Thursday, Sept. 16, 1915. se * - Weekly Weather Forecast. hi Issued by the United'States weath- s* \ er 'bureau at Washington, for the *-h ||; ', week beginning Wednesday, Septem- e\ her 15, 1915. 26 For South Atlantic and East Gulf ^ v States: K pc The week will be one of generally St fair weather and relatively high tem^ er peratures, although scattered thun- tj dershowers are probable in coast districts. ' , nc As the millinery and ladies' fur- *th nishing stores in Bamberg are about th the only ones advertising, is it pos- Sc v sible that no other stores are doing in; business? It would seem if these to gentlemen find it to their advantage ag to use the advertising columns of Ge The Herald, other stores would like- by | Vtee find it profitable. dr I ;,. v "Although it reduces my sales good deal, I am glad to see so 'much Ti Home grown flour and wheat pro- atl ducts in Bamberg/' said a traveling tic salesman to a local grocer y ester- j ty flay. He added that when he went mi in,to one of the grocery stores of the jpr< town he found the grooer busy mix- j be: ing wheat bran and other foodstuffs | W< into a hog food, and that it looked iza good him, because it showed^ that 1 wo | the people hereabouts were raising fai , their own pork this year. The wheat W< hog food would last, he quoted the, of 3 grocer as sayiftg, until pindars were ty reajly. When the salesman asked i ha1 the grocer, for an order for lard, he is ; was. told that Bamberg would have I tai .more "grease" than she would know, fa\ what to do with as soon as hog kill- j the ing time rolled around.- j On The Herald today carries an un- j ^ ? ; pec usually attractive line of advertising. | ^ro We hope every one of our readers will read each of the advertisements,. for the advertisers in The Herald to- j f f|:; day have a message for the people-1 5 The advertisements in this newspaW i; P^r are always given a great deal of ^ attention, and" we always endeavor .. to make them attractive. They form ^ one of the most important things ^ ' pgS-.\_ about any newspaper, and ouj* subJ sccibers will mis* ones'of the best fea- . |^: tures of The Herald if they fail to g *ead the advertisements regularly. ^ Kg* It-should be remembered' that adver- ^ tjgpg costs a great dealr and, of a dealer could not afford to his money unless he had some-j of value to offer in the adverU tisv^ment. Therefore it is always to g E' the interest of our subscribers to ? p scan advertisements carefully. The- Herald today announces the Ke IP. inauguration, of a subscription con- l&1 test. The management of The Lai Herald wishes to make it clear that Le, ~ * ? ?i V pvery contestant will be treated witn I entire fairness. The Herald never Ma has and never will recognize anything but the strietness fairness in j^e a contest or anything else. On account of the extremely hard condi- qf tions tht prevailed last fall, a large pi( number of oiar subscribers found rj themselves uaaible to i>ay their sub- ga scriptions, bttfc they asked us to send g^ the paper on. Now we hope that gr - they will promptly send us their re- jjj nevals. The prizes offered by The w Herald in this contest were person- y< ||, ally, selected, and we can guarantee every article to be of genuine value. "We might also add that the manner < in which contest companies and contest managers conduct contests does t( not appeal to us, and for this reason tl no contest company will be associated with us in an^ way in this sub- h Ey scription campaign. h In the city of Bamberg yy electors voted against the continued legal C( sale of whiskey, and 64 registered |t] | their ballots in favor of continued |f - sale. This is a two-thirds vote ^ against the sale of whiskey. The iv ?"UDIlSiiea every l-uiau.-,, ^ tv ' Herald building, on Main street, in Q< the live and growing City of Bamberg, being issued from a printing a; office which is equipped with Mer- tl genthaler linotype'machine, Babcock b: cylinder press, folder, two jobbers, a , " - ~ n Kir ate against whiskey would have een much larger, doubtless, had the )unty prohibition law been enforced ere when the county was supposed ) have been dry. With two-thirds f the voters in the city of Bamberg gainst the legal sale of liquor, will ie flagrant violation of the law by lind tigers be tolerated? Will the vo-thirds sit idly by and witness the unification of the law by the mere andful of people who are willing to ebauch the law by the opening of lind tigers? Let everyone, whether e favor State wide prohibition or ispensary, resolve that blind tigers ill not exist in Bamberg. Promient citizens of the county have exrted strong efforts in behalf of proibition and now consistency will deiand the same efforts in behalf of iforcement of the law. South Carolina on Tuesday by a ecisive vote registered her ballot gainst the legal sale of whiskey, 'hile the vote in the State was not rge, the percentage in favor of :ate-wide prohibition exceeded genial expectation. Early returns incated a possible overwhelming vote gainst the sale of whiskey in every >unty in the State with the excepon'of Charleston, although bare ma- irities in favor of the dispensary ay finally show up in one or two her counties. With the big maioricast against the legal sale of al>hol throughout the State, it would em that there should be no reason r a failure to properly enforce pro- ? bition. Governor Manning, in a atement" after the election, says ( at the law will be enforced. Let ery law-abiding and law-loving citi- ! n of the State give his hearty sup>rt to Governor Manning and the ate and county officials for a strict J iforcement of the prohibition law. lere is a comparative few who do >t believe that prohibition really enrced is the best thing possible for ^ e State and county, and we hope 1 at conditions will never so exist in * ?uth Carolina that other States durg prohibition campaigns may point 1 South Carolina as an example i ainst prohibition, as was done to c jorgia and some other dry States * opponents of prohibition in this s y campaign. '< ? Last -Saturday the Orangeburg j mes and Democrat issued a very tractive twenty-page special edi- r >n, boosting the Orangeburg coun- j fair. The Herald regrets very } ich to have to confess that the j [>spects for a county fair in Bam- r rg this fall are very, very remote, j a had hoped that the fair^organ- ( ,tion would be pushed, and that we ( oild have a creditable display of j m and other products this fall." 3 believe the county fair to be one the best institutions that a councan have. Other countie^ are 1 . ? ring good fairs every year. What the matter with Bamberg? Cernly this county compares most orably with any other coanity in > State in every respect. The mgeburg county fair fs one of the ^ it in the State, and every year the Q >ple come together and! display the ? ducts of the county in a most ad able way. The people of that <n and county take a great deal pride in the county fair, as is atted by the creditable edition of .Times and Democrat. We hope t by alT means the fair project s I be revived in Bamberg aadr i fie it will hardly be possible to < re a' display this fall, we can ar- < ge a fair for next fall, and there < nrf tfmp to work on that i VI. a. The? organization of a county j r here proceeded even as far* as 1 ring the subscription lists printed, " I we believe that one or two snbiptions: were made, but there .it ted. ?
