Thursday, April 1, 1915. ? March business is reported by w most of the merchants to have been g unusually pood. .Many of them j state that the volume of business n f done this year in March was greater r than that of last year. It seems that w despite the war the country has not a yet "gone to the bad." Under the new law. no person can a have shipped into the State more tj than a gallon of intoxicants a month, g Some paper remarked the other day I a that there are four quarts in a gal-! Ion, and that the moon has four quar- ^ ters a montlr. The moon conforms to the new law. but at that gets pretty full once a month. n The new vital statistics law is now j* in effect. The law requires the filing of certificates of deaths and births, and will keep an accurate record of these statistics. Attempts have been ^ * , made for years to have this lawenacted. but it was only at the last j session of the legislature that the W law was finally ratified. The merchants on Main street losej c; hundreds of dollars every year from \ goods being damaged bv dust. This! expense would be saved if Main street} 11 were paved with Jtrick or some other ! 0 permanent material. Of course, it, will be paved some day. but that does; Si not he'n the merchants now. Thisjn does not take into consideration the main reason why the street should be paved?that of benefit to the traveling public. ri Last Sunday was "go-to-church" r< day in Orangeburg. While, of hl course, people ought to go to church fc every Sunday, why not designate a "go-to-church" Sunday in Bamberg? j tl The churches could arrange to have! d' I T especially attractive services, and church members could go themselves 6( and induce their friends to accom- d pany theni. To many people, who a' are not active church workers, going . to church is much of a habit?a s( mighty good one. By inducing nonchurchgoers to attend one service it may cause them to attend regularly, w The Newberry Herald and News w advocates "parsonages" for teachers. w Of course, 'parsonage" is not the 0 wora, UUl lilt: lUt"U i:> siumoi iw Ji'\j | viding residences for "pastors. Itj 1 would seem to be a good idea forj(* the teachers to be provided with j 0 homes, especially in country dis-j^ tricts. so that the teacher and hislw family could become a part of the! . i c community life. It would greatly aid in securing competent teachers and w keeping them. But the Herald and g News does not suggest what to do w when the teachers are not married. p Perhaps- they would all get married. g Truthful Advertising. < If the law required us to put in the things omitted.?
