Letter to H. j. Brabnam.
Bamberg, S. C..

Dear Sir: No man is in position
to influence men with regard to
their property more than you in that
little room where they tell you their
troubles. Pity it you don't know how
to keep house dry and sound, any
sort of structure, house store factory
warehouse shop barn fence any
sort Of fence, except rail; with paint.
What paint? The paint that takes
least gallons; for paint costs money,
and putting it on costs twice as much
as the paint.
That is short; but that's all; it in
cludes the rest. One paint wears
long, another wears short; but the
one that wears long is the least-gal-
lons-paint; least gallons means pure
and strong, and the most-gallons
means adulterated and weak, besides
small gallons.
Paint is one of the biggest inter-
ests in the United States; not the
business of making it; no, the busi-
ness of paint, taking care of proper
ty. Paint is worth a great deal more
than it costs, and the best costs least:
Deyoe. Yours truly
19 F. w. DEVOE & co.
P. S. J. A. Hunter sells our paint.

The Campaign Fund in Bamberg.

We must say that the Democrats
of Bamberg are not as enthusiastic
as they should be over. the towns
contribution to the National Demo
cratic campaign fund, and we believe
that it is due largely to their lack
of appreciation of the work which is
to be done if the Democrats are to
have a representative in the White
House in 1909. We should all re-
member that because South Carolina
and the rest of the Southern States
will go solidIy Democratic is no
necessity for the work to stop at
simply voting. There are doubtful
States which we must bring over to
our side, and it will cost money to
send speakers of ability into this ter
ritory to convince them that their
course is wrong and that ours is
right. How long will Bamberg re-
frain from shouldering her part of
the burden which is naturally laid
on the State of South Carolina?
Other towns are coming to the front
with generous contributions, while
Bamberg's response is very small in
deed. 1t is true that the subscrip-
ton list which was circulated by one
of our citizens some days ago was
numerously subscribed to but not a
single amount above $1.00 was sub
scribed by any one Can we not get
few members to the five hundred
class? This class, as it is perhaps
generally known, is to be composed
Of five hundred subscribers to the Ma
tional fund, each of whom contribute
$500. The suggestion, which was
made by, public-spirited gentle
man, is being put into successful
operation and it would, to take the
selfish side, be splendid advertise
ment for the town if some of our
citizens, who can easily afford it,
would contribute the required
amount and assist in swelling the
class.
So far the State is much behind
the mark at which she should be.
Up to this writing the entire fund
collected will not exceed $1,000.
When we compare this with Okla
homa's $4,000 contribution our
amount sinks into insignifcance. 1t
may be argued that Oklahoma is
much larger than South Carolina,
but it must also be remembered that
Oklahoma is going solidly Demo
cratic, and that the State is not
twenty-five times larger than our
own State.
Below we give the status of the
fund in Bamberg, contributions for
which are received at the Herald Of
flee at any time.

MIR. W.. A. Klauber has purchased

on the handsome new front for his
store, and when completed his place
will be one of the most attractive in

of two plate glass show windows,
each with a frontage Of s x feet and
a recessed door, thus making two
very large windows to display goods
in. The top of these windows will
be set off with prism glass which has
a lighting angle of As degrees and
will afford an abundance of light

NEGRO SHOOTS ANOTHER.
Theodore Richwine Shoots and Sc
riously Wounds Willis Glover.

Last Saturday afternoon about SIX
o'clock considerable excitement was
created on the streets when Theodore
Richwine shot and seriously wound
ed Willis Glover. The shooting oc-
Cured on the street in rear OF the
dispensary. At first it was feared
that Glover would die, but he is i'm
proving right along and will no doubt
get we'll. The shooting was done with
a pistol, the bullet entering the left
breast just below the heart and go
ing almost through the body. 1t
ranged downward and was cut out
of the back, just to the left OF the
spinal column.
We have not heard definitely what
caused the shooting, but from what
we can gather it appears that there
was no previous bad blood between
them, and that liquor was at the bot
tom of it. Both negroes were drink
ing and got into discussion as to
who could whip the other, and the
shooting resulted. Richwine was at
once arrested, and is now in jail.
