COTTON STORAGE.

During the past year, according to
the State warehouse commissioner,
the people of South Carolina have
lost thousands and even hundreds of
thousands of dollars because of mad
equate storage of cotton. An unus-
ual amount of cotton is being held
all over the State for higher prices,
and the greater portion of this cot
ton is not even stored under sheds,
but left out in the open weather. AS
a result, farmers in Bamberg coun-
ty have lost a great deal Of money be-
cause of damaged cotton. Every far
mer should provide himself with prop
or cotton sheds, else store his cotton
in some warehouse. This is an un-
nescessary waste.

SHOOTING OF JAYBIRD.
Officers of Sanderyille (Ga.) Baptist
Church Defend Pastors Action.

The following is the truth about
why and the way in which the jay.
bird was killed at the Baptist church
here, Of which the Rev. w. A. Wray
is pastor, on June 8. A number of er-
roneous reports having been sent the
press throughout America makes the
following statements necessary:
Before and after the Sabbath
school hour every conceivable effort
was made to put the bird out of the
building, but the ceiling being so
high, above the tops of the windows,
it was impossible. AS the squawking
of the bird so interrupted the work
of the Sabbath school, it was thought
best to remove it before the preach
ing hour. During the intermission a
small gun was sent for, which shoots
a cartridge about the size of ones
little finger, loaded with mustard
shot. This gun was placed in an an
te room that it might be used as a
last resort. The bird continued to
squawk as the pastor endeavored to
read the Scripture. It was then fully
realized that the service must either
be dismissed or the bird shot. The
pastor then stated, if the bird con-
tinued to shrek, he would have to
shoot him, though he hated to do So.
This was before the sermon. The
minister did not go to his home after
the gun, but opened the door of the
ante room, secured the gun, shot the
bird. which was in the dome of the
church. The bird was then removed
by a deacon. There was no SMOKE
from. the gun and very little noise,
compared to a shotgun.
The pastor afterward made his
regular announcements, preached,
and took a large collection for Mer-
Ger University.
On the following Sunday, June IS,
the church in conference, by unani-
nous rising vote, signified that the
action Of the pastor in the entire
proceedings was correct and essen
tial for the good of the cause.

OLD COINS ARE UNEARTHED.
Archaeologists Say Phoenicians May
Have Visited California Coast.

Examination by Prof. Oliver NJ.
Washburn of six coins discovered in
canyon of the foothills back of
Berkeley, CAL, and described by him
as being of undoubted antiquity, has
stimulated the belief of archaeologists
that the ruins of an ancient city exist
in that locality. Antiquiarians of the
University of California, where Pro-
fessor Washburn is assistant in the
department of classical archaeology,
favor making excavations in an effort
to determine the existence of impor-
tant evidence as to the early history
of this continent.
The coins were discovered by Ches-
ter K. Frost, an Oakland shipbuilder.
While on trip he was digging in the
canyon when he uncovered a mishap-
en- copper coin. He prosecuted his
work and was rewarded with five
pieces of copper, unquestionably mint
ed by hand, according to Professor
Washburn, and containing inscrip-
tions in Greek and Latin. Two of
the~coins are blackened beyond rec
ognition by the action of elements,
but through their irregular shape
and general mining are described as
antedating the oldest known Roman
coins.
The coins are family embossed
with the facial contours of divirities
or legendaries in tempered copper.
Coin experts advance the opinion
that the material used fixes remote
period of manufacture, because tenn
pered copper in coin manufacture is
more or less forgotten art.
One of the coins is about the size
Of dime and bears certain resemb-
lances to early Phoenician money,
which bore the characteristic en-
bossing of a woman's head.
One version advanced is that the
Berkeley coins were brought to the
California coast by Phoenician colon
lists who preceded the early padres
to the bay. district.

POISONOUS POTASH.

or kainit is strongly condemned by
DR.. A. C. Summers, of the State de-

use of the domestic article will run
into the thousands of dollars in this

to fix the price of potash at an ex-
orbitant figure. Congressman Byrnes
is actively fighting the proposed ac-
tion and he should have the support
of every Southerner in his fight.

THE TOWN AND ROADS.

1t appears to us as being rather un-
Just that the small towns should re-
ceive no benefits from the automobile
license fees. The town people pay,
doubtless, the larger part of the Ii
cense. fees, and yet no incorporated
town is allowed to participate in the
distribution of the funds secured
from this source. We do not claim
that any part of these funds should
be employed in improving streets
which are used entirely as city thor
oughfares, but when a highway runs
through an incorporated town, we
certainly believe that the town should
be assisted in building it's part of
the road.
We have special reference to the
fact that the Columbia-Savannah
highway goes through the heart of
Bamberg, and yet both the county
and federal aid stops at the city linn
it's. It is left to the town alone to
build it's portion of the highway if
it gets built. Bamberg will build it's
link of the road by public subscrip-
ton, and it is very fortunate that the
people of this town are liberal and
public spirited enough to contribute
their money for this purpose.
But this does not alter the princi-
pie. Not all towns are disposed to
do this, even though they are finan-
cially able to undertake it. We know
of many small towns where it is nee
essary to take in a large incorporated
area in order to get enough citizens
to constitute town government. A
highway going through such towns
would take in, generally speaking,
half mile or mile, of road. The usual
cost of building good sand-clay
road is $4,000 to $4,000 per mile.
This places very heavy burden on
a few people in towns, and is, in real
ity, double taxation, because they
have paid their automobile tax like
everybody else, and this tax is used
to build the road up to their town
limits and no farther.
The Columbia-Savannah highway
will be pride to the county, and will
belong to the whole people. 1t is be-
ing built by the county and the fed
eral government. We, therefore, are
the opinion that in order for the
whole county to be benefited by the
road, it should be built through town
and country alike. We suggest that
the necessary legislative action be
taken to remedy.this situation in the
future, and that the State highway
commission be instructed to disre-
gard city limits in constructing coun-
ty highways through small towns or
cities. 49,.

Too Many Commissions.

Referring 10 one of the chief claims
urged in favor Of Governor Lowden oi
Illinois for the Republican nomination
for govcrnor-that he had cleared out one
hundred and forty commissions that bad
bothered his State-the Dover Index says;
Delaware has somc hundred and twenty
seven such commissions, but Governor
Tow1s nd has failed to clean out one OF
them. In fact, the last Legislature added
a few more and the governor approved
the bills.
1t is somewhat unjust TO blame Gov
ernOr Townsend for not cleaning out
some Of the numerous commissions with
which our State administration is pro-
vidcd, MS lac has not the power to do thus.
Tie might have vetoed the bills for n
creasing the number, passed by the legs
lature of 1917. but we do not recall any
definite expression Of public sentiment N
this direction at the time.
However, the Dover Index does ser
vice in calling attention to this matter,
which has assumed proportions that are
beginning to call for relief We have sur
prisiug number of boards and commission
bodies, nearly all of which command ap-
propriations of State money, tho aggrc-
gate of which is considerable. No doubt
Tho next session Of The Legislature viii
receive applications fer the creation Of
more.
1t has been shown, by careful invcstiga-
tion. that these boards and commissions
arc far too numerous The announced
number, one hundred and twcnty-scvcn,
is of ,t+clf somewhat appalling for 50 small
a State as Delaware. Also, it has been
shown that in frequent instances their
duics overlap. s. that the necessity fer a
