Thursday, Oct. 3, 1907 Bamberg's business men cannot expect to lie quiet and get other people to build a railroad for them. "The gods help those who help themselves." The Orangeburg Evening News has been enlarged to a six column paper. We are glad to note this prosperity on the part of the News, and trust it will continue to grow i . and prosper. The News is now three |??. years old. The agent of the Southern Rail^ way at Orangeburg, Mr. W. G. Sease, tj has resigned because the officials declined to furnish him with sufficient and competent help. Bamberg suffers from this same cause, as the superintendent will not give our agent the proper force to handle the business at this point. The policy of the Southern in this respect needs to be changed and that speedily. f Richard Carroll in his paper, the Ploughman, printed the following paragraph. It is a question the decent white people of the South ought to think about and if possible devise a remedy: "How do you account for so many mulattoes, hybrids, colored people?and almost white people ?throughout the South? # And, strange to say, they are related to c<\?r?o nf th?* host white neonle in the southland, we mean the blue bloods of the South. Most of these beautig, ful colored folk? have 'black mamAt a meeting of the Southern division of the Associated Press in Washington last week, Maj J. C. Hemphill, editor of the Charleston News and Courier, was unanimously endorsed for United States Senator from South Carolina. The supporters of the Major have cause to feel encouraged. The North and East has been practically solid in his favor for some time, and now the tidal wave of enthusiasm is sweeping the South, and, shall we say, carrying everything before it. 'Tis time for the >. Piedmont candidates to sit up and take notice. ?? The Bamberg Herald keeps urging that Bamberg will never amount to what it should with only one railroad, etc. Don't give up Brother Knight; Saluda has been growing all the time with no railroad.?Saluda Standard. Bamberg has been growing right along, too, but we need another raiirm .-11 ... -F^r.4-^ road, men we wm givw k?^ohu develop our resources to an extent which is impossible with only one line. Saluda people realize the need of a railroad, even if the town has been growing without one, and we note that work has already begun on * the line from Greenwood to Saluda. Bamberg is going to build another railroad, too. Then you'll see the town hus|tle. I .> .. . -.rvurzr ; . v ONE E i leaves begin to tu e to make fall pure C.

The afternoon services held by the Home Mission Society last week were entirely successful, both from a point of interest shown, and also from a financial standpoint, the gifts to the Vashti Home amounting to $13.60. Following is the program in full: WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. Scripture reading, James 1-13:27. Hymn?The morning light is breaking. Subject?Vashti Home. Remarks by the president, Mrs. E. 0. Kirsch.

We believe it is only just to give proper credit of these admirably planned programs to the president of this auxiliary, Mrs. E. 0. Kirsch. to whose untiring efforts, the successful execution of these programs is due. As a fitting close to these interesting services, Rev. Peter Stokes delivered a very fine sermon Sunday morning bearing on this work, having as his subject, "The church of Philipi." In the course of his remarks, Mr. Stokes paid most beautiful tributes to the women of the church and their efforts in mission work. This stirring sermon with the soulinspiring hymns, "Watchman tell us of the night," "Fling out the Banner," and "Onward Christian Solf>nnM not fail to awaken en thusiasm in the heart of the least interested; as was attested by the very liberal contribution.
