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

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.

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:

Goes to Dying Father.
New York. 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.

HOVEL REVEALS FORTUNE.
Miser Who Hoarded $100,000 Live<
in Poverty.
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. C., August 17.? !
victim of the heat and liquor, Jeffer
son Cauley, a Charleston teamster
was brought home unconscious at ai
early hour in the morning and diet

Leprosy Helped by X-Ray.
Washington. 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<
