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 We have had several Charleston gentlemen to tell us?and not for publication, either?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. Send along your contribution to The Herald. 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 Christian Advocate.

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.
