business failures there are in Bamberg?
This speaks'well for the mercantile
life of the town.
Those from Bamberg who went to
Charleston and saw the races Thursday
of last week say there was an
open bar-room at the track, but that
the governor did not appear to mind
it. Maybe he didn't know it was
.there.
Bamberg needs to double her population
by the next census. We know
of no town anywhere that needs new
population more. There are plenty
of people looking for a good town to
live in, and we can bring them here

The Dorchester Eagle came out
last week as a six-column eight-page
paper. It has formerly been issued as
a five-column eight-page sheet. Congratulations
to Editor Felder on his
' prosperity. He is giving his people
a first-class weekly.
'
Governor Blease signed the State
warehouse bill last week, and the
measure is now a law. What effect
it will have on conditions is problematical,
and the governor seems to
have grave doubts as to whether it
will be of much benefit to the farmers.
? ? 1
It really seems to us that the peo
pie of Bamberg do not realize what
.a< solid town we have and what advantages
we have. Compare Bamberg
with any town in the ^State its
size and you will find that it is in
many respects the very best town
anywhere.
When strangers visit your town
make it a point to show them what
a progressive place it is. Inform
them of all of its good points, and
above all, be loyal to all its institutions.
Nothing impresses a stranger
more favorably than loyalty on the
part of a town's citizenship.
A cost congress is being arranged
for by the printers of the State. It
should be attended by every owner
of a printing office in South Carolina.
It is likely that the meeting will be
held in Columbia some time next
month, and we hope to see a large attendance.
Let's get down to actual
facts as to what printing costs us.
Ton manv of us don't know anything
about the cost of our work.
?
Governor Blease vetoed a number
of items in the appropriation bill, yet
the legislature passed most of them
over his veto. In most of the cases he
was right, but he should have gone
futher. The governor did not seem to
liave the nerve to veto items which
amounted to something, but rather
he vetoed the smaller appropriations.
However, he was right as far as he
( went, but he should have used the
veto more freely.
Frankly, we don't think very much
of the three commissioners elected by
the legislature to have charge of the
State warehouse system. As the
Hon. Jno. L. McLaurin was the originator
of the scheme and drew the
bill, it does seem that the legislature
would have done him the honor of
making* him chairman of the commission,
especially as he is one of
the largest farmers in the State and a,
most energetic and capable business
man. Yet his name was not even
mentioned in connection with the
place. Of course the election of
Messrs. McCown, Clinkscales and
Horlbeck may turn out all right, and
we hope It will.
0
The three greatest bluffers in the
South are in South Carolina and
Georgia. Cole L. Blease is one and
Thos. B. Felder, the Atlanta lawyer,
is the other two.
The South Carolina general assembly
seems to have been suffering
from a case of too much statesmanship.
What is needed, it seems to
us, is more common sense and that,
too, of the commonest kind.
We see that the dispensary investigating
committee is to summon Thos.
B. Felder to appear and testify. If
He doesn't ten tne committee any
more than he has told the public,
notwithstanding all his bluster, he'll
hardly be worth per diem and mileage
as a witness.
The Herald takes pride in directing
attention to the statements of the
two banking institutions of this city.
We'll warrant that no banks in any
town in the State can make a better
showing, and if these statements may
be taken as an index to the financial
condition of Bamberg, the town generally
is in fine condition.
There will be general regret all
over the' State that Mr. R. H. Jennings,
the present State treasurer,
has decided not to stand for re-elec- ;
tion, but we see no reason- why the (
position should be handed down to an
a# +V?r\ AflRnti nnfl Trhrt has

years. We hope to see some strong, i
representative man announce for the ]
position. >

The Florence Times, in discussing ,
the paragraph in last week's Herald (
in regard to the veto of the medical 1
inspection bill, sets up a beautiful j
man of straw which it proceeds to ,
demolish, and calls on us to specify
which class of parents we had in ^
mind. The Herald did not say the }
bill "does take away the rights of
parents." We said, "In matters of
this kind due regard should be given
the rights of parents." We represent
one class of parents, and we believe
we have a right to be protected from {
contagious diseases which might be
contracted by our children at school {
because proper care was not exercised (
by some other parents. We have *
urged for years a physical examina- *
tion of all children before they enter J
a public school, and this inspection 1
act is no new thing to us. But the 1
examination should be done at home
by the family physician, the parents '
bearing the expense, and in cases 1
where the parents are too poor to
bear the expense, then let the public {
funds be drawn on. But we want no
wholesale examination of children at ]
the school building. Let the examin- 1
ation be made at home in all cases (
and no child should be permitted to '
enter school who is not sound physi- ]
cally or who has not bee., successfully 1
vaccinated. Such a measure is need- 3
ed. but it should be a common sense 1
law and one which can be enforced !
without friction. We feel sure that 1
if the act had been properly drawn <
it would have passed over the gover- ^
nor's veto, and, too, we do not believe 1
the governor would have vetoed an
act such as we have outlined above. ]
The Medical Inspection Bill. ,
The Bamberg Herald approves the 1
veto of the medical inspection bill on !
that ground that it does take away
the rights of parents. We would like .
to know just what set of parents
The Herald has in mind. As the rep]
resentative of one set of parents we _
demand that it is our right to be protected
in our homes from the dis<
eases that children are likely to con- '
tract at the schools, and we have no
other than the public school to send
them to, and we watch our little ones
carefully, and send for the doctor at 1
the first alarm of illness, because we J
know that the little constitution is
weak, and that the little lungs or ]
stomach cannot stand much, but an- other
set of parents do not so care- }
fully watch their offspring, for they
are hardy, and the parents believe in <
letting them rub against the world <
when they are young, and the world *
is often dirty and diseased and the (
hardy ones bring the seeds of disease
to the helpless ones in the
school and there are new made
graves on the hillside before the glad (
holiday come, all because the gover
nor thought that a new office was
being created, and that a negro janitor
might be appointed by the school j
board to make one present at the
medical examination of the girl pu- 1
pils, and a too large number of the
members of the house of representatives
of the people thought that the
rights of parents were being infringed
upon! Which set of parents did The
Herald have reference to, those who
this year may be called on to weep ,
over the grave of one more sacrifice
to our criminal carelessness and blind s
and foolish devotion to a fetish that j
the children of our neighbors belonged
to them, and they alone had a right
to control them, no matter how they
executed their trust or regarded the
rights of the community.?Florence

EGGS FURNISH HUMAN SKIN.
Surgeon Claims He Has Succeeded in
Grafting Thin Membrane.
New York, Feb. 25.?Crushed fingers
can be made to grow and wounds
to heal without scars by grafting upon
the injured members the thin
membrane taken from eggs, according
to an article by Dr. Russell Bellamy,
who reports his discoveries in
the current number of the New York
Medical Journal. Dr. Bellamy is a
graduate of the medical college of
New York University. He was in
the city to-day, but left the Hotel
Plaza to go to Washington in connection
with his recent discoveries.
He reports cases where the implanting
of the cells from the inner
skin of the egg upon mutilated fingers
actually caused those members
to grow and to develop healthy tissue.
His article is illustrated with
photographs of negro patients, who,
after sustaining injuries to their digits,
started new growing under the
stimulus of the egg grafting, and now
they have fingers of which the upper
halves are white.
"By the associating of living cells"
writes Dr. Bellamy, "and even with
apparently dead cells, I have been
able to revitalize structures and to
create new tissues, osseous excepted,
up to the time of my first work.
"In order to fructify lifeless, or to
renew lost tissues, the utilization of
a little understood animal substance
proved ideal. It now places itself as
a positive factor, and allows one to do
creative surgery. After satisfying myself
that I had found the necessary
cell, I can state emphatically that
these cells are the realization of the
ideal, and henceforth make creative
surgery possible."
The surgeon declares that his work
is absolutely conclusive, and that in
ao case is it possible to clas&ify the
aew growth as scar tissue.

Sensitive Smith.
Under the head of "Who's Who?
and Why" in the Saturday Evening
Post for Feb. 24 appears an article
iealing with the "Smith Family in
Congress." The writer has divided
congress into two divisions, "the
Smiths and the non-Smiths" in which
tie deals with the five senators by that
Qame. The one of interest to this
particular section is that which deals
with Senator E. D. Smith, of South
Carolina. In reference to this gentleman
the writer says:
"Sensitive Smith is Ellison DuRant
3f South Carolina. And what makes
tiim so sensitive? asks the curious
i
party on my left. The woes of the
common people, dear sir?the woes
of the common people. Possessed
of a tender and sympathetic spirit,
it. causes him great pain to observe
the velvet-shod feet of the criminal
rich treading on the bleeding hearts
of the prostrate poor, as he once observed;
though it is quite apparent
the criminal rich would have achieved
greater results had they worn
hob-nailed shoes. Still, the criminal
rich down in South Carolina probably
wear velvet on their aristocratic
feet. Ellison DuRant weeps bitterly
every time he thinks of the price
of cotton and is esteemed an orator
in his section of the country. Probably
*here is no more sensitive man
in public life than Ellison DuRant?
certainly no more sensitive Smith.
He quivers like an aspen at the mere
mention of any atrocity on the dear
people that may be perpetrated anywhere?and
especially in the cotton
belt. His soul revolts. And when his
soul revolts, his vocabulary resolves."

Anderson, Feb. 26.?According to
returns from three townships of the
county well organized to reduce the
cotton acreage under the Rock Hill

to the pledges submitted to
the central committee the acreage
for 1912 will be 4,077 acres, a decrease
