BIG HAIL AT EdRHARDT.
Heavy Downpour of Stones and Rain
Monday Afternoon.

Last Monday afternoon one Of the
heaviest downpours Of hail in years
visited a strip of territory extending
through the Ehrhardt and Hunters
Chapel sections. The hail accompan-
led a regular summer storm which
passed over that section of the coun-
ty late in the afternoon. Thunder
and lightning was also in consider
able evidence, though no damage
from the same has been reported.
A citizen of Bamberg returning
from Ehrhardt in the late afternoon
reported that the ground was cover
ed with hailstones in the town Of
Ehrhardt, and that in places the
stones were piled several inches deep.
He said that one enterprising citizen
of Ehrhardt gathered barrel full
of hailstones, in which he placed some
soft drinks, it requiring only few
minutes to fill the barrel.
1t is doubtful if the hailstorm did
any material damage, as there are
no crops in the fields other than grain
and the grain being small the damage
is probably negligible.

Raising Drain Under
Southern Railway

At last the Southern railway has
force of hands at work raising the
culvert under it's road bed in this
! city about two hundred and fifty yards
, east of the station just where Church
street ends at Railroad avenue. This
is being done at the instigation of the
anti-malaria campaign in order tc
properly drain the city by means OF
the ditch which runs under the rail
road at the point in question.
The work has been in progress
about a week now and will require
probably the balance of this week,
maybe longer. 1t was realized long
ago by Capt. L. NJ. Fisher, the engi-
neer in charge, and the other authori-
ties in the malarial work that this
work had to be done before the best
results could be obtained and the
proper drainage secured for the city
and the health of the community
benefited as it should be by the ma
laria control work. Accordingly, the
railroad officials were approached, the
situation explained to them, and they
at once of course promised to RENE
dy conditions by having the work
done.
But the Southern did nothing.
Capt. Fisher, as the associate sani-
tary engineer in charge Of malaria
control work in South Carolina, then
entered into the matter with the rail-
road commission, and time after time
made efforts, and strenuous ones, to
get the work done; the commission
ordered it done, and still the road
employed dilatory tactics; the city
officials then took it up further time
and again with the road and the
commission, and the city attorney
went so far as to threaten legal ac-
tion months ago, until it seemed that
no relief was in sight.
However, now that the job is well
under way, it is hoped that the drain
age will be perfect and good results
accomplished all along the line of ma
laria control work.

INSPECTION Officer at Carlisle.

2-CENT TAX ON GASOLINE.
Governor Cooper Signs Three New
Acts for Taxation.

Columbia, Feb. "a. . Governor
Cooper today signed the gasoline tax,
the inheritance tax and the corpora
ton license tax acts, and these laws
become effective in two cases at once,
i'm the other on May 1. The gaso-
line tax becomes effective March l.,
and after that date every purchaser
of gasoline in South Carolina will
/ pay an additional, two cents gal
lon to aid in financing the govern
ment of South Carolina.
The state tax commission is busi-
ly engaged at work preparing for col
lecting the new taxes provided by the
legislature. w. G.. Query, chairman
of the tax commission, states that
with new system of reports worked
out by his Office, the present working
force will need only small augmenta-
ton to handle the collection of the
new taxes. '..
The tax commission is sending out
this week the blanks on which gaso-
line dealers are to report their stocks
and sales. To start the tax in oper-
alton March, /, every retailer is to
report right away the amount of gas
oline on hand March l.. Wholesalers
are to report the amount received
each month, and the tax is to be paid
by the goth of each month. Though
the gasoline tax becomes effective on
March 1, the first revenue will be re-
ceived by the state April 20. The
dealers are to report to the tax COM
mission and the checks are to be sent
to the state treasurer.
The inheritance tax, signed by the
governor also, becomes effective at
once. Blanks and instructions are
being sent by the tax commission to
probate judges that reports might
be made on inheritances from now
on.
The corporation license tax, also
signed, becomes effective May /. This
new law imposes tax of one mill on
the capital stock of domestic corpo-
rations and one mill on the capital
invested in the state by foreign cor
porations, with a minimum tax of
five dollars regardless of the amount.
These are the first new revenue
producing measures enacted for a
quarter of a century, it is said, with
the exception of a state income tax
early in the century, which was poor
ly framed and which was repealed.

A Matter of Flavor.

It is more years than one would
care to admit since Franklin P
Adams told the following yarn:
A man goes into a drug store and
says to the soda clerk: ''I want a
glass of plain soda water without
flavor"
"What flavor do you want it with.
out?" the clerk asks.
What favors have you?" the GUS
toner inquiries.
I'VE have strawberry, vanilla
chocolate and pineapple" the clerk
replies.
"All right" says the customer
"I'll have it without pineapple"
eve are all out of pineapple, the
clerk says. "Will you have it with
out strawberry?'

After Auto License. Dodgers.

I Sheriff S. G. Ray says that here
after he is going to pull all auto
mobile owners who drive their->cars
on which are not displayed the 1922
automobile license tag. It is said that
there are some cars in Bamberg and
throughout the county which have no
new tags on them. 1t is against the
law to drive cars without the license
tag, and the sheriff says ihe is giving
everybody notice. Violation of the
license tag law means a heavy fine,
and times are bad enough without
having to pay out unnecessary mon
ey in the way Of fines, especially as
the fines are always heavier than the
cost of the tags.

Ehrhd,ilr'h Goes in
for Draining Town

A bill of interest was introduced
in the house of representatives last
week by Representative J. Carl
Kearse, of Bamberg. The bill pro-
vides for the creation of drainage
district including the town of Ehr-
hardt, and provides special levy of
five mills to pay for the towns share
of a drainage project to free the COM
munity of mosquitoes and the accom-
panying malarial diseases. Senator
Black will introduce similar bill in
the senate this week, and as it is
purely a local matter there is nc
doubt of it's passage.
= The bill was prepared upon petition
of the people of Ehrhardt to the coun-
ty delegation. The petition calling
for the creation of the drainage dis
trict with Ehrhardt as the nucleus
was signed by vast majority OF the
people of Ehrahrdt, who became in
terested in freeing the town of mos
auitoes several months ago. A meet
ing was held in the interest Of the
project at which it was practically the
unanimous decision of the town that
the work should be undertaken.
The fact that the town of Ehrhardt
and the surroudnig territory have
been terribly hard hit in financial
way during the past year did not de-
ter them from taking care of their
health. It was decided that the town
needed the drainage, and conditions
not permitting the raising of the
ready cash at this time, they readily
consented to a special levy to pay
their part of the expense.
It is estimated that it will cost
$1,000 to drain the town and outly-
ing district. One half of this amount,
$4,000, will be paid by the Internal
ional Health Commission, as was the
case in BamDerg;; the remaining nall
will be paid by Ehrhardt.
Twenty-three responsible citizens
of Ehrhardt have already guaran-
teed the payment of the fund; conse-
quently the work is not even being
held up pending the passage of the
bill creating the special fund. The
natural lay of the land in Ehrhardt
is quite favorable to drainage pro-
ject; therefore, the expense is not
nearly 50 heavy as was the case in
Bamberg. Government engineers,
through the health boards, have al
ready surveyed the town, and it is
expected that the work will be COM
pleted at an early date.

ToResumePa astoral
Duties Next June

The elders of the Bamberg Presby-
terian church request correction of
a slight misunderstanding in regard
to the announcement recently by the
Rev. Phillip A. Nickel, pastor of the
local Presbyterian church. When
Mr.. Nickel announced that the past
Sunday would be his last visit as
Presbyterian pastor here until his
course of studies at the seminary in
Columbia had been completed, the
idea was conveyed to some of his
hearers that it Meant his definite res
ignation This, The Herald is in
formed, is an erroneous idea, and the
many warm friends and admirers of
the brilliant young Presbyterian pas
tor will be delighted to know that he
will return here to resume his pas
toral duties next June, or as soon as
his seminary duties will permit.
For some months past Mr.. Nickel
has preached at the Bamberg and
Denmark churches, delivering one
sermon each Sunday at one or the
other of the churches, making the
trip from Columbia during the school
months to fill his appointments. In
asmuch as his graduation comes at
the end Of the present seminary
term, with the consequent stringent
examinations, the Presbyterian pas
tor has found that he cannot do JUS
tice to both pastoral work and semi
nary studies, and he therefore feels
it incumbent upon himself to tighten
his burden until his studies are COM
pleted.
Mr.. Nickel will, therefore, re-
turn to Bamberg in the early sum-
mer, at which time he will enter
upon full pastoral duties. The Her
aid regrets that it gave expression
to the misunderstanding, and it heart
lily joins in with the good Presby-
terians in wishing for the church
and it's excellent pastor and his wife
the very best of success and spiritual
blessings.

Call is Extended
To Marion Paste,

Last Sunday evening at a called
conference of the membership of the
Bamberg Baptist church, a call to
the local Baptist pastorate was ex-
tended to Rev. o. B. Falls, D. D., OF
Marion, S. C. A committee was nam
ed to inform DR.. Falls of the call,
and the Marion pastor now has the
matter under advisement, and will
proba bly, give his decision in the next
few days.
DR.. Falls filled the pulpit of the
Baptist church here last Sunday
morning and evening, upon the in
vitation of the pulpit committee, and
preached two excellent and inspiring
sermons. He is preacher of pleas
ing personality, undoubted ability,
and of eminent success as a pastor
and preacher.
DR.. Falls was born in Virginia. He
was educated in Richmond college,
and received his ministerial training
at the Southern Baptist Theological
seminary, Louisville, KY. His pas
toral work has included seven years
in Texas and five years in Florida.
For some time past he has been pas
tor of the First Baptist church of
Marion.
DR.. Falls is not entirely a stranger
here. Last fall he conducted re-
vival meeting in Denmark, and his
evangelistic powers attracted consid-
erable attention Throughout this Sec
tion.
