The Herald wishes to call to the
attention of it's friends that it is al
ways glad to receive and publish news
items from any section of the county.
The only condition we attach to it
is that the items be sent in when they
are really news. We frequently re-
ceive write-ups of events that occur
red two or three weeks before. In
such cases we are usually compelled
to omit publication. News is news
only when it is published in the first
issue after the occurrence. 1t some
times happens that articles are crowd
ed out, but this is not frequent, and
at such times we usually publish the
following week. There is usually no
good reason why copy should not be
sent in promptly. Our friends will
greatly assist US in giving the county
the best paper in the state by CO.
operating in this respect.

How the Trouble Started.

Mrs. Clancy was returning from
shopping, and what with the crush
and the high prices she was in no
pleasant humor. AS she approached
the door she saw Mrs. Murphy, who
occupied the street floor, sitting at
her window.
II say, Mrs. Murphy" she called
out in deep scarcasm, "why don't ye
take your ugly mug oHt of the windy
an put your pet monkey in it's place?
That'd give the neighbors a change
they'd like"
Mrs. Murphy was ready for her.
"Well, now, Mrs. Clancy" she re-
torted, cit was only this mornin' that
1 did that very thing, an the police
man came along an whin he saw the
monkey he bowed an smiles an said,
why, Mrs. Clancy, whin did ye move

Dangerous Going.

A northern man was proceeding
through the Florida Everglades with
a guide. This worthy, as they fol-
lowed the narrow path, would tap
each hollow log with his foot.
"Why do you do that?' he was
asked.
Looking out for snakes" was the
calm response.
Snakes! What kind?"
"Moccasins."
"Heavens!" exclaimed the north
erner. Then, uneasily, he asked:
"Why do we walk on the logs or so
close to them, when they are full OF
snakes? Why don't we walk on there
where the ground is solid?'
"Well,' said the guide, as he KICK
ed another stump, "ye mought
sink below your waist off there-and
then again ye mought!"

SMALLEST IN 25 YEARS.
Cotton Production Placed at Little
More Than 100000.

Washington, July 1.-Cotton pro-
duction this year promises to be the
smallest crop of the last quarter of
century, today's forecast by the De-
partment of Agriculture placing it at
8,433,000 bales, or nearly FIVE million
bales smaller than last years crop
and nearly eight million bales below
the record crop of 1914. This years
acreage is 2S.4 per cent smaller than
last years.
The acreage this year is the small
est since 1900 and never before, &C
cording to the Department of Agricul-
ture, has there been 70 great a change
as there has been from last year to
this year.
The condition of the growing crop
has not in twenty years been so low
on June 25 as it was this year. All
sections of the cotton belt have been
affected. 1t is due, according to gov
ernment experts to an adversely late,
wet spring, and to the presence OF
boil weevil in large numbers.
Owing to the unfavorable condi-
tions of April and May and to other
disoouraging factors, shortage of fer
tilizer, and unsatisfactory price, aban-
donment of planted cotton acreage
has been greater than usual east of
the Mississippi river, ranging from
5 per cent in North Carolina and
Mississippi to as high as 10 per cent
in Georgia. West of the Mississippi
abandonment was taken into consid-
Grafton, the crop reporting board an
nounced, in it's preliminary estimate

Truthful.

In Boston they tell of a DR.. Reed
who, in his time, was one OF the
prominent physicians Of that city.
His large practice included many
patients outside the city limits and
these he visited in his buggy. :.
One day, it appeared, DR.. Reed
bought a new horse, with which ne
was greatly pleased until he discoV-
cred that the beast had an unsur-
mountables objection to bridges of all
kinds and could not be made to cross
one.
Now, inasmuch as at that period II
was necessary to cross certain Drlds-
es in order to reach any one of the
surrounding towns, the doctor de-
cided to sell the horse. He did not
think it at all necessary to mention
the animals popularity. but was
much too honest to misrepresent him
Accordingly, after due cogitation, he
inserted in local paper the follow
inc advertisement:

reason for selling is that the owner
is obliged to leave Boston,"

STOP THE CAUSE.

In the report Of the conference OF
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People in De-
troit, Mich, last week, this statement
appears:
James Weldon Johnson, of New
York, the organizations secretary,
said the association had made\lynch-
ing a national issue"
The assumption is made that this
organization is seekingly honestly to
promote the condition of colored peo-
pie: the efforts of the members may
be somewhat misguided and their
vision may be clouded, but doubtless
thev are we'll meaning. Lynching
originated because Of attacks by ne
groes on white women. The influence
of lynching has spread until it is re-
sorted to frequently because of other
crimes.
If the one crime, for which lynch
law was first resorted to, is elimlnat-
ed, the principal cause of lynchlng
will have passed away. There would
still, proba bly,, be cases of lynching
occasionally, but as time would pass
they would become fewer in number,
and finally disappear.
The condition of the colored race
could be advanced far more by max
ing a national issue of the original
cause of lynchings than by making
an issue of lynching itself. The
crime of attacking white women is
easier to eliminate by far than the
result that usually follows such an
attack. and the power of elimination
rests more upon the colored people
than anybody else.

Thinking people are coming to rea-
lie the vast resources of Bamberg
county. Those with a vision can,
without a great stretch of imagina-
ton, see in the future the greatest
agricultural section in the country.
At the present time, it is estimated,
we believe, that fully third Of the
county is in untillable condition be-
cause Of lack of drainage. 1t is pre-
dicted that not many years will pass
when all of this swamp land will be
reclaimed by drainage. A vast drain
age system throughout, the county
would not only mean added thous-
ands of acres of fine agricultural
lands to the farms of the county, but
would mean the elimination of the
mosquito with its deadly malaria at
the same time. Time was when folks
dared not mention malaria in the
same breath with this section Of the
state. The result has been the mys-
terious silence has caused an over
estimated idea of the prevalence OF
the disease, with the accompanying
dread Of even an extended visit here.
This is thing of the past; people
now realize it is no disgrace to be
infected with mosquitoes, but with
the means at hand and the knowledge
of elimination the people have, it is
getting to be reflection to have the
pests continue. All over the south the
work of mosquito elimination is 60
ing rapidly forward. We hope to see
the day when a countrywide campaign
will be inaugurated. 1t is predicted
that the reclaimed lands will more
than pay for the expenditure nec-
essary; and the increased health
conditions will be clear proit-the
best profit one could hope for. The
elimination movement is still in in
cubus form, and it will take years
for it to be grasped, but as the re-
suits are noted elsewhere the desire
will be heightened in all commun1-
ties to such an extent that public
opinion will soon favor the expendi-
ture of millions for this purpose.

MIR. Pell calls attention to the SER
vice that is being rendered by relig-
ious denominations for higher educa-
ton, but, to our mind, strikes the
keynote when he calls attention to
the need Of better public school facili-
ties. If illiteracy is to be eliminated
in South Carolina, the start must be
made in the common schools. The
Herald is not unmindful of the fact
that gigantic strides are now being
made toward the bringing Of the pub
lie schools to a higher standard, and
it is only for the purpose of keep
ing this latter in mind that we are
again calling attention to it.
We are inclined to believe that
higher education is being over-em-
phasized by the South Carolina leg
islature. The colleges surely should
be maintained, and literally main
tained, but the colleges can never
render the state the service they
should until the public schools are
more properly equipped and financed
to furnish the boys and girls of the
state with basic education.
There are now nine vacant scholar
ships in the county. There are many
deserving boys and girls in the coun-
ty who would be glad to use these
scholarships who will be unable to
do so because their home schools
have not equipped them with suffi-
cient educational foundation to sue
cessfully pass the examinations.
Every public school in South Caro-
lima should equip its students to
enter any standard college, and when
this end is attained, we shall have no
further fear of the service the COL
leges will render.
The writer once knew a country
school, ten or twelve miles from the
railroad, that sent out numbers OF
boys and girls directly to the various
colleges and universities. A profess
sor, whose name is known through
out the state, in one of the south s
greatest universities, went directly
to college from this little country
school. The influence Of that school,
a one-room, one-teacher country
school, can hardly be estimated, as
some of the states leading men and
women received their pre-college
training there, without ever attending
a high school or city school.
The purpose of Mr.. Pelps article
was to call attention to an educa-
tional conference at Converse college
auditorium July Is, to which every
person in South Carolina interested
in the great matter of eliminating
illiteracy is most cordially invited.

RICHARD FIGURES PROFITS.
Net Considerable Above Half Million.
To Use Arena Again.

Tex Rickard figured Sunday that
his net profit from the Dempsey-Car-
pentier fight yesterday would be in
the neighborhood of s55O,OO0.
Expert accountants were busy all
day balancing the books Used IN the
promotion of the contest. Rickard
said that expenses of all kinds would
approximate s950,0OO and taxes on
his share 100000, while the gross
gate receipts were expected to ex-
ceed s1,e0o,OO0.
1t was also figured out that Demp-
sey earned in the neigh5orhood Of
$4,000 a minute FOR his ten minutes
and 16 seconds of actual fighting.
Carpenters profits as the loser in the
contest were approximately s19,500
a minute.
The United States government will
receive in one form of taxation or
another a considerable part of the
100000 paid Dempsey and the
100000 which was Carpentier's S
share of the purse. The government
proceeds from the bout will total
more than 100000. The income tax
will take about s16O,000 Of the
100000 earned by dempsey and
about $4,000 Of Carpenters share.
The federal revenue from the sale of
tickets will amount to 100000.
State Gets Share.
Ticket sellers Tho resold the
pasteboards at an extra price are re-
quired to give 60 per cent. of the
profit to the government. The state
of New Jersey also collects 10 per
cent. of the gate receipts. Profits of
preliminary boxers and all ring Off
cials also will be taxed, adding to the
government proceeds of the bout.
Georges Carpenter must pay his
entire tax to the United State be-
fore sailing for France. Dempsey
may pay his tax in four installments
next year, the first being due in
March, 1922. Revenue officials have
pointed out that Carpenter also is
likely to face another stringent in
come tax on arrival in France, shrink
ing still more the earnings Of the
French boxer.
In many respects the contest, from
a news reporting standpoint, was
the greatest of it's kind in the world.
According to actual count there were
s23 reporters and telegraphers in to:
two press sections Of the arena.
More than 100 wires, including tele-
graph, cable and telephone, we're
used to carry the news to every
point of the world. While accurate
figures are unavailable it is estimat-
ed that the number of words filed
about the fight during the 16 hours
between s a. m. and midnight OF
.Julv 2 ran close to the million mark.
