The Herald directs attention to th< statement in this issue of The Her Vitt r*f Hpalth ii a iu u v uic iuvui ? ? regard to the malaria control work The Herald sincerely trusts that i will only be necessary to direct at tention to the practices complained o * and that there will not be any neces sity for further complaint by the au thorities. Last year approximately $24,000 was spent in this city foi the conservation of health. Abou half of this sum was paid by the peo pie of Bamberg and the remainde: by state and national agencies. Tha it behooves the citizens of Bamberg to appreciate this service goes with out saying. That many mistake: were made is also doubtless generally admitted. Mistakes are usually made in large undertakings of this character, especially when made un der the difficult conditions prevailing during the period this work was carried on. This gives no excuse fo: any failure on the part of the peoph to give their full and free cooperatior that the best possible results migh he obtained. The malaria work ir culio v/itj jllcxo aiicauv piuu.utiiw of vast results, and it is capable 01 producing far greater results with proper cooperation. If even only on* person has been saved from the consequences of malaria, who is there to say that the work has not beer . productive of results? Suppose thai one person were you?it may have been. We are afraid that many o: the people have lost sight of the rea intention of the work and turned their attention to th? material side oi it. As a community matter it is probably a fact that sufficient lane has been reclaimed to almost covei the entire cost, but this is merel} incidental. The object was to free Bamberg, so far as possible, frorr malaria, and this is the one fact tc be constantly borne in mind. Then too, the people were entirely too optimistic over the promised results Many expected that a miracle woulc be wrought and that there would never again be a case of malaria ir Bamberg. Too many promises were made, the result of which was the people were led to expect too much This caused a feeling of self-satisfaction on the part of some that the work was to be done and that would be an end to it, without any further effort on their part. Such is not the case, and never has been. Unless the work is persistently conserved by the cooperation of the people, the entire system will soon go to decay. The Herald means no reflection whatever on the gentlemen who had anyj* _ j .1 ^ *11. lv > ^ 1 ^ tmng 10 do wnn me ma.ia.iici cuuiiuj work. They?every on? of them? did their work unselfishly and with only the good of Bamberg at heart. To them Bamberg owes an everlasting debt. That the people expected too much, however, is a fact. Now, it is within the power of every citizen of this town to assist in preserving the malaria control work. Let's do it. It appears that, as usual, the honors of city council will again be unsought by any considerable number. It is only three weeks until the city election. Now is the time to announce your candidacy. It is a satisfaction to the friends of Carlisle to k~i w that the school is to share liberally in the Methodist education fund. It is contemplated that the school will be given one hundred and five thousand dollars of this fund. Bamberg is fortunate in having this school located here. It is a pride to the town, and an institution that is in every respect worthy of the support of the people oi the city. If John Williams was guilty o! having eleven negroes killed on his plantation in Georgia, and the jury must have thought that he was, we utterly fail to see the reasoning oi fftAAmmonylino1 V? i m tr Hit?

It is exceedingly hard to hang any man who has money and influence in this section of the world. m O'Callaghan must leave America on or before June 6, it is announced We see no necessity of running him away then. He will probably have done all the devilment he desires previous to that time, and will probablj not be required to move on then. It is high time these meddlers were kicked out of this country. Deport all of them that are here, and al . low none to come in. It is a re' flection on America that these propagandists should be allowed to use " this country to further their own j * ends. One of the national legislative mat-, ters to be shelved during the final - days of the last congress was the! measure providing for the coining of] a two and one-half cent piece. It is, . understood, however, that this meas- \ ure is to be revived during the pres-j a ' TV>,-v o nnln rv f a I tJIlt St?S2MUIl. X IICT UCCU lUl a tUJ JLL KJ L c* half-cent value is so apparent that it is a wonder it has not been created long ago. It is estimated that the people of America spend four hundred million dollars daily unneces-i sarily because proper change cannot b? made for fractio. ? of one cent. This may or may not be correct, but everybody knows that the cost is enormous. An article that sells two [ for a nickle costs three cents for one, ^ 20% more than it should. The same is true of two-for-fifteen and twor for-twenty-five articles, and so on. ( It is is not even possible to pay reve3 nu? correctly on five, fifteen, twentyfive cents, and so on, denominations. 3 For many years to come the people 7 will be paying merchandise revenue, 7 and such a coin should be provided 3 for this reason, if no other. ?a hi ? ? Colston Sewing Club. The Colston Girls' Sewing club held its regular meeting last Friday afternoon at the school house. The meet L ing was called to order, roll called, 1 minutes of the last meeting read and 5 approved, and the following pro gramme carried out: Song, by the 1 club; reading, by Hermine Beard; 5 reading, by'Mary McMillan; song, by * the club. After the programme the * meeting was turned over to Miss Varn 1 who gave us our sewing lesson and ' told us some interesting things about ; the meeting at Winthrop which she f had just attended. 1 Our club meets every Friday bel fore the second Sunday, t CLEO BISHOP, Sec. * Home Demonstration News. r ??? * Every farm in the south should ? have not less than 50 good heavy, 1 vigorous hens, hens of one breed, ) and kept pure-bred eliminating ' scrubs. With care in selecting breders, and close culling, a good working average of 150 eggs should be pro* duced. g ' Seed the runs down to rape. Now 1 is the time to sow it, after fertilizing * well and making a good mellow seed bed. There is no green feed that can * excel rape for poultry at all ages, and ' an ample constant supply of greens 5 cuts down th? feedbill materially, be^ sides keeping the flock in prime health and vigor. Don't waste a day 5 but get it in. 5 The flush egg season is on and prices of eggs are dropped. Now is a good time to put away surplus eggs * to us? later when eggs are scarce and ' high in price. Do note waste time " in packing in salt, oats, or lime wat' er. These are only poor makeshifts at best. The silicate of soda or water glass method is cheap, simple and effective. Eggs can be preserved in it 10 to 12 months without trouble and keep their flavor. But there is one > drawback. The water glass preserves by forming a glaze over the egg that makes it air proof and steam proof, so when a preserved egg is boiled, the water turned into steam not be ing able to escape through the pores' " of the shell, the egg bursts. Punctur ing the ends with a pin prevents this. To pack eggs, take a large earthen ware jar, scald and clean thoroughly. Take one quart of water glass purchased from any drug store and add 9 quarts of water that has been boiled and cooled. Pack the eggs in 1 small end down and add the water glass and water that has been mixed. The eggs can be added each day as they come in till the jar is filled. ' Care must be taken to use only eggs that are strictly fresh and clean but do not wash them, and infertile eggs j&L. J&L. J&A I FIRST NATI ; % Member Federal ' x bambe: : | 5 PER CT.
