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.

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

the tissues or influence the process
of phagocytosis. 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.

{SHE OUTSHOOTS OLD HUNTERS.
| Chicago's "Nymph of the Sand
Dunes," Proves Herself a Diana.
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.

Too Inquisitive.
j "Ethel," said .her mother, "have
; you been at my preserves again?"
Ethel at once became very busy
' arranging her doll's hair. "Mother,"
i she replied, "when you were a little
! girl didn't grandma teach you, same's
you have, not to be 'quisitive?"
