 Many blouse belts are made of narrow ribbon.
 Plaited chiffon is favored for evening frocks.
 Side belts are more popular than any other type.
 Black embroidery is popular on coiored materials.
 Chinese blue, copper brown and mauve are fall colors. Lace and tulle will drape many a for nal evening gown. Lace and embroidered net are the most popular fabrics of the hour. Crepe de chine nightgowns often have collar and cuffs or sleeve bands of white organdy. A turban of sapphire blue velvet has a smart bow placed on the side.
 Hats of fabric with transparent brims of lace trimmed in uncurled os- trich bid fair to be quite stylish for the formal occasion in the fall.

ENDING THE PRIORITY ORDER.

When orders were issued giving prior ity to New England regarding coal ship 7nents the interstate commerce comms- son was convinced that there was need of relief m this part of the country. That %aw England has been able because of that order to improve the fuel situation there IS no doubt but that does not necessarily mean that New England mas all the coal it needs to carry it through .he winter or all that it should have at 'his season. About all that can be said !s that l. has been helped.
 The temporary lifting of the priority few weeks ago disclosed the fact that vessels were not being provided at cer- tain ports in sufficient number to take away all of the coal that was ready to relieve the New England shortage but t does not appear that a.~I.thing very sffective in the way of meeting this in- efficient situation was accomplished. Coal that could have been brought here was turned in other directions instead 1f putting idle vessels into that service We still lack coal and there are many vessels doing nothing yet We must take our chances of getting enough fuel to keep warm and to keep the wheels of in. 1ustry going.
 The suspension of the order of course makes it necessary for New England from now on 10 get what it can regard less of the difficulties that may be later encountered during the winter months That the commission should end the pri. ority indicates that it considers that il has done all it can for New England and that it realizes that there are sec. ions whose demands cannot be over. locked
 But the fact that New England has been relieved does not mean that it's To. cation does not entitle it to preferen. 'ial consideration in order that it may ,she advantage of water as we'll as raj transportation before winter condition, make it impossible to do so. New Eng and still needs large quantities of coa 7f both kinds to get through the winte, and it certainly should be assured ot such before 1t is sent abroad, before sections which have no winter handi ,ans and without forcing it to knuckl, iown 10 the profiteers.

EASY COOKIE BAKING.

Try forming the dough into one long roll, slice it and bake as usual. Or roll it into g big sheet and cut into squares after baking. Biscuits may be treated in the same way and doughnuts may be cut into long, narrow strips and the ends brought together-nobody appreciates that hole in the doughnut. One cook uses a dresmaker's tracing wheel for cut ting out cheese straws. Any of these methods eliminates the waste in cutting and requires but one handling of the dough. If you have no regular cookie sheet, bake the cookies on inverted pans and they will be more easily removed. Use a cake turner to lift them to and from the pans.

ion as it renders.
 As can be readily understood it is a matter that ought to be decided not only right but with a due regard for the fu- ture relationship of the neighboring countries. It isn't by any means new situation. Sweden was never satisfied with Russian control of the islands any more than it would have been to have any other country in possession. They are right at its front door, nearer to it than they are to Finland and have a strategic position relative to the gulf of Bothnia. With the idea of working to bring about peaceful conditions the league is going to have an early chance to show what it can do but Americans are glad that they are not in volved in purely European dispute and that they cannot be expected to back IF the decision.

HOME LIGHTING.

Instead of a deep shade the new cleo trolier has shield or screen in front of the light, and while the light is complete ly protected so that no glare reaches the eyes of any one near it the open back of the screen permits the electric bulb to throw very good light on walls and ceiling.
 It is a most artistic method of indirect lighting and these new lamps are charm ing for boudoirs, drawing rooms or hall consoles.
 The dainty affair is not intended for a reading lamp, but its diffused glow is pleasant for conversation or for illumin- ating room or hall where a strong reading light is not required.

To prevent the unpleasant odor grease gives off while it is heating, heat 1t quickly. Do not set your pan or grease on the back of the stove to heat slowly while you are preparing the food that is to be fried Get the eroquettes or cut lets or whatever you may be making righ first. Then put your grease right over the fire and as soon as it is hot enough put in the articles to be cooked. The fat will throw off no odor if handled In this way.

REMARKABLE POTATO YIELD.
Denmark Merchant HarveStS 36 Bar.
relS From Half Acre Patch.

The Herald has received the fol-
lowing story from E. D. Jenkins, Of
Denmark, local agent Of the coopera-
tive extension work:
Ralph Goolsby, a merchant Of
Denmark, has a square of land in
the town of Denmark-less than a
half acre-which he planted in Irish
potatoes. He broke the land with a
two-horse plow, planted potatoes,
using 1000 pounds Of S4-4 fertili-
zer. During this week he harvested
the crop. He gathered from this
plot SO barrels of fine potatoes. In
one place he gathered SO potatoes
from one hill, weighing 6 34 pounds.
| weighed three Of the largest which
tipped the scales at IA pounds,
one weighing l IA pounds. He had
at least four barrels of selected po-
tatoes which weighed from one
fourth to | IA pounds.
''This is remarkable and should be
emulated by every farmer of the
county. The time has come for the
farmers of the county to stop i'm
porting Irish potatoes and begin ex-
porting them. We have some of the
finest land in the state of South Car
olina suitable for the growing Of Ir-
ish potatoes. There should be sew
eral thousand acres, devoted to this
crop another year and our farmers
should not let this miss their atten-
tion.
Irish potatoes are selling for
more than SIS per barrel, making
these potatoes worth s500.40. See?
This plot is now to be set in sweet
potatoes

DEMOCRATIC STOCK RISING.
Hon. j. r. Byrnes Believes Chances
For Victory Next Fall Fine.

The Herald man encountered Con-
gressman James +. Byrnes on the
train the other day while the con-
o.ressman was returning from Wash
ington to make his final arrangements
to attend the San Francisco conven-
ton as delegate-at-large from South
Carolina. Mr.. Byrnes gave it as his
opinion that stock in the Democratic
presidential campaign is rising daily,
and that the chance of election of a
Democratic president is getting more
favorable every day. If the nomina-
ton Of strong candidate is effected
at San Francisco, Mr. Byrnes is con-
fident that he will win the election
this fall.
A good many persons in Bamberg
county have recently received a gov
ernment franked envelope bearing
Mr.. Byrnes's return address with
nothing inside. Mr.. Byrnes stated
that occurrences of this kind are very
common in Washington now. He
said that he cannot state why this
was done, as the envelopes were ad-
dressed and turned over to the print
ing office, which is the customary pro-
cedure, to be mailed from there. He
does not, however, attach any blame
for the matter, as he has not had
time to investigate it.
However, he stated that things like
this are constantly happening to
Democratic members, and he related
the occurrence of mix-up in the
speech of congressman from Texas
which is related more fully in another
place in The Herald today, in which
the Democrats speech was sand
wiched in with a speech of Repub-
lican member denouncing Wilson and
the Democrats in general. Forty
thousand of these speeches were mail
ed out for the Texas representative
who discovered it only after the
speeches had been received by his
constituents.
Mr.. Byrnes has been one of the
most active members of congress dur
ing the past term, and he has every
appearance of being sadly in need OF
a vacation, and no doubt he will com
bine some pleasure with his western
visit to the Democratic convention. .

while he made a splendid impression

but it is believed he will ably Ill
the gap left by Martin when he dodg-
ed his agreement with the locals, ap'
parently not even realizing that he
was being greatly honored by merely
asking him to play with such grand
little ball team as Bamberg's.

TOBACCO BUYERS COMING.
One Buyer Already Booked-Others
Planning to Come.

A. NJ. Brabham, secretary OF the
Farmers Tobacco Warehouse company
last week received a letter from r.
E. Winston, of Raleigh, N. c., stating
that he would arrive in Bamberg in
the next few days and remain here
throughout the tobacco buying season.
Mr.. Winston represents one of The
big tobacco exporting concerns and
will buy tobacco On the local market

sixteen year old daughter.
Mr.. Brabham is also in receipt of a
letter from R. J. Works, of Lexing-
ton, KY, lessee of the Farmers To-
bacco warehouse stating that he had
seen buyers from the export, import
and American tobacco business, and
that all of them would have buyers
here. Mr.. Works adds that he be-
lieves that Bamberg will be one of the
best tobacco markets in the south.
The tobacco selling season will
open in Bamberg about the middle Of
July. Final arrangements are now
being made to take care of the visl-
tors, about 20 or 25 of whom will re-
main in Bamberg throughout the sea-
son. Both local tobacco warehouses
are in readiness for the opening of
the season, and everything points to a
most successful market in this place.
The tobacco crop is said to be good
all over the county, and the crop in
this section is said to be the best in
tha state.
