A PLAIN STATEMENT.
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.

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

PROHIBITIONISTS WILL FIGHT.
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

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.

the King's Mountain, N. C., school,

The board of trustees of the University
of South Carolina at a recent
meeting rescinded the resolution
adopted two years ago forbidding the
students to engage in intercollegiate

be permitted to engage in intercollegiate
football games just as in
years gone by.
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. The ear, a "Boone

but in time will ruin him.

GOLD FOUND IN GREENVILLE.
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.
The deposits extend over 270 acres,
