?b* JJamberg ^eralb ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. Published Weekly at Bamberg, S. C. Entered as second-class matter April 1891, under Act of March 3, 1879. ~~$2.0d PER YEAR. i Volume 31. Number 37. , Thursday, Sept. 21, 1922. There is a feeling of genuine relief now that the railroad and coal strikes are practically settled. It has been quite impossible for the commerce of the country to regain its normalcy so, long as the strikes persisted. It is to be sincerely hoped that both sides will be satisfied for a While now, and that the people will have at least one inning in tne game. ^ < i Several South Carolina counties covered themselves with glory during the recent campaign. Four counties stand out most prominently in the anti-Blease column. They are: Allendale, Bamberg, Edgefield, and Sumter. In each of these counties there was a vote of over two to one against Mr. Blease. Orangeburg? lacked just a few votes of getting into this class. Sumter's vote was the largest in the state against Mr. Blease, while Edgefield came next, Allendale third, and then Bamberg. The Charleston News and Courier deserves the thanks of its Bamberg readers for its efforts to get the paper here as early as possible last week. When the early morning train was taken off, the News and Courier wrote Postmaster Folk that two packages of the paper would be sent here each day for a week; each package sent by different route, so that in case one package failed to get here promptly the other would. By this means the News and Courier reached Bamberg each morning at nine o'clock. Now that the early train has been restored, this is no longer necessary, as both the State and the News and Courier reach Bamberg at'6:20 in the morning. With the cooperation of the News and Courier, The Herald was enabled to give the people of Bamberg county practically full state election returns Wednesday morning of last week. Inasmuch as the county had to depend on this newspaper entirely for returns early Wednesday morning, The Herald issued its regular edition at 6 \0'clock that morning instead of Wednesday afternoon, as usual. The News and Courier kindly allowed us the use of their tabulated figures at 5:30 a. m. Wednesday. The Herald was on the street and in the ^ Bamberg postoffice before 6:30 o'clock, carrying the result of the election in both the state and county. Postmaster folk and Assistant Postpiaster Keel kindly consented to be on the job early, and the papers were distributed- in the boxes before seven o'clock. The thanks of our Olar readers are due to our good friend, M. J. Black, the "drummer," who carried the papers to the Olar postoffice. The papers were at Olar by seven a. m., giving the people there the first authentic news of the election. No daily newspapers were received in Bamberg before nine o'clock in the jiporning. The Herald thanks its many friends for their liberal compliments on the enterprise of the paper. Their thanks more than pay us for the work and expense involved. Efficiency First. ????n applicant for work at the Ford plant asked a veteran Ford employee it it were true that the company was always finding methods of speeding up production by using fewer men. "T^e veteran replied: "Most certainly. In fact," he continued, "I just had a dream which illustrates the point. Mr. Ford was dead and I could see the pallbearers carrying his body. Suddenly the procession stopped. Mr. Ford had come to life. As soon as the casket was opened he 9at upright, and, on seeing six pallbearers, cried out at once; 'Put this casket on wheels and lay off five men'."?Wall Street Journal. ) Outlook Encouraging. Fairfax, Sept. 13.?The Fairfax centralized high school opened Monday morning. The opening exercises were held in the Baptist church and addresses delivered by J. A. Cave, principal of the high school; J. E. Johnston, chairman of the board of trustees, and the Rev. J. K. Cuiium, county superintendent of education. The enrollment in the high school was 75 and in the lower grades 175. The Race. "What are all those men doing sit* ting around under the trees in the public square?" asked a guest. "Running for office," replied the landlord of the tavern at Peeweecuddyhump.. ) x Presentment of The Grand Jury State of South Carolina, county of Bamberg, court of general sessions. We, the grand jury, beg leave to herewith make our presentment to the honorable court. 1. We have passed on all bills handed us by the solicitor and the court. 2. We take this*method of thanking the court and all officials for the many courtesies shown us, and have paid careiui attention to me auie charge and instructions by your honor. 3. We have visited all the county offices and the different officials showed us all the courtesies that could be expected and find them neatly liept, and the books apparently in first-class condition. 4. Our committee visited the chain gang and find same to be in a good sanitary condition, the prisoners well fed and care for, but recommend that the supervisor and commis|ioners buy some needed mattresses and covering which will be needed the coming winter; also some flies for some of the tents, which are in very bad condition. 5. Our committee visited the county jail and found same in a very neat and clean condition and sanitary, but we find that the general condition in the prisoners' quarters 'upstairs to be that they are forced to sleep on the bare floor without any mattresses and also we find that covering is very scarce. We recommend that the proper bedding and covering be bought and placed in the prisoners' quarters at once. 6. We recommend that our delegation in the general assembly in making up the county supply bill for the ensuing year raise the salary of the county supervisor to the sum of | $1,800, and we make this recommen- i dation after taking into, considera-! tion the fact that the supervisor is uncler a very large, expense in keeping up an automobile and for its upkeep and running expenses; there is no item in the supply bill to reimburse him for same. Also we recommend that the supervisor, if in his discretion the same is needed, do purchase for the county a light truck, same to be used in instances when the heavy trucks can be done away with as,in this way the expense will be much less than in using the heavy trucks at all times. We again reiterate our former recommendation as t to the old and dilapidated toilets in ! the rear of the court house which are still in a very filthy condition, and we again urge that these toilets be! torn down, new ones built, a fence built around them and the gate leadi ing therein be locked and opened only during terms of court. ' 7. It has been called to 1 our attention that . certain par1 ties in the county are operating two wheel timber carts on the highway between Olar and Ehrhardt in violation of the law of this state, and especially on that portion of said highway between 'Mr. J. J. Kearse's place and Ehrhardt, and we recommend that this matter be taken ud and looked into by the proper authorities and have same stopped as well as in any other portion of the county where a like condition exists. 8. We recommend that there 'be bought for and installed in the offi-| ce of probate judge such steel filing devices as may be found necessary after a conference between the probate'judge and the delegation jn the general assembly; and that an appropriation be made or that purpose. 9. We desire to call speciaKat-j tention to the financial condition of! the county and the very able and careful county treasurer, whose report shows that there is now in bank to the credit of the county $64,000,' of this amounti $13,000 will be used in building the highway between Bamberg and Branchville along with federal aid, and also about $17,000 in uncollected taxes. We have no bonded indebtedness on the county but the machinery is run on a cash basis. 10. There is one more matter we desire to call to the attention of the different court officials and peace officers throughout the county, and (hat is the time and expense incurred in witnesses not appearing at court when wanted. If it is legal, we recommend that the magistrates in the county place each, and every witness under a good and sufficient bond for his prompt appearance at the courts and if then the witnesses fail to appear, that in addition to estreating the said bonds, that a bench warrant be issued and the sheriff bring in the witnesses. We have wasted one whole day waiting on witnesses who should have been at court and who have not put in their appearance. Respectfully submitted, St. C. P. GUESS, Sept. 20, 1922. Foreman.
