RESIGNATION OF OFFICERS.
Action of Police Force in Aiken Caus.
es Comment.

Aiken, Aug. 1.-THE resignation
of the whole police force in Aiken has
caused much comment among the citi-
zens. Statements from the mayor are
to the effect that one of the officers
tried to run the mayors court and
that he called him down, saying as he
did so that "any police officer who
did not like the way the city was be-
ing run had the privilege of resjgning
at once"
The officers claim that they did not
receive proper protection from the
mayor and that lie fined prisoners
charged with severe offenses but
slight sums, while on the other hand
those charged with slight offenses re-
ceived heavy fines. The majority of
the citizens in the town are uphcldjng

SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.

The county campaign meeting was
held Tuesday at Denmark. A fairly
good sized crowd heard the candidates
for county offices make their claims
for the Denmark votes.
At the regular convention Monday
night of the knights Of Pythias, the
following delegates were elected to
the district convention, which was
held in Aiken yesterday: l.. B. Row

The regular fall term of the court
of general sessions will convene in
Bamberg on Monday, September 9th,
with Judge James H. Peurifoy, OF
WATERFORD, presiding. The session
will last one week, if necessary. This
will be Judge Peurifoy's first visit to
Bamberg.
Col. Dave H. Wise, for forty-three
wears auditor of Aiken county, died
in Florence Tuesday, after brief i'll
ness. Col. Wise was we'll known in
Bamberg. He had been frequent
visitor here as a representative OF
the comptroller general in making
settlements with the county officers.
Melvin Zorn and family are pre-
pairing to move to Blackville to re-
side. Mr.. Zorn has accepted posi-
ton with a mill at that place, and
has already assumed his duties. He
sold his business here some days ago.
Mr.. Zorns many friends regret his
removal from Bamberg. He is first
class citizen and a man highly re-
spected.
An apple was exhibited in Bam-

been that it was one of those famous
California apples that sold for ten
cents each "before the war Mr..

SUFFERS GREAT LOSS.
Thirteen Cows Dead From Effects of
ArSenate of Lead.

The use of arsenate of lead on
field of cotton on the plantation of
J. X. Mayfield near Denmark has re-
suited in the death of thirteen head
of fine dairy cattle. Seventy-eight
of the herd were poisoned, and more
of them may yet die from the poison
ing. =.
Mr.. Mayfeld had used arsenate of
lead as poison for the boil weevil on
some hilly land near his pasture. The
night following a heavy rain fell
which flooded the fields and swamp,
causing the water to back up in the
pasture. 1t is supposed that the poi
son was carried by the flood into the
pasture lands, and when the cattle
ate the grass or drank the water they
became sick from the effects of the
poison.
This is very great loss to Mr..
Mayfeld, as it is we'll known that his
dairy herd is one of the finest in the
state. Many of his COWS are prize
winners and worth big money. AS a
result of the incident the operation
of the dairy has been suspended,
which adds to the loss sustained by
the death of many of his fine COWS.
This presents new aspect Of the
boil weevil situation. 1t warns the
farmers that extreme care should be
taken in the use of this deadly poi
son, and that the use of the poison
on hillsides forming the watershed
Of pasture lands is very danger

WINS LAST GAME.
Bamberg Victorious Over ST. Mat
theWs Last Friday.

The Orangeburg county base ball
league, composed of Springfield, Holly
Hill, st. Matthews, Elloree, Bamberg
and Orangeburg, came to close last
Friday with Bamberg winning from
St. Matthews on the local diamond
by the score of 5 to 1; Springfield
winning from Orangeburg, and Ello-
rec winning from Holly Hill. The
teams finished in the order named
above as far as we have been able to
learn. The season was divided
Orangeburg winning the first half
and Springfield the second. 1t was
understood at the beginning that the
two winners were to play series to
determine the winner of the pennant,
but owing to a misunderstanding
Orangeburg refused to play Spring
field, thereby forfeiting the pennant
to the latter.
Bamberg entered this league after
the closing of the Tri-County league,
taking the place of Bowman, which
dropped out at the end of the first
half

ENROLMENT INCREASE.
Executive Committee Meets Friday to
Purge Lists.

The Democratic county executive
committee met last Friday at the
court house to purge the roll books
and to make arrangements for the
primary election which will be held
on Tuesday, August 81. There was
found very few irregularities in the
roll books. A few errors were found
which we're corrected. Some names
had been duplicated, and some were
enrolled in wrong places. These
minor irregularities were adjusted
Quite a few names were found en-
rolled with only the initials, whereas
the rules require the full name to be
written on the club rolls. This caus-
ed considerable discussion among
committee members, but it was fin
ally decided to allow these names to
remain on the rolls, taking the view
that no Democrat should be disquali-
ed bcause of his mere failure to write
his full name instead of initials.
The total enrolment this year
shows an increase Of approximately
100 over two years ago. The en-
rollment by clubs follows:

Peanut Prices Disappointing.

The recent decline in the price Of
peanuts is a source of great disap-
pointment to the farmers of Bam-
berg county. Great reliance was
placed in peanuts by the farmers this
year as a weevil beater, and a vast
acreage was planted in this crop this
season. During the early part of the
year peanuts were quoted at very al
Turing prices, but we understand the
price has now declined to something
like three cents a pound.
AS result of this decline in price,
many farmers are fencing in their
peanut fields preparatory to turning
their hogs on them. They consider
that the present price will not war
rant them in even gathering the crop.
This is especially unfortunate be-
cause both of the oil mills have in
stalled peanut crushing machinery.
It is yet hoped that such prices may
prevail that the crop may at least
not cause financial loss The Her.
aid also trusts that the slump may
not be the cause of farmers dropping
this valuable crop. The peanuts in
the county have the appearance OF
being fine, and no doubt a very large
crop of them will result.
Some of the farmers have express
ed themselves as not being totally
discouraged, and they say that they
will continue to plant peanuts, re-
minding others of the fact that even
though cotton prices drop to far less
than cost of production, no farmer
has ever yet quit cotton because OF
low prices.

MARRIED IN NEW YARK.
DIR. III. J. Stuckey and Miss Nolte
United at ST. Paul's.

Coming as a pleasant surprise to
the many friends of DR.. H. J. Stuckey
of this city, is the announcement OF
his marriage on August 5th to Miss
Katherine Nolte, Of Charleston. The
couple was married in New York city
at St. PauIs Episcopal church, the
Rev. Mr.. Cox performing the cere-
mony.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. w. E. Nolte, of Charleston,
and is a young woman of rare grace
and charm. DR.. Stuckey is one of the
foremost young physicians of the
state, and both young people have
hosts of friends to whom the an
nouncement of their marriage will be
pleasant news.
DR.. and Mrs Stuckey spent about
ten days in New York, Baltimore and
Washington, and en- route to their
home in Bamberg stopped over in
Bishopville and Florence to visit rela-
tives of the bridegroom. They are
now at home at their attractive cot
tage on New Bridge street.

Town and Country Interests Merged

The resources of the country have
built up the trade Of the town and
the public improvements resulting
from this wealth have largely been
applied to the betterment of the
town itself. This being true, many
farmers have come to feel that the
townsman is selfish, that he seeks
the major benefit from a transaction
by fixing the price both on what the
farmer has to sell and on what he
has to buy.
It has been we'll said that the solu-
ton is to make the country town a
real part of country life and develop
one programme for the upbuilding
of both town and country. The life
of he town cannot be separated from
the life of the country. The inter-
ests of town and country merge and
cross. If the farmers are thrifty,
the towns are thrifty. If the farm
ers are unthrifty, the towns are likely
to be dead. The prosperity of the
farms is the soul of the business
life of the town. The business in
terests, the banker, the merchant,
the manufacturer, and all the rest
must become alert to the necessity
for creating fair and adequate rela-
tions With the farmers in their own
trade territory, in the interests of
their own greatest ultimate gain

VISITS TOBACCO FARMS.
F.. ID. Jenkins Gives Observations on
Farms of the County.

On the morning of Thursday, Aug
ust 9Th, | was met at the train IL
Bamberg to take me through the
Orange Grove section to a community
four miles below wher lives Jesse
Gray, progressive share cropper,
lives on the place of ]. NJ. Grimes, of
Bamberg.
Just outside of the town Of Bam-
berg | stopped at a tobacco curing
house owned by J. NJ. kinard, OF
Bamberg. He has eleven acres of
tobacco under cultivation.
Two things attracted my atten-
ton at this tobacco house. One was
that from the largest to the smallest
can be used in this special industry
the same as cotton. The other was
that a woman was working. Five
small girl children were engaged.
One, Florence IoOmer, a very small
girl. proved to be an expert in string
ing tobacco. She could quickly wind
the cord around the ends of the to-
bacco and could string a stick with
tobacco in very short period.
At Samuel Wright's, in the Orange
Grove section, was the next stop. A
Mr.. Smith, an expert who superyises
the tobacco curing industry in por-
tions Of the county, was present. He
was showing this young man how tc
select and grade his tobacco for the
market.
My next stop was at Jesse Gray's
house. He runs a four-horse farm
has thirty-seven acres planted in cot,
ton and sixty in corn. He has three
acres of corn that is extra good. He
has twenty-five acres of big boil cot
ton. This cotton is heavily fruiteo
REGARDLESS of the boil WeeVil.
In large degree would call Jesse
Gray a progressive farmer. He states
that for five years out of the si1
years he has been there, he has moi
bought any corn, -four, meat or lard
Has sold $4,000 worth Of corn, has
a hundred bushels or more on hand
has -four and wheat of his 1919 crop
his. crop of 1920 to be threshed, has
on hand a large quantity of mid
dlings, shoulders and hams, possibly
more than three hundred pounds
and two SO pound cans of lard, has
a large number of hogs to be killed
for meat the coming fall. He ha:
bought a home containing seventy
acres joining the farm he now works
Since the advent Of the great cot
ton pest it seems to me that the
safest method of the farmers of the
south, South Carolina and Bambers
county would be to live at home anc
board at the same place. Through
this plan of operation we can beat
the boil weevil and become independ

WHY PEANUTS DROPPED.
Result of Heavy Imports, Not Increase
In American Acreage.

In American Acreage.
Did you know last year We i'm
ported more than S40,000,000 worth
of peanuts and peanut oil? This is
a new record for the United States,
one Of the world 's4argest producers
of peanuts. This phenomenal record,
says a statement by National City
Bank of New York, grows out of the
new world demand for food oils to
take the place of animal fats. For
several years, continues this bank S
statement. we have been importing
large quantities of certain food oils,
especially those produced from the
cocanut, of which the quantity has
grown from 5S,000,000 pounds in
1914 to 356,0O0,O00 in 1918, while
the value of all Vegetable oils i'm
ported jumped from 100000 in
1914 to S123. 100000 in 1919, and
approximately 100000 in 1920.
But it was left to the humble pea
nut to show a squirt in the race for
popularity in supplying vegetable fats
in the fiscal year 1920, and the guam
tity of peanut Oil imported into this
great peanut producing country of
ours was, in the ten months ending
with April, 1920, 100000 gallons
AGAINST less than 100000 in the
corresponding months of last year,
and less than 100000 in the year
preceding the war. Not only was
there an enormous increase in the
quantity of oil imported, but there
was also a corresponding increase IN
the importation of peanuts, of which
the imports in ten months ending
with April, 1920, were valued at S1O,-
100000, against less than S1,00O,OOO
in the same months of 1919. In the
single month of April, the latest for
which details are available, the i'm
0orts of peanuts aggregated 10000
900 pounds valued at $4,000, 900,
and those of the Oil, 100000 gall
Ions, valued at s4,27S,000, most of
the nuts and oil coming from Japan
and in larger quantities from China.
Not only has the Quantity import
ed greatly increased, but the price
paid abroad for these ''foreign pea
nuts" has advanced, the average i'm
port price of peanuts having nearly
doubled and that of the oil increased
above so Per cent. during the year,
despite the very large increase in
quantity.
The bureau of crop estimates puts
the total farm value Of the peanut
crop of the United States in 1919 at
sSO,OOO,00O.
Now, Mr. Farmer of Bamberg coun-
tv and state OF South Carolina, do
not fear about the market for the few
acres YOU have in peanuts, for they
will not be drop in the bucket, so
tn speak. These estimates are from
the U. S. department of agriculture,
bureau of crop estimates, and are
correct as near as can be made.
