TOBACCO CROP BOOSTS
BAMBERG LAND PRICES

Bamberg, Sept. 12-That Bamberg
county has made an enviable record
in the matter of tobacco growing is
evidenced by the fact that there is
strong demand here for lands on
which to grow the weed" Monday
morning a party of gentlemen from
Timmonsville, 4 tobacco growing sec
ton, came to Bamberg for the pur-
pose of investigating lands here with
view to purchasing farms. A few
days ago another gentleman from
Timmonsville closed a deal here for
the purchase of large farm, his
purpose being to grow tobacco.
This demand for tobacco lands in
Bamberg county has resulted from
the success attained by the growers

Of Commissioners and make the fol-
lowing recommendation.
(a) We recommend that the Com
missioners dispense with the service
OF the Supervisor Of the said County
and hire d competent foreman of the
Chain Gang who in turn can super
wise the county road work as done
by the chain gang.
(b) We recommend that the COM
missioners use a more conservative
basis of buying supplies for the
County, also machinery such as Motor
Trucks, Tractors and material for
construction work. Money has been
spent too freely.
(c) We recommend that the Coun-
ty Board of Commissioners maintain
AN office in the Court House, and
that the County Board hold their
monthly meetings at the Court
House.
(d) We recommend that the Coun-
ty Delegation improve, and maintain
sufficient fund for the main
tainance of the Court House and
grounds. 1t is evident that the
grounds and building has been sadly
neglected.
In conclusion we desire to express
to the Solicitor our appreciation for
the many services that he has rem
dered our body during the present
term of court and the advice that he
has given us from time to time in
handling some difficult matters that
have necessarily come before this
body.
We also desire to express to the
Presiding Judge our appreciation for
the courtesy. shown us by him, and
We desire to commend both the Judge
and the Solicitor for the manner in
which the business Of the court has
been dispatched.
Respectfully submitted,
w. A. BLIZZARD,
Foreman.

two years. Tobacco was first cultivat-
ed here last year. Then about 100
acres were planted in this crop, re-
sulting in fine profit to the grow
ers. The acreage was increased this
year to some six or seven hundred
acres. and while the profit realized
this season was not so great as last
year, a splendid profit was made by
most of the planters.
The interest of the Pee Dee tobacco
growers in Bamberg, however. was
caused by the excellent showing made
by local dealers in the Pee Dee mar
kets. As there is no market in Bam--
berg, all of the tobacco was shipped
to other markets, principally to Null
Inns. Florence, Timmonsville and pos
sibly other Peel Dee towns. Local to-
bacco .outclassed the Pee Dee prod
uct, according to observers of the
market, who state that Bamberg to-
bacco was of a very much superior
quality to that grown there, and as
consequence far better prices were
realized.
While a few of the local tobacco
growers did not meet with great sue
cess this season, this was due mostly,
it is said, to the lack of experience in
the production of tobacco here and
not becaue of the nonproductivity OF
Bamberg soil. This season a rather
peculiar condition prevailed in regard
to tobacco, the poorly cured product
being hardly salable, while the well
cured tobacco brought most alluring
price.
Inasmuch as it is said that tobacco
buyers cannot be induced to emit.
the local market unless there are tW'
or more competitive warehouses, it IS
understood that a movement will be
set in motion within the next few
days for the erection Of a second
warehouse The Denbow Tobacco
Warehouse, has been completed and
will be in readiness for tobacco plant
ers nex: season. This warehouse has
large capacity, and with another
warehouse here the local market will
rank we'll up with any of the mar
kets of the Pee Dee section.

ONLY NINE OF SHIPS
CREW ARE RESCUED.
Survivors Drifted OH Upturned Life
Boat Without Food for Three
Days.

( Miami, Fla, Sept. 11-Nine mem
bers of the crew of the Ward line
steamer Cordon's crew of thirty-six
men were brought to this port this
afternoon by the Miami Fish Com
pany's schooner Island Home. They
had been adrift on an upturned life
boat without food and water for three
days.
Twenty-seven of the crew of the
Corydon were drowned.
The Corydon sank in Bahama Chan
mel at 10:30 O'Clock Tuesday morning
carrying down with her all lifeboats
except one, and only the nine per-
sons brought here, survived. c. o.
IChristainsen, captain of the Corydon,
refused to leave his vessel and went
down with her, according to surviv-
ors.
The Island Home left here early
yesterday morning in response to a
message, evidently relayed and gar
bled in transmission which said:
"Forty-five persons, are adraft be-
tween Fowey Rock lighthouse and
Cape Florida. They are in distress
and without food.
The survivors were in an exhausted
condition when brought here, but be-
cause of the immigration laws it was
necessary to hold them aboard the
Island Home until government Off
cials could make the necessary in
spection.
Narrowing tales were told by one
member of the crew in condition to
talk. He was very weak. but managed
to say his name was +. Addison, sup
ercargo of the Corydon. He said he
was jerked overheard by the life
boat in which he and the others were
saved, and crawled into it, rowed
around the vessel and assisted nine
other men into the boat. One Of these,
John Condron, seaman, became
crazed from suffering and privation
Wednesday night and spfang over
board.
After being adrift more than two
days without food and water and buff
feted by wind and wave, they at
tracted the attention Of the keeper of
Fowey Rock lighthouse, and he sent
message to Miami asking for aid
for the Corydon's survivors.
The men are at the municipal hos
pital where medical aid is being given
them.
The survivors of the Corydon were
So completely exhausted as to be un-
able to do more than give their
names tonight and fall back on the
beds at the hospital, after being fifty
three hours adrift in the raging seas.
From one it was learned that they
had barely time to free themselves
from the sinking craft before it was
Iengulfed by the waves.
The survivors are:
Frank Addison, American. in
charge of supercargo; B. L. Mallowes,
American, third mate; M. M. Johnson,
|.American, radio operator; John Ev-
ertz, Fritz Badenwyn, L. M. Tecla,
seaman; John Pena, oiler; Michael
Vallalustre, fireman; Austin Phil
man, seaman. 1t was impossible in
their present state to obtain further
information and their residences are
unknown.

ELECTION. CONTEST
NOT. YET DECIDED
DILLON VOTE FAILED TO REACH
COMMITTEE ON TIME.
State Committee has Ordered Coun-
ty Committee to Meet Friday and
Canvass Returns Officially.

The failure of the county execu-
tive to meet Monday made it impos-
sible for the state executive commit
tee to declare the nominee in the con-
gresSfonal election held on the 9th.
Thursday was the day on which the
committee should have met but a
quorum was not present and call
was sent out Friday urging the COM
mittee to meet the following Monday.
The committee did not meet, hence
the official vote could not be declar-
ed. Both candidates are contesting
the result of the election. The Dillon
vote when added to the official vote
already in will give Sherwood ma
iority of IL votes. Stoll is contesting

c.stered letters were mailed 10
the members of the county executive
committee Wednesday afternoon
Notifying them to be present at Dill
lon Friday morning at 1880 o'clock.
The penalty for falling to respond to
the notice is $500 or six months i'm
prisonment.
A. B. Jordan, county chairman,
gave the following statement to the
correspondent of The State and The
News and Courier Wednesday af-
ternoon:
The first intimation l had that
the returns from Dillon had not been
canvassed and forwarded to the
State Executive Committee was when
i saw this mornings papers. Our
committee failed to meet Thursday,
and before leaving here Friday night
OF an urgent business matter in the
north which had been delayed too
long already, / sent out letters to the
executive committeeman urging
them to meet at 1880 O'Clock Mon
day morning for the purpose of can
vassing the returns. AS a matter OF
precaution l wired Mr.. Bethea, the
secretary, at Il O'Clock noon Saturday
from Baltimore, telling him to be sure
and get the committee together, even
IL he had to ride all day Sunday, but
Mr.. Bethea. was taken sick Sunday
and there was no quorum present at
Mondays meeting. The acting secre-
tary. upon the advice of several
members of the committee, totaled
the figures on the returns of the
managers and wired them in, but l
understand the wire reached Colum-
bia shortly after the committee had
adjourned. While there might have
been some irregularities I am salts
fled the election in Dillon county
was conducted in a fair and square
manner, but in view of the fact that
the returns were not canvassed on
the Thursday following the primary,
as provided by the rules of the par
ty, and also that at least two boxes
were late in coming up, feel that
it is my duty, and in justice to both
candidates and the Democratic vot-
ers. of the county, shall at next Fri
days meeting request the committee
to make full recount of the votes
cast in the county. / am sure the
committee will be only too glad to
perform this work in order to re-
move the slightest suspicion that
might attach to any precinct in the
county"
