KILLS WIFE AND
COMMITS SUICIDE
ID, PRESTON BERRY AUTHOR OF
DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Jealousy AS Cause
Seyen-Year-Old Daughter Finds Her
Mother and Father Dead
Monday Morning.
Jealousy AS Cause

Orangeburg, June I'D. Preston
Berry, young farmer of the Neeces
section, Sunday night or Monday
morning shot and instantly killed his
wife and then committed suicide by
firing bullet through his brain.
It is alleged that Berry was enrag-
ed through Jealousy and shot his
wife probably early Monday morning.
The father and mother were found
early Monday morning by a seven
year-old daughter, the mother lying
in the bed, her baby in her arms, with
bullet through her temples, and the
father sprawled out upon the floor
with pistol ball through his brain.
Only two unloaded shells were
found in the pistol, and it was the
pistol of D. P. Berry. The shooting
created quite a stir in that commun-
ity, and one Spires was arrested, but
the authorities generally believe that
Berry shot and killed his wife and
then took his own life. They we're
white people of good standing in their
community. The shooting took place
about fifteen miles from Orangeburg,
just out of the town of Neeces.

The molasses plan is meeting with
success in other parts of the state.
A few days ago a Batesburg firm
made an experiment with the idea,
and the result is reported as follows:
"Following our conversation yes
terday we tried the arsenate of CAL
cium with the molasses mixture yes
terday afternoon putting small
amount on one stalk of cotton and
covering the same with a wire cage
and put eight boil weevils inside the
cage in bottle One of the weevils
stayed in the bottle, another got out
and got fastened up in the top be-
tween the wire and the frame where
we found him this morning and the
other six got on the stalk and we
found these dead. The two which
did not get any of the poison last
night we put on the stalks this
morning and they got taste OF the
poison and they died in about four
hours afterwards. According to our
way of figuring only six of these got
any of the poison and resulted in a
perfect score of dead weevils.'

SOLVES 'sERPENT TOMB"
Grave in Savannah Cemetery That Of
BulIoch.

Savannah, June 9.-There is no
longer any mystery about the ser
pent tomb in Colonial cemetery that
has figured in legends and tales of
early Savannah life for more than a
century. The mystery has been solv-
ed by the cutting into the marble the
name of the person in whose memory
it was erected. 1t rests over the re-
mains of kinsman of Theodore
Roosevelt.
The inscription placed on the stone
says, "Archibald Bulloch, first presi-
dent of Georgia 1776-1777. Born in
South Carolina 1880. Died in Savan-
nah 1777. Patriot, soldier, states
man. Georgians, let the memory of
Archibald Bulloch live in your
breasts. Tell your children of him
and let others tell another genera
tion.''
Until this inscription was cut the
monument VI oil OUO41OA
twelve feet high, with a snake in cir
cular form on each side. Each snake
was in the act of swallowing itself.
Miss Emma Bulloch, of Washing
ton, D. c., great-great-grand-daugh
ter of Archibald Bulloch, came to Sa-
vannah and had the inscription in
serted. Archibald Bulloch was the
great-grand-father Of Mittle Bulloch,
| the mother of Theodore Roosevelt
The tomb, with its encircling snakes
typifying enternity, has aroused the
greatest interest for generations and
many fanciful legends as to its origin
and the identity of him who rested
under the stone have been extant
Miss Bulloch says there has never
been any mystery in her family about
| the tomb.

Calhoun Man Stripped and Left in
Woods.

st. Matthews, June 12.-While on
his way to Sandy Run Lutheran

name of Livingston was held up by
three soldiers from Camp Jackson
and brutally beaten, stripped of his
clothing, robbed of the car in whcdh

woods near Cridois's springs on the

best known Baptist ministers of the

to developing a fund for aged min

$500 Per Year in Advance

A good bit of enthusiasm has been
prevalent among the farmers during
the past few days. Experiments have
been made by a number of farmers
with a mixture of calcium arsenate
and plain molasses in the fight
against the boil weevil. All the ex-
periments are said to have been sue
cessful, and every farmer who abs
tried the poison is highly elated over
the results. 1t is pretty general
belief that where the mixture is used
the farmer has good reason to hope
for success in his fight with Mr.. B.
Weevil.
This method of poisoning the wee
vii comes from Georgia, where it is
said a preacher hit upon the idea OF
using bait for attracting the weevil
to the poison. The Augusta Chronicle
has given wide publicity to the meth
cd, and it states uneauivocally that
the method is success. Farmers in
many parts of Georgia are using the
method On a large scale this season,
and it is said that weevilS are being
killed out literally by the millions.
The method is to use a mixture OF
calcium arsenate, water and molas-
ses. This is mopped on the bud OF
each cotton plant. The theory is that
the weevil will be attracted by the
moIasses, and in short time after
partaking of the dainty morsel the
weeyil is hors du combat. While the
method has been laughed at by many,
the theory is no more complex than
that involved in batting flies to
tanglefoot paper, or to poison set out
in saucers or plates. The originator
of the molasses method discovered
accidentally or otherwise, it is said
that the weevil is very found of mo-
lasses. When he found that this was
a fact, the idea occurred to him that
if molasses were applied to stalk OF
cotton the weevils would go to it
the same as fly will go to lump OF
sugar; the plan of mixing poison
with the molasses was a natural con-
sequence to the discovery that the
weevils like molasses.
The formula as published number
of times in the Augusta Chronicle is
as follows: Mix two pounds of calci'
um arsenate with one quart of water;
then mix this with one gallon Of mo-
1asses. Some farmers are advocat,
ing using two quarts of water, in
stead of one, to two pounds of cal
cium arsenate and a gallon of molas'
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1921-06-16
Killing the Boil Weeol With
Calcium Arsenate and MoLasses

ses. This can be easily determined
by experiment. The results are seen
in short time.
This mixture is applied with a
mop to the bud of each stalk, the bud
being the center of the plant, and the
usual abode of the weevil.
Monday morning several Bambers
farmers tried out the method. 1t was
applied to some stalks Of cotton on
which were as many as four weevlls
and it is said that every weevil quick
" went to the molasses, and that
they were dead as result of their
repast in a short time afterward. II
is stated that cotton fields may be
treated with poison by this method
for fifty cents per acre.
The original formula called for one
pound of calcium arsenate, but eX-
periments by Georgia farmers seem
to indicate that two pounds is the
better investment.
The Herald invites all farmers who
have tried the method to write us the
results they have achieved. If the
experiments are as successful as it is
indicated, the method will be worth
thousands of dollars to Bamberg
county farmers. For after all is said
and done about other crops, this Sec
ton of the country is cotton section
and nothing else quite takes the place
of the good old crop.

The town authorities are making a
strenuous effort to compel the rail-
roads to comply with their agreement
made several years ago to build new
union station. This is very badly
needed as the town has outgrown the
present station.
