Mrs. Thos. Ducker at Home.

Thomas Ducker went to Asheville,
N. c., Sunday, and surprised his
friends by bringing his wife home
with him. Mrs. Ducker has been IN
Asheville for almost three years, on
account OF her delicate health. She
has made a wonderful fight to regain
her health, and recently her doctor
told her that she had improved so
rapidly during the summer months
that she could come home this fall.
As this was not known to many OF
their friends, the return of Mrs.
Ducker after such a long absence
was a most delightful surprise. Mrs.
Ducker is necessarily having to live
a quite restricted life for a while,
but she is, of course, delighted to be
among home folks on any kind OF
terms; while Mr.. Ducker, a most
faithful and devoted husband, be-
acuse of her return is probably the
happiest man in Bamberg. Mrs. Duck
er's hundreds of friends will be glad
to know that she is at home and that
her condition is quite satisfactory.

noble work that is being carried on
by the U. D. C. throughout the state.
During the business session ways

Ginners' Report Issued.

H. J. Bellinger, local statistician
for the bureau of crop estimates, an
nounces that. up to September 25th,
1922, there had been ginned in Bam-
berg county 3,431 bales of cotton.
This compares with 1883 to the same
date last year. While the ginning
shows a considerable increase over
last year, it is likely that the ginning
is being done somewhat earlier. The
report was issued on October 5th.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1922-10-12

The 1922 cotton crop is almost a
thing of the past. Only here and
there can be seen cotton in the fields
While the gins are still running on
part time, the indications are that
the crop will be only slightly larger
than last year; due to the excessive
rainfall during the summer months
which effectively prevented poisoning
of the boil weevil, although the wee
vii is not credited with all the dam
age. It is generally conceded that
very little cotton would have been
produced even though there had been
no weevils this year. -

Sudden Death OF
Oscar 4. Simmons

Oscar Allen Simmons, one of the
best known and most prominent cltl-
Izens of this city, died in Augusta, Ga,
last Thursday night, following an ILL
ness of only few hours. News of the
serious illness of Mr.. Simmons was
received here early Thursday after
noon, and Mrs. Simmons, in company
with other relatives, left at once for
his bedside at the University hospital,
death resulting a few hours later in
the early evening. Doctors pronounc-
ed his malady apoplexy.
Thursday morning Mr.. Simmons
joined a party consisting of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. E. Spann and Mrs. G. P. Hoot-
on on a shopping trip to Augusta.
Mr.. Simmons drove the car to Aiken,
where he turned the wheel over to
Mr.. Spann. When within few miles
of Augusta, Mr.. Simmons complained
of indigestion, and the party stopped
at the home of a colored man where
simple medicine was given him; he
appeared to improve, and the party
went on to Augusta. Mr.. Spann stop
ped at a garage to have a tire re-
paired. and Mr.. Simmons was the
first to get out of the car, but was
unable to stand, although he told
his friends he was quite well. 1t was
thought best to take him at once to
the hospital for treatment, and
on reaching the hospital Mr.
Simmons had lapsed into uncon-
sciousness, from which he never re-
vived. Examining physicians pro-
nounced him a very i'll man, and rela-
tives were wired for.
The body was brought to Bamberg
from Augusta at: nine o'clock Friday
morning. The funeral services were
conducted at the late residence of
Mr.. Simmons by Rev. S. o. Cantey,
pastor of the Methodist church, and
interment occurred at Restland ceme-
terry. The grave was banked with
large number Of beautiful floral tri-
butes, attesting the universal esteem
in which he was held by relatives
and friends
Oscar Allen Simmons was 50 years
of age, the son of the late
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen Simmons.
He was born near Bamberg
and lived here all of his life with
the exception of a short residence in
Florida. Several years ago he was
married to Miss Blanch Spann, who
survives him. Some years ago Mr..
and Mrs. Simmons adopted Miss
Marie Dantzler as their daughter,
who also survives her foster father.
The following brothers and sisters
survive Mr.. Simmons: B. w. Sim
mons, of Greenwood; T. j. Simmons,
of Islandton; Mrs. S. A. Hand, of
Bamberg, and Mrs. c. F. Ellzey, OF
Savannah.
The deceased was member of the
Masonic and Knights of Pythias fra
ternities. He had been connected
with a number of business houses in
Bamberg, and was good business
man. He was a high-toned gentle
man, and will be sorely missed by
wide circle of friends and acquaint-
ances. He was possessed with most
genial and jovial disposition which
made him the friend Of everyone who
came in contact With him. His sud-
den death came as great shock to
his many Bamberg acquaintances.

BY STUART p. WEST.

NEW YORK. April 11.-There was no
lessening today of the confident spirit
back Of the security dealings.
The stock market for an hour or so
had quite test of it's powers of alb
sorption. Realizing sales during that
period were extremely heavy, and prices
seemed to waver. but the hesitation was
short lived.
Before midday a fresh wave Of buying
swept into the leading industrial stocks,
and the market started upward again.
There was no connection between
the movement on the stock exchange
and that in the other markets.
The foreign exchanges in yester-
days rise had evidently gone as far

garding the Genoa conference. They

Gasoline Higher.
Their essential concern is with
the important news of the day was
an advance of a cent gallon In
gasoline prices, announced by the
Standard Oil Company of New York.
1t remains to be seen whether this
advance in the New York district is
1ptv,
of oil prices or whether it. is only
local adjustment But following
last weeks similar increase by the
Standard Oil of Indiana, it fitted in
with predictions which have been
made for several weeks that the sea-
gasoline will soon wear down reserve
supplies sufficiently to bring about a
higher price level.
The oil stocks were quick to respond
to the news, the buying converging more
particularly upon Mexican Petroleum.
taking in also in one degree or another

Motors Again Firm.
For the other feature of the day-the
strength in motor and motor accessory
shares-there was no fresh trade news
to afford an explanation. Whether or
not speculative Wall street is OVERRIDING
matters in this quarter Of the market
is opened to question.
But at the moment the speculation in
such stocks as Studebaker, Chandler and
Stromberg mas not yet encountered any
formidable resistance.
Motors went along moderately in
the wake of Studebaker Those In the
best position to know were still en-

it was on the increase.
Zinc Stocks Active.
Zinc stocks came in for more at
tention following another jump in the
price of the metal, this time to above
cents a pound. The surplus supply
in this country has been drawn down
so low that this fresh advance in price
is expected to bring in further buy
ing from interests which have not yet
covered their requirements.
The statistical position Of spelter

large scale seems closer than it did
