whether shareholders or depositors,
who have entrusted their funds to
his management.h His fduciary rela-
ton furthermore devolves on him the
charge Of moneys belonging to wild
ows, orphans and tohers toward whom
particularly he stands in an exactlng
position.
Every resource that the banker
had, of energy, sagacity and discre-
ton, has been required to the steer
ing of safe course, between reck-
lessness on the one side, which would
have been breach of faith, and a tim
orous convervatism o. the other which
would have been equally failure to
function rightly. His. has been IN
every sense mans job. Good men
and true have collapsed under It's
demands, as we have seen; tried be-
yond their powers of endurance: Sure
ly if others, perhaps equally harrass-
ed, but made of sterner stuff, have
carried on" through it all, yet have
been on occasions a little curt or
brusque, we ought not to cherish re-
sentiment or rancor. The French say
that to understand all is to pardon all.
Our bankers for the most part have
acquitted themselves manfuly and
faithfully. Let's try to understand
their trials. Undoubtedly the burdens
they carry would be appreciably
lightened if they could feel that their
communities gave them little more
of comprehension, forbearance and
sympathy.

would cut out the great Chinese crop
which can be sold here so much less
than our native crop because they can
grow them so much cheaper in China.
Now the rumor has gone out that this
provision of the Fordney tariff bill
is to be left out so that the Chinese
peanut crop can come in here at a
lower price than our native crop and
the big peanut crushing plants are
cutting the price on this report. This
probably has some bearing on the
price of cotton seed oil also, as it is
admitted that the supply Of that will
be very short.
We do not believe in the Fordney
tariff bill as a relief measure of any
real value. 1t will, however, appeal
to the peanut grower as protective
of some value and there
might be some excuse for this item
as a genuine "infant industry" 1t is
a case of allowing our sympathy to
run away with our traditional politics
and before endorsing any sort of pro-
tective scheme we need to consider
more than the phase of temporary re-
lief.

THREE MURDERERS
NOT ELECTROCUTED
Fox, Gappins and Kirby Still Live

The State, 22nd.
Yesterday, the scheduled fatal day
for S. J. Kirby, Jesse Gappins and G.
O. Fox, the three convicted murder
ers of William Brazell, passed
away and none of the three men were
electrocuted as originally sentenced
by the court at Lexington. The three
men were scheduled to die yesterday
for murder that stirred the populace
of the state because of its brutality.
The three men admitted the murder
either to officers of the law or on the
stand during the trial. They all sue
ceeded in getting appeals to the su-
preme court and will live to see new
year ushered in and perhaps longer.
The three cases have attracted
widespread attention and their pro-
gress through the courts has been
watched with interest by people in
practically every walk of life.

ECLIPSE OF MOON
Greenwood Index was Right-Some-
thing Was Wrong

The Greenwood Index of Monday
said that something was wrong with
the moon Sunday night. It also said
that something wrong" was probably
an eclipse. The New York Times of
Sunday warned it's readers to look out
for the eclipse, saying:
"There will be a partial eclipse of
the moon tonight. The moon will rise
at 5:56 p. m. with shadow of the
earth already upon it and which will
not totally pass away until 1884 p. m.
Of unusual interest is the fact that
the rising of the moon in partial
eclipse follows Immediately the set
ting of the sun, giving the spectator
a practical demonstration of the cause
of the phenomenon.
"The coming of the eclipse direct
ly, after the reported discovery of
vegetation on the moon has caused
speculation as to the effect of the
earth's shadow on growing crops
there. Presumably, the eclipse pro-
duces cold wave which blights plant
life, if the changing colors observed
by Professor W. H. Pickering in the
moon craters do indicate plant life.
"The moon has fourteen days Of
sunshine followed by fourteen days
of darkness. During the dark period
most of the surface is believed to
reach the absolute limit of frigidity.
According to the Pickering theory
two days and a half of sunshine on
the cloudless and atmosphereless
moon warns it sufficiently to start
the vegetation, some of which reaches
maturity in two days. On such veg
citation the eclipse would come as a
killing frost.
The earth is kept warm over its
short night by the blanket of atmos-
phere, especially water vapor, which
absorbs and holds the heat but in the
absence of any such heat retaining
envelope the moon presumably sends
heat rebounding into space almost as
fast as it arrives from the sun. The
moons atmosphere, if there is any,
is several hundred times thinner than
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1921-10-25

that which governs climatic condl-
tions along the line of perpetual snow
on earth.
However, Professor Pickering be-
lieves that two crops grow on the
moon during the fourteen-day span
of sunshine in some parts, so that the
moon inhabitants, of doubtful exist
ence, will not necessarily suffer IA
mine"

A Good Word for Bankers
Anderson Mail.

t4ilOSISOu NndlI
Perry Buckingham, 40 years busy
banker in Barnwell-yet never too
busy to perform any of the manifold
public duties of the all round good
citizen-was month ago promoted
against his will to be president of the
Bank of Western Carolina, having
eight branches and a many-sided, ex-
tensive business. Sunday afternoon
last he died by his own hand, leaving
a letter which indicated, between the
lines not less than in the text, that
he had broken under the strain Of his
responsibilities.
His lamentable end, like that of an
other gallant gentleman nearer home
not so long ago, ought to make the
rest of US understand somewhat bet
ter than we have, what stress our
bank officers have undergone in the
recent trying past-and yet undergo
ing, FIR that matter:
Most of US, whatever our fields,
have had our own special troubles in
the same period. The banker, how
ever, holds in such times a relation
peculiarly delicate, difficult and re-
sponsible. Obligated to serve his COM
munity to the utmost practicable ex-
tent, and as rule eager to do so, he
is at the same time bound, also to
safeguard the interests of the many,

ABBEVlLLE HIGH
BEATS NEWBERRY
AbbeviIle Boys Get Away to Early
Start and Make Three Touch
downs in First Half
Press and Banner.

Press and Banner.
The Abbeville high school boys got
away to good lead yesterday after
noon and won from Newberry high
20 to @. The first touchdown came
in the first four minutes of play, fol-
lowing blocked kick recovered for
Abbeville. Harris carried the ball
across and Galloway kicked goal. An
othe- touchdown ccme Ill the first
quarter after an Al >eville back recov-
cred Newberry tumble and Smith,
Long, Gambrell and Galloway had
made good runs. Smith made the
second counter and Galloway kicked
goal.
The third touchdown came near the
Nend of the second quarter when
Smith recovered a blocked kick and
ran 25 yards with the ball and cross
ed the line. Galloway missed the
goal, the first he has missed in ten
tries. This completed the scoring.
Newberry tightened up in the second
half and played good game. Abbe-
Vile made nine first downs to New
berry's FIVE.
All the Abbeville boys played with
plenty of ginger yesterday, the team
working together perfectly. The de-
fensive playing was much better than
that exhibited in the Anderson game,
the line and backs frequently getting
the Newberry backs behind the line
and throwing them for losses. Three
punts were blocked and Smith alone
intercepted three passes. Newberry's
downs were made principally on pass
es.
Abbeville's goal was not seriously
in danger but once, near the end OF
the game when a poor kick by Abbe-
vile and a long pass Tarrant to
Cromer and short gain around end
placed the NeWberrians on the ten
yard line in position to score but they
lacked the drive to put it over and
lost the ball on downs.
The Newberrry quarterback show
ed unusual GOODNESS in continuing to
run his team at sfail's pace with
the whole field hooting at him. He
certainly should have won the game
if coolness and deliberation would
win it. Despite Tarrant's seeming eff
fort to play to the stands, he played
a good game, getting off some good
tackles while playing at defensive
position. Prof. ]. L. Keitt, Jr., the
Newberry coach, accompanied the
team.
Members of the visiting team were
Adams, Boozer, Renwick, Burns,
Virgins, Caldwell, Croner, Harde-
man, Spearman, Tarrant and Eddy.
Abbeville played the usual lineup ex-
cept in the last half a number of the
substitutes got into the fray, all of
them showing up unexpectedly well.
Todd (Furman) was referee, Sweten-
burg (Clemson} healdinesman; Pad
gett (W. & L. umpire, and Fulp (P.
Co. timekeeper.
