risin' in the head" She died
soon d1LST WITHOUT l1e SCI flSoo VI any
physician. The husband also admit
ted that he had told a number of peo-
pie, from time to time, about the
harsh conduct of his wife towards
his daughter.
The wife, Bette Bates, made a good
witness in her own behalf. She made
a clean breast of her feelings towards
the girl, saying that she did not love
her and that they often quarrelled,
but denied strenuously that she was
ever brutal or wished to make
away" with the girl.
1t is understood that the jury, of
which T. V. CHM, white, was fore
man, had serious misgivings about
the case and the attitude of Bette
Bates, but considered the evidence in
sufficient, upon which to hold her,
and rendered their verdict according

Vardaman as a Cavalier.

Washington, April 27.-Senator
James K. Vardaman, of Mississippi,
Yesterday flashed across Washington's S
vision as a true Southern cavalier.
Sightseers rambling around the
Capitol grounds observed a mettle-
some charger stamping the asphalt in
front of the Senate office building.
Ever and anon, the noble animal
raised it's head and pricked forward
it's ears as if to listen for the foot
steps of it's master. Every time the
small negro boy, who desperately
clung to the bit, was swung clear OF
the ground. The impatience of the
steed and theanxiety of the youth
were soon to be rewarded.
The revolving doors of the office
building spun like top, and there
strobe into view a man of stately
mien, his eyes partly hidden by the
broad brim of a soft hat, such as a
Southern gentleman wears on the
stage and in Congress. He wore a
dark coat, pure white riding trousers
and black riding boots with spurs
jingling at the heels. 1t was Sen
ator Vardaman.
He stepped to the curb, flung his
leg over his saddle, and, followed
by the eyes of an admiring multitude,
he clattered off toward Potomac
drive.

most unfortunate situation. Flke

one of his friends here says there's
another good thing about it: The
people of Spartanburg have been
complaining that their post office
building is too small, and this friend
says they will certainly have to get
it enlarged now to accommodate
Fixes feet. But he's got big brain,
too, and will make mighty fine
postmaster. We are delighted over
his selection.
