Communications?We are alwaj glad to publish news letters or thos pertaining to matters of public intei est. We require the name and a< dress of the writer in every cas* No article which is defamatory c offensively personal can find place i our columns at any price, and we ai not responsible for the opinions ?: pressed in any communication. Thursday, October 29, 1914 Every voter in Bamberg count should carefully read the notices c election, on another . page of Tli Herald this week. There are quit a number of constitutional amenc ments to be voted on, and every on should cast an intelligent vote eitlu for or against the amendments. The Newberry Observer is-oppose to any amendment to the constiof tion. on the ground that if the cot stitution is to be patched up ever year or two. it would be better t call a constitutional convention t write a new constitution. It doc seem somewhat one-sided for th State to pay out several thousan UOUcU> ill Uiutri tuai a i"? may vote more bonds than the coi stitution allows?often the sum ii volved is very little more than costs the State to change the const tution. The bill introduced in the hous by Messrs Miley and Hunter, whic abolishes .the dispensary constable in this county, has passed hot . branehes of the general assembly an ?l T been signed by the governor. Thi bill removes the constables from th county November l6t, and no mor constables will be sent here unles requested by the county dispensar beard. The Herald published th bill last week. We are delighted a the action -f our legislative ielegs tion, and we feel sure the taxpayer will appreciate it. There never ha ' been any use for the constables i this county, and they were a useles expense. The Herald takes great pleasur in congratulating Senator J. B. Blac on his vote against the proposed col ton bond issue. Hi was one of thre senators who had the courage t vote against it, and we heartily com mend his stand in the matter. W feel sure that other senators^efc jus as he did, but were afraid for thei political scalp. To our mind th scheme is absolutely indefensibl from every standpoint, and will b of no assistance whatever to th nnnr man Tn fact the nnor man th small farmer, has already sold hi cotton as a rule. However, we hav no idea that the house will pass th bill, and even if they should (ther is no telling what a.South Carolin legislature will do) it must be sut * mitted to the people, and we fee sure that they will defeat it by a tre mendous majority. In the next week or two Th Herald proposes to take up the mat ter of extending the water mains an putting in a sewerage system fo Bamberg. True, business condition at present are not favorable for th selling of bonds that would have t be issued for this purpose, but i will take some time to perfect a arrangements for the issuance of th bonds and by that time possibly f nancial conditions will improve. Thi is too important a matter- for tli town to put off, and as there are n legal obstacles in the way of issuin bonds for this purpose, we shoul take this long step forward for th health of the town, as well as il progress and growth. We might j well admit that people who are n< familiar with Bamberg have an ide that it is not a healthful town, o * account of its location, and we kno of nothing that would be of mot benefit than a sewerage system. 1 the articles we expect to publisl practically definite figures as to tli cost of these improvements will t given as well as other informatio which will no doubt be of interest. genthaler linotype machine, Babcoc cylinder press, folder, one jobber, fine Miehle cylinder press, all run t electric power with other materij and machinery in keeping, the whol equipment representing an inves ment of $10,000 and upwards.

Some dozen members were all scrambling for recogni= tion at the same time. Order was ie restored after a time by some memhers appealing to the belligerent ig members to remember the infirmities r- of the speaker pro tern, who is a paralytic.

English service. s, If the German hymns were banned, s- the English hymnal would be depriv? ea of some of its oldest and most r_ popular numbers. Luther's famous 1- version of the 46th psalm, "A Sure S Stronghold our God is He." would 5 be perl aps the most regretted of all ,*s excisions. Other familiar numbers ?e of German origin are. "Hark, the J" Herald Angels Sing." "Sun of my e Soul, my Savior dear;" "Christ >r whose Glory fills tire Skies:" "As n with Gladness .Men of Old:" "Christ ? th$ Lord has risen again:" "We plough the Fields and Scatter;" = "Hail to the Lord's Annointed:" "Oh Happy Land of Pilgrims^" and "Com_ mit Thou all Thy Ways." Lutheran hymns are popular not j only in uie wesiejau .mciuuuioi church, which is allied to Lutheranie ism. but also in the Church of Engl_ land, which regards itself as a part of the ancient Catholic church and M. not a part of the reformation. Since the Wagner nights excite as much enthusiasm as ever in the Queen's Hall concerts, it is not believed that the agitation against Gerl~ man hymns will find a strong followl~ ing. y m o IXCJIEASK SHOWN IN COTTON. ;o ,s Number of Hales Turned Out to Octoie ber 18th 4,218,929. (j Washington. Oct.. 2f>.?The depresn sion in the cotton trade' has had no i_ effect upon the ginning of this year's j_ bumper crop, which is indicated as the country's second in point of proj_ duction. In fact, ginning was more active during the period from September 25 to October IS this year than ever before, 4,216,920 bales >6 having been einned. against 4,082, 027 bales ginned in that period in | the record crop year of 1911. ^ Up to October IS there had been ginned 7,610,683 bales, the census j bureau announced today. This com6 | pares with 6,973,518 bales last year 6 and 7,758,621 bales in 1911. 5S Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi had ginned more cotton to October 1S than ever before to that date. The third cotton ginning report of the season, compiled from report? of census bureau correspondents and agents throughout the cotton beit and issued at 10 a. m. today, anS nounced that 7,610,682 bales of cotton, counting round as half bales, of the growth of 1914 has been ginned e prior to October 18. This compared k with 6,973,518 bales, or 49.9 per cent of the entire crop, ginned prior e to October 18 last year, 6,874,206 o h'.ioc nr'ni ner cent, in 1912, and 7,758,621 bales, or 4*9.9 per cent, in e 1911. The average quantity of cotton ginned prior to October IS in r the vast seven years was 6.1S2.4S1 e bales or 4S.S per cent, of the crop. e Included in the ginnings were 15,e 239 round bales, compared with 49,e 030 last year, 41,745 in 1912 and e 53.858 in 1911. s Sea island cotton included numbere ed 30,078 bales, compared with 31.e 139 bales to October 18 last year. 15,e 960 bales in 1912 and 40,303 bales a in 1911. >- m ;l Cotton Accepted for Fine. ;- Judge George E. Prince, of this city, has a remarkable intellect, and he usually hits the bull's eye on e time in his decisions, and in his utt terances on public questions. E^ervd one is familiar with his clear-cut ir and logical conclusions on the com is mon school system in the State, and e the duty of a parent towards his o children in the matter of giving them it educational advantages. Many a 11 charge to the grand juries of the e courts over which he has pre^ded i- will be remembered long after his is honor has ceased to preside over the e courts of the State. Now lie comes o out with a brand new idea, and in g keeping with the buy-a-bale raoved ment, one which will undoubtedly be ie novel in its application. Over in Sats luda a man was convicted of assault is and battery and fined ?100 by Judge I >t | Prince. The defendant's counsel j :aj complained that their client was a! n! poor man/and had to depend on the wI sale of his cotton to pay the debt.) e | Judge Prince immediately announced n: that the court would accept 1,000 n. pounds of cotton in lieu of the fine. ie It is still undecided what effect this >e will have on the crimes of Saluda m county in the future.?Anderson Intelligencer. x VALl'K OF SMITHS. Salesgirls Taught to Cultivate Vocal ulai-y and Pleasant Voice. The money value of a smile and pleasant voice is being taught in most convincing manner to voun women clerks of Milwaukee in sale: manship classes recently establishe in the city continuation school, a institution which is attracting sue wide attention that its methods an results are being investigated by vi: iting delegations of educators froi New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Ch cago, Indianapoli6, St. Paul, Minm apolis, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Clevi land. Detroit and other cities, eve those as far west as the Pacif coast. "Always greet your customer wit a smile and wait upon him or h< pleasantly and cheerfully." ""increase your vutauuiaii. .>ev? use the everlasting question, 'Somi thing in hats?' or 'Something i towels?' as the case may be." "Cultivate a low, pleasing tone < voice." "Be well informed, especially o current events. Be able to tal about something else than where yo were the night before." This is the essence of the cree that is winning increased salarit for Milwaukee clerks, several recei advances in the weekly stipend bein directlv traceable to the work don r in the salesmanship classes of tfc continuation school, conducted undt the State law. On certain days each week one ( the assistant instructors in the sale: manship classes spends several houi behind the counters in the varioi stores which are cooperating wit the school, noting the various pro! lenis with which the clerk has to coi tend and getting practical knowledg of selling. Three times each week Mrs. J Englert, head of the department, le< tures to the saleswomen in the thre department scores that are giving tli heartiest cooperation. Any problen presented by the clerks are solved i the class room for the benefit of a the girls. Instruction as to how to dress : also part of the course. A recent le: son on colordn general was followe by a discussion of the effect of sul dued and intense colors, and th girls were finally taught the artist; value of dressing in subdued color, with only a touch of the intense co or to" give contrast. But above all things the girls ai taught to j)e pleasant. "We aim to teach these girls th value of service," said Mrs. Engler "The three big points that we en phasize are to greet the custome with a smile, to increase the vocal ularv and to cultivate pleasin tones. We try to instill into th girls that a customer will never b cross if the person behind the coui ter smiles and is pleasant. We teac store spelling, English and arithnn tic, citizenship, commercial geogrj phy and hygiene; tnis ianer is prat tically sex hygiene. "The class work is supplemente with lectures and with visits to th public library and museum and var ous mills. Discussions of currer events are also a part of the genert instruction. We want the girls t have something to talk about beside where they went the night befon Our aim is to awaken the girls t realize the opportunities that are b( fore them. "The managers of the various d( partments continually tell us of th great improvement in their salesgirl and in the amount of their sales in 6hort time after they have entere these classes. One of the manager tells how a customer appeared at counter with four small dining rooi pictures in her hand costing 25 cent each. The girl, remembering the ir cho htJ/1 rpppivert onlv day before and thinking she woul put it to the test, took the picture! but added: 'I should like to show yo our latest pictures which we hav just got in.' The outcome of the suj gestion was that her sales were $2 instead of $1." Salesmanship is taught by pract cal demonstrations. The followin is a typical scene in one of the clasi es: One of the young women went int the cloak room, put on her hat, too an umbrella and walked into th shop, which was a long table pile with gingham and white aprons. Th customer was of the silent type. Sh walked up to the counter, haule over the aprons, opened seven looked them over sullenly, sayjn nothing. She went down to the bottom c a pile and disarranged the aprons o top until she came 10 one wnicn sn opened up and tried on. After loot ing at almost every apron on th counter she went away, saying tha she did not see a thing she wantet All the while the clerk, smilingl and in pleasant manner, tried t make a sale. The other members c the class took notes to use in the dis cu6sion which followed. The spiri of criticism was friendly. The ai mosphere of the class was pla THK COM HOT PLACE. >- Thermometer 1 flops to Eighty llelov Zero at Verkhoyansk, Si!?eria. a Tiie Siberian natives of the vas a Siberian province of Yaktask, ex g tending clear into the Arctic ocean s- in the section around Verkhoyansk d dwell in what is probably the earth': n coldest region. Here the soil i; h eternally frozen for hundreds of fee ;d downwards and the mercury oftei s- records SO degrees below zero. A m the height of summer only a yard o i- unfrozen soil veneers the admixturi a- of earth and ice, affording foothoh e- for the gray tundra moss and oc n casional patches of bilberry, dwar ic willow and grass. Though the spot is dignified b; h having its name on the map and i ;r usually referred to as a town, it i: more correctly a straggling village o ;r Yakut yurtas, or semi-undergroun< e- huts, and a few one-story cottages n inhabitated by Russian administrat ive officials. >f For ten months the country is < dreary trackless sea of snow. Dur in ing the brief summer thaw of tw< k months the tundra, as the open coun u try is called, is an impassable swamp The chief possessions of the na d fives are reindeer, dogs and a breet is of very robust ponies. Through tin it long winter the reindeer and pome: g subsist on the moss beneath th( te snow, which they dig up with thei ie hoofs. ;r Most of the natives live in "yur tas." crude wooden huts, the slopin; if walls of which are covered with ; s- thick layer of turf and stones. Fo: *s window '"glass" they use ox blad is ders in summer and sheets of thicl h glass of poor quality in winter j- Along the walls inside the dwellinj l- run low nares, or benches, that serv< ;e as seats by day and beds by night. The yurta is divided into tw< L parts. To the right, as you enter > are the quarters of the women, chil ?e dren and cattle; to the left dwel ie the men.

Sometimes the trappei ie knows before hand where the anima t. is to be found, but as a rule, he ii l- guided by the tracks of the squirrel ir Squirrels undertake very wide jour y- neys in search of their favorite ceda: g nuts and other food, so that occasion e' ally there is a veritable migration o >e the animals, and the sables follov i- them. The trapper is warned of tin h presence of sable by the dog, whicl J- drives the quarry up a tree. Th< i- trapper proceeds to set a fine horse I- hair net all around the tree at a dis tance of'20 to 30 yeards. The trap d per and his dog then withdraw to i e little distance.

Injections of morj phine were my only relief for short periods of time. I became so sick ! that I had to undergo a surgical ope! ration in New Orleans, which bene; fited me for two years. When the | same pain came back one day I was ; so sick that I gave up hopes of living. A friend advised me to try your Swamp-Root and I at once commenced using it. The first bottle did me so much good that I purchased two more bottles. I am now on my second bottle and am feeling like a new woman. I passed a gravel stone as large as a big red bean and several small ones. I have not had the least feeling of pain since taking your Swamp-Root and feel it my duty to recommend this great medicine to all suffering humanity. Gratefully yours, MRS.
