?fje pamtierg ^eralb ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. Thursday, Sept. 20, 1917. Did you borrow this issue of The Herald from your neighbor? Then, don't do it again. It costs the subscriber a dollar and a half a year. You can get it direct from the publishers for the same price. ****** Alderman JoJhn Cooner and Mayor C. W. Rentz observe the ordinance against riding on the paved sidewalk on Elm street. There are said to be a few others who observe the ordinance, but we do not know their names. ****** A gentleman the other day smelled a bunch of fine Williamsburg cured tobacco. He said it might be good tobacco, but he had seen plenty of peavines that smelled just as good. Needless to say that the gentleman does not smoke nor "chaw." Is your son in the list of drafted men? If so, send him The Bamberg Herald. Nothing that you may send him will be more appreciated than the home paper. You may write to him regularly, but nothing will take the place of the county newspaper. * * * * * * Mr. W. J. Nichols?he is the concrete man?says he hopes to pave Main street before he leaves town again. Here is hoping that he is hoping in the right direction, and that his hopes will he fully realized. If ever a street did need paving, that street is Main street, Bamberg, S. C. ****** We read an editorial in one of our exchanges the other day detailing just how America could have been kept out of the war. It is a very unfortunate circumstance that thi? --^editor is not president of the United States. We certainly need men of such wide knowledge in the presidential chair. ****** Those wffio hold the view that this is England's war, and that it is no affair of ours, are urged to read this paragraph from Ambassador Gerard's book: It was the entry of England in the war, in defense of the rights of small nations, in defense of the guaranteed neutrality of Belgium, which saved - the world from the harsh dominion of the conquest-hungry Prussians and, therefore, saved the awo Americas and their protecting doctrine of President Monroe. ****** The amount of whiskey being shipped into Bamberg is .on the steady increase. Seventy-odd quarts were in the express office at one time a few days ago. Although the law is very stringent, and provides that whiskey can only be secured for sickness, a good many persons are managing to get it. In order to order whiskey it is necesary to make an affidavit that it is to be used for medicine on> ly, and, apparently, a good many people are willing to swear falsely to get a quart. * * * * * * 1 ' In the death of Hartwell M. Ayer the city of Florence and the State of South Carolina has lost a good newspaper man and a good man personally. Mr. Ayer was a native of Bamberg county. He was born in the Buford's Bridge section, then in Barnwell county. At one time Mr. Ayer was connected with The Bamberg Herald. He was widely related throughout Bamberg county, and was personally known to quite a number of our citizens, who held him in the highest esteem. * * * * * * The casual reader of the average newspaper must come to tne conclusion that our press is still very ^ strongly pro-Ally. Very few papers are yet pro-American.?Charleston American. The American doubtless bases its! assertion on the fact that these papers] always have a good word for the Al-i lies, and never a word of criticism. What of the pro-German papers that never have a good word for any of the Allies, including our own United States, and at the same time never have a word of criticism of the German fatherland? ****** If it were not for The Herald, the people of Bamberg county would have been deprived of all news of the selective draft. No other paper in the county has printed the news - i i. a U about tiie most important mmg mat ever has or perhaps ever will occur in the county. This newspaper is a part of the life of the county; it chronicles the good and the bad news; it tells of the county's progress, just like it happens. If you desire to keep up with the news of Bamberg county, you will have to read The Herald. And, too, The Herald is a permanent fixture, not a temporary establishment. When you pass over a dollar-fifty to this newspaper, you know that you are going to receive 52 issues of as good a newspaper as there is in the State. IDEAL ANTISEPTIC. Find Group of Drugs to Posion All Disease Parasites. The work of the war hospitals has brought a little nearer the ideal antiseptic, or the group of chemical drugs that can be used to posion all disease parasites, without affecting the blood serum or interfering with the phagocytes, the natural germ absorbing cells of the body. Microscopists know that pertain dyes seek out minute organisms or certain Vinris of cells which are thus stained and made visible, and through a knowledge of this selective action. Dr. Ehrlich, the German chemist, was led a few years ago to the discovery of salvarsan which has proven a remarkable effective remedy in certain forms of disease. Another chemical product, the yellow-brown dye flavin, was found by Ehrlich to have good effect in typanosome infections. Flavin has been among the dyes and other substances tried by Dr. Browning and his associates of the Middlesex Hospital and their report seems to place this antiseptic ahead of any other yet tested. It has extremely powerful antiseptic and bactericidal properties, proving effect *?

It does not harm the serum, and in mixture with it has its own effects greatly enhanced instead of weakened. In the cases of wounds, flavin has shown striking effects in a few days where there had been no improvement foir months. "You can't eat your cake and have it."

These cold, crisp mornings Miss j Alice Gray, "nymph of the sand i dunes," is shooting wild ducks and outclassing every old hunter in the neighborhood. With her shotgun at her shoulder, many a fowl falls just at the foot of the last ridge of sand that sweeps downward to the bare beach. This strange woman is recognized : here as a veritable Diana. Nimrods from the city who returned with one lone duck as a result of a hunt in the dunes observed with envy a score on ; a line of Miss Gray's windowless cabin. j Miss Gray has changed her costume i some what since the momentous davs t in the summer when she attracted j Chicago newspaper men to her ren1 dezvious. Then she went darting ; through the waves clad in nothing but | a coat of tan. Her feet and legs now i are encased in heavy mackinaw socks such as lumbermen wear. Her cropj ped hair is longer. It is crowned | with a man's cap, and overhanging j her gray wool skirt is a coat that exi tends nearly to the knees. Miss Gray will not return to Chicai go, she has told some of the hunters. ' She is still contented with her wild : life, each day brings some new recreation. I Too Inquisitive. j "Ethel," said .her mother, "have ; you been at my preserves again?"
