If the dispensary is voted out of
Bamberg county, we expect some
i surprises in political tia-ics
years hence.
Suppose every business man in
Bamberg persistently boosted Bamberg
one-half as much as The Bamberg
Herald. Don't you believe it
would benefit,the town? Suppose you
try boosting Bamberg a while and see
what an impression you will make on
those who don't know the town as
well as you do.
Wherever you go, be an apostle of
. sunshine. If you feel good, let people
know it- If a man deserves a
kind word, give it to him. If an enterprise
deserves a boost, give it.
Above all, if you believe in your
town, tell people everywhere you go
?V~^ r\1 o /-.?> it ic If PVPrV
IV UttI a. guuu it w. .
Bamberg man will tell of^ the good
town Bamberg is wherever he goes,
it will bring results. Suppose you
I tryit:"
While the board of arbitrators,
'who were selected to adjust the differences
between the Georgia Railroad
and the striking firemen, which
differences grew out of the employment
of negro firemen." have decided
against the white firemen as regards
their seniority over negro firemen,
3till we regard their decision as a victory
for the white firemen, for the
arbitrators decided that negroes must
be paid the same salary as white men
{for the same work. This no doubt
will soon lead to the elimination of
negroes as firemen, for it is certain
negroes would not be employed unless
they worked cheaper.
. Why would it not be better for the
legislature of South Carolina to meet
in the latter part of the summer instead
of in January? Several of our
best farmers and business men have j
{tola us tnat iney wouiu uoi unuu
serving in the house or senate if the
meeting was the latter part of the
summer when there was not so much
for them to do at home. The first
of the year is a time when most
farmers cannot leave their business,
and we believe summer sessions
would give the State more representative
men in the general assembly.
If this constitutional amendment
was submitted to the people,
we believe it would carry by a big
majority, and we trust that some
present member of the body will be
patriotic enough to offer such a
resolution.
In an editorial discussing Hon. R.
I. Manning, of Sumter, the Columbia
Record says: "It was only his position
on the dispensary that kept Mr.
Manning from being elected governor
in 190G. He was acknowledged
to hp thp most fit man in the race.
the most available, except for his ad
vocacv of the State dispensary." By
whom, pray, was Mr. Manning acknowledged
to be the most fit man
in the race, and where does The
Record get its information that Mr.
Manning would have been elected
governor except for his advocacy of
the dispensary? There is no use to
discuss politics in an off year, but
we had not heard that Mr. Manning
was acknowledged to be the most fit
man iu the race, or that he would
have been governor except, for his
views on the dispensary. The fact
fs that Mr. Manning never stood any
show of being elected against Ansel,
and we predict that he will never be
elected governor of South Carolina.
m .
jq .
Dr. Geo. B. Cromer, of Newberry
in a public speech said that in New
berry a blind tiger keeper was sen
to the chain gang, but in Charlestoi
he was n ade foreman o: the grain
jury. Evidently a blind tiger keep
jer was not foreman of the grand jur:
i which recently complained of viola
: tions of the dispensary law in Char
j lestoii.
Think of this record: Bamberg ii
[the smallest county in the State an<
yet we have five banks in the count:
| and another has just been organized
i For the territory. Bamberg will hav<
[more banks than any county in tin
1 State. That looks like Baniber;
icountv is prosperous, don't it? I
!you want to locate in a prosperou:
j county, come to Bamberg.
i We wish every man in Bamber/
! would honestly ask himself this ques
! tion: What am 1 doing to maki
i Bamberg a better business town ant
!a better place to live in? If the an
iswer shows that you are not expend
j ing any effort along either line, ge
busy. It will pay you as well as hel]
| the town, for whatever helps th<
[town benefits every citizen who lives
here.

A meeting of the prohibitionists
of this county is called to meet in th(
town hall next Monday, and we pre
sume plans for the voting out of th<
dispensary will be discussed. Le
! oicn Hppirip to enforc(

prohibition in case the dispensary is
(voted out. Every good citizei
should make it his business to se(
that the law is enforced and make ii
! prohibition in fact as well as ir
name.
SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS.
If any evidence was needed to convince
the editor of this newspaper ol
the place The Herald holds in the
i hearts of the people of the town ol
j Bamberg, that evidence has beer
j forthcoming during the progress ol
; our popularity contest. The young
j ladies who have been working to wir
jthe prizes have so often remarked
. that it was hard to get new subscribJ
ers in Bamberg, as everybody here
takes The Herald. And it seems
that what few were not subscribers
have had their names put on ouj
list, while those who are now subscribers
have paid in advance fo?
two, three, and five years, as well
as paying for papers to be sent tc
relatives out of town. We say il
anything was needed to convince us
'of the hold The Herald has on Bamberg's
people, these facts would dc
so. But it was not neededf for the
steady growth of our business
(which comes practically unsolicited)
and the friendship and support
The Herald enjoys from the best people
of the town convinced us long
ago that Bamberg people believed ir
this newspaper. All the more do we
appreciate it, for we know that it
comes from the merits of The Herald
as a newspaper ana notning eise,
The above might also be said with
! truth of other sections of the county,
j While it is true that The Herald
| has never hesitated to speak its mind
ion public questions, we have always
stood for the best interests of our
town and county.' While we have
spoken out when occasion demanded
it, still we have never catered to the
popular side on any matter. We
have assumed positions which were
unpopular with some, and on questions
affecting the welfare of the
i town and its people we have had opposed
to us some of our strong and
influential citizens. But we have always
differed honestly and decently,
always giving others credit for the
same honesty of opinion that we
claimed for ourselves. We need in
Bamberg more tolerance for the
views of others. A man is not necessarily
a jfool or a rascal because he
doesn't happen to think as you do,
and he has just as much right to an
opinion and to express that opinion
as you have. (It would ge well tc
i rcmomhpr this in the aDDroachin.s
dispensary election.)
As in the past, so in the future
The Herald will continue to advocate
those things which it believes is for
the best interests of our growing little
city and fine little county. We
do not expect to be popular, but we
do expect'to so conduct our newspaper
that it will have some force and
r>Viavar>tev iPflvin? rift doilbt US tO OUI
position on any public matter. A
newspaper editor who has opinions
and expresses them does not or neec
not expect personal popularity. His
personality is merged into his news
paper, and if passing time discloses
the wisdom of his editorial course
he should be content even if th(
public sometimes misunderstand:
and says hard things about him.
Again, we sincerely thank ever:
one for their kind support and pat
ronage in the past and we will dul:
appreciate all business thrown ou:
way in' the future. We believe w<
deserve the undivided support of oui
people, and we will continue to giv<
them full value for every dolla:
spent with The Herald, whether foi
subscriptions, advertisements or jol
work.

/
:j HERALDOSITIES.
t:
l ; A newspaper run on business prin.
j ciples. depending solely on its merits
as an advertising medium and on its!
- j live news columns to effect its en-j
r i trance into homes whereby the ad_!
vertisements it may contain will
; prove results and effectiveness to
", that portion of the business men of
! any town who apply up-to-date
j methods to the conduct of their
51 business, is so much of a novelty
, | that a certain amount of friction has
i necessarily resulted in the process <
i of evolution from the old days when
. subscriptions were paid in cord wood "
? and advertising bills in bacon, to the
~ present day, when it takes cash to
? make the press go round.
? There are those in every commut
nity who find it rather hard to acs
custom themselves to this new cons
dition o: affairs and who, in jarring
themselves loose from a dollar or so
for an advertisement or subscription,
I are inclined to charge that amount to
. the charity fund, and if results are
a not immediate to the extent of a
" seven-fold return on the investment,
i crawl back into their shell and are
- lost to public view until such time
_ when in another spasmodic Durst or
generosity another dollar is invest1
ed.
5 In these days of publicity, if one
5 thing is more clearly demonstrated :
? than another, it is the fact that ad3
vertising to reach out and get the
business must be continuous and
have the merit of originality behind
5 it. There is always a pacemaker in
? this line in every community and
. as a natural result of competition he
k keeps everlastingly at it. The re'
suit is he corrals the business. His
t is the store that is the brightest
j along the principal street. His are
5 the clerks who can define the word
5 courtesy, and his is the stock
1 which remains a stranger to dust
? and cobwebs.
t These are the days when a business
cannot be built upon the
strength of personality alone and as a
ruleit is the man with .the biggest personality
who does the most advertising.
He is the man who expands
while the other fellow:?well?some
day he ..will just simply dry up and
f bPow away.
. . if *
p There are more automobiles to
the square inch in Bamberg than any =
i nthor tnivn r>f itc ciyp in the State?
t probably in the entire South, which
r indicates two or three things?that
' che people of our little burg are live
1 wires?that they have got the
I money to buy the machines and
. when "flying machines" become
4 popular we'll have our share of
' those, too.
> * * *
5 Somewhere we have heard the ex.
pression "the gentle art of making
enemies." It is an art?a fine art.
Any man with force and ginger in
' his make-up is bound to make ene[
mies. The nonenity in ? community
) will plod his peaceful way through
. life with never a ripple to disturb
: the placidity of existence, content in
s the self-induced belief that all men
. look well upon him. His is the
type which accomplishes nothing
worth while; happy in a mere meat
and bread living?maybe what the
s world calls a "good provider," but
. when the only event of real im.
j portance in his career transpires?
' death?it takes a towering monu- =
ment of granite to call attention to
; the fact that he ever lived.

Not long ago a drummer stepped
! off the train in a small, nearby town.
; He was one of those big, jolly, baywindow
fellows with "the smile that
won't come off." He carried a little
' brown leather sample case and
1 painted on the side in big letters was
the expression "This town looks
[ good to me." He carries the same
message to every town he visits,
doubtiess, but it is the spirit of the
1 thing which counts. It is safe to,
say that his order book works over,
time.
Mr. does your town look good to
you? If it does, then tell somebody

There were four in the group under
a shade tree on Main street. You
' all know the spot. Prohibition was
the subject under discussion. Each
. side of the question had its supporters.
'It ended up this way:
"Do you know what the total
' cash sales of ail the stores in Bam,
berg were on a certain Saturday
> within the past month?" asked the
f advocate of prohibition.
"No, what were they?" came from
1 the other side.
> Figures -were given.
"Do you know what the cash re,
ceipts of the dispensary were on the
same date?"
"No, let's have them."
Figures were given.
t The gross "booze" receipts were
( nearly twice as much as the total
cash receipts of all other classes of
? mercantile business in Bamberg.
That's all!
! INJURED AT SAWMILL.
John Q. Cannon Severely Hurt in
Lexington.
> i
I Lexington, June 29.?Mr. John Q.
Cannon, overseer at the large saw^
mill plant of Hon. D. F. ESrd, a few
miles from Lexington, was painfully
l injured by a cut-off saw on last
Thursday. Mr. Cannon was operats
ing the saw and was standing on a
I plank, when in some unknown man51
nor tho ninnl,- was knocked out from
- under him. throwing him directly
, across the running saw. He was se'
verely cut across the breast, on the
' j inside of the right leg and across the
- j chin. Medical aid was summoned at =

"I am very willing that my name

of Doan's Kidney Pills. I suffered
from kidney trouble for several
years. There were pains in the
small of my back and at times I was T
bothered by irregular passages of the
kidney secretions. The use of several
remedies brought me but little vl%lpp
relief and when I saw Doan's Kidney
Pills advertised, I went to the Peoples
Drug Co. and procured a supply.
Although I have not taken them -?
long enough to justify a cure, from
the benefit already received, I feel
that it will be but a short time before
