' m Thursday, March 12,1914. = Administration newspapers anc sympathizers are dumb as ovsten ^ v about tne asylum investigation anc the attempt to blacker^the charactei " of Dr. Saunders, and well thev ma^ be. We see that a number of our contemporaries are carrying an advertisement for an Ohio concern offering rubber tires for sale. We would like to be informed as to how many receive pay for the ad. We asked for cash in advance when the proposition was sent us. We are seriously thinking of making The Herald a semi-weekly newspaper, and will do so if our business men will guarantee sufficient advertising patronage to make the enterprise succeed. A guarantee of sufficient advertising to make the venture not a loss is all we would . want. Bamberg people should entertain the Orangeburg district conference handsomely, and every citizen of the town, regardless of denomination, should co-operate to the end thai delegates to the conference will gc away sounding the praises of Bamberg and its people. A town should strive to have a good reputation, just as the individual. The Herald was one of the weekly papers in the State who turned down the proposition of Jacobs & Co., although their representative called on us twice. The last, time we plainly told him that if it came to such a pass with us that we would be forced to sign such a contract as they ??"lit "f hncinacc that MdlilCU UI gU UUl ui uuaiuvwi, vv.v we wouldn't hestitate, but would close up and quit. N She Waited Ten Minutes. The train was two hours late in reaching Richmond Junction, and when it was discovered there that we must wait another JO minutes for the eastbound express, relates The Pittsburg Dispatch, a young man getting more and more nervous appealed to the conductor with: , "Have you any idea when we shall reach Buffalo, sir?" "Not much, but T hope to make it by 10 o'clock this evening." # "Great Scott! Not until 10 o'clock!" aSked the young man. ' - "It may be half an hour earlier. but I don't count on it. Anything to hurry you?" "I should remark! I was to be married at 7 o'clock!" "And it's after 7 now. Well, I can't help it. You might telegraph that the train is delayed." "I'll have to, but what a mess! The guests will be assembled, the girl in hysterics and her father on his high horse. I wouldn't have had this happen for $1,000." "No? Well run in and telegraph." The young man entered the office and sent a dispatch and just as we were pulling out he received an answer. Several of us had overheard the talk and knew what he was expecting. He read the message twice over and then laid it down on the noor and arranged his overcoat for a pillow and apparently went asleep. Pretty soon the conductor came along and picked up the dispatch and read it. It was signed "Annie," and 1L I CilU . "Waited 10 minutes for you and then married Fred Davis!" "That's hard lines," said the conductor, as he handed the dispatch about, but the young man snored in his sleep and smiled as he snored. .
