Four Great Opiates.

There are just four great physical
opiates," writes an authority on ny
giene, "and they are fresh air, exer-
else, water and sleep" And, thank
goodness, they are to be obtained with
out great expense.
One need not make a long journey
to obtain their beneficial effects. A
trip to the seashore or the mountains
is well; vacation at the lakes or riv-
ers or in the great forests is helpful
and delightful. But it is not necey
sary to go TO any OF these places to
find fresh air, exercise, water and
sleep. They are to be had at home, OF
in the vicinity of the home, if we viii
but seek them nationally.
A change of scene, change of food
a change from the everyday grind is
required or desirable. Especially is
this true Of the mother. A vacation for
mother would be better than anything
else at this time; father may need such
a vacation, but not nearly so much as
mother needs it. Fathers surround
ings are not so monotonous, as mo-
Tiers. He has his diversions; his bust
ness or his work throws him into con-
tact with others; he sees more new
faces and hears more things discussed
than does the wife. At best, hers

el. SO if the vacation can come. on

If a journey is impossiblc-if il is
not practicable to take trip-then try

household cares for a period. Throw

daily grind. You can have picnic n,
nome. or take an excursion into the
backyard, and find the four great
physical opiates.

Iowa Town Goes On a Spree.

The town OF Defiance, Iowa, is lust
recovering from an old-fashioned spree
that lasted for two days and two nights
the past week-with the ingredients
for several more celebrations later on.
Last Thursday morning. just about
dawn, there was freight wreck on
the railroad passing through Defiance
The wreck occurred right at the sta
ton. Several cars OF wheat and a car
OF cocoanut oil were smashed 20
pieces. Also two tank cars were so
badly smashed that their contents
started leaking When the odor OF
those cars got into the atmosphere
old-timers thought of other days.
Gentlemen vino formerly wore red
noses shifted the air like racehorses
and took the lead like Missouri houn'
dawgs after fox. The scent led to
the depot. The tank cars we're filled
with California Vine and the wine was
pouring from half a hundred spread
seams and broken ,rivet holes. The
ground was covered with the stuff and
little pools were forming along the
railroad tracks.
My God, it's too good to be true ="
gasped the town colonel Each tank
car was marked capacity 10000 gal
Ions, and each tank was filled to ca
pacity 1t was part of the govern.
ment stock of port wine being moved
from San Francisco to New York.
What was going to be done with il
when it reached New York Defiance
/ DOESN'T knOw-and doesn't care.
/ The bucket brigade gathered; buck
cts gave out; tin cups, tin buckets,
[ dishpans, washtubs - anything and
everything that would hold liquid was
. pressed into service. When the home
supply gave out the people rushed to
the stores to buy more They found
the stores Observation-Disclosures were all
down to the station. So they helped
themselves to utensils, and today De-
fiance's stores are completely out of
things that will hold liquids.

WANTING NEW COUNTY.
Estill selected as County Seat-Good
Roads Wanted.

Furman, Oct 2.-The largest mass
meeting ever held in Furman conven-
ed yesterday afternoon at the graded
school building for the purpose of
making preliminary arrangements for
the formation Of a new county with
county seat at Estill.
Mayor NJ. T. Lafitte, Of Estill, was
elected chairman of the meeting and
A. L. Youmans secretary. The pro-
prosed new county embraces LaWton
and Goethe townships in Hampton
county and portions of Jasper and Al
lendale counties. A sum Of money
sufficient to cover preliminary ex-
penses was paid in and H. L. Solomons
and M. H. O'Neal, of Estill, started
the subscriptions with pledges of $10,-
900 each to bear the expense of form
ing the new county. Back OF this
movement is an intense desire to cre-
ate better roads in this section of the
state. The proposed new county will
be one of the richest in the state.

RAISE MORE CATTLE.
Campaign For Better Live Stock and
More Fencing.

At this time of the year we real
ize the immense amount of forage
that is going to waste and the small
number of live stock that we have to
utilize this waste. 1t causes us to
look around for some method to
check it. I am putting on campaign
for better live stock, more fencing
and better pasture as a solution. Al
ready some farmers have expressed
themselves as going to put fence
all the way around their farms and
it is good sound business judgment,
if you have live stock enough to war
rant it. The boil weevil will naruT-
ally convert us into live stock raising
in this county and the sooner we pre-
pare for it the better off We will be.
have some good offers to make to
farmers who are interested in good
herd boars, also am working on the
reduction in prices Of fencing dur
ing the campaign. Let's make Bam-
berg county famous by taking the
lead in the better live stock and fenc-
ing campaign. When we think of
Creenville we think of cotton mills;
we think Of Anderson's broad fields
and fertile lands; we think of Beau
fcrt as fine trucking section; 50,
let's put this campaign across ana
think of Bamberg county as the lead
er in fenced farms and fine live stock.

Sure Cure for Weeyil?

The story was told in Bamberg
!; is week that farmer in this coun-
ty has found a sure remedy against
the cotton boil weevil. The story
goes that this farmer, whose name
was not mentioned, made up simple
solution last year and put it on his
Irish potatoes to keep down the po-
tato bugs. In this the solution was
successful, and the potatoes were not
mo1ested. AS an experiment he tried
the same solution on a portion Of a
cotton field this season. 1t is said
that the weevils did not bother this
cotton at all, and to prove it the
farmer exhibited some fine blooms
and forms, neither of which can be
found anywhere around Bamberg at
this time. The solution was made
from common herbs which grow
plentifully in the woods, it is said. A
friend Of The Herald has promised to
investigate the story and tell US
about it.

TO PATRONS OF ELECTRIC LIGHT
AND WATER PLANT.

At a meeting of the Bamberg city
council held October /, 1920, the
following resolution was duly adopt
ed:
Whereas, the Board of Commis-
sioners of Public Works has resign
ed, and it becomes necessary for the
Town Council to manage the opera
tion of the water and lighting plant
until a new Board of Commissioners
may be elected and qualified,
And, whereas, additional charges
for current and water service are re-
quired in order to make the said
plant self-supporting, because of the
present high cost of coal and other
necessary supplies;
Therefore, be it resolved: That the
charge for electric current is hereby
fixed at 80 cents per killoWatt hour,
plus Csc per month as meter rent,
with minimum charge of 1926 per
month, and the charge for water is
hereby fixed at 60 cents per thousand
gallons, with a minimum charge OF
S2.75 per month, customers to have
the usual 10 per cent. discount for
payment before the 10th day of the
month, and these charges to go into
effect Immediately.
No further business, the council
adjourned.

WE'LL MAKE 1T FIVE DOLLARS
Send Us a Live News Item and Re.
ceive Prize of $500. :

The Herald fell into the error last
week. of believing that dollar is
worth something. We offered a dol
lar for the best news item sent in
for publication in this weeks issue.
We had an idea that several persons
would write hundred or two hum
dred words for a dollar. We will
take our medicine, and just to show
you that we are good sports we will
make it five, and extend the offer to
next week.
There are lots of news items
throughout the country that would
make good reading matter. We want
them.
For example, there may be cotton
picker you know of who has picked
an unusually large amount Of feecy
staple in a single day. That would
be good item. Perhaps there is an
old freak of a tree in your back
yard. Folks like to know about
freaks. 1t may be a prize winner.
Then it may be an ordinary item of
news, any kind of happening. Send
it in. Let's have several good news
items in this class next week. The
Herald is here to serve.
Five dollars is good pay for a
couple of hundred words. You may
make it more if you think the item is
worth it, or you may make it less.
We will forward a check for $500 in
payment of the best news story re-
ceived.

EHRHARDT NEWS.
Interesting Items From Our Live
Neighboring Town.

Ehrhardt, Oct. 5.-October came
in with a decided change in the Wea-
ther and put Palm Beach suits, elec-
trio fans, etc., out Of business. Black
smokes were seen ascending from the
chimneys and the "old woman" had
to dig down into the quilt box and
get out heavy covering for the beds.
The change coming so suddenly made
it feel colder that it really was.
The year 1920 (leap year, known
as the time the fair sex has the op-
portunity Of courting and popping
the question:" will soon be over fer
this period. So far it has been fatal
with the widowers in this section;
about half dozen Of whom have fell
victims to purchasing marriage IL
censes. Seems when a young man
meets the proposal he gives it the ha,
ha, but the old WidoWers! When they
are asked, "darling do you love me?:'
the heart is so soft they can only
answer (half audibly) Eyes, my love. !"
Cheer up, girls, there are three or
four around here yet, and, remember,
1924 is a long time off.
Plenty of cotton coming to the
gins and owing to the price we no.
tice that nearly every wagon is re-
turning home, the bale on it.
J. E. Folk suffered painful acci-
dent the first of September, getting
his left ankle broken. He is just
able now to hobble to the postofice
and back.
The sportsmen are out now hunting
the fox. 1t is fine sport. The lady
folks join in sometimes with their
autos. Some of the farmers are
guilty of watching their sugar cane
patches pretty closely when they hear
the hunters coming, because most
hunters agree that the commandment
"thou shalt not steal' applies in all
cases except Watermelons and sugar
cane.

The price cutting movement just
started in the automobile, textile and
metal industries, began in the meat
industry as soon as the war was over
Livestock is at a lower level now
than at any time within the past three
years. That these low levels have not
been reflected to greater degree in
the retail prices of meats is due tc
the tremendous decrease in the value
of various of the by-products.
Both hides and wool, which are
big credits toward the cost of cattle
and sheep, are selling at tremendous
discounts over the prices of year
ago.
Even so, meat at wholesale is near
er pre-War levels than most other es-
sentials. There are no immediate
prospects for further reductions in
the wholesale prices Of meat, but the
excellent corn crop now in the max
ing gives promise of cheaper produc-
tions costs in the future and will
probably smake further price reduc-
tions next year.
Getting back to normal is highly
desirable, but in the case of foods,
producers have alaready suffered hea-
Wy losses and if adequate production
is to be maintained these losses must
not be augmented.
Julius Rosenwald, president OF
Sears, Roebuck & Co., for the first
time outlined some of the price re-
cessions made recently by his firm:
''Standard percale, which was 40
cents a yard, we are now offering at
10 cents" said Mr.. Rosenwald. silk
taffetas formerly s2.57 a yard, are
now $1.48;. sheeting, formerly 27
cents a yard, now s cents; muslin 35
cents, now Is cents; flannel, 43 cents
now 29 cents"

Can You Beat This One?

A prominent farmer Of this city
stated to us one day last week that
on the Sunday before while some OF
the negroes on his place were sitting
on their porch they noticed a bird fall
dead in the corner of the yard and
decided that they would cut it open
and, if possible, ascertain the cause
of it's death. Upon opening the craw
they discovered a live boil weevil
which had punctured the craw of the
bird in several places, thereby caus.
ing it's death.
