?be Bamberg ^eralij ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891. Published Weekly at Bamberg, S. C. Entered as second-class matter April 1891, under Act of March 3, 1879. $2.0# PER YEAR. Volume XXXI. Number 32. Thursday, Oct. 19,1922. We recall that some fifteen or 9 more years ago Congressman J. O. Patterson stated in his campaign speeches that he intended to offer a hill in congress to appropriate $20,000,000 for good roads. The idea was revolutionary, and little importance was attached to it, as many folks thought it would bankrupt the government." It is interesting to recall this in view of the hundreds 01 millions now appropriated every year by the national government for highways. It is interesting to note that a -colored Baptist association at the annual convention in Aiken county has passed resolutions strongly urging the negroes to stay in the south. , The exodus to the north is viewed as alarming, and the discontent noticeable among the colored people is described as deplorable. The Herald is glad to see that the negro leaders are becoming * interested in this matter, and we trust that such interest will become general. In urging the negroes to stay in the south, the only place in this union where they have any hope of development, The Herald is guided only by a genuine interest in both the white and the colored population. Personally, this writer does not believe that the prosperity of tie south depends on the negro staying here; but we are certainly \ Very much of the opinion that they cannot successfully live anywhere in the north as a class. In this we have the opinion of hundreds of negroes themselves who have tried it, and who were only too glad to get back , where they are always assured of a good living under any kind of financial conditions. When The Herald urged all Democrats to register, it predicted more Republican activity this year than the state had known in many years. That this prediction was correct is shown in the fact that the Rev. Sigfried Blomgren, pastor of St. Matv thew's Lutheran church, Charleston, has been put forth as a candidate for congress on the Republican ticket, against Mr. Logan, the Democratic nominee, while M. P. Norwood, of Greenville, is out on the Republican - * - - * J.-U ~ ^ There have been suggestions in ] Georgia of a plan for installment payments?quarterly payments?of taxes. There are those who contend , that; such a plan is not practical in agricultural countries. Whether or r not the contention is well-founded, the proposed installment system, it is argued, could be extended to all who . desire to avail themselves of it with- 1 out putting them to advantage over those who prefer to pay or can pay, annually. When he was in city council many years ago, the late Capt. Patrick t Armstrong stuck to it until he had * y enacted the law now of force in Au- * ' gusta on the manner of payment of * . taxes?that is, one half the first half j of the year and the other half in , two equal payments later in the -5~ear?a half in April, a quarter in July and a quarter in October. The arrangement proved most wel- . come to Augusta tax payers. We are ! ,:1 ....nrrnmont fill sure tnat 3, ilKt; cti i augcwcuk. vu county taxes would be likewise wel- n -corned. Let Gov.-elect Walker re- ; member this when he undertakes the Herculean task which will come before him of readjusting the taxing system of the state. Wrhen the suggestion was made by The Herald, we were not aware that the installment plan had ever been given a practical application in this section of the country. It is interesting to note that the system proved beneficial in Augusta. As the Chronicle says, there might be some objection on the part of the agricultural interests to paying taxes quarterly, but, as the Chronicle adds, the plan as suggested by U9, does not require the payment on the installment system by any who prefer to pay all at once; on the contrary, we suggested that a discount be* allowed in order that full payment be made attractive to any who wished to pay in this manner. The plan, as we suggested it, is for the sole purpose of helping those who find difficulty in meeting their taxes annually. The average resident of Bamberg pays Uncle Sam more taxes than he does the state and county, and most of them never know it, because it goes out in driblets, but in the aggregate these driblets'amount to a large sum. Much of the state taxes are now being paid in the same manner as taxes on gasoline, etc. To a large class of people quarterly payment of taxes would be welcomed because it makes payment easier. Taxes must be paid. Why not make it as easy as possible? oc? PROGRAMME 5th Sunday Unions, Barnwell Ass'n. Oct. 28 and Possibly 29.

The Republican activity this year is far more insidious than usual', in that respectable, so far as we know, Republican candidates have been nominated. At heart the L N same old Republigan party, which we inow so well, is at work. A new suit ot clothes never changed a man inside. We urged every Democrat to - register, and we now urge every Democrat to vote in the general election. While there is no opposition to Congressman Byrnes in this district, there is likely to be a state ticket out against the Democratic nominees. A great effort is being made to get votes in every congres- , sional district, and no doubt there will be candidates for whom Republicans may cast their ballots in November. * Commenting on the suggestion of The Bamberg Herald that state, coun- j ty and school taxes be collected quarterly instead of annually, the Aueusta Chronicle says: ro the -Infant defendants, Mamie Bonaparte and Monnie Rice: Take notice, that unless you procure the appointment of a suitable and discreet person to act as Guardian Ad Litem for you in this action within twenty days after the service hereof upon you, the undersigned will apply to the Court for the appointment of some suitable and discreet person to act as Guardian ad | litem for and in your behalf.

Feeling it was time for "the girls" to be in as the night approached, adieux were said with sincere expressions of appreciation.

"Guess the boys down to Hoopenholler must have gone and lynched-the wrong feller." WHAT IS THE LYCEUM? 1 The lyceum is devoted to improvement. I The lyceum has existed in some form on this globe ever since the first human being went to another to learn how to improve. It will exist a' long while?as long as a human being needs improvement. The lyceum is the business of telling people how to improve. The lyceum leaders have been the prophets, philosophers, seers, sages, preachers, teachers, crusaders and reformers who have told the people how to improve. They have told the people about the improvement they have made or that they ought to have made, or that should be made. They have done it by different ways, some by teaching, some by questioning. Some have argued, some have scolded, i some by teachingk7d....SHDRLUUU | some have cheered. But whatever | they have done they have improved the people or tried to improve them. We got the word lyceum just like we got the word Chautauqua. It yras derived from the place where it was first held. The ancient Greek lyceum was the largest of the Gymnasia of Athene and got its name from the temple of Apollo Lycius that stood near by. Socrates used to sit around there and tell what he knew to the folks who would listen. And then Aristotle made it a business of sitting there in the porch or the grove, while people came from far and near to drink in his ideas about improvement. So when anybody talked improvement he was running another Lyceum, in. the large sense of the word. And we have to keep the large sense of the word Lyceum, or we run ourselves into a corner nowadays. Noah was giving Lyceum lectures when the loafers called him a nut. Aaron was a great Lyceum lecturer.

Each age has had its own kind of Lyceum to urge it along the Highway of Improvement. Just run a fence around all that spells Improvement and you have the modern Lyceum field. And everything that can't spell that word is outside. You can't make any other definition of the Lyceum that will stick. aT.
