$3.50, 900 Bond Sale BY Orangeburg'

Orangeburg, April 30.-City coun-
Gil Friday night sold s250,O0O worth
of bonds, the sale several weeks ago
having not been accepted due to an
alleged discrepancy in the bid. The
bid of the Trust Company in Georgia
was accepted, it being for s250,00O
at five per cent. The amount is prac-
ticany $4,000 more than the highest
bid the council received in March
when the bid of the Southern Bank
and Trust Company of this city was
the highest. 1t was announced today
by T. O. S. Dibble, city clerk, that ad-
vertisements for bids for the paving
of five and one-half miles of streets
covered by the above issue, would be
made at an early date, and that WORK
would proceed with dispatch as soon
as the contract was let. About $780,
900 will be spent in the next year or
so in building permanent streets in
the city, the city paying one-third
and the. adjoining property owners
paying each a third.

TELLS OF WATER SPOUTS.
One Who Has Made Number of Sea
Voyages Tells of Experiences.

The Associated Press report, pub
lished in the State on Sunday of
the narrow escape of the Cunard liner
Carmania, from WaterSpout, when
500 miles from New York, recalled
the pictures of dreaded waterspouts
in the physical geography books of
long ago.
A visitor to the State office yester-
day, who was known to have made
many sea voyages, was asked If he
had ever seen a waterspout. "Several
times" he answered, "and once three
at one time.
Asked if he had ever been in dan
ger from one of them, he replied:
"On1y once, you may remember the
West India hurricane of September
$40 in 1919, when the' City of Mexi-
co, Captain Miller in command, ran
into the vortex of that storm about
200 miles east of Habana. A water
spout formed several miles away
and, in the dead calm of the wind
but with the ocean heaving with
storm waves, it moved diagonally to-
wards US and crossed our bows so
near that spray from the spout fell
on the forward deck. The speed of
the spout was estimated at 80 miles
an hour. When the spout appeared
not a soul was on deck. l was on
the bridge with Captain Miller and
we took refuge in the pilot house.
The captain said that in As years
at sea that was the nearest call he
had ever had from one of those
blankety things. 1t is probable the
passengers on the Carmania who told
the story in New York: thought the
spout was nearer than it was. Had
there been danger of it's striking the
ship the commander would have Or
dered them all below. Should even a
small spout strike a ship, it would
carry off every movable thing, life
boats and all, on the decks. Just
how much of shock of this kind
big ocean liner will stand has not
been determined.
"But I saw spout once," continu-
ed the visitor, 'four miles from us,
whose waist or the. smallest point
between the surface of the sea and
the clouds, was estimated by the
captain of the ship I was on to be
800 feet in diameter. There were,
therefore, tens of thousands of tons
of water raised in the air and if the

QUEER ISLAND FOUND.
Pacific Island Contains Great Depos
its of Guano.

A description of what is believed to
be one of the most peculiar islands in
the world and one of the loneliest
spots in the Pacific, Walpole Island,
which has been submerged by the
ocean at least six times from all in
dications. was given at Sydney, Aus
tralia, recently by o. A. Mackay, F. R.
G. S. representative of the Austral-
ian Guano company on the island.
Walpole is about $50 miles east by
south of Noumea and contains great
deposits of guano. With Surprise Is
land and the Chesterfield group, it is
leased by the Australian concern. 1t
is limestone table, 230 feet from
the ocean accessible at only one spot
at a break in the cliffs where steps
have been cut.
Mackay said that there were re-
markably clear indications on the
cliffs of successive water levels and
that pumice, coral and other shells
on the curiously raised platform
showed that at least six times it must
have been at or under sea level. Many
traces of ancient human habltatlon
were found in the forms Of walls, OBJ
viously built by man, columns of coral
eight and nine feet high, large tomDs
and clam-shell bladed instruments,
several specimens of which Mackay
has presented to the Australian
museum. Fresh water supplies were
discovered in two caves. Mackay ex-
pressed the opinion that formerly
there was a much greater land sur
face than at present,
s'I found undoubted signs of pre-
historic habitation," he said. Il also
found in places, where the guano Co.
ments on to the carol, the remains OF
the horned turtle which I am inform
ed have been found nowhere else ex-
cept in South America and Lord Howe
Islands,"
Mackay said that probably the for
mer inha abitants had escaped in boats
when the ocean rose and submerged
the island or that they had been
drowned in the rising tide. The pres
ent population of the isle consists of
six white men, 80 Japanese and about
100 Loyalty islanders. The singing OF
these islanders serve to make life
less monotonous than it would be
otherwise. Mackay said, poultry and
goats are raised for food while vege-
tables and fruits grow luxuriantly,
tomatoes growing as large as Il
pounds in weight. Cricket and fish
ing are the main diversions Of the
residents. On Sundays the Loyalty
islanders hold two church services,
which the whole population attends,
he said. =

Finds Gold Ring in
Chicken Gizzard

G. w. Hunter, a prominent citl-
zen of Hunters Chapel section, was
in the city Monday to attend the
county convention of the Democratic
/ party, and while here showed The
Herald two gold rings that bear a
rather interesting history.
The smaller of the rings, along
with a blue setting, was found Sun
day in the gizzard of a chicken the
Hunter family enjoyed for Sunday
dinner. The setting was out of the
ring and bore evidence of the attempt
of the digestive organs of the fowl
to dissolve it.
The second ring, much larger
one, was found some months ago in
a COW Mr.. Hunter butchered. This
ring was in perfect condition. Both
the chicken and the COW were raised
on Mr.. Hunters place, and peculiar
fact in regard to both rings is that
none of Mr.. Hunters family has
ever possessed such rings as he re-
covered from the chicken and the
COW.
Mr.. Hunter is afraid people will
think he is conducting an advertis-
ing campaign for the products of his
farm, but he declares that such is
not the case. Of course, he is COM
PEELED to admit that buyers Of .his
farm products have an excellent
chance at getting valuable jewelry
for prizes, although he did not say
that he has any for sale just now.

l hereby announce my candidacy
for the office of County Commission
er for the lower district. I pledge
myself to abide by the rules and
support the nominees of the Demo-
cratic party. r. H. JOLLY.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1922-05-04

The internal affairs of the Demo
cratic party of South Carolina are
not a source of a great deal of wor-
ry, as was evidenced at the county
conventions Monday, but one Of the
questions which took hold of the
voters in several counties was that of
taxes. The Bamberg convention was
practically turned over to discussion
of high taxes and the remedy there
for. The general trend of argument
was that the state is run at too high
speed; there did not appear to be
much solution offered except gen
eraI lowering of all expenses. The
difficulty of attaining this much de-
sired end of getting taxes lowered
to pre-war basis was strikingV
shown at the convention when one of
the speakers called attention to the
fact that on nearly every item OF the
appropriation bill there are some who
insist that this and that item must
not be reduced. The argument is
generally made that, for instance,
schools must not suffer; that this ap-
preparation must not be reduced un-
der any circumstances. The same
argument is used on many other
items. The fact is that there can be
no material lowering of appropria-
tions unless there is drop in all
items. It is true that the schools
must not be allowed to suffer. The
teachers are not paid too much, we
think; in fact, they should be even
better paid, but it is quite impossible
to pay high salaries to any class
and keep the appropriations low. We
should like to see the time when
teachers and preachers, who are
probably in closer touch with more
people than anybody else, get salar-
les in keeping with their intellectual
training. But, so far as the public
school question is concerned, it can
not be done without liberal appro-
priation of money. A keynote was
struck in the convention when it was
suggested that the administration
costs are too heavy in all departments
of the state government. Bamberg' S
delegation vas right in voting to
abolish many of the commissions and
boards in Columbia. Many of them
are useless and provide nothing more
than jobs for those employed. Thous-
ands of dollars are employed annu-
ally to pay inspectors, yet things are
about the same as they have always
been. The highway commission
draws tremendous money to superin-
tend the building of roads that each
county is qualified to superintend it
self. The tax commission gets yet
other thousands to take money out
Of the left pocket instead of the right
where it used to come from. The
railroad commission is now COM
posed of seven useless members in
stead of three. The public welfare
board "saves" the state thousands Of
dollars by giving scholarships Bam-
berg county pays for to other coun-
ties, and so on down the line it goes.
First, fire out about nine-tenths of
the boards and commissions from
Columbia ;Sthen reduce all appropria-
tions where the overhead expense is
too heavy, and make the reductions
uniform except, perhaps, in extreme
ly few instances. Next, stop the lob
bying during the session of the legis-
lature.
