Loqters Are Giuen
a Sharp Waning

Sheriff Ray and Chief of Police
Moody spent quite a while Monday
morning in giving warning to loaf
ers that they must either depart from
THEM idle ways, leave town or go to
the chain gang. The orders have
gone out to white and black alike
that this thing Of living by the sweat
of somebody else's brow is no longer
to be tolerated. Idleness breeds
crime and the officers do not intend
to stand for it.
All parties are given the warning
that unless they go to work in a
reasonable time they will again be.
waited on by the officers, and the
next time with drastic measures. The
vagrancy laws are going to be en-
forced, the officers state, without fear
or favor, and the time has now come
for everybody to earn his own bread.
1t is pointed out that the county
chain gang needs laborers, and that
it will surely be replenished if any
be found who are vagrant and have
no visible means Of support.

F.. X. GRAHAM HURT.
Injured in Fall From Porch in Allen.
dale Last Week.

The friends of F. K. Graham will
regret to learn that he has been con-
fined to his bed here for several days
past on account of an injury sustain
ed in a fall while in Allendale last
week. Mr.. Graham was conducting
an auction sale, at that place, and
while going out of door at board
ing house, stepped from a high porch,
by accident, resulting in painful
bruises, though no serious injury was
sustained. His condition necessitat-
ed calling in a physician when he re-
turned to Bamberg, and sprain of
the back has laid him up, but he is
now much better, and will probably
be out again in a few days.

Missionary Meeting.

The week of prayer was observed
by the ladies Of the w. NJ. S. Of the
Baptist church, beginning January 2,
1922. The three circles held separ-
ate meetings at the various homes
every afternoon. On Wednesday af-
ternoon, however, the 'ingathering
meeting" was. held at the church, all
the circles combining. The subject
for discussion was China, and inter-
esting papers were read by Mesdames
Lewis, Heard and Lane, ihterspersed
with prayer for the different branch
es Of our foreign work.
Last, but in no wise least, Mrs. c..
w. Rentz, Sr., gave very compre-
hensive talk on China. She began
with her ancestors, who were among
the first Baptist Missionaries, telling
Of their lives of toll and sacrifice, and
contrasting their lot with the mis-
sionaries of the present day. She
closed with very earnest appeal to
Christians to pray for those on the
foreign field.
Mrs. White, who has served us so
faithfully as president, urged that
every one be present at the regular
meeting on Wednesday, the eleventh
instant, as the election of new
president would be before the body.
We appreciate the good work that
Mrs. White has done in our midst,
and regret to lose her as our leader.
Mrs. J. F. Lane, Cor. Secretary.

115 New Criminal Cases.

Columbia has many terms of court
during a year and its criminal court
nearly always lasts three weeks at
time. Criminal court there is in ses-
sion now, and the presiding judge
told the writer Monday night that
there were up before him and the
grand jury at this term no less than
115 new cases to be passed on since
the last time criminal court convened
in Columbia, a remarkable record he
said, but not one to be proud of; so
far as known this record for crime
has never been equalled in the state.
There are 1S7 lawyers in Columbia,
nearly all of them young ones, and
the question, "How do they all make
a living" has often been asked. This
enlightenment from the trial judge
makes that answer easy: they prac-
tice criminal law, and then too they
don't work for their health either.

Rains and Shows Hoped For.

The farmers and others have been
hoping most earnestly for some genu-
inely cold weather, including SHOWS,
freezes, rains, etc. The winter has
been quite mild so far, in spite Of the
many predictions to the contrary, and
it is felt that unless there is some
real cold weather the boil weevils are
going to get in some active work
again this summer. Saturday when
snow appeared to be imminent most
people were happy, one farmer .ex-
pressing the wish that it would snow
foot deep. While this was rather
deeper than the average person hoped
for, still a snow would have been
very welcome, and will still be so.
The ground is extremely dry, as
there has been very small rainfall
for several months past, and the
farmers say that some long seasons
of rain or snow are needed to pulver-
ize the earth, and give the grain
crops good send-off.
1t is pointed out that cold, wet
and severe winter is usually followed
by favorable crop conditions during
the summer, whereas a dry, mild
winter is most frequently followed by
a wet spring and summer to the detri-
ment of growing crops.

Ship Cooperative
Carload of Hogs

Recently Ehrhardt farmers made
up cooperative shipment of hogs
for the market which proved to be a
successful venture, and quite little
benefit as well as valuable knowledge
and experience was obtained.
The car was made up by o. E..
Kearse, E. H. Kearse, W. G. Muller,
W. H. Ritter, Jim HERS, and others,
under the supervision of j.. D. Bran
don, county agent. The car consist
ed of II hogs averaging 16o lbs. each.
Practically all grades of hogs were
represented, including some that
were oily and soft, The car was dis
posed of in Richmond, Va, to the
packers at a price of eight cents per
pound on foot for ''tops,' which
brought the shippers $3.50 per 100
pounds f. o. b. Ehrhardr. Freight
and food bill amounted to 500, and
commission was three per cent.
Peanut fed hogs were cut as much
as two and one-half cents but very
few killed out soft, also hogs weigh
ing over 200 pounds were cut slight
Iy as that size is undesirable. 1t is
found that hogs weighing around $50
pounds and corn fed brought the top
of the market.
A bill of sale was return
ed for each hog showing the
weight, price, and what undesir7
able features were present. Each
animal is bought subject to being
killed, so that soft and oily hogs are
checked upon correctly before checks
are forwarded to the shippers. After
slaughtering the carcasses are hung
up and allowed to cool, when an in
spection is made for soft pork and
are cut in price according to the de-
gree of softness.
Experiments have shown that it
takes from 35 to 40 days of corn
feeding to get hog to kill out hard
and while on peanuts hogs should be
fed corn to make sure that they will
kill out hard.

Court Will Convene
Here January 80

The regular winter term of the
court of general sessions will convene
in Bamberg on Monday morning,
January %, at 0 O'Clock, with Judge
James H. DeVore, of Endgefeld, pre-
siding.
The jury for the week of court
was drawn on Wednesday morning,
and the list appears below.
This is expected to be one of the
most important sessions of court held
in Bamberg in several years. Due to
the fact that the special term of court
in December was declared illegal by
Judge Rice, after the trial of a num-
Der of cases, these same cases will
again come up for trial at the forth
coming session of criminal court.
The cases tried include two murder
trials and one for lesser offense,
while the Williamson and Goodwin
cases will likely come up for trial
this month. 1t will be recalled that
the last session of court was declared
illegal on the filing of application for
continuance of the case of Goodwin,
charged with murder, the complaint
being made that the session was not
advertised in accordance with law.
Since that time there have been
several homicides in the county and
some of these cases will also likely
come up for trial. Following are the
petit jurors:

Charge White Man
> With Negro s Death

Last Wednesday afternoon the in
quest over the dead body of Grover
Hayes, the negro who was dealt a
mortal blow on Mrs. NJ. A. Bamberg's
place near this city on the last day
of the old year, was reopened, and a
further investigation conducted by
Coroner Zeigler. 1t will be remem-
bered that Hayes was found in the
woods on the place in an unconscious
condition, the discovery being made
by Charles Robinson, tenant on Mrs.
Bamberg's place. He had been
struck terrible blow on the head
and died the following morning early
without speaking again. At the first
investigation very little light was
thrown on the tragedy, Dr.. H. g. j.
Stuckey being the only witness to tes-
tify. His was simply professional tes-
timony as to the cause of death and
the nature of the wound, and as
nothing else definite concerning the
homicide could be brought gut at that
time the inquest was adjourned or
closed and the, verdict reached that
the negro met death from the hands
of unknown parties.
1t now develops that Hayes was
killed by white man and there was
an eye witness to the Staying, the
witness also being white man. Ed
Gore, a young white man about 27
years old, has been charged with
murder by the coroner's jury, but it
is said he left this community i'm
mediately after the trouble and has
not been apprehended- Gore is a
stranger in Bamberg where he came
about month ago from North Caro-
lima with the prospect of operating a
meat market in this city for his
brother-in-law, H. G.. Jenrette. He
has family. -
The only witness and the only
party aside from Gore himself who
really knows anything about the
homicide is Cliff Robinson, youthful
son of Charles Robinson, the tenant
of the farm where the trouble oc-
Cured. Young Robinson's evidence
before the recent coroner's inquiry
which resulted in the warrant being
issued for Gore, was to the effect
that he and Gore were in the woods
hunting when the negro who had
been sent down into the woods by
Robinson's father to see about some
hogs came upon them, and an argu-
ment started between Hayes and
Gore. 1t is claimed that the negro
then attacked Gore who put down his
gun, grabbed a stick and welded it
with the fatal result. 1t is said that
the nature of the wound indicated
that the blow must have been struck
with small but heavy and possibly
loaded instrument. Only one lick
was dealt and the skin was not brok-
en- while the skill was crushed.

Circuit Judges to be Elected.

In addition to the supreme court
justice there are quite number of
the circuit judges of the state whose
election will come before the general
assembly at it's present session in
cluding the second circuit which en-
braces Bamberg county. Judge
Hayne F. Rice, of Aiken, is the in
cumbent and it appears that he will
be reelected without opposition, al
though one Barnwell lawyer has been
mentioned as a possible candidate;
his entrance into a contest with
Judge Rice will hardly develop. 1t is
probable that the only circuit Judge
with opposition will be the Hon. l..
w. Bowman, of Orangeburg, as judge
of the first circuit. This promises to
result in a very keen race, his op-
ponent being M. NJ. Mann, of St. Mat
thews. Mr.. Mann is clerk of the
senate and has an unusually strong
following. Many Bamberg citizens
will watch this race with interest.
