The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1922-10-05
Thursday, Oct. 5, 1922.

According to local people who have
given the matter considerable
thought, the exodus of COL
ored people from Bamberg
county to northern cities has
assumed such proportions as to
become alarming to the agricultural
interests of this section: County
Treasurer Jennings, who is in posi-
ton to know by reason Of being the
tax collector, estimates that no less
than one thousand negroes have LETT
the county within the past twelve
months. Of this number at least 500
could be estimated to be colored men,
most of who would be farm laborers.
The Herald is decidedly of the opin-
ion that farm owners are making a
grave mistake in not taking care OF
their laborers during these strenuous
times. While it is bad going for every
body now, and especially the farmer,
three years in. succession, it is also
true that with the return of better
crop conditions the farm owner is
likely to find himself without ade-
quate labor with which to produce a
crop. It has been quite impossible
for any farmer, and especially a
share-cropper, to make any money
crop for at least two years past. This
has caused great discomfort among
the colored population. They feel
that the alluring wages received by
some of the more fortunate negroes
in the north means wealth for them
if they follow. Of course this is not
correct, as many colored people can
testify. Living conditions in the
north are entirely unsiuted to ne
groes, and as rule it does not take
a long residence there to convince
them Of this fact. 1t would seem q
better plan to encourage the southern
negro labor to stay. here where they
are always assured Of good living,
even though they can not make
money crops. This the average farm
owner might do by giving them plen-
ty of land for growing food crops.
The county has plenty of land, much
of which has been idle for two years.
It would be better for the land and
better for the laborers if these lands
were titled, even though the owner
did not receive a cent of rent for
their use. Tenants would be assured
of growing plenty to eat, and by en-
couragement and assistance where
possible living conditions could be
made at least endurable until better
times return. Inasmuch as Bamberg
county depends entirely on it's agri-
cultural interests the necessity OF
conserving the labor is an imminent
and serious problem-one which calls
for the best attention of everybody,

A VAN WINKLE TOWN.
Village of Bernadote Comes to Life
After Lang Sleep.

Bernadote, Rip Van Wlnkle
town, is awakening from century Oh
sleep, says a Springfield, ILL.,, dis
patch.
Like those souls living ION yonder
hilI' above Spoon river, who we're,
quickened into life by the imagina-
ton of Edgar Lee Masters in his AN
thology', the unperturbed inhabit-
ants of this strange little village on
the same Spoon river, have been
touched with life by the pen of
newspaper writer.
Without telephones, automobiles,
railroads or any modern conVen-
fences, this town had gone on in its
undisturbed way for hundred years,
sleeping quietly in busy world, un-
til few days ago when it was dis
covered" by a motion picture director
and the next morning awoke to fame
with a column of type in Blooming
ton newspaper.
G. l.. Vanard, looking about for a
location" to film country town
scene, ran across the village. 1t has
no railroads and half the inhabitants
claim never to have seen train. IL
has no picture shows, and of course
had never seen motion picture
camera. There are no telephones and
no electricity in the town. The old
village grist mill is still grinding
away every day with water from the
same spillway that supplied the mill
a century ago.
But now strange things are hap
pening in Bernadote. Big automobiles
whiz through the village. There is
the unusual smell of oil and gasoline.
The swirling dust from many pneu-
matte tires distresses the bewildered
inhabitants. Old ladies in calico
dresses no longer go their quiet way
to the village store, and long Whls-
kered old men no longer calmly whit
tie the hours away under the village
trees. Their nerves twitch and the
day is no longer calm.
The article describing the rustic
wonders of the superannuated village
has brought tourists from far and
wide.
About the town go unusual looking
men with camera and stage appear
ances. They are the moving picture
people who are going to put Berna-
dote in the films. Bernadote is sleep
walking. Some of the oldest inhablt-
ants think. it is nightmare.
Most of the folks of the town are
farmers. A few Of the oldest are con-
sidered to be retired. The others
work in the fields, harvesting crops
from the same ground their fathers
and grandfathers titled.
There are two small wooden build
ings in the village that serve as
stores, where the simple wants of the
people are supplied. The houses are
quaint and old-fashioned, of the old
colonial and English type. Picket
fences separate the yards. Old-fash-
ioned flower gardens bloom in the
doorways.

None Too Hot.

During an art exhibition one of the
artists was receiving the benefit of a
friends criticism.
"This canvas, said the friend, in
dicating a violent bit of impressional-
ism. 'sDo you not think, after all, the
atmosphere is too warm?"
"No," said the artist, mot for a
pot boiler.
