Plan Community Fair.

The men of our section also met
the same afternoon in the interest
of the community fair, which will be
held at Ehrhardt on Nov. 4. Miss
Warn gave a talk in the absence OF
Mr.. Brandon, our county agent, and
much interest was shown in the move
ment. One of our farmers stated that
he didn't think there would be much
cotton to exhibit, but thought they
could find a right good display of boil
weevils. This, no doubt, is true, still
we know we have other products
worth showing. We look upon the
fair as a great community builder,
and feel the need of it now as never
before, even if we don't look for any
thing except a "blue ribbon SO
many of our farmers and housewives
too are almost disheartened at the
present outlook, and need something
to couse the INTO look forward. Be-
sides our boys and girls are the men
and women of a great tomorrow and
this will show them the possibilities
of our community. Anyway we are
going to try to be at Ehrhardt on
the 4th, and prove that we are "still
achieving, still pursuing" even if
we have learned to labor and to
watt

A BIighted Romance.

A story has come to us. which
proves that we haye some wide-awake
farmers in our section yet. One of
our farmers who is also merchant
and interested to some extent in the
live stock industry, has made so much
corn that his barns are not sufficient
for the harvest. So he builds larger
barns, but keeps on the lookout for
some way to dispose of it. Finally,
while looking over an advertising
journal, he notices where lady in a
distant town wishes to exchange a
very fine COW for corn, and he is in
terested right away in this PROPOSE
ton. (Be it said here that our far
mer and merchant is also widoWer,
and we are sorry we neglected to
mention this in the beginning.) He
writes the lady Immediately, and sew
eral letters follow in which she cites
the merits of Lady Pat tracing her
ancestry several generations back.
Our farmer is more Interested in the
pedigreed cattle industry than ever
before, for he must believe that this
COW is a veritable "blue stocking" He
decides to visit this distant town to
see this wonderful animal In the
meantime a letter comes from the
lady in question in which she casual
ly mentions her husband, and,
strange to say, Mr.. Prospective Buy
er or fswapper" loses interest in the
proposition fight away. So this in
dustry is a dead one on our neighbor's
farm, for the present. 1t seems that
men are so prone to change their
minds nowadays. Guess the "boll
weevir' is the cause.

Back and Forth.

The proprietors Of two livery sta

a busy street have been having live
ly advertising duel lately. The other
day one Of them stuck up on his office
window long strip of paper bearing
the words:
':Our horses need no whip to make
them CO."
This bit of sarcasm naturally caus-
ed some amusement at the expense
of the rival proprietor, but in less
than an hour he neatly turned the
tables by posting the following on
his own window:

We recently noticed an interesting
discussion in an exchange concerning
what is mostly read in a newspaper.
The editor frequently wonders just
kind of reading matter the public
likes most. People of different tastes
offer different ideas. Some folks tell
us they like one thing about The
Herald, and others say something diff
serent. Speaking for this newspaper,
we can say that it is our endeavor to
print matter of interest to all our
readers. Contrary to the idea some
people hold, type is not just set up
at random to fill the paper. The mat
ter is carefully selected, with the idea
of affording to all our readers some
thing for their special taste. There
is large number of readers who look
to their county paper for condens-
ed picture Of. the weeks important
news, and for their benefit The Her
aid prints each week the most impor-
tant of the state news, with just a
few of the general items most prom
inent in the weeks happenings. For
everybody, The Herald endeavors to
print all the county news, but it con-
fesses that this is not possibility.
For the farmer, there is usually
few good articles each week on farm
matters, written by people who ought
to know what they write, and then
we always have a good selection OF
miscellaneous reading matter for the
entire family, suoh matter as is not
found in the average newspaper. Thus
the paper is filed up, and there is al
ways far more good matter than we
can possibly print. The Herald does
not overlook the humorous side OF
life. We believe, some times, that
the jokes appearing in The Herald
are about the most popular thing
about the paper. Our friends can al
ways help US by sending in or telling
us about happenings in their COM
munities. Remember that the editor
never knows the news until somebody
tells him. Very few of the happen
ings of the county actually come un-
der the observation of the editor or
other members of the papers force.

Still Burning.

He was unfamiliar with the domes-
tic contrivances of town life.
To his mates on Monday morning
he confded that his Sunday dinner
had been only half cooked because mis-
wife could not get the oven hot
enough. They told him about the ad-
vantages of a gas stove, and he had
one installed Immediately.
On Saturday night, over friendly
glass he became enthusiastic about
the gas stove.

Ehrhardt, Oct. 12.-One afternoon

That is an important meeting t.

That is an important meeting to
be held in Ehrhardt on the 18th inst.
The matter of disposing of the va
rious crops that must be planted to
supplant cotton is great question.
While our county can grow PRACTICAL
ly any crop, food or otherwise, the
trouble is these crops can not be sold
to advantage under the present sys-
tenn. For instance, take the potato
crop. The farmer can bring a few
wagon loads to town and perhaps sell
them for profta bic price, but it does
not take many loads to supply all the
towns in the county. What must be
done with the balance? A shipment
cannot be made with any expectation
of profit unless it is made in car lots,
and perhaps few planters will have
a carload. And then, again, where
ship the potatoes, even if the planter
has a carload of them? He does not
know the market conditions, he has
no way of ascertaining what market
is glutted, and therefore potatoes are
not salable there, and he does not
know what market needs potatoes,
where a good price can be had. A
marketing association, receiving
daily or weekly market reports from
all over the country, is in position to
know the value Of potatoes, and
where they can be sold. The same
thing can be said of peanuts, Irish
potatoes, syrup, and hundred and
one other products that can be made
in Bamberg county.

London. July 23.-The outstanding

it was stated on high authority. The
position of Ulster is amply secured.
Confidence Grows
Dublin, July 23 (By the Associated

that the Irish peace offer made by
Premier Lloyd George to EamIonn De.
Valera. the Republican leader, will
work out in settlement.
The terms of the offer are still be-

Smuts gives Hope

African premier, is expected to leave
London for Ireland next week to place
his services at the disposal of Eamonn
DeValera and Sir James Craig, Ulster
premier, during their critical Discus
sion of the Irish peace proposals by
Premier Lloyd George.
Reports are that the British prime
minister's offer submitted to Mr..
DeValera Thursday includes plan for
dominion home rule for Ireland on
the lines of the South African con-

this form of government General
SHUTS, it is pointed out will be
able to get information of the greatest
value.
Perhaps even more important in the
view of many observers Is General
SHUTS reputed influence as a mediat-
or due to his former position as one
of the anti-English leaders in the
South African war. This, observers
say, has established common bond
between the General and the Irish Re-
publicans.
