" 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.
