Planted Celery This Year.

Mr.. J. w. Hill, one of the countys
most progressive farmers, made an
experiment this year with celery. He
planted about three-fourths of an
acre on his plantation near the city
in celery this spring. The expert
ment is described as a, decided sue
cess, Notwithstanding the fact that
the growing of celery is something
entirely new to this section. 1t is
stated that the celery grew equally
as we'll here as in Florida. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Hill will elaborate
on the experiment next year, and
plant a considerable acreage in Gel

Byrnes at the White House.

Last Friday, when President Will
son signed the good roads bill, re-
Gently enacted by congress into law,
one of those invited to be present
was Congressman James F. Byrnes.
This was a distinct recognition of
Mr. Byrnes's efforts in behalf of the
good roads bill, as there were only
a favored few invited by the presi-
dent. Mr.. Byrnes did some excellent
work on this measure, and was re-
sponsible in a large measure for the
bills passage. When it looked as if
the bill would be lost because of so
many different measures being offer
ed, it was Byrnes who corralled the
different members who wanted their
pet measures passed and Influenced
them to settle upon one measure and
lend their support to this one bill.
This suggestion was carried out, with
the result that the bill was enacted
at this session. Mr.. Byrnes was one
of the staunchest advocates of the
measure and worked necessarily for
it's passage. The president said,
when he signed the act, that he did
so with a great deal of satisfaction
because he believed it would very
materially assist the agricultural in
terests of the country, and that it
was the best compromise that could
have been obtained in the conflict
among the various theories as to the
best method of extending the federal
governments aid.

Rev. w. R. Mcmillan, pastor of
the Baptist church, left Monday
morning for a months vacation. Mr..
Mcmillan will return in time to con-
duct services on the fourth Sunday

sence. While this is the Baptist pas
tors annual vacation, he will not re-
ceive much rest, as he will put in
practically his entire vacation in
evangelistic work. This week he is

This Weeks Weather.

According to the weather bureaus
weekly forecast, the temperatures
this week will average near or above
the seasonal normal in the Southeast
ern States. Unsettled weather with
frequent showers are forecasted for
the South Atlantic and East Gulf
States. So the people of Bamberg
county may not be surprised if they
see more rain during the remainder
of the week. But it is to be hoped
the weather man is wrong-as he
frequently is. =

SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.

The Bamberg- baseball
game at Fairfax last Friday night had
to be called off on account of rain.
The rain has ceased to pour in tor
rents, it seems. There have been
several days now that it has not
rained.
Rev. Jonas Barclay, pastor of the
PRESBYTERIAN church, conducted SER
vices in the city last Sunday morning
and evening.
CONGRESSMAN Byrnes has been ask
ed to assist the national Democratic
party this fall. Mr. Byrnes has con-
scented to spend about two weeks in
speech making through the North.
The Herald stands indebted to
Miss George Emma Jordan for her
kindness in providing us with: a copy
of the issue of May 2Sth, 1914. AS
we need no further copies of this is
sue, our friends are asked not to
send any more copies.
.Mr. J. H. Carter, of Ehrhardt, who
was in the city Monday, said that the
crops in his section were fine, and
that unless something happened to
set cotton back splendid crop would
be harvested this fall. While the
rain has been excessive, Mr.. Carter
does not think that cotton has been
damaged much as yet.
Mr.. James T. Burch, of Florence,
who spent Sunday and Monday in the
city, stated that some of the streets
of Florence, where there was rain
fall of more than IA inches in 36
hours, were waist deep in water last
Friday. It was the hardest rain, he
stated, that probably has ever fallen
in that part of the State.
Some time Saturday night a mule
belonging to Mr.. H. G. Folk escaped
from his stable and wandered on to
the railroad track He was found
next morning with a great cash cut
into his hip, and several other cuts
and bruises on the body. It is pre-
sumed that the animal was struck by
a train passing during the night.
Mr.. C. E. Black, who left Saturday
to go to Waynesville, N. c., to spend
two weeks with his family, who are
spending the summer there, returned
to the city Monday night, being un-
able to reach his destination. When
Mr.. Black reached Spartanburg he
found that all train service to North
Carolina had been suspended on &C
count of the food.
A good indication Of the growth
OF Bamberg is the present need OF
houses. One gentleman says he be-
1ieves that no less than twenty-five
houses could be rented in the town
at this time. One gentleman has
said that he will probably build some
cottages in the near future. Who's
next? Come forward, gentlemen, we
must have houses if we want the pep
ple to come to Bamberg.

 Two years ago the President spent the holiday season in Pass Christian, Miss, and last year there was no New Years celebration at the White House.

CODY WRITES ID BANKERS URGING
 STATE BOND ISSUE
Says Increase in Taxes or Borrowing of Money Of- fer Only Other Means
 of Meeting Situation

Montgomery, December 31.-(Special) Declaring he knows of only two ways by which the state can meet it's large deficit-either by largely increasing it's revenues, which means more taxes, or by borrowing the money, as is provided by the proposed short term bond issue Michael Cody chairman of the state bond issue committee, has written let ter to all the bankers of Alabama asking their support of the constitutional amend ment.
 T have an abiding confidence in the bankers of Alabama'' said Chairman Cody in his letter. "They are the mould CTS of business thought in their communi- ties, and second to none in loyalty as citizens of this commonwealth, and feel assured of your support
 Chairman Cody declared a favorable sentiment was crystallizing in all sections in support of the bond issue, and stated that through the efforts of the bankers much good could be accomplished. Follow ing is his letter.
 T am advised by the auditor and treas urer that the state of Alabama owes about $2,300, 000,00Q in excess of it's pros- pective revenues. We all agree that this condition should not have been, but it is not now a question as to who is respon- slble. The debts exist and must be paid, and all loyal citizens who are actuated by real. abiding love of their state, rather than by prejudice or personal or factional interests, should unite in the pa triotic purpose to preserve the good name and credit of Alabama
 T know of only two ways bV which the state can meet this deficit, either by largely increasing it's revenues, which means more taxes, and which have to come from the pockets of the people, or by borrowing the money, and with eco- nomical management paying back cer- tam part each year, until the whole debt is paid, as is provided by the short time bond issue. This is no time to even think of increasing taxes. Nor can we afford to have the efficiency of our schools impaired, worthy old soldiers un- paid, or the state discredited by it's war rants being sold at discount.
 T have an abiding confidence in the bankerS of Alabama. They are the moulders of business thought in their communities are second to none in loy- atty as citizens and 1 am actuated by no personal aspirations, and no hope of re- ward other than that which comes to the people of progressive and pros- porous state. A favorable sentiment is fast crystallizing in all sections. The voters need only to be informed and you and your associates can be of great help. am writing to ask that you please join with me in a vigorous daily advocacy of the proposed bond issue and will ap- preciate your reply indicating that you will actively cooperate with us in this patriotic work.

 No comment was made by the President on news dispatches saying Austria Hun gary had made a favorable reply to the second note of the United States regard ing the sinking of the liner Ancona. It is understood however, that the situation growing out of the Ancona incident is regarded as having cleared up to such an extent that Secretary Lansing will not make trip here, and the President probably will not return to Washing ton before the middle of next week.

Favorable Report on
 the Mineral Land Bill

Washington, December 31-The admins | tration bill for leasing of public mineral lands was today ordered favorably re- ported to the House by the public lands committee. The committee, however, agreed to a hearing of California oil in- terests about January 10 with view to whether the committee shall offer amendments on the floor for the relief of the companies and individuals who developed oil on the San Joaquin valley lands prior to the decision of the supreme court, which upheld the Presi- dents withdrawal of the lands on which they were located The provisions af- fecting those millions of dollars worth of oil lands remain in the reported bill substantially as in the measures passed
 by the House in the last Congress.
