Tobacco, Peanuts and Cotton for 1918

Editors Bamberg Herald: l am
not practical farmer, nor am L a
prophet, but it appears to me that
this is an opportune time for the
farmers to diversity their crops; es-
pecially so in view of the anticipated
coming of the boil weevil and the
lack of potash. We can not expect a
erop of cotton in 1918 without pot
ash and with potash We can't have
5 q full crop if the weevil comes. would
il not be better to forestall these Mn
ORANGES by planting some cotton
some peanuts and some tobacco IN
1872 We have somo as good to-
hacco land as can be found within
the borders of South Carolina, and
if farmers will agree to plant say five
acres each l am satisfied that the
merchants will build a warehouse that
wa may have a ready market Tor
what we make. In conversation re-
Gently with a farmer from Williams
burg county, was told that in one
small town in the county the
farmers had on deposit more than
$4,000, 100000, and that the banks
were refusing to pay interest on de-
posits.
The peanut industry has proven
successful in Virginia and other
states and, while it may not be gen
orally knewn, there are more peanuts
raisea~in Bamberg county than in any
otfier county in South Carolina. Any
of our sandy lands with some land
plaster will raise 40 to 80 bushels
per acre, and these peanuts Will readl-
" bring $500 to $3.50 per bushel IN
the markets.
If the farmers would agree to plant
saw 10 acres each next year, l am
satisfied our ginneries will install the
tbra shing machines and will also put
in the machinery to use the peanuts
here.
Some planters think no money can
he obtained from the banks except
unon cotton as collateral. | am con-
fdent that either Of our banks here
will cooperate with the farmers look
ing to an early diversification OF
crops. If can be Of any service to
those interested, shall be pleased to
do all can to help them and our
county in getting on the proper basis.
0on't spend all of your money eX-
nectins a big cotton crop next year.
for YOU will be sadly disappointed.
Yours truly, II. NJ. GRAHAM.

eson county in particular and to the
people of the State of North Carolina
in general.
I will say, in the first place, that I
am deeply interested in the welfare
of the Cherokee Indians, of which
race l am a member, and l have al
ways done and will continue to do all
within my power for the education
al, industrial and agricultural ad-
vancement of the people of my race.
No man can succeed in this day and
time who is not mentally prepared for
the battle of life And unless there
are better school facilities for the
Cherokee Indians there is no chance
in the world for them to make very
much advancement. The question
arises in the minds of thoughtful
men: "Can the State of North Caro-
lima afford to neglect these people?
Is it not much better to assist them
and thereby make better citizens out
of them than it is to be neglect them
and thereby bring reproach upon the
fair name of the State"?
This great world war has offered
the Cherokee Indians of this and adj
joining counties an opportunity to
show exactly where they stand when
their country's very existence is
threatened. l want to say this, and
| do not say it boastfully, that there
are no more loyal people in the Unit
ed States of America today than the
| members Of the Cherokee tribe of
Robson county, North Carolina. They
have ever been faithful to their coun-
| ty, State and nation. Robson coun-
| ty has already contributed about IS
| boys for the training camps, and will
unquestionably be called on for many
more. And there is no better evil
dence of ones devotion to his coun-
try than that he is willing to lay
down his life for the flag that gives
him protection. And again I will say
that the Indians of Robson county
are going to these training camps
willingly and freely and with a com
mon purpose to give their country the
very best that is in them. But it
is sad to me that these very boys who
are glad to thus serve their flag can
not write to the folks at home. A
the advantage of an education, and il
is pitiful that while away from home
and loved ones they have to depend
ones at home. We need more and bet
ter schools and let us hope that thu
Cherokee Indians of this county will
so conduct themselves that when Thu
great war is at an end the countr.
they have served SO unselfishly will
recognize that they are worthy O
assistance and will give it.
And one other thing I want to sa,
is this: But very few of our peopl
!. know that the State has made no pro
| vision for the treatment of those O
| our race who are insane No appro
! priation has ever been made for tax
ing care of these unfortunate people
| believe that the time will come whe
the people of this State will under
stand our needs and come to our a;
sistance.

PLANS FOR TRAINING ARMY
Readjustments of Forces at Is of
the Is Cantonments.

Washington Dispatch, Oct. 9.
Orders issued today to command
ers of national army environments dis
close the War Departments complete
plans for the training and organiza-
ton of the first half-n1illion men Cf
the national army.
Shortage Of men in three nation
al guard divisions in the South, the
Goth, 31st and 18th, coupled with
decision to form new national army
division of negro troops has made
necessary a readjustment of the forces
at Is of the Is environments. The
geographical completion of three ma
tional army divisions will be changed
entirely as result.
General Bliss, chief of staff, issued
this explanation:
''The selected men that are now
being gathered into the Is national
army cantonments will be used to
form the first force of 100000 men
authorized in the act of Congre ap-
proved May IS, 1917, and to fill up
the national guard divisions to prac-
tically the maximum strength of the
new organization. The balance of the
687, 900 selected men will be used to
! supplement the voluntary enlistments
for the special and technical troops
that are an important part Of the or
ganization Of a modern army. It is
expected that the voluntary enlist
ments for the regular army will be
enough to keep that branch Of the ma
tons forces filled up to strength
without transferring men to it from
the first selection for the national
army.
''The force of 100000 men will be
organized into 16 white divisions and
one colored division. One white di-
vision will be organized at each of
the. 16 national army environments,
and the units of the colored division
will be organized at the various can
tonments where the number of color
ed troops is sufficient to organize a
divisional unit.
