aMoody was on the lookout for a stol-
en- dress, and seeing negro woman
at the Southern station with sus-
picious looking package he gave 1t
the "once over" The package did

The hottest wave of the summer
was experienced here this week. The
wave struck Bamberg Friday and it
continued to get hotter during Satur-
day, Sunday and Monday. However,
the heat was interspersed with re-
freshing showers in various sections
of the county, which were gratefully
welcomed as some relief from the in
tense temperature, which ranged
around 100 several days.
Friday Coroner Zeigler was notified
of the sudden death of Bryant Clifton,
a white man about 'S5 years of age,
near Olar. With DR.. Rebt. Black he
went to Olar to investigate the mat
ter, but found that the dead man had
died of natural causes and no inquest
was held. 1t developed that some
months ago he was struck blow and
it was thought by some that this may
have contributed to his death, but
this occurrence had been so long that
it had no legal status, and anyway
had nothing to do with his sudden
death.

THE FIRST COTTON BLOSSOM.
w. f. Bessinger Picked Bloom From
His Field Monday.

w. E. Bessinger has found not only
cotton boil weevils in his cotton fields
lately, but on Monday he picked a
fully opened cotton blossom. The
blossom was brought to The Herald
office Monday morning, and it was a
fine specimen. This blossom is note
worthy because it was picked from a
field of late cotton. The first planting
was a failure, and the second plant
ing was made during the first part OF
April
Mr.. Bessinger's cotton is infested
with weevils and he has adopted the
plan of picking them off. Twice a
week he is going over his cotton, but
during the present season, when
cultivation is we'll advanced, ne Is
keeping a crowd Of hands CONSTANTS
at work killing the cotton pests.
Mr.. Bessinger estimates that every
two Weevils he catches at this time
saves him s5 worth of cotton.
E. D. Goodwin gets second honor
in the cotton blossom rivalry. Mr.
Goodwin brought The Herald bios
som Wednesday morning.

it and due justice to Charlie in a
description of this wonderful eaten,
but it's worth trying anyhow. With
4 man on base and two out the bat
ter hit to center field. Neither the
center or right fielder had ghost Of
a chance to get it. But Charlie Rentz,
in the same predicament as Sir Doug
las Haig's British forces, with his
back to the wall, turned directly at
the crack of the bat and made wild
headlong dash into center field, yell
ing all the time at the top of his
voice that he had it, but not soul
believed him because Charlie always
has been full of hot air, and anybody
in the crowd except a preacher would
have Wagered a ten to one shot that
he couldn't get it. But on and on
dashed the speeding infielder in a
mad attempt as though it was a case
of life and death, never Stacking or
turning, until at last with one su-
preme superhuman effort he darted
with outstretched arms and over his
head from behind into his flying hands
dropped the white pellet and
stuck. Many fans had to catch breath
before they realized what haG hap
pened, but as the Bamberg captain
wheeled with a smile and tossed the
sphere to a comrade infelder and
then trotted from the field to the play
ers' bench he was greeted with one
of the most tremendous ovatlons
ever accorded an amateur ball player.
And right we'll did he merit it, for Dy
a miraculous piece of work ne had
kept his team at the top of the TIL
county ladder, and had pulled a stunt
we'll calculated to cause Eddie Collins
or any other major league ball player
to poke out his chest and pucker up
his lips. If Charlie Rentz had made
that catch in a major league uniform
ere this article is being penned ne
would have been besieged by about
nine million telephone calls and a
like number of letters from ardent
female admirers, despite the fact that
he is an old married man boasting OF
a family.

Report of Race Riot Result of Esca-
pade of Negro.

Monday morning rumors ran rife
in Bamberg of a reported race riot at
Embree, but investigation proved that
the rumors, so far as race trouble
was concerned, we're wholly without
foundation. 1t was reported in Bam-
berg that several persons, variously
placed from three to five, were dead
on the streets of Embree as the result
of trouble there. AS matter of fact
no one had been killed, and only one
person was injured, and he was only
slightly wounded with bird shot.
1t seems that Sunday night ne
gro went to the home of white fami-
ly and there made an indecent exhibit
tion of himself, frightening the lady
of the house, who gave the alarm. A
chase was made after the negro, and
someone fired upon him with shot
gun, the shot peppering his back.
The man entered a house, and the
men following him thinking perhaps
there were others in the house to aid
the negro they waited until morning
to go in after him. Monday morning
the negro surrendered himself when
called upon without resistance. He is
now in the county jail.
No effort was made to do the negro
injury after he was arrested

II refused a poor woman re.

Ladies' Day on the Edisto.

Friday was ladies' day at the ''Tri-
County Gun and Fish club" at Can
mons bridge, and more beautiful
day could not have been wished for.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kittrell prepared the
dinner, and it was the opinion of each
guest that it was one of the best fish
dinners ever prepared on the Edisto.
The famous Edisto cat fish stew, with
the red horse bread, which is devoid
of bones, was elegant, and the many
very large red breast Dream, which
was fried brown and crisp, was won-
derful
The ladies from Barnwell, Denmark
and Bamberg assembled at the May
flower Inn, where they were met by
Mrs. Brooker, and they rested and
refreshed themselves for half an hour
and then proceeded to the river.
Five tables of bridge whist were
arranged, and the ladies tried their
skill for several hours, and when the
score was added up, it was found that
Mrs. G. J. S. Brooker, of Bamberg,
was the most successful, as she had
won the first prize, a beautiful clock.
The second prize, a pair of silk stock
ings, was won by Mrs. Harry Wanna
maker, of Orangeburg; the BOBBY
prize was won by Miss Exuns of Or
angeburg, a beautiful box of paper,
and the consolation prize was cut by
Mrs. Bob Jennings, of Orangeburg,
it being a box of powder. After din
ner a box of candy was presented to
each guest.
While the ladies played cards, the
gentlemen engaged in contest shoot
ing clay pigeons and targets with
pistols and rifles. In the meantime
the beautiful little launch lula May
was kept busy taking the party for
rides up and down the rizer. The
young college boys carried their bath
ing suits and they enjoyed dip in
the famous Edisto. Those present
from Barnwell we're: Mrs. Barney
Easterling, Mrs. Charlie Brown, Mrs.
Harry Calhoun, Lonnie Calhoun,
Mrs. Keys Sanders, Mrs. Solomon
Blatt, Mrs. Kate Patterson, Mrs. Min
ME Calhoun, Mrs. Stanley Dicks;

er. Miss Easterling and Miss Addys
HAYS, Mrs. Gilmore Simms, Mrs. F.
B. McCrackin. Col. Harry d. Cal
houn, of Barnwell, "chaperoned" the
crowd, and there was no lack of in
terest during the entire day. the
party enjoyed themselves under the
large oaks that span the river and
the ladies voted to have just such
a marty once a month hereafter

The People Compliments The Herald

The Herald's sporting writer is
mighty glad the Barnwell People
likes his writing so we'll, and heartily
thanks the People for it's fatterlng
compliment in the last issue of that
esteemed journal. The Herald nao
no idea that the People couldn't find
anything better to say of the recent
Bamberg-Barnwell game in BarnWell
than to copy in full the Herald's re-
port of the game in Bamberg several
DAYS before that, merely changing
the names. But The Herald is not
surprised that the Barnwen People
played up Barnwell's, victory in box
car letters with triple column head
ing on the front page. In the past
few years BarnwelIs ball teams nave
become so accustomed to being de-
feated by Bamberg that it is quite
natural for them to rear up on thelr
hind legs and bray when they do get
one from us. And then too just look
how many games Bamberg has lost
and then it can be easily understood
why any team might justly feel a
sense Of pride to win a game from
this bunch we have. Therefore go
to it, Mr.. Sporting Editor of the Peo-
ple. it might be many long days be-
fore you have the opportunity again;
it's been a long time since the last;
so we don't blame you in the least fol-
celebrating.

ISLANDS BEING
 STOCKED UP BY
 FOX RANCHERS
Fox Farming Industry Being Developed-Stocks Placed
 On Nearby Islands.

| Renewed development in the fox
 farming industry in Southeastern
 Alaska is told of by Lee Harpole
 St. Elias lighthouse keeper, who
 arrived in town last week for a l short stay. Two islands, Inian and Lemosurer, near Icy Straits already have received stock and at least
 one other island near Juneau is to
 be restocked, according to MT. Har-
 pole.
 He made the trip from Cordova to Hoonah with Capt. J. P. Ibach, who has been raising foxes for sev-
 eral years on Middleton Island, in
 the Prince William Sound district
 for export. From Middletown Island, Capt. Ibach brought eight blue fox pups to Lemesurer Island adding them to 24 which he placed there last summer He also brought 40 animals, also blues, to Indian Island for Jack Carson, that location hav- ing been secured by him for breed ing and raising purposes Capt Ibach had planned to add 50 pair to his stock at Lemesurer Island this fall, but owing to incleTent wealth CT was unable to do so. These will be brought down early next spring.
 Carson, now on 1nian Island, has been associated with Joe Hill and Frank Townsend on Wingham Island near Katalla. That loca tion. however, has been outgrown by the business and it has been found necessary to seek other islands. On this account the old firm has split up, Carson starting alone on Inian Island. Mir. Hill ap- piled fer permission to use Sullivan Island, in Lynn Canal near Haines while MT. Townsend will remain on Wingham.
 The islands in Southeastern Alaska are declared by Mir Harpole to be ideal for the establishment of fox ranches and in his opinion, it is but a question of time util most of them are utilized for this purpose On all of them, he says. those who have investigated the matter have found plenty of feed and favorable climatic conditions.
 Mr Harpole will be in Juneau until the Alaska arrives. and will return to Cordova on it.

FIRST CITY, IN
 URGENT NEED OF
 NEW INDUSTRIES
Senator Heckman Declares Pulp Manufacture Will
 Maintain Prosperity.

A new industry is needed to con tinue Ketchikan in its present state of prosperity. according to Sen. J. R. Heckman, who arrived in Juneau on the Jefferson last night, and the in troduction of paper pulp manufacture is looked upon at the possible say for of the town.
 'Ketchikan is now at it's height Sen. Heckman said, '' and though we realize this, we are continuing to build just as if it were a perma- nent town The fishing industry has brought many people and much money to Ketchikan this season, but to keep up our present pace, we must find a new industry. The intro duction of paper pulp manufacture is almost an assured proposition down there now, and we expect that it will keep the town from the slump likely to follow the present prosper ity, unless new resources are de veloped.'
 Indicating his faith in the town, Sen. Heckman is building a new $10O,000 structure to house his store. Two stories, it will be of concrete and cover half block. The lower floor will be used for his merchan disc business, the front part of the second floor for offices. and the rear of the second floor for a store room.
 Senator Heckman, who was chair man of the committee on fishing in the Territorial Senate at its last ses- sion, and prominent in the fishing industry in Southeastern Alaska, ar rived in Juneau to attend the hear ing on regulations governing the use of floating traps, which will be held here tomorrow
