Dead

An invalid who had spent long
time over his convalescence in a hos
pital, where he was. extremely COM
Portable, was warned that soon he
would have to be removed. So he
conceived a plan by which his reten-
ton in such pleasant surroundings
could be secured.
When his temperature was being
taken and the nurses attention was
centered on the next patient, he re-
moved the thermometer from his
mouth and rubbed it hard on his
sleeve.
The nurse, returning to him, looked
at the thermometer, murmured:
Poor fellow" and went to report.
Later she returned and announced
that the patient would have to leave
that day.
"But nurse" protested the man,
my temperature was up again this
morning.
I'm a sweet voice, nurse answered.:
Eyes, that's right; up to 40. That's
why they are moving you; you're

There are some who still persist in
the belief that there is nothing in
truck growing, tobacco growing, etc.
While these men, well meaning no
doubt are bemoaning the loss of their
pet crop, cotton, the truck growers
are selling their produce and getting
real money for it-not as much as
they would like to get, to be sure,
nevertheless they are receiving cash
money with which to carry on their
farming operations, pay their bills
with, and buy necessaries for the
home and farm, and this is more than
the cotton mourners are getting. The
Herald knows whereof it speaks, for
it is getting a little of the truck
money in accounts due, subscription
renewals, advertising stimulation,
etc.

NOTICE CONCERNING FLOWING
IN PUBLIC ROADS.

Pursuant to recommendation OF
the Bamberg County Grand jury, the
landowners of the county cultivating
lands adjacent and adjoining public
roads are hereby urgently requested
not to plow into or allow their hands
to plow into the roads. Landowners
are requested to plant two or three
rows of crops adjacent to roads paral-
lei with the road, so that there may
be proper turning space without the
necessity of turning plows In the
roads. 1t is against the law to aa-
low plows to damage the roads,
and it is an unnecessary prae-
tice. The county spends large sums
of money in road building, and the
roads belong to the people. I have
no desire to prosecute anybody, bus
I must insist that this practice be
stopped Immediately. The farmers
and tenants can cooperate in this re-
spect, and there should be no neces-
sity to bring action against ANYBODY:
Full notice is being given before
take such action.

Supervisor.

no apology to make for having done
it. We fought a glorious and manly
fight and lost as might have been ex
pected, for slavery was the corner
stone of the southern Confederacy
which sought to perpetuate an insti-
tuition that would have kept the fet-
ters of serfdom on the wrists of near
ly one-half of the entire people of
the south and a merciful, kind, ben
eficent Providence intervened, and
Lee lost to Meade at Gettysburg as
a result of Gods disfavor, as did the
great Napoleon to wellington at Wa
terloo sixty-odd years before.

non around Richmond and Peters,
burg and shed our Sunday clothes
and don overalls and grapple like
men with the problems before us,
for it is alone by honest labor and
earnest endeavor that a people can
ever become truly great. We have
been too much wont to look down
from Empyrean heights and exclaim
to common humanity that there are
none others like US beneath the sun,
and with turgid talk swell up with
the vanity and pomposity Of the pea
cock. The curse of slavery was our
greatest weakness, and the war did
US good in one other way, for it tore.
the fetters of caste and custom from
the whites which was an evil as great
as slavery itself. This was nobler
emancipation than the one by which
Lincoln removed the fetters from the
wrists of southern negroes. Lincoln
by this proclamation freed almost
one-half Of our population but the
result that flowed out of this bloody
conflict freed more of our white peo-
pie than Lincoln freed of negroes.
In this mad tempest of battle the
new south-now no longer In seces-
sion and rebellion, but a part of our
glorious union and loyal to the core

the groans of maternity, this deluge
of blood was her baptismal rite.
From the ashes of desolate homes
and ruined cities she sprang up Phoe-
nix-like and now mounts to greater
heights and a more glorious future.
Lincoln's proclamation was rain
bow of promise that never again,
while the world stands or the heav-
ems endure, shall north and south
meet in battle shock-the greatness
of one section shall become the COM
mon heritage of the other. That we
should have suffered the pains of re-
construction was to have been ex-
pected; in many cases unnecessarily
severe; partly due to the fact that
the north misunderstood US and our
blacks, even as we persist in misun-
derstanding many of the well mean
ing yankees.
They were, however, in the light
of all that history tells US, as lenient

The law was thoroughly vindicat-
ed in Columbia last week when the
trail and conviction of the three al
legged murderers of young Annette
were completed within ten days after
the commission of the crime. That
is, the law was vindicated so far as
the circuit court is concerned. To our
mind this trial has created a more
healthy respect for the law than any
trial in this state in many years.
Technicahties were swept aside, and
the business of the court went for

The Yorkville Enquirer has no
congratulations to offer Governor
Cooper upon his appointment to the
farm loan board. The Enquirer
says that it was purely a mercenary
affair, that the $4,000 salary, ano
not patriotism, was the controlling
factor in the governors acceptance
and resignation as governor, and
wonders why such a man was ever
elected to the governorship. The
Enquirer further says that the job
did not come to the governor un-
sought; that he went after it and
landed it.
