BUILDINGS BURN AT COPE.
Store and Residence of Henry w.
Livingston Lost.

Cope, June 14.-This morning at
s:20 o'clock the cry of fire and the
firing of pistols and guns awakened
the citizens from their slumbers to
find a house, formerly built for a
store, and owned by Henry w. Liv-
ingston, in flames. This house was
on the same lot and, about 5 or 20
feet from Mr.. Livingston's dwelling
which soon caught, and both were
burned to the ground.
Mr.. Livingston saved all of his
household effects except a feather
bed, winter bedding and a few other
things that were in the clubhouse. He
carried about 500 insurance on the
two houses, which does not anything
like cover the loss. Mr.. Livingston
had planned to go fishing, and aWoke
about 3 O'Clock, when he discovered
the flames. The bucket brigade did
good work in preventing other houses
from being destroyed. 1t is supposed
that the fire was started by rats.

Discard the Coat.

An innovation that promises to
meet with popular favor among the
men was announced at the Baptist
church last Sunday, when the pastor
extended to the men cordial invita-
ton to leave their coats at home
when they come to church. While,
at first, it may require bit more
boldness than most men usually pos
sess, several have already signlhed
their intention of going to church
next Sunday without the usual swell
tering coat. About SO men out OF
every 100 go six days in the week
without a coat during the warm
weather, and all day Sunday, too, ex-
cepting the period they are at Wor-
shin. Consequently when the don their
"sunday-go-to-meeting' coats Sun
day morning to attend chruch serv-
ices they experience the height OF
discomfort There is really no reason
why men should wear coats TO
church on Sunday, unless as was stat
ed by one gentleman the other day.
the condition of their supply OF shirts
makes it inadvisable.

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.
Doctors Lodge, of Gaffney, and Lee
of Chester, Make Addresses.

Tuesday evening two of South Car
olina's leading educators and preach
ers addressed an audience at the
Baptist church. They were DR.. Lee
Davis Lodge, president of Limestone
college, Gaffney, and DR.. R. G. Lee,
pastor of the First Baptist church, of
Chester. They had been to Ehr-
hardt during the day in attendance
upon a Baptist rally, and were en-
gagged to stop over in Bamberg on
their way home.
DR.. Lee is we'll known in Bamberg,
having conducted a revival here last
fall. He is a most gifted speaker,
and delighted his audience. DR.. Lodge
is one of the most eloquent speakers
in the south, and his subject of Chris
tian education was one which he was
most capable of developing.

A Tough Proposition.

Getting out a newspaper is no pic
mic. If we print jokes, folks say we
are silly-if we don't, they say we
are too serious. If we publish orlgl-
nal matter they say We lack variety
If we publish things from other
papers, they say we are too lazy TO
write. If we don't go to church we
are heathens-if we go we are nvpo-
critics. If we stay in the once we
ought to be out rustling for news
if we rustic for news we are not at
tending to business in the office. II
we wear old clothes we are slovens-
if Wa wear new clothes they are not
maid for. What in thunderation is a
door editor to do anyhow? Like as
not some one will say we swiped this
from an exchange. And so we did,

Cotton Graders Assigned.

Division of the state into IL dis
tricts, with an expert cotton grader
for each district to handle the ware
houses of the districts and grade cot
ton in the counties of each, was an
nounced Monday by J. Clifton Rivers,
state warehouse commissioner.
The tablishment of these dis
tricts and placing the graders in the
field is due in large measure to the
revised state warehouse act passed
last session and the increased ap-
preparation for this work.
The local district is composed Of
the following counties: Barnwell,
Bamberg, Hampton, Colleton and
Jasper, with headquarters at Fairfax.
Harry Miller, of Jasper, has been
named as the official cotton grader.

Make Life "Clean and Joyous"

The fourteen points, of the Wo-
mans Auxiliary of the Episcopal
church in the United States, are being
printed everywhere. They are part
of an "appeal for nationwide re-
turn to sanity and right living in or
der that the lives of allthe people may
be clean and joyous" as well as "a
announcement of present conditions. "
These fourteen points" have, we be-
lieve, been given in these columns,
but they will bear repetition:
Silence vulgar conversations.
Don't swear.
Refrain from indecent dress.
Avoid improper drinking.
Quit gambling.
Cease painting your face.
Stop Joy riding.
Shun suggestive motion pictures.
Eliminate promisci9us dance halls.
Ban immoral plays.
Bar salacious Htrature.
Beware of the general Indifference
to reasonable safeguard of proper
conduct
Make life clean and joyous.
The Florida Times-Uni regards
these appeals as being made to the
elders more than to the young peo-
pie, saying: "There is nothing that
parents of today need to do so much
as to have regard for their personal
conduct, especially, as they are set
ting examples for their children.
What can be expected of children
whose parents disregard the niceties
of life?
"Generally speaking it is we'll for
all people to decide to make these
fourteen points, as put forth by the
woman's auxiliary, their individual
guide to conduct. Their observance
will not only help their own lives to
be "clean and joyous" but will have a
very decided influence for good on
the younger members of the family
and of society of today
The women's auxiliary has under
taken a splendid work, and its et-
fort is sure to result in good. There
is in the world today-in our world
too pronounced departure from the
simplicity and purity of language and
manners. It is, probably, more no
ticeable among the young people.
However, the young people will not
go far astray, and will not remain
long astray, if their elders proceed
along the lines of refinement and pu-
ritv in their conduct.-Augusta
Chronicle.

THE FIRST COTTON BLOSSOM.
G. W. Hunter Finds Bloom in Field
Tuesday of Last Week.

What appears to have been the first
cotton blossom in South Carolina was
discovered By G. W. Hunter of Hunt
er's Chapel, in his cotton field on
Tuesday Of last week. When he saw
the bloom, Mr.. Hunter did not attach
much importance to it, thinking that
the first honors had already been re-
ported, but. when he saw no mention
of a blossom in the last isue Of The
Herald, he went back to his field to
get the blossom. He was chagrinned,
however, to find that it had already
dropped off and had been blown
away. However, he brought in the
proof of the presence of the blossom
Saturday by presenting The Herald
with a small sized cotton boil He
also brought along another bloom.
The first bloom reported elsewhere
in the state came from Hartsville, ac-
cording to R. H. Sullivan, state mete-
OrOlOgiSt, and this blossom was pick
ed on Thursday, two days later than
Mr.. Hunter found the blossom in his
field. While other blossoms may have
been found somewhere in the state,,
they have not been reported in any
of the papers coming to The Herald's
exchange table, and Mr.. Hunter is
claiming the state honors this year.
Mr.. Hunter added that he had a
fine crop of weevils in his cotton
fields.
A blossom was brought to The Her
aid yesterday from the farm of J. A.
Wyman, and another was brought in
by E. D. Goodwin.

PRESBYTERIAN MEETING CLOSES
Several Conversions During Revival
the Past Week.

The revival meeting at the Presby-
terian church was closed on Friday
night by the pastor, Rev. Phillip A
Nickel, who conducted the meeting
beginning on the previous Sunday.
A number Of conversions resulted
from the influence of the meeting.
The last service of the meeting was
held Friday evening. The pastor Sc
lected for his text for the evening
John 3:16, one of the favorite pass
ages of the Holy Book. His discourse
was pronounced by all who heard
it as one of the strongest appeals for
the Christian life ever heard in Bam-
berg. In manner that revealed the
speakers innermost ambition and
thought, he appealed to the unbeliev
er to forsake their lives of sin and
take up their cross and follow Jesus.
The simplicity of the plan of saliva
tion was stressed, and at the conclu-
sion when the invitation was extend
ed three young people gave their
lives to Christ.
Regular services are held at the
Presbyterian church each Sunday,
alternating Sunday morning and Sum
day evening. Services are similarly
held by the pastor at the Denmark
church.

REPORT MOSQUITOES.
Presence in City of Pest Should be
Reported to j. c. Moye.

The Herald is requested by the
board Of health to state that the
presence of mosquitoes in the city Of
Bamberg should be reported to the
local health officer, J. C. Moye. Mr..
Moye is experimenting the Oiling OF
bitches, keeping the drains open, etc.,
and when reports are received of the
infestation of any section of the city,
Mr.. Moye will proceed at once to in
vestigate the cause of the presence
of the mosquito and take the neces-
sary steps to eliminate the malaria
pest.
The work of malaria control is be-
ing continued with funds raised by
special levy in the Bamberg malaria
control district, which was irrigated
last year by funds supplied by the
town and. the various health agencies
of the country. Some $500 was
spent for this purpose, and it is the
purpose of the speciad fund to con-
serve the results obtained by this
large expenditure.
1t is stated that with the splendid
system of drainage that has been
completed the presence of mosquitoes
in any section of the town is the re-
suit of local trouble, either with the
drainage system, or some standing
water about the premises. In either
case, Mr. Moye will see to it that
such undesira bic conditions are
remedied at once. AS matter Of
reports may also be made
to the city clerk.

26S Needless Dead!

One of the most cruel and heart1ess
facts of the world war, to our mind,
was the fact that after the Germans
had signed the terms of the armis-
tice and the putting into operation
of the armistice many brave soldiers
were needlessly and callously sacri-
feed by military ideas of glory and
determination.
This criticism is not directed
against British and French troops
alone, but the same. condemnlng
charge can be made against the Am
erican soldiers. If one will turn back
to the magazine of November and De-
cember, 1918, he can read how up to
the last minute Of II a. m. on the
18th day of November, 1918, Ameri-
can troops were engaged in attacking
an enemy which had already agreed
to terms which made his power i'm
potent. The New York Times Cur
rent History even records the fact
that the officers knew, but the men
didn't, until promptly at II o'clock,
Just as if stage directed, whistle
blew, and the soldiers were Informed
that the war was done.
Of course, it made a fine impress
sion of being everlastingly at the job
until it was done! Imagine Grant
and Lee fighting one more bloody
battle after the signature of Apo
mattox! But, even on Armistlce
Day, so celebrated in America, and
elsewhere, it is a matter Of record
that 26S American soldiers were kill
ed in battle, although for at least
twenty-four hours prior to that hour
the officers had known that the Ger
man military chieftains had accepted
the harsh terms of Marshal Foch.
Well. 26S needless dead is a small
item when we had over two million
over there? In a way yes, but what
if it had been your boy, or, more per
sonal yet. if it had been you who had
IN he the 26Sth man on that fatefu]
morning. You wouldn't be quite sc
firm in your ideas as to the glory in
volyed in fighting to the last second

ALLENDALE TO LET CONTRACT.
Will Build Highway from County Line
to Fairfax City Limits.

The state highway department is
advertising for bids from contractors
for the building of the link of the
Columbia-Savannah highway from the
Bamberg county line, in Allendale
county, to the town limits of Fairfax
The bids for this work will be opened
on Tuesday, June 2S, at which time
the contract will be awarded.
The link involves the building of
10.165 miles of road, beginning on
the Allendale side of the crossing at
Bufords bridge, and the road will be
sand-clay in structure. The work
also involves the erection of one re-
inforced concrete bridge of four 20
feet spans, and three reinforced con-
crete bridges of three 20-feet spans.
Separate bids are asked for the road
construction and the bridge work,
and $500 check must accompany
each bid, although one check will be
accepted from contractors making
bids on both propositions. Plans and
specifications may be had from the
state highway engineer.
The prospect for the awarding. of
the contract for the building of this
important link of roadway is mat
ter of keen interest in Bamberg coun-
ty. This link will connect with Bam-
berg's link through the county on the
one side and with the Orangeburg's
link on the other. The work on
Orangeburg's link is progressing sat-
isfactorily.
The contract for the building of
Orangeburg's link of the 'Edisto river
crossing has also been awarded, and
work will soon be started. Arrange
ments have been made for letting
Bamberg's portion of the swamp road,
and the matter is now in the hands
of the state highway commission. 1t
is expected that bids for this work
will be advertised for shortly.

PICTURE WEEVIL CONDITIONS.
Cinema Points Way to Making Cotton
in Spite of the Weevil.

On Wednesday afternoon of last
week, Mr.. Taylor, of Tallulah, La,
visited Bamberg and with the aid of
n, otiOn picture demonstrated to about
$50 farmers in this county the ap-
proved methods of growing cotton
under weevil conditions. The picture
was shown in Bamberg and Denmark,
accompanied by Mr.. Taylor's lecture
1t was demonstrated that cotton can
be grown in spite of the weevil and
the speaker said that the prospect of
successfully combating the weevil in
this section is very promising. Mr..
Taylor's talk and picture can be
summed up briefly as follows:
1t will pay to poison if the weevils
are really injuring your crop, and if
your land is sufficiently fertile to
yield one half bale per acre with
weevil injury eliminated.
If your farming organization is
such that you feel assured that the
poison applications will be made at
the right time and in the right man
ner.
If you are willing to spend the full
amount necessary to provide an ade-
quate supply of busting machinery
and poison.
The general gains from poisoning
is from 200 to 400 pounds of seed
cotton per acre and you should not
poison if the cost of calcium arsenate,
labor and depreciation on machinery
will total more than the current value
Sf 100 pounds of seed cotton. Hand
guns will depreciate 100% and larg-
er machines 25T Decide on the
busting machine that you should use
by the number of acres that you wish
to poison. For hand guns do not
allot more than acres, for one-mule
machine not over 60 acres and for a
cart machine 100 acres is the limit.
The one mule machine is most suit
able for the farmers in this county.
How to Poison.
Adopt a schedule and follow it out
closely, leaving a check plot to, COM
pare results.
Have the county agent sample the
poison for free analysis to make sure
that it will not injure the cotton.
Begin poisoning when the weevils
puncture Is per cent of all forms on
the plant. Use from five to seven
pounds of poison per acre for each
application. Poison at night when
the air is calm and the plants are
moist.
Stop poisoning when the number
of punctured forms drop below Is
per cent. of the total on the plants.
Keep the plants covered with poison,
which means an application every
four days and will take three appli-
cations usually. If it rains within "a
hours after application, make another
application.
Poisoning should be done right or
not at all. Farmers should secure
a copy of bulletin No. 162, "Some
Rules for Poisoning the Cotton Boil
Weevil," before attempting to poi
son. A copy can be secured at the
county agents. office.
The poisoning practuced in the
county last year did not show as
good results as it would have, as we
made practically a full crop in spite
of the weevils.
