The nomination of James Cans
of Tirzah, as railroad commissio
certainly provides an object lessor
". perseverance. Mr. Caiisler first
for this job, we believe, in 1902, j
has been running ever since. In
primary he lacked but about
votes of nomination. As a gem
thing, whether they voted for hin;
not, nearly everybody is glad he
nominated, for he has certainly ti
hard enough to get the job.
Speaking about politics, Geoi

Mr. J. R. Salley, of Orangebu
Wednesday wired Governor Mannii
"Congratulations. Orangeburg

than he was accurate. Orangebi

en-tenths of Bamberg's total v
was cast for Richard I. Manning.
* , Our correspondents have been
ing well, and we wish to thank th
for the nice letters they have b<
sending us. We hope they will k
it up. The Herald is being com
mented on all sides for the g<
country news letters, and we wish
pass the compliment on to our fai
ful writers, for it is they, and
us, who deserve the praise,
think there is no feature of a g<
weekly county newspaper that
9 compare to the news letters from
rious parts of the county.
Herald earnestly tries to be a i
county paper. We do not attempl
print all of the war news and ot
matter that is handled fully in
daily newspapers, but we do try
print all of the news of Bamb
county and surrounding territc
and, in addition, print in brief f(
the happenings of the outside wo
And, then, we devote column a:
column to choice miscellaneous re
ing matter for the whole family, i
we try not to print anything that
be offensive to either the old or
young. We want every bit of n
that happens in the county. We
our correspondents to remember t
no matter how unostentatious a ]
son may be, a local about him or
will be read with interest by s(
one.

IV I The victory for Governor Manning
l** was magnificent. Now let the good
= work go on. The past twenty months
1 have been marked by a deep respect
Pjje for the laws of South Carolina. We
in hope that by the expiration of Govim"
ernor Manning's second term, this
***? respect and love for good governock
ment will have become so deeply ins
a grained into the people of the State
.by that there will not be a shadow of
ffol
iole a c*iance f?r election of any man
est- not pledged to a continuance of law
enforcement.
ths. About the most ridiculous per- ;
ible formance we ever heard of was pullQch
ec* by J?hn DesChamps,
ser- who flays South Carolina Democrats
ad- and quits the party because he says
he was counted out of election as
and g?vernor. He says he will always be
cial lieve that he received at least, so.ouu
ioa. votes in the primary, but was desix
tes frauded out of them by the managiS0.
ers. ZNIr. DesChamps bases his beno
lief upon the reception he received
iar_ over the State. We are afraid he has
O
ing something to learn about politics yet.
irst But the thing thot gets beyond us is
that after making such a good imays
pression, he should now go and spoil
OS0
ter- by not knowing how to take his
ad- medicine. Under different circumise.
stances, DesChamps would undoubt?r
edly have received a most flattering
; in
are vote, but he ought to have known
ex- better than to expect anything at all
in the primary this year.
16. Our readers know what kind of a
newspaper The Herald is, but perhaps
they have never taken the trouble to
ler
' notice just how much matter of a loner
cal or general nature is printed each
1 in week. In glancing over our issue of
raa September 7th, we find the followan
ing: Two columns of live country
on? news, from various sections of the
county; three columns of editorial
Jral discussion of topics of local interi
Qf
est; nearly a column -of short State
* 1S news items; about seven columns of
Med
headed local news items?24 articles
in all about Bamberg city and Bamberg
county; the short local column,
2) 1S,
The conta*n*n5 items of interest about the
city and county; half a column of
special notices, containing notices of
iose
wants, for sale, lost, found, etc.; 45 ,
. items of personal mention; the news
of the. State and county primaries and
the tabulation of the vote at each
rm.
and k?x in the county; two colmuns of
political notices, which are always
ane
^ ? read with interest; the usual legal
led advertisements. of the county, estate
notices, etc.; miscellaneous reading
matter for the whole family, and last,
but not at all least, about seventeen
ter_ columns of live local and general admj_
vertisements, by the reading of which
on. every one of our subscribers and their
families can profit.

bills presented to the solicitor and ^

to investigate the books of the coun- '

ed the books of the officers, and
found all of them well kept, and that
7 9
the officers had regularly made their
settlements with the fiscal depart- ge
ment of the State. , 0
3. We beg to report, however, t0
that in the office of the supervisor of an
Bamberg county, we found that a '
custom had grown up in the office th
which had extended back for some
o q
years from a former administration,
and was continued by the present, al- S1C
St
lowing some claims to be paid that
SO
were not duly proven and audited;
Cc
while claims so paid without being
properly proven were Correct
and should have been paid, yet the
custom is one that leads to careless- .5
ness. er
T>r
The attention of the present supervisor
was called to this examination
and we have his assurance that no
claims will be paid under any circumstances
unless properly proven
and ordered paid. ^
We desire to impress this upon the
administration of our county, and for in'
this reason we call this to the attention
of the court in order that the 40
practice may be corrected and utter- mi
CI 1?
ly eradicated. ?1J

The grand jury also appointed a
special committee to take into con- ''
pn
sideration and examine the books of
Of
the dispensary commissioners in this
county, and were authorized to em- 1,1
ploy an accountant, and the report
is herewith presented as a part of ^
this report. pe
TTT
In the examination of the books
of the superintendent of education, 1
we find that the board of education ^
T1
extended help to the Three Mile
school, of one hundred dollars; to
Q S
Embree, one hundred and seventyfive
dollars; to Sassafras, one hun- S1<
qr
dred and twenty-five dollars. This
St
amount was extended to these
> 71
schools, as being weak and unable
h c
to support a school for the full school
term of schools in this county. We
Cf
commend this practice of the board
6 ^
of education in supporting our weak
o 1
schools, and we hope that the memKi
bers of the board with the supervisor
will take such steps \within their mi
power to help the weak schools. This
! OQ
we recommend, so as to extend aid;
to those schools where there is less; S1C

We beg to acknowledge the petiq
o
tion filed with your honor in regard
to the Ritter's Mill pond. In regard ! s*c
Hr
to that we beg to say:
(a.) We have investigated, not! ^
I Q 4
fully, but partially, the condition of
the neighborhood, and we find that ^
Oi]
the old Ritter mill dam has been re-j
built, and that is one of the causes i ma
that has led to the complaint filed by] Be
the public of the neighborhood in the I C01
J f
petition which was handed to your
honor. Bil
(b.) We also ascertained that a
portion of this complaint has been 00
founded as a matter of right upon me
the cutting of timber in swamps, and
leaving it in the streams, or portions
of it, by the Schofield Lumber Co. s*c
He
(c.) We, therefore, recommend
? i Sw
that relief from this be granted in; .
the neighborhood, and that the mat-!
ter be referred to the solicitor of the '0
circuit to take such judicial action ml
as may be necessary to protect the
health rights and property of the 20
people in this neighborhood, where pl(
the complaint arose.
We call attention of the court ^
sic
to the fact that a play ground has
So
been placed upon the* square on the
back of the court house, by the civic Al
44
league. While we regret to inter- ~
fere with any matter of the league, Lo
11c
yet, by reason of the operation of this
VT r
play ground, it causes so much noise * 4
and disturbance, to amount to a
nuisafice, and we respectfully recommend
that the civic league be requested
to remove the equipment to some
other portion. In the event the Civic n0
league does not take the necessary dl<
action, within a reasonable time,
say thirty days, that the supervisor
remove the same.
Looking to the further improvement
of the public roads and to enable
the supervisor to do his work
with efficiency, expedition and to better
advantage, we recommend that the

officers of the court, thanks, for the c^a

to us.
