Thursday, May 9, 1907 Every married man ought to own a home, and we want to urge our young married people especially to have homes of their own. There is no reason why every man cannot own at least a modest cottage. Buy a lot and build. Our building and loan association will lend you the money, and you can pay for your home instead of paying rent. , The Lexington Dispatch and the Bamberg Herald are among the recent converts to prohibition. These estimable journals are now advocating the voting out of the dispensary *? ^ ? /lArmtino in intir respective wuuuw>> N Advertiser extends the "right-hand of fellowship" to these brethren. ?Edgefield Advertiser. Brother Mims has not read The Bamberg Herald very closely since its present editor has been in charge or he would not put us down as a "recent convert." We favored the dispensary as against the old barroom system. When the State system became so notorious, we favored county control, but our efforts were always directed toward restricting the traffic as much as possible. We have never in our life voted for the sale of liquor in any form, but, even if we did vote for prohibition in 1892, we supported the dispensary when it was forced on us. Our idea has always been to ? 4 improve on existing conditions and we have persistently labored to that end. BAMBERG COUNTY'S RECORD. We do not want to take any hand in the new county fight which is on in Orangeburg, but we must protest against the methods of Orangeburg t--: newspapers. St. Matthews wants to be cut off into a county with that 41 . town as the county seat, and the people of the city of Orangeburg are - fighting the scheme. In their desperation to make a point against new ' A * xJ ?nwn Annfin. i counties tne ncwspapcio axo m/uuuually "knocking" Bamberg. Their methods are shrewd, they only publish a part of the record. For in\ stance, they compare Bamberg's tax levy with Orangeburg's for the past four years. To be fair they should make the comparison for every year since Bamberg county was created. We have often made the statement that Bamberg was in the best financial condition of any county in the x state, and it is true. We have made many permanent improvements; many miles of fine roads have been built; no county has better schools or longer terms, and we pay our county officials more in proportion to population and wealth than Orangeburg. i When Bamberg county was created the tax levy was fixed at three mills without any "specials," as Orange ' Ti i J -A burg seems to nave, it remamea m this figure until a few years ago, . when, as we had gotten in debt, the levy was increased. Now we are out of debt and the levy has gone back to three mills. 6ut our Orangeburg contemporaries will only take the years since the levy was raised for comparison. Let them go back to the time the county was formed and compare the tax levy with Orangeburg. Will they do this and pub,! lish it as a matter of justice. Bamberg is perfectly willing to compare records with Orangeburg. We have a large surplus in the county treasury now, and we can run next year and pay all county expenses without levying one cent of taxes. If an unprejudiced committee will examine Orangeburg's finances, her roads and schools, and rnmnare Bambercr's condition, if they don't say we are better off, we'll take it all back and apologize. We wonder how much surplus Orangeburg has in her treasury? "Quit "knocking" Bamberg, friends, We have nothing to do with youi family fight, but you must quil striking St. Matthews over oui shoulder. We make the statemenl plainly that Bamberg county is better off than Orangeburg, arc ample proof of this can be had if on< will only take the time to go full} into the matter. -:v . C ' Strange how men will differ. Note the two articles from Marion county which we publish in another column. One says the people of that county ! want the dispensary back; the other | says not. As an election will no doubt be ordered, possibly that will decide who is right. The town council which went out of office Tuesday did a lot of work in the last two years. They are to be congratulated on the record made. Mayor Dickinson has put the fines on evil-doers, knowing neither friend nor foe in the discharge of his duty, and all in all, a most gratifying measure of success is the sum total. If the new council shall do as much for the progress of the town, they will do well. J. Christian HcMIllan. At the recent memorial exercises of the Rivers' Bridge Memorial Association, the following in reference to Capt. J. C. McMillan, lately deceased, was adopted. The committee, viz: W. E. Sease, J. A. Peters, Sr, and E. W. Peeples, whom you appointed to report on the death of Comrade Chris McMillan, beg leave to state that: Comrade Chris McMillan died at his residence January 26th, 1907. He had more than lived his three score years and ten, being born October 26th, 1831. A wise man has said, "Let no man be accounted happy until death." If such is the case, we can now draw our conclusions with respect to Chris McMillan, as, in our opinion, he has made life a grand success by bettering mankind and glorifying God. As a neighbor, he was unsurpassed. In the words of one of this commitee / J J \ (< ? (now aeceaseu,; n vuu nccucuacou potatoes and went to Chris McMillan, you got them; if you wanted to borrow anything he had, you got it. It seemed to be a great pleasure to him to do a favor in any shape or form he could," and thus he answered the question, "Who is my neighbor?" His manner was reserved and he was careful in using expressions calculated to hurt any one's feelings, hence his number of friends. The writer remembers hearing him say many years ago, "Before I will use a harsh expression I will walk away." He knew how to think twice before he spoke once and he practiced it. He was a lifelong Mason, served four years in the Confederate army in the 3rd South Carolina cavalry; county commissioner four years; jury commissioner for a number of years, and in 1890 represented Barnwell county in the legislature?all of which offices he filled most satisfactorily. The plaudit for him was: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." He was by nature and education religious, having sprung from a timehonored and influential family. He was a member of the Springtown Baptist church from boyhood; moved to St. John's Baptist church in 1884, and was elected to fill the place of deacon in that church where his membership has been ever since. He was alive to every interest of the church, tTro-^irvno noncos flic JLJ cil tiV/UlCU IJ LU tiiv^ f axivuo vuuvw ***w church supported, and always contributed freely to their support. St. John's church will miss him in many ways; the neighborhood will miss him; the beloved sons and daughters will miss him. But he is not dead, he sleepeth, and still lives in the hearts of his fellow-countrymen, particularly in the hearts of the living comrades of the Rivers' Bridge Memorial Association. Now, sirs, since the statements above are facts, and since Chris McMillan was one of us here and particularly interested in this organization, of which at one time he was the head, be it N Resolved, 1st, That a page of our minutes be dedicated to the perpetuation of his memory in the hearts, minds and affections of the sons and daughters of the Confederacy. Resolved, 2d. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family, to let them know their trouble is our affliction, and that we request the editors of the Barnwell and Bamberg papers to publish them for the benefit of the rising generation. Resolved, 3d. That each member of this Association wear a badge of 1 mourning, in his heart, at least if not upon his arm, for the period of , thirty days for Chris McMillan, our beloved member.
