We see no use of having town o*rdi/ * nances if they are not to be enforced. The ordinance or rule against deV positing trash and garbage on the streets is being violated every day, and there seems to be no attempt | made to carry out its provisions. It might as well be repealed if it is not j|;; to be enforced. Some months ago city council anf-' nounced that the ordinance requiring . ' gates not to open on the sidewalks would be enforced. The people generally have paid no attention to the order and number of gates all over town still swing outward over the ^ . sidewalks. Why don't council en; force the law? Why have laws if ?? they are to be openly and flagrantly If violated ? The Supervisor's office of this . county is now costing the taxpayers | $1,320 a year, divided as follows: Supervisor, $800; two county comv % missioners, $110 each; clerk of board $300. Does it not seem reasonable y that if the commissioners were done Bp; away with that we would be better $7 off financially ? The pittance of $110 tgr a year only pays a man for attendgK ing board meetings. It is not fair to H?' expect a man to give a large part of |gp his time to county affairs for the te small salary attached to the office. We trust our legislative delegation will raise the salaries of the two PV county commissioners, so that they may give some time and attention to fe- the roads and bridges. To be frank, we see no earthly use for the comnussioners, as the Supervisor is paid fcj a salary of $800 a year, and he is supposed to give his entire time and III" attention /to affairs of the county. mh - Therefore, there is no reason to hire two commissioners to do work which |!>: the Supervisor is paid to do. But, p?V if we are to keep the commissioners, pi they should be paid higher salaries. |> They are now paid $110 a year -each, ||y- and all of us know that a man whose i:/ time is worth anything cannot afford to ride around and look after roads and other.county affairs very much gfe on this salary. 0/- Commencing with the first of this year, The Herald proposes to get on a business basis in one respect at |p least. For years we have published ^ -notices of church entertainments - and the likd free, but we don't proJ pose to do so any more. Our space jp1; is what we get our living out of, and &> _ there is no reason why we should S donate it for church or other puri* 'poses. It is not fair to expect the newspaper man to donate a great ir deal more to such causes than anypv body else. Of course a lot of people say that space doesn't cost anything, but it does. So this is fair notice to every one that in all such matters, E8 " where there is any money to be made, We must be paid for our advertising. This is only fair and just, and we will adhere strictly to the & rule. ^ ,v? Opera House Attractions. Col. Jno. F. Folk, manager of the Bamberg opera house, has, after considerable trouble and expense, arranged for two first-class attractions to appear here during this month. The first is the Joshua Simpkins Co., which will come for one night only, Wednesday, January 23rd, and the Chas. B. King Dramatic Co. will play a return engagement here on Friday and Saturday nights, January 25th and 26th. They will present ''East Lynne" on Friday night and "The Count of Monte Cristo" on Saturday night. Seats will be on sale at the Armstrong-Johnson-Brabham Co. These ottroflfiAnc and tVienr aiC gwu wixvi v*ivj should play to crowded houses. _ Bishop Duncan 111. Bishop W. W. Duncan, of the Southern Methodist church, is seriously ill at his home in Spartanburg.' His health has been bad for some time. The chances for his recovery are not good. Builds up waste tissue, promotes appetite, improves digestion, in duces refreshing sleep, gives renewed strength and health. That's what Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea does. 35 cents, Tea or Tablets.

On Friday the * sales were $250; on Saturday $562, and on Monday $874.00. We have little doubt F but this is more than any business house 1 in town sold for cash'on any of the three days mentioned. c Major J.

If t the exercise is at all hard the food will \ remain undigested for hours. It Is best not to allow a dog to play even directly r after he has swallowed his dinner. In a a little time he can do so, but do not encourage him to romp about. 1 ^ Got Him Mixed.
