Are you violating the automobile

means that you are not only in all

Every headlighting device designed
to eliminate dangerous glare is con-

out Of focus protective devices are of
little value, their vital purpose being
destroyed.
Yet, adjustmentof lights to put them

ming purposes. While local conditions
are not entirely favorable, it is said,
to growing peaches in this county,
still we have seen some mighty fine
peaches grown here, which demon
strates the possibilities in this indus
try. 1t is probable that peaches can
not be profitably grown here for the
markets, still the county ought to
raise enough for home consumption,
at least. Every farm ought to have
some peach, apple, plum, cherry and
other fruit trees.

Now is the time for our people to
make the most of their opportunities.
The. year 1921 has only few more
days. Let everyone now take new
courage and new determination to
use the talents they have to the best
advantage, and make the year 1922
the, beginning of new era in the
county's annals. With the rich farm
lands, the variety of crops that may
be grown, there is no reason for our
people suffering hard times much
longer. The financial depression is
countrywide, but normal conditions
are fast returning. Ere another
twelve months is past, the country
generally will have recovered it's
equilibrium. Bamberg county must
not lag behind in recovering.

Bamberg county is to be congratu-
lated upon the organization of the
truck association here last week.
That the field of trucking offers at
tractive possibilities in this section
has already been proven. The abso-
lutte necessity for finding money
crops other than cotton has been the
means of promoting this organization.
While trucking is good money prop
osition, it also has it's drawbacks,
this being notably true in regard to
the marketing of the products. 1t
has been found advisab BILE in other
sections to market only through an
organization. Various truck crops
are generally worth profitable prices,
but the proposition is to market them
to the best advantage, and it has been
found that this can only be done
through a central Office. It is for this
purpose, mainly, that this organiZa
tion has been formed. The new as
sociation has the best wishes of the
people generally, and it is hoped that
a most proftab bic field Of operations
may thereby be opened. Likewise,
the tobacco association promises to
be of much value to the people. The
matter of cooperative selling of to-
bacco has gripped the people Of the
entire tobacco belt. Most other coun-
ties in this state have already been
allied with the tobacco association.
Millions of pounds Of tobacco have
already been signed up to be sold
only through the cooperative market
ing plan, which bids fair to upset en-
tirely the present most unsatisfactory
method of selling tobacco. That fair
prices are not secured for the weed
under the present plan has been dem
onstrated time and again. tits often
true that a basket of tobacco sold
one day is resold the next for several
cents pound more or less, which
clearly demonstrates that the method
is haphazard, to say the least Of it.
Under the cooperative marketing
plan, the planter will have voice
in setting the price for his product.
He now has absolutely none. He has
to take what is offered or haul his
product home, at his option.

The Herald would like to second
the appeal of Bro. Cantey, Of the
Methodist church, for every person in
Bamberg to attend church next Sun
day. Sunday is the first Sunday in
the new year, and the first day OF
1922. With a good many people go
ing to church is habit and mighty
good one, not only for processing
Christians but everybody else. 1t is
a notable fact that the vacation spirit
among the people extends to church
going as well as other activities. Last
Sunday, for instance, all the churches
had less attendance than un-
sual. The same thing is true
of the summer school vacation.
Let everybody make a special effort
to attend services with the beginning
of the new year, and make new
years resolution to attend divine
services every Sunday during the
coming year, unless providentially
hindered.

There are many valuable farm
products which have never had much
attention in Bamberg county because
it has been more profitable to grow
cotton. Inasmuch as this is no long

products may now have a chance
here. One of these farm products is
fruit. Very few farms are equipped
with peach and apple trees. It is
usually not possible to purchase
enough home grown peaches to make
preserves, pickles, etc., or. for can
