Wind and Lightning
do Damage at Olar

Considerable damage resulted
from the severe wind and electric
storm at Olar last Sunday night. 1t
appears that throughout that section
the wind blew heavy gale, tearing
up trees and unroofng small houses,
while lightning struck the residence
of C. o. Barker in the town of Olar,
three different times.
Mr.. Barker and members of his
household were stunned by the shock,
but none was injured. Mr.. Barker
states that he saw distinctly the light
ming strike his home twice, while
residents nearby state that they not
ed three different strokes within a
few minutes. The house was set on
fire each time, but the heavy rain
falling at the time quickly extinguish-
ed it each time without much dam
age.
The house was seriously damaged
by being splintered, however, and
much of the household goods were
torn up. The supper dishes had not
been cleared away, and the force of
the strokes broke a burning lamp
and also broke nearly every dish on
the table. Every glass window pane
in the house was broken, and some
of the doors, besides ceiling and
weather boarding being splintered.
In one yard in Olar it is said
that sixteen trees were blown down
or uprooted, while numbers of large
shade trees in the streets were blown
down or large limbs torn from them.
The storm was accompanied by a
heavy downpour of rain, although it
is said that the heaviest part of the
rain passed below Olar. Aside of the
corn being blown down, very little
damage is reported to crops.

Big Free Barbecue.
at Olar on Friday

The good people of Olar, Kearse
and Govan Democratic voting pre-
cincts expect to make of the county
campaign meeting at Olar Friday a
memorable occasion. The three clubs
have come together and planned a
big free barbecue, which will be serv-
ed at Olar during the day of the
speaking.
The three clubs invite everybody
to be present and hear the candidates
and then partake of their hospitality,
which will be free.
Now, The Herald is reliably in
formed that the boil weevil has not
seen fit to get among the porkers and
therefore there is plenty to eat. In
fact, anybody who has ever in the
past partaken of the kind hospitality
of these generous people know boil
weevils are never mentioned nor
thought of at meal time. These peo-
pie are not built that way. There
fore, one may we'll expect big time,
and he or she (both must be includ-
ed now in speaking politically will
not be disappointed.
Those in charge of the arrange
ments urge that the people turn out
and make big day of it.

house. The poll will be open from {
a. m. to p. m. The managers OF

and w. L. Fogle. This school is IN
school district No. 46.
Several months ago similar elec-
tion was carried by big majority
Opposition developed and the election
was declared void on several grounds.
One of the grounds was that the legal
percentage of electors was not OBJ
tanned on the petitions calling for the
election. This was caused, it was
said, by the registration of women
after the petitions had been signed
up.

Copeland Complains of
Freight Rate on Melons

Washington, July 27.-From S. w.
Copeland, of Ehrhardt, S. c., Sena-
tor E. D. Smith has received letter
in which vouchers were enclosed
showing that Copeland "had paid
s63 for the privilege of giving New
York three carloads of watermelons. -
The writer said the condition of
which he complained is general this
season in both Carolina and Georgia,
and he appealed to the senator to do
something to remedy it if possible.
The vouchers showed that the
three carloads of melons were sold in
New York for a total Of $685., while
the freight paid to the railroad for
carrying them was s41S and the COM
mission to the seller was $40.
'The railroad got theirs" said the
shipper in his letter, ''the commis-
sion merchant got his; and me and
my hands sweated over these MELONS
for months, and was then called on to
pay s63 in addition to losing the fer
tilizer, seed and all the work done"
Senator Smith read the letter to
the senate and expressed indignation
at the state of affairs which allows
such a condition to exist. He re-
marked that he and others in Wash
ington are having to pay as much as
20 cents at restaurants for an eighth
of a watermelon.
The key of the difficulty as to rail-
road rates the South Carolina senator
found in that phase Of the Esch-Cum-
Minis Act, which bases rates on the
theory of 6 per cent. profit to the
roads of the country.
Senator Watson, of Georgia, inter-
rupted to call attention to the fact
that the southeastern states have no
representative on the interstate
commerce commission. Senator
Smith deplored, this, but held that
whatever the makeup of the commits
sion might be, it's functions of rate
regulation would be controlled by
the Esch-Cummins law.

Big Family Reunion
on August Tenth

The biggest family reunion ever
planned in Bamberg county is sched-
uled to be held at old Mizpah church,
near Buford's Bridge, on Thursday,
August 10th. The occasion will be
the reunion of the families of the
Brabhams, Kearses, kirklands, and
McMillans. Otis Brabham, of Allen
dale, is the prime mover in getting
up the reunion, and the arrangements
are about all set for the big occasion.
A reunion of these families means
that there will be hundreds Of per-
sons present, as these families have
inter-married for years, and are al
most like one big family. All of
these families are cordially invited to
be present, as well as all relations,
and all who have married into them.
The only expense attached to the
reunion will be the bringing of we'll
filled baskets. There will be several
addresses by we'll known speakers,
including histories of the different
families. Every one is asked to
bring along any old family relics and
photos, etc., that they may possess.
The occasion is sure to be pleas
ant and profitabl one for all, and it
is hoped that it will be a big event,
and it is also hoped that the reunion
will become an annual affair hence
forth.

Valuable Travelling Aid.

If you do not own a wardrobe
trunk and are taking a trip, secure
about six good-sized shirt boxes. IN
each put different articles, thin dress
es in one, mems shirts in another,
baby dresses in another, etc. When
you reach your destination, not only
will the clothes be easy to find, as
each box can be marked but they will
not be mussed up, as is common after
a long trip.

DuPree Prefers Electric Chair.

to read the following lines in rela-
tion to a young South Carolina boy,
who, drifting from the marrow way
faces the penalty.
It would seem that there was origi-
nally the making of man in Du-
Pre-. (Ed.)
Atlanta, July 15.-Frank DuPre
had rather come to his death from
the high voltage current of an elec-
trio chair than have his neck broken
on the gallows.
The "grey overcoat bandit made
known his preference Thursday af-
ternoon to this writer. He expressed
his choice between the two in the
calm manner of a man choosing BE-
tween two cravats in haberdashery
There now pends in the state legis-
lature a measure introduced by Rep
resentative Perkins, of Muscogee
county, which would replace the
present gallows in each county with
a modern electric chair at the state
farm. 1t has passed the. house, and
now awaits action by the senate.
Doubtful However.
It is doubtful if the bill is passed
and placed into effect in time for
DuPre to meet his death in the way
of his choice, in the event he fails to
get new trial.
DuPre gave no indication Of emo
ton when told Thursday that the
highest court in the commonwealth
had ruled against him. He indicated
he held but little hope for a new
trial. He is resigned to death, he
said, and does not fear to meet his
God. 1t is his desire that his plight
prove lesson to other youths.
Next month, on the 18th, l will
be 19 years DID," he said, "and
would consider that my life had been
worth at least something if it were
possible for me to talk to every
young man or boy in Atlanta-or in
the world for that matter, for l real
y believe 1 could give everyone OF
them some valuable adTice-advice
which 1 am probably in better posi-
tion to give than anyone else, just
for the simple reason that now see
clearly the fatal mistake 1 have
made.
There is a successful and won
derful future for any boy who is CIV
en- the right kind Of advice in his
early years. However, the boy him
self must at the same time try to
help himself by living good, clean
life and needing the advice of his
parents and other people.
"My advice to boys is to attend
church and Sunday school regularly
and disregard pool rooms, street
corners and cheap hotels. Don't walk
a block out of the way to avoid meet
ing a teacher of Christ. Come face
to face with him or her, grab their
hands and ask their advice and pray
ers. 1 pray nightly and read my
testament" ."-Greenville News.

Cowbells Tied to Judge and Sheriff.

Nashville, Tenn, July 29.-Fhe
sheriff and county judge of Clair
borne county, Tennessee, together
with sheriff's party of twenty-five
men, were seized by crowd of ap-
proximately 200 coal mine strike
sympathizers from Kentucky Thurs
day night and placed on a train bound
for Knoxville, according to informa-
tion received here today. Before the
men were placed on the train, ow-
bells were tied to the sheriff and
county judge, it was said. The en-
tire citizenship is reported to be ter
rorized.
The sheriff of Clairborne county,
which LIS on the Kentucky border
near where outbreaks occurred in
the Middlesboro, KY, section, had re-
quested yesterday that Tennessee
guardsmen be sent, saying miners or
sympathizers had come across the
border and had been shooting at
stores and making threats in Claif
borne county. Governor Taylor to-
day called on Attorney General Palm
er for an opinion as to the executive
authority to order out troops, which
officials say could only be done
through authorization of the Legis-
lature. The governor, it was said,
might send state police or ask Presi-
dent Harding to order federal or
Tennessee troops into the county.

| "Pete" Little held Delph0s to mint
scattered blows yesterday at the bal
park, the locals winning o to 4. Il
was "Pete's" first full game on the
local diamond and he had the edge
on the visitors all the way. Skin
ner started on the mound for the In
invaders but after three ineffective
innings in which he was nicked for
five hits and four tallies, he turned
the Job over to Keller who finished
the game.
Keller's batting was a feature OF
the game. He got two three-baggers
and single In four trips to the
plate, the triples being the longest
hits ever made on the local diamond.
L0rbeer, a new face In the Abilene
lineup, worked unusually well be-
hind the bat and, being an all-around
player, should greatly strengthen the
locals.
