Thursday, January 27, 1916!
It appears that it would be a good
investment for sonter person with
spare money to erect some nice, mod3',
ern cottages, built to rent for a modest
rental. We uunderstand that
there is considerable demand for residences
of this character in Bamberg.
The road drag has been used to
fgood advantage on the city's streets
lately. It is wonderful how much
work can be accomplished by
'this simple implement. A good drag
fe will do as much work as several
hands, and-will do the work much
better. /
The candidates are coming forward
right along now. This week
The Herald has the fifth announce*
"*"1 ? ^ ?\f Ann rt I
f ment ior tH6 U1I1LC Ui Lici n ul wua w* |
fI From the present indications the
giv. "woods will be full" of candidates
summer. Come on in, boys, the
? water is fine. Get in the game early
and stay late; that's the idea.
4 Again The Herald wishes to remind
Its readers that a charge is made for
advertising any kind of entertain?
ments where an admission is charged
or where anything is sold to raise
money. We do not wish to offend
* *- V*
H auy-one, but we wish it understood
that if such notices are published in
The Herald they must be paid for. I
& :y Our readers are asked not to send
fin notices of this character unless
, they expect to pay for them.
? -
. i * According to the news dispatches,
there will be no increases in the salaries
of State officers this year. This
3^- is no timd to talk about increasing
/ \ anybody's salary. With the announced
determination to keep down ex<
penses this year, it would have been
a ludicrous proceeding for the legislature
to have increased salaries, although
it is a well known fact that
some of .the salaries are entirely too
ST" \ small for the calibre of men expected
to fill them.
r - Every farmer reader of The Herald I
should send us $2.00 today for that
club of The Herald, the Progressive
f. Farmer and the Housewife. This
? gives' you the Progressive Farmer
.
and the Housewife for 50 cents. If
you subscribed direct with them, the
two would cost you $1.50. By taking
The Herald a year, yeu get them
i;:'. r 'y
for a0 cents. Every Southern farmer.
ought to take the Progressive
Farmer. It is the best farm paper
;,t published in the South.
Pit seems that every member of the;
general assembly was thoroughly im-!
pressed by the honesty and sincerity
of Governor Manning in regard to
the State Hospital for the Insane.
l'v '
The governor was roundly criticised
by his political opponents for his
stand in the State hospital matter,
and all sorts of predictions were made
as to what would happen when the
legislature met. Well, nothing happened,
except the governor was
unanimously endorsed for his interest
in the welfare of the unfortunate
inmates of the hospital.
Every subscriber to The Herald
whose subscription has expired is
earnestly urged to pay up and renew
in advance. Last week we had. to
part company with a good many of
our friends for no other reason than
they persisted in forgetting that we
cannot publish a newspaper with expired
subscriptions. It takes solid
money to print a newspaper like The
Herald sends out every week. You
don't want to miss a single copy of
The Herald; so if you are in arrears,
? hftlTA f A
please don t wait unui w t; no, v c |
take your name off the list before
you pay up; and then flare up and
f . get mad about it.

On Saturday night there was again
much drunkenness in evidence. Appearances
would indicate that blind
tiger liquor is being sold in Bamberg,
Lieutenant Governor Andrew J,
Bethea. has returned from Europe
where he went on a peace expedition
with Henry Ford. Mr. Bethea says
l-? Hnvnion noAJI 1 Q O VQ + l"i O IllOCt PY.
LUC VJCTillIO.il MX tliV/ lliV/w v/-?
acting he has ever seen. When he
entered German territory, he was
searched verj minutely, and even his
medicine chest was closely examinee
to see it* it contained explosives. Eacli
medicine was tested by dropping
some of it into the fire to see it' il
would explode. The Germans do not
do things by halves. They were
thoroughly prepared for this war
and the Allies are becoming more
and more convinced of this fact ever}
day. There is an object lesson in
what .Mr. Bethea says about the Germans
for America. What if this
..country had to go to war with a
country like Germany? And yet
there are countless thousands, including
such illustrious men as Bryan,
who do not want this country tc
even have an army or navy.
In speaking of the improvement ol
some South Carolina weeklies, the
Greenwood Journal, one of the best
dailies in the State, says:
"Of course every newspaper should
have news, but there is a right and a
w rung wa^ iu serve news wmen
makes all the difference imaginable.
It is the difference between a meal
that is well prepared and elegantly
served, and one that is well prepared,
but poorly served. A newspaper may
have its news service and its editorials
all right, but if it is poorly
printed with badly set ads, it stabs itself
right in the heart; for no one
likes to handle h newspaper that is all
besmeared with ink and dirt. There
is even an arrangement of the ads,
after they have been -properly set,
that deserves careful attention.
Whatever else may be done with
them it will never do to run ads on
the first page."
This is well said. We do not
think that the average weekly gives
enough attention, to the manner in
which it serves its subscribers. There
is another' thing that is not mentioned
by the Journal; that is the manner
in which a large majority of
weeklies and dailies hash up news
matter in order to print "position"
advertisements. It is the policy of
this newspaper not to run "position"
ads at all unless they can be so
placed that they do not interfere with
the reading matter. In fact we really
do not care to handle them at all,
and our experience is that a weekly
will not lose much by refusing to give
position to any advertiser. Of course
we do not expect many newspapers to
agree with us on this matter, and we
do not attempt to say that it is the
right way, but it is the way we look
at it. We do know that The Herald
is now running many contracts with
the position clause stricken out and
that we see the same advertisements
being run with full position in other
papers. And we imagine that we are
paid just as much for our space as
they. We think that the subscribers
should come first with a newspaper,
and that they are entitled to a clean
paper, well printed, and that they
should not be burdened with confronting
an advertisement in the
midst of a news article.
Boys Here and .There.
In America we are training in our
public schools an army of boys; training
them to enter the marts of trade,
the industrial life of a busy nation;
training them to take up the serious
part of life where their fathers shall
leave off. Sometimes we contemplate
wth sadness what this transition
means. It seems cruel even in
peace.
In France today 400,000 boys,
still in their teens, boys almost too
young to think of serious things,
boys whose lives ought yet to be
lived, are to be called upon to pay
the dreadful price of war. They carry
a new spirit into the carnage:
they carry away with them also the
hope of a suffering nation, which
must rely upon the new generation
to build up when the destruction is
ended.
The same sad chapter comes in the
war story of every nation. Always
the age limit descends rapidly. Always
war comes down to the youth
of the nation.
The number of Northern men in
our own civil war are given at 2,778,000,
which is somewhat deceiving,
because this total includes many
re-enlistments. Some men were
counted more than once. But of this
total 2,150,000 were 21 years old or
younger; of that number 1,150,000
were 18 years or younger, and of
these 600,000 were 16 or younger.
We have no figures for the Southern
armyv but the ages ran even lower
and the proportion of younger men
who gave up their lives was larger,
that after the war the South faced
reconstruction far more helpless.
And modern machine-fought warfare
consumes much faster than the
war-fare of former centuries. The
I fresh supply of boys in Europe will
not last forever.?Boston Globe.
London hospitals have nearly 10,000
beds in daily occupation.

lioll Weevil and Sea Island Cotton.
I have just read your clipping
in Monday's paper, from the Savannah
News, relative to the boll
. weevil and sea island cotton. If the
, boll weevil ever enters the sea island
i belt, that industry will be wiped out
> of existence, first because it tanes sea
- island cotton from five to six months
j to mature a full crop, and second,
; owing to the sugar or saccharine mat>
ter contained in this type of cotton.
[ The boll weevils, like many other ani7
i mals, have a "sweet tooth," and it has
j i been found that in the sections now
l
t| infested with boll weevils that both
:lsea island and Egyptian cotton will
;! scarcely set a boll, simply because the
, weevils prefer this sweet tasted cot?
ton to the upland kinds, in which
k there is very little sugar.
L Our hope for the producing long
- cotton must be based upon improving
5 our upland long cotton up to a stanl
dard sea islaiylSTAOXlaDofudlmRhr
; dard where it will grade with the
- present sea island. Hundreds of
. bales of upland long cotton have sold
> as high as 21 cents in the interior
markets of this State this season,
while the lower grades of sea island,
both in Savannah and Charleston
- have sold as low as 21 cents.
Some varieties of upland long cotton
will mature a full crop in ninety
days, or nearly half the time that it
takes sea island to mature a crop.
Only early planted and early maturing
cotton can be made profitable
in boll weevil sections. Early planting
and an early variety of cotton
will mature almost a normal crop in
any boll weevil section, but late
planting, and late varieties make
very little. Therefore, should the
boll weevil enter our coast country,
the sea island cotton industry is
doomed. The future hope of long
cotton is improving the upland long
staples to class with the sea island.
They are not so far apart now, and
? , , , ._?
tne careiui oreeaer can in a iew
years reach that point. South Carolina
has improved the upland long
cotton more than any other State,
and there is no reason why it cannot
yet be improved. Man has never
I erfected anything. Improvements
in all things go 011 from year to year,
and the cotton grower can make improvements
with cotton.?A. W.
