trating under it. As matter of fact, in comparatively few of these places had the earth shoulder been put in yet; only the loose earth had been left lying where it had been thrown when the paving was cleared.
 In two places visited, where gall vanized iron pipe of the Water Us- CTS association ran under the pave ment, the earth had sunk into the trench, just above and below the paving, affording the flood something to tear at. At those points there was considerable undermining of the pav- ing. though the subgrade farther in from the edges was found to be solid. It should be stated that both these places and all places where there had been encroachments upon the sub grade were at points where it had been necessary to depart from it's low-level policy to accommodate the road to elevations at crossings or ap- breaches to crossings.
 Where the earth shoulders had been put in the flood seemed to have made no impression as it swept along or across. It did not even disturb the patches of Bermuda sod which were forming to cover the junction of the earth shoulder with the con- crete shoulder.
 Much Water Yet Remains
 In several places the waters of the flood still covered the paving where the ditch banks on either side were high or where the earth had been thrown higher than the level of the paving when the latter was cleared. In some places this wated had stood at depth of three feet or more As late as yesterday the water was still as high as the running board of an automobile. and at one point, so high as to stall the engine of a low hung car.
 It could not, however, be said that the road had been completed, but the draining of the road at these points into adjacent ditcTes will be an easy matter. In fact, the commissioners yesterday at the worst point encount- cred dug ditch to an adjacent ditch by which in a few hours not only the water in the road will be removed, but a great lake of water backed up in a field above will be released.
 The trip covered practically every foot of road in the flooded region. It was found that the repairs would be very simple and inexpensive. In all places some tamping will be re- quired before the restoration of the earth shoulders and in two places near .culverts 1t will be necessary to fill with concrete the excavations which have been made.

THE COUNCIL OF WAR
BY INDIAN" MILLER

White men often ask why Indians uear long hair. There are many reasons; but l will tell fe,u. But first uould ask: Why should tue cut the hair? God willed that men should grow long hair. The races that cut their hair rapidly be- coming baldheaded. Whoever saul baldheaded Indian? Hair protects the head in many ways. The Indian uho lives much in the open and in dry places keeps his face and lips from cracking by urappine his hair around his face; and in the same way he protects his face from flying sand.
 There are many other things we could say; but here Is one reason more important than all. No Indian uith short hair uould have been admitted to council of uar. "A council of uar ,uas coun- ell of men; not of boys ,uomen. It was eonsid- cred mark of eowardiee for an Indian to cut his hair, for he thereby lowered the value of his scalp Those Indians who braided their hair always braided little scalp lock on the back of the head. This was for the convenience of the enemy in talk ing the scalp. It was already to tie to the bridle as an ornament.

PAVED ROADS IF COUNTY LIT TIE
 HURT BY FLOOD
Peculiar Style of Cross
 Section Saved Highways
 an Inspection Trip Over the Whole System Shows Repairs Easily Made.

The paved roads in the path of the Cave Creek flood owe their salvation to two features of construction adopt ed by the county highway commits sion-the low level and the peculiar type of cross section. Both features met with some criticism at the time but later, experts from abroad. though the cross-section was new to them, came to approve it.
 The feature of the cross section is that it's greatest thickness is at the shoulder. For a six-inch road, the shoulder is nine inches, and for a five-inch road, eight inches. This construction was adopted for the double, purpose of giving strength to the road at the lines of heaviest traf- fife and to make more difficult the entrance of water to the subgrade. though no such inundation as that of last Sunday night was then contem- plated.
 Immediately after the flood there were rumors of great damage to the roads. It was reported that in many places the subgrade had been washed out and that elsewhere 1t had been so permeated by water that the con- crete shell might be expected to give way. These rumors appear to have been based on what might have been

 MT. Stephens added that the range was now sufficient to feed ten times as much stock as there is in Arizona: not only to feed it, but to fatten it and make it ready for the market. The outlook for the stockmen is, therefore. a bright one, assured as they are of plenty of feed. They are lacking only a market at good fig ures but even at low figures they will do very well, seeing that the fat that their stock will put on will not have cost them anything.

LOCAL MAN LOSES HIS GAR IN FLOOD

Word was brought to the chamber of commerce yesterday by Frank M. Wilkinson, vice president of the Com merciaI National bank, that M E. Benis, assistant secretary of the chamber of commerce who. with his family has been spending his vaca- ton at Camp Gre K, has lost his car in the recent floocs and is marooned at the Tannehill camp. Sheriff Mont gomery will send an automobile after him today.
 According to Wilkinson, who re- turned from Camp Creek, the bank on which the BoT1is car was stand ing. was undermined by the high water and caved in without warn ing The car was carried about haif a mile down the stream and was practically buried under boulders.
 The road to Camp Creek has been washed out in several places and 1t will be a day or two before it will be repaired sufficiently to permit of easy travel to that section.

CAPITOL CUSTODIAN GIVEN WATCH FUR
 EFFORTS IN FLOOD

Because of his urtiring. at first almost unaided, and night long effort last Sunday night to save the prop erty of the state in the first floor of the capitol building when the flood came, the officials of the state house yesterday presented with appropriate ceremony to Custodian H. M. Alex ander a handsome and valuable watch.
 The progress of restoration of the basement and first floor of the capitol is slow. Pumps were still throwing water out of the basement and scrub bers had taken off some layers of Cave Creek mud from the first floor. Nearly as much of it had been tracked to the upper floors
 The rugs and carpets had been re- moved from the offices and spread upon the wide sidewalks in front and prepared for washing. In fact, the process of washing was under way; that is, the preliminary washing.
 A laundry machine has been se- cured and will perhaps be bought outright, for there is no telling when it will be needed again. It may. be called a managing machine, driven by electric power. It is tc be used pri- marily for the ironing out and dry ing of the documents of, the state corporation commission. consisting in large part of original copies of art icles of incorporation and amend ments.
 After that it will be used in the office of the state auditor and per hape some of the documents from the ha Sement which have not heen lIfferlX destroyed by the action of the muddy water will be run through it.

HOTELS GIVE BEDS
 TO FLOOD REFUGEES

One of the volunteer workers who assisted the sherifrs office in giv- ing relief and furnishing quarters to those caught in the Cave Creek flood Sunday night was Mrs. Rose Long, proprietor of the St. Francis hotel. Mrs. Long appeared at the scene of the flood in her automobile soon aft CT deputies from the sheriff's office began. bringing out those marooned by the flood.
 A large number of the people brought out had no friends in the city and no funds. Mrs. Long told officers to take families with chill dren to her hotel. Many women with small babies were given beds for the night free of charga and in many cases the refugees were also given breakfast the next morning.
 One woman with two small chill dren suffering from the whooping cough brought out by deputies and Mrs. Long at once took charge of the family. The woman told the dep- uty who took her to the hotel that she had never stayed in a hotel be- fore and asked him to show her how to run water into the bath tub.
 More than 25 families, mostly women and children, were cared for by Mrs. Long, according to Under sheriff c. H. Bowers. Mrs. Lone took only those who were unable to furnish themselves with lodgings The Savoy hotel kept 10 families free of charge. furnishing them with rooms and beds.

What was the purpose of the council of war? It was to declare war or to plan campaign. When war was declared the warriors put on warpaint. The warpaint was sign of mourning as uuell as sign of war; and it generally consisted of blaeb alone.
 It was customary for everyone to stand aside on the trail to allow one in mourning to pass; and man was rash indeed who expected an Indian on the warpath to give half the trail Indians on the warpath were alowed the whole trail. The eoun- eil of war gave this authority.

RANGES NEVER SO
 RICH IN GRASS IN
 THE PAST 25 YEARS

Not in 25 years, said Secretary Ed Stephens of the livestock sanitary board yesterday. has there been such an abundance of feed on the ranges as there is now. Twenty five years ago late rains turned the ranges and the deserts green over many portions of the state, but not over so wide an area as is now carpeted by grasses.
 MT. Stephens has returned from a tour of the southern counties. Be- tween Florence and the New Mexican border. he said. there is an unbroken field of grasses ranging in height from F to IS inches. gramma grass and every forage plant known to the cattle country.
 Over thousands and thousands of acres this grass is fit for cutting. so that hay making on large scale is to

It is gratifying to note that inter
est has increased in the cotton acre
age reduction movement in this
county. The meeting at the court
house Tuesday was we'll attended by
farmers from nearly every section OF
the county. A noteworthy fact that
was brought out at the meeting was
that while in some counties of this
state last year from 20 to 80 acres
of cotton were planted per plow, the
average in Bamberg was not more
than eight to ten acres. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that the farmers OF
this county are in far better circum-
stances today than most Of the coun-
ties of South Carolina. 1t appears
that the less cotton planted last year
the less money was lost on the crop.

The Herald has not had the oppor-
tunity of talking with Representa-
tive Riley recently, but it has had an
expression from the other two mem
bers of the Bamberg delegation to
the general assembly, Mr. Kearse and
DR.. Black. Both of these gentlemen
express themselves as opposed to any
increase of appropriations at the pres
ent session of the general assembly
in fact, we should judge that they
are inclined to the belief that the
appropriations should be reduced
While we do not know Mr. Riley's
attitude, we believe we can safely say
that he is also opposed to an in
creased appropriation bill.

Don't Neglect Your Fruit Trees.

l-nder normal conditions the i'm
nortance OF the home orchard is sup
plementing the family food supply is
TOO great to be estimated. There
fore. with the invasion OF the cotton
boil veevil, a menace to the south 5
money crop and a pest to remain
with us-and the abnormal prices Of
foodstuffs. a few fruit trees should
be planted about every home. Fall
and winter months are best for or
chard work and there is only one
thing that pays better than having a
sound knowledge of how to care for
an orchard; and that is to use it and
make yours the best in the county.
The mere fact of a high priced fruit
tree planted does not insure fruitful
returns, and if they are not properly
cared for, all the owner gets for his
labor and money invested is insects
and disappointment. We urge you
to begin at once and either plant a
few trees or prune, spray and culti-
vate those you already have and give
them a fair chance and not results.
The shortage of good trees and
vines with the prevailing high prices
of fruit should be accepted as an OBJ
iect lesson and the com bination ought
to encourage the planting of a few
fruit trees on every farm and better
attention given to the old orchard.
fl you have home orchard or even
better a few scattered paintings Of
fruit trees that are worthy of atten-
ton, begin a once to prune, spray,
worm and cultivate, otherwise ar
range to plant one-fourth acre Cap
proximately 80 trees and vines). At
this time trees and vines to plant
one-fourth acre, which is enough to
supply the average family, will cost
between $1,000 and $500. You can't
afford to neglect yours, as the fruit
trees when neglected will gradually
decline in vigor and finally die.
In conjunction with the county
agents throughout the state a cam
paign of winter pruning, spraying and
related work is already in progress
in the various counties. The horti-
cultural specialists Of the extension
service, Clemson College, S. c., have
arranged and are now carrying out
a schedule by which to spend one to
three days with each county agent.
If you are interested in growing fruit
trees either on large or small scale,
and desire information, write, phone
or ask your county agent for informa-
ton concerning orchard week and
arrange to attend some of the field
demonstration in pruning and spray
ing that will be given over the coun-
ty during the week that is desig-
mated as "orchard week."
Get behind this movement and let's
see good orchard on every farm
throughout the county.

Davis,

The city of Bamberg is to be con-
graduated upon the selection OF the
new commissioners of public works.
The three gentlemen named are bus
mess men of undoubted ability, men
Of big business who have handled
their own affairs successfully, and
who, it may be confidently expected,
will handle the waterworks and pow
er plant with like success. We do
not believe that three better men
could have been found for the i'm
portant work of rehabilitation of the
public utilities of the town.

The Herald cannot bring itself to
believe that there exists necessity
for woman's dormitory at the Uni
versity of South Carolina. 1t would,
of course, be very nice to have sucn
a building, and we sympathlze with
the ambition to secure this woman's
building. We trust that one day 1t
will be a reality Under the present
conditions. however, we cannot see
the wisdom of an appropriation for
this purpose There are institutions
in this state for the women that we
think will answer very we'll. The
state has spent enormous sums OF
money to provide the women's in
stitutions with the facilities for
lighter learning, and while it is true
that many women doubtless desire
the special instruction given at the
university, this number is not great.
If the instruction at the women's
institutions is inadequate, we sug-
gest raising the standard to meet the
needs of the women. It must be re-
membered that the people have
groaned under the burden of war
time taxation for several years past.
There has been little demurring on
account of high taxes Of the recent
past because. as rule, the people
were able to pay heavy taxes. Now
thev are not. No one is any longer
making money because of the war,
and it is quite enough to pay the reg
ular taxes this year without the ad-
ditional burden of an expense that
IS not an absolute and immediate ne
cessity. The people Of the state have
gotten along this long without the
voman's building. and We believe
that the state can get along, without
serious injury to the caCse Of higher
education, for some years to come
without this expenditure. The Her
aid believes that it is the duty of
the legislature to not appropriate a
single dollar that is not absolutely
necessary this year.

Invaded Home, Is Charge.

Probably the most sensational
story was told the jury in court of
general sessions shortly before the
noon recess today when Charley New
man, charged with forgery, took the
stand and sWOre that f. NJ. Grisseette,
editor of the Woodruff News, had in
vaded the sanctity Of Newman's home
and had stolen his Wife's affections.
Mr.. Grissette. Newman said, admitted
that he loved Mrs. Newman far more
than he loved his own wife, who was
not living at Woodruff at that time.
Newman said Mr.. Grissette signified
his willingness to do anything to
make restitution to the Newman home
and it was finally decided that Girls
sette was to contribute to the upkeep
of the Newman household, which con-
sisted of Mr.. and Mrs. Newman and
their small son. After that time New
man swore that many checks were
given the Newman family by Mr.. Girls
settle and later on when Newman was
out of work Mr.. Grissette practically
supported the Newman home. the wit
ness said
Newman testified Grissette came to
him one day and told him that the
Grissette account at Woodruff bank |
had been overdrawn and that he
(Grissette) was in serious trouble be-
cause of this state Of affairs. The
matter was discussed by the two men
at length and it was finally decided
that Newman would leave the state
and allow the authorities to conclude
hat he had forged the checks he had
cashed, Newman told the twelve
jurors.
Grissette met him in Spartanburg
and handed him $3.50, he said, and
Newman immediately went to Au-
gusta. While in the Georgia city
Newman testified Grissette sent him
$40 with which to pay his board.
Later Newman went to Gastonia
and a short time later he was arrest
ed and brought back to Spartanburg
to face trial on the charge Of forging
Grissette's name to a check for S14.
Newman was found guilty, however,
and was sentenced to one year in
the penitentiary this afternoon
