ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891.
Thursday, Feb. 15, 1917.
The session of the legislature is
fast drawing to a close, and very little
has been done as yet. We pre-1
sume that some sort of a liquor bill
will be passed and the State highway,
commission will be established. But)
the results are hardly worth the ex- j
penditure. We see no necessity of I
annual sessions of the legislature, but
i* cflomc ahcnlntplv impossible tO get!
X X, M WV-v%vv.,. -?x
the biennial sessions bill through. J
Every year it is put on the shelf. We!
noticed that Senator Black intro- \
duced a biennial sessions bill, but;
there appears to be no likelihood ofj
its passage.
Here is an item that attracted our
attention. It was first printed'in one j
of the State's daily newspapers. It j
had been reprinted in the Camden j
Chronicle, and we clipped from that
paper:
Barnwell, ,S. C., Feb. 2.?On account
of the muddy, almost impassable
condition of a large portion of
Main street, the rapidly growing business
of the city, and the heavy traffic
near the business area, it has been
definitely decided to pave this street
with concrete or cement.
Now the point is, things like this)
attract the attention of people far!

Improvements are proposed. Camden
is a good long way from Barnwell;
yet the fact that Barnwell is
to pave its main thoroughfare was:
considered a news item of importance
in Camden. Another thing: If Barn-'
well can pave its Main street, whatis
the matter with Bamberg getting!
busy? We notice the Chamber of;
Commerce is already thinking of this, j
and if it never accomplishes anything
but the paving of Main street, its organization
will not have been in vain.
The advertising agencies are getting
better than they used to be, but
still many of them send out their j
orders calling for "top of column, j
next to pure reading matter." Such
contracts s Vuld always be returned
for revision and changed to "run of
/paper," or an additional charge made
for position.
But it is still better for the country
paper not to sell position at all,
for advertising contracted for special
/ position greatly interferes with a
neat make-up, and when a paper has
a goodly number of position contracts,
the necessity offulfillingvthem
all becomes distracting to the foreman,
and the results are positively
grotesque, little rivulets of reading
matter squirting out between the different
advertisements.?Inland Printer.
, This is the position that The1
Herald has taken for a long time. It;
has been the rule of this newspaper
to decline to accept position adver
tising except at about double the or-;
dinary rate, and it does not care to'
handle them at that. Unfortunately'
so many newspapers accept position;
advertising that it makes it harder ,
on those tha*. do not; but there has
been a decided improvement in this!
direction. We believe that the average
advertiser prefers a paper that
has a neat make-up, rather than
those that try to please every advertiser
by printing news all round his
advertisements.
The Chamber of Commerce organized
last Thursday night has promisdoing
great things for the city and i
surrounding territory. It is some-j
thing the needs of the town have
been demanding for a lohg time. It!
is now a recognized fact that there;
should b9 a commercial body iif!
every town that wants to grow and i
progress. New enterprises and industries
will not locate where they
are not wanted, and, withoilt a trade \
body, there is no one whose business;
it is to interest new capital yi locat-j
ing here. Bamberg needs more in-!
dustries?enterprises that will in- j
crease the city's pay rolls and bring j
people to town. And, then, there is
the matter of civic improvements.!
The Chamber of Commerce can do j
much in educating the people in the!
way of making permanent improvements.
The town and county needs
advertising; the chamber can see to
it that the resources and opportunities
and possibilities of the city and
county are heralded abroad. It can
do much to disabuse the mind of the
people elsewhere that this section of
the country is less healthy than other
8?ctio?is-?or, if it is less healthy, to
go about removing the things that
make it so. It was mighty good to
see the interest and enthusiasm with
which tae movement was received.
The membership of 123 in a town'of
the size of Bamberg can accomplish
just about anything for the town that
it goes after. We hope the people will
r\r? a r-? mnttor onrl oot
\jLi luavv^i y MA?V4 ow j
out of the organization what theyj
should. The board of directors is<
composed of good, live, progressive
business men, and we can see no reason
why the organization should encounter
anything but success. Bamberg
is undoubtedly a place of great
opportunities. One of the smallest
counties, it is also one of the richest,
in the State. The business carried;
on in Bamberg city is far greater than j
that in many other cities much larg-J
er. This indicates that the town is
capable of development. Let us
build up the city; make it an attractive
place in which to do business,
and in which to live. We cannot posi
sibly do this without attracting the
! attention of the outside world, and
| there are hundreds of persons everyj
where looking for just such a place tc
locate in. Every new family locating
in Bamberg means more business,
more progress, and more growth.
MARVELOUS SPEED OF DOGS.
Greyhounds Travel as Swift as the
Flight of Carrier Pigeons.
Few people realize of what remarkable
speed dogs are capable of.
Some statistics in regard to this have
been gathered by M. Dusolier, a
French scientist, according to Our
Dumb Animals. After pointing out
the marvelous endurance' shown by
little fox terriers, who follow their
masters patiently for hours, while
the latter are riding on bicycles or
in carriages, he says that even greater
endurance is shown by certain
wild animals that are akin to dogs.
Thus the wolf can run between fifty
and sixty miles in the night, and an
arctic fox can do quite as well, if not
better. '
Eskimo and Siberian dogs can
travel forty-five mi-les on the ice in
five hours, and there is a case on
record in which a team of Eskimo
dogs traveled six and a half miles in
twenty-eight minutes. According to
M. Dusolier, the speed of the shepherd
dogs, and those used on hunting
ranges, is from ten to fifteen
yards a second. English setters and
pointers hunt at the rate of eighteen
to nineteen miles an hour, and they
onn maintain this sneed for at least
two hours. Fox hounds are extraordinarily
swift, as is proved by the
fact that a dog of this breed once
beat a thoroughbred horse, covering
four miles, in six and a half minutes,
which was at the rate of nearly eighteen
yards a second. Greyhounds
are the swiftest of all four-footed
creatures, and their speed may be regarded
as equal to that of carrier
pigeons. English greyhounds, which
are used for coursing, are able to
cover at full gallop, a space between
eighteen and twenty-three yards
every second.
CUT DOWN SUNDAY DIET.
Eat Less and Exercise More and
Eliminate "Blue Monday."
Grouchiness is more prevalent on
Monday morning than at any other
time in the week, and to such an extent
that life is made disagreeable
temporarily for many faipilies and
for many coworkers. That such
manifestations of ill feelings are detrimental
to private and public interests
is widely acknowledged, but it
has remained for Dr. Samuel G. Dixon,
State commissioner of health, to
direct public attention to the Monday
morning grouch and to tell how7
it can be done away with.
"The majority of people," Dr. Dixon
says, "are apt to fall into two
general divisions. One class tries
tp crowd too much into the time between
one week's end and the beginning
of the next week's labor. They
take up their business on Monday
morning exhausted and overtired instead
of refreshed by the 'day of
rest.' The other class goes to extremes
by overeating and underexer/
cising, and the result is equally unhappy."
To these causes the doctor could
have added the "hang over" from
Saturday night, for that there is
more dissipation then than during
any other night in the week is beyond
dispute. This is followed by
late rising on Sunday morning and,
if the stomach will permit, the eating
of three meals, which are always
heavier on Sundays than on other
days. The remedy then lies with the
individual, and it consists in abstinence
from liquor Saturday night
and less eating and more exercise?
nothing better than a long walk?on
Sunday. By following this plan
what is known as "blue Monday"
will be wiped off the social and business
calendar and everybody will be
fit to enter upon the duties of the
week.
Taking a Chance.
Andy Donaldson, a well known
character of Glasgow, lay on his
deathbed.
"I canna' leave ye thus, Nancy,"
the old Scotchman wailed. "Ye're
owe auld to work, an' ye couldna
live in the workhouse. Gin, I dee,
ye maun marry another man. wha'll
keep ye in comfort in ver auld age."
"Nay, nay, Andy," answered the
good spouse; "I couldna marry anither
man, for whit wull 1 dae wi'
twa husbands in heaven?"
Andy pondered over this, but suddenly
his face brightened.
"I ha'e it, Nancy," he cried. "Ye
ken auld John Clemmens? He's a
kind man, but he's na a member o'
the kirk. He like ye, Nancy, an' gin
ye'll marry him, 'twill be a' the same
in heaven. John's na a Christian
and he's na likely to get there."

: DliRANT MEASURE PASSED
. SENATE HILL PROVIDES FOR ONE
QUART A MONTH.
. Physicians' Inscription Required,
i Provision for Recr is Voted Down.
Ends Long Debate.
Columbia. Feb. 12.?The senate
last night, after a prolonged discussion
of the prohibition situation,
i passed the DuRant bill by a vote of
29 to 10. Provisions of the bill are
that but or.e quart of liquor may be
obtained each month, and this on a
physician's prescription. Xo provision
is made for the use of whiskey
as a beverage. .Ministers of the gospel
may procure a quart of wine each
month for sacramental purposes. The
vote was:
Yeas: Beamguard. Beattie, Black,
Brice, Buck, DuRant, Durst, Epps,
E. C., Epps, R. D., Evans, Friday,
Ginn, Griffith, Gross, Johnson, Johnstone,
Ketchin, McCown, Nickles,
Nicholson, O'Dell, Padgett, Purdy,
Spigner, Wharton?29.
Nays: Bonham, Harvey, Harrelson,
Hughes, Lanev, Rogers, Sinkler,
Stacy, Stuckev, Williams, J. F.?10.
Prior to the passage of the DuRant
bill numerous amendments were
offered in substitution. Last Friday
night, the Bonham amendment,
which was an emasculated form of
the bill by Senator D. Reece Williams,
of Lancaster, had been substituted.
This provided for a quart of
whiskey each month, to be obtained
on a permit from the county clerk
J of court. Senator E. C. Epps, of Wilj
liamsburg, and Senator R. D. Epps,
! of Sumter, offered a "bone dry"

Bonham amendment last night when
the prohibition issue first came up
for discussion. When this had been
tabled by a vote of 29 to 11, numerous
other amendments were offered
to the Bonham amendment. When
this had been somewhat modified as
to minor details, the Bonham amendment
was the indefinitely postponed
by a vote of 23 to 15, but not until
Senator Hughes, of Union, had made
another fruitless effort to have it
amended so as to provide for the
monthly allotment of 4 pints of beer.
INAUGURAL BALL.
Formerly Important, But Now Seems
Passing Into History.
Once again a president of the United
States is to be inaugurated without
the ceremonial accompaniment
of an inaugural ball, but as to whether
the omission involves any seri-t
ous social loss is an open question.
No doubt at an earlier day in the
history of the republic, when inaugurations
and everything else were on
a smaller scale, the ball formed a
fitting enough link in the ceremonies
I of inducting a new president into ofI
fice. It was a function which made
I an especial appeal to Washington
| trade interests. But what essential
i relation an inaugural Dan nas Dome
| recently, under the new and expanded
order of things, to an inauguration
I has not been apparent. Except that
| it attracted a crowd and offered cxj
ceptional facilitites for women to
j have their gowns torn and for men
i to be spattered with salad dressing,
| it was without distinctive character.
There was not even the satisfaction
of dancing under federal auspices,
with the government acting as host
j to the governed.
j If precedents count for anything*
j in the matter, the inaugural ball has
I probably now passed into history. It
| was long a national institution, a
| quadrennial celebration of a combined
social and patriotic rite, but it
has passed with the growth of the
country and with the passing of the
sentiment which sustained it.?New
York World.
Too Shrewd for Him,
An old laboring man appeared Detore
the court as a witness. The
lawyer for the defendant tried to
confuse him.
"You are Frederick Miller?" said
he.
"I am," replied the laborer.
"Are you the Frederick Miller who
was sentenced under mitigating circumstances
for robbery?"
"No, I am not that Miller."
"You are, perhaps, the Miller who
was sentenced to two years' imprisonment
for theft?"
"No, I am not that Miller, either."
"Were you ever in prison?"
"Yes?twice."
"How long the first time?"
"A whole afternoon."
"An afternoon? And the second
time? You must make truthful
statements, you know, for you are
sworn. If you were in prison for so
short a time what did you do?"
"I only whitewashed a cell ready
for your brother, who had been committed
for cheating his clients."
The lawyer did not ask any more
questions on that subject.?Philadelphia

F course every parent loves his family. The question
seems superfluous. Yet many thoughtless parents
spend as they go. They live up to every penny they
make. The best way to obviate the money spending
habit is to start a bank account. You'll not be so ready to draw
a check as you are to break a bill. Let us explain our banking
