Several years ago when the question of sewerage in Bamberg was freely discussed, it was generally decided that prices were too high to go into such a project; that in a few years prices ^ould 'be restored to normal and then a sewerage system could be installed in the town. Prices are down now, but we do not hear anything about sewerage. Now there is no money, and folks are not in a mood to add to their taxes. The moral of this matter is that the time to install town improvements is when they are needed. Conditions aTe pretty nearly equal at all times; when there is plenty of money, the prices are high; when prices are low, there is no money. Although, when a bond issue is used temporary financial depression does not hinder public improvements. A lot of improvements could be had for a bond issue now. The most striking thing at the present time is that the farmers have taken new he^rt. Other people will take new courage in the same degree that the farmer does. This is an agricultural county and the attitude of the planter is very near the attitude of all other people. Cotton is gon<?, apparently, for some years anyway. Our farmers are not laying down on the job, but are up and doing, finding new methods of making the farm profitable. The old feeling of fear wheii mention was made of going into new fields of endeavor is fast being dissipated. The spirit of venture is taking a grip on folks; they are not afraid of trying out new * crops. Some of them will prove highly profitable, others will probably be a failure. It is a joy to note the pro ducts that are being shipped daily from Bamberg and doubtless from dther railroad stations throughout the county. Incidentally some good ia Vic41-1 <y mnrio from thpgp VPT1 1UV/UCJ ID UViUQ * w? . ? tiires. While our old standby, cotton, has gone to the discard for the time, good prices are being had for other farm products, and in tihis the planter is fortunate. Market conditions are favorable and folks are getting cheerful again. It appears to be the policy of the Southern Bell Telephone company never to grant an improvement in service without first entering a vig' orous protest. In fact, this appears to be the policy of many of our public service corporations, and forms one of the most cogent reasons for *the prevailing hostility on the part of the patrons of the corporations. In our limited knowledge of the affairs of railroads, telephone companies, telegraph companies, and such mammoth industries, we can recall few, very few, instances where improvements were installed voluntarily. It probably might appear foolish for any one absolutely unacquainted with big business to suggest any policy to people who handle * millions of dollars and serve millions of people, and yet it . is the opinion of the common' consumer that perhaps ought to be sought. The telephone company secured a raise in rates that was very material, an increase that was held tn hA nnt instified in the oDinion of most people, ami at a time when when folks had reason to expect a decrease if any change at all was made. Bam'herg patrons of the company petitioned for an improved service, and were answered by the company stating that its income will not justify the installation of better service. From past experience, the people of Bamberg do not know whether this means there will be no improvement, or whether the improvement can be had if the fight is kept up. In the meantime the telephone company is fighting most vigorously the putting into effect of the legislative act restoring the old telephone rates. In some cities the telephone companj* is rendering service that is worth the money, notably in Columbia.N If it were the policy of the company to give the people of Bamberg, lor instance, service that is worth the price charged, the company would accomplish far more in stopping public hostility than by pursuing the policy of fighting the people whenever the sub j ject of improvements is broached. As a consequence of constantly opposing improvements, even though a new system is finally installed, and , it is not unlikely that it may be, the [ seed of hostility is merely fertilized, and the same old feeling prevails that the company is opposed to the , people.

Newspapers and "stock exchanges" are carrying on a bitter war against the "bucket shops" and curb brokerages in which the common people are fleeced in stock speculation. Practically the only difference between a stock exchange and a bucket shop is in clientele, one being exclusive while the other invites the hoi polloi. The elements of the gambling are the same. There is this, perhaps, that may be said of the cheaper concern, that because of the opportunity more swindlers in proportion are bucket shopping, but the sheep are shorn in Wall Street by the same methods in both places. It makes little difference to an investor whether he is "sold out" or his deposit is stolen. The tiled floors of marble palaces in the financial district have seen more men end life with bullets than have the less pretentious establishments now under the ban. Back of both stock exchange and bucket shop is a greater power than either, a power that holds the destinies of both in a grasp so tight that it is able to crush at any time.

That power, through its ability to control the money volume, can rule or ruin as it pleases. In 1907 that power brought on a panic as suddenly and as unexpectedly as if a bolt had fallen from a clear sky. New York banks refused to honor the drafts from their country correspondents and the whole country was thrown into a turmoil. wall street went wna. Money commanded almost any rate. The power, represented by an international banking institution held "the street" in suspense almost to the closing minute, then turned loose a stream of money it had obtained in ample time to have business hours before.

Pursuant to recommendation of *-u ^ T> v fi ry J T iV* mc Ddiuucig v/uuuijr ui auu j ux <y, mo landowners of the county cultivating lands adjacent and adjoining public roads are hereby urgently requested not to plow into or allow their hands to plow into the roads. Landowners are requested to plant two or three rows of crops adjacent to roads parallel with the road, so that there may be proper turning space without the necessity v of turning plows in the roads. It is against the law to allow plows to damage the roads, and it is an unnecessary practice. The county spends large sums of money in road building, and the roads belong to the people. I have no desire to prosecute anybody, but I must ipsist that this practice be stopped immediately. The farmers and tenants can cooperate in this respect, and there should be no necessity to bring action against anybody. Full notice is being given before I take such action. W. B. SMOAK, Supervisor.
