? (B3je Romberg ^eralb 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 31. No. 11. ????????? Thursday, March 16,1922. The same old story is told of the election of members of the new railroad commission, created by the recent legislature. Four members were elected by the legislature. Three of them are members of the general assembly. As usual, when a member " * *v"' - ? ?- ?. ? *1 V>A0 offers for an omce, no one tn&c uaa any real good reason to hope tor election. The value of systematic saving of money may be seen from the fact that if loaned out at eight per cent., a sum of money at compound interest will double itself in a little more than nine years; at six per cent, in about 13 years, and at five per cent, in about 15 years. A^ew dollars placed in a savings account at the birth of a x child will amount to a tidy sum by the / time the child reaches maturity. r ? We do not think it is a very good example for the general assembly to remain in session on Sunday. The legislature makes the laws, and if they do not countenance Sunday observance we don't see how they expect others to do so. No emergency has arisen in the recollection of this writer which has made necessary the general assembly remaining in session on Sunday. Lawmakers ought to set bhe rest of the people a good example. 0 ' 4 T? lit W The legislate enacted a law forbidding carnivals from showing in this state except at state and county fairs, and then all gambling devices must be eliminated. Since the idea seems to prevail that there can't be a county'fair unless there is a carni Pval with its usual suggestive snows and "skin games," it is well to have a law forbidding the showing of such affairs. Nobody minds the presence of a good clean show at carnivals or Elsewhere, but the average carnival is a monster fake; everybody knows it, yet they are permitted. %. i The harmful results of the printing * of sensational news is clearly demonstrated by the recent tragic death of the motion picture director, Taylor. The big dailies have played up the morbid details of the -crime in sensational style with many sidelights on the inside life of the screen actors ^ . and actresses. Since the publication of the killing of Taylor, it is said that more than 300 persons in all walks; of life' and in every portion of the -country have "confessed" to committing the deed. This same thing is true of other widely published and senfetional murders. #L. - - Those persons who still hang to the idea that "advertising doesn't pay," . anfi they are mighty few in number, ougiht to have been in The Herald office during the past few days. No|W" tice was inserted in the last issue i - of The Herald to the effect that we had at our disposal a quantity of garden seeds from Congressman Byrnes and they could be had for the adking. There were several hundred packages, and they went like the proverbial hot cakes. If we had not alreadv known better, we would have been r v . convinced that where results are not achieved by advertising the fault lies in not offering the reader something attractive. People read the newspapers and they read the advertisements. Naturally if thev are not inta. terested in what is advertised they pay no further attention to the matter.' THE APPROPRIATIONS. It is an easy matter to find fault; it is likewise easy to attempt to dispose of honest criticism by attribut, ing the criticism to the desire to find fault. There has been much fault finding with the session of legislature just closed, and the attempt has been made to cast aside sonie of the. just criticism on the ground just mentioned. The Herald confesses it has not been impressed with the general tenor of the past general as semoiy. it nas appearea to us mat ? there was an absence of a genuine desire to relieve the tax burdens on the people, and we submit that the appropriation bill as enacted sustains this position. The tenor of the assembly has appeared throughout to be one of shifting the taxes so as to make it seem taxes are being lowered. Some new sources of taxation have been "discovered," some of which might pass muster if the expense af government in this state had been reduced, but a careful perusal of the appropriation measure does not reveal any general reductions. Here and there an item has been pared, | and one of these items, to our mind, f is going to meet with resentment; * that is the appropriation for country schools, which shows the most marked decrease of any of the larger items. Transferring the burden of taxes from the right to the left pocket does e] not help the bank account of the peo- ^ pie. What the people wanted and c what they expected of the legislature ej was to cut down expenses. The state b( used to get along very nicely on two of and three million dollars a year; it is , scarcely to be expected that this could ho cnpppcsfnllv accnmDlished now. but one cannot look around and see the ei material results of an expenditure g more than double that of a few years 0 ago. t] The truth about the thing is, as we Cj see it, the state is simply top-heavy a with boards and commissions, the p tangible results of which are not vis- p ible or are visible only to a negligible a degree. There's the welfare board, n the pardon board, the health board, the tax commission, the tax review q board, the fisheries board, the railroad commission, the board of con- is ciliation, the public service commis- n sion, the highway commission, the ^ sinking fund commission, the pharmaceutical board, the budget com- a mission, and some other like boards n and commissions. Most of these c. boards are the creation of recent sit- ^ tings of the general assembly, and 0 some of them are absolutely useless tj to the government of this state. e. Thousands of dollars are spent in the u maintenance of these various "de- q partments," and the appropriations ^ usually gc^up every year, to say noth- ^ ing of the fact the new boards ?nd f, comuiissious are ereateu ucai 1 > c*cij g year. The public service commission t] was tacked*on this year for an appropriation. The actual reduction in expendi- tl tures for the year is around $700,000, or about 11 per cent. The levy is re- a duced from 12 to seven 'mills, ap- h parently a very material reduction, h but as a matter of fact almost as t] much money is to be spent this year t] as last, and the people of South a Carolina will pay almost as much in e favos Tt ic r>nt rAlipvinp1 thp tav /y burden to double up on some in order e to reduce on others. a One may be pardoned for thinking n that the people asked for a loaf and ^ were given a stone. o f t< KEARSE BUREAU I o ?? e Kearse, March 14.?J. F. Kearse, P of the Colston section, visited in our a community Sunday. E Mr. and Mrs. L. O. Brabham, of E Olar, visited at the home of H. B. o Breeland Sunday. o .Miss Rosa Hightower spent the week-end with her parents in the Denmark section. We hear of some flu in nearby towns, but as yet none has been reported in this vicinity. We trust it will pass us by this spring. We are glad to report H. J. Ritter convalescent after a lengthy illness. He was taken to the Baptist hospital last week, but returned Saturda> night with the pleasin^news that/his physician did not think an operation necessary. Friends of Mrs. H. A. Kearse deeply sympathize with her in the death of her mother, Mrs. Boynton, which occurred in the UlmerSy section on March 3. < Mrs. Henry Glover, of Walterboro, who has been ^rith her father, H. J. Ritter, during his illness, left last week for a visit to her sister at Fairfax. Rev. (L. E. Peeler filled his regular appointment at Kearse church Sunday afternoon, preaching a forceful sermon from the text, "Turn ye, turn ye, why will ye die?'' He stressed the free agency of man but ever in contrast was the Divine hand reaay and willing to lead us in right paths, so long as we are willing to be led. The committee of the Rivers Bridge Memorial association met at the grounds on Saturday to arrange for the annual observance of memorial day. April 28th has been decided as the date this year, but, sad to say, how few of the "wearers of the grey" are left to meet -there now! Ere the years are many, none of the noble band who followed Lee and Jackson in the stormy days of the 60's will be left to meet with us and tell us the stories of that time. Now, shouldn't we as wives, daughters, sisters and friends of these old vets endeavor to make this a glad day in their lives? Should we wait till they have passed to the great beyond and _ then drop a flower on their graves? We think noc. Tis true many have come, in the past, to old Rivers Bridge with apparently no thought of the meaning of the day, but we p trust that this will be a day when all will feel the sadness of the occasion, and our old veterans will go away feeling happier for having come. ^ Renew your subscription today. ?
