while the gloom that hangs over the
followers Of the University of Pennsyl-

London fog. This situation is a sequel
to the splendid victory of the State
gridiron warriors over the Red and Blue
which has now been writ in history to
the tune of 10 to O.
1t was case of the younger brother
rising in all his might and shifting the

Father Bill Penn. snatching from him
the football birthright. For, though the
victory cannot hoist the Blue and White
forces into the van of claimants for
premier honors Of the season, II sullied
the record of the Red and Blue, forcing
1t to Join the spacious ranks of those
who have taken the count even thus far
in the season.
Weather conditions were abominable
from the standpoint Of both players and
spectators. With the field already
damp and treacherous from earlier rain
a slow drizzle began Just before the
contest opened UP. Prior to the main
attraction a preliminary trick in the way
Of freshman game was offered. and by
the time the cubs finished their little
frolic the field was mess.
Field in Bad Shape.
The additional moisture made bad
matters worse. and by the time the real
show had. been under way for a half
hour two-thirds Of the surface of the
field was mellow and slippery. These
conditions had their part in the feature
happenings Of the game, though there Is
little reason for believing that they cut
any big figure in the ultimate outcome.
Fumbling and poor punting led chiefly
to the critical situations that developed
and did much TO account for THE scoring.
Such conditions paved the way for
fulsome speculation on what might have
been. 1t is rather difficult to figure that
a dry field and more favorable setting
would have encouraged the chances of
either team over that Of the other. State
learned the victory whether the measure
of merit be that of making breaks for
itself or in taking advantage Of those by
their opponents.
In the early stages the Red and Blue

Herald Subscriptions.

In the hurry of other matters, The
Herald has failed this month to mail
notices to subscribers whose subscrip-
tions expire June 1, 1919. This is to
remind such subscribers that in order
MOTTO miss any copies of The Herald
renewals for June 1 subscriptions
should be in our hands not later than
June 4, on which date our mailing
lists will be revised.
The Herald has been cash in ad-
vance since last October. Our friends
will kindly not ask us to carry their
subscriptions unless paid for in ad-
vance. If you have regular charge
account with The Herald, it is agree
able with us to charge your subscrip-
ton, in which case bill for the same
will be presented for payment during
the month.
The cash-in-advance plan has been
found satisfactory indeed. It pre-
vents loss on our part, and at the
same time does not burden any one
with receiving The Herald who does
not want it, yet who may feel a
delicacy in asking us to discontinue
the paper.
Relatively few subscribers papers
expire during the summer months,
but we feel sure if they really want
The Herald, they will not find it
greatly inconvenient to send us the
necessary two dollars for renewal
Kindly bear in mind that mailing
lists will be revised June 4, and if
your renewal is not in our hands on
that date June 1 subscriptions will
be discontinued.

NOTES BY NEW COUNTY AGENT.
Instructions Given for Properly
Spraying Tobacco Plants.

It is noted that a number of farm
ers are planting tobacco for the first
time and they will need advice from
time to time in properly growing the
crop.
Spraying or poisoning the destruc-
tive insects should have begun as
soon as the plants have taken root
and started growing. Quite a number
of worms have been found in the
fields around Bamberg at work on the
tobacco plants.
Spray at once with arsenate of
lead. Follow these directions:
Many growers have found it best
to use the powdered form of the ar
senate of lead, mixing one pound of
arsenate .,of lead to five pounds of
slaked, lime or cheap grade of flour.
Place the mixture in old tomato
cans or similar articles in the bot
tom of which five or six small holes
have been punched.
Hold the small leaves near the bud,
open with one hand and use the
sprinkler to get the poison directly
on the young tender buds. Watch
the effect on the buds and if any in
jury is noticed make it weaker by
adding more slaked lime to the mix
ture. Also dust over the leaves of
the entire plant as the poison has to
be eaten to kill the insects.
1t is best to spray after every rain
or after a heavy dew in the morning
will do to make the powder stick bet
ter.
The liquid form of spraying can be
used if desired For this spray add
one pound of arsenate of lead to so
gallons of water. Two pounds of
lime may be added to the water to
make it stick better. Keep the solu-
tion well agitated.
Be certain to destroy the first crop
of worms and control will be much
easier.
An expert on sweet potato storage
houses, Mr.. A. G. Dibble, of Clemson
college, will visit our county on May
80 and 81. All farmers who have
built or intend building potato houses
are urgently requested to send me
names so that I may bring him to
visit you. Or you may leave your
name and address in the old chamber
of commerce office, where am now
staying, located in rear of the BAN
berg Banking company.
Until 1 can get my car to visit you
I shall be glad to see you at the Of

Birthday Party.

On Monday afternoon of last week
a delightful evening was spent by
a number of little folks at a birthday
party given by Mr.. and Mrs. B. w

terspersed with music delighted the
guests during the evening, fish

their luck at angling, being particu-
larly attractive. A jar of nuts af-
forded cause for guessing contest
in which Master James Carter was
the happy recipient of first prize, a
box of candy.
The home was frightened and
beautified by a profuison of Dorothy
Perkins roses used most effectively
throughout the rooms in bowls and
vases, their beauty. forming st set
ting for happy childish faces, alight
with interest and pleasure.
In the dining room, especially
quantities of these flowers lent their
charm to a table daintily arranged
with a lovely lace center piece
whereon rested the snowy birthday
cake, adorned with 10 pink candles
sprays of pink roses being used as
souvenirs. An Oriental effect was &C,
complished by numerous japanese
lanterns, which shed soft light over
the whole.
Delightful cream and cake were
served, Mrs. Dukes and Mrs. Fields
assisting Mrs. Simmons in entertain
ing and serving the little people.

him many happy returns of the day

METHODISTS GIVE MUCH.
Subscribe $4,000 to Centenary Move
nent-Others Meet Allotment.

The Methodists of Bamberg, in
keeping with the spirit of this COM
munity in all matters where money
has been called for, have gone lover
the top in the Centenary movement.
Up to Wednesday about $4,000 had
been subscribed by local Methodists
to this great fund, and at the windup
it is likely that the final figures will
be considerably in excess of this
amount.
The campaign was officially start
ed here last Sunday. Sunday morning
special services, in the interest of the
campaign, were held at Trinity
church. A number of soliciting teams
had been previously organized. and
an individual canvas was made Sun
day afternoon.
At the night service the result of the
davis work was announced, and it
was found that the church had sub
scribed at that time $1S,555. The
quota for Trinity church was S11,-
419. It. is likely that the quota will
be almost doubled.
Figures are not available for the
county, but it is stated that prac-
tically every church has either reached
or exceeded it's quota in the move
ment. Olar has more than doubled
her quota; Buford's Bridge has sub
scribed it's allotment, and Denmark
has far exceeded her quota. 1t is
also understood that the Bamberg
mills and Embree charges have met
their respective allotments.
The 35,OO0,000 which Southern
Methodists are now engaged in rails
ing has been apportioned to the var
ious work of the church as follows:
