Many new Impressions Of the park

3 YEARS TO BUILD; 4 TO REMOVE.
Devastation at Helgoland Will Take
1000 Men Years.

Every day is fourth of July cele-
bration on the little rocky island Of
Helgohnd. And not a safe and sane
celebration at that.
At sunrise the 1000 German work
men who are dynamiting tho pet
fortress and naval harbor of Kaiser
William II set off their blasts. The
bonn bardment keeps up throughout
the day. Charges of INT make the
water in the naval harbor spout up
like geysers in the Yellowstone park
and the big gun pits on the summit
of the rocky cliff give an occasional
roar like Vesuvius and belch out
great clouds of black smoke and
pulverized concrete.
For two years more the work Of
devastation will continue night and
day. 1t took Kaiser William II eight
years to build the great fortress and
naval harbor which defended the
Kiel canal and afforded Germany's
navy base close to England. 1t cost
Germany 50,000,000 of gold marks.
The cost of diminishing it, which
Germany must also bear in accord
ance with the terms of the Versailles
treaty, will probably be about A.
100000 of gold marks.
Helgoland proper is a stony tri-
angle less than mile long and
scarcely a quarter of mile wide in
the broadest section. 1t stands near
ly 200 feet above the waters of the
North sea at a point 81 miles north
west of Cuxhaven, the entrance to
the Kiel canal. The walls of the is
land are practically perpendicular,
but at it's southeastern end is small
beach, upon which the german navy
erected coaling and oil station,
fresh-water reservoirs seaplane
sheds and docks. Here also was con-
structed naval harbor thoroughly
protected by sea walls, which was
capable of accommodating eight or
ten destroyers or cruisers and an un-
limited number of submarines.
Already the 1-inch guns and their

SOUTH CAROLINA COTTON CROP.
so Per CT. Normal August 25 Against
81 Per Ct. July 25.

According to report of B. B. Hare,
Agricultural Statistician in South
Carolina for the Division ofCrop Esti-
mates. United States Department OF
Agriculture, condition Of cotton in
the State on August 25, was so per
cent. of normal, against 62 per cent.
on July 25 and II per cent. on Au-
gust 25, 1920.
A condition of so per cent. indi-
Gates a total production in the State
of approximately $4,000 bales. How
ever, the final outturn will be larger
or smaller as conditions hereafter are
better or worse than the average. The
total production in the state last year
approximated 100000 bales, while
in 1919 it was 1,422,0O0 bales and
100000 bales in 1918.
The condition for the entire United
States on August 25 was 49.3 per
cent. of normal, as against 64.7 per
cent. on July 25 and 67.5 per cent on
August 25 last year, 61.4 per cent.
1919 and 55.7 per cent. on the cor
responding date of 1918. The fore
cast Of total production for the Unit
ed States at present is 1887, 900
bales, against 13,365,000 bales last
year.
Speaking of the report Mr.. Hare
says:
"The unusual amount of rainfall in
southern half of state during July
and August was not only unfavora Bile
for cotton but was highly favorable
for boil weevil propagation and in
festation. Little or none Of the fruit
formed during the past thirty days
has escaped the boil weevil ravages
in the central and southern counties,
and for the past fifteen days or more
the weevil has been attacking bolls
three-fourths grown and younger.
Fields personally inspected show
from 40 to 80 per cent. of the bolls
have been punctured in the sections
referred to. While no wide spread
damage has been observed in Oconee,
Pickens, Greenville, Spartanburg,
Cherokee and York counties the wee
vii has made it's appearance in this
section, and while not so severe as in
the mere southerly counties consld-
erable damage is found in sections OF
Abbeville, Anderson, Laurens, Union,
Chester and Lancaster counties. In
sections of Greenwood, Newberry.
Fairfield, Kershaw, Chesterfield,
Marlboro and Dillon counties infesta-
ton has been limited, whereas in
other portions of these counties 1t has
been more or less severe"
Condition July 25 and August 20 is
shown by counties in table below.

Address by j, A. Virgins.

Olar, Sept. 1.-The Olar public,
and especially the Sunday school pub
lie, was treated to lecture Sunday
by ]. A. Virgins, of Denmark. We
suspect it would not be technically
correct to say that lIr. Virgins was
in rare form,' as he always seems
to be in the same kind OF condition.
1t is quite safe, however, to say
that his talk on "the responsibilities
of fatherhood' was a real treat. 1t
was given the strictest attention, be-
cause those present came expecting
something, and from what We can
learn, everybody went home with
their expectations fully satisfied.

LIGHTS OF IMMENSE POWER.
Rays From Points on United States
Coast are Visible Seventy Miles.

The highest beacon light maintain
ed by the United States for warning
navigators is at Cape Mendocino, CAL,
422 feet above sea level. 1t has
range of % miles.
The brightest light and one of the
most brilliant in the world is at
Navesink, n. j., on the highlands at
the entrance of New York bay. 1t
is 25,00O,0O0 candle power and it's
glare has been seen from 70 miles
out in the ocean.
The largest lighthouse E'lens'' is at
Makapuu point, on the island of Oahu
(Hawaiian group. Its beam at night
brings first news to voyagers from
the United States that they are near
ing the mid-Pacifc archipelago. 1t
is called tshyperradient," the inside
diameter of the lens being about nine
feet and that of the glass lantern in
closing it 16 feet.
The lens of the Navesink light in
closes a powerful electric arc. But,
generally speaking, kerosene is the
preferred illminant for many light
houses.
A lens frequently is built up of
glass prisms arranged in panels, the
object being to concentrate the light
into a beam of maximum brilliancy
and range. Some lighthouse lenses
are so arranged as to revolve, con-
trivance Of the sort, weighing perhaps
5000 pounds, being floated upon mer-
curry and thereby turned so easily
that a small bit of clockwork actual
ed by a 1O0-pound weight will oper-
ate it.

RUSE DID NOT FAIL.
Unarmed Citizens Capture Escaped
Convict Near Greenwood.

Greenwood, Sept. 3.-Unarmed
and by accident, W. T. Bailey, bank
president, and F. S. Evans, promi-
nent cotton seed oil man, captured
Elmer Ledford, an escaped convict,
Wednesday afternoon.
While out riding near Greenwood
they were attracted by the peculiar
actions of stranger and stopped.
81 guess you have come after me-
he said. They assured him that they
had. While they were talking with
the stranger, an officer approached
and arrested him. Neither the pris-
oner nor his captors had any wea-
pons.
Ledford had been serving 60 day
sentence for stealing suit of clothes
from a laundry wagon on the streets.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1921-09-08

carriages have been sawed into small
bits and thrown into scrap steel piles.
Workmen are now plying electrical
drills in the concrete walls and bases,
preparatory to shooting down all the
masonry.
The seaplane sheds, coal bins, oil,
tanks and water reservoirs along the
sea front have also been burned and
dynamited and hundreds of workmen
are grinding away at the gun bases
of the sea-level guns and the founda-
ton of the great sea wall inclosing
the naval harbor preparatory to re-
moving every improvement which
might be of use to Germany's fu-
ture navy.
Helgoland once was popular sum-
mer resort, but the German visitors
do not stay long at the island this
year because of the constant blasting
and the evidence of devastation
which affords a sad monument to
Germany's once proud navy. The
native residents Of the island are in
different to the devastation, as most
of them were born under the British
flag before Helgoland was transfer
red by the British to the Germans.

DEAD IN BALL PARK.
Children Come Upon Body in Grand
stand in Spartanburg.

Spartanburg, Sept. 4.-William
Jackson, 55, of Tucapau, painter by
trade, was found dead this afternoon
on the top seat of the grandstand
of the Tucapau base ball park, by
children playing about the grounds.
Mrs. Abbie Davis, living near the
park, saw a man on the grandstand
and heard a pistol shot shortly before
the body was found. The verdict at
the coroner's inquest was that the de-
ceased came to his death by causes
unknown to the jury.

JAIL IS DEFIED.
Ehhardt Prisoner Escapes Regardless
of Brick, Cuffs and Chains.

Ehrhardt, Sept. 6.-J. D. Williams,
colored, charged with stealing cloth
ing at Olar, was apprehended here
Saturday afternoon and placed in the
guard house, which, to say the least,
is considered an absolutely safe place
to keep culprit, however strong may
be his desire to change his address,
it being constructed of brick, concrete
and iron. Nevertheless, at a late hour
Saturday night smoke was seen COM
ing from the building. Chief Pries-
ter was notified, and upon investiga-
tion it was found Williams had at
tackled the only vulnerable spot in
the structure, the strong wooden
door, by building fire against it,
using some bedding for this purpose.
A hole covering about one fourth of
the doors surface had burned
through, and in a short time the
prisoner would have made good his
escape. To make it doubly sure that
he would have no further chance to
get away he was cuffed and securely
chained to the wall, but the said
prisoner took the poet literally, who
said something to the effect that
stone walls do not prison make,
nor iron bars cage, for when Sum
day morning dawned bright and fair
and hot-it was found that Will
Jams had left sufficient evidence to
lead one to conclude that he pre-
ferred the blue sky for his roof and
the ocean for his front door.
