FEEDING BEEF CATTLE.
MIR. H. H. Stokes Making Interesting
Experiment Here.

If you want to see some square,
blocky beef cattle that will make
your mouth water for good juicy,
tender steak, just go out to Mr.. Hen
ry H. Stokes's farm about two miles
from town.
Mr. Stokes is carrying on beef
cattle experiment under the direction
of experts of the extension division
of Clemson college. These cattle,
grade Shorthorn and Aberdeen-An-
gus, were purchased in the mountains
of Tennessee about two months ago
by the beef cattle specialist of Glenn
son and shipped to Mr.. Stokes.
When they arrived they we're rath-
er lank and lean, but on last We'd
nesday they showed great deal of
flesh taken on and looked good en-
ough for any butcher, but they are
not yet finished for marketing. On
this date the beef cattle specialist
was present and half dozen inter-
ested farmers to find out what feeds
and amounts were used and what was
recommended in the continuation of
this feeding experiment.
At the beginning, Mr.. Stokes turn
ed the cattle out into the cornfelds
containing velvet beans, cowpeas,
grass, etc., for two or three hours
day and also fed in stall small
amount of cottonseed meal and con-
siderable hulls. The meal and bulls
were gradually increased until they
are no longer turned into the corn
fields, but are fed five pounds of cot
tonseed meal and all the hulls they
can eat. Plenty of water and salt is
provided at all times. Within the
next sixty days maximum of nine
pounds of cottonseed meal with all
the hulls they can eat will be fed
each animal
Besides the gain which they are
expected to make, Mr.. Stokes will
have large amount of very desira-
Bile compost for use on the farm.
If you have not seen these cattle
you should do so. 1t will make you
want to feed some cattle next year.
Just before time for shipping Gin Feb
ruary, perhaps) Mr.. Sheely will be
here again when all the farmers in
terested in feeding cattle will be in
vited to visit this farm to see the cat
tie and ask anything they want to
know about the feeding.

HAS BOTH HOGS AND DOGS.
However, the Porkers Predominate
in Bamberg County.

The returns throughout the various
counties of the state for the payment
of taxes on cattle, hogs. dogs and
automobiles furnish some interest
ing figures. Orangeburg is the only
county in the state which has not
vet reported. Taxes paid on these
items materially help the school fund.
The returns indicate a considerable
increase in hogs and cattle for the
state as whole over last year, while
the number of dogs on which taxes
ara paid remains about the same for
1919 as in 1918, and the figures
show a marked decrease in automo-
biles for the current year. Bamberg
county is we'll up in the list as to the
raising of hogs, reports about It's
pro rata share of dogs, is far down
the line in cattle raising, and stands
ahead of all other counties in its pro-
nortionate number of automobiles.
Cherokee, Darlington and Lexington
are about the only counties in which
enough sheep are raised to amount
to anything. The figures for Bamoerg
and adjoining counties, with the ex-
ception of Orangeburg, yet unreport-
ed. for the year 1919, on cattle hogs
dogs and automobiles are as follows:

IN MEMORIAM.
Little Dorothy Kearse, December 2:s,
1918.

Just one year ago, Dorothy enter
ed Heaven in time to join the angel
throng in their joyful songs of praise
for the birth of Jesus Christ. She
must have felt that her Savior was
near her for she sang her little songs
telling of her love for Him even un-
to the end. What a glorious Christ
mas day it was for her when she
awakened in Heaven! So gentle and
kind, God, in His tender mercy, took
her away from this world of sorrow
and sin that she might be spared
troubles and sadness which human
eyes could not foresee. Just beyond
the "broad. beautiful gates" which
only little children and Gods redeem
ed ones can enter, she found our
sainted grandmother, who loved all
children. but Dorothy especially,
waiting to welcome her.
Now she IS waiting, ready to re-
ceive her loved ones who miss her
more and more ea@h day, but who
know that they shall surely see her
again.

To Discharged Soldiers.

Editor The Herald: d:-Under an act
of congress every enlisted man in the
American army in the recent war was
entitled, upon honorable discharge
and return to civilian life, to per-
manently retain the following prop
ty:
One overseas cap (for all enlisted
men who have had service overseas) :,
or one hat and one hat cord for all
other enlisted men; one olive drab
shirt, one service coat and orna-
ments, one pair breeches, one pair
shoes, one pair leggins, one barrack
bag, three scarlet chevrons, one waist
belt, one set toilet articles (if in po-
session when discharged), one slick
er, one overcoat, two suits under
wear, four pair stockings, one pair
gloves, one gas mask and helmet( if
issued overseas.)
If any soldier did not secure, all
of the above property on discharge,
he is now entitled to receive it, Up
on request of any soldier I will send
the necessary blank to be filled out
to enable him to obtain any prop
erty which was not given to him upon
his discharge. Officers and enlisted
men who have returned the gas mask
or helmet may make similar appl:-
cation for these articles that they
may be issued if available.
Under the same act of congress,
each enlisted man honorably dis
charged since November II, 1918,
and before the passage Of the act on
February %, 1919, is entitled to five
cents per mile from the place of his
discharge to his actual residence;
and if he did not receive this mile
age upon his discharge, he may OBJ
tain it upon filing proper applica-
tion.
would appreciate it if you would
publish this letter in your paper, Civ
ing the soldiers this information, as
1 am confident a great many upon
their discharge did not secure the
full equipment to which they are en-
titled, and I desire to obtain for them
any articles above enumerated which
they failed to receive.

Allendale Minister Strict.

In a recent issue the Allendaie Sem
tinel publishes the following state
ment of his position from the Rev.
Rufus Morgan in regard to the per-
forming of marriage ceremonies:
"The reason did not perform the
marriage ceremony for the couple as
. reported in the Sentinel two weeks
ago is this
"The church's part in such cere-
mony is to pronounce Gods blessing
on the couple who are to live toge-
ther as man and wife If it is to be
more than empty form, the church's
representative (the minister) should
try to avoid pronounc:ng a blessing
upon anything which, according to
Gods laws, cannot but be a curse.
''In following such precaution
make some very simple rules.
Il. l require certificate from a
reputable physician that the appli-
cant is free from venereal disease, or
any disease which will bring a curse
upon the couple or their offspring.
"2. I require adequate notice to
allow me to investigate the character
and former life of the applicants.
"3. Of course I do not perform
the ceremony for any divorced per-
son.
"These shauld be laws Of the state
as well as laws of the church. So
far they are laws of neither. So I
make the rules for my ministrations
for the sake of the present and COM
Ing generations.

WROTE INSULTING LETTER.
Ehrhardt Negro Alleged to Have In
suited White Woman.

A sensational affair was brought
to light in this county last week
when Sheriff S. G. Ray was notified
to hurry to Ehrhardt to take charge
of a negro man named. Jerry Young,
a contractor there The sheriff was
told that he must get there quickly
or the negro would be lynched. He
accordingly proceeded to Ehrhardt
at once and Young is now in the
Bamberg county Jail.
1t is charged that this man wrote
an insulting letter to well known
white woman, the wife Of promi-
nent citizen of Ehrhardt, stating that
he was making lots of money and
making suggestions and hints as to
his desires for immoral relations. The
letter was sent through the United
States mails, having been posted at
Florence and received at Ehrhardt.
No name was signed to the commu-
nication, but the lady promptly de-
livered it to her husband, and an in
vestigation was begun. Other in
struments written by this negro were
compared with the letter. and the
handwriting along with other circum-
stances pointed to his guilt, although
he denies any knowledge whatever
with the matter. 1t seems that there
is no state law to impose a penalty
upon one for committing such an Of
fence, and consequently postoffice
inspector has been requested to come
to Bamberg so that the matter can
be handled through the federal au-
thorities, and full justice dealt out
to the writer of the letter.

DEATH OF MRS. E. F. FREE.
Well Known Young Matron of Ban,'
berg Passed Away Thursday.

1t seems that when death lays it's
cold hand upon Bamberg it usually
takes away two or more of our peo-
pie. About one o'clock last Thurs
day morning Mrs. Gussie Kennedy
Free, wife Of Mr.. E. F. Free, of this
city, jpassed away at the Baker sani-
tarium in Charleston. Mrs. Free had
been in poor health for some time
past, but it had been thought that
she would soon recover from her ILL
ness. Several weeks ago she had
undergone an operation at the hos
pital in Charleston, and had returned
home much improved. However, it
was discovered that another opera
tion would be necessary, and on We'd
nesday morning she was again car
ried to the hospital. The second one
was performed from which she rallied
and regained consciousness, but her
improvement was short, and death
claimed it's victim during the night.
The deceased was the daughter of
Susan NJ and Holland M. Kennedy,
of Govan. She is survived by her
mother, but her fathers death oc-
Cured at Govan several months ago.
Mrs. Free was a devoted member of
the Baptist church and had led a
consecrated Christian life, and was
a lovable, splendid woman. She was
buried Thursday afternoon at
Georges Creek Baptist church near
Govan. A number of relatives and
friends from Bamberg attended the
funeral, the services being conducted
by her pastor, the Rev. Geo. P. White
of the Bamberg Baptist church.
In addition to her husband, Mrs.
Free left to mourn her death three
children, Daisy, Mary Louise and En-
nest, little boy about four years
old. The entire community deeply
sympathizes with them in their great
loss.

HENRY NOW ENJOYS
PERFECT HEALTH.
Ferrolax Quickly Overcomes His
Troubles-Feels Fine ALI
the Time.

One of the noteworthy features in
connection with FERROLAX, and one
that stands out more prominently
than any other, is. the large number
of men and women from different
parts of the South who have recently
reported astonishing results from its
use.
One of the most recent to testify
to the good results obtained from US
ing FERROLAX, is Mr.. c. D. Henry,
who lives at 269 Lake avenue, At
lanta, Ga. While in conversation
with FERROLAX representative .
few days ago, Mr.. Henry said:
fFor several years I suffered with
indigestion and stomach trouble. Not
being able to eat the substantial food
I needed to keep me going, I became
badly rundown. I felt tired and
worn out all the time, and my blood
was not as healthy as it should be.
After taking many other medicines
without getting any relief, I COM
menced taking FERROLAX, and I
just want to say right here that be-
fore I had finished my first bottle Of
medicine I knew that I had struck
the right thing at last.
Well, to make long story short,
FERROLAX fixed me up all right,
and I am now enjoying the best OF
health. I am free from indigestion
and stomach trouble, and never suf-
fered a particle from constipation. I
have plenty good, rich, red blood in
my veins now and 1 just feel fine all
the time. / gladly recommend FER
ROLAX to everybody.
