?tj? lamlirrg i*irral& ? ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. A. W. KNIGHT, Editor. in Thp X uumuvu till J xnutow?(l .u Herald building. 0:1 Main street; in the live and growing City of Bamberg, being issued from a printing office which is equipped with Mergenthaler linotype machine, cylinder press, folder, two jobbers, all run by electric power, with other material and machinery in keeping, the whole equipment representing an investment of $10,000 and upwards.

We. require the name and address of. the writer in every case. No article whicn is aeiamaior.v ux offensively personal can find place in y|' our columns at any price, and we are aot responsible for the opinions expressed in any communication. llS1 Thursday, July 1,1909 If the dispensary is voted out of Bamberg county, we expect some i surprises in political tia-ics years hence. Suppose every business man in Bamberg persistently boosted Bamberg one-half as much as The Bamberg Herald. Don't you believe it would benefit,the town? Suppose you try boosting Bamberg a while and see what an impression you will make on those who don't know the town as well as you do. Wherever you go, be an apostle of . sunshine. If you feel good, let people know it- If a man deserves a kind word, give it to him. If an enterprise deserves a boost, give it. Above all, if you believe in your town, tell people everywhere you go ?V~^ r\1 o /-.?> it ic If PVPrV IV UttI a. guuu it w. . Bamberg man will tell of^ the good town Bamberg is wherever he goes, it will bring results. Suppose you I tryit:" While the board of arbitrators, 'who were selected to adjust the differences between the Georgia Railroad and the striking firemen, which differences grew out of the employment of negro firemen." have decided against the white firemen as regards their seniority over negro firemen, 3till we regard their decision as a victory for the white firemen, for the arbitrators decided that negroes must be paid the same salary as white men {for the same work. This no doubt will soon lead to the elimination of negroes as firemen, for it is certain negroes would not be employed unless they worked cheaper. . Why would it not be better for the legislature of South Carolina to meet in the latter part of the summer instead of in January? Several of our best farmers and business men have j {tola us tnat iney wouiu uoi unuu serving in the house or senate if the meeting was the latter part of the summer when there was not so much for them to do at home. The first of the year is a time when most farmers cannot leave their business, and we believe summer sessions would give the State more representative men in the general assembly. If this constitutional amendment was submitted to the people, we believe it would carry by a big majority, and we trust that some present member of the body will be patriotic enough to offer such a resolution. In an editorial discussing Hon. R. I. Manning, of Sumter, the Columbia Record says: "It was only his position on the dispensary that kept Mr. Manning from being elected governor in 190G. He was acknowledged to hp thp most fit man in the race. the most available, except for his ad vocacv of the State dispensary." By whom, pray, was Mr. Manning acknowledged to be the most fit man in the race, and where does The Record get its information that Mr. Manning would have been elected governor except for his advocacy of the dispensary? There is no use to discuss politics in an off year, but we had not heard that Mr. Manning was acknowledged to be the most fit man iu the race, or that he would have been governor except, for his views on the dispensary. The fact fs that Mr. Manning never stood any show of being elected against Ansel, and we predict that he will never be elected governor of South Carolina. m . jq . Dr. Geo. B. Cromer, of Newberry in a public speech said that in New berry a blind tiger keeper was sen to the chain gang, but in Charlestoi he was n ade foreman o: the grain jury. Evidently a blind tiger keep jer was not foreman of the grand jur: i which recently complained of viola : tions of the dispensary law in Char j lestoii. Think of this record: Bamberg ii [the smallest county in the State an< yet we have five banks in the count: | and another has just been organized i For the territory. Bamberg will hav< [more banks than any county in tin 1 State. That looks like Baniber; icountv is prosperous, don't it? I !you want to locate in a prosperou: j county, come to Bamberg. i We wish every man in Bamber/ ! would honestly ask himself this ques ! tion: What am 1 doing to maki i Bamberg a better business town ant !a better place to live in? If the an iswer shows that you are not expend j ing any effort along either line, ge busy. It will pay you as well as hel] | the town, for whatever helps th< [town benefits every citizen who lives here. * A meeting of the prohibitionists of this county is called to meet in th( town hall next Monday, and we pre sume plans for the voting out of th< dispensary will be discussed. Le ! oicn Hppirip to enforc( j UiWV w prohibition in case the dispensary is (voted out. Every good citizei should make it his business to se( that the law is enforced and make ii ! prohibition in fact as well as ir name. SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS. If any evidence was needed to convince the editor of this newspaper ol the place The Herald holds in the i hearts of the people of the town ol j Bamberg, that evidence has beer j forthcoming during the progress ol ; our popularity contest. The young j ladies who have been working to wir jthe prizes have so often remarked . that it was hard to get new subscribJ ers in Bamberg, as everybody here takes The Herald. And it seems that what few were not subscribers have had their names put on ouj list, while those who are now subscribers have paid in advance fo? two, three, and five years, as well as paying for papers to be sent tc relatives out of town. We say il anything was needed to convince us 'of the hold The Herald has on Bamberg's people, these facts would dc so. But it was not neededf for the steady growth of our business (which comes practically unsolicited) and the friendship and support The Herald enjoys from the best people of the town convinced us long ago that Bamberg people believed ir this newspaper. All the more do we appreciate it, for we know that it comes from the merits of The Herald as a newspaper ana notning eise, The above might also be said with ! truth of other sections of the county, j While it is true that The Herald | has never hesitated to speak its mind ion public questions, we have always stood for the best interests of our town and county.' While we have spoken out when occasion demanded it, still we have never catered to the popular side on any matter. We have assumed positions which were unpopular with some, and on questions affecting the welfare of the i town and its people we have had opposed to us some of our strong and influential citizens. But we have always differed honestly and decently, always giving others credit for the same honesty of opinion that we claimed for ourselves. We need in Bamberg more tolerance for the views of others. A man is not necessarily a jfool or a rascal because he doesn't happen to think as you do, and he has just as much right to an opinion and to express that opinion as you have. (It would ge well tc i rcmomhpr this in the aDDroachin.s dispensary election.) As in the past, so in the future The Herald will continue to advocate those things which it believes is for the best interests of our growing little city and fine little county. We do not expect to be popular, but we do expect'to so conduct our newspaper that it will have some force and r>Viavar>tev iPflvin? rift doilbt US tO OUI position on any public matter. A newspaper editor who has opinions and expresses them does not or neec not expect personal popularity. His personality is merged into his news paper, and if passing time discloses the wisdom of his editorial course he should be content even if th( public sometimes misunderstand: and says hard things about him. Again, we sincerely thank ever: one for their kind support and pat ronage in the past and we will dul: appreciate all business thrown ou: way in' the future. We believe w< deserve the undivided support of oui people, and we will continue to giv< them full value for every dolla: spent with The Herald, whether foi subscriptions, advertisements or jol work. * / :j HERALDOSITIES. t: l ; A newspaper run on business prin. j ciples. depending solely on its merits as an advertising medium and on its! - j live news columns to effect its en-j r i trance into homes whereby the ad_! vertisements it may contain will ; prove results and effectiveness to ", that portion of the business men of ! any town who apply up-to-date j methods to the conduct of their 51 business, is so much of a novelty , | that a certain amount of friction has i necessarily resulted in the process < i of evolution from the old days when . subscriptions were paid in cord wood " ? and advertising bills in bacon, to the ~ present day, when it takes cash to ? make the press go round. ? There are those in every commut nity who find it rather hard to acs custom themselves to this new cons dition o: affairs and who, in jarring themselves loose from a dollar or so for an advertisement or subscription, I are inclined to charge that amount to . the charity fund, and if results are a not immediate to the extent of a " seven-fold return on the investment, i crawl back into their shell and are - lost to public view until such time _ when in another spasmodic Durst or generosity another dollar is invest1 ed. 5 In these days of publicity, if one 5 thing is more clearly demonstrated : ? than another, it is the fact that ad3 vertising to reach out and get the business must be continuous and have the merit of originality behind 5 it. There is always a pacemaker in ? this line in every community and . as a natural result of competition he k keeps everlastingly at it. The re' suit is he corrals the business. His t is the store that is the brightest j along the principal street. His are 5 the clerks who can define the word 5 courtesy, and his is the stock 1 which remains a stranger to dust ? and cobwebs. t These are the days when a business cannot be built upon the strength of personality alone and as a ruleit is the man with .the biggest personality who does the most advertising. He is the man who expands while the other fellow:?well?some day he ..will just simply dry up and f bPow away. . . if * p There are more automobiles to the square inch in Bamberg than any = i nthor tnivn r>f itc ciyp in the State? t probably in the entire South, which r indicates two or three things?that ' che people of our little burg are live 1 wires?that they have got the I money to buy the machines and . when "flying machines" become 4 popular we'll have our share of ' those, too. > * * * 5 Somewhere we have heard the ex. pression "the gentle art of making enemies." It is an art?a fine art. Any man with force and ginger in ' his make-up is bound to make ene[ mies. The nonenity in ? community ) will plod his peaceful way through . life with never a ripple to disturb : the placidity of existence, content in s the self-induced belief that all men . look well upon him. His is the type which accomplishes nothing worth while; happy in a mere meat and bread living?maybe what the s world calls a "good provider," but . when the only event of real im. j portance in his career transpires? ' death?it takes a towering monu- = ment of granite to call attention to ; the fact that he ever lived. * * * Not long ago a drummer stepped ! off the train in a small, nearby town. ; He was one of those big, jolly, baywindow fellows with "the smile that won't come off." He carried a little ' brown leather sample case and 1 painted on the side in big letters was the expression "This town looks [ good to me." He carries the same message to every town he visits, doubtiess, but it is the spirit of the 1 thing which counts. It is safe to, say that his order book works over, time. Mr. does your town look good to you? If it does, then tell somebody ' 1 aDout 11. = , I * * * There were four in the group under a shade tree on Main street. You ' all know the spot. Prohibition was the subject under discussion. Each . side of the question had its supporters. 'It ended up this way: "Do you know what the total ' cash sales of ail the stores in Bam, berg were on a certain Saturday > within the past month?" asked the f advocate of prohibition. "No, what were they?" came from 1 the other side. > Figures -were given. "Do you know what the cash re, ceipts of the dispensary were on the same date?" "No, let's have them." Figures were given. t The gross "booze" receipts were ( nearly twice as much as the total cash receipts of all other classes of ? mercantile business in Bamberg. That's all! ! INJURED AT SAWMILL. John Q. Cannon Severely Hurt in Lexington. > i I Lexington, June 29.?Mr. John Q. Cannon, overseer at the large saw^ mill plant of Hon. D. F. ESrd, a few miles from Lexington, was painfully l injured by a cut-off saw on last Thursday. Mr. Cannon was operats ing the saw and was standing on a I plank, when in some unknown man51 nor tho ninnl,- was knocked out from - under him. throwing him directly , across the running saw. He was se' verely cut across the breast, on the ' j inside of the right leg and across the - j chin. Medical aid was summoned at = ;' once, and Mr. Cannon is resting niceI lv at this time.
