MANNING WARNS FARMERS.
Normal Crop Means 10 Cents Pound,
Saws Former Governor.

Columbia, April THAT Europe
lacks money and credit with which
to buy cotton, and that if the South
plants a full cotton acreage ana
makes normal crop, conditions in
this section will be worse than at the
beginning of the world war in 191 4
is the opinion of former Governor
Manning, of South Carolina, who is
now in France.
A letter received by the chairman
of the South Carolina Cotton associa-
tion yesterday from the former gov
ernor and given out last night sounds
a strong note of warning to the plant
ers of the South. In his letter Gov
ernor Manning said:
II spent some time in New York
and Northern points for the purpose
of making a personal study of the
cotton situation at first hand. The
information gathered at those points
was a revelation to me. The situa-
ton is just this: Europe needs fooo,
Europe needs clothes. She can post
pone buying clothes, but she cannot
postpone buying. food. Europe lacks
both money and credit with which to
buy. Spectators will, of course, buy
cotton as cheaply as possible. Com
petition will be lacking, there beine
no funds for credit for competitors;
the big syndicates will have an open
field. If the South plants full cot
ton acreage and makes even normal
crop she will reap whirlwind. 1t
means eight and ten cents and pCssi-
bly, even lower prices. 1t certainly
means far worse prices and condi-
tions than prevailed in the South just
after the commencement of the world
war in 1914"
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1919-04-10

While we would not pose as judge
of such matters, it appears certain
that the farmers of the South, at
least the majority of them, are in
dead earnest about reducing cotton
acreage and thus increase the price
of cotton. Some men have taken the
stand that the matter of forcing up
the price and the cutting off of the
production of cotton is not right, but
we cannot bring ourselves to see it
in this light. If it were true that to
reduce cotton production would
cause the people of the world to suf-
fer from lack of clothing, we think
that it would not be right; but such
does not appear to be the case. Gov
ernor Manning, who is in Europe,
writes that the people of the war
stricken countries will be unable to
buy cotton this season. This condi-
tion would work against the interests
of the farmers. The planters should
not, and are not, called upon as a
matter of right to grow cotton or
any other crop unless there is an ap-
parent market for the product at
profitable price. There does not now
appear to be such a market for cot
ton this season. If a big crop of cot
ton is grown this year, it will be COB
bled up at a low price by the specu-
lators, who will later sell it at high
prices, when the markets of Europe
open up.

German Potato Bugs.

The way Germany prepared for
a generation for this war was posi-
lively uncanny," said a congress-
man. Eyes, Germany's forty years
of minute preparation is as ,uncanny
as the story of the potato bugs.
ION an autumn evening a group
of Minnesota farmers sat around the
fire in the general store and COM
planned of the potato bugs ravages.
The pests ate my whole potato
crop in two weeks said one farmer.
They ate my crop in two days.
said a second farmer and then they
roasted on the trees to see if I'd
plant more.'"
"A drummer for a seed house
cleared his throat.
Gents he said, all that's very
remarkable. Let me tell you though,
what 1 saw in our own store. I saw
a couple of potato bugs examining
the books about a week before plant
ing time to see who had bought
seed! "-Washington Star.

LEXINGTON DRUGGIST SHOT.
DIR. Rice B. Harmon Wounded by PO-
liceman Harmon.

Lexington, April 6.-Dr. Rice B.
Harmon, head of the Harmon Drug
Co., was shot and dangerously wound
ed late this afternoon by Reuben D.
Harmon, town policeman. The bull
let, 3S calibre, struck the right thigh,
completely shattering the bone. DR..
Harmon was rushed to hospital in
Columbia in an ambulance after be-
ing attended here by DR.. G. F. Rob-
erts, his physician. The shooting oc-
Cured in front of the store of DR..
Harmon and many bystanders were
present and witnessed the occur
renee. DR.. Harmon, it is said, firea
three shots at the policeman, none
of which took effect. While nothing
definite has been learned it is known
that the difficulty happened as di-
rect result of the Sunday blue laws
recently passed by the town council.
The two men first engaged in heat
ed controversy, followed by a fisti-
cuff. DR.. Harmon is small in size
and this, it is stated is why he drew
his weapon. All during the day DR..
Harmon was besieged with persons
wanting prescriptions filled and these
he had accommodated, and had just
walked out of his store, when he en-
countered the policeman, who had
been continually on the watch.
Policeman Harmon was prevented
from shooting further by Hon. Frank
w. Shealey, railroad commissioner,
who happened to be near and who
commanded the officer to cease. DR..
Harmon is widely known. He con-
ducts one of the largest drug estab-
lishments between Columbia and Au-
gusta.
Policeman Harmon is being held
by Sheriff Miller at the county jail
pending the outcome of DR.. Har-
mons injury.

Thursday, April 10, 1919.

Judging from the attendance at
the called meeting of citizens Tues
day afternoon, there must be very
little interest in the city politics of
Bamberg. Only handful of men re-
sponded to the call. This is a mis-
taken attitude on the part of the
people. In our opinion the time has
arrived when Bamberg will either go
forward or backward. There is not
much hopes of the town going for
ward with such lack of interest on
the part of the people. There is the
matter of street paving which the
next city council will be called upon
to work out, and it is very important
that progressive business men be on
the council. There are many other
phases of civic advancement that
should be looked. after, and it would
be folly to fail to elect men who
have the business ability and pro-
gressive ideas to attend to these mat
ters. Inasmuch as it is not likely
that any ticket will have the backing
of citizens meeting, such as was
held two years ago, let the voters
see to it that the proper pressure is
brought upon capable men to offer
their services to the city for the good
of the community.

NEGRO STABS WHITE MAN.
w. NJ. Kirby Seriously Cut by Char.
lie Williams.

W. M. Kirby, foreman at. the Con-
garee Fertilizer Works at Registers
Is patient at the Baptist hospital
suffering from knife wounds inflicted
by Charlie Williams, laborer around
the plant. The knife blade pierced
the right lung and gashes we're made
in several places. DR.. A. E. Shaw
was the first physician to reach the
wounded man and he accompanied
him to the Baptist hospital. The ex-
act extent of the wounds could not
be determined last night, but it was
stated that the man is dangerously
injured.
Constable Palmer and Rural Po-
1ceman Dunaway went to the ferti-
lizer works and arrested Williams
who offered no resistance. The ne
gro made no attempt to escape. From
the best information obtainable it
appears that Kirby saw Williams
working at some point in the plant
and when spoken to by the foreman,
the laborer made some curt remark.
The foreman ordered the negro to
go to another part of the plant.
Words followed which resulted in
Williams slashing Kirby with his
knife. Kirby dealt the negro blow
on the head but that did not stop the
enraged laborer who used the knife
until his boss was severely injured.
Williams was taken to the county
jail for safe keeping. He carries
the marks of two old bullet wounds
on his body.-Columbia State.

Hartsville, April "a deplorable

Rubber Chewing Gum.

The chewing gum material from
Pontianak rubber patented by w. O.
Smelling is stated to result from a
few minutes action of ozone on the
rubber with suitable exposure to the
air afterward. The unpleasant taste
is removed by washing with dilute
caustic soda solution, then with wa
ter, and the product is claimed to re-
semble chicle very closely. A SINH
lar change of the rubber is reported
from hydrogen peroxide.
