ft is inspiring to read of a church
in Spartanburg being built in one
day. The undertaking showed a most
commendable spirit.
After the disastrous fire two months
ago, the Union Times is back in its
own building, with a new press, a
new folder, and a new linotype. Congratulations.

for a clean town. Cleanliness means
health, so everybody should co-operate
to make Bamberg a clean town.
No corporation lawyer should be
elected to the legislature. Had it not
been for attorneys in the general assembly
many laws for the better protection
of the public would have been
passed long ago, and these same attorneys
were employed by the railroads.
The county convention held last
Monday did not discuss the question
of putting the officers of the county
on a salary basis, all fees to go to
the county, but the issue is bound
to be a live one before the campaign
in this county is over. Mark our
prediction.
Now that the railroads have refused
to carry out the reasonable
regulations adopted by the legislature
as to mileage books, the general assembly
at its next session should
pass a flat two cents mileage rate and
enforce it. The railroads should be
brought to terms. They are getting
entirely too much in the habit of doing
their own way, regardless of the
people or the laws.
Hon. Jas. F. Byrnes is making a
fine record in congress. He succeeded
in getting together all of the members
who had offered good roads
bills, and now the house has passed
the postoiiice appropriation bill which
carries from $16,000,000 to $18,000,000
for good roads. We hope
to see a lot of this money come into
the second district in the next few
years for good roads, and it only remains
with our people as to whether
it shall.
In writing of the meeting of the
State Press Association at Spartanburg
next month and a trip over the
? ~ ~ 'X T-* - 1 3 ? 1 r*
<J., U. & V-?. Kauruau, nit; *jriecu?wu
Index states that the association took
a trip over this same road two years
ago at a cost of $17.50 for each person,
and this year the rate will be
$15.00. The Index is in error. The
rate on the trip two years ago was
$12.00 for each person, and why it
should be $ 15.00 this year we cannot
understand.
This matter of working the roads
only bears out what The Herald has
been contending for for years, that is
greater publicity in our county affairs.
There should be a monthly reportf
rom the Supervisor's office
showing every act of the board and
what every dollar was expended for.
Had this plan been in force possibly
there would have been less criticism
of the county board, at least the tax
payers wouia nave kiiuwu exacuj
how and where the money was spent.
Our legislators should pass a bill
providing for the publication of full
reports from all county officials.
There should be a monthly report
from the magistrates as to fines collected
and the cases stated, in fact
a full financial report from every officer.
There was some opposition in th
county convention to the resolutio
of Mr. Mayfield in regard to Senate
Tillman, and the resolution passe
by a small majority, the vote bein
17 to 25. Some opposed the resoh
tion for one cause or another, not a
having the same grounds of oppos
tion.
The county convention set a goo
example to the Democrats of Ban
berg county. While there were di
ferences of opinion, there was n
friction. While the campaign in th:
county is bound to be interesting, 1<
it not be bitter. We all have to liv
together here after it is all over, an
our regard for each other should b
greater than any political issue.
We notice from the program c
the State Press Association that ther
are twelve subjects assigned t
members on-which to prepare pt
pers. We hardly see how these pg
pers can be read in one day, and w
fail to see why the meeting of th
association should have been shori
ened to only one day. The meeting
have never been less than two day<
and it seems to us that a serious mis
take has been made.
Train Derailed Near Columbia.
Columbia, May 7.?A score o
more of persons were injured whe
train No. 31, on the Southern Raii
way, from Washington to Jacksor
ville, was derailed about three mile

dozen children. She was badl

Monday's Conventions.
t
i- From the report of the county
? ventions, it appears that the frf
c of Judge Jones will control the S
t- convention by a large majority,
's that the delegates will favor W
3? row Wilson for president. In n
>- counties no contests were made,
even in those counties a majorit
the delegates to the State conven
are said to favor the candidac;
Judge Jones. Blease carried ?
r berry solidly, and a delegation ol
11 friends was selected. In Dorc
ter, Lee, and Laurens Blease (
l" gates were elected, and in Cha
s ton and Georgetown there were
L* tests and two conventions were 1
e These counties will each send

Charleston Mayor Grace took ch

'' sition, with J. W. Barnwell as cl
a man, held a convention as well

ventions is an index to the poli

situation in this State, the gove

money for starting a new
bank.
Stone was rewarded with $1.
