Wfyt Bamberg ^eralh ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. Published Weekly at Bamberg, S. C. ^i_itmmmam Entered as second-class matter April 1891, under Act of March 3, 1879. $2.00 PER YEAR. - Volume 31. 0 No. 6. r. _ Thursday, February 9,1922. In another column we print today an editorial from the Columbia State v entitled "A Practice that Disgusts." We commend this editorial to a care . . ful perusal. The State cannot be accused of a great deal of adverse criticism of the general assembly. More, ' / perhaps, than any other paper in South Carolina does th.e State defend ?nd shield the general assembly. This |?--. editorial, therefore, commends itself most forcibly to the attention of the |fe * people. -Read it. It was Dr. John E. White, of Anderson, we believe, who recently during a sermon ajjuded to the fact that otherwise public spirited men fre* quently fail entirely to give their support to the churches. When it comes to the chamber of commerce, the club, the schools, public heaitn, ana things of that nature, most of the business men stand unanimous in supporting such enterprises. Many of the same men will do absolutely nothing for the town's churches, and thereby fail in supporting the one Fi factor that is the town's greatest asset. For, without the Churches, any jh : town would be in a most deplorable condition. Speaking purely from a business standpoint churches pay |gtv' ? the greatest dividends of any town's -lT?c>+i4"nti<vne SSnnnnrtinsr th? ohurch ? does not merely mean contributing ||?v: : toward its maintenance and to the maintenance of its charities and missions; it can best be supported by the j|p* people going regularly to its services. H ? If the church is worth anything to the community, and there is not one jfe person in a hundred who will argue that it is not, it is worth the support K>!.. of the people. This, of course, does not take into consideration the spiritj||v\; ? ual blessings of the church, but is V merely the material side of it. If it were not sucih a serious matter, we would be tempted to say that the 'greatest joke ever prepetrated - on the state of South Carolina is its legislature. Any sensible person, B||^ reading over the detailed news of the general assembly, must feel that way % about* it sometimes. The silly bills that are introduced are enough to make any one laugfh, but the laugh drifts into a dry grin when he later * reads that many of them are enacted into law. Not all of the legislators are UU me Slue U1 mi& oiujr uuoiucoo, "but there are enough to frequently ipv - get through legislation which is utterly useless, unreasonable and withg3-v_ out any redeemable features. The legislature is at present composed is a liability on the state. There is a considerable portion of its members - who do very little or no thinking for themselves, and there is another ele ^ w!V? /V r? TVIII/tk n T> {n 4 iilcujy. wmu iuijuho rnuwu auu iu wc 5> ' wrong direction. The result is the k;.< honest, faithful representative of his people finds himself very often in a c hopeless ininority without a chance in the world to accomplish anything. It sounds small and pessimistic, perhaps, to talk like this, hut, kind friend, we suggest that you spend a vfew days in Cohimbia hanging around ''the state house; note what happens in the lobbies, and if you can give us a rosier view of our legislature, we would be glad to be enlightened. The Herald would not say a word against any legislation that it believed could benefit the people, or any considerable portion of the people. And if it believed that the extension of the time for paying taxes could benefit the people, it would not lift !" ' t its voice in opposition to the extenV. , sion. We have tried the extension y.'i': once; we could not then see that it accomplished anything that could commend it again. A taxpayer who cannot get the money to pay his taxes by the 15fch of Majch will have still /liffiMiltir in croftinc it eoiroral 5* VMrW* UilUVUiVJ AU XV OV/ f V1U1 months later. If the has to borrow > the money to pay taxes with, he will stand a better chance of getting it now than in the summer time. And, in the meantime, the state and county government will run out of funds, necessitating the borrovyng of money to keep the government going. Already we understand that the school funds are very low in this county, and ! since the talk of extension of time to pay these taxes has been up in the legislature, there has been a big slump in taxpaying. The result is likelv to be the "Closing down of some of the schools for lack of money to nav tihe teachers The whole idea has a generally demoralizing effect, and the-^egislature can best serve the people not by extending the time for payment of taxes, but by reducing the taxes so that the people can pay them. ^ io> m ? jjf * % jy If you treat some men courteously they think you are easy.

A waitress of rather advanced age drew near; despite her humble dress she ihad a lofty air. The students looked at her attentively, and suddenly one of them rose, knelt down and kissed the edge of her apron. This servant had formerly been a lady of Ihonor at a c.nnrt that was wrecked in the most awful drama of contemporary history. % Where the War is Still On.

Uniformed men are not met with a hrass band. Said the mountaineer: "Strangers, where ye be from, what's y'r business and how long y' gwine ter stay?" Replied the spokesman of the navy party: "We're navy recruiters. We're going to run down a lot of your young men, put pants on 'em, and enlist 'em in the navy."
