Gonzales, whose bright paragraphs adorned the editorial page of the State $very day until he went to the border with the South Carolina national guard. Mr. Gonzales was, without a doubt, a gifted writer, and was considered by many as being the leading paragrapher in the country. Let everybody remember the good roads meeting to be held at the court house in Bamberg Monday, January 8th. Be thinking about the meeting people, and when you come, don't fail to express your thoughts about what is to be done. Your suggestion may be the one Bamberg county has been needing all along. Whatever you do, don't fail to be present at the meeting. Let this meeting be a rousing - good roads rally. ( With reluctance The Herald feels compelled to discontinue exchanging with a good many of the newspapers of the State. Thfc Herald is endeavoring to get through the period of high prices without advancing its subscription price. In order to do this, every possible expense must be pared down. It is a pleasure to read the exchanges. We are sorry that our time does not permit us to read every one\of them carefully. The fact that we cannot continue to exchange with all of them does not maan thof ttq r? n nnf oninv thoir JLU^/UrU bUMV " V IAV **VV v*4 V** visits, but we just can't afford it, that's all. High prices are playing havoc with newspapers, and we hope that the time will soon come around again when we can afford the expense of sending every paper in the State The Herald. In the mean time, we shall have to content ourselves with only getting those around us. Warding Off Trouble. He had reformed and was full of zeal in the cause of temperance. He was holding a lecture in a workman's hall, and fearing that the audience might interrupt he hired a former prizefighter to. preserve order. In glowing terms the orator uuuuasutju nuiiitJ uie wnu ui uun.eiiness: "What is it we want when we return home after a hard day's work? What do we want to ease our burden to gladden our hearts, to bring the smile of happiness to our faces, and joyous songs to our lips?" He paused for effect, and in the silence could be heard the voice of the keeper of the peace:, "Mind, the first bloke that says 4beer,' out he goes with a bang."? 15t.

(Continued from page 1, column 6.) crete objects for which it is being waged have never been definitely -stated. Same on Roth Sides. "The leaders of the several belligerents, have, as has been said, stated those objects in general terms. But, stated in general terms, they seem the same on both sides. Never yet have the authoritative spokesmen of either side avowed the precise objects which would, if attained, satisfy them and their people that the war had been fought out. The world has been left to conjecture what definite results, what actual exchange of guaranties, what political or territorial changes or readjustments, what stage of military success even, would bring the war to an end. "It may be that peace is nearer than we know; that the terms which the belligerents on the one side and on the other would deem it necessary to insist upon are not so irreconcilable as some have feared; that an interchange of views would clear the way at least for conference and make the permanent concord of the nations a hope of the immediate future, a concert of nations immediately prac-i ticable. "The president is not proposing; peace; he is not even offering media-! tion. He is merely proposing that, soundings be taken in order that we: may learn, the neutral nations with the belligerent, how near the haven j of peace may be for which all mam. kind longs with an intense and in-! creasing longing. He believes that! the spirit in which he speaks, and! the objects which he seeks will be; understood by all concerned, and he confidently hopes for a response which will bring a new light into the affairs of the world." City of Washington. Washington, the capital of the United States, was founded 126 years ago today, December 20, 1790. In the early days of the republic congress was engaged in a long and bitter wrangle to decide the location of the capital, and for a time the controversy threatened to wreck the infant government. At^lenth an agreement was reached, and a site favored U.. n TTT^ X T T u> ijeurge w Jisinugiuii, oil me uauKS of the Potomac, was selected. In realizing the dream of Washington much vexation was experienced because of the attitude of the owners of the land, most of whom were; Scotch, and had inherited the abili-; tv to drive a hard bargain. Most stubborn of all w-as David Burns, a tobacco planter and justice of the peace, who insisted that he "did not want a capital in his front yard, j Washington argued with him for days, and Burns at last capitulated,! but he exacted a good price, and also stipulated that his cottage should not: be disturbed.
