Thursday, Oct. 19,1911. ;|rn 1 Read the advertisements in The jp^ Herald. The merchants who advertise with us have bargains to offer you. Mention the fact that you saw their ad. in The Herald when buyill} ing. It will help you as well as us. For the first time in its history , The Herald appears as a sixteen page v paper, and we wish to thank the !?;," business men of Bamberg who by ??|j?; their patronage made such a paper jjT'possible. Now let our readers show |fc: their appreciation of the liberality of g||? these merchants by patronizing our BSasP advertisers. We would issue a paper I of this size every week if our advertising patronage would warrant it. We'll give a column of reading matter for every column of advertising, or if this proportion did not quite hold good, that is, if we could not get fifty per cent, of our space filled with edvertising, we would print a sixteen page paper anyway. rAll we want is a reasonable amount of ads. You can always be assured! that there will be plenty of reading matter in The Herald. Barnwell Baptist Association.

Alleged Assailant of Woman Hanged to Telegraph Pole. Forrest City, Ark., Oct 16.?Nathan Lacey, a negro, who it is charged, attacked Mrs. Thomas Cox at her home, near Forrest City, yesterday, was taken from the local prison tonight by a mob and lynched. Lacey was captured by a posse early to-day and imprisoned at Forrest City. To-night a mob of several hundred formed and, armed with sledge hammers and crowbars, battered their way to the negro's cell. Lacey was dragged into the open and with a rope about his neck marched to an old brickyard site, a mile from the city, where he was hanged to a telegraph pole. His body was left hanging. Plot Against President's Life? San Francisco, Oct. 1.6.?A report received here to-day by officials of the Southern Pacific Railway Company, from a section foreman of the road at Naples, CaL, gave details of the discovery of 36 sticks of dynamite under the pairtan -Viaduct, 20 miles north of Santa Barbara, several hours before President Taft's special train passed over the bridge, en route to Los Angeles, this morning. The dynamite was found after the I mo +/?Vimor? onprnirpd in a revolver bat TV C* V**QV?q V w - - tie with two men, who escaped. The dynamite was discovered at 2 o'clock this morning. The president's train passed over the bridge at 5:15. The night watchman saw two men on the bridge shortly before 2 o'clock. They were at the end of the bridge and ran when told to halt. The watchman hurried after them, firing several shots, which were returned. After the pair had escaped the watchman returned to the bridge and began an investigation. Nearly off the span, lodged on one of the posts of the viaduct, were 36 stacks of dynamite with a ten-foot fuse attached to one of the sticks. He left the find untouched, going to Santa SDcll Lkli d auu J-LVJUIJ iAAfo viuv>&ia. Sheriff Wines, of Santa- Barbara county, went immediately to the bridge, with several deputies and removed the dynamite. A search for the men is on. Running Too Fast. "The fall season is here when our main business street is generally crowded with people from the country selling cotton, buying goods, and attending to other business, and we most respectfully submit to city council, without - any intention of trying to run the town, that the , speed limit for automobiles on the business street be strictly enforced. The speed at which machines are run at present is entirely too fast, and the , lives of x our country friends should be protected. People will not want to come to Bamberg to trade if they are in danger of being run over by automobiles every time they cross the street." The above is from The Bamberg Herald. We suggest to The Herald that he get the mayor of Bamberg to hand out fines to,the speed fiends just as the mayor of Greenwood does, and it will not be a great while before there will be safe and sane running. There is not anything 1 rlike it. Talk and newspaper articles do not touch the tender spot like a lick at the pocket book does. It brings them down every time.? Greenwood Journal. I Bankrupt Through Graft. i Te most remarkable position into , which a city has ever fallen is that of < the city of Lawrence, Mass. This manufacturing city, with a population of 86,000, finds itself bankrupt; its late mayor, fire marshal and one alderman are in jail; the mayor's secretary has pleaded guilty of bribery, * and several other city officials are under indictment for bribery or for stealing from the city. With the city in this predicament, its leading citizens have joined in a petition to the legislature to give it a commission government of five persons, to be selected by the legislature and to exercise all of the pow- , ers of municipal government until a new charter can be'adopted. It is altogether probable that Law- i rence has as large a percentage of 1 honest people as any other American city. But evidently the honest citi- | zens of the town were entirely neglectful of their civic duties. No city i could pass entirely under the control of a gang of reckless plunderers un-! less this was the case. The appeal of its people to the legislature to save the city from th^ consequences of their neglect of civic duties will probably have to be met. It is a confession that the people of the city are incapable of conducting their own municipal affairs.?Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Hon. James F. Byrnes was the guest of honor at a barbecue at Fair i Pond school house on Friday, and his appetite was, they say, eloquent of the excellence of the feast.?Barnwell People. \ ' _ V. - A '.
