New MicIlelill
Tire Prices In
Effect, Report

The Michelin Tire company an
nounced reduced prices on certain
size tubes ON April IS, and thus
initiated the general price revis-
ions which have since been made
by other manufacturers. Michelin
has now further revised the entire
list in all sizes both castings and
tubes, the lower prices being ef-
fective May 8.
The new Michelin prices show
marked reductions, for example
the 30x3 " Soft Bead clincher fab
ric tire used largely on Fords and
other light cars, selling forinerly
at $40 has been repriced to $3.50
The Michelin cord tire in the same
size which sold at $4,000 now
sells at S24.50. Another popular
size is the 32x3 " used largely on
Dodge and other medium priced
cars. The former price on this tire
was $500 for the fabric and
$3.50 for the cord. The new prl-
ces are $4,000 and $34.OO respec-
lively.
Similar reductions have been
made all along the line, in both
casing and tube prices. The Mich
lin officials are of the opinion that
the buyers strike" or deadlock
which has existed for months am
ong motorists will end, now that
the leading tire companies have
followed thes tep taken by Niche
lin on April IS, and have revised
their lists, the reductions averag-
ing anywhere from 12h 10 20
per cent.

TO WITHDRAW TROOPS.
Half Of the Soldiers on the Rhine
are Coming Home.

The gradual withdrawal of Ameri-
can troops from Germany expected to
start within two weeks, will involve
reduction of the Aemrican forces
there to about one-half of the pres
ent strength of 1850 officers and
men. The reduction, will be accom-
plished by the middle of next March.
Details Of plans for the withdrawal
were made public after conference
between Secretaries Weeks and
Highes. The forces to be\withdrawn
consist of 126 officers and 1878 mef
OF the total of 4ss officers and 1880
men. Two army transports, the Can
tingny and the Cambria will be used
the first troops starting from Ger

Men whose enistments in the army
are nearing expiration will be first
returned.
The fftieth infantry has been plac-
ed on the inactive list and will be dis

cations expect the headquarters
troops and the headquarters staff of

to status sufficient only to impose

A banana peel carelessly thrown
on a sidewalk in Greenwood on which
pedestrian stepped, fell, and broke
his leg, resulted in lawsuit for S20,-
600, verdict for $1,000 against the
city of Greenwood, and costs of the
suit. Peels of any sort are dan
gerous menace on sidewalks. and
those who insist on eating fruit Ola
the streets ought to be considerate
enough of others to place the peels in
the garbage cans. Remember, the
next time you eat an apple or a ba-
mana, to put the peels carefully away
from the sidewalks. 1t may cost
some one an arm or leg, and it may
cost somebody some money, none of
which is necessary, as it costs very
little effort to put the peels where
they will not harm any one. We
have seen people put peels on the
sidwalk just to see the fun Of some
one slipping. Such acts are criminal.
We believe there is an ordinance in
Bamberg against this practice. If
not, there should be.

EX-SENATOR MAY SEE.
Thomas p. Gore, of Oklahoma, Has
Been Blind Thirty Years.

After more than thirty years in
perpetual darkness, ex-senator Thom-
as P. Gore, of Oklahoma, has been
given hope that his sight may be re-
stored, writes Norris Quinn, a Wash
ington correspondent.
If the treatment he is now under
going at the hands of Boston spec
ia!ist is successful, what will the
blind senator, lawyer, schoolmaster
and sociologist be most eager to see?
First of all, his wife. He courted
and wed her 21 years ago, but he
has never seen her. Then

ten year old son, whose growth from
infancy he has been able to follow

In short Gore wants to see the
hundreds of new things that have

years. He wants to see city for the
first time and contrast it with his
native farm village, the only com
munity he ever saw.

In another place in The Herald to-
day, we print the programme for
farming under boil weevil conditions
as outlined by the committee of farm
ers and business men headed by DR..
w. W. Long and former Governor R.
I. Manning. The programme was
drafted by a subcommittee, headed
by David R. Coker, Of Hartsville.
This is perhaps the first authentic
programme yet outlined by practical
and successful farmers, and we COM
mend it to the attention of every
farmer reader of this paper. We do
not pretend to say what farmers
should do under the conditions ex-
listing today. The boil weevil has al
ready, revolutionized farming in the
southern section of South CaroliKa;
old ways are no longer effective on
the farm. New ways have been sought
and found by some, but the greater
number of farmers are yet at sea in
regard to real farming. Hence, this
article is timely. It was prepared by
successful farmers, not merely fine
theorists, and for this reason ought
to be instructive. Read the article
carefully; clip it out and save it and
read it again and again during the
winter. AS to whether you act in ac-
eordance with the suggestions is
matter you must decide FOR yourself

see any of these things. He's not as
optimistic as his physician, DR.. Sam
uel Harris, of Boston. If sight comes,
it will be welcome. If it doesn't
we'll, Gore is so usel to darkness that
he doesn't miss the glowing world
around him.
Gore enjoyed natural eyesight un-
til he was eight. Then stick, thrown
at a COW by one of his farm lad
friends, struck him ir the left eye and
deprived him of it's use. Three years
later a shaft from a crossbow struck
him in the right eye. He had to have
the eye removed
For a time Gore was able to dis
tinguish the outlines of large objects.
Then that power left him and he was
able only to tell night from day. This
last remnant left him before he was
21.
Gore has served three terms in the
United States senate.
Now Gore is practicing law in
Washington, specializing in land and
tax matters. He comes to his office
punctually every morning. His sec
retary reads aloud to him from law
books. He prepares his cases by die
tatiOn.

programme. In reality they were at
