Negro Shoots His
Own Father in Ldw

Minson Moye is in the county jail
awaiting the outcome of wound al
legged to have been inflicted on his
father in law, George Van Dyke, Sun
day morning early. Both are ne
groes and both reside in Bamberg.
The alleged shooting took place at
the home of Van Dyke in this city.
Van Dyke is in a very serious con-
dition and may die. A .38 calibre
bullet entered his chest missing his
heart only an inch or two, and COM
pletely passed through his body max
ing an exit through the shoulder.
Not much is known about the af-
fair. 1t is understood that Van
Dyke says Moye has been accustom-
ed to coming to his home in drum
ken condition, and that when he
came in this condition Sunday morn
ing, Van Dyke proceeded to put him
out of the house, and was in the act
of closing the door on him, it is
said, when Moye pulled an angry
looking pistol and fired five shots at
Van Dyke, one Of the bullets going
home squarely in the chest. The pis-
tol was a six-shooter, and there was
one bullet left in the gun.
A remarkable feature of the af-
fair is that when Moye shot Van
Dyke, the latter Immediately got his
fighting blood up and made a. dash
for his adversary. He grappled with
Moye and took his pistol away from
his son in law and then proceeded
to give him the beating of his life.
The two battled for some minutes,
busting up things in general. Van
Dyke put up fight as if he had not
been shot. After the fray, he went
=. some white friends and got as
sig: ance in the way of medical aid.
He is now in a very dangerous con-
dition. Moye was arrested later in
the day and placed in Jail.

Citizens Discuss
the County Far

Friday evening at the call of citi-
zens interested in the holding of 9
county fair here some forty or fifty
citizens of Bamberg and other Sec
tions of the county met to discuss
ways and means of continuing the
good start made last year. The meet
ing was enthusiastically in favor of
the county fair, and a committee was
appointed to investigate the various
possible sites around town suitable
for this purpose. This committee is
to report at a countrywide meeting
to be held Friday, Sept. 1, at the
court house in Bamberg at 4:3O
o'clock. Posters advertising this
meeting have been sent to every
voting precinct in the county, and
it is confidently hoped that a large
crowd of citizens from every portion
of the county will be present at that
time.
Mayor Thomas was made chair
man of the meeting. and the purpose
Of the gathering was stated by him
briefly.
1t was moved and carried that the
county fair association be organized,
and that the above referred to COM
mittee be appointed to confer with
owners Of suitable property. This
committee consists of W. L. Riley,
w. A. Klauber, F. B. McCrackin, w.
D. Rhoad, C. w. Rentz, Sr. This
committee is now at work and is
preparing data on the necessary
buildings, together with an estimate
of the cost of the entire proposal.
It was decided to make the county
fair a stock company and issue stock
at ten dollars per share. Each citi-
zen will be expected to take as many
shares as possible, in order that the
necessary funds may be secured.
A committee of publicity was ap-
pointed consisting of c. W. Rentz,
Jr., R. NJ. Hit and H. N. Folk,
to properly advertise the meet
ing Friday. The meeting has
been widely advertised and it is now
up to the people Of the county as to
whether or not a fair will be held.
Those promoting the fair are empha-
sizing the fact that not a great deal
of money will be necessary and an
even distribution of the stock will
not work a hardship on anyone.
Owing to local existing conditions,
it will not be possible to hold fair
on the same basis of last year, when
it was financed by donations from
the people of Bamberg. 1t was then
possible to get free houses and fair
grounds, which cannot be had this
year.
There is no better county in the
state than Bamberg, and Bamberg
ought by all means to have a fair.
It will take little money to put the
fair across this year, but the amount
necessary is insignificant compared
with the needs of the fair and the
resources of the county.
Don't fail to attend the meeting
Friday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock.

Short Items From
Town and County

Lonnie Price, of Bamberg, son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. L. c. Price, has been
awarded a scholarship from Bamberg
to Clemson college.
The friends of J. w. Barr, who is
I'll in Leesville, will learn with regret
that his condition is still very Sc
rious. Last news was that there had
been no material change for the bet
ter.
About 10000 pounds of tobacco
had been deposited with the Farmers
Tobacco Warehouse up to last Satur-
day night. Farmers generally are
pleased with the cooperative method
of tobacco selling.
Cotton picking has started pretty
we'll all over the county. Some OF
the gins have been operating part
time, and for the next few weeks will
operate full time 1t is generally
thought that the crop is likely to
turn out better than was looked for
a few weeks ago.
D. A. Patterson writing from Nc
Beth, S. c., requests his paper be
changed from St. Stephens to that
postofice and along with the re-
quest came a much appreciated re-
mittance for renewal. Mr.. and Mrs.
Patterson have many friends in Bam-
berg, where they resided several
years.
The last vesper service of the sum-
mer was held Sunday afternoon,
Rev. S. o. Cantey, of the Methodist
church, preaching the sermon. A
rain just previous to the service kept
many away. These Sunday afternoon
services have been very enjoyable
during the past two months, and no
doubt will be resumed next summer.
Rev. Mr.. Dugan, of Charleston, a
ministerial student, will supply the
pulpits of the mill chapel in Bam-
berg and the Embree Methodist
church during the coming fall and
winter. This field has been served
heretofore by Rev. T. A. Inabinett,
who will attend Wofford college this
coming session. Rev. MI. Dugan
will attend Carlisle school.
Prof. L. E. Kirby, formerly prin-
cipal of the Ehrhardt school, will be
Superintendent of the Cordova high
school next session. His assistants
are Misses Pomelia |Smoak, Lille
May Martin and Ruby Bannister,
Mrs. Ethel HERS, and a music teach
er whose name has not been an
nounced. Prof. Kirby is an honor
graduate of Furman university, and
has many friends in this county.
The contractor erecting the new
H. ]. Brabham hall on Carlisle
school campus is making every pos
sible effort to complete the building
by the middle of this month. Work
has been progressing lately under
some handicap, but it is believed
that the hall will be in ample condi-
ton to be occupied at the opening of
school. This building is handsome
addition to the equipment and cam
pus of Carlisle and places this school
undoubtedly as one of the best eqip-
ped in the state.

Many Women Vote
In Primary Tuesday

or CQo urSI Cllu0 Ill luS ulSlOIy VI
the Democratic party in South Caro-
lima, the women participated in the
primary Tuesday. The experience to
the women was novel, and there was
some little delay occasioned by their
lack of being accustomed to the Aus
Italian ballot. There were 51S wo-
men enrolled on the various Demo-
cratic club books of Bamberg coun-
ty; the vote was, consequently, heav-
ier than ever before in the history of
the county.
Contrary to the belief of many,
the women readily took on to the
matter of voting. While natural
modesty and timidity prevented some
from enrolling at all, as a rule in the
towns the ladies rallied to the cause
of democracy handsomely. AS yet
only about third of the women of
the county are enrolled to vote, but
it is likely after this election year
that they will enroll as freely as the
men.
In Bamberg there were between
five and six hundred voters enrolled
men and women. Consequently the
matter of handling the voters requir-
ed more tact and harder work on the
part of the managers than is usually
the case. Five booths had been pre-
pared for the voters, and thus five
persons were allowed to vote at one
time. The rest had to take their
turns. The waiting line of Demo-
Gratis, interspersed by the presence
of the fair ones, was long at times.
1t formed in the early morning and
the line was unbroken until shortly
before the polls closed. However,
everybody secured the opportunity
of depositing his or her ballot, and
none were deprived of the right Of
Democratic franchise Tuesday.
There was no disorder at the polls
throughout the county so far as has
been reported. The presence of the
women voters had salutatary effect,
and much talk that is sometimes
heard around the polls was absent
Tuesday. In fact voting has become
pretty much as any other interesting
event, so far as Bamberg county is
concerned.
Keen interest was manifested in
the result of the primary, by both
men and women. A large crowd re-
NAMED on the streets of Bamberg
until a late hour Tuesday night.
Bulletins from the Columbia State
and the News and Courier were re-
ceived at intervals during the even
ing, telling of the count of votes for
state officers. This service is greatly
appreciated on the part of these
great newspapers. The Herald office
was a sort of center of attraction,
many voters calling during the even
ing to ascertain how the wind was
blowing. The Herald was very glad
to be of service to it's friends, and in
formation was dispensed as rapidly
as it was received.
The second primary election will
be held on Tuesday, September 18th.
The same managers will officiate, and
the same rules will apply. All of the
precincts of the county with the ex-
ception of four, employed the Aus
tralian ballot.

Bamberg Farmers
Not Only Losers

While in New York and other
northern points recently, w. D.
Rhoad, Of Bamberg, made some OBJ
servations Mr.. Rhoad found that
New York restaurants were charg-
ing 35 cents for two peaches served
with cream. This prompted him to
investigate the peach business a lit
tie. Looking over a copy of the
New York World, Mr.. Rhoad came
across the following astounding dis
patch from Columbus, N. j., which
is located in the midst of a great
peach and apple producing terri
tory:
columbus, n. j., Aug. 25.-
Peaches and apples for which con-
sumers in New York paid $3.50 to SO
basket a few days ago, have
brought Burlington county farmers
who grew them net return from
the commission men of as little as 1
cent a basket. Discouragement is
sweeping the fruit districts as scant
checks from wholesalers reach pro-
ducers.
"The commission men claim the
markets are glutted: Farmers as
sert that if any glut exists, it is be-
cause city dealers failed to reduce
prices to the consumers, with the re-
suit that there was not sufficient
demand for products at the height
of the season.
zone grower recently shipped g.
700 baskets of summer peaches of a
variety that usually bring high pric-
es. His net return was cents
basket. A Mount Holly orchardist
netted $3.50 from a total shipment
of $50 baskets of early peaches, and
nearby farmer got $50 for 800 bas-
kets of apples.
"Potatoes have been selling in the
great potato belt at as low as 81
barrel"
It will be seen from this dispatch
that Bamberg truck growers are not
alone in their predicament. Fine
New Jersey peaches and apples net
ted the growers one cent basket,
while the ordinary sale price in New
York amounted to $3.50 to $500 a
basket, and the consumers in restau-
rants and hotels paying war time
prices for a saucer of the fruit.
1t is to be borne in mind that this
point in New Jersey is located in 35
miles of New York. It can't be said
that transportation charges eat up
the profit there. The fruit is con-
veyed, largely, by truck to New York.
1t is a serious situation that is
confronting the producers of apples
and peaches, as well as to the pro-
ducers of southern truck crops and
there is no guessing where we are
going to get off at. The producer is
getting nothing for his product,
while the consumer is paying enor-
nous prices. Cantaloupes are serv-
ed in the New York restaurants, Mr..
Rhoad says, at not less than zoe for
a half portion, while the fancy res
taurants and hotels charge as high
as 65 cents for half cantaloupe.
One thing seems to be conclusive:
Somebody pays and pays dearly for
fruit and truck, and somebody gets
big price. It is not the consumer.
The middlemen gets big commits
sion and the consumers pay the rest.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
commission men claim-to their
clients-that the market is glutted,
the consumer continues to pay big
prices.
But the question is, what are we
going to do about it? Can we do
anything? Shall the producer con-
tinue to work free, while everybody
who touches the product after it
leaves the farm gets his?
