Thursday, July 22,1909
it is said that the prices of all
commodities will be much higher
when the new tariff bill goes into ef
feet. Good gracious, we thought
they were high enough now. What
is a poor man to do if the cost of
living goes any higher?
Right on the heels of our article
in reference to "ready-print" newspapers,
the Hampton County News,
published at Brunson, announces
that it will be an all-home print paper
after the first of August. A
good move on the part of the News,
and one which ought to bring sucjj||
cess.
Judge Memminger did the right
(thing in Yorkville last week wnen
he dismissed the entire panel of jurors
because they would not convict
in cases where the evidence was
plain. We need more judges who
will follow his example. This is one
way to get jurors who will do their
duty.
The officials of the Southern Railway
certainly appreciate the meetings
of the State Press Association,
and there are always several delightful
gentlemen on hand to take care
of the newspaper men as to special
trains, etc. At the reeent meeting in
Greenville there were present Col. R.
W. Hunt, formerly assistant general
passenger agent but now connected
with the ticket collecting department;
Mr. J. L. Meek, assistant general
passenger agent; Mr. J. C. Lusk,
division passenger agent; and Mr. W.
E. McGhee, passenger ageni. ine
editors appreciate the presence and
kindly attentions of these gentlemen
at their annual meetings, and we
trust they will continue to attend.
There exists a misapprehension in
the minds of many people in this
county in regard to the approaching
dispensary election. M^ny of them
have the idea that the question to be
decided is State-wide prohibition or
dispensaries, when it is not. The
election to be held in this county decides
the question only so far as
Bamberg county is concerned, and
we are not voting on a State proposition
at all. For instance, Bamberg
county may vote wet and Colleton
and Orangeburg dry and Barnwell
wet, and so on, or others may vote
dry and others remain wet. The legislature
in its wisdom made it a
county to county affair, and the question
to be decided is whether Bamberg
county shall have dispensaries
or not. We have absolutely nothing
whatever to do with any other county.
_
The Herald has no axe to grind in
the approaching dispensary election,
and personally we are willing to submit
to the verdict of our people freely,
fairly, and honestly expressed at
the ballot box. Our columns are
open to both sides of the question,
but all articles must relate to the
merits of the question, and no per
sonai aiiusiuiis ur lusiiiuctuuiis
g i
against anybody will be allowed.
Make up your mind as to what is
best and vote that way, and whatever
your verdict, it should be accepted by
all. We are one people?our interests
are identical, and we should be willing
to trust an enlightened people.
.But vote with your eyes open, understanding
the question fully. And,
above all, don't fall out with your
neighbor because he disagrees with
you. It is a healthy sign to see people
have different opinions, for it
shows they are thinking and arriving
at conclusions after investigating.
'* . *
The farmers of the South played
into the hands of the speculators by
selling cotton for future delivery,
and now the price has gone down as
a natural result.
The statement that Bamberg is
~ * Ck Y*? A
the best county m tut; oiaic emu.
Bamberg the best town anywhere
does not need to be proven. Any
Bamberg man will admit it.
Cotton ought to bring a good price
this fall, if the prices of groceries
and other necessaries of life are any
indication. The cost of living gets
higher each year, and the income of
the laboring man is not increasing
proportionately. It seems to us that
the condition of the worker gets
worse every year.
AGREES WITH US.
The Bamberg Herald has begun
the agitation of a movement for sum
VI..
mer session of the general assemuij i
by changing the time of meeting
from the months of January and
February to the months of July and
August. The Herald's suggestion is
a good one and should receive the
endorsement of the press of the
State. However, The Herald might J
have gone further and advocated bi- I
ennial sessions and four-year terms
for office holders in order that all
these much needed reforms might I
come at the same time. What the
State needs is more farmers and
business men as law-makers and as I
long as the sessions of the general
assembly are held in two of the I
busiest months in the year it will be
difficult to get men of that type to I
offer for positions in the house or I
senate. Next to biennial summer
sessions of the general assembly the
four-year tenure for office holders is
of most importance and it would be
a great blessing to South Carolina
if all these reforms could come atl
the same time.?Dillon Herald. I
We are glad to have the endorsement
of Editor Jordan and we hope
other editors throughout the State
will view this matter in the same
light. If we are to get our most
representative farmers and business
? thp time I
men 10 serve <ib lcgiaiowjui
of meeting must be changed. This
newspaper has advocated biennial
sessions and four-year terms for officials
for a number of years, but it
seems so far to little purpose.
I FAIR PLAY FOR NEGRO.
???
Speaker at Atlanta Points Ont Logic
of South's Attitude.
Atlanta, Ga., July 18.?Equal industrial
opportunities for the negro
was the keynote of an educational
mass meeting, held this afternoon in
big Bethel church here, under the auspices
of the industrial department of
Morris Brown College, a negro institution.
The audience of more than
fifteen hundred negroes was interspersed
with a goodly number of
prominent white citizens, who entered
actively into the discussion. A
white man, too, presided?Dr. James
W. Lee, pastor of Trinity Methodist
church.
The negro speakers stressed the
fact of a perfect understanding of
the social and political supremacy of
the white man, to whom the negro
must look for moral and industrial
uplift. The principal address was delivered
by Dr. Lee, long recognized
by negroes throughout the South as
a loyal friend. His talk was optimistic
and, while deploring the recent
effort to oust negro firemen on the
Georgia Railroad, he felt that an era
of better feeling between the two
races was dawning, which augured
for the betterment of the South generally.
Dr. Lee said the white men
of the South could not afford to stand
idly by and see the negro deprived of
:he opportunity to make an honest
living.
"The custom has been in the
North," said Dr. Lee, "to permit the
negro equality in the church, in the
school, in the theatre, in the railroad
coach, but no equality in the shop,
the foundry or in the department of
bricklaying and carpentry. The South
has been disposed to offer him equality
in the things in which his rations
are involved. Our Northern friends
say you can do whatever the white
folks do at the top of society, but you
can do nothing they do at the bottom.
The Southern people say to the negro,
you can work along with the
white folks in the realm of industry
and thus make for yourself the
means to enable you to create a top
for yourselves by your own efforts
and among your own people. In the
South, the white people will have
their own top, but they have been
willing for the negro to work and
build up a top for himself, too.
"The ideas which prevail in the
North concerning negro industrial
equality should not he permitted to
make a practical expression of themselves
in the South. It is generally
conceded that the North did a good
thing for the negro in setting him
free, and now it is the turn of the
South to do a better thing for him
by giving him work, so that his freedom
shall not be a curse but a blessing."
Ex-Governor Northern, of Georgia,
was among those who spoke.
Lion and Tiger Fight.
New York, July 19.-?Fifteen hundred
persons in a trained animal
show at Coney Island witnessed a
battle between a lion and a tiger in
a large performing cage and as a result
of the thrilling encounter the
lion probably will have to be killed
to-day. The two animals took part
in the same act and between them
there had been bad blood for a long
time.
When they leaped at each other
late yesterday, the audience looked
on panic-stricken, while attendants
fired blank cartridges at the two
enraged beasts and prodded them
vigorously with steel prongs. It
was only when the hind legs of the
lion had been rendered useless by
the tiger biting the small of his back
that the brutes were separated.
IN THE PALMETTO STATE
SOME OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS
KINDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
State News Boiled Down for Quick
Reading?-Paragraphs About
Men and Happenings.
During a thunder storm one da;
last week Mr. J. P. Caine, of Carlisle.
Union county, had a hog and a $2'.(
mule killed by lightning.
While running about in the lot on
Thursday a fine horse of Mr. J. C.
Harris, of Anderson, fell over a cc v
and broke its own neck.
Mr. Miles O'Riley, of North, has
challenged Col. W. G. Smith to meet
him in joint debate and discuss the
question, "Prohibition is a farce and
will not prohibit."
Insurance Commissioner McMaster
on Thursday issued a license to the =
negro Knights of Pythias, who put
up $5,000, to do a fraternal insur
ance business in this State.
Dr. James Evans, of Florence, who
was surgeon of the 3rd regiment in
the civil war, and for some years
past secretary of the State board of
health, died at Clifton Springs, N. Y.,
on Thursday, aged 77 years.
A young white man named C. C.
Gardner, watchman at the Granby
warehouse, at the head of navigation
in Columbia, was found on Friday
with a lot of goods in his possession
that he had stolen from the New
York, Columbia & Georgetown
Steamboat Company, including bolts
of cloth, shoes, etc.
Magistrate D. H. Towles, at Meggett's,
Colleton county, has written
a long letter to the governor asking
him for one hundred constables for
his section to keep down the "prohibitionists
(blind tigers)." He says
liquor is being shipped in "all along
the line" of the railroad, "not by the
gallon, but by the barrel and carload."
A special from Spartanburg to the
daily papers on Thursday says that
M. J. Caples. of Johnson City, Tenn.,
vice president and general manager
of the C., C. & O. road, spent that day
in the city inspecting the laying of
the rails along the line of road at this
end. He announced that the track
laying would be completed by Novemhar
and trains would be running in
to Spartanburg by Thanksgiving day.
There is a strong desire among Columbians
to have President Taft to
visit that city in his Western and
Southern tour soon to be taken, and
Governor Ansel, Mayor Reamer and
the chamber of commerce have sent
him an urgent invitation. A delega- :
tion, headed by the governor, were
on the point of going to Washington
to press the invitation by personal appeal,
but the president's private sec?
1 A tr\ nroit until thp
retary ucggcu mem tv w
president should get the tariff bill off
his hands; and so they will go later.
PULLED TRIGGER WITH TOE.
Suicide of John Owens, of Fort Mill
Township.
Fort Mill, July 19.?John Owens,
a white farmer 55 years old, who
lived in the upper part of this township,
near the North Carolina line,
killed himself Saturday at noon in
the kitchen of his home. The dead
man so arranged his shotgun as to
pull the trigger with his toe. The
load took effect in his face and neck,
severing the jugular vein and horribly
mangling the right side of the
face. He died almost instantly.
WILL WORK OX CREDIT.
Xo Provision Made for Expense of j
the Election.
News comes from Columbia to the
effect that the legislature made no
appropriation for the August whiskey
election. This means that the managers
of the election and others who
may be owed money on account of
the approaching election in the 21
disnensary counties, will have to wait
until the next session of the general
assembly before they can be paid.
The act under which the election
is to be held provides briefly in section
15, as follows: "Provided that
the expenses of the election shall be
borne by the State." Such elections
as the one to be held in August have
to be provided for at the following
session of the legislature, after they
are held. It is hard to tell exactly
what the cost of the election will be.
In the approaching election, also
the State will have to pay all expenses =
which includes the cost of room rent.
In other elections, the counties stand

LUC CAp^UDV AVA 1 VVAMW) ^ vw., ^ ? w. ,,
thing except the cost of managers
and advertising. But, in the August
election the State stands all the expenses.
The election will probably
cost the State in the neighborhood
of $10,000.
WOUNDED BY NEGRO.
Hayne Buford, Mail Clerk, Struck on
the Head With Stone.
A special from Laurens on Saturday
to the News and Courier says:
"In an altercation at the passenger
station early this morning with Rich
Curry, a negro hotel porter, Hayne
Buford, of Newberry, a son of Sheriff
Buford, of Newberry, and mail clerk
on the mixed train between Laurens
and Columbia, received a painful
wound. Curry assaulted Mr. Buford
with a large rock, striking him in the
head, near the ear, cutting an ugly
wound. He was knocked to the
ground by the terrific blow, but, assisted
by a companion, Buford arose
and fired several shots at the negro
as he was beating a hasty retreat
from the scene. Curry was arrested
and locked up, while Mr. Buford was
removed to his boarding house and
given immediate medical aid.
"It appears that Mr. Buford had
had a previous clash with the negro.
Curry, and when he met with the
porter at the station this morning,
he undertook to punish him with a
cane for his alleged offensive conduct
a few weeks ago. The negro, somewhat
noted as a fighter, picked up a
handy stone and hurled it at Buford
with the result above indicated."

REAPING BENEFIT J
From the Experience of Bamberg
People.
We are fortunate indeed to be
able to profit by the experience of
our neighbors. The public utterances
of Bamberg residents on the follow
ing subject will interest and benefit
thousands of our readers. Read this
statement. No better proof can be
had,
N. B. Adams, Main street, Bamberg,
S. C., says:
"I most heartily recommend ^
Doan's Kidney Pills, as I used them
and obtained great benefit. I suffered
for more than a year from attache
of backache and pains in the small
of my back. The kidney secretions
were unnatural and gave me no end
of trouble on account of their frequency
in passage. Having Doan's
Kidney Pills brought to my attention,
I procured a supply at the Peo- j
pies Drug Co. and began using them.
They gave prompt relief. In a few '
weeks the pains in my back were entirely
disposed of and my kidneys
were again performing their work
properly."
