Safe and sane characterizes the ac- Ph
tion of the Democratic party during gu
the last few months, commencing fle
with the action of the Natipnal Con- co
vention, and as. result a wonderful an
victory has been won. sa:
Hon. Jno. L. McLaurin has been e(j
spoken of as State Senator from tu]
Marlboro county, to succeed J. B. pa
Green, who died last- week. The rp^
voters of Marlboro could not make us
a better selection for the position. asj
It is time we folks in Bamberg ^y
were getting busy with some movement
for the growth and betterment ^\c
of Bamberg. An organized drainage
movement is one of the many things un
- which should command our atten- *ts
tion. i 0111

The Herald was greatly pleased to
at the nomination of Woodrow Wil- an
son and is more delighted at his elee- wt
tion. He will s:ive the country a Th
wise administration. Much is expect- be
ed of him, and he will not.disap- an
point. be<
p-, ,
Well, old Taft appointed numbers
ma
of Democrats to office in South Carolina,
and he will be pleasantly re- .
membered in this State for his consec
sideration of our people. In fact ^
some folks down here look on him
du
as a pretty good sort of a Democrat. ^
We are surely delighted that liv
Roosevelt and his Progressive party ing
made such a poor showing in South trc
Carolina in the recent election. We Fo
regard the colonel as one of the most .esi
* dangerous men in politics, and we sti
trust he will never again have a posi- let
tion of power. log
the
The people or Bamberg aaopiea
the course of The Herald and voted
against the asylum bond issue. We mf
don't mean that they voted that way ar(
because we said so, but anyway it
makes us feel that we were right pn
when the voters of our own com- no
munity showed that they felt about jec
it just as we did. re]
Judging from many expressions we aC(
have heard recently, the people of ca
Bamberg county are going to vote tn
the dispensary back at the first op- mi
portunity. Many good people who s0
are unalterably opposed to the sale m<
of whiskey are disgusted with our
so-called prohibition, which every
one we believe will admit is an utter le*
farce. Better anything than present us
conditions. Pa
tei
Drainage and good roads are the ho
two most important subjects before
our people. We should also organize
a real estate company, buy a lot
of land, cut it up into small farms, da
build a house on each tract, and sell
it to thrifty white farmers on time, pr
This will do much towards develop- his
ing our county. Plenty of good peo- \v
pie would be ready to buy small po
farms on time, and investment in set
such a company would pay the stock- A1
holders as well as bring in new and tic
desirable population. Just think of
the benefit an $100,000 corporation be
of this character would be to Bam- cu
berg county! an
Did you ever stop to think that
\v parties are started by disappointand
defeated candidates of the old
rties?
Boyd Evans was just as unsuccess1
in the Progressive party as he was
nning in the Democratic primary,
le people of South Carolina took
> measure long ago.
Bamberg is going to grow some
yway, that's sure, but its citizens
n accelerate or retard that growth
st as they choose. What are you
ing for the growth of iBamberg?
Some of the calamity howlers did
t understand how cotton could go
so much just before the election
d they predicted that the price
>uld drop after Woodrow Wilson
.s elected. But the prediction did
t come true. The people all over
3 country were so strongly in his
ror that his success was certain,
d his election will have a good ef;t
on all lines of business.
nsational Aspect of Bedbug Peril.
To the brilliant chemist Verjbitss*
demonstration that bedbugs
tnsmit blood-borne diseases, Dr.
colyn Van Vliet Manning refers in
nedical paper as "the most revolu nary
discovery since Pasteur anunced
the eiology of anthrax.''

dbug lightens the path along
lich science has floundered in
irch of the common mode of trans-j
ssion of acute epidemic disease,
:e the plague, witn wmcn we are
reatened.
The fact that the bedbug, Climex
itularius, is an agent of transmis'n
of bubonic plague was not known
the English speaking world until
ittal, quick professor of biology in
g University of Cambridge, pubhed
in the special plague number
the Journal of Hygiene a transJon
of the experiments of D. T.
rjbitski, a Russian, engaged in rearch
in the laboratory of the Imrial
Institute of Experimental Medne
at St. Petersburg. Verjbitski's
suits were definite, proving that
dbugs fed on animals, dying of
ague communicated the plague to
inea pigs for five days afterward;
as fed on animals dying of plague
mmunicated the plague to other
imals for three days. Verjbitski
y*s in his report:
"These exeriments were conductwith
guinea pigs. The plague culre
was enhanced in virulence by
ssing through several guinea pigs,
e bugs used were Climex lectulari,
which is the usual domestic parIte.
The strong irritation occasioned
its bite is caused by the action of
3 saliva which is injected into the
tund. A bug never inflicts but one
;e, and does not leave the place
til. it has filled itself with blcfod.
i body under these conditions acires
an egg-shaped form. The bedgs,
in series of fifty, were applied
guinea pigs dying of plague and to
area of skin under the thigh
tich had previously been shaved,
e results definitely proved that the
dbug transmits plague and that as
agent of such transmission the
dbug is to be more feared than the
ich-dreaded flea of man and aniils.

It is apt to get into the
inks and satchels of travelers. It

Bullet in Heart 30 Years.
A Swiss gendarme, Gottfri'e*
Fischer, who has "worn" a bullet h
his heart for the last 30 years, ha
just died at Zofingue, in the Cantoi
of Argovie, at his home, at the ag<
of 63?of a cold on the lungs.
At the age of 33, while pursuing ;

criminal, he received a bullet in thi
-heart during the chase, and was tak
en to a hospital in a serious condi
tion.
The doctors did not expect him t<
recover, but Fischer, to their aston
ishment, gradually became well an<
healthy to such a degree that he wa
able to rejoin the police corps an;
carry out his ordinary duties for thi
next 25 years, still carrying the bul
let in his heart, as no surgeon woul<
undertake the dangerous operation o
removing it, which Fischer decline<
to undergo without guarantee.
During the last fews years, how
ever, the gendarme began losini
weight and health, and this week hi
passed away unconscious, withou
pain, and still "wearing" the bulle
in his heart.
