Carlisle Catalogue Out.
0. R. BRIGGS,
County Agent.

The 1918-1919 catalogue of Car
Isle school has just been issued from
the presses of The Bamberg Herald,
and is now being mailed out. The
catalogue this year is decidedly the
most attractive that Carlisle has yet
issued. 1t is generously illustrated
with many attractive views of the
school campus and buildings and the
cadets. The book is printed on heavy
enamel paper in two colors, with a
specially designed cover in colors.
Every line of the catalogue was print
ed in The Herald Office, and we have
been told that there are very few
printing Offices in the State which
can execute work of the same quail
ty. AS only a limited edition of the
catalogue was printed, prospective
students of the school who desire a
copy will do we'll to write to Head
master Guilds at once for one.

Saws ESSie Davis Not Elected.

A few weeks ago P. ]. Davis re-
quested The Herald to state that his
daughter, Essie Davis, had been
elected teacher of the Colston colored
school next session. Now comes E.
W. Wright, who says that he is a
patron of the Colston colored school,
and asks The Herald to state that
Essie Davis has not been elected
teacher of that school. In fact, says
Wright, there was meeting of the
patrons of the school on the same
day the school closed at which it was
decided not to elect her teacher the
next session. The Herald has no in
terest in this matter, but simply
makes this statement at the request
of Wright, who is, so far as we know,
a responsible colored man. The col
ored trustees of this school are NJ. c.
Halyard, Jesse Gray and Rivers Kirk
land.

Liquor Raid at Denmark.

Sheriff Ray, made a raid on the
premises of Henry Stukes, colored, in
Denmark Monday and found quart
and a pint of blind tiger liquor and
also some ''mash," all of which was
confscated. The still could not be
located. Stukes was placed under
bond for appearance in court Oh the
charge of violating the prohibition
law. The sheriff was just in time also
to see another negro come out of the
house. Calling for assistance, the
negro was apprehended and it was
found that he had a pint of similar
liquor in his possession. Being
pressed for an explanation, he &C
knowledged that he had bought the
stuff from Stukes, paying him SO
cents for it. Stukes Is, therefore, also
charged with selling whiskey. A
charge of storing is also made agains'
him. He was first tried before the
mayor of Denmark, who levied fine
of 500. He will now be turned ovel
to the State court for trial, and per
haps to the federal court.

THIRTEEN MILLS LEVY.
Bamberg School Patrons Met Monday.
Provides for Better Salaries.

At the annual meeting of the pa
irons of the Bamberg school district
Monday. the school levy for the en-
suing year was fixed at 13 mills. This
is an increase of two mills, and the
increase was necessitated for paying
the teachers an increase in salary and
for the further reason that the dis
trict is now overdrawn some Sl,3OO
for expenses of the present session.
Mr.. C. w. Rentz was made chair
man of the meeting and Mr.. G. o.
Simmons secretary. 1t was explained
that the present levy of II mills did
not raise sufficient taxes to conduct
the school; that every other line of
business had increased in cost, and
that an increase in the levy was abb
solutely necessary.
It was unanimously decided to in
crease the levy. This new levy will
allow the teachers an increase in
their salaries, and will take care OF
the deficit in the district at the pres
ent time.
Mr.. J. NJ. Grimes was elected trus-
tee to succeed himself for the 5-year
term. Mr.. Grimes succeeded Mr..
Thomas Black, upon the death of the
latter last fall.

A Memory of Long Ago.

The other day while Mr.. W. H.
Chandler was having some excavat-
ing done in front of his place OF
business to install a gasoline station
a reminder of by-gone days was seen
in the shape of a pine log. The log
was encountered about three feet un-
derground, and was in a fairly good
state of preservation.
The sight of the old pine log
served to. start the old-timers to tell
ing about days of long ago in BAN
berg. Some of them remembered
when there was a cedar pond on WI at
is now the business portion of Main
street. Others remembered hearing
their fathers tell about it. The log
has evidently lain in the ground since
the water covered this section of the
street, inasmuch as it was surround
ed by mud and trash usually found in
ponds.
Some of the more bold ones tell
about fishing on Main street; in fact,
some of our old residents tell some
regular fish tales about it. 1t is said
to be a fact, however, that there was
small pond at this place; whether
there were fish in If or not this scribe
cannot state.

Notes From County Agent.

Kill the horn worms which are
eating your tobacco leaves by spray
ing with arsenate of lead, using one
to two pounds of the arsenate of lead
to so gallons of water. Add two
pounds of lime to the solution to
help make it stick.
If you haven't spraying outfit
you can get little bellows dry pow
der gun for 50 or less. The dry or
powdered form of arsenate of lead is
used in this gun and one pound of
the arsenate of lead may be mixed
with three or four pounds of slaked
lime or a cheap grade of flour.
Be certain to cover all the leaves.
Many worms were found in a field
where only part of the leaves on each
plant were covered.
Plan now to have plenty of for
age and other feed for your animals
this fall.
You still have time to plant more
velvet beans, soy beans, peanuts and
cowpeas. Remember that they will
help to build up your land as well
as furnish good feed, as they are
legumes and secure their nitrogen
from the air.
Make your yields of velvet and soy
beans greater by inoculating with
bacteria. If your soil is not already
inoculated write to me and I will
help you to get the bacteria.
Also plant sufficient acreage of
pop corn, sorghum and sudan grass
for feeding, and plenty of sweet po-
tatoes.
Remember that the greatly feared
enemy, the boil weevil, may soon
cause damage and if you change to
hog raising you must have plenty of
food for them.

BAMBERG GETS BIG TRUCKS.
Two 3-Ton Heavy Trucks Allotted tt
County by Government.

The State highway commission has
been notified by the federal bureau
of roads that 79 of the 296 motor
trucks which are to be turned over
to the commission are ready for ship
ment. The State highway commission
has instructed the bureau of public
roads to have two 3-ton heavy avia-
tion trucks shipped from Baltimore
to Bamberg. The trucks will be
turned over to the road authorities
of Bamberg county for use in main
timing or constructing roads built In
whole or in part with federal aid.
Counties which have made no pro-
vision to use federal aid in construct
ing roads or bridges cannot under the
federal law share in the distribution
of trucks from the federal bureau OF
public works. These trucks are part
of the surplus war equipment built
by Uncle Sam for use in whipping
the Huns. An act of the last con-
gress instructed the secretary of war
to turn over to the secretary Of agri-
culture for distribution to the State
highway commissions, though the
federal bureau of public roads, all
surplus war equipment, including
trucks. 1t is expected that South
Carolina will get a good deal more
road building equipment and supplies
besides the 296 trucks which have
been given to it.

Almost Reached Quota.

Mr.. Louis G. Poliakoff requests
The Herald to thank the people of
the county for their generous re-
sponse to the appeal for the Jewish
relief fund. The total amount Sc
cured in the canvas was s1,912.02.
The quota was $4,000, so it will be
seen that the amount raised lacked
only a few dollars of meeting the
county's allotment.

the Town and County.

The following men have been dis
CHARGED from the army at camp

The Herald has just received an
order for some printed stationery
from a business firm in Florence. The
quality of our printing lasts long att
er the price is forgotten, and we are
known all over the State.
A large number of local Pythlans
went to Columbia Tuesday afternoon
to witness the comforting of the third
rank in amplified form by one of the
Charleston lodges at the grand lodge
meeting, returning Wednesday morn
ing. Two candidates from Bamberg
received the degree in Columbia.
The streets of Bamberg have re-
Gently been worked by the county

X. of P. lodge was perhaps the most
remarkable ever presented by a lodge

since January /, about 40 of whom
were added by initiation. The lodge
has increased it's membership within
four months more than so per cent.

Ehrhardt claims to have overpaid
her quota, but we have failed to find
her credited for same both in the Co.
lumbia and New York offices. I have
urged them to get their credits
straight so that they and our county
can get credit for their contributions.
If we fail to raise this money, we will
not only have the stigma of "failure'
on our communities and churches,
but we will have the starvation of
human souls charged up to us above,
and many of them believers in our
Christ. This is the last week of our
campaign. Act now.
