KSTABL1SHKI) AI'KIL. 18!)1.
Thursday, March 21, 1918.
Dr. W. S. Stokes, late editor of
the Denmark News-Monitor, which
recently suspended publication, has
beer, appointed registrar of the bureau
for the employemnt of teachers,
an office created by the recent session
of the legislature. It is to be
hoped that Dr. Stokes will make
more of a success of his new office
than he has done with his several
( "
newspaper enterprises.
< o >
A carnival show is holding forth
this week on the outskirts of the
town, outside of the city limits. It
was not allowed to come to Bamberg,
but it came as near as the limits
would permit. If the legislature
would pass one law outlawing carnivals
and then adjourn, it would
be doing the State a real service?
more service, we believe, than many
of the sessions we have remembrance
of.
A statement from the office of the
collector of internal revenue of this
State puts Bamberg as one of the
counties in the State leading in the
payment of income taxes. The Herald
has received what apears to be
authentic information that Bamberg
actually leads in the payment of this
tax; that is, more taxes have been
paid in this county, on the basis of
population, than in any other. As
South Carolina leans an omer &iaies
in many respects, especially in agriculture,
one of our citizens argues
--/ that this must be the best county in
the United States. This certainly is
true in a good many ways at least.
We have heard of the payments of
some large amounts by. citizens of
the county; and it appears that the
people have fallen into line in a
most admirable manner. We understand
that one citizen of the county
ifaid more than $6,GOO income tax,
and several others more than $1,000.
^ < i m
It has been suggested that the city
council might take up the matter of j
moving the cemetery on Railroad ave-'
nue. The presence of a cemetery in!
the midst of one of the leading res-1
idential sections of town is certain-!
ly not very alluring, to say the least
ofMt, and as there are very few
graves there, it would not seem to be
a difficult matter for the city to arrange
for the removal of the cemetery
entirely. The town could pur'
chase lots in one of the other cemeteries
for this purpose, and let the;
Railroad avenue cemetery property j
revert to the town. The site could!
well be used either for building lots |
or for a city park, which is sorely!
needed. The civic league ladies have
'done much and are still doing much
to keep up the appearance of this
property, but their efforts are seriously
handicapped. It would be a
fine thing for the town to have a public
park there, or, if it is not practicable
to have a park, the property
could be put to good use as building
lots, which are scrace in Bamberg.
The Herald wishes to again call
the attention of persons . who own
building lots in Bamberg to the necessity
for ihore houses. The town
is handicapped in a most serious
manner by the lack of houses for
renting purposes. We have known
in the past few months of quite a
' number of families who have been
unable to secure residences here.
?# .
This certainly prevents the growth
of Bamberg.. It is quite impossible
for the town to invite families to
make this their home without providing
houses for them to live in.
The town has experienced a remarkable
growth in all respects during
the past few years, and there is no
< _ i .1 ? i,:i:i? ?e n?.n
QOUDt wnaiever 01 me aumij ui ufilers
of houses to rent them. This is
a matter that calls for serious
thought, and the chamber of commerce
could do nothing that would
be of more benefit to the city than
to agitate the erection of modest cottages
so that new residents may be ^
invited to the town. That there is
plenty of money in Bamberg for this
purpose cannot 'for a moment be
doubted, and investors would surely
show their faith in the city by build- 1
ing houses. It ?oes not speak well <
for the town when people have to
move away or not come at all because
they cannot rent a house.
A farmer the other day suggested
to the Herald that pne obstacle to
the farmers raising more food crops
lay in the fact that there was a very
unsatisfactory market in Bamberg
for surplus food products. This is
a matter that ought to be given serious
consideration by the local merchants.
It is a fact that Bamberg
probably does more in the way of living
at home than most counties in
the State. In some sections of the
county it is particularly true that
the people have always lived at home.
If the county is to be expected to
raise more food than usual, it is also
a fact that there must be a market
provided for the surplus. Some
system should be devised whereby
the local merchants should give pref-l
erence to the handling of local prod-i
wis, which are as a rule superior to!
1 i
the imported article. However.!
there is another side of the question j
to he considered by the planters; j
that is the unreliability of the local j
supply. The merchants have to pur-i
chase in advance, and they never
know whether a supply can be had at
home or not. Would it not be a
good idea for the farmers to arrange
in advance with a certain merchant
to supply him with so much meat on

up to the farmer to keep his contract
and furnish the goods. We believe
that any merchant, in town would
prefer to handle good Bamberg cured

meat, but he would have to
know positively that he would be able
to get it at a certain time.

Uncomplaining, with high devotion,
with an attitude that amounts
almost to religious exaltation, tne

burden to the womanhood of France?
This is the exact question that is involved
in our substitution of other
cereals in place of wheat.
The women of France must be enabled
to bold lid the morale of the
French soldier until next spring. The
morale of the house decides the morale
of the soldier in the fighting line.
We can do this by giving to them the
greatest possible freedom in their
food supply, and of this, wheat is the
chief factor.
