.? Thursday, July 20, 1916.
? There is always some big murder
trial going on somewhere in the
country, and the newspapers will insist
on printing all the evidence in
detail. There is too much^of this
~ ^ rr knn a_ I
sort of tning. mere is uutmiis vw*,
ficial or elevating about printing a
lot of morbid murder trial news.
Some of the newspapers that
ceased to accept whiskey advertising
are now printing large advertisements
of a so-called "temperance
life;- / drink" that is about as obnoxious as
whiskey advertising. We are not
seeking to excuse the advertising of
H whiskey, for we have never consider&' ."
ed it desirable; but the papers which
with a loud noise cut out their whiskey
advertising shoufti be consistent.
The drink in question is nothing but
a substitute and a subterfuge for
beer, and is sold, we believe, by all
first-class blind tigers.
The editor of the Yorkville En^quirer
says that he believes there is
as much blind tiger whiskey sold in
Charleston and all other parts of the
State now as ever. Our friend may
\
be right, but he is the first responsible
person we have heard of expressing
this opinion. We have had several
Charleston gentlemen to tell
us?and not for publication, either?
that the blind tiger industry in Charleston
had been curtailed to such an
pYtpnt. that it was extremely difficult
for any one to buy whiskey, and that|
(the sale of beer had been almost entirely
wiped out. And, judging by
the way blind tigers are fighting Govj'
ernor Manning, something or somebody
must be seriously interfering
with their business all over South
| Carolina.
Mr. Theodore S. Raworth, of Augusta,
Ga., is quoted as saying that
the business interests of the South
axe solid for the Republican candidate,
and is quoted further in an interview
as predicting large majorities
in the South, including. South
Carolina, for Nominee Hughes. Mr.
Raworth as described as president of
a large cotton mill in Augusta and a
director of a chain of banks in that
city, ff the gentleman has not been
incorrectly quoted, the greatest interest
about what he says is how a
man who indulges in such idle small
talk could ever have been made a cotton
mill president or a bank director.
If his judgment in the administration
of the affairs of the banks and the
cotton mill is no better than his political
predictions, we suggest that
the aforesaid enterprises are sadly
in need of an officer.
Friends, the Democratic party
needs funds. The greatest fight
ever waged against a Democratic
nominee for president will be
waged this year. The -Republicans
had, until three years ago, been in
almost continuous control of the
government for forty years or more.
Last election year they were defeated.
Now is the time for their supreme
effort to come back?before
the country settles down to a long
siege of Democratic control. The
Democratic party of this country has
none of the big corporations and
moneyed interests to lavish its thousands
upon a campaign of publicity
and enlightenment. The vast bulk
" " ' J 3 i? i.i
01 tne iunas received uy me jl?ciuuc
crats come from the rank and file of
the party?the individuals. Every
good Democrat 6hould contribute toward
this fund. Wilson must remain
in office. He is a Southerner,
and his working force is composed
largely of Southerners. Let the
South be loyal to their chieftain.

m
p:.
We often wonder why it is that
there are so many people in Bamberg
who will send to other places to have
their job work printed, without even
giving The Herald's job office a
chance to quote prices. We have in
mind now a job that was printed elsewhere.
The printing was nothing
like as good as this office usually
turns out. We don't know what the
job cost, but we do know that we i
were not asked to make a price on
it. And. to further deepen the mystery
of "why," we might state that;
The Herald is a fairly good patron
of the concern that sent the job out
of town. Some people seem to have
the idea that nothing is done right
unless it is done "out of town." We
think that everybody in Bamberg
knows that The Herald's plant is perhaps
the best equipped of any plant
in a town of 1 0,000 in the State. It
is far ahead of the average printing
office. We don't say this in a boasting
spirit, but merely to show the
fallacy of persons sending to other
points to have work done that ought
to be done at home. Why, we know
of one person here in town who sent
printing to an office in another town
no larger than Bamberg, and the j
printing office in which it was printed
cost abput as much complete as
one of The Herald's presses. It cannot
be excused on account of price.
We were not consulted or asked
about the price at all. It is all funny
to us. We live in Bamberg, spend
what money we make here, and it is
rather difficult for us to grasp the
meaning of this thing of prefering to
have somebody in some other town
do printing that can be done better
right at home. And, for the sake of
argument, suppose it costs you a few
cents more here in town. There are
a good many people who derive an
income from The Bamberg Herald.
They all spend their money here.
The merchant, the banker, the lawyer,
the doctor and everybody else
gets a share of every cent of money
that The Herald makes in profits.
Does the printing office in other
towns do as much for you? This is
not so much a spiel for The Herald's
job office as it is a statement of fact
regarding how some people in town
expect to do business and prosper,
and at the same time do what they
can to prevent anybody else doing
likewise.
FOUR PERSONS DROWNED.
Thrwi Children and Vounff Man Per
ish in Alapaha River.
Valdosta, Ga., July 13.?Three
children of Henry B. Phillips, of
Stockton, Ga., Henry, aged 14; Elizabeth,
10, and a boy, 2, were drowned
in the Alapaha river there late today,
according to a message received
here. Mrs. Phillips, who was with
the children when they waded into
what they believed to be a shallow
lagoon, made by the river's recent
overflow, narrowly escaped death.
Parties have gone from Naylor and
Stockton to recover the bodies.
Benjamin Pafford, 18 years old,
son of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Pafford,
of Milltown, Ga., was also drownea
in the Alapaha river, near Milltown,
today, when he dived from the railroad
bridge. Donald Darsey and
Cranford Peters, his companions,
were rescued by Lawson Patten,
when they became exhausted.
UNSIGNED PAPER MONEY.
Young Man of Atlanta Held Pending
Investigation.
Denver, Col., July 13.?W. Ed
ward Diez, 24, of Atlanta, known in
Denver as Joseph C. Meyers, is in
custody here today pending investigation
into the source of $1,000
worth of unsigned national bank
notes which the police say he threw
away as he was about to be apprehended.
The bills, it is said, were identified
by postoffice inspectors as part of a
series amounting to $1,000,000
stolen from the mails in a train holdup
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
at , the central station, W. Va.,
October 8, 1915. Diez denies knowledge
of the robbery.
Conducting a Meeting by Telephone.
Recently a meeting of the American
Institute of Electrical Engineers
was held in?the ^vhole United
States. The members in Atlanta,
New York, Chicago, St Louis, San
Francisco, and numerous other cities,
were connected by long distance
telephone. Dr. J. J. Carty presided.
Motions were made, seconded, and
carried, addresses listened to, and
business transacted. This is being
heralded abroad as the first meeting
ever conducted by telephone. Doubtless
it does go a little beyond any
thing of the kind previously accomplished,
but we happen to know of
three South Carolina ladies having
held a church committee meeting
several years ago by having central
connect up their respective homes;
and they carried on a regular committee
meeting, transacting their
business with perfect satisfaction,
9-nd hung up their phones.?Southern

BYRNES IS CAMPAIGNING.
Takes Advantage of Three-Day Rc
cesses by House.
Washington, July 18.?Now tha
the work of the house has been s
nearly completed that three-day re
cesses are to be taken until the sen
ate catches up with the programme
Representative James F. Byrnes, c
tlio Smith Carolina district, i
common with a number of his Demc
cratic colleagues, is seizing the 01
portunity to run down to his dis
trict and do some campaigning fo
renomination.
In view of the activity of thi
young Carolina congressman and hi
all-round efficiency in committee an
on the floor of the hctise, 110 doul
is felt here that his constituents wi
continue their habit of returnin
him.
Water Blasting.
In the wrecking of a Berlin bridg
by water pressure, adopted to avoi
concussion, a steel cylinder, fitte
with a ring of eight pistons and clos
ed with cement at the other end, wa
inserted into holes about 30 inche
deep bored into the piers. A one
inch pressure pipe connected the c}
linders to a hydraulic pump weigliin
only about 60 pounds. As pressur
was raised in the cylinder by the a<
tion of the pump, the pistons wer
graudally forced out, and the masor
ry blocks were split away, one b
one. The process is described a
rapid and almost noiseless, operatin
without risk to nearby buildings.
