Thursday, July 22, 1915. Weekly Weather Forecast. Issued by the United States weath" er bureau at Washington, for the jit Jweek beginning Wednesday, Julv 21. KpV 1915. ? ; For South Atlantic and East Gulf h' States: P~ The week will be one of normal I temperature and generally fair Bp weather, except that local thunderstorms are probable along the coasts and in Florida. I The advertisements form one of a the most interesting parts of a newsI paper. Most people read the adver| tisements and profit by them. If you fy'"' are not reading the ads in The Herald,, you are missing something. |Ef In the advertisements the merchants &V tell you something, tell you where fc you can get something of value. And. |p-. Mr. Merchant, remember, if you haVe something to tell the people? I' . and you must have or you would go oat of business?there is no better tfc way to tell it than by advertising in this newspaper. This is a home pa^ per for home people. A large part of the people who subscribe for The h Herald read no other newspaper, so [ if you have a message for home peol x pie, use The Herald's advertising columns. K' We do not think it wise or just to H.-: ,impugn the motives of the former governor of Georgia for saving Leo J . Frank's neck. But who is prepared -to say that if Frank had been a poor a man a man in the or P? dinary walks of life, he would , I not have gone to the gallows? "Frank's money and influence brought I him country-wide publicity. This IT publicity, or notoriety, brought him ( fct' much sympathy, and caused many influential persons to take an interest in his case. Without all this farel;; reaching influence being brought to bear, in all probability the man would have been tried, convicted and ? executed. We believe in treating ' everybody alike, most especially in f the courts. The man who cannot ? read isxentitled to as much sympathy when he gets into trouble as the mil? " ' lionaire. If a split-log drag association were in active operation in this county t1' practically every mile of public road ||iv in the county could be dragged when necessary. We do not know the miler age of roads in the county, but the cost of dragging would not be great. Of course it would not be necessary. after the roads were dragged a few f times, to go over them oftener than I once a month, or such a matter?pert haps not so often. But the point is. after a heavy rain a split-log drag will repair the roads quickly and eff , ficiently. It is not possible for the .. chain gang or the floating gangs to go over every road just when it . needs work. By the thorough or? ganization of an association of this kind, the farmers residing along the I, public roads would be employed to I use their teams to drag the roads I when necessary. [ If you are in the habit, dear sub> scriber, of ordering your wants from that mail order house catalogue you f keep on your table, just remember this: In thfs season of the year when there is very little money in i> v circulation, you don't send your order away, asking that the mail order iouse give you a little time to pay for it, to wait until you pick out that first bale of cotton. No: you don't think of doing it. You hitch up old 8 Bobbin and drive to town, and ask K your home merchant to do the crediting. Well, it is' possible that you & pay him just a little more than you H would pay your mail order house. R But if the goods are not satisfactory. V you bring them back to him, and he exchanges them with pleasure, or reM r funds your money if _you wish. !f you would all spend all your money with Bamberg merchants, they would be able to do more business, carry Iarser and better stocks. And his profits would be spent here in town. The town would be more prosperous, and in turn a portion of the same money you spent with him would ome back to you. POISONf jj ICK CIIKAM.

Last week on Friday, Germaine and her mother went to Des Grands .Magasins aux Galeries Lefayette to buy handkerchiefs, says the Pictorial , Review. They found them at sixty centimes, which is 12 cents. "It is . too much," said her mother. "We , will come next Friday when perhaps . they will be forty-five centimes." , And it matters not how many Fridays they must come. They will not buy until they find handkerchiefs at for- ^ ty-five centimes. There is needed a j yard and a half more of silk to finish j the dress they are making for Ger- ( maine. The silk was bought at a . special sale and the clerk intorms . them that the piece has now been put ] back in stock. Ah, so? Then they t will watch the sales until it is again , reduced. They can wait. I For they are French women, the ( closest buyers in the world.. Not t even at a bargain sale does a woman of this race lose her head. She goes t about it with steady nerves and a ( calm purpose. The Bon Marche or . the Galeries Lafayette or any other ^ department store that wants her , trade, must according to custom, j send to their patrons several days in t advance a leaflet announcing the r price of what they are offering on s the. onunters. At home then, and in f cold blood, without any hysteria, the! t shopper will go carefully over the j list and check off what she may wish ( to buy, a tablecloth, corsets, a pair of gloves, whatever else she decides she needs. Then when she reaches ( the store, she can walk down aisle ( after aisle, bargains to the right of j her. bargains to the left of her, bar- ( gains on the floor above her, with a \ singleness of purpose that see6 noth- j ing but what she came for. And she \ purchases nothing else. Is she not j wonderful, this French woman? She ( buys only what she needs. , vrkiTni* \\\ wni.FK DEAD. < Iil/1 A \ '1?

This war. with all its stupendous episodes, can have presented to the eye ot' an onlooker few more stupendous and fascinating pictures than that vision which I have been privileged to have every day of fate from a mountain top on the island of Imbros. To have a bird's-eye view of great and important military and naval operations combined under modern conditions is a new experience for the war correspondent: the working together of an army and a lieet of such dimensions as those employed in the battering down of Turkey's last defences will stand out as a unique feature of a world-wide struggle. Imagine the picture. From my point of view, a great part of the Gallipoli peninsula, past that section over which the operations range, lies spread out before me like a giant re lief niap. In front stretches the radiant "wine-red sea" of which Homer sang, a glorious ocean, dotted with rocky islands, which appear to be steeped generally in a marvellous purple haze. Down upon these shining waters look the gaunt, yellow rough-hewn heights, clothed but irregularly in green, of the Gallipoli peninsula. It is a rugged, grim, unlovely land, lonely looking. Gaunt cliffs face the sea; huge precipices are cut out of the yellow sandstone of the mountain sides: sandy ridges run in all directions. But this forbidding land has a curious moment of picturesqueness in its day. That is when the rays of the westering sun drive away its monotone and light up its features strangely, almost into beauty; when the still, thin curiously-stirred clouds of late afternoon flame with all the gorgeouscoloreding which has made the Mediterranean and its sister, the Aegean so famous for evening beauty. The yellow precipices of the peninsula are brilliantly gilded; the tex;ure of its rugged spaces is made :lear, and they stand out boldly against the freshened green of trees ind herbage. Its pathetic little villages glitter brightly for a. little ? their windows and white walls almost like so many heliographs?before the quickly advancing shadows )f the peaks of far-off islands curiam them. But it is only for a few minutes hat the peninsula lies so beautifully dear against the piled-up dark background of the mountains of Asia Minor, heights toned down to dark ?ray by the haze of distance and of lattle. In -between the brightness of he peninsula landscape and the dullless of the classic mountains which saw Troy's warfare, i? threaded the 'amous waterway, the Dardanelles, low in sight, a ribbon of deepest )lue, now hidden behind those ridges >f doom and victory. Such is the landscape in the parti:ular region of our world-war. Bui ine scarcely notices its evening beauy or takes any interest in its fea:ures as a landscape. There is a leet and an army in the picture. The might lig-ht before the sunset is utilzed to pick out the positions and noves in a fierce struggle against the iesperate remnant of a fated em lire. Right round the most sou?hjrn pa^rt of the peninsula, up the straits, and down the Asiatic coast, warships are spurting forth fire and smoke, battering thunderously away it the land with great and deadly shells. The landscape is disfigured ivith huge pillars of dust and fumes ?the tremendous devastation caus?d where the shells strike. High overhead aeroplanes skim noisily; a baby dirigible, directing 'he warships' fire, makes a splash of ?old against the light blue of the sunny sky. On the sea submarines leave a thin thread- of white: torpedo boats dash along in all directions?how they must enjoy "the game!"?at high speed. Transports, ships of hope, and hospital ships, with their load of suffering, come and go. At times the blue of the ocean is disturbed by tall, white pillars: these mark the spot where the enemy's shells fall into the sea. Answering guns flare and smoke. Beyond the sea the land battlearea is strangely fascinating. Tiny clouds, born in a flash of orange light are sprinkled about in the upper air: from them the deadly shrapnel has rained fiercely down. Faint tracks, which are roads, are to be seen and occasionally a cloud of dust can be observed moving along one of them. That denotes the flight or the advance of artillery. A battleship notices the movement, and. if the guns belong to the enemy it pits death from miles away into that dust cloud: Within a minute of time column after column of whitish smoke, dirtoortli cnrirp-c 11 it rniind thp iru " iiu ttu '.ii Mr * - spot.

IT IS DELK BAMBEI few minutes the thick smoke-clouds obscure everything; under them a tragedy is quickly played out; one can imagine the wreckage and death, horror lying hidden there. Then the smoke clears away. There is no sign of movement; the enemy has one mobile battery the less. Yonder lies a thin, scarcely discernible white line; it is where the infant:}* lies entrenched, battling hard, the assisting shell screaming loudly overhead. The faint rattle of their musketry and their maximguns* is just heard across the waters. Such is the impression to be obtained from the Imbros heights of the stUDDorn wanare uu mc p^uiusula where the men of four continents are deciding the fate of an empire. Day after day the struggle goes on with varying vigor; the darkness is luridly illuminated by the searchlights' great white fingers and by the flaming of scores of guns. Sbmetimes whole valleys become like rivers of fire, so fierce is the land cannonade. The air of the huge | night trembles and the very earth at times seems to shake the reel. But it is when one directs one's gaze farther south, to the mountainous region lying beyond the entrance to the Dardanelles, that the struggle takes on an added interest and a peculiar fascination. For that part of the great battle-racked region is perhaps the most interesting classic gound in the world. It is strange, indeed, to watch what is being donej at that particular spot, to look Out across. Tremendous blue towards the very hill Which once was Troy's. and to think that, where Hector and Achilles fought, what extraordinarily different warfare is now befng waged. One afternoon, as I watched, looking at the rugged headlands not fai from Yeni Chehir, the Sigeum of those dim days of a romantic past, I could see the ground arouna uie s^ui where tradition has it?and in these days of such -grim reality how believable tradition is!?the dust o* Achilles lies being churned up by the guns of a warship bearing the name of that fighter's ally?Agamemnon! The ship was standing off Erenkeui1' Bay, hammering away at those very' rocks which heard the tumult of the: warfare waged by Hector and Achilles. and upon which the fair Helen lool*ed down. There right in front' of its blazing guns and darkened bv! theig smoke is the low coastline nearj which once in that epic age rode the i thousand proud ships of Greece bringing Agamemnon himself. Beyond the Yeni Shehir ridge, where village and tomb have their sites, and within view of our sailors on their ships, lies the famous Plain of Troy. Through it flows the Scamander river of old, in present days ' j?** urv fjo-kt aatxtc me .uenaeres. wu mc 115m the Simois river, its branches circling lazily round Hissarlik * Hill, where stand Troy's ruins, city piled on city. In those classic times the Simois joined its waters with those of the Scamander, but like the Nile, time has seen it change its channel, and now it rolls separately and slowly into Erengeui Bay's wide stretch of waters. Often the Turks race their mobile batteries down the road running by the Menderes river, and. under cover; of dark or mist, endeavor to get within range of the ships near the eu-j trance to the straits. But the ships} are keen and "many eved." and soon' Troy's plain is pillared with shellhursts. taller and more fantastic forrrs than ever her bold builders reared or dreamed of.
