The Bamberg Herald is a cash paper, and all subscriptions are payable cash in advance. We do not follow thp mlp of discontinuing1 sub r<jp%; n w scriptions as soon as they expire, for 'v we have many good men on our list who we know will pay as soon as they . have opportunity, and as they don't want to miss a single copy of the paper, why we send it on unless we are notified to stop. - However, in many cases we stop a paper when the time H is paid for expires. But we write this to impress upon every subscriber on our list who does not seem to realize it, that cash in advance is our rule. About seventy-five per cent, of our subscribers understand this, ' and at least that proportion or more in ar?vanr??? Rllt. SOTT1P Jb*V OU iVWJ AAA MVft ? VMAVW* * ? [$ : 1 few don't seem to understand it and get mad when we notify them that their time is out, say that they will pay at the end of the year, etc. Well, there is no good business reason why we should wait a whole year for our money, and besides* we could not afford to carry a large number * of accounts 'that long. So we will enforce the rule of cash in advance, and these who don't want to do busmess our way are respectfully informed that there is nothing compulsory about it. You don't have to take <he paper if you don't want to. We don't force it on anybody. We want * all the subscribers we can get, but we will not send the paper on long eredit. The Herald is worth $1.00 a year, and we don't have to" beg anybody to subscribe. Some who are behind need not be surprised if the paper stops coming to them pretty soon. ESCAPES WIFE'S FUSILLADE. Woman Hit Fverything in the Room . Except Her Husband. East Liverpool, Ohio, Oct. 30? Bert Brady, a wealthy business man of this city, owes his life to the fact that his wife is a poor markswoman. This morning she fired all the chambers of a 38-caliber revolver at him, reloaded it twice, and repeated the attempt. She got a double-barreled shotgun and fired it until her supply of cartridges was exhausted. She hit everything in the room except her husband. Brady escaped to the barn in his pajamas, and for two hours after that every time he stuck his head out of the door his wife blazed away, with the shotgun. Finally a policeman arrived and Mrs. Brady was ar' rested. Mrs. Brady suspected her husband' |of paying attentions to another woman. She watched him last night and saw him, it is said, take the woman buggy riding. gg, - GIRL FOUGHT ASSAILANT. Wrested Knife and Pistol From Man and in Meantime Aid Arrived. Hagerstown, Md., Oct. 30.?

McPherson conducted his own case. He tried to prove an alibi, but failed. Miss Rice positively identified McPherson as her assailant. She testified that as she was walking home after calling on a friend McPherson accosted her and then tripped her up. She fell to the ground, and he drew a pistol which she grabbed from him and put into her pocket. Then he drew a knife, she said, and threatened to kill her. She told him ?he was no coward and did not care if hd did kill her. She wrested the knife from his hand, threw it across the street. Her screams for help - brought a pedestrian to the scene, and as he approached McPherson tied. Wisconsin has a law to prevent secret marriages.

Political Observers Believe That Washington Will be a Dry Town. Washington, D. C., October 30.? It is the judgment of the best posted political observers that the national capitol will be as "dry" as a bone within two years. The wave of prohibition sentiment which has swept many states during the past two or three years has ? Jnrr+nn an rl ifc nnw npr- I i ea.i;ncu uaoiuiigbvn uim fectly' evident that a tremendous effort is to be made at the approach-, ing session of congress to put a stop" to the manufacture and sale of intoxicating beverages in the District of Columbia. The foes of the drink traffic from all parts of the country already are aligning their forces for a descent upon Washington with the avowed intention of forcing the hand of congress on the question of prohibition in this capital. The onslaught is regarded with varying emotions by both residents of the city and members of congress. Those who personally are opposed to the making of Washington an alcoholic Sahara? particularly those who are members of congress?are at a loss to know how to meet the attack that js to be those who favor the movement are enthusiastic over the prospective campaign and declare they will win without really serious effort. The entering wedge was driven by the anti-saloon league several years ago, when largely through its influence, congress passed the anti-canteen law. This was followed by the enactment of a provision prohibiting the sale of liquors within the capitoh The enactment of both of those laws was accomplished with comparative ease. Scores of members of both house and senate voted in favor of them, not because they really favored them, but because they were afraid to vote against them. This moral cowardice is being depended upon by the anti-saloon league, the Woman's Christian Temperance Un-i ion and other similar organizations to carry through congress the legislation providing for prohibition in the city of Washington, The first gun of the anti-saloon campaign is to be fired by Representative Craig, of Alabama, who, early in the approaching session, will introduce a bill prohibiting absolutely the sale of alcoholic drinks in the District of Columbia. Such a meas 1"-1 ? 11 Urt r?/^TTrtrtofo/l V\T7 fVlO lire, wmie it win uc auvw?M.u uj vuv anti-liquor lobby, is ?iOt precisely what the leaders of prohibition movement regard as the best plan. They fear the Craig measure or many similar bills might be side-tracked, if allowed to stand alone. They argue that its not perfectly certain that such a bill could be passed through both branches <rf congress, and that even if it should be passed, there is a probability the president might veto it. They regard him as a good temperance man, but not a prohibitionist and he might not approve of the effort to make the American capital unique among the capitals of- the world in that peculiar respect. Their real scheme therefore is to tack the prohibition measure to one of the big appropriation bills as a rider &nd take their chances on a point of order being made against it on the ground that it is "new legis lation." In sfch circumstances tney believe the president would sign the bill. Curiously enough, the anti-saloon measure is likely, in the present congress, to receive a more liberal support from the Democrats than the anti-canteen proposition received, largely because of the great wave of prohibition sentiment that has swept over the South. A few members of congress, too, might be induced to vote for prohibition in the District, of Columbia because of their willingness to have a test of the plan in a territory in which they have only an academic interest. A big anti-saloon prohibition lobby will be in Washington throughout the session of congress and no peace will be given the members until some action is taken. Prof. C. F. Fellows, principal of the King's Mountain, N. C., school, has resigned, giving as his reason his inability to control some of the "?

Two hundred and fifty dollars was the world's record price paid last Friday night for a single ear of corn. A bushel at that rate would have sold for $15,000.

Expert Locates Seven Rich Veins on Farm Near Fountain Inn. Greenville, Oct. 31?Seven rich veins of gold have been discovered on a farm about one mile from Fountain Inn, in this county, and abou eighteen miles from this city. The announcement was made today by Dr. George F. Lee, a geological expert and mineralogist, who spent three days in examining the metal. The veins are thought to be about sixty feet deep and the mine will be the richest in the State, and probably in the South. Zircom, monazite, kaolin and rutine were also found on the property.
