France an Inventor Nation.

':Now that the world war has prompted a careful weighing of Ger manys fiamboyant claims to pre-em- thence in Aaarly every scientific field, and found her wanting in many re spects, it is well to inquire more clear ly into the origin of the achievements of human ingenuity which have been boons to mankind" says bulletin from Washington headquarters of the National Geographic Society.
 France, always accounted a literary nation. and now acclaimed more gal lant than the world realized also has to her credit a notable record of sci entific achievement according to a communication to The Society, which says:
 France has given no more direc- tion to the literary aspira tions of mankind than she has to the scientific endeavors of humanity. Go back to the beginnings of science and you will that astronomy has pursued. It was her Pasteur who established the germ theory of disease and through whom the wonderful miracles of saving hu- man life have characterized the past third of a century have been wrought The normal death rate of civilized countries before the days of Pasteuf was about 30 per thousand of popuka tion. Today it is about 15 per thous- and in the more progressive nations.
 Think what the aving of 15 lives a year for every thousand Of popuia- tion means when applied to half the earth. It means the averting of l2.- GOO 0o0 untimely deaths annually It means that more than p 900 900 cases of illness are avoided.

EXPEDITION SHOW WHAT
 EARTH IS MADE OF

Early in October a scientific expedi- tion will arrive in Seattle. Washington. from Alaska. which will bring back information tending to throw addition al light on the dark spot of modern science-what composes hesinside of the earth.
 Announcement is made by. the Ma tional Geogra phic Society, from it's headuuarters at Washington. that the sixth Mt. katmai expedition of The Society is preparing to sail from Kodiak island after many months spent in fruitful scientific study of the uni que and spectacular natural phenon1e- = non known as The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. at the foot of the gigantic Mt. Katmai volcano.
 Not only has the. expedition, headed by Dr. Robert F. Griggs. accumulated ha ppiest anticipation. but according to telegraphic report to The Society, a fine harbor. not previously known, has been found which affords feasible route to. this region of the innuner- able vents Of various kinds which splrt steans and vapors of almost un- believable temperatures.
 The discovery of this harbor is con- sidere6 of marked interest because President Wilson has proclaimed the region of Ten Thousand Smokes ma tioual monument, and it will not be long before this new federal reserva- = ton will be visited by tourists who wish to view a sDecta cle no less awe inspiring than the spouting geysers and other natural wonders of our own N@tinnal parks.

NAvIN PROTESTS AGAINST YANKEES TAKING THIRD MONEY

Frank J.s Navin,. president of the Detroit club of the American league has filed with the National Commis sion "a protest against allowing the members of the Yankees to divide that portion of the. world series spoils assigned to the team finishing third. in the Johnson orga niza ton Navin bases his protest on point of baseball law; he takes the ground that those games which were won by pitcher Carl Mays should be thrown ,oute because of the fact that Mays had been suspended by President Ban Johnson of the American league.
 In this attitude Navin. -fiouts the civil courts, in the opinion of Jacob Ruppert, president of the New York American league club, who issued the following statement recently.
 MT. Navin's protest was filed with the comm iSsion on September 29, and after reciting the fact that the New York club had been pitching Mays after his alleged suspension by Presi- dent Johnson, concluded as follows: If the New York club finishes third in the race for the American pen nant I desire to protest the games in which the player has been used and would like to have the comm iSsion take action Same.''
 "On August 14 the New York club instituted in the circuit court Wayne County, Mich, an action to restrain MT. Johnson, both individually and as president or the league and the De- troit baseball club, from doing cer- tain things, based upon the purported suspension of Mays. On the same date Judge Webster issued an order which still remains in full force and effort, which order, in brief enjoined the Detroit baseball company, it's of fcers, agents, players and employees CD from interfering with the per formances of the contract between the New York club and Mays; CD from refusing to play with the New York club. according to the establish ed schedule, on the ground that Mays had been suspended; (3) from refus- according to the established sched- ule unless Mays was omitted from the team; (D and from playing other established schedule of games in cluding those with the New York club which are a part of the established schedule.
 The Detroit club acquired in the season games to be played though in accordance. with the prescribed schedule, notwithstanding the fact that Mays had pitched in many games after the date of the injunction or der. When the order was issued De- troit was in second place, and not until it had been dislodged from that position and the New York club had won third place, did the Detroit club reserve it's attitude of complete ac- quieseence in the situation created by the injunction order and enter it's pro- test''

S25.OOO.-Other Church Notes.

Last Sunday morning the Bamberg
Baptist church voted to accept the
apportionment of $24,236 as it's allot-
ment of the s75,000,000 campaign
fund to be raised in November. A
church organization will be perfect
ed soon to conduct a canvass Of the
church membership for, the purpose
of raising this allotment, which is
the largest sum of money the church

purpose.
At a recent church conference, the
Baptists voted to increase the salary

PAROLE FOR G. j. HERS.
Bamberg Man Given Respite to Go to
Hospital for Treatment.

Governor Cooper has granted a
parole for six months to George J..
HERS, of this county, who is serv-
ing "a sentence of six years on the
county chain gang for the killing Of
Charlie Kinsey in the town of Ehr-
hardt several years ago. 1t was rep
resented to Governor Cooper that
HERS has been in failing health for
some time, and that the only hope
for him will be treatment in hos
pital. 1t is said that he is suffering
from kidney trouble, and will be car
ried to some hospital for treatment.
Mr.. HERS is a prominent Bamberg
county man. The killing of Kinsey
and the subsequent trial of HERS was
attended by great interest on account
of the prominence of both parties.
HERS was convicted of manslaughter.
His appeal to the supreme court re-
suited in confirmation of the lower
court, and, being given choice be-
tween the State penitentiary and the
county chain gang, he chose the
latter.

LARGE GINNERY BURNED.
Mr.. H. H. kearse Sustained Serious
Loss-Mules and Cotton Burned.

Several days ago the large ginnery
of Mr. H. H. kearse at Olar was
burned to the ground, entailing ali
enormous loss not only to Mr.. kearse,
but to the farmers of the neighbor-
hood. who were depending on the
establishment to gin their cotton.
The fire occurred in the early morn
ing hours. The gin was valued at
about $4,000, and Mr.. Kearse had
no insurance, it is stated. Steps
have been taken to rebuild at once.
New gin outfits have been ordered,
and Mr.. Kearse expects to be ready to
resume operations within the next
three weeks.
Among the losers was Mr.. B. V.
kearse, a large planter of the COM
munity. One of his hands had driv-
en- wagon loaded with cotton to the
gin, and while awaiting his turn
hitched the team under the gin shed
to another wagon load of cotton, and
then went away. During his absence
the fire occurred, and the men around
the gin not knowing the team was
there the mules were burned to
death. The bale of cotton on the
wagon was also burned. Mr.. w. S.
Creech lost two wagons, both loaded
with cotton, and U. G. Milhouse lost
a wagon loaded with bale of cotton.
The engines and boilers were some
what protected from the flames and
can be repaired, it is stated. All of
the gins and outfit were a complete
loss.
AS soon as the place had cooled off,
Mr.. Kearse began preparations to.
rebuild. A cement floor has already
been put down. He owns his own
saw mill, has carpenters, etc., which
will enable him to replace the burned
structure Immediately, and thus re-
lieve the cotton situation in his COM
munity. Many of the farmers are
compelled to store their cotton in the
seed and await the rebuilding of the
gin, or haul their product MAN. miles
to another ginnery. -

Negro in Stripes and Shackles Causes
Excitement at Hunters Chapel.

Negro in Stripes and Shackles Causes
:, Excitement at Hunters Chapel.
y Considerable excitement was caus-
ed in the Hunters Chapel neighbor-
hood a few days ago, when a negro
dressed in stripes, and wearing shack
les was seen in the community. The
identity of the negro is not known,
and so far as learned there had been
no convict to escape from any of the
fchain gangs in this section. The ne
gro came to the house of colored
resident of the community. Only
women and children were> at home
at the time, and they immediately
left post haste. Going to the home
of some of the white people Of the
neighborhood they reported the oc-
\currence and the white men went to
the house and looked the premises
over, but found no trace of the man.
The convict was seen by others in
the community later on. but subse-
quent searches have not been sue
cessful. 1t is presumed that the man
went to the house in search of food,
and no violence was offered by him.
