I .[ | Thursday, July 13, 1916. fThe politicians who wax fat on I factionalism are having an unhappy) time of it this year. They cannot arouse the necessary enthusiasm. It's |i > a fine sign. Let the good work go gp v . on. It is the Charlies against the Tom- I mies?Charles E. Hughes and Charles W. Fairbanks against Thomas Woodrow Wilson and ' Thomas R. Marshall.?Gaffney Ledger. j With the odds decidedly in favor) ft, of the Tommies. j Add to list of anonymous words: I \ v Yemassee, ' I Redbugs.?Jasper Herald. j To be entirely frank and candid about the matter, we would not like to be the.editor of the Jasper Heraia upon the occasion of his next visit to Yemassee. Everything is getting along mighty "well under the present administration in South Carolina. There is more peace abroad in the land than there has been in many years. The a laws are being enforced as good as any governor has ever enforced them?much better than a good many of recent years. The people are contented. Why make a change? "The semi-annual statement of Sears, Roebuck & Co., the big mail ' order people of Chicago," says an exchange, "shows that the sales for the first six months of this year amounted to over $65,000,000." Mr. Citizen of Bamberg, how much of that $65,000,000 did you send? And ' how much of it will ever get back to Bamberg? Bamberg cannot grow unless there . are houses for the increased poputl': ' lation to live in. At present it is h practically impossible for a newcomer to secure a residence in which to j live. Something will have to be done about providing cottages for rent, i Why not organize a real estate com- i ~ * i pany in Bamberg for tne purpose 01 building a number of medium priced ] fy cottages to rent? We know of eev- j eral parties at this time who want ' and need houses and cannot get j them. There are plenty of people in i Bamberg who have money they could invest in houses of this character. 1 Who will be the first to inaugurate i a movement to organize a company to build houses?and thereby help i IM'i the town to grow? 1 The Bamberg Herald stands first, last and always, for trading at home. . We believe that everybody should buy everything that they need, that ( is sold in Bamberg, right here at r home. But?it is also a fact that if p-?The Bamberg Herald had to depend entirely on home advertising, the , force would starve to death in three months. That's plain talk?but it # is the truth. And truth crushed to earth will rise again. All the merchants want the home people to trade with them?and the people ought to do it?yet outside of about a half , dozen concerns,, there is not another one who is willing to spend any money by advertising in The Herald. Now, we are praising ourselves, but it is also a fact that there are very few papers in South Carolina that are equipped to print a newspaper equal to The Herald. We give the people of Bamberg county a good newspaper. Our readers tell us it is good, and we believe what they say. And we can say to our readers that it is very fortunate that "foreign" advertisers consider The Barn berg Herald a good advertising medium and are willing to spend their money advertising with us. For, if they did not advertise with us, the high standard of The Herald could not be maintained very long. p \ ~ MOST REALISTIC WAR MAP. Gives Topography, Chief Cities and Towns and Vessels on Seas. The great war map installed in a Chicago store at a cost of thousands of dollars is a novelty both as a business enterprise and as a means of giving geographical instruction. It shows the topography and chief cities and towns of most European lands? including France, England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Russia, Belgium, Onmrin Tfolv Rill ? 1 UI tve* , oci v ia, no AJ f VAA WW) garia, Switzerland, Holland, Denmark and Norway?and gives such details as steamship and railway lines, forts, wireless stations, palaces, churches and other buildings of importance. The various bodies of water are represented with dreadnaughts, submarines and other vessels sailing the seas. Railway trains cross the territory, messages are flashed from wireless stations and at night lights glow in each city. Lightfng is arranged to make day and night changes at intervals of. ten minutes. In the night scenes the air takes on new characters and ingenious cloud and electrical effects are displayed. New Facts About the Army. Adjutant is army olerk. Caps worn only by officers.

Parson Phillips, addressing a village Bible meeting, was interrupted by a man who asked him if he be lieved that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. "When I go to heaven," said the parson, "I will ask Jonah." "But supposing," the man persisted, "he is not in heaven?" "In that case," said the reverend gentleman, "you will have to ask him." COST OF EUROPEAN WAR. At Every Tick of the Watch Over a Thousand Dollars is Spent. Every time the second hand of your watch ticks, the war has cost the warring nations of Europe something over $1,041. It is costing them $9,750,000 an hour, $90,000,000 a day, and $650,000,000 a week. By August 1 next, when the second year of the war will have ended, the gigantic conflict will have cost $45,000,000,000. These figures are presented in a special booklet on the war which the Mechanics' and Metals " ' ^ * -A 1. 1 1 National t&anK 01 i\ew xunv win issue this month. According to the bank's figures, if warfare lasts until August 1, it will have cost Great Britain $11,600,000,000. The cost to Germany will have been a bit less than that and the figures for France will have been $9,250,000,000. The total military expenditure of the warring nations for the first year of the conflict was $17,500,000,000. For the second year it will be $28,000,000,000. The aggregate of these amounts, according to the booklet, is a sum three times greater than the entire capitalization of the railways of the United States and four times greater than the total deposits of all our national banks. Two years of the war will have cost six times more than our Civil War, forty times more # than the amount of the national indebtedness of this country and 120 times more than the cost of the Panama canal. According to the computations made by the bank's statistician Great Britain's war expenditures are now $25,000,000 a day. The daily war cost to France is $18,000,000 and to Russia $15,500,000. It cerfcts the Germanic allies about half what it costs the entente allies. Discussing loans, the booklet says that loans of a permanent character made by the entente reached a total of more than $12,000,000,000, while Germany and Austria borrowed $11,700,000,000. Large as these sums were, they financed little more than one-half the cost of the war, $20;/v r\ n.

Thus at the same time that formal war loans offered to the people have gone beyond any credit operations known before, the money markets have been resorted to on a scale surpassing all precedent and resources of the central banks of the warring nations have been drawn upon to a large degree. The financing thus far has been accomplished with comparative ease and without violently affecting rates in the money markets. Means to regulate these markets have been found b.oth in the issuance of paper money and in the elimination of all industrial financing that might be competitive with government loans. Gilberts Fined $2,000. The following article is taken from the Bishopville Leader and Vindicator. This is the case where the Gilberts assaulted Miss Broadway, of Paxville, when she was teaching in their school: For thirty-seven years we have been reporting court proceedings and in all those long years we have never bad anything to touch us with greater degree of sadness, not even the ieath sentence on a murderer, as did :he sight last Thursday, when Judge Wilson summoned almost an entire family before bim to receive sentence of the court for assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature on a helpless young lady school :eacher. Judge Wilson's lecture to them while scathing, was done in such a tender, fatherly way that Ut touched the hearts of everyone who beard it. He said it was bad enough to pass sentence upon a negro, but when it comes to passing sentence ipon a whole family of white people, who from both a moral and intelligent standpoint, ought to know better than to commit such a deed, it was doubly painful. But, he said, irri+v. TviunVi nathrv? arid feeline:. "I am VT I til U1UVU ? w , aot passing sentence on you Mr. Gilbert, and your family, so much as upon the heinous crime that has been committed, and for the vindication 3f Lee county for law and order. The sentence of the court is that Mr. Gilbert be confined at hard labor for 3ne year or pay a fine of $500, Mrs. Susannah Gilbert be confined in the county jail one year or pay $500, Misses Estelle and Ruby Gilbert be confined in the county jail 6~months or pay a fine each of $250, Lawton and Roton Gilbert hard labor for 6 months or each a fine of $250." The judge heard Mr. B. F. Kelley's ?^ ?-> nnn- rial hofftro nasc. a I g U III II t iui a ?* la iwi wviwi v ing sentence, which was refused. The defendants were let out on bond pending the ten day limit for an appeal to supreme court. The government of Holland is planning to establish direct wireless communication between the home country and the Dutch East Indies. GARLIC AS A MEDICINE. Old Time Remedy Found Efficient in Treating Tuberculosis. * r Recently the Post called attention to the gradual "home-coming" of c "mother's remedies" in their appeal c to the present generation as having c their genesis in approved experience > as to their value in curative power. I Among the various remedies holding high rank in the "materia medica" of the housewives of the past was that of garlic and the several I varieties of the garlic family as re- * medial in the general systematic 1 treatment of.ailments to which hu- -j man flesh was heir. ( Three years ago a Toronto physi- 1 cian, at his own expense, reprinted and circulated a pamphlet by Dr. W. j C. Minchin, of Dublin, entitled "The j Treatment, Prevention and Cure of Tuberculosis with Oleum Allii." The * Toronto physician had treated ana ; cured his brother, who was far gone with the dread disease. ( "Oleum Allii" is merely the scientific name for oil of garlic The London Lancet, one of the ^ world's leading medical journals, ? about a year ago contained a long 1 [ report on the success of the garlic treatment in the tuberculosis wards j of Paddingford. | Following the publication in the Lancet, Dr. Lea Summers, an emi- * nent New York physician, made the ^ statement that garlic is responsible for the relative immunity of Jews and Italians to tuberculosis, an im- * munity that has been so marked, as j to excite the wonder of the medical world. Indeed, it is a well known fact that tuberculosis is almost unknown in Italy, where garlic is consumed almost as freely as we con- < sume onions. i In Italy physicians treat tubercu- j irvcic with infusions of and ftoultices 1 *VI"U "*v" " " X - > of garlic as a matter of course, and in that country- mothers give their children garlic syrup at the first in- * dication of a cold; Di4. Maurice Pishberg, in discuss- < ing the prevalence of tuberculosis among Jews of New York, said: "The Jews always have been garlic eating people and almost immune _ from tuberculosis, but when they come to America they cease to eat garlic and become susceptible to the j I disease." ' $ The statement has been made that t when Italians in this country become affected with tuberculosis, those of ^ them who are financially able to do ] so immediately return to Italy, be- I lieving that the. air of their native ( land and its garlic-flavored food will 1 cure them. < - ( Certain it is that pure air is one ( of nature's most effective remedies * for the dread disease and the testi- ^ mony is pretty strong that garlic is an efficient co-agent in resisting it. Wife?Well, dear, 1 shall have to C do the cooking now. Cook left with- * out warning this afternoon. Husband?Not exactly without warning. She told me this morning I I had better bring home some dyspepsia tablets tonight, but I didn't quite c understand what she meant.?Detroit News. 1 ~ OBITUARY. ( Mr. Sylvester D. Guess was born ] near Denmark, S. C., then known as Graham's Turnout, on Oct. 11th, 1844, and died at Columbia, S. C., where he had gone for treatment, on June 18th, 1916. His remains were S brought to Denmark and interred in the Denmark cemetery on "the morning of June 20th, 1916. His pastor, < Rev. H. G. Hardin, assisted by Rev. 1 J. D. Huggins, performed the funeral t rites. i Early in life he became a member s of the Methodist church and, at the time of his death he was a steward and had been for many years. His r brother stewards, J. B. Guess, W. L. Riley, Jno. B. White, W. H. Faust, E. A. Collins, C. S. Folk, J. A. Wig- ( gins and J. Wesley Crum, Jr., acted ns his nallhearers.~ Mr. Guess was twice married; his first wife was Mrs./Mattie Copeland, of Hendersonville, S. C., his second wife was Miss Anna Adelle Phillips, of Sumter, S. C.* who survives him, with the following brothers and sisters: D. E. Guess, Hendersqpville, S. C.; C. A. and J. R. Guess, Williston, Fla.; Mrs. Fannie R. Carter, Fairfax, S. C.; Mrs. Lou A. Martin and Mrs. Ida Goolsby, Denmark, S. C. At the beginning of the war between the States, although but a youth of 16 years, he was among the r. Domhorc iii?>L tU C1U13L, JUllllllg LUC uumuvif, Guards under Capt. Grimes, making a most excellent soldier. How can anyone pay tribute to such a man in a few words? To know him was to love him, to watch his unselfish, helpful life was to make you his friend always. There never came a moral issue in any circle, either secular or religious, but what he was found on the side of right. It is not necessary to invade the sacred precincts of the family circle in order to speak of the home life. Those traits of character, which go to make up the true Christian gentleman, were manifested there; a hnsDitalitv true and generous was al ways found and from which one departed refreshed. He will be sorely missed, not only by his loved ones and friends, but by his church and State. We commend his soul to the gracious God who gave it."Life's race well run, Life's crown well won, Life's work well done? Now cometh rest." | F. V. J. % I l L : ; ' ( ' -1 ~ V . . .
