- the state and the party by attending
and taking part in the club meetings
on April 22 at the various precincts
in the county.
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

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.

BUSTING THE BUCKET SHOPS.
Little Gamblers Swept Aside by the
Big Ones.
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. The

healing the inflamed and irritated tissues.
A box of GROVE'S OPEN-TRATE
SALVE for Chest Colds, Head Colds and
froup is enclosed with every bottle of
HAYES* HEALING HONEY. The salve
should be rubbed on the chest and throat
of children suffering from a Cold or Croup.
The healing effect of Hayes' Healing Honey inside
the throat combined with the healing effect of
Grove's O-Pen-TYate Sabre through the pores of
the skin soon stops a cough.
Both remedies are packed in one carton and the^
cost of the combined treatment is 35c.

That power, through its ability to
control the money volume, can rule

In 1907 that power brought on a
panic as suddenly and as unexpectedly
as if a bolt had fallen from a

NOTICE CONCERNING PLOWING
IN PUBLIC ROOADS.
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.
