Thursday, Feb. 11, 1915. I
t
Governor Manning is to be highly t
commended in his efforts to elevate v
the standard of the State Hospital t
for the Insane. The governor is seek- t
ing to separate the institution frorp r
politics, -which is a most commenda- fi
ble move. There are at present about I
1,700 persons in the hospital. t
The other day Sears & Roebuck ii
company, a large mail order house of u
Chicago, declared a dividend of h
* twenty million dollars. We wonder
how much Bamberg money was represented
in that "melon." Many of F
our people send their money away to b
mail order houses for things that s
could be bought right at home. When b
you trade at home, and the goods do t
not suit you, you take thein back: o
. and your money stays here in Bam- o
berS- ?
When there is a concern in town f
handling a line, and that concern jj
gives good service, itshould be patron- p
ized by home people. It certainly de- 0
serves as much. Every town needs 0
a laundry. Bamberg was without one 0
for many years, oniy recently a Chi- a
nese laundry was opened here. If this j.
concern does good work, and we be- c
lieve that it does, it should receive p
' the patronage of Bamberg people, j,
S Every new line that'is opened here, j,
no matter by whom, adds business to y
the town, to say nothing of the con- jj,
venience. a
Why not inaugurate a go-to-church *
movement in Bamberg? This is not
much of a church-going place. A
great many of our people prefer to
spend the Sunday hours at home or ^
on tlje streets. There is not a habit ^
in the world better than going to j
/ Church twice on Sunday, or at least
once. Bamberg has good preachers
n'Xrttfnrtohla f?ll II r/?h ?>? and WS
faiiu tuuiiv* ?,uv?v V4. v. V..VW,
daresay that if everybody will make ^
it a rule to spend an hour at each of b
the services at one of the churches
every Sunday, they will enjoy them.
* . n
selves quite as much as staying at
* ' ^ '
: home, and the example they set will
w
fe a good one. Churchgoing is undoubtedly
a habit with many people, ^
and a mighty good one. q
We are glad that city council has t!
taken action on the matter of erect- n
ing a suitable hose house for the fire s
department. It has long been need- S(
ed for the proper protection of the w
apparatus belonging to the depart- "
n;ent, and should have been built long n
r ago. While council is about it, new "
I reels for the hose should be bought. w
T
The present reels are entirely too
heavy for the men to pull to a fire, t!
weighted down with several hundred w
L feet of hose, and they should be trad- 11
F ed and lighter machines, with ball 11
^ bearings, bought. The department f
j should also have some practices oc- ^
casionally. if a fire was to break out
we fear our department would not
be as ready to fight it as it ought to
| \- be. . c

t IT
The road between Denmark and
Ghent's Branch is one of the most
important in the county and is large- ^
ly traveled by automobiles and other
vehicles. It is a wonder that this
/ stream has not been bridged long v
ago. as it is a deep and rather a dan- ^
gerous ford, especially for ladies who
'might be driving spirited horses. It
should be bridged at once, for it can't
of flifc coQcnn nf thp vpar bv
UC uo^rv* etc vino v. V..X _^
automobiles, and as these vehicles not
only pay a regular tax but a special j
registry fee, it seems the owners
should enjoy some benefits from the
money they pay into the county treasury.
We trust the proper authorities
will take the proper steps to have a i
bridge put at this stream without de- t
lay. Such action is due the taxpayers. 1
K
The dread of fire is a constant an
ver-present menace, and Bamberg
ire department should lie in practic
ind ready to get to the scene of
onflagration quick when needed. .
e\v minutes' delay might mean th
lestruction of much property.
There is no better and cheaper wa
>f working roads than with a spl:
og drag: We hope to see the dra
ome into universal use in this com
y. There would be wonderful in
>rOVemeiU 111 our ruaus ill a. ic
nonths if the drag was used svst<
natical'v.
We would like to see our busines
uen take some action in reference t
he fire insurance rates in Bamber?
'here is no question but that we ar
lot getting a square deal from th
Southeastern Tariff association, an
mless we make a fight we will jut
iave to keep on paying the same ol
ates. We are entitled to better rate
nd we should have them, but we wi
lot get them without effort. Wha
ire,we going to do about it?
The road from Bamberg to Der
nark is the most important higlnva
n the county, and is traveled by mor
U t * b rt AMtt /% U />T? WAA/1 f V>
tJIllUies man au.v uuici 1 v><vu
ounty. Above all roads this on
hould be kept in first-class cond
ion. and we trust it will be so kep
ust now it is rather rough and need
craping, which should be done wit!
>ut delay. The weather has been s
iad for the past two months that a
lie roads have gotten in bad cond
ion, and it could not be helped, an
re appreciate the fact that all
hem cannot be worked at once, bu
he more important highways?thos
nost traveled?should have attentio
irst. The road from Denmark t
.ees has not been worked in a Ion
ime, and a little work on this roa
n the low places would be a grea
mprovement. This road has to b
sed a great deal now, on account c
.igh water at Ghent's Branch.
We beg to remind our good frienc
h-ed Wannamaker, of the Orange
>urg Sun, that those bridges h
peaks about are all on the Orange
urg side of the river, and he ough
o get after his county superviso
r commissioner or whatever the titl
f the proper official is over there an
;et them fixed. We Bamberg folk
re always glad to welcome ou
riends from Orangeburg, but it look
ike the road officials don't want th
eople over there to come over her
r the people from Bamberg to g
ver there, as the bridges and roa
n the Orangeburg side of the rive
re always in pretty bad fix, especial
y the road through the swamp afte
rossing that multitude of bridges
rom Cope on to Orangeburg the roai
> good, but back this way it is almos
^passable in wet weather. Get afte
our officials, Fred, and make 'er
uild a good road through that swam]
nd we'll come to see you oftener
nd maybe you'll do the same by us
.lways delighted to see.you over thi
ide.
For some time The Herald has beei
ansidering the question of agitatinj
1 a systematic manner extension o
ie water mains an,d the installatioi
f a sewerage system, but we havi
ot taken up the question extensive
r for the reason that financial condi
ons are such just now that it migh
e difficult to float bonds for thi
urpose, that is it might be a han
latter to sell the bonds if they wen
oted by the taxpayers, and of thi
e have little doubt. But as soon a
ossible this work must be done i
am berg is to grow and prosper
ther towns smaller than this havi
lese facilities, and Bamberg wil
ever be as healthful a town as i
hould be until we have a complet
swerage system. The sooner thos<
ho have property interests her
ealize this the better. Bamberg wil
ever be much of a town until wi
et faeilities and. conveniences her
hich will attract new population
'his is plain talk, but it is absolutl
rue. Then, too, a sewerage systen
ould make Bamberg a much mor
ealthful town and would do mucl
0 dissipate the idea that people awa
rom here have as to its being an un
ealthy spot.
