? ? ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. Published Weekly at Bamberg, S. C. Entered as second-class matter April 1891, under Act of March 3, 1879. ______? $2.00 PER YEAR. ?????????????????? Volume 30. Number 42. Thursray, October 20, 1921, " November 7 to 12 is. national home paper week. During this period everybody who has not already done so is asked to subscribe to his home town pamper. Everybody ought to take their h-ome paper, whether they live far or near. Remind your friends of this particular week, and tell .them to subscribe to the county paper instead of borrowing it every week. Snake stories always make good reading. "Old Hunter" made a contribution to The Herald last week on the so-called horned snake. There must be many good snake stories in Bamberg county. They ought to be told. If you know of a good story of this kind, send iifi in. Bamberg county is probably rich in snakelore, and as such stories are now going the rounds, it is a good time to tell them. If you know of a horned snake^ a hoop snake, or any other unusual story of snakes, tell i The Herald Sbout it. I, 4J mere is a very uauseruus yi ctouvc frequently seen in Main street, and tha?fc is foot ball playing by boys. We have a pretty clear idea that the streets are for travel only, and this practice is likely to result in the injury or possible death of some boy. lift will then be too late to stop it. The better plan is to stop the practice before the tragedy hsppens. A gentleman related to The Herald this Sweek of narrowly missing running over a boy who was engaged in the very engrossing pastime of catching a falling foot ball. By great effort he managed to stop his car in two i; V ' or three feet of the boy, who ran directly in front of the machine in ? trying to catch the ball, and evidently never did see the car. This same Ifrhing applies to throwing base balls, Dlaving marbles or any other games Hflr in the streets. An accident may neve er happen, and it may -happen today. As to the Ku Klux Klan The Her' aid knows very little and is not very much concerned. We have an idea ' - % there is no demand for such an organiization as existed in the seventies, and we do not admire the idea of seeking to put across the new organizaation under the fame of the old one, although we are told that the new Ku Klux -has no relation to the ^ older organization which completed v its work and disbanded years ago. If the new order has no relation to the other,* we think it would have -been beitter that seme other name should have been used. However that may be, the Ku Klux has received the finest kind of advertising recently. The so-called "expose" have served only to strengthen the organization, and the embryo con gressional investigation has given the order no end of fine publicity. It is safe to predict that the Ku Klux Klan will be stronger hereafter than ever before, and its enemies will be responsible for the new growth. The scheduled railroad strike is noft'hingx, more than was to be expected. When the government sanctioned last fall a tremendous increase t in wages in the face of falling prices everywhere, the bars were opened . , for discontent when the reduction would come. There was no excuse for increasing the pay of anybody last | ' fall, and it was little less than criminal for this unnecessary burden to be saddled on the people. We have no ^sympathy for the claims of the rail^ . roads or the employees. It appears * to us that the emDloyees are trying to hold up the railroads and the railroads in turn holding up the people. % -The roads have promised to reduce freight and passenger rates, which are almost double what they ought to be in camparison with other things, but the cut has not been made. Let the reads make the reductions, and then reduce wages of employees acV.' cordinglv. and the people will back the roads to the limit. The rights of the people have not been considered by either employers or employees. The government got the roads into this mess, and the government ought to get them out. It will be recalled that the government surrendered Iock. siock ana Darrei 10 tne eiupiu.vees during the war, and the question now is whether or not the government. and the roads will continue to surrender. That the people whom the railroads and employees serve shall suffer does not seem to concern either side very seriously. Vice Versa. "I am go:ng to serve on a jury. T think I will knit all the time."

It's more likely they will want you to unravel."?Wayside Tales. * SKEETERVILLE NUZE : | ? i Bein as i havn't saw nary Linov . nuze in yore valuerble Paper from i Skeeterville, i desidecl i wood git u ' to print sumthin frum hear, ef u j kood spear us the spase. i wooder rit ,' afore now, but i haint had nary ! | thing to rite about, bu.c bad nuze. and ^ i hates to allers be relatin tails ov 11 j Wo and Krime, its runnin sum peepul ! j crazy.
