As voters they have the right to align themselves with the Democratic party. It is safe to say that the meet-* ings will be orderly with the women present; not that it is customary for the meetings to be other than orderly at all times. They will exert an exemplary influence, and as women as a body have never represented any" * ~ y x x 1 mnf 1VOC it 1C tfling OUt IXItJ liig-UCOt mwn.vu, aw aw/ not at all unlikely that they will be a tremendous factor in the Democractic party in South Carolina. The first step toward the development of "Greater Carlisle'' was taken I Thursday when the contract was . awarded for the erection of the new dormitory to. accommodate more than one hundred cadets. A general development scheme has teen worked out for Carlisle school, the realization of which will now be worked for by the friends and authorities of the school. Bamberg is a logical site for an educational center, and Carlisle school forms a splendid nucleus. Within the next five or ten years Carlisle Should be far more than a preparatory school, although in its present capacity it is filling a large func-1 tion in the educational system of South Carolina. Carlisle is a real asset to the city of Bamberg, and every step in its growtn win continue to be watched with ever increasing interest by the many friends of the institution here and elsewhere in the state. Says the Calhoun Times: "The Bamberg Herald is discouraged over the apathy of the public towards the extravagance and useless commis r;- ;\ sions in our state government. We have been with you, brother, but the jig is up. Call off the dogs. The trail is too cold and the fox beyond the reservations." No, friend, our dogs if. decline to be leashed. The trail is pretty cold, but the old time Indians t hunted the more studiously when the trail was hard to find, and he generally found it. We are sorry our Calhoun contemporary has decided to lay down on the job, which is another - evidence that the apathy is growing. And .The Herald is not discouraged? I quite. In fact, the people will wake up, and there will be a considerable quake in the awakening process. We should very much prefer to see the somnolence thrown off gradually. The consequences would not be nearly so shocking. _ \ m m v The information contained in an article on another page of this newspaper that the contract will be let on May 8th for the building of the road from Bamberg toward Branchville to the Edisto river will be read joyfully by a large portion of the population of Bamberg county. This is one of the most important and one of the most traveled roads in this section- It would be traveled more, if it were a -good road. The people inf the sections through which this road passes deserve a good road, and The Herald is glad that the county authorities insisted on building it at once rather than wait until after the bridge over the Salkehatchie is built. The Herald hoped that it would be possible to do both jobs this year, but if this cannot be" done, and the authorities assure us* that it cannot, then we think it better to proceed with the Branchville road. We trust, however, that it will be but a matter of a short time before the reinforced concrete bridge over the Salkehatchie can be added to the county's highway system, i Utopia has been found, if our friend, the Dillon Herald, will pardon the phrase. In a recent issue, discussing the fine* qualities of Dillon, the Herald says this: "It is a town in which there is no luaiing on the streets or no chair-warming in front of stores." What's the matter with the Dillon folks? Is it possible that they have forgotten or never learned the joys of a rocker in the shade of the old Main street apple tree? Or, perhaps, the local supply of checker boards has exhausted. Or. again, the boll weevil must not have become such a portentous subject for street corner conversation. A better explanation, still, may be that our contemporary, the Herald, is edited and published by the genial Arthur Jordan, who spent so many years of his life in the environs of Bamberg that he just cannot neip seeing tne gooa tnings about his town. We cannot say that we have many chair-warmers in Bamberg, but loafers?well, we have just a few; but, bless 'em, what on earth < would we do without 'em? And. besides, they are not loafers; retired business men, capitalists, and gentlemen of leisure they are. Of course, if we did not have them?but, reverting back to the original question, Dillon has our congratulations. It's a fine town; it has a fine paper, and i the town ought to grow and prosper with such a good patron as the Her- i aid behind it. The machinery of the government of Bamberg county and .the state of South Carolina is in the hands of the Democrats and is likely to remain so. It, therefore, is of the utmost importance that the Democracy of South Carolina should represent the highest ideals of the commonwealth. The T-l ? 1. -- ? V, A uemucrauc luwiisiup uuus xuim foundation of the Democratic party, and any improvement in the party '< in this state must originate with the i clubs. The club meetings will be ] held next Saturday afternoon i throughout, this county at four i o'clock, unless otherwise advertised. ' If you are a Democrat, and it is a thousand to one chance that you are, i your place is in the club meeting of your township. It is your duty to see that representative citizens are named as delegates to the county convention and as county executive committemen. The country is undergoing a critical period; men of undoubted wisdom and lofty purpose are needed at the helm of the party. If the wave of crime is to be banished in this state, it will be the Democrats in office that will do it. If the prohibition law is to be enforced, the job is up to the Democrats. It is, therefore, of the greatest importance that the party machinery should represent the will of the law-abiding m'tizonc The average Democrat will have no voice save at these club meetings. It is your opportunity to participate in the affairs of the party. "A" in "Deportment." "You should return good for evil, Willie," admonished Mrs. Brown.
