It seems as if some of our courts
have very little work on hand?
though it is certainly not for the
Ihck of crimes. Recently a case came
before a Massachusetts court involving
the question of who is the head
of the Christian Science church?
would you say it is a "church;" perhaps
it is better to say organization?
and the contention was made by the
Scientists that Mrs. Eddy, dead for
several years, is still the head of the
cult. Acts through the spirit medium,
wee-jee board, et cetera. And
the court actually entertained a serious
motion in the case. It ought to
surprise decent folks that a court
of justice which is supposed to have
some semblance of dignity wTould listen
to this silly spiritualism stuff.
If there are those who insist on hearing
from the dead, let them hear;
but don't let the courts 1 of justice
have anything to do with it. Mrs.
Eddy is dead, and her earthly reign,
if she ever had any, is gon? forever,
the courts and the Christian Scien/
tists to the contrary notwithstanding.
And then in Illinois the other day,
so the newspapers say, a court rendered
a decision that a woman who
slandered another by repeating what
her ouija board told on her neighbor
could not be punished, because she
was not responsible for the' wickedness
of the ouija board, and that the
board was not amenable to punishment.
That is the way the story goes.
You can't believe all you see in the
papers, though. My friends, The Herald
publishers, may not agree to this,
but it is true. Personally, I don't
believe a court in America ever did
\
any such thing. If it is true, then
my advice is for that judge to keep a
good distance away from the foolkiller.
We read that last Saturday was
"national book day." Never heard
of it, eh? Oh, well, don't feel badly
about it. Neither did I. Nevertheless,
if I had known about it I believe
I would have called attention to it for
this reason: The idea of the book
day is that every person who has
a borrowed book in his or her possession
should return it on that day
> ?if not before, of course. Now, it is
astonishing how many people borrow
books and never return them. I

out just now, so nobody can accuse
me of being personal about it. I
have,had in times past, though. And
I have one or two modest sets in
which books are lacking. Borrowed.
Never returned. The regular setapart
day has passed, but it is not
too late to return those books yet.
Not mine. That was years ago. The
other fellow's.
^ .
They tell me that there was a deep
sense of relief among the base ball
promoters when it was ascertained
that lodging would not have to be
provided for the big league fellows
that came here recently. I was told
that the Boston crowd wanted hotel
accommojdations in a bunch, not more
than two to the room, with separate
beds, and with private baths for the
rooms. We boast of our town, and
rightfully so, but that got our goats,
to use'a favorite and pointed expression.
We can't very well afford to
I invite strangers to Bamberg at the
present time?not many of them.
But they do say that the fellows
were treated royally by our good
friend, Mrs. Owens, at the hotel, who
presided uring the absence of Mr. and
Mrs. Brooker, the veteran hotel keepers
of Bamberg. She showed that
she- knows how, and that "Uncle
Charlie" can sleep contentedly when j
he goes away and leaves his house j
in her charge. But we are all glad he
is back, because something is missing
on the street when his good cheer
is somewhere else.
And, now that Col. Folk has his
titles clear, what's wrong with going
ahead on that hundred thousand dollar
hotel? Bamberg is a growing
place, and must have more hotel accommodations.
The colonel said he
was going to give us a jam-up good
hotel, and the colonel does not do
things in a half-way manner. Here's
good luck to him.
Step lively, gentlemen. Friday,
April 22, is the last day you can get
a registration certificate for the town
election on May 3rd. I do not know
the result of the citizens mass meet/
I in? Tuesdav, but anyway, if you want
\ ....
I to serve your town, get in the game
and run for something. We need,
candidates for mayor, four or five of
them, a dozen or two candidates for
aldermen, and several for commissioners.
And, then the best men win.
