I The advertisements form one of
a the most interesting parts of a newsI
paper. Most people read the adver|
tisements and profit by them. If you
fy'"' are not reading the ads in The
Herald,, you are missing something.
|Ef In the advertisements the merchants
&V tell you something, tell you where
fc you can get something of value. And.
|p-. Mr. Merchant, remember, if you
haVe something to tell the people?
I' . and you must have or you would go
oat of business?there is no better
tfc way to tell it than by advertising in
this newspaper. This is a home pa^
per for home people. A large part of
the people who subscribe for The
h Herald read no other newspaper, so
[ if you have a message for home peol
x pie, use The Herald's advertising columns.
K' We do not think it wise or just to
H.-: ,impugn the motives of the former
governor of Georgia for saving Leo
J . Frank's neck. But who is prepared
-to say that if Frank had been a poor
a man a man in the or
P? dinary walks of life, he would ,
I not have gone to the gallows?
"Frank's money and influence brought
I him country-wide publicity. This
IT publicity, or notoriety, brought him (
fct' much sympathy, and caused many
influential persons to take an interest
in his case. Without all this farel;;
reaching influence being brought to
bear, in all probability the man
would have been tried, convicted and
? executed. We believe in treating
' everybody alike, most especially in
f the courts. The man who cannot
? read isxentitled to as much sympathy
when he gets into trouble as the mil? "
' lionaire.
If a split-log drag association were
in active operation in this county
t1' practically every mile of public road
||iv in the county could be dragged when
necessary. We do not know the miler
age of roads in the county, but the
cost of dragging would not be great.
Of course it would not be necessary.
after the roads were dragged a few
f times, to go over them oftener than
I once a month, or such a matter?pert
haps not so often. But the point is.
after a heavy rain a split-log drag
will repair the roads quickly and eff
, ficiently. It is not possible for the
.. chain gang or the floating gangs to
go over every road just when it
. needs work. By the thorough or?
ganization of an association of this
kind, the farmers residing along the
I, public roads would be employed to
I use their teams to drag the roads
I when necessary.
[ If you are in the habit, dear sub>
scriber, of ordering your wants from
that mail order house catalogue you
f keep on your table, just remember
this: In thfs season of the year
when there is very little money in
i>
v circulation, you don't send your order
away, asking that the mail order
iouse give you a little time to pay
for it, to wait until you pick out that
first bale of cotton. No: you don't
think of doing it. You hitch up old
8 Bobbin and drive to town, and ask
K your home merchant to do the crediting.
Well, it is' possible that you
& pay him just a little more than you
H would pay your mail order house.
R But if the goods are not satisfactory.
V you bring them back to him, and he
exchanges them with pleasure, or reM
r
funds your money if _you wish. !f
you would all spend all your money
with Bamberg merchants, they would
be able to do more business, carry
Iarser and better stocks. And his
profits would be spent here in town.
The town would be more prosperous,
and in turn a portion of the same
money you spent with him would
ome back to you.

WORLD'S GREATEST?1 BUYERS.
French Women Get Full Value for
Their Money.
Last week on Friday, Germaine
and her mother went to Des Grands
.Magasins aux Galeries Lefayette to
buy handkerchiefs, says the Pictorial ,
Review. They found them at sixty
centimes, which is 12 cents. "It is .
too much," said her mother. "We ,
will come next Friday when perhaps .
they will be forty-five centimes." ,
And it matters not how many Fridays
they must come. They will not buy
until they find handkerchiefs at for- ^
ty-five centimes. There is needed a j
yard and a half more of silk to finish j
the dress they are making for Ger- (
maine. The silk was bought at a .
special sale and the clerk intorms .
them that the piece has now been put ]
back in stock. Ah, so? Then they t
will watch the sales until it is again ,
reduced. They can wait. I
For they are French women, the (
closest buyers in the world.. Not t
even at a bargain sale does a woman
of this race lose her head. She goes t
about it with steady nerves and a (
calm purpose. The Bon Marche or .
the Galeries Lafayette or any other ^
department store that wants her ,
trade, must according to custom, j
send to their patrons several days in t
advance a leaflet announcing the r
price of what they are offering on s
the. onunters. At home then, and in f
cold blood, without any hysteria, the! t
shopper will go carefully over the j
list and check off what she may wish (
to buy, a tablecloth, corsets, a pair
of gloves, whatever else she decides
she needs. Then when she reaches (
the store, she can walk down aisle (
after aisle, bargains to the right of j
her. bargains to the left of her, bar- (
gains on the floor above her, with a \
singleness of purpose that see6 noth- j
ing but what she came for. And she \
purchases nothing else. Is she not j
wonderful, this French woman? She (
buys only what she needs. ,

FIKLI) OF TROV TODAY.
liy A Modern Homer Near The Dardanelles.
This war. with all its stupendous
episodes, can have presented to the
eye ot' an onlooker few more stupendous
and fascinating pictures than
that vision which I have been privileged
to have every day of fate from
a mountain top on the island of Imbros.
To have a bird's-eye view of great
and important military and naval operations
combined under modern
conditions is a new experience for
the war correspondent: the working
together of an army and a lieet of
such dimensions as those employed
in the battering down of Turkey's
last defences will stand out as a
unique feature of a world-wide struggle.
Imagine the picture. From my
point of view, a great part of the
Gallipoli peninsula, past that section
over which the operations range, lies
spread out before me like a giant re
lief niap. In front stretches the radiant
"wine-red sea" of which Homer
sang, a glorious ocean, dotted with
rocky islands, which appear to be
steeped generally in a marvellous
purple haze. Down upon these shining
waters look the gaunt, yellow
rough-hewn heights, clothed but irregularly
in green, of the Gallipoli
peninsula.
It is a rugged, grim, unlovely land,
lonely looking. Gaunt cliffs face the
sea; huge precipices are cut out of
the yellow sandstone of the mountain
sides: sandy ridges run in all
directions. But this forbidding land
has a curious moment of picturesqueness
in its day.
That is when the rays of the westering
sun drive away its monotone
and light up its features strangely,
almost into beauty; when the still,
thin curiously-stirred clouds of late
afternoon flame with all the gorgeouscoloreding
which has made the
Mediterranean and its sister, the
Aegean so famous for evening beauty.
The yellow precipices of the peninsula
are brilliantly gilded; the tex;ure
of its rugged spaces is made
:lear, and they stand out boldly
against the freshened green of trees
ind herbage. Its pathetic little villages
glitter brightly for a. little ?
their windows and white walls almost
like so many heliographs?before
the quickly advancing shadows
)f the peaks of far-off islands curiam
them.
But it is only for a few minutes
hat the peninsula lies so beautifully
dear against the piled-up dark background
of the mountains of Asia
Minor, heights toned down to dark
?ray by the haze of distance and of
lattle. In -between the brightness of
he peninsula landscape and the dullless
of the classic mountains which
saw Troy's warfare, i? threaded the
'amous waterway, the Dardanelles,
low in sight, a ribbon of deepest
)lue, now hidden behind those ridges
>f doom and victory.
Such is the landscape in the parti:ular
region of our world-war. Bui
ine scarcely notices its evening beauy
or takes any interest in its fea:ures
as a landscape. There is a
leet and an army in the picture. The
might lig-ht before the sunset is utilzed
to pick out the positions and
noves in a fierce struggle against the
iesperate remnant of a fated em
lire. Right round the most sou?hjrn
pa^rt of the peninsula, up the
straits, and down the Asiatic coast,
warships are spurting forth fire and
smoke, battering thunderously away
it the land with great and deadly
shells. The landscape is disfigured
ivith huge pillars of dust and fumes
?the tremendous devastation caus?d
where the shells strike.
High overhead aeroplanes skim
noisily; a baby dirigible, directing
'he warships' fire, makes a splash of
?old against the light blue of the
sunny sky.
On the sea submarines leave a
thin thread- of white: torpedo boats
dash along in all directions?how
they must enjoy "the game!"?at
high speed. Transports, ships of
hope, and hospital ships, with their
load of suffering, come and go. At
times the blue of the ocean is disturbed
by tall, white pillars: these
mark the spot where the enemy's
shells fall into the sea. Answering
guns flare and smoke.
Beyond the sea the land battlearea
is strangely fascinating. Tiny
clouds, born in a flash of orange light
are sprinkled about in the upper air:
from them the deadly shrapnel has
rained fiercely down. Faint tracks,
which are roads, are to be seen and
occasionally a cloud of dust can be
observed moving along one of them.
That denotes the flight or the advance
of artillery. A battleship notices
the movement, and. if the guns
belong to the enemy it pits death
from miles away into that dust cloud:

few minutes the thick smoke-clouds
obscure everything; under them a
tragedy is quickly played out; one
can imagine the wreckage and death,
horror lying hidden there. Then the
smoke clears away. There is no
sign of movement; the enemy has one
mobile battery the less.
Yonder lies a thin, scarcely discernible
white line; it is where the
infant:}* lies entrenched, battling
hard, the assisting shell screaming
loudly overhead. The faint rattle of
their musketry and their maximguns*
is just heard across the waters.
Such is the impression to be obtained
from the Imbros heights of
the stUDDorn wanare uu mc p^uiusula
where the men of four continents
are deciding the fate of an empire.
Day after day the struggle
goes on with varying vigor; the
darkness is luridly illuminated by
the searchlights' great white fingers
and by the flaming of scores of guns.
Sbmetimes whole valleys become like
rivers of fire, so fierce is the land
cannonade. The air of the huge
| night trembles and the very earth at
times seems to shake the reel.
But it is when one directs one's
gaze farther south, to the mountainous
region lying beyond the entrance
to the Dardanelles, that the struggle
takes on an added interest and a peculiar
fascination. For that part of
the great battle-racked region is perhaps
the most interesting classic
gound in the world. It is strange,
indeed, to watch what is being donej
at that particular spot, to look
Out across.

and to think that, where Hector and

lool*ed down. There right in front'
of its blazing guns and darkened bv!
theig smoke is the low coastline nearj
which once in that epic age rode the i
thousand proud ships of Greece
bringing Agamemnon himself.
Beyond the Yeni Shehir ridge,
where village and tomb have their
sites, and within view of our sailors
on their ships, lies the famous Plain
of Troy. Through it flows the Scamander
river of old, in present days

the Simois river, its branches circling
lazily round Hissarlik * Hill,

Simois joined its waters with those
of the Scamander, but like the Nile,
time has seen it change its channel,
and now it rolls separately and slowly
into Erengeui Bay's wide stretch
of waters.
Often the Turks race their mobile
