seiged With Both Local and
Foreign JObbers as to Service.
PROJECT NOW UP TO
PENSACOLA MERCHANTS
Board of Directors of Chamber
Issue Statement in Regard to
Lines Operation.

The officers Of the Chamber of Com
MERGE have ben besieged by the Ship
pers and receives of freight seeking in
formation regarding the new Trans
marine Corporation coastwise service
to the North Atlantic.
In addition to local people, the rep
resentatives of New York firms, es-
pecfa1ly those who are dealing with
Pensacola jobbers, wholesalers and
brokers, have called at the Chamber of
Commerce offices and assurances have
been given that all orders taken in
Pensacola will be shipped via the
Transmarine lines.
The board Of directors desiring to
make it clear that the Chamber of
Commerce was merely the vehicle to
secure this line and is in nowise going
into the shipping business, authorized
the following statement:
Needs Loyal Support
1.-THE Chamber of Commerce through
it's industrial department has conclud-
ed negotiations, which assures to the
people of Pensacola regular monthly
coastwise service between Pensacola
and New York.
1.-The board of directors in meeting
assembled today, wish to impress up
ance of Loyalty supporting the new
service to be inaugurated by the
Transmarine Corporation.
The board of directors of the Cham
Der of Commerce considers that it has
done everything humanity possible to
secure this service, but that the Cham
Der of Commerce cannot as an organ
ization provide the cargo necessary Il
make the new coastwise service a SUI
cess.
Up To Individual Shippers
"The Chamber of Commerce has pro-
vided this much needed service, it is
clearly up to the individual shippers
to make the line a success. Every as
sistance will ] given to our shippers
and to the Transmarine Corporation in
bringing about this success, and it is
urged that all interested shippers and
receivers of freight communicate with
J. B. Morrow, Industrial commissioner,
in regard to the first regular sailing
from Newark, August Sth and the
berthing of the vessel at Pensacola,
August 18th.
s"The directors Of the Chamber of
Commerce wish it distinctly under
stood that the Chamber of Commerce
as an organization, or any of its paid
employees will handle the service OF
the new coastwise service, but are
acting temporarily until the officials
Of the Transmarine Corporation select
their own representative, which Will De
In a few days"
A telegram was received from Hous-

Papers Tell of Burning.

Tuesday the papers in the case of
the state of South Carolina against
the dead body of James Ferguson, a
white man employed at the logging
camp of the Edisto River Lumber
company in the Hunters Chapel vi
cinity, were recorded in the clerk
of courts office. 1t will be recalled
that Mr.. Ferguson met death when
the camp shack in the woods was
burned on the 25th day of June. Ac-
cording to the testimony of the in
quest, which was held by Magistrate
A. G. w. Hill, of Fish Pond, the fire
was seen in the shack by j. A. Cros-
by, some distance away, who heard
pistol shots. He went to the fire with
others and securing an axe knocked
the door down, but the fire was so
hot they could not go in the house
nor do anything about putting it out.
They went back afterward and found
the remains of Mr.. Ferguson who
was evidently asleep at the time and
could not get out when he awoke.

Magazine Pistol Causes
Death When Discharged

Baynard Baxter, prominent
young farmer and garage owner of
Lodge, accidentally shot himself Fri
day night when magazine pistol
which he was handling was discharg-
ed, sending a bullet into his body.
The wound proved fatal, Mr.. Baxter
dying late Friday night at a hospital
in Walterboro, where he had been
taken in an effort to save his life.
Mr.. Baxter had repaired an auto
mobile for Leroy Smith, who travels
for Howard Thomas company in this
territory, and had taken magazine
pistol out of the car and was expert
menting with it when the weapon
was accidentally discharged, the bull
let striking young Baxter in the stom-
ach and passing almost entirely
through his body.
Only a year ago he married Miss
Pearl Bennett, daughter OF, the late
A. Bennett, of Lodge, and had many
friends in Bamberg county who are
shocked at his tragic ending.
The funeral was held at Black
Vile Saturday afternoon, where his
relatives live. His wife and three
months old infant survive him, to-
gether with many other relatives.

Shortage of Coal is
Being Felt in Bamberz

When the coal strike started out
few persons thought it would ever
affect little town like Bamberg. In
fact the strike appeared to be some
thing vague and long way off. 1t
was, but the affect is being felt in
town. The power plant is running
out of coal, and has already put into
effect measures of economy to pre-
vent an entire shutdown. Starting
a day or two ago, the power plant is
being closed at midnight, and started
up again in the morning about 8
o'clock. This will affect quite a saw
ing in the coal bill, and at the same
time afford current facilities for the
industries of the town, and light as
long as most people really need it
anyway.
. L. P. Tobin, superintendent of the
power plant, says that he has ample
contracts for supplying the power
house with all necessary coal, and
that coal shipments are being made
as usual, but the cars are being con-
fiscated by the railroads, with the
consequence that the supply here is
almost exhausted. About two
weeks supply is on hand now, and
Mr.. Tobin does not know when he
will get any more, as it all depends
on the good will. of the railroads,
who seem to have the necessary pow
er and authority to take anything
they can get their hands on in the
coal line.

Missionary Meeting~

On Wednesday the regular busi-
ness meeting of the Baptist w. n. S.
was held at the church. Reports
were given from the leaders of every
department of the work, and they
were splendid in every instance.
Mrs. S. G.. Mayfield, the "Associa-
tional Supt." was with us on this
occasion, and favored us with an
earnest talk about the work. She
spoke of the number of fine leaders
in our "Bamberg w. NJ. S." and ask
ed that we share our talent with the
rural districts who are not so fortu-
nate. This being the day for ANNUAL
election of officers, the result was
as follows: President, Mrs. R. c.
Jones; vice president, Mrs. John
Cooner; treasurer, Mrs. Frank ;Jen-
nings; recording secretary, Mrs. c.
w. Rentz, Jr.; corresponding secre-
tary, Mrs. J. F. Lane; pianist, Mrs.
Paul Whitaker.
Our W. NJ. S. numbers eighty mem
Ders, and we are very proud of the
excellent work that has been &C
complished.-Cor. Secty.

Claims that Fatal Shot
Was Fired accidentally

MondayMagistrate ]. B. Gillian, OF
Denmark, held an inquest over the
dead body of Percy Adams, negro,
who was shot and killed Sunday by
Frank Johnson, another negro. The
jury decided that the killing was
'felonious and against the peace and
dignity of the state," and charged
johnson with the homicide. John
son was already in custody, being
charged with stealing chickens, for
which offence he was sent to- the
chain gang Tuesday. Thus, pending
his trial for the major offence, he is
helping to build roads for lesser
one-or greater one, as YOU view it..
A digest of the testimony of the
inquest seems to place the facts about
as follows, so far as known: John
son and Adams were playing on the
front porch, both having pistols in
their hands. Johnson ran into the
house and going into room with a
window opening on the porch, raised
the window. In doing so the pistol
hit against the window and was dis
charged. The bullet struck Adams
in the stomach, producing a wound
from which he died.
Johnson was permitted to make a
statement before the coroner's jury,
and in this statement he claimed that
the killing was accidental, and that
he and Adams were good friends.
However, the jury decided to hold
him and charged Johnson with felon-
iously killing his friend.
The killing occurred on the plan
tation of J. A. Hartzog, some dis
tance above Denmark.

Shower for Miss Folk.

On Thursday afternoon Miss Vir-
ginia Folk, a charming bride-elect,
was honoree at a miscellaneous show
er given by the Apollo Music club, at
the home of Mrs. F. NJ. Moye.
This attractive home was very
pretty in artistic decorations Of mid
summer flowers which blended into
a color scheme of yellow and white.
Receiving at the door with the hos
tess were Miss Folk and Mrs. c. E..
Black. The punch bowl was presid-
ed over by Misses Lalla Byrd and
Vista Brabham, who presented each
guest with miniature parasols as fa-
vors.
In series of musical contests, Mrs.
w. E. Stokes won the first prize, a
dainty box of powder, which she pre-
sented to the bride-elect. Each guest
was then asked to write a toast to
the bride-elect. These were read by
Miss Vista Brabham and were found
to be very witty and original.
Miss Folk was then asked by the
hostess to draw water for the thirsty
crowd. While Lohengrin's bridal
chorus was being sung in an adjoin-
ing room, the bride-elect was led to
the gift room, presided over by Mes
danes E. H. Henderson, H. n. Folk
and L. C. Smoak, where huge buckets
of lovely and useful gifts were drawn
from an improvised we'll.
The guests we're then invited into
the dining room where delightful re-
! freshments we're served by Mesdames
B. D. Carter, C. F. Gilchrist and B.
! T. Fielder.

Women Enroll on
Democratic Books

Tuesday was the final day for en-
rolling on the Democratic club rolls
to vote in the primaries. The mark
ed feature of the last few days of en-
rollment was the registration of hum
dreds of women to vote this year for
the first time in a Democratic pri-
mary. The Herald has not secured
information concerning the number
of women enrolling, but we are in
formed that there are nearly as many
women on the club rolls in Bamberg
as men, and that the same condition
exists at the Denmark club.
The enrolling of the women pre-
sents new proposition to the execu-
tive committee, whose duty it is to
make all necessary arrangements for
holding the elections. Under the
Australian ballot system, voting
booth must be provided for every
club voting so or more, and one
booth must be supplied for each 100
voters enrolled. This means that
nearly every club in the county will
vote the Australian ballot this year
Ballots must be numbered and per-
forated and are quite expensive, and
the booths two years ago cost Sc each.
All this on top of the fact that the
receipts from candidates this year
are quite meager, and it is entirely
up to the county committee to pay all
expenses. The state does not assist
the county committee in this respect,
although the state candidates are
voted for at the same time.
The country districts have not en-
rolled the women, however, in the
same proportion as the town clubs,
but the number of votes cast this
year will be far in excess of any form
er year.

Colored Baptists
Dedicate Church

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday were big days with the con-
gregation of Thankful Baptist church
(colored) of this city. The occa-
sion was the dedication Of the church
after extensive repairs and additions
have been completed. The laying of
the cornerstone of the improved
church was delayed until the work
was completed, and on Sunday after
noon the colored knights of Pythias
celebrated this ceremony with fit
ting exercises.
The congregation of Thankful
church has worked hard for the i'm
provements to the church and de-
serve great credit in putting over
these extensive improvements in such
time as the present. The church
is now well equipped for it's work,
and is enlarged sufficiently to carry
on it's work in a much better manner
than heretofore.
The dedication sermon was preach
ed Sunday night by Rev. o. B. Falls,
of the white Baptist church, his mes
sage being one of great force, and
the congregation evidenced consider
able appreciation of the sermon.
Wednesday night the sermon was
preached by Rev. A. M. Wright;
Thursday night Rev. R. A. Cotting-
ham, of NH. Carmel Methodist
church, preached, and Friday night
Rev. S. J. Rice preached. All Of
these sermons were good and greatly
appreciated by the colored folks,
hundreds of whom attended every
service. The pastor, Rev. o. J. Nc
Pherson, preached Sunday morning.
The pastor and congregation of
the church took advantage Of the oc-
casion of the dedication to raise some
much needed funds to complete pay
ing for the improvements, and quite
nice sum was collected for this
purpose. The white people of the
town joined with the congregation
of the church and helped to raise the
debt.
The service Sunday lasted all day,
dinner being served on the ground.
The service Sunday night was at
tended by quite number of the
white people of the town who have
been very much interested in the
work of this church.

Wanted: At Washington Today.

Leadership is our greatest pres
ent need, and it is there that the
party system has played us false. TO
manipulate machinery there arose a
great demand for expert mechanic
zians, and these have evolved in rich
profusion. But in crisis like the
present mechanicians will not serve
our purpose. The real need is a
man, who by the example of his own
courage, vigor, certainty and stead
fastness will draw out the highest
qualities of the people; whose reso-
lutte sense of duty will brush oppor-
tunity aside; whose sympathy and
truthfulness will stir the heart and
hold fast the conscience of the ma
ton. Leadership Of this sort we have
lacked.-From divers "Ordeal by
Battle"
Leadership of this sort we lack to-
day. The party in power has failed
as vet to raise up such leadership.
On that account and to that extent
it is guilty of betraying the people
who put it in power by an over
whelming majority two years ago.
The spirit of the people is sound and
true. It "can do much but it can
not do everything" One OF the
things it cannot do is to take the
place of a man-the man that is
wanted at Washington today.-Bos-
ton Transcript, July IA, 1922.
And this from Henry Cabot's own
home!

Tobacco Market
Opens sAboutA |

J. F. Lane and E. L. Price, Sr., left
Tuesday for Florence, where they go
into few days of "schooling' in the
cooperative marketing of tobacco.
Mr.. Lane is warehouse manager for
the Bamberg market, which will en-
brace all of the counties in the south
ern section of the state, with one or
two exceptions, and Mr.. Price is the
efficient bookkeeper of the local.
warehouse.
When the Tobacco Growers Cooper
ative association contracted with Mr..
Price, the association secured one of
the best bookkeepers in South Caro-
lima, man who is in every way quail
fed to fill the position. The local
market is indeed fortunate in secur-
ing Mr.. Prices services.
The exact date of opening could
not be given by Mr.. Lane before he
left. This matter was to be determ-
ined at Florence at the meeting of
warehousemen, who were to go over
the situation in detail and fix the
opening dates, but Mr.. Lane said
that it would be from the first to the
third of August.
Two association men, Mr.. Bates
and MIR. Adams, both from Brook
field, Va, arrived in the city Mon
day to assist in the local market. Mr..
Bates is we'll known in -Bamberg. He
was here last year as buyer for the
Imperial Tobacco company. He is an
experienced tobacco man, and compe-
tent in every respect. The grader
for the local market is expected in
few days. The grader will be entirely
disinterested, as this is the policy of
the association in handling tobacco.
Under the selling system of the as
sociation, all tobacco is properly
graded when it reaches the ware
house floor. 1t is also automatically
insured when it is placed in the ware
house. After grading warehouse
receipt, which is negotiable at any
bank, is issued, and the tobacco is
sold direct to the manufacturers. No
tobacco will be auctioned from the
floor as heretofore has been the case.
While the association is not hold
ing proposition, arrangements have
been made to redry, store and hold
tobacco when the prices are below
cost of production. In this event the
government has made loan to the
association of s30,000,00O for ad-
vances on stored tobacco, which in
sures to the members a reasonable
advance on their product in any
event.
It is not announced whether there
will be an independent warehouse in
Bamberg or not. The Denbow ware
house had been leased to Ernest
Lewis, local tobacco man, for this
season, and Mr.. Lewis had arranged
to operate this house Independently,
and to sell tobacco at auction. AS is
known, this warehouse was razed to
the ground last Saturday, and wheth-
er this will end auction sales here is
not known at this writing.
