Urges Women to Register.

Editor The Herald:-On Septem-
Der p, 1920, the registration office in
the court house at Bamberg will be
kept open so that women may regis
ter. Unless women do register and
get their registration certificates they
will not be qualified to vote on No
vember End in the general election.
The women of the north and west
are going to register and they are
going to vote. Why not we?
The women of the north are going
to stand by the Republican party.
Shall we stand by the Democratic par
ty,s or shall we fail to take the trou-
Bile to register and vote?
Now is the time for all good men
and women to come to the aid of their
party. Will you do it?
The registration office will be kept
open on the 22nd of this month es-
pecially in order to give the women
another opportunity to register. If
you do not register on that date it
will be too late.

Jones and Eugene Stroman, two ne
gro farm hands, who, they allege,
were formerly employed on Mr.. May
fields farm and had fed from the
state violating their contract with
Mr.. Mayfeld. Efforts were first
made to secure the extradition of the
two negroes from North Carolina,
but Governor Beckett of North Caro-
lima refused to honor the requisition
papers. The Bamberg county men
then, the North Carolina authorities
claim, took matters into their own
hands, went to North Carolina and
brought the negroes back to South
Carolina. This was effected, the ne
groes alleged in afidavits presented
at hearing before Governor Cooper,
with force of arms and with the use
of handouts. Mayfeld and his asso-
ciates, however, claim that no force
was used and that the negroes even
expressed themselves as glad to get
back to South Carolina.
Requisition papers were then is
sued for the three Bamberg men by
Governor Beckett and after several
hearings were honored by Governor
Cooper, who notified Sheriff Sanders,
Barnwell county, to arrest the men
and to deliver them to the North
Carolina authorities. Sheriff Sand
ers was passing through Columbia
September en- route to North Caro-
lima with the alleged fugitives when
he was served with the writ of habeas
corpus.
Mr.. Mayield and his associates
were represented at the hearing by
Edgar A. Brown, J. Wesley Crum,
Jr., and y. W. Robinson, while
counsel for the state were Assistant
Attorney General Lumpkin and So
licitor Brock. Former Senator S. G..
Mayfeld, father of w. D. Mayfield,
was also present at the hearing.

ATTENDED BIG CONVENTION.
Bamberg County Farmers Enthusias-
tic Over Cotton Meeting.

S. S. Williams, of Govan, and H.
G. Crum and T. P. McCrae. Of Den
mark, attended the big meeting Of
the American Cotton association in
Montgomery recently. Mr.. Williams,
in discussing the convention satur-
day, spoke very enthusiastically of
the actions of the association, and
he is of the belief thai great good
will be accomplished in the carrying
out of the mammoth programme out
lined at the association. Mr.. Will
Jams said that the various cotton in
terests were represented at the meet
ing, including the spinners, export
ers and the banks, and that all Of
these interests were unanimously
agreed that the time has come for
the fixing of a fair price for the
staple lest farmers entirely quit cot
ton for other crops. 1t was general
ly agreed among the men of big in
terests that unless the farmers are
permitted to make profits on their
cotton similar to profits made in other
industries, the people will continue
to leave the farms for more lucra-
tive employment, and it was point
ed out, in support of this argument,
that the percentage of farmers NOV
ing to the towns is growing larger
every year. All the spinners agreed
that the planters are entitled to a
good price for cotton, and repre-
sentative from the English spinners
pleaded for the fixing of high price
as the only hope of supplying the
European people with clothing.
Mr.. Crum stated Saturday that he
had during his trip talked with many
Alabama farmers, and he found that
the boil weevil is eating up the cot
ton there, and that the damage is
greater than in recent years. Many
farmers, he said, are expecting no
more than three bales of cotton to
the plow. During his visit Mr.. Crum
became very muck encouraged over
the peanut crop. He says that No. 1
Spanish peanuts are now worth
about s12O per ton, with the peavine
hay quoted at around $50. At these
prices. Mr.. Crum says the farmers
will make good money this year, as
the crop is generally good. He has
eighty acres in peanuts himself, and
many othn~ farmers in his section
have r!?nted heavily of this crop

TOBACCO MARKET DROPS.
North Carolina Opens so to 100 Per
Cent. Off From Last Year.

A. NJ. Brabham has handed The
Herald copies of the Raleigh On. c.
News and Observer of September 8
and 8, containing accounts of the
opening of the North Carolina to-
bacco markets. In view of the in
terest locally in the price of tobacco,
We give here brief summary of the
condition of the markets in the north
state.
Tobacco growers in eastern North
Carolina are up in arms because of a
fifty per cent. reduction in prices for
the opening day as compared with
last year. Greenville warehouses
were closed shortly after the open
ing yesterday, when, it is reported,
the angry farmers refused to allow
the sales continued" says the open
ing paragraph of the issue of the 8th.
"Sales were also discontinued at
Farmville and Ayden, but the larger
markets remained open though the
price slumps caused a lot of the weed
to be hauled back home and many
indignation meetings were held"
The greatest part of the North
Carolina tobacco is bright leaf, and
very high class, although the prices
reported from the various markets
were less than prices paid in Bam-
berg for tobacco that is generally
conceded to be inferior to North
Carolina bright leaf.
Millions of pounds of tobacco were
On sale the opening day. At Green
vile the price averaged between Is
and 20 cents a pound, fifty per cent.
under last years prices. More than
three-quarters of a million pounds
were on sale at Wilson, the largest
bright leaf market in the world, and
the 'cures" were the finest ever Of
fered, though the price was 100 per
cent. under. last year. At Kinston
initial prices were 35 to so per
cent off from those of last years
opening" Last year the average at
Kinston was so cents. The everage
price at Goldsboro was 20 cents. The
average at Rocky Mount was 25
cents, and at other markets about the
same as those given above.
Following the prices offered at the
opening, most of the markets de-
clared against selling. Many mar
kets were closed entirely and resolu-
tions were passed by farmers meet
ings protesting against the prices.
In the issue of Sept. 9, slightly
better prices are noted, but still not
near approximating the prices of last
year.
In view of the fact that many
farmers were dissatisfied with prices
paid on the Bamberg market, this
should be of interest to the planters
of this county. The fact that Bam-
berg tobacco was placed on the mar
ket early saved the farmers here
thousands of dollars. Mr.. Brabham
will be pleased to Ishow the papers
referred to to any interested parties.

Political Points.

"And whom did you vote for, Miss
Sophy?"
"Well, you see, the Republican was
simply stunningly good-looking. But
the Democrat had always been per-
fectly splendid to his family, so I
marked both ballots, closed my eyes,
shuf1ed them, put one in the box and
tore up the other. Nothing could be
fairer than that Life.

MfssTATING PUBLIC SENTIMENT.

An%ica never produced another leader go
unalt@ably addicted to the habit OF misstating
publS sentiment President Woodrow Wilson,
Whether he deliberately does this for his own
ends. or whether his isolation is such that he is
without the ordinary means OF determining pub
tic opinion and is therefore incapable OF cor
rectiy apprasing It, we may not say.
Certain 1t is that the most friendly and con
servatve commentator on public issues and public
men finds 1t exceedingly difficult to discuss this
phase OF the executive character without indulg-
ing incorporate remarks. What we have par
ticularly in mind is the presidents message urg-
ing the congress TO give him authority to assume
an overlordship for Armenia. Mandatory is the
covenants name for It, but the term we employ
gets the meaning home more snugly and accur-
ately.
Asking this of congress was permissible, Of
course since It has been and is one OF the
presidents hobbies--to become an International
ngure--to have his country involved inextricably
In every quarter of the globc. But when he
asserts that 1t is the desire Of the American
people that he is interpreting their wishes in
seeking TO involve the nation in this Impractical
adventure he either wilfully shuts his eyes to
the unmistakable state OF the public mind or is
such stranger in his own land as TO be unfit
For If there is feature in particular in the
pact OF Versailles more universally condemned
by American public opinion than any other, it
is the mandatory feature which seeks to send
America into the heart OF the trouble zone of
the Balkans, or the hot-bed OF Turkish disturb
ances for the purpose of imposing conditions on
the peoples there which they are clearly with
out tho right to possess since they are incapable
OF maintaining such conditions themselves.
II is strange indeed where the president gets
his idea that he represents American opinion In
any respect lie has been ropudiated on every
stand he has taken since that day two years ago
when he asked the people to give him an ultra
partisan congress for the purpose OF winning
the war. With his visionary and perilous cove
nant utterly rejected by American public opinion,
with his own party in chaos as a result OF his
Inflated leadership, with an electorate impatient
for the day to come when II can remove him
from authority in the constitutional way, it is
amazing TO find the man deliberately asking the
congress TO grant him authority that can never
be his and seeking to buttreAs that request by
the mendacious statement that he and not the
congress represents American ideals and aspira-
tions II II is not inpertnence 1t is worse,
OF course the request will not be granted In
all probability the matter will never even he re-
ferred toJn committee. There are some things
