We have little doubt but that our
county and city officers will be Especially
vigilant during fair week, and
the blind tiger' and boot-legger will
not be permitted to ply his trade unmolested
and unafraid. This is im*
portant and timely, for it is liquor
which causes trouble at such public
gatherings.
Arrangements for the Bamberg
county fair are coming along nicely,
and with the co-operation of all a
successful affhir is assured. We are
not advised as to what amusments
wil be provided, but we trust they
will be clean. Let us not have a carI
nival company with unclean/shows
and gambling games. Bamberg has
had too many of this hind in the past.
The Democrat's duty is as much to
? vote next Tuesday as it was to vote in
the primary elections. The Herald repeatedly
urged the Democrats to register,
and we now urge them to go
to the polls and vote. The Republicans
are going to cast every vote possible
Tuesday. If every Democrat in
the state would vote next Tuesday,
the Republican vote would be so infinitesimally
small that there would
be no encouragement for Republican
candidates.
What does Bamberg need most?
No ^oubt there are a number of our
citizens who have their ideas on this
subject, and we would be delighted
if they would give our readers the
benefit of them. Write us a letter
toiling no what vnn think Bamberg.
town and county, needs most just
# now, and in this instance we will suspend
a standing rule of this newspaper.
We will not publish your name
in case you do not want us to do so.
Let us have some ideas on the subject.
"
An interesting question is just now
occupying the public mind in South
Carolina, and it is whether the circuit
and supreme court judges are to enforce
the law or the chief executive.
In our humble opinion, enforcement
of the laws of the state rests with the
executive department solely, this
power being conferred by the constitution.
However, we may be wrong,
as we are not a lawyer; and just here
we will remark that the state would
be a blamed sight better off if there
were not so many lawyers in the general
assembly.
The general election will be held
next Tuesday, and it is the duty of
every Democrat to go to the polls and
vote. True there is no Republican
candidate for congress in the second
district, but congress has been considering
a reapportionment of the
representatives in congress, based on
the votes cast in a general election,
and this makes the matter of a full
vote next Tuesday an important matter.
The Herald hopes to see practically
the same vote cast next Tues- J
day as there was in the Democratic
primary. Do not neglect this grave
duty.

We have seen very little discussion
in the press of the state as to the
idea of paying taxes on the installment
plan, but we have been advised
that the city of Charleston has follow+V>ic

state and the smaller towns? We

ers on the subject. The views of our
rural population would be interesting,
for, in our opinion, they are the
ones most vitally interested and who
'would enjoy the greatest benefits
from such a system in this time of
I
general depression and scarcity of
money. In endeavoring to reform
and bring up-to-date,our antiquated
tax system, the general assembly
would do well to give serious consideration
to the idea of the installment
plan of collecting taxes.
Says the Bamberg Herald:
"The Columbia State, under the
heading, "Our Home Geography,'
with the headnote, 'More of those little-known
South Carolina place
names,' included 'Lemon (Bamberg).'
Our friend fails to do us justice.'
There is no such place, or location
in Bamberg county known as
'Lemon.' Perhaps the State refers to
that magnificent lowland designated
unofficially, if not officially, as 'Lemon
Swamp.' But we won't stand for
it being dubbed Lemon. It is a swamp
and we want the State to know it is
just as fine a swamp as swamps grow,
and moreover, it is Lemon Swamp,
with a capital S."
The esteemed and spiightly Herald
will find that the Rand, McNally
Guide to South Carolina charges?or
credits?Lemon to Bamberg county
?mail vja Bamberg.
And, if we were a' snapper-up of
unconsidered trifles, we might add
that in Richland county is no newspaper
yclept the Columbia State!?
The State.
Oh! Now we see. The State refers
to that supurb station oiythe B. E. &
W. railroad, and since the State pins
its faith to Rand, McNally, perhaps, it
is not wholly blamable. The venerable
BeVry Benson, whose image
adorns the confedrate monument in
Augusta, once corrected Webster's
dictionary, and was suitably rewarded
therefor, and w*hile we are not exnontine
ariv reward suitable Or Other
? , l
wise, it now becomes our painful but
necessary duty to correct the above
mentioned Rand, ^fcNally. The
station indicated in the Rand, McNallv
map as "Lemon" should be
Lemon Spur, and the archives of the
railroad will so show. And, parenthetically,
we might add Lemon Spur
is just as fine a spur as Lemon Swamp
is a swamp. And?we accept the
rebuke of the last paragraph of the
esteemed State.
Carry On.
When Private Hanrahan went into
the army he picked the ammunition
train as a man's job of the sort
he had been accustomed to on his
road construction gang. His ideas
changed slightly when the sergeant
ordered him and the rest of a squad
of rookies to toss big shells into an
anto truck to be taken to the front.
Hanrahan walked around the
shells, regarding them intently, but
evincing no inclination to manhandle
them. The sergeant, noticing his
hesitancy, bellowed:
"Wottsamatter? Scared of 'em?"
"Scared of them nothin'," retored
Hanrahan contemptuously, "but
sarge, I enlisted for the duration of
the yar and I want to stick around
until she's through duratin'. An' besides,
tomorrow's pay day." I
Knows His Capacity.
A Scotsman had been invited to a
dinner party and later -in the evening
was discovered by the hostess in a
room all by himself and looking the
picture of misery.
On being asked what troubled him,
he turned to theliostess and remarked
solemnly, "Do ye realize wumman
that I've lost 30 shillings at cards wisome
o' yer veesitors?"
"Indeed, I am sorry to hear that,
Mr. McGregor, but the loss is not j
' deadly. Come into the buffet and have ]
a drink. And we have some fine cold |
ham there."
"Na, na," said McGregor, despair- '
ingly. "I canna eat 30 shillin's worth;
o' cauld ham!" '

DENIES DESERTION.
Woman, 100, Says She Was Not Disappointed
by Her Lover, Aged 80.
Grandma Emma McMahon, a centenarian
of Kansas City, Kan., on Monday
declared she "never was so put
out in her life," as she has been at recent
reports that Sims Tewks Berry,
80, had left her "waiting at the
church," so to speak. There was only
a mock marriage, Grandma said, and
the suggestion for a repetition of the
-
ceremony when reporters were in attendance,
but Mr. Berry was not, in
her belief, was to have been a mock
wedding also.
The venerable couple were photographed
on the first occasion at the
home of one of Grandma's daughters
last Tuesday night, with Mr. Berry depicted
as placing a ring upon Grandma's
finger. Mr. Berry today was "not
in" to callers except those who catne
on business.

TWO DARK SIDES.
"Cyrus Rasp ran a grocery store
down on the corner for about twentysix
years," related old Riley Rezzidew
of Petunia, "and as he done so utilized
about half of his time in denouncing
the public for a lot of thieving
hypocrites, who prayed loudly
with one hand on the Sabbath and
beat him- out of his just dues with the
other on week days, figgeratively
speaking, of course. Said he ort to
know, if anybody did, that 65 per
cent o^all humanity was intentionally
dishonest.
"Well, then a feller came along and
gave him about twice what it was
worth for his store. And ever since
he has been declaring that 90%,
of the retailers are and always have
been thieves and robbers, and men
tioning- that he ort to know if anybody
does. And as far as I can make
out, he's pre\ty nearly right on both
propositions."?Kansas City Star.

expressed the view that modern girls
are bad-tempered in a greater proportion
than were their grandmothers.
