City council never did a better
. thing than when they passed the ordinance
forbidding the keeping of
hogs in the city limits. Now let them
require dogs to be muzzled or kept
off the streets and we'll be satisfied
* for awhile.
P':
The city of Orangeburg is taking
action against dogs running at large
on the streets. Several mad dogs
have been killed there recently and
a petition is being circulated among
the citizens asking that city council
pass an ordinance requiring all
" . < dogs which run at large to be muzzled.
When is Bamberg going to
take action on the dog question ?

A LITTLE BRAGGING, v
c'.&* . \ ^
^ ; V When The Herald gets straight ''
ened out in its new quarters we will
v have as fine a building for a news'
paper office as there is in the State,
and our equipment will be second to
iy none. Our linotype machine is the
latest model, and we have bought a
full equipment for doing all kinds
fx.' of book work, etc. Our extra supplies
for tjie machine cost several
hundred dollars. The machine is
operated by an individual motor, and
- . our two job presses also have indif:;
ridual motors. In fact every machine
in the house which requires
; power will be operated by a motor
attached.
V We now have tlyee motors, and
in a short tima we will install a
S&7 motor for the cylinder press on
;V which The Herald is printed. We
have had some trouble to get this
\ motor built, but we have about con^eluded
the deal. At present we are
printing the newspaper in our old
building, in order that we may use
xv mir e-asoline enerine to drive the
s press. Our friends are cordially invited'to
come in any night and see
' our new machines at work. We are
- ^not quite straight, but they will be
welcome. /
In a short time we will make The
rr. Herald eight pages permanently, aDd
/ if our advertisers will come across
- . with the proper patronage,# we will
print twice a week.' However, that
is a matter for the future, but we
have the equipment to get out a
daily if necessary.
^ fS*, Now, all this cost money, and we
want and need patronage. Our
equipment, to say nothing of the
building, is an investment of $ 10,000
, or more, and it is a fine advertise|p;
/ment for a town the size of Bamberg
(V* V to have such a newspaper office. You
|v ' * may rest assured that we will soon
<: get out a newspaper in keeping with
the equipment. Frankly, our patronage
up to date has not warranted the
outlay, but we take pride in our
. calling and wanted the best. Our
/ .v people should give us everything in
| the way of job work and advertising
||y .that they have done. We need it,
and no matter whether you like us
? ' personally or not it is a fact that
.this newspaper is advancing the best
interests of every merchant, business
':* < man, and property owner in Bamberg.
. So it is not only helping The Herald,
but you are helping yourself when
you give us your business. Bamberg
is a small county, and consequently
the field is limited, so it is good
business policy for all *our citizens
y- to support their newspaper. \Ve
might say that this is the smallest
town in the State where a linotype
has been installed and only a fev

machine of this kind. We shall

NINE CHILDREN BITTEN.
Something Like This May Soon Happen
in Bamberg.
Greenville, May 15.?Nine children
and a negro nurse were bitten
by a Collie puppy here yesterday,
and fearing that the animal was suffering
with rabbies, the attending
physician directed that the dog be
killed and the head sent to the Pasteur
Institute in Atlanta for a careful
examination.' The dog was undoubtedly
suffering* with some disease.
One of the physicians said
it might be acute indigestion. The
parents of the children are naturally
very much disturbed and the result
of the examination of the dog's head
is awaited anxiously. Several weeks
ago another child was bitten and as
a result of the examination the offending
dog was declared rabid.
The child was treated at the Pasteur
Institute and no ill effects have appeared.

LIQUOR FIGHT GOING ON.
Car mack a Candidate for Governor on
Prohibition Platform.
The following clipping from The
Union Signal, a temperance paper,
has been handed us by a friend with j
the request for its reproduction in
our columns. Many of our readers
are familiar with the brilliant record
of Mr. Car mack as congressman and
United States Senator from Tennessee.
He was defeated for re-election
as Senator by Ex-Governor
"Bob" Taylor, and he is now a candidate
for governor on a prohibition
platform:
The campaign for state prohibition
waxes warm in Tennessee. The contest
is between the rival candidates
for governor, ex-Senator Carmack
and Governor Patterson, and the issue
is between state prohibition and
local option. Inasmuch as the whole
state except four cities is now under
prohibitory law, it is evident that
the people have already expressed
their "option" in the ipatter. Governor
Patterson says, however, that
he stands for a local option law and
is opposed to "fanatical legislation."
His opponentsadd that he stands with
the saloon element, and that his record
as governor by no means fulfills
his ante-election promises in reform
matters. Mr. Carmack stands squarely
for state prohibition. In a recent
debate with the governor at Chattanooga,
he made a most stirring declaration
and appeal for state prohibition,
from which we quote:
The question of the open saloon is
one of the great problems in this
state as it has been in other states. I
am one of those who believe that the
saloon id an unmitigated curse to the
state, a great source of crime and
corruption, a Duraen upon ius industries,
a blight upon its homes. I
am one of those who have been convinced
by the failure of all regulative
and restraining legislation, that
some way or other, by some method
or other, the saloons must be destroyed.
I have heretofore adhered to the
plan pursued by the Anti-Saloon
League, which found expression in
the Pendleton law, whose practical
effect is to leave each community
to fight out its own battles with the
saloons, I will say to you frankly
that I had expected to adhere to that I
policy in this campaign. But the
wise general adapts his strategy and
his tactics to the movement of the
enemy. A short time ago the representatives
of the liquor interests,
not only in Tennessee, but from other
states, assembled in Nashville and issued
their manifesto, slanderously
assailing the character and motives
of the Anti-Saloon League. They
openly and defiantly proclaimed their
purpose to enter this campaign with
a view of controlling the politics of
the state in the interest of the saloon.
This means that the liquor power of
this whole country will make a battle
ground of Tennessee, and if we
adhere to the former plan it will give
them the vast advantage of concentrating
all their power of corruption
upon three or four points,
while the great body of temperance
voters in the state will be idle and
impotent spectators of the conflict.
My countrymen,; when we see the
liquor power of this, whole country
marshaling its battalions for an invasion
of this , state, I believe we
should summon to our standard every j
enemy of the saloon from the moun-,
tains to the Mississippi, meet the,
enemy at the border and end. this
war in one great pitched battle.
When that battle is over and the
victory won, let us write upon the
statute books a law, as long and as
broad as the state of Tennessee,
which will banish the liquor traffic
finally and forever from every inch
of our soil.
I know there are people in Chattanooga
who hope to reap a harvest of
profit from the fugitive and expatriated
saloons of other states, but
I say to you, my countrymen, that
no saloon ever added one dollar t&
the moral worth and prosperity of
any community. I say to you that
every dollar of capital invested in
the saloon is a dollar withdrawn
from productive enterprise and devoted
to purposes of moral and
economic destruction. I say to you
people of Hamilton county that the
curse of God is upon every saloon
dollar everywhere, and that you can
reap no reward, either in this world
or in any world to come by a traffic
with the devil in the ruined lives of
men, the broken hearts of women
and the starved souls of little children.
I appeal to the higher manhood
and the higher womanhood of
Hamilton county. This is a great and
progressive city. You are a great
andenlichtenedi>eoDle. Proclaimit?
proclaim it, my countrymen, to all
the world that you are not so given
up to a blipd and besotted worship
of Mammon that you prize the dollars
of the saloon more than you
prize the peace of your homes and
the souls of your neighbors.
The Knoxville Sentinel, which reports
the debate in full, says editorially:
Our accounts of the receptions accorded
the two candidates indicate
that despite the fact that Mr. Carmack
boldly advocates state-wide
prohibition, which is supposed to be
unpopular in Chattanooga, he had
a majority of the crowd with him
and was received with the greater enthusiasm.
If this reception in a supposedly
hostile city may be taken as an indication
of the sentiment through
i the state, Tennessee is soon to stand
among the prohibition commonwealths.

SUICIDE IN ANDERSON.
W. M. Dyar, of Fork Township, Blows
Out his Brains.
Anderson, May 15.?W. M. Dyar,
a white man living in Fork township,
this county, committed .suicide by
shooting himself in the head with a
shotgun. He literally blew the top
of his head off, his brains being scattered
over the ground for a considerable
area.
So far as can be learned there was
no cause for his rash act. J. J. Cromer,
on whose place the suicide occurred,
says that Dyar was subject to
despondent spells and that he had
* * 1 ' J At
taiKea several times a unrig me past
year of killing himself. He left his
home just before the tragedy, telling
his wife that he was going to see his
brother-in-law, a mile or so away.
He carried his gun with him, and instead
of calling on his relative he
went to a field near his home and fired
the fatal shot.
% Magistrate Fant held an inquest
and returned a verdict that the deceased
came to his death from selfinflicted
wounds. The deceased was
about 45 years of age and was a quiet,
hard-working man.
Fine Racers Here.
Mr. L. W. Verner, of Seneca, S. C.,
a veteran horse trainer and driver,'who
has been called the "Lord Chesterfield"
of the track, is now in the city with a
string of horses which he is training at
the race track of Jones Bros. Tney
have a lot of very fast horses, which are
owned by parties in different sections
of the State, and Jones Bros, have four
horses which are being handled by Mr.
Verner. These horses will be put in
- - ? A. 4-Urt fltVAA

months and raced at the different tracks
this fall and winter. The animals now
in the stables at the track are:
Sorrel gelding, green trotter, high
bred and very fast; owned by W. M.
Thompson, Greers, S. C.
Sorrel mare, green pacer, very promising;
J. T. Willard, Spartanburg, S. C.
Bay gelding, pacer; J. S. Haynes,
Roebuck, S. C. /
B^y gelding, green trotter; D. H.
Corints, Laurens, S. C.
Ben Hur, black gelding, record 2.29$,
L. W. Verner, Seneca, S. C.
The following horses are owned by
Jones Brothers:
Bad News, bay gelding, record 2:08$.
Jeff McGregor, sorrell stalion, record
2.16$.
Queen B., brown mare, record 2.11$.
Lillian C., green trotter.
Mr. Verner is an experienced trainer
of many years in the business of handling
racers, and those having horses
which are promising should give them a
try out in his hands. The weather is
food, the track is in fine condition, and
e is well equipped.
As a special favor Jones Bros, ask
that automobiles and buggies will keep
off the track, as it is now closed to the
public, and will be closed for the next
three months, when the training of
horses is going on. After that time the
track will agam be open to their friends.

Letter to S. W. Johnson, Bamberg, S. C.
Dear Sir: Some people get disappointed
in painting; it doesn't come-out as
they thought it would.
C B Edwards, of Edwards & Brough
ton, printers, Raleigh, N C, painted his
house Devoe three years ago; he had
used 30 gallons paste paint before and
bought 30 gallons Devoe. Had 16 left.
Paste paint is extra-thick?with-whitewash.
Mayor W. W. Carroll, Monticello,
Florida, says: My painter said it would
take 35 gallons to paint my house; it
took 20 gallons Devoe, His house is the
best paint job in1x>wn; and he says Devoe
is the whitest white of all paints.
Jones & Rodgers; bought 5 gallons
Devoe to prime Mr. Pratt's house at
Merkel, Texas. It painted two coats.
The reason for nobody guessing little
enouerh Devoe is: they learned in a bad
school: other paints.
Yours truly ?

New York.
P. S. J. A. Hunter sells our paint.
Mr. D. W. Phillips announces himself
in this issue as a candidate for
county commissioner. He would make
a fine officer.
Bamberg and Denmark played a
good game of base ball yesterday
afternoon, the score being five tc

feature of the game was Rentz's
catching. The boys expect to play
