The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1903-06-25
Branchyille's Message.


lieye that The Bamberg Herald has as yet
reached the pinnacle of its success or the
zenith of its power, hut with the loyalty
and support which it deserves, will con
tinue to make itself powerful factor for
good and danger to evil .By the assidu-
Gus care, devotion to duty, and integrity
of purpose of the editor, we believe The
Herald will increase in strength and in
fluence, and will be recognized by the
Bamberg people as one of the best county
papers in this portion of the State.
The baseball games at Bamberg attract
ed considerable attention here, and many
of the enthusiasts took advantage of the
opportunity to witness some excellent
playing. ;.
Now that this is growing tobacco dis
trict, why not establish warehouse here,
where the growers can assort and sell
their products? As it is now the farmers are
compellet to send their tobacco to other
portions of this State to be sold, whereas
If the business MEL were alive to their
best interests they would erect suitable
buildings for this purpose. Shall we take
advantage of this excellent opportunity
or wait until the business men Of-other
town, more energetic and quicker to aP-
preciate the benefits to be derived from
such enterprises, come forward, take ad-
vantage of our apathy and thus leave us,
too much imbued with the sentiment or
conservatism, to look to others for ad-
yancement along industrial lines?
In this age of keen competition and IN
dustrial combinations this town is in sore
need of an organization like the business
league, 80 that there may be unity ana
strength in everything that tends to our
material and moral upbuilding. Some
such organization is needed to facilitate
trade, to stimulate agriculture and COM
merce, to enhance the value OF land, 10
encourage as much as possible the various
enterprises, to observe closely the lntrl-
cate details of modern business transac-
tions, to improve the condition OF the
roads, to prevent discrimination, to guard
against hasty and precipitate misappre-
hension, to foster education and to en-
deavor by all honorable means to pro.
mote the social and economic welfare OF
the town. In order to effect such results
there must be no preconceived pre1udlces
or petty chickering's, but only the ultimate
determination to succeed even at the cost
of little personal pride or pecuniary
injury in the beginning. 1t Is by tnese
means that we shall attain that ideal posi-,
ton which is 80 earnestly to be desired
and which can be secured by simply strlV-
ing after it.
