Thursday, Nov. 19, 1908 Bamberg has one of the very best graded schools in the State, and this, jrtth the Carlisle Fitting School, gives as educational advantages possessed by few towns the size of Bamberg. Our schools are attracting new ^population, but we want more people. The Herald will be glad to give informa* tJon to people who want to move to in order to educate their children. gsp.r , The editorial from the Augusta Herald in reference to the recent ask-' t&ult case in Spartanburg voices our sentiments so well that we republish it in another column. We had beep thinking of writing along the same line before the editorial came to our g attention. The punishment did not fit the crime in this case, or in anysuch case. The only fit punishment for such a brute is death, but as attempted assault is not a capital offense in South Carolina, the wrtech did not get what he deserved. We trUst the legislature will amend the law and make attempted assault a i hanging crime at its coming session. It could do no greater service to the : State, and if they take this action we will hear less of lynching. We want our readers to tell us why they consider Bamberg a good town, and we want a whole lot of replies to the question. Bamberg is a good town in a great many respects, there is no doubt about that, and you who have been living here for so many years ought to know many reasons why it is a good place to live in and do business. We will publish pp all the replies received, and will not publish your name unless you desire fpi it, but we must have the name of evSSfe. ery one who writes us on this sub pp? ject. So now, get busy. Give your p- reasons why Bamberg is a good town. II?:.; Tbis offer is open to all, old and H? young, male and female, and the more replies, we get the better we will like it. Let, us have a number of replies for next week's issue. Last week we had occasion to go into the court house, and down stairs the floor and walls were a filthy looking mess from tobacco juice. It is a shame that people will have no more regard for decency and their own building as to squirt tobacco juice all over the floor and make the place look like a pig pen. What the condition was up-stairs we did not notice, ?M''' an<l we were not looking for such a mess down stairs, but it was so bad it forced our attention. The custodians of the court house do all they can to keep it clean, but with V \ the large crowds here attending court, they cannot stop the spitting. Let us all see if we cannot create a St-V ' sentiment against such a filthy practice. When you see a man spit on f the floor of the court house or other building, cair his attention to it and ask him if he will not quit it. Sfe \V'J<-." " v At one time Southern men were considered chivalrous and brave, but in this latter day it seems as if that reputation for the men of this section is rapidly passing. We know of no more cowardly practice than that of carrying concealed weapons, and yet the habit has become a common practice all over the South. It is not too much to say that at least fifty per cent, of the male population of South Carolina carry weapons of some sort, and this is true of almost every Southern State. As a result when two men get into a quarrel, pistols are drawn and somebody usually gets hurt. Then, too, the man who does not carry a weapon is at the mercy of tne thug and bully. There is a law against carrying concealed weapons in South Carolina, yet nobody observes it. All who want to carry pistols, do so. The? concealed weapon habit is responsible for a great deal of the lawlessness of this section, and something should be done to remedy the evil. The law requires that railroads shall make all street crossings smooth and level. Did you ever ride over the crossings on Railroad Avenue? If you have, please tell us whether you consider them smooth and level. City council should get after the railroad along this line. TO EQUALIZE OFFICES, in its presentment last week the grand jury of this county recommended that the salary of auditor, treasurer, and county supervisor be placed on an equal footing. When the treasurer and auditor were raised from $800 to $1,080 a year last February, this newspaper said: "Our legislative delegation should oppose the proposition to raise the salaries of auditors and treasurers so far as it affects Bamberg. We are not now in condition to raise salaries, however much these officials may deserve better pay. They have not asked for it so far 'as we know, and besides, to make these salaries $1,080 a year would be entirely out of proportion to the amount paid other officials." We are glad to see that the grand jury, composed of some of the best business men in the county agree with us. Whether the grand jury meant to reduce the salary of auditor and treasurer or increase the salary of supervisor, we do not know, but this newspaper is not advocating a decrease in these salaries. We opposed the raise, but now that it is done, we have nothing to say. But certain it is that the office of supervisor should command a higher salary than the auditor and treasurer. We regard the supervisor's office as the most important in the county. This official has to keep a horse and buggy for traveling around the county, and he has this additional expense that the other officers no not have. Therefore he should be paid more, or at least as much. But the matter is now between the grand jury and our representatives. Whether they raise or lower salaries, we are not advising, but we can heartily endorse the action of the grand jury in saying that the offices mentioned should be placed on an equal footing. A Good Move. Jas. A. Hoyt, of the Columbia bureau of the News and Courier, writes as follows to his paper: "It is understood that Senator L ?? ~ tit Vi rv Viae Ulinsieuseu, Ui ucauiuj t. uv done much good work for the State, is now endeavoring to secure data on which to base an effort to revise the tax system and to put into effect a more businesslike system. Mr. Christensen has not yet stated just wfiat line he will work on, but he is a very thorough business man and a very careful and unbiased investigator, and it is not unlikely that he will have something interesting and valuable for the legislators to consider." \ve are glad that Senator Christensen is taking up this matter, for no department of our government needs regulating more. This newspaper has been harping on a revision of tax methods for years, and we feel sure that Mr. Christensen will work out an improvement over present methods. He is one of the strongest men in the Senate, and while the problem is a complex one, he will develop a system which will be business-like and just. We know of no man in the State that we had rather see take hold of this problem than Senator Cnristensen. Union Meetings Barnwell Association. Topics: 1. State Missions. 2.
