Home Demonstration Club.

The Ladies' Home Demonstration
club will meet this afternoon with
Mrs. H. A. Kearse. Demonstration
will be steam pressure cooking. These
meetings are a service of pleasure as
we'll as profit to our members, and
we must congratulate Miss Warn on
the good work in our county. Some
of our ''pessimists' have said that
there is no use in all these demon
strations during these "hard times,
for we haven't the nice things to
cook at home, nor the dough" to
buy those things to beautify our
homes. We beg to differ here, while
it is true our pantries are not so full
as they once were and money is
scarce, still we fell that we are a
long way from famine, and we are
going to keep on trying Anyway
none of us are too old care we?) to
build "castles in Spain,' and we can
look forward to a time when boil
weevils and postwar conditions gen.
erallv will be thing of the past.
Then, perhaps, we wont have to go
to Spain to find our castles, for we
NAV find them right here in the old
Salkehatchie valley and what grand
and glorious feeling will come over
us when we know that we understand
how to furnish our castle Cor cottage
it may be) with taste. Then when
Mrs. Jones" or "Mrs. Smith" comes
to call they can't criticise us for lack
of taste.

Just in Confidence.

A man got in a cab at Southern
railway station and said: Drive me
to a haberdasher's."
"Yaas, suh," said the driver, whip
ped up his horse and drove block
then he leaned over to address his
passenger "scuse me, boss; wha1
d. you say you wanter go?"
ITO a haberdasher's.'
>'Yes, sub, .yaas, suh.' After an
other block there was the same per
formance: "Scuse me, boss, but Whal
d. you say you wanter go?"
ssTo a haberdasher's," was the
somewhat impatient reply.
Then came the final appeal: Now

give nobody away yit. Now, you ]e!

Cherished Experience.

The spinster waited two or three
hours to be admitted to the presence
of the man whovisited their town once
a month to retail good advice and
his own proprietary medicine. AT
last she was admitted.

Chautauqua Last Week.

Last Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day afternoon and night the people
of our town and community were
treated to feasts of clean, wholesome
entertainments, and inspirational lee
lures. 1t was a rare treat to all who
took advantage of the opportunity,
especially the school children. There
is no doubt but that the Radcliff
shautauqua is a community builder,
and the guarantors who made it pos
sible to have the chatauqua this year
deserve the sincere commentator of
all the people. The greatest asset,
the true worth of any community lies
within it's men and women, it's boys
and girls, and any activity that will
increase their mental and spiritual
development is worth while, more
over it is worth a great deal of sacri-
flee.

It, seems to be the plan of friends
and supporters of Lieut.. Governor
Harvey to elect Governor Cooper as
sociate justice at the next sitting OF
the legislature, and thus elevate Mr.
Harvey to the governors chair. Mr.
Harvey has long aspired to become
governor of South Carolina, and we
are rather inclined to believe that
about the only way he will become
governor is for Governor Cooper to
resign. But Mr.. Cooper will not have
an easy road to an associate justice
ship. There are great many friends
of the governor, who look upon him
as a most amiable and admirable
chief executive, who have more or
less misgivings as to his qualllca-
tions for associate justice. The gov
ernor is a fine man, a thorough gen.
tleman, but those qualifications are
not sufficient to qualify him for the
supreme bench. The Herald has said
before and we repeat it, of all the
candidates, announced and spoken
Of" Mr.. J. F. Carter, of Bamberg,
easily hee is the list, in our opinion
in qualifications of every character.
ard the nan who defeats Mr.. Carter
next January will be the next associ-
ate Justice.

WOOD FOR PENCILS.
Is Becoming Scarcer Every Day and
Causes Worry.

Where do all the lead pencils come
from and where do they go? AL
though almost everybody has one,
many folk never buy one, but even so,
more than 100000 are manufac-
tured for use in the United States
every year using up many thousands
of cords of wood.
But woods suitable for lead pencils
are becoming scarcer and many man
ufacturers are turning to paper. Red
Cedar and Red Juniper, says the
American Forestry association are the
woods chiefly used in making lead
pencils. A hunt is on for other kinds
of wood that will take the place OF
these. In East Africa kind of cedar
has been found with which expert
ments are being made. The production
in the United States is about $4,000
cases of pencil Stats per year. From
each case 100 gross of pencils is
made. This result is about one bill
lion pencils of American grown cedar.
Since one-fourth Of this number is
sent to foreign countries that leaves
$50, 100000 pencils for the home
market, which means an average or
seven pencils per person figuring on
the last census.
As far back as history goes man
has tried to make things to mark
with and to set down his thoughts.
The Aztecs and the Pharaohs had
crude marking devices. AS early as
1850 Kahn, Swedish naturalist,
made experiment with American ce-
dar. In 1912 William Monroe made
500 pencils at Concord and sold them
in Boston but the war stopped his
plans. In 1861 Eberhard Faber be-
gan making pencils on a large scale
in this country.
The graphite which makes the mark
is of course the important part in the
manufacture of the pencil. Ceylon has
furnished much of The graphite used
in this country. Graphite is also found
in Madagascar and in Mexico. Czech
oslovakia contains deposits of both
the amphorous and crystaling graph
ite. In the United States the chief
deposits are in Alabama, New YORK
and Pennsylvania.

It appears unfortunate sometimes
that the broad American principle
guaranteeing freedom and liberty
should provide an avenue of escape
from Just punishment on the part OF
those to whom a speedy visitation OF
punishment is most desirable. This
appears to. be especially true in the
case of the three white men OF Co.
iumbia recently convicted in Lexing-
ton. of the foul robbery and murder
of the taxicab driver. The men con-
fessed to the murder, one of the foul
est crimes ever committed in this
state, and were duly sentenced to pay
the penalty on the 21st Of October
Attorneys representing two of the
men, Gappins and Kirby, have given
notice of appeal to the supreme court,
thus automatically staying execution
of the sentence of death in the elec-
tric chair, and petition is being sign
ed asking the governor to commute
the sentence of the other participant
in the crime, Fox. The right OF ap-
peal is constitutional and cannot be
denied, and yet is it right, is it in the
Interest Of good government, for con-
fessed murderers and robbers to es-
cape their punishment in this man
ner? BY their own admission, and
the men convicted themselves, they
are guilty of foul crime. Appeal,
therefore, apparently can be for no
other reason than delaying just pun
ishment.

There has been a greater tendency,
during the past few weeks, to convict
in the state courts that the state has
known in many years. The jurors
have evidently come to the conclusion
that if crime is to be put down there
must be some convictions in the court
room. This is a healthy indication
of a change of sentiment in South
Carolina, and it is safe to say that If
this attitude is maintained there is
going to be marked decrease in the
commission of crime in this state.
In every portion of the state we read
of conviction of persons for crimes
great and small There are several
persons in the state penitentlary
awaiting execution for murder, and
the penitentiary work shops and farm
and the county chain gangs are being
replenished. In Bamberg county the
chain gang is larger than in several
wears. During the last term Of crim1-
nal court here there was but one ac-
quittal. We should be distressed to
see the conviction of innocent persons
in the courts, but we should like to
see every guilty person convicted.
There has been all too evident in the
past an unnatural sympathy for ac-
cused persons in this state, and it
had almost reached the point that the
criminal had not much to fear at the
hands Of kindly disposed jury. But
the juries are now convicting. apathy
in the court house is disappearing.
The judges. it appears, have taken on
a new determination that the courts
shall assert themselves, and with this
attitude the public may expect a dis
sipation of the crime wave.

gy and time we expend in this direc.

THE 1922 POLITICAL POT.
Williston Paper Discusses Possibiti-
ties-Predicts Carter's Election.

ties-Predicts Carter's Election.
If the reports that are getting
more numerous each day are true,
there will be no scarcity of aspirant IS
for Governor Cooper's position next
year.
An account in a we'll known South
Carolina weekly, whose editor is in
position to know the inside Of some
political dope, puts A. +. Lever,
Wilson G. Harvey and Henry Tillman,
of Greenwood, son Of Senator Till
man, in the possibility class and
states that there is a strong prob
ability that either or 10th Senators
Marion and Laney will be in the
race. There is considerable talk 60
ing the rounds now mostly from!
Charleston sources where the eieva-
ton of the governor would be most
pleasing-that the next legislature
will elect Governor Cooper to the
supreme bench. The report that
Senator Marion is grooming for the
governors race, may mean that he
will not be a candidate for the va
cancy on the supreme Bench in
which case the race would PROBABLY
be between J. F. Carter and NJ. L..
Bonham, and Carter should easily
win. Aside from his age and other
qualities that should commend him
above General Bonham, this section
of South Carolina is entitled to a
representative on the bench. Cover
nor Cooper will be foolish to allow
himself to be run.
A. F. Lever, if he consents to make
the race for governor, will be hard to
beat. He is strong in every way.
When it comes to fitness there is
no man in South Carolina better fit
ted for the next governor than Judge
Mendel L. Smith. He spoke to
large audience in Augusta recently
and words ring true as steel.
Among other things he says: "The
great and vital thing is the enforce
ment of law, and law can only be
enforced if it is the sentiment of
community that it shall be enforced.
The second factor in enforcing the
respect for law is the certainty of
punishment in the courts. This is
your problem and mine to create
healthy public sentiment for law OBJ
servance."
In a masterfuI way, Judge Smith
scored those who proiteered while
American boys bled and died in
France and stated that denomination
al and family differences were for
gotten when our boys marched
against a. common foe. 1t is his idea
that this same combined effort on
our part, and that alone, will suffice
in the fight that must be made on
those who have such wanton dis
regard for the sancity of human life.
If this state turns aside from law
yers, and just as good governors as
South Carolina ever had never open
ed volume of Blackstone, the name
of Senator Christensen, of Beaufort,
will almost certainly be presented.
This section of the state has not had
governor since Hayward and has
no apologies to make for Niels
Christensen, a sound business man.

Most farmers say they have the
best corn crop in years; hay crop is
good, potatoes good, peanuts appar-
emily good, there is plenty of meat,
outlook for grain promising, all crops
good but cotton. There have been
years, not so very long ago either,
when the cotton crop was bad and
most other crops bad. The people
are not near so bad off as they might
be. Added to this, there is every
indication of good crop next sea-
son; there is every indication Of good
prices for farm products next year.
Let's everybody smile and look on the
bright side. The country has not
gone to the bow vows yet.
