============ _
Of course we are all for Woodrow
f Wilson for president.
Possibly, just at this time, the governor
is more proud of his friends
IfelP *ban k*s friends are of him. '
h The saddest words
jig ' We hear each day:
"Please call and pay;
Please call and pay."
It is time every good citizen was
asking himself the question: What .
fpr'J am I doing to make life safer in my ,
Kjyv community? ,
The city of Florence has placed a
k|y license of $1,000 on carnivals visit'
ing that city. Other towns could ,
. profit by the example of Florence. '
The negroes are dying out in the
"black belt" more than they are moving
out, and no doubt this accounts
I?, largely for the decrease of the ne^
gro population in the low country.
P-;< The Columbia State will now have
? v ~ to go out of business, as the govergp.-'c
nor has decided that it shall not be
given any news from his office. And
|p yet the newspaper was giving him
v some valuable advertising without
&-/ charge. Coley doesn't seem to know
fa when he has a good thing.
^ i
Another murder in . Columbia in
which a man and a woman were the
jg|f victims! No provocation for the deed
fe has been shown, but it is plain that
pC'- ther~murderer went off and procured
I cartridges and came back and deliberately
put an inoffensive man and
jfe; woman to death. Life is certainly
pp getting cheap in South Carolina.
The generally accepted standard
~ ' ? * tv?? rwP t?aO rl_
ior a newspaper is a. wmmu ui
||r ' ing matter for a column of advertis- 8
?? ing, and this must be maintained if ?
R|p,? the paper is to be a success. Yet *
there has never been a time when *
||fe? The Herald did not give consider- *
?c. ably more than this. In fact our s
py average is about two columns of ^
reading matter for one column of ad- t
vertising, and yet some people think *
Qf' we are getting rich at this, besides 8
jfe only charging one dollar a year for *
subscription.
We sincerely hope that the editor
of The Bamberg Herald has succeed- 1
- ed in borrowing the money for that *
Wr New York trip, as he suggested some 1
time ago. The editor of the Enquirer (
hopes to make arrangements some- *
|pi- how to go; but he feels that he will "
not enjoy it nearly so much if Knight 1
should not be along.?Yorkville En- 1
quirer.
Nothing doing yet, and it begins
S- to look like we can't get to the meet- 1
ing in Columbia, to say nothing of the '
l?: New York trip. We'd like mighty (
well to be with "the boys," but luck
gpp-- is "agin" us. {
It seems to us that it would be a ]
good idea if the fire department ^
would practice some, rne town nas
spent about one thousand dollars in .
equipment, and there will be a fund
coming to the department from the
1*/. ' insurance act this year, so our boys '
should take an interest in the department
and be ready to fight a fire '
when one occurs as- well as taking
care of the apparatus. If the hose
and other equipment is not properly
looked after it will soon go to rack
and ruin. Wake up, boys, and let's
have a first-class department. The
stores close early now, and there is
W *
no reason why you should not get
out and practice.

You are not an average man if
you don't carry around $34.45 in
your pocket. Sorry, but we can't
average up these days. But if any
friend can supply the $34, we'll
rustle around for the .55.
Newspapers and other publications
in Georgia cannot exchange advertising
for railroad mileage, is the
opinion rendered by Judge Hines,
special attorney for the railroad
commission of that State, and his
opinion is expected to becom# an
order of the commission. It would
be a good thing if such a regulation
was in force in South Carolina. It
would result in great good to the
newspaper profession generally.
CONSULT THE PATRONS.
We have learned that the authorities
of the Bamberg graded school
are considering the adoption of the
two sessions a day plan when the
fall term commences. Under this
plan the exercises of school would
begin at 8:30 or 9 o'clock in the morning
and continue until 12:30 when
there would be a recess of one and
one-half hours to allow the children
to go home for dinner. At two
o'clock exercises would be resumed,
and continue until four o'clock, when
school would be dismissed for the
day. The idea of the authorities, as
we understand it, is to adopt a study
period after dinner and thereby insure
the preparation of the next
day's lessons under the eye of the
teacher. Under the present system
many children stay on the streets
during the afternoon and as a consequence
they come to school next
day with lessons unprepared.
This is all very well, and we commend
our trustees and principal for
their endeavors to improve the work
Df the school. Under ordinary circumstances
no doubt we would favor
the two sessions plan. It has many
admirable features. What we want
is more real teaching by the teachers,
and if two sessions a day will bring
this about it would be a good thing.
But, with the graded school building
located away out in one edge of town
it will be too inconvenient for many
children, as the distance is too great
for them to go home to dinner and
;ome hack for an afternoon session,
ft is more than one mile from our
tiometo the school building, and many
ither patrons of the school live farther
from the1 building than does the
svriter. It's all very well to talk
ibout how far children walked to
school in the old days, but we are
irying to improve on those days, and
fve can see nothing but failure ahead
if the two sessions plan for the Bamierg
graded school. If the building
lad been put somewhere near the
renter of population, it would be
vorth the trial, but we see no use
n attempting it under present condi;ions.
We only learned of this movement
n the last day or so, and since that
have talked to a number of
)2ttrons of the school about it, and
jractically all of them are against
;he two sessions plan. We trust
herefore that the trustees and prin;ipal
will consult the wishes of a
najority of the patrons before they
inally decide this matter, for we feel
sure if adopted it wrill result in a
oss of pupils and an injury to the
ichool. If the two sessions plan is
idopted it means a private school for
imall children in Bamberg, for we
mow of a number of parents who
i3.ve stated that they cannot send
heir small children to the graded
chool under the two sessions plan.
>Ve are after the best interests of
he school, and if a majority of the
>atrons want two sessions a day, well
ind good, but at least the wishes of
he patrons should be consulted.
Bondsmen Must Pay.
Columbia, May 9.?Notwithstandng
the fact that Gov. Blease has
>aroled Eugene Hogan, Jr., the young
nan from Sumter, who was convicted
of assault and battery and senenced
to five years, later leaving the
State, the bondsmen will most probibly
have to pay immediately the
imount of Hogan's bond, which is
?i,Q4)0.
The matter came up in the supreme
court to-day, the appeal from
i circiut judge's order being dismissid.
Judge Ernest Gary had ordered
Sogan to appear with his bondsmen
it one term of court, the same at
cvhich the order was issued. Later
in the same term he issued another
Drder, requiring Hogan's bondsmen
:o appear at the next term. No orler
estreating the bond has ever
been issued.
The effect of the supreme court's
Drder dismissing the appeal is to
send the case back to the circuit
:ourt for such an order; counsel for
Hogan's bondsmen made the point
that Hogan has recently been parol
ed. The court stated this made no
difference in the consideration of the
estreating of a bond. Hogan's bondsmen
are his father, Eugene Hogan,
Sr., and his uncle, W. B. Boyle.

TWO DANGLE FROM LIMB.
Negroes Lynched for Alleged Attempt
to Poison Farmer's Family.
Mobile, May 6.?On ' the public
road, three miles west of Louisville,
in Winston county, Miss., the dead
bodies of Cliff Jones and Bruce
White, half brothers, colored, were
found dangling from the limb of a
tree at an early hour to-day.
The negroes had been in the employ
of John Pearson, a planter, and
had been placed under arrest Friday
for an alleged attempt to poison
the Pearson family, by placing a solution
of strychnine obtained from
rat poison, which had been used
about the place. Several days ago
Mrs. Pearson reprimanded Jones for
some breach of trust, and this is supposed
to have caused the attempted
killing.
NARROW ESCAPE FROM BIGAMY.
Savannah Man Charges He was
Duped by "Divorce" Lawyer.
Savannah, Ga., May 6.?Primus
J. Williams had a narrow escape from
committing bigamy. He alleges that
he paid a lawyer $28.80 to represent
him in divorce proceedings, and that
the attorney gave him a legal looking
document purporting to be a
genuine divorce. The lawyer, I. J.
Perlue, it is charged, gave Williams
a bogus document in return for the
fee paid him, and he now faces
charges of conducting a divorce bureau
out of court, accepting money
for services he did not render, and
signing the name of another to a
counterfeit divorce verdict. He was
arrested yesterday, after being in
jail several days on other charges.
Williams read in the newspapers
about the first arrest of Perlue, and
he then made a careful examination i
of the paper the lawyer had given I
him. He was making preparations
to be married at an early date.
