Wf)t Pamberg peralb | ? ? i ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. i Thursday, March 15, 1917.' Tlie town election will be held on May first. We trust the voters of the town will not forget to register for this election. The registration books will be open until the 23rd of April. It is said that 50,000 tin cans were collected in Orangeburg during clean-up week 'by offering a moving picture ticket for every twenty cans collected. This would be a good thing for Bamberg. Old tin cans are; a menace to the health of the town, and could easily be collected and dis-: posed of in this manner, and if nobody else will pay for the moving pic - ture tickets, it would be a good in-1 vestment for city council to make. After tomorrow, March 16th, it will not be lawful for any newspaper j published in South Carolina to carry | any advertisement of liquor or any! alcoholic beverage. It can be said; to the credit of South Carolina jour-! nalism that very few newspapers; have for some years carried liquor I advertising. This newspaper has not considered whiskey advertising desirable, and, with the exception of perhaps a half dozen publications, we believe this view has been shared by all the other newspapers of the State. During the past year many beauti-J ful residences have been erected in \ Bamberg, and we are glad to notice, this activity in the city. We should j now like to see some modest but modern cottages erected for families | who are not fortunate enough to own' their own homes. There are a number of families in town now who cannot rent suitable houses, and doubtless many families are prevented from locating in Bamberg on account of the scarcity of houses. We sug-' gest that the Chamber of Commerce! take up this matter and try to induce j some of our local capitalists to in-' vest some money in houses for the good of the town. Four Camden banks have bought a half page space in the Camden Chronicle for eight weeks. These banks are using this space to inform the farmers of food conditions throughout the country, and to urge! them to raise their own supplies atj home. tThis is a novel move, and a j very commendable one. All news-i papers are willing and anxious, of' course, to be: of service to the farm-1 ers as well as everybody else, but the; banks realize that the newspaper! men have to live as well as the farmers. If the banks can use this space : to help the farmers to become more: prosperous, the farmers, in turn, will i help the banks and make them more i prosperous. While it i<= a business; proposition with the banks, it is a: movement that tends to make the! country around Camden better, and we believe that the farmers will not only appreciate this effort, but that many of them will accept the suggestions and seek to profit thereby.
