?br Hmnbrrg Ijrralfc ESTABLISHED APRIL. 1891. ~~ A. VV. KNIGHT. Editor Published every Thursday in The Herald building, on Main street, in the live and growing City of Bamberg, being issued from a printing office which is equipped with Mergenthaler linotype machine, cylinder press, folder, two jobbers, all run by electric power, with other material and machinery in keeping, the whole equipment representing an investment of $10,000 and upwards. Siihsn-iutions?Bv the year, $1.00, iB up to us to raise revenue in some way. It has been stated that the increase in taxable property will soon make up the deficit from the loss of income from the dispensary, but prosperity will not come just so. Thoses who have money must put it pfe into enterprises which will develop the country if we are to grow and prosper. There are only two women editors in the State, one being Miss Grace Hemphill, of the Abbeville Medium, and the other Mrs. Estelle Smoak Herndon, of the Branchville Journal. The Medium favored the dispensary and the Journal was strongly in favor of prohibition. We would have liked a debate between the two at tne press meeting in Greenville, but the Medium editor was not present. When women can't aeree. how can vou ex pect men to do anything but quarrel and wrangle. . ^ Prohibition has prevailed in Bamberg county by a large majority, and every good citizen should accept the result. It is the will of the people as expressed at the ballot box, and for our part we are always willing to abide by the will of the majority. Now, let the law be enforced. If peace officers will not do their duty, they should be made to do it or get out. The law can be enforced, and as .we are to have prohibition, we are glad the majority was so large, for we want a strong sentiment back of f VlO 1?TT ., ' SllllilSii or 10 cents a month for less than one year.

Thursday, August 19, 1909 That was a regular prohibition earthquake Tuesday, wasn't it? | Looks like South Carolina might a? well make it unanimous. State-wide prohibition is the next thing on the program. We have no fej' doubt but that such a bill will pass r|-at the session of the legislature in h-. January. ^ * No man who voted to close the dispensaries should complain when his county and town taxes are raised, for they must be raised in order to meet &???*'. the deficit which will be caused by P^v'v lack of dispensary profits. We are delighted that there was no bitterness over the dispensary election in Bamberg. There are no hp'... sore places to heal, and in a short time no one will remember whether p his neighbor voted for the dispenjp-MV. sary or against it. Why should the Newberry Herald ItUlU i\ews aiwavs waut lu uc uaggiu^ at the Newberrry Observer? If our contemporary will excuse us, we think it shows bad taste. Newspapers in the same town should not have controversies. Their motives are too liable to be misunderstood. This newspaper now wants prohibition in every county in South Carolina. We have never believed in this thing of part of the counties being dry and part wet, anyway, and now that there are so few in the wet column, there is all the more reason that prohibition should be StateEvery man who voted for prohibition in Bamberg county should not buy liquor from a blind tiger, and if he knows of violations of the law he should report the parties and see that they are prosecuted. But it is the duty of every good citizen, no matter whether he voted for the dispensary or against it, to see that the law is enforced. Now let's all pull for Bamberg and Bamberg county. We are going to be short on tax money, and it FOURTEEN DRY COUNTIES. ONLY FIVE COUNTIES REMAIN IN DISPENSARY COLUMN. Light Vote Polled, but Good Majorities Given for Prohibition in Most Counties. Fourteen counties certainly dry; three counties certainly not; four counties doubtful?this is the result of the election held Tuesday in the twenty-one wet counties, as told by the returns received by The News and Courier up to a late hour Tuesday night. The election passed off quietly everywhere and the vote polled was not as heavy as had, been expected. The vigorous campaigns conducted by the prohibitionist leaders in all the counties resulted in the great majority of counties in the downfall of the dispensary and in decisive victories for prohibition. The following counties retain the dispensary: Aiken, Charleston, Richland, and probably Beaufort and Georgetown. The following counties have voted out the dispensary: Abbeville, Bamberg, Barnwell, Berkeley, Calhoun, Colleton, Dorchester, Fairfield, Hampton, Lee, Lexington, Orangeburg, Sumter, Williamsburg and probably Florence and Kershaw. The following list of the twentyone counties in which the election I was held will show at a glance the result of the election in each county, together with the vote polled by each side: Abbeville?Dry?For dispensary 448; against dispensary 662; three precincts missing.

August 16.?When Pri vate John Brummer, of the Fourth Cavalry, was arrested as a deserter in Greenwich, Conn., late Saturday, he begged the police of that town to let him go just long enough to get to Wallingford, Conn., and back. "My father's over there," he pleaded, "and he's dying. I broke out of the military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., a month ago, and walked all the way here in order to see him before he died." Brummer swore that if he was given a chance to reach the father he would return and give himself up within two days. The Greenwich authorities refused his request, but investigated the story, after having sent Brummer, handcuffed, on his way to Fort Hamilton prison here. They found that his father is dying in a Wallingford sanitarium. But that part of his tale relating to the escape from Lavenworth was proved to be false. Capt. McMillan, who is in command at Fort Hamilton, says that Brummer and another trooper sawed their way through the bars of the Fort Hamilton prison hospital and made their escape one night last week. Brummer said he had received a letter from his parent asking him to hurry to his bedside. But he could not get a furlough because he had been locked up in the guardhouse for drunkenness and disobeying orders. So, aided by a fellow prisoner named Sheehan, he mixed a potion of whiskey and lemon juice, the whiskey having been smuggled in to him, drank it in great quantities, and by means of this subterfuge got Himself transferred to the alcoholic ward of the hospital. That night, with a saw that he had concealed about him, he cut the way out for himself and Sheehan.

Pittsburg, August 14.?Peter Lei bauch, supposed to be demented, ha: been discovered by the police to b< the possessor of a fortune, which h< hid about his house and lived in th< greatest poverty. Trunks full of coin, stockings ful of bills, washboilers full of nickels H imps anri nennies estimated a $100,000 were loaded into a patro wagon and taken to the Farmers' De posit National Bank by the police Up to quitting time to-night full} $40,000 in cash had been counted and the job is not half finished. Leibauch lived at 14 00 Madisoi ave., North Side. Examiner Charlei Young, of the department of chari ties was notified by a priest of St Mary's Roman Catholic church tha Leibauch was destitute, and Examin er Young took Lieut. Henry Regel man with him and examined the hu in which Leibauch lived. Every corner the men looked int< they found money. One trunk meas uring three by two by one and one half feet proved to be so heavy th< two men could not lift it. Whei opened they found it jammed witl silver and copper coins. A further search revealed tw< trunks, a small one and a larger one both filled. A wash boiler was fllle< with money of small denominations By opening boards where the officer: found mysterious figures they fount other hoards. A box filled with nickels was hid den away under a bed. Several banl books were discovered showing de posits of thousands of dollars. In spector Scott Woods detained two of ficers to remain at the house to guar< the treasure until it could be carriet to the bank. Until two years ago Leibauch ant his brother Andrew lived in th' hovel. One day Andrew shot ant killed himself. How the men accu mulated so much money is a mystery as their only occupation was peddlinj herbs. Quart Kills Charlestonian. Charleston, S.

August 16.?The X ray as a cure for some cases of lep rosy has been demonstrated by th< American health authorities in th< Philippines, according to Dr. Victo Heiser, chief quarantine officer in th< island. Dr. Heiser says the X-ray is suita hie only for specially selected cases and is valuable apparently only ii the early stages. Official figures show that on Marcl 31, 1909, there were 2,44 6 lepers ii the Philippines, segregation havinj reduced by more than 1,000 thi number of cases during the past tw< years. At the beginning of th< American occupation 11 years ag< there were nearly 4,000 lepers. Lightning Strikes Fireman.
