Among factors cited as TO American
advantage in the situation, the Brit
ish business man states, were more
rapid reduction of values than In
England and cooperation Of labor in
reducing the costs Of production.
Mill workers In the United States,
he said, are accepting wage reductions
Of as much as SO 10 per cent In order
TO enable manufacturers to turn out
goods ut prices which the public
would pay.
lie said II this movement went
much further 1t would mean that the
| United States would soon be In q
strong position in the matter of eG
porting goods and would be able tC
secure business that would otherwise
come 10 Great Britain.
American hours Of work were about
the same as those in England, HI
stated, but the men worked much
harder while they were In the mills.

TO DISCUSS MARKETING.
Ehrhardt Farmers and Business Men
To Hold Meeting Oct. 19.

The Herald is requested to an
nounce that on October 18th there
will be a meeting in Ehrhardt Of all
farmers and other business men for
the purpose of discussing the organ
ization Of a marketing association at
that place.
The problem of marketing, it is
pointed out, is the one now Of utmost
importance to the planters, and, nat
urally, to all others. The presence OF
the boil weevil and the consequent
devastation of the cotton crop, ren-
dering, for the present at least,
cotton planting as a money crop an
impossibility, makes it OF absolute
importance that steps oe taken to
take care of other crops which the
planters can grow. 1t IS a well
esta blished fact that this section is
adapted to the growing of almost any
crop that can be grown anywhere,
but when the crop is made, it is well
nigh impossible to dispose o. it at
a profit.
1t has been found in other sections
that this condition can be remeiied
to a great extent by the farmers SELL
ing their products through q market
ing association, whose business it is
to keep abreast with the markets, the
demand, the supply, and the prices
that ought to be realized.
While the entire programme for
the meeting has not yet been worked
out, it is said that there will be sew
eral prominent speakers on hand to
explain the marketing matter, includ-
ing some marketing experts from
Clemson college. No farmer should
fail to attend this meeting, and every
one who has an interest in this ques-
ton should be present on this occa-
sion.

berg county.
The legislators present were asked
by the Clemson authorities to dele
gate one of their number to address
the student body of Clemson at Cha
pel exercises Wednesday morning,
and Tuesday night this honor was
conferred on Bamberg's Junior rep
resentative. Mr.. Kearse's address
was commented on most faVoraDly,
and he has received many congratula-
tions on the speech.

Junior Missionary Meeting.

A regular meeting of the Junior
Missionary society of the Methodist
church was held Monday afternoon,
Oct. 10. There were about twenty
members present. During the bust
ness meeting it was decided 20 send

sionaries in a foreign field. Our

fore we have decided to send box
consisting of old magazines, old post
cards with plain paper pastel over
the written side, paper dolls which
have not been cut out, story books,

DENMARK PEANUT PLANT.
Opened for Operation Saturday and
Gives Employment to 40.

The big peanut shelling plant of
Pond Brothers Peanut company at
Denmark commenced to operate Fri
day and the management states that
they have planned to operate their
plant at least eight months contin-
uously this year, and perhaps long
er period, if the condition of the crop
will warrant it, The building is four
stories in height, and has the latest
type of machinery. The plant is de-
signed to have a capacity of handling
60 tons of peanuts per day and suf-
fcient storage space has been pro-
vided to double this capacity if the
crop is big enough to warrant.
The plant will employ from 40 to
60 operatives and considering that
the cotton situation has caused con-
siderable gloom in lower South Car
olina, the peanut plant will take care
of the biggest crop in peanuts yet,
with a local market at the farmers
doors.
The owners of this industry have
several large plants in suffolk, Va,
and in Pennsylvania, but made a very
careful survey of this state and Geor-
gia, regarding the crop conditions,
and in relation to the industry found
after careful study that Denmark was
the logical peanut center and located
the plant there. In addition to hand
ling all the peanuts in this territory,
the plant will handle peanuts shipped
in from North Carolina and South
Carolina points.
The plant is equipped with electric
drive throughout, having total Of
100 horsepower, and novel feature
is an arrangement with the Edisto
Public Service company, the local
power concern in Denmark, to furnish
the entire power for the operation Of
the plant for the peanut hulls, as the
hulls will be used for fuel in operat-
ing the power company's steam plant.

CARLISLE WINS OPENER.
Orangeburg High Goes Down Before
Local Eleven Friday.

Carlisle school opened the foot bal
season Friday afternoon with game
with Orangeburg high whi2i result
ed in score of 4S to IN favor of
Carlisle. This was quite a surprise
because of the fact that Oranseburg
has a very fast team. The weights
of the>teams were very nearly equal,
Carlisle being a few pounds heavier
than Orangeburg.
The stars were White, Johnson.
Smith, Large and Cantey, for Car
Isle. The whole team played excel
lent ball the whole way through, and
the line did some work that Orange
burg won't be likely to make fun Of.
Before the game was over Coach
Gault had run the second line in who
seemed to do the work about as well
as the first. The first touchdown was
made in the first minute of the game
when Smith recovered an Orangeburg
tumble and ran 40 yards.

Backward.

Associate Justice Day, OF the Unit
ed States supreme court, is long on
law, but somewhat short in stature,
and the zeal with which he has pur-
sued the legal meaning to its lair IN
dusty books and tones has dried his
kindly face a bit. He has son, Ru-
fus Day, who is twice as big as ne IS
physically. The associate justice took
the son up to the supreme court and
introduced him to the other mem
bers of the tribunal. Chief Justice
White was about the last man they
ran into. The chief justice with an
exceedingly kindly twinkle in his
eve. locked up crora the small spare
form of the father to that big form
of the son. "Wa!l,' said he with a
smile, "I see your son is a block of

that has rested in it's bed of sand
through years filed with troublous
and peaceful times; perhaps since
the flood covered the face of the
earth and destroyed every living
thing.
The nature of the wood cannot be
determined from it's appearance, as
it is completely rotten, being nothing
more, when dried, than dust caked in
the form the pieces had when depos-
tied in the depths of the ocean. Be-
ing water-soaked, when first drawn
up the wood was perfectly formed,
and one piece has a knot on it. The
pieces had the appearance of being
portions of oak limbs. When the air
dried the pieces, they began to crum-
BILE away.
That the specimens of long ago
have been imbedded in the bowels OF
the earth for long period of years
is established by the fact that since
the upheaval that buried them rock
and slate have formed in the new
earth that now lies between the de-
posts and the surface and by the fur
ther fact that there is a strata of
shell rock of considerable thickness.
Long periods are required for such
formations to be perfected.

COPE DWELLING BURNS.
Home and Contents of Harry Steven.
SON Destroyed Friday Night.

Friday night at IL o'clock the res
idence of Harry Stevenson at Cope
was discovered on fire. So quick did
the fame do it's work that the crowd
which hastily gathered saw it was
useless to attempt to extinguish it.
The lack of wind is probably the cause
of no further damage by fire in the
town, as many buildings were near,
and the danger was heightened by
the dry condition.
Mr.. Stevenson carried $1,150 in
surance, it is said. He was away
from home at the time.
The dwelling was owned by Sam
Stevenson, of Orangeburg. The oriT. n
of the fire is not known The build,
ing and contents were complete
loss.

GINNINGS DROPPED TO THIRD.
Less Than 1000 Bales Ginned This
Season Compared With 1000.

The report of the census bureau
of the department of commerce, an
nounced the ginners' report for Sept.
25 this week. The report shows a
distressing condition in Bamberg
county and throughout the entire
southern section of the state. In
this county up to September 25 there
had been ginned 1858 bales Of cot
ton, compared with 6,993 to the same
date last year. Some other counties
show even a worse condition. The
figures for the state show: 1921,
1926, and 1920, 171,451. The in
crease is accounted for by the fact
that practically the entire crop has
been ginned in many sections, and
ginnings all over the state. are far
more advanced than last year.
Ginnings for this section are:
