The Washington Tribune takes
the ground that the race has
spent So, 100000 this summer on
annual meetings of various kinds
and that this annual meeting
business has become a menace to
the economic and social welfare
of the majority of these annual
meetings is election of officers.
Politics, graft, and chicanery are
rampant in many instances, and
the persons or groups of persons
who can assemble and juggle the
voters the slickest get the offices.
He asks what return is the race
getting from this annual drain
on it's purse that is in any way
commensurate with this enormous
outlay. Let us be practical. These
lodges will spend thousands OF
dollars in sending delegates, yet
often fail to pay poor member
So for a weeks illness. Take
the So, 900, 900 spent this summer
on these annual affairs, and how
far would that amount go il

building homes, or in operating
factories?" This editorial need
no comment. We regret tina
we are unable to reproduce it a
a whole, as we are aware of tn
grave tendencies of these meet
ings, and believe they should b
curbed.

WASHINGTON BIBLE TO BE USED
Committee of Masons From New York
to Furnish Historic Bible.

Washington, Feb. 23.-President-
elect Harding plans on taking the
oath of office March to press his lips
to the Bible that was used at the
first Inauguration of George Wash
ingon.
In accordance with Mr.. Harding's
wish, Elliott Woods, superintendent
Of the capitol, arranged today with
the St. Johns lodge, No. 1, A. F. NJ,
of New York city, for the use of the
Bible. 1t will be- brought to Wash
ington by committee of Masons. So
far as the records show, this will be
the fourth occasion on which there
has been a departure from the usual
custom of having the clerk of the
supreme court furnish the Bible used
in an inauguration.
The Bible is the personal property
of the lodge and has been carefully
preserved.

have been better off than if it had not
been extended. The outlook IS that
the state and county governments
will have to borrow money against
the payment of taxes during the last
days of the period. This will require
the payment of interest. This inter-
est must be paid by somebody, and
the government can look to nobody
for the payment but the taxpayers.
The taxpayers could borrow money
now and pay his taxes just as easy
as the state or county can borrow
money while waiting for the taxes to
be paid. The taxpayers pays the it,
terest either way, and the confusion
arising from lack of funds would he
avoided.

1t is not a popular thing to say, we
suppose, nevertheless, we are of the
decided opinion that it was not wise
thing to extend the time for payment
of taxes. If it could be productive of
any real good, it would have been the
right thing to do. How it is to ac-
complish any real benefit is difficult to
understand. Taxes form one depart
ment of human existence that is nee
essary. We fail utterly to see how
any one is going to be better able to
pay taxes in April than at present,
and no end of confusion is going to
result. If the time for paying taxes
had expired January 1st, the taxpay-
ers of the entire state would have
been decidedly better off than they
are now. In our opinion when the
time finally expires it will be general
ly- conceded that the people would

DEFLATION CRISIS OVER.
Fairfax Harrison Sees Better Times
We Hope He Is Right.

Chester, Feb. 24.-FairfaX Harri
son, president of the Southern rail
way, was a guest of the Chester cham
ber of commerce today.
At a luncheon given in his honor
Mr.. Harrison said the crisis in the
present period of financial depression
was reached the last week in Jan
uary. Since this time there has been
a decided change in the IL states ira
versed by the Southern railway. lie
states that conditions are gradually
getting better and that things will
be normal again by autumn. What
he had to say was based on informa-
ton that comes to him from official
sources in both railroad and financial
circles. He is optimistic over the
future and while he does not predict
any such prosperity as the country
enjoyed in October, 1919, and April,
1920, he sees better days for all in
dustry not far hence.
President Harrison came to CEes-
ter at the invitation of tho cham nber
Of commerce. lie was very much
pleased with the great number Of in
provements in Chester since his visit
here ten years ago and took a great
interest in the prospective develop
ment of the community as pointed
out TO him.

1t is an i'll wind that blows nobody
any good. This appears to us as be-
ing strikingly true in regard to our
friend the enemy, the cotton boil wee
vii. That the weevil has been the
cause of much benefit to the people
of Bamberg county can hardly be
doubted. 1t is generally conceded
that with the boil Weevil or without
the Weevil, cotton farmers would not
have made any money in this county
the past year. The fact that the wee
vii was here the previous year, with
all indications pointing to much more
intense infestation the past year,
caused most farmers to plant more
lberaIly of food crops than perhaps
they had ever planted before in the
history of the county. The result
was that enormous crops of corn, po-
tatoes, oats, peanuts, etc., were har-
vested. Literally speaking, the barns
of the county are bulging with these
crops. That money is an article that
is stranger to most folks is also
conceded fact, but the people could
not possibly be in better circumstance
es to be without money than they are
this season. The boil weevil has
taught the people of the weevil belt
a lesson that bids fair to be the best
asset of the entire belt, that Of being
prepared for such contingencies as
boil weevil, adverse cotton conditions,
and so on. The Herald makes it a
point to inquire of farmers visiting
the office their general condition in
regards to farming, and practically
every reply we have had was to the
effect that their money is tied up in
cotton, and, therefore, they have very
little-and not much immediate pros
pect, seemingly-but that otherwise
they are in better condition than ever
before. There can be no poverty
with barns full to overfowing. For
this condition, it appears to us that
we can give a large measure of thanks
to the boil weevil. We all hope that

Thursday, March 3, 1921.

If the police force of Bambeis is
unable to cope with the local
situation on Saturday night or any
other time, then we say that force
should be employed who can cope
with it. Such escapades as was Wit
messed here Saturday night is dis
grace to any civilized community. To
say that a few persons tanked up on
rotten liquor can take charge Of a
town is serious reflection on the town,
and this appears to be exactly what
occurred. Indiscriminate shooting
and cursing filled the air of Main
street, making it unsafe for anyone
be on the street. There were ladies
who had occasion to pass through
Main street, and could not do so
until an escort had been secured to
make it safe for them. This thing
has happened several times in Bam-
berg during recent months. 1t is
high time that someone was put in
charge of Main street at night with
full power and authority to maintain
order that the towns decency re-
quires, and who has the fearlessness
to enforce it. Beginning with prob
ably no more motive than a harmless
escapade, the local condition has been
going from bad to worse, and serious
consequences are going to result un
less a determined effort is made to
restore the town to peaceable basis.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1921-03-03

the boil weevil will disappear, but we
all likewise hope that the barns of
Bamberg county will never again be
lean with something to eat.

by the Illness of sister. Miss Binney
win not return to resume her school
duties here until after the Thanksgiv-

vember 30.
The Senior class has already order
ed the class rings and pins which are
expected to arrive here at an early
date. Definite plans are also under
way for the publication of the class
annual. The Seniors of 1922 are in
deed an enthusiastic class and will
undoubtedly prove themselves worthy
of our recognition.
A game supper will be given at the
Methodist church parlors November
49,, by the high school students. This
venture will be undertaken for the
purpose of securing funds for the Ath-
letic Association. The game will be
procured by the high school boys and
the bounteous supper will be served in
cafeteria style. The eats will be good,
to say the least, and don't worry
about the quantity. Get a little of the
true spirit which the students are ex-
hibiting and come to the Methodist

when it became known or Monday that
Mrs. Mary F. Nuzum, wife of Father

all the history of Viroqua city, is be-
ing held at the Methodist church this

We Specialize in Coal

From an experience Of over quar-
ter of century in handling coal we
have gained knowledge of this fuel
which is of great benefit to our GUS
toners. Som people think that "coal
is coal, but thinking doesn't make it
so. There is as much difference in
soft coal from different mines as there
is between rotten poplar wood and
sound hard maple wood. Our high
grade coal, Dixie Gem, is positively
the best soft coal mined-heavy, oily,
wonderful for sustained heat n d
keeping fire over long periods of time.
Our Black Beauty is a cheaper coal,
but the very best coal in its price class.
IL you want real fuel satisfaction,
these two will give it to you.
