AS President Harding was taking
the oath of Office a church in Marion,
Ohio, was holding a special prayer
service for the Divine guidance of the
president in the stupendous duties OF
his office as president Of the greatest
country n the world. The news dis
patches state this was in accordance
with the presidents wishes, as he
is a devout believer in the power of
prayer. According to his own state
ments, Mr.. Harding often seeks wis
dom in the seclusion of secret prayer.
His predecessor, Mr.. Wilson, was
likewise a praying man Both the
new president and the retiring presi-
dent are prominent as churchmen as
we'll as in craftsmanship. Mr.. Wilson
is a Presbyterian, and Mr.. Harding
is a Baptist, the first Baptist, by the
way, who has ever occupied the
white house.

The potato curing house is an in
dustry that is worthy of the patron
age Of the farmers. 1t is not very
likely that the owners of this concern
will realize much interest on their in
vestment, and we have no idea that
they expected much interest when
they built the house. The greatest
benefit from the concern will come
to the farmers who plant potatoes.
The sweet potato is one of the coun-
tvs ideal crops. Anybody can grow
potatoes. The weevils do not eat them,
and no matter what kind of weather
we have there are always plenty of
potatoes. The fact that sweet pota-
toes can be prepared for market
through the curing process makes it
one of the most valuable crops that
can be grown. The usual banking
system of keeping potatoes makes it
necessary to sell early in the season,
whether prices are profitable or not.
By curing the potatoes they may be
kept until early summer when prices
are always high.

Richard Carroll, of Columbia, and
G.. T. Walker, of Augusta, are two
truly great negroes. Their greatness
is not thin veneer of popularity
among either colored people or white
people, though they possess both, but
in the principles they stand for. Both
of these men believe that the race
question must be solved by the ne
groes and the white people Of the
south, without outside interference.
They do not believe that political
parties, resolutions and denunciatory
speeches, such as characterize the
remarks of W. D. Chappelle, of Co.
lumbia, will,ever produce the proper
friendly relationship between the
races. The advice of men of this
character is for everybody, white and
black, to attend to their own busi-
ness and treat their fellow man,
white or black, right. If this is done,
all will be we'll.

Ex-President Wilson doubtless has
secured much satisfaction from the
success of at least one of his great
policies-that regarding Mexico.
Years ago Mr.. Wilson laid down the
policy of watchful waiting in regard
to the Mexican problem. Though
frequently offended in manner
that would have gored Roosevelt to
sending war message to congress,
Mr.. Wilson exercised patience with
Mexico. Before Mr.. Wilson laid down
the burdens of office, he had the
pleasure of seeing, so far as the
people knows, a restoration
of peace in Mexico without armed
Intervention from the United States.
Obregon has been inaugurated presi-
dent of thes republic on the couth,
and there is every indication that
he is the man of the hour for that
war-ridden country. Friendly rela-
tions exist between Mexico and
America, and without the war that
seemed could not be prevented few
years ago.

Carlisle's Beauty Spot.

Visitors to Carlisle school this sum-
mer will see one of the prettiest flow
er gardens in the country. The lot
south of the headmasIe:'s residence
has been converte4 fram a vacant
lot into a veritable bower of flowers.
The garden has been neatly fenced
with iron railing, and the entire en-
closure laid off INTO attra ctively de-
signed and symesrical plo1s, in which
has been planted an almost endless
variety of flowers. In the midst Of
the garden a neat summer house has
been erected, around which trailing
vines have been set out. The plants
are now just coming up, and in a
few weeks this bids fair to be the
most attractive flower garden in Bam-
berg. The garden has bee2 styled
by the cadets the ''love nest.''

HEALTH IMPROVES.
Grayson Hopeful of Condition Of
Wilson.

Washington, March 12.-Former
President Wilson, now a private cit
izen, is not a hermit in his S. street
home. On the contrary, he is rid
ing daily, and has already called at
the homes of several senator's.
Those closest to Mr. Wilson declare
that after March +, he felt as if a
load had been rolled off his should
ers, and seemed Immediately to show
signs of physical Improvement. DR..
Grayson, holds, it is understood, that
the change will be of incalculable
benefit to his patient.
There is still general discussion in
Washington regarding the magnifi-
cent manner in which Mr.. Wilson
conducted himself March 4. There is
no question but that his gameness
redounded greatly to his credit. He
was broken in body, but unbending
in spirit.
One significant and characteristic
remark of Mr. Wilson an that epochal
day is not generally known. Senator
Knox, always a gentleman, informed
the stricken president that chair in
the senate had been provided for his
use in the event he cared to view the
exercises.
"No, thank you, SENATOR" returned
Mr.. Wilson. I am not very strong
on my legs"
And then with a merry smile, he
continued: "The senate fell down
on me, you recall, and I would pre-
fer not to fall down on the senate. :"
Senator Lodge was almost rude in
his delivery of message to the
president, and this accounted for
the splendid manner in which the
chief executive bowled him over.
When Lodge entered the presidents S
room, Mr.. Wilson was engaged in
conversation. Without asking par
don, or otherwise attracting his at
tention, Lodge said simply that the
senate wanted to know if Mr.. Wilson
had anything further to communi-
cate.
81 thank you for your courtesy, "
Wilson, said pointedly, freezingly,
and with palpable significance stat
ed. ''Please tell the senate that
icance. "Please tell the senate that
/ have nothing else to communi-
cate."
And then after seconds pause,
during which his eyes held those OF
Lodge enthralled, Mr.. Wilson curtly
remarked: "Good morning, sir"
The former president, it is under
stood has not undertaken literary
work as yet. 1t is not believed that
he will ever practice law although
he may be a consulting attorney, as
sociated with cambridge Colby, on
matters involving fine questions of
international law.

Mayor Ha1tzog Reelected.

The announcement of the reelec-
tion for the fourth term Of Mayor A.
Sidney Hartzog, of Greenwood, will
afford much pleasure to the many
friends of this former Bamberg citi-
zen. In this connection, the follow
ing Greenwood dispatch will be read
with interest:
''In the municipal primary election
held here yesterday Mayor A. Sidney
Hartzog was reelected over his op-
ponent, Paul B. Ellis, by vote of
1926 to 661. This makes Mayor
Hartzog's fourth term as mayor Of
Greenwood and the vote yesterday is
taken as an Endorsement of the work
of the mayor and his administration.
During his service the town put down
much street paving, extending sewer
and water lines and now has in the
bank the amount of 100000 from
the sale of a recent bond issue to do
considerable more street paving and
extend further the sewerage system.
Mayor Hartzog was given quite an
ovation at his home last night by
admiring friends. Aldermen J. B.
Harris and John burst, Jr.,. were re-
elected by good majorities, Harris
receiving the unusual record vote of
43O out of a possible 432 at his home
box in Ward 5. Alderman E. w.
Stalnaker had no opposition in his
ward while Alderman w. H. Yeldell,
Jr., declined to offer for reelection
in ward |. Rufus A. May was elect
ed in that ward over two opponents.
In ward there was a sharp contest,
six candidates offering. There will
be a run over there between Alder
man J. W. Spearman and S. F. Perry.

Saw some ladies walking down the
street the other day during rain.
Funny how people will insist on walk
ing around when it rains. They
might know they will get their feet
wet when they pass water spouts on
the sidewalks. Might take new
monia or something and then sue
the town for damages, and land
knows taxes are high enough as it
stands. Some of the owners of build
ings on Main street have fixed these
pipes, but you must remember times
are hard, and doubtless some of these
property owners have not the nec-
essary change. The right thing for
people to do is to stay at home when
it rains. Surely there are enough
sunshiny days for women to shop
without picking out the wet days and
endangering the towns treasury in
any such manner. ..,

He has started out albright. Ameri-
can folks like to have a voice in at
fairs in Washington, and Mr.. Hard
ing looks like he is trying to do just
that thing. Another guess I'll make:
Some of the Republicans are going to
be very much disappointed with Mr..
Harding. They are going to find
that he is not going to run the coun-
try like the plunderbund some of
them would like to have 1t.

I was told a column Of my junk
would be enough. But I want to
mention one other thing. If the pub
fishers will pardon me for doing it,
I would like to recommend that every
reader of The Herald ought to read
the article in March Cosmopolitan
entitled ''Do We Like to Be Fooled?"
In this article Fred G.. Kelly, magl-
clan, tells how the gentle and gullible
public is done up brown by the spir-
itualists and other such takers. l
cannot go into the article, because
my space won't allow it. But buy,
beg or borrow March Cosmopolitan
and read it. The world is filled with
the spiritism stuff. Most everybody
has touch of it. Do you believe
that ghosts walk, tables tap, spirits
communicate, etc? Very likely you
do to some extent This article will
show you where there is nothing to
it. Some folks say it is the work of
the devil Maybe so. But, after read
ing this article, don't believe it is
the work of anybody or anything ex-
cept plain old fashioned crooks. Read
it and see If you do not agree with

FOUL TIPS
By the Observer.

We'll, l guess the readers Of The
Herald will be surprised to see this
column again. Five years ago the
editors kindly donated me column
in The Herald, for the airing of some
personal views. Times change. 1t
seems like only a few months ago
since I was writing for this column,
yet how many changes have occurred
in this brief period. One change that
has occurred, so The Herald tells me,
in that the paper does not publish
communications wherein personal
views are expressed unless the writer
signs his name. On the solemn prom
ise, however, that will not negotiate
any ''e'ntangling alliances and fur
ther that I will be personally respon-
sible for any statement I make, The
Herald publishers have consented for
me to have some space.

A fellow has to laugh sometimes
when he thinks what funny ideas
people have Last fall, before the
election, lots of farmers would not
sell their cotton because they said
after the election cotton was going
up. 1t did in their imagination. Cot
ton was about 25 cents before the
election. 1t is II cents now. After
the election, they said just wait un-
til Mr.. Harding ascended the white
house rostrum and all would be we'll.
All is we'll with the boil weevil.)
However, I always try to be an opti-
mistic cuss. I never have lost any
thing by it, and perhaps I have gain
ed something. don't believe any
Republican in the white house is
ever going to be as good president
as good Democrat, but I likewise

I had a very annoying experience
the other day. Fellow came up and
inquired if I knew where he could
rent a house in Bamberg. That is
what I call nerve. Wanted something
for about fifteen or twenty dollars a
month. I told him he ought to be
ashamed of himself. The very idea
of renting house for fifteen or
twenty dollars a month. We have
no houses in Bamberg for folks who
cant pay more than that. What good
could such folks be to our town any
way?
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1921-03-17

Say, was that not mighty sorry ad-
vertising you fellows gave Bamberg
the other day? You said that some
fellows, bent on little fun, had gone
on the warpath and made things un-
healthy for people out on Main street.
Now, what's the use of publishing
this? According to what you said,
what was wrong about it? According
to your statement it occurred about
midnight. A few shots fired innocent
ly at the sky can't hit anybody unless
he was in an airplane, and airplanes
should not fly at night. The streets
are fairly deserted at night, and very
few people could have been killed.
Of course, it was sort of bad about
people keeping their stores open late,
but what's the matter with people
closing up their stores and going
home when folks go on the war
path? That's the sensible thing to
do.

That reminds me. When there are
many more industries here, the peo-
pie might object to the whistles. They
do in some towns, you know. Say it
wakes them up about seven O'Clock
every morning. Take this sugges-
ton: The first man that objects to
whistles blowing every morning, or
sixteen times day, for that matter,
just give him swat on the top story
of his bungalow, and then thank the
Lord that there is something in Bam-
berg that can make noise besides
the grumblers.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1921-03-17

Speaking about how things change
Since last filled this column things
have changed in Bamberg. Every
morning now I hear half a dozen
whistles blowing. That is music to
my ears. 1t shows that the town is
growing. And then every night
see the cotton mill running full blast.
I'll tell the world that it looks good
to me. I don't believe word of this
hard times stuff. In 1914 and 1915
there were hard times. I did not hear
many whistles and did not see the
mill running at night then.
