vANQUIsHEs HECKLER
Ev r. A. BUTLER.

SOUTH BEND, Aug. 20.-James NJ.
Cox. democratic nominee for presi-
dent, demonstrated in his speeches
before the people of the Thirteenth
district and the Indiana Democratic
Editorial association that he pos
sesses all the ability to deliver the
same kind of campaign punches that
marked the career of Theodore
Roosevelt.
Combined with the ability to drive
home his points with rhetoric and
true oratory is a willingness to go the
limit in his statements that both i'm
presses and inspires confidence.
Not since the days of the intrepid
Roosevelt has campaign orator entered
Indiana who exhibits greater enthusiasm,
ability to handle himself and straight
forward lighting of this type.
Mr.. Cox wilIe take care Of himself IN
any kind of conditions that may confront
him.
He Will call a spade by its real name
and he will show whether 1t is a fine
day or not without consulting the gov
ernment observer to verify his opinion.
HECKLER APPEARS
AT OPEN-AIR MEETING.
At the open-air meeting here a man
who was in the company Of J. P. oMa-
honey of Indianapolis attempted to
heckle Cox.
The speaker was discussing the high
cost Of living and advocated a law gov
erning storage of food products.
This heckler, apparently planted for
the purpose. interrupted Mr.. Cox to ask
why didn't Wilson give US that kind
of a law?"
Quick as a fash Cox pointed out the
questioner to the crowd and answered
him:
your party has had control Of con-
gress for two years and congress makes
our laws"
The crowd cheered and the heckler at
tempted TO Slip away.
Again Cox brought him to the atten-
ton Of the crowd and invited him to re-
main, with the statement:
YOU asked for information. now stay
and get it."
The discontinue of the heckler was
only matched by the enjoyment Of the
crowd while the nominee continued TO
talk of the failures Of the republican
congress

Best Wishes For Brother Jones.

A celebrated revivalist came to ad-
dress his flock, and before he began
to speak the pastor said: Brother
Jones before you begins this discourse
there are some powerful bad negroes
in this here congregation and I want
to pray for you," which he did in this
fashion:
20 Lord, give Brother Jones the
eye of the eagle, that he may see sin
from afar. Glue his ear to the gos-
pei telephone, and connect him with
the central skies. Illuminate his
brow with brightness that will make
the fires of hell look like tallow
candle. Nail his hands to the gospel
plow and bow his head in some lone
some valley, where prayer is much
wanted to be said, and anoint him
all over with the kerosene Oil Of thy
salvation and set him afire. ."-Con-

Robber Attacks MOOre's Brother.

Adj. Gen. w. w. Moore has re-
turned from Gilmania, where he was
called to see his brother, Joseph H.
Moore, who had been attacked and
badly beaten up by an alleged robber.
Mr.. Moore was in charge of a store
and Wednesday afternoon some one
hit him on the back of the head sev-
eral times with billy, fracturing
his skull in three places.
The robber then ransacked the
cash register and made away with
all the funds. General Moore said
yesterday that he had been advised
that man had been arrested charg-
ed with forgery and that upon search
ing him officers had found the con-
tents of the cash register on his per-
son. He is being held in connection
with the attack on Mr.. Moore.
General Moore left his brother
resting we'll and hopes no complica-
tions will result from the serious
wounds. Columbia State.

PIGMIES HUNT ELEPHANTS.
Midgets Have Hard Time
Staying Biggest of Beasts.

One of the queerest regions under
the sun-a land peopled by midgets,
scarcely four feet tall-has just been
explored by DR.. Leonard John Van
denbergh, a Catholic missionary. AL
most year ago the doctors party
entered the Congo seeking traces of
the tribe of Mabuti, which, living
deep in the jungle, had heretofore
repelled all attempts of white men to
learn of it's methods of living, it's be-
liefs, and it's history. DR.. Vanden-
bergh, however, after generous gift
of salt and tobacco, succeeded in
winning the favor of the pigmies and
he not only lived for time among
them but he got their permission to
film them at work and play.
He brought back with him, along
with the pictures, numerous interest
ing stories of the Mabuti. Among
them is the account of the Staying of
an elephant, which is described as
follows:
When they smell an elephant in
the vicinity, the whole tribe goes out
to hunt him. They keep on his
tracks for weeks at time, singing
their spears at him with steady hand
and eye. The men climb trees and
jump from branch to branch as the
animal below them makes his har-
ried way through the underground.
They throw their. weapons at. him,
their aim being to strike him deeply
in vital part. They haven't the
strength to throw spear with suf-
ficient force to deal a death blow.
All they can do and all they aim to
do is to have the weapon sufficient
ly imbedded to impede the progress
of the animal as he is continually
prodded from the sides and from the
branches above. They force him to
butt the spears into the trunks of
trees, and very often succeed in vir~
tually making him commit suicide
by having him force the weapons in
to his body.
They will follow the wounded and
tortured beast for as much as a
month. When he shows signs of COM
plete surrender, they deal the final
death blows by the whole mass of
them throwing their spears into his
sides. Once assured he can do them
no harm, they swarm over his body
like so many ants and proceed to cut
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1920-11-04

away his flesh, which they eat. They
have no method of preserving the
flesh. They simply stay near him
just as long as there is anything to
eat, then depart to their village TAX
ing the much cherished tusks with
them. They bury them in the ground
and keep the tusks there until some
of the neighboring tribes come along
with offers of salt and tobacco.

The Barnwell People has taken an
advanced step in the elimination Of
its ready print service. This means
that the People is now printed entire
1y in Barnwell, and is, therefore, an
entirely home product. The People
explains that heretofore it has not
had sufficient advertising patronage
to warrant printing its whole paper
at home, but that it's patronage has
recently increased to such an extent
that hereafter the whole paper will
be printed it it's own Office. We con-
gratulate the People on it's prosperity
In this connection we might say that
the Bamberg Herald has been a home
printed paper for the last fifteen
years, and is now the only paper in
the county setting all it's own type
and doing it's own press work. The
people of Bamberg long ago realized
the benefits attached to having a
modern paper, and have given liberal
support to The Herald. We might al
so add, however, that because The
Herald is a modern weekly and,
therefore, cannot cut it's legal adver-
tising rate it is deprived of practically
all the legal advertising of the county
of Bamberg. This accounts for the
absence of the county advertising. If
we thought the county was financially
unable to pay full rate for it's adver-
tising we would run it free, but we
don't think So We have always had
an idea that the purpose of the coun-
ty advertising was to give publicity,
but it seems that this is not entirely
correct; get it as cheap as possible.
correct. This apepars to be one disad-
vantage of giving the people a modern
all home print paper, but we trust
the Barnwe1l People will not have
this experience.

ON THE SITE OF HIS WORK.
Remains of Founder of Wofford Col
Iege Rest on College Campus.

The remains of Benjamin Wofford,
founder of the college which bears his
name, now rest on Wofford campus.
The reinterment of the remains of
DR.. Wofford and his wife took place
last evening at six o'clock, says a
Spartanburg dispatch of last week.
There were no exercises. Two or
three of the members of Wofford COL
leg faculty strolled down to the grave
and stood by while workmen under
the direction of Mayor Floyd placed
the boxes bearing the ashes of the
man who gave in his day the greater
Individual sum of education, and
those of his wife, in soil shadowed
by the institution he founded.
The remains were taken from the
old burying ground near Cross An
chor yesterday, and brought to the
city late yesteday afternoon. After
having rested in the earth for nearly
80 years, the coffin of the peculiar
shape of that date was found in fair
" good state of preservation.
The graves of Benjamin Woford
and his wife on Wofford campus lie
20 yards, one foot and 3 inches from
the portals of the college building,
representing the age of the founder,
70 years, one month and 13 days, at
the time of his death.
Early in November suitable mark
ing for the graves will be placed and
probably there will be some ceremony
held on the occasion.

A Caution to the Negro Farmer.

1t is true that we have had hard
fight this year with the boil weevil
trying to save our cotton; many sac
riices were made because of the high
cost of living. Millions of dollars
were used in the form of fertilizer
and labor that has proven a total
loss. This is very shocking and
heart rending to the farmer.
The thing that has caused the
greatest depression in the hopes of
the farmers was the great drop in
the price of cotton. He cannot pay
his bills of various kinds, his many
obligations in many instances pre-
vent the supplying of home needs
and making those happy who were
prominent in waging the terrible
war against the boil weevil. This
has caused or brought about great
business depression not only on the
farm but in all lines of business.
With the unusual condition sur
rounding us many of our people have
left the farm, gone north and west.
Many are threatening to leave. This,
l think, is one of the greatest mis-
takes the negro farmer and worker
has made in a long time and should
be checked at once.
Listen! The leaving of the thou
sands of my people from South Car
olina and the south has caused the
loss of thousands of acres of lands,
homes, and millions of dollars. Be-
cause of the great furry in the ma
tion's business centers, the closing
of mines, factories, mills of various
kinds, thousands have been thrown
out of employment, without any in
come and in many instances friends.
Those who are able are returning.
Those who are not able are writing
their former friends to send tickets
that they may return. What shame!
One thousand returned to their for
mer homes in Georgia last week.
I want to caution the negroes of
Bamberg county, of the state and of
the south, to stay on the farms be-
cause it is one of the greatest plac-
es in the world Upon it depends the
progress of all business enterprises,
sustenance and support of the cities,
industrial enterprises, even the as
sured life of progressive nation.
Now, if this is true, which I firm
ly believe deep down in my heart
is true, then the thing for us to do
is to not make the mistake of our
friends, but let's be thoughtful, less
wastefu1, produce more sustaining
products on the farm and in gener-
al and technical way, carry out the
caution of the sage of by-gone days, |
Booker T. Washington, to let down
our buckets where we are. Through |
this, which l believe to be wise ac-
tion, we will not only save the day
for ourselves and our beloved south,
but will prove ourselves to be great
asset to our beloved country and ma
