Boys will be boys and some men

Perhaps a sausage factory would
be the solution of what to do with
stray do^s.
It’s a jfood tiling that the bobbc<}r
hair damsels are not dependent upon
their tresses as was Sampson of old.
Many people are sneeringly referred
to as “rubber stamps” for a more
dominating personality. But even
a rubber stamp makes an impression.
Mow times have changed. Delilah
bobbed Sampson’s hair in order that
be might lie taken into captivity.
The modern girl bobs her own hair in
order that her Sampson may be taken
rn matrimony. •

we (and in this instance we are not
using the editorial “we”) could get
all they promise us, this section would

And now we are forced to view the
shameful-spectacle of United States
Senator Norris, of Nebraska, vehem
ently denying that he kissed a pretty
Southern girl on the occasion of a
visit to Muscle Shoalls, declaring
that the p. S. g. Kissed him! A man
wno would make such a denial and
counter allegation isn’t (it to repres
ent the great commonwealth of
Nebraska, which abounds in great
open spaces and nature’s noblemen,
if we are to believe the writers of
Western -drama.
In calling upon the K. K. K. to clean
up certain immoral conditions in and
around Raleigh, N. vt, a preacher
made the following statement: “1
do not know anything about the K.
K. K., and, therefore, 1 can talk about
it.” A strange attitude forsooth, but
perhaps that explains why so . many
people think that they can publish a
newspaper better than the man who
has made it his life-work—knowing
nothing about the newspaper game,
they feel qualified to run a newspaper.

the good citizens with them in their
efforts to curb bootlegging in the
town and community.
After Bamberg has been cleaned up
-up, it is planned to extend the move
ment so as to include the whode coun
ty-
The People congratulates the good
people of Bamberg on the stand which
they have taken. They are going to
put forth their best efforts to rid thcr
town of blind-tiger whiskey, whicn
‘they feel is at the bottom of a majori
ty of the crimes that are committed.
But Bamberg is rotralohe in having
this problem to face—mere are hun
dreds of other towns in South Caroli
na who-e citizens hang their heads,
in shame because of existing condi
tions.
In the platform of the Democratic
party adopted at Columbia last week
was the folowing:
"The disregard for law is alarming.
We demand by all officers' of the gov
ernment the strict enforcement of all
laws, including the Volstead act, and
oppose any fundamental amendment
to the Volstead act, as well as a
strict observance - t all laws upon the
part of the people themselves. The
enforcement of law is [n a large
measure a matter cf public conscience
and the duty of the citizens in this
respect is no less than the duty of
the officers of the law.”
We regard that as the most impor
tant plank in the platform. Law en
forcement officers are to be selected
E>
in Barnwell and other counties of the
State this year and that plank is, or
should be, binding upon each and
every one of them, from the highest
to the lowest and if the men selected
prove derelict in their duty they
should be forced by indignant peo
ple to resign their ottices torthwith.
To guard against this, however, a
careful selection shou.d be made in
the beginning. It might be a good
idea for the voters to question the
different candidates as to their at
titude on this impuiiant question and
LL any try to evade the issue, reject
them in the coming primaries.
In an open forum conducted in
Pittsburgh, Pa., a short time ago and
broadcast to radio listeners, a mother
asked the question whether or not
education could accomplish what law
has apparently failefi to accomplish.
The answer was that neither can suc
ceed without the other. Let us in
still into the minds of the younger
generation a proper regard and re
spect for the law through education,
hut at the same time we must curb
the activities of law violators by a
stringent enforcement of the laws, or
our educational effoits along this line
will gol for naught.
In the meantime, the campaign in
Bamberg will be watched with inter

Bamberg and Bootleggers.
As the result of the killing of an
innocent hoy by an alleged drunken
negro a few days ago, indignant citi
zens of Bamberg have inaugurated r.
campaign against the bootleggers and
other violators of the law in that
city. The pastor of the Bamberg
Methodist Church preached a stirring
sermon on the morning following the
homicide. Committees from the Bap
tist, Methodist and Presbyterian
churches were appointed to cooperate
with the officers in the enforcement
of the law. This committee met the
next day, says a dispatch to the daily
papers of this State, and discussed
among themselves the problems of
the town, and later asked for -P con
ference with the city council, the police
department and the sheriff, which was
held. At this meeting the town’s af
fairs were aired considerably, and
tnded with the appointment of ,^.,a
committee of seven ■ representative
citizens of Bamberg to cooperate.with
the sheriff-in putting an end to some
resorts alleged to he known as law
breakers. As a consequence of the
naming of thi'* eopimittee, in.eompany
with Sheriff H :1 y. several establish
ments of alleged disreputable notor
iety were visited and given some sage
advice, the exact nature of which was
not disclosed, hut :r the temper of
the conference was carried out they
were notified to either reform or shut
up and leave town. It is said that
there has been a noticeable change of
front in some of these places since
that time.
The conference with the authorities
was not in the nature of any criticism
of the acts of the officers. The com*,
mittee seemed to feel that the best
officers in the world could not en
force the liquor law unless they have
the moral as well as the physical
backing of the people they serve, and
it was to offer this assistance and
cooperation that the meeting was
held. It is felt that there is now a
much better understanding all round
and that the officers will know th^t
ithey have at least a large number of

Cramping Spells
F OR MORE THAN a YEAR I had been in a
very bad condition,” says Mrs. R. E. Kimbrtll,
of Route 1, Dorchester, Texas. *1 suffered
with cramping spells which gave me bad pains in
my back and sides. Sometimes I would have to
catch at something, I «would get so suddenly dizzy.
... I had to quit doing my work. I tried many reme
dies, but none of them seemed to do me any good, i
*Tn April I went up to Aifcansas to visit my siater. . . .
Bbe said to me, ‘Willie, if you aro going to take anything,
take Cardui. It will really help you.’—J came home and told
my doctor what she had said and he said I could not take any
better tonic, so my husband immediately got me a bottle and
1 began it, ... My case was a pretty tough one, I know, so
1 kept on faithfully. After the fourth bottle, I began to feel
very much better, so much so that I was surprised at myself.
I have taken six bottles now and 1 can truly say I feel like a
different woman. ... I feel fine and I owo it all to Cardui,
which I took faithfully.”
