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

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.
