Thursday. Feb. 18, 1915. ?
il
What about going to church next K
Sunday morning and taking some a
one else with you? Think about it. i5
a
If you the owe The Herald, we n
wish to remind you that we need n
the money. We have to pay cash w
for expenses and nothing else will n
fill the bill exactly. S(
We understand that the finances "
of the city are at a low ebb just now,
but taxes will soon be coming in.
when some much-needed street im- .
provement will be done. ](
We hear of three candidates for f,
mayor, but for aJderman.rdlurdluu
mayor, but none for aidermen so far.
c<
This is a thankless job in Bamberg.
, and it is no wonder that most of
our citizensship fight shy of it. .
Governor Manning will make a n
fine governor we feel sure, but he
is certainly not getting much help t]
from his legislature. That body has
not made a brilliant record so far, 11
and, to be entirely frank, we do not 11
look for much improvement over for- h
mer general assemblies. It may do
better next year, and it is to be t!
hoped so. '
n
It's either mud or dust on Main t(
street all the time. Would that it w
could pe paved. We believe city **
cotincil would look with favor on a
proposition to pave this street provided
the- property owners would as- l,
sist. It would not be such a burden
> if the property owners 011 each side
of the street would bear two-thirds \
of the expense and the "city a third.
Here is a matter which some live and
patriotic citizen ought to take up
.and push.
The matter of street paving, ex- \
, tension and a sewerage system, better
insurance rates and fire protection
are all" matters which should b
have the attention of our citizens, but
we are all too busy wi^h our own 7
Jffairs or too selfish to take much
iterest in public affairs, matters
which are of vital interest to every ^
citizen of the community. Yet we
go on seemingly content with pres- \\
ent conditions,' not caring whether
there is any growth and development
of the town. T
The Barnwell county delegation
V
is trying to get a bill through the
legislature asking that at tne pronibition'election
next fall the people
of that county vote on the proposition
to levy a tax of three mills on ?
real and personal property for the
' T
building of permanent roads. We
trust that Bamberg county's representatives
will have Bamberg included
in the idea if it can be gotten
through this time. There will be no
expense attached to holding such an j(
election, as the prohibition electon .
is already provided for. and the two
propositions are so far apart that ^
there is no likelihood of getting them
mixed or one interfering with the
other. If the taxpayers don't want
to levy the tax they can vote against
it. but we firmly believe Bamberg
would vote for such a levy provided
the proper restrictions were thrown
around the spending of this fund. It ^
' ?would be our idea to put such a fund V(
in the hands of a highway conimission
who would serve without salary,
this commission to be appointed by t|
the governor, to be composed of our
very best business men and patriotic
citizens, men who would build per
inanent roaus aiiu wueie me> ?cic
most needed, without regard to politics.
Permanent roads would bene- s
fit everybody in the county, and
would do much to enhance the value'
of farm lands and make life in the d
country a great deal more pleasant. It
>
Senator Black informed us this
reek that a small levy would he put
n the supply bill for this county for 1
he purpose of improving our roads, ,
r rather building permanent highrays.
This special tax will not be
nore than one mill, although the
imount had not been definitely de
ided on when He taiueci to us. ,
:ood thing. We only wish it were
nore. Bamberg county needs nothng
more than good roads, and money ,
pent for this purpose benefits every l
lerson in the county.
Patrons and friends of the College
or Women all over the State and
lsewhere will learn with regret of ?
lie resignation of, .Miss Euphemia '
lcClintock as president of that in- 1
titution. Under her wise and ener- ,
etic management there has been no i
iner college for women anywhere in '
he South, and for Southern women, 1
nd the atmosphere has been ideal
or the development of the highest ype
of Southern womanhood. As
patron of the institution and as a '
itizen of tue state we ueepi\ reret
that she has decided to severe
er connection.
Bamberg people have never been
onspicuous in the matter oi church j
oing. and yet a large majority of her <
itizenship are members of some <
hurch. It has been said for the '
umber of its population there are
lore non-church-goers in Bamberg ,
han any town in the State. This '<
lay or may not be true, but certain (
: is that there are many people in .
lamberg who do not go to church, j
nd we have often wondered why it '
5. There is one reason we can give, 4
nd while it may not be pleasant to <
lanv who do go to church, it is
evertheless true. Many people
ould no doubt go to church who do
ot now if they were invited to do (
o by others, those who are promi- ]
ent members of the various churches
ere. Bamberg is in some respects j
selfish town, and it would be a <
ood thing ff some of those who pro- (
jss to be followers of the meek and
)\vlv Jesus would enlarge their scope .
nd take some interest in others. ]
low many strangers who come to <
Jam berg receive any sort of wel- J
ome from church people? Or how (
lany people who live here have you f
sl-ed to come to church in the last 1
ix months? We need more broad- J
ess and liberality, numan syiupaiu*
' you please, and there is no better
ime to start than now. The people
) start a go-to-church movement ai^
lie members of the churches, and (
ley should not only go themselves j
ut they should invite others and ,
len endeavor to make them feel that ^
lev are welcome when they do come,
t may seem improper for a secular
ewspaper to indulge in this kind of
ilk. but it is literally true, every
ord of it, and we migljt as well say
. Possibly it may do some good.
Under Harvest Moon.

On bounteous fields of grain,

Along the shady lane.

Of danger lurking nigh.

And armies pass their way.

The moon is shining bright.

With faces ghastly white.

A broad street business man was

i a certain dreary district of Jersey.
"Why do you live there, anyow?"
he asked.
"So as to save money."
"Is food any cheaper?"
"On the contrary, it is slightly

"How do you save. men.
