C. ? ______ Entered as second-class matter April 1891, under Act of March 3, 1879. $2.00 PER YEAR. Volume XXXI. Number 34. Thursday, Nov. 2,1922. We have little doubt but that our county and city officers will be Especially vigilant during fair week, and the blind tiger' and boot-legger will not be permitted to ply his trade unmolested and unafraid. This is im* portant and timely, for it is liquor which causes trouble at such public gatherings. Arrangements for the Bamberg county fair are coming along nicely, and with the co-operation of all a successful affhir is assured. We are not advised as to what amusments wil be provided, but we trust they will be clean. Let us not have a carI nival company with unclean/shows and gambling games. Bamberg has had too many of this hind in the past. The Democrat's duty is as much to ? vote next Tuesday as it was to vote in the primary elections. The Herald repeatedly urged the Democrats to register, and we now urge them to go to the polls and vote. The Republicans are going to cast every vote possible Tuesday. If every Democrat in the state would vote next Tuesday, the Republican vote would be so infinitesimally small that there would be no encouragement for Republican candidates. What does Bamberg need most? No ^oubt there are a number of our citizens who have their ideas on this subject, and we would be delighted if they would give our readers the benefit of them. Write us a letter toiling no what vnn think Bamberg. town and county, needs most just # now, and in this instance we will suspend a standing rule of this newspaper. We will not publish your name in case you do not want us to do so. Let us have some ideas on the subject. " An interesting question is just now occupying the public mind in South Carolina, and it is whether the circuit and supreme court judges are to enforce the law or the chief executive. In our humble opinion, enforcement of the laws of the state rests with the executive department solely, this power being conferred by the constitution. However, we may be wrong, as we are not a lawyer; and just here we will remark that the state would be a blamed sight better off if there were not so many lawyers in the general assembly. The general election will be held next Tuesday, and it is the duty of every Democrat to go to the polls and vote. True there is no Republican candidate for congress in the second district, but congress has been considering a reapportionment of the representatives in congress, based on the votes cast in a general election, and this makes the matter of a full vote next Tuesday an important matter. The Herald hopes to see practically the same vote cast next Tues- J day as there was in the Democratic primary. Do not neglect this grave duty. ^ We have seen very little discussion in the press of the state as to the idea of paying taxes on the installment plan, but we have been advised that the city of Charleston has follow+V>ic nlon frtT rooro TV fho nlan io IULIO piU IVi J VyMri JL A. ^*UU J.O good for the cities, why not for the state and the smaller towns?

Brabh ers on the subject. The views of our rural population would be interesting, for, in our opinion, they are the ones most vitally interested and who 'would enjoy the greatest benefits from such a system in this time of I general depression and scarcity of money. In endeavoring to reform and bring up-to-date,our antiquated tax system, the general assembly would do well to give serious consideration to the idea of the installment plan of collecting taxes. Says the Bamberg Herald: "The Columbia State, under the heading, "Our Home Geography,' with the headnote, 'More of those little-known South Carolina place names,' included 'Lemon (Bamberg).' Our friend fails to do us justice.' There is no such place, or location in Bamberg county known as 'Lemon.' Perhaps the State refers to that magnificent lowland designated unofficially, if not officially, as 'Lemon Swamp.' But we won't stand for it being dubbed Lemon. It is a swamp and we want the State to know it is just as fine a swamp as swamps grow, and moreover, it is Lemon Swamp, with a capital S." The esteemed and spiightly Herald will find that the Rand, McNally Guide to South Carolina charges?or credits?Lemon to Bamberg county ?mail vja Bamberg. And, if we were a' snapper-up of unconsidered trifles, we might add that in Richland county is no newspaper yclept the Columbia State!? The State. Oh! Now we see. The State refers to that supurb station oiythe B. E. & W. railroad, and since the State pins its faith to Rand, McNally, perhaps, it is not wholly blamable. The venerable BeVry Benson, whose image adorns the confedrate monument in Augusta, once corrected Webster's dictionary, and was suitably rewarded therefor, and w*hile we are not exnontine ariv reward suitable Or Other ? , l wise, it now becomes our painful but necessary duty to correct the above mentioned Rand, ^fcNally. The station indicated in the Rand, McNallv map as "Lemon" should be Lemon Spur, and the archives of the railroad will so show. And, parenthetically, we might add Lemon Spur is just as fine a spur as Lemon Swamp is a swamp. And?we accept the rebuke of the last paragraph of the esteemed State. Carry On. When Private Hanrahan went into the army he picked the ammunition train as a man's job of the sort he had been accustomed to on his road construction gang. His ideas changed slightly when the sergeant ordered him and the rest of a squad of rookies to toss big shells into an anto truck to be taken to the front. Hanrahan walked around the shells, regarding them intently, but evincing no inclination to manhandle them. The sergeant, noticing his hesitancy, bellowed: "Wottsamatter? Scared of 'em?" "Scared of them nothin'," retored Hanrahan contemptuously, "but sarge, I enlisted for the duration of the yar and I want to stick around until she's through duratin'. An' besides, tomorrow's pay day." I Knows His Capacity. A Scotsman had been invited to a dinner party and later -in the evening was discovered by the hostess in a room all by himself and looking the picture of misery. On being asked what troubled him, he turned to theliostess and remarked solemnly, "Do ye realize wumman that I've lost 30 shillings at cards wisome o' yer veesitors?" "Indeed, I am sorry to hear that, Mr. McGregor, but the loss is not j ' deadly. Come into the buffet and have ] a drink. And we have some fine cold | ham there." "Na, na," said McGregor, despair- ' ingly. "I canna eat 30 shillin's worth; o' cauld ham!"

Grandma Emma McMahon, a centenarian of Kansas City, Kan., on Monday declared she "never was so put out in her life," as she has been at recent reports that Sims Tewks Berry, 80, had left her "waiting at the church," so to speak. There was only a mock marriage, Grandma said, and the suggestion for a repetition of the - ceremony when reporters were in attendance, but Mr. Berry was not, in her belief, was to have been a mock wedding also. The venerable couple were photographed on the first occasion at the home of one of Grandma's daughters last Tuesday night, with Mr. Berry depicted as placing a ring upon Grandma's finger. Mr. Berry today was "not in" to callers except those who catne on business. Hitch a good pair of hogs to your farming operations and watch them "pull the farm." They'll carry a load, too.

"Cyrus Rasp ran a grocery store down on the corner for about twentysix years," related old Riley Rezzidew of Petunia, "and as he done so utilized about half of his time in denouncing the public for a lot of thieving hypocrites, who prayed loudly with one hand on the Sabbath and beat him- out of his just dues with the other on week days, figgeratively speaking, of course. Said he ort to know, if anybody did, that 65 per cent o^all humanity was intentionally dishonest. "Well, then a feller came along and gave him about twice what it was worth for his store. And ever since he has been declaring that 90%, of the retailers are and always have been thieves and robbers, and men tioning- that he ort to know if anybody does. And as far as I can make out, he's pre\ty nearly right on both propositions."?Kansas City Star.
