The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1909-07-01

While the board of arbitrators,
who were selected to adjust the diff
ferences between the Georgia Rail-
road and the striking frcmen, which
differences grew out of the employ
ment of negro fremen.' have decided
against the white firemen as regards
their seniority over negro firemen,
still we regard their decision as VIC
tory for the white fremen, for the
arbitrators decided that negroes must
be paid the same salary as white men
flor the same work. This no doubt
will soon lead to the elimination of
negroes as fremen. for it is certain
negroes would not be employed un-
Tess they worked cheaper.

Why would it not be better for the
legislature of South Carolina to meet
in the latter part of the summer in
stead of in January? Several of our
best farmers and business men have
told us that they would not mind
serving in the house or senate if the
meeting was the latter part of the
summer when there was not so much
for them to do at home. The first
of the year is time when most
farmers cannot leave their business,
and we believe summer sessions
would give the State more repre-
sentative men in the general assem-
bly,. If this constitutional amend
ment was submitted to the people,
we believe it would carry by big
majority, and we trust that some
present member of the body will be
patriotic enough to offer such a
resolution.

in an editorial discussing Hon. R.
I. Manning, of Sumter, the Columbia
Record says: 1T was only his posi-
ton on the dispensary that kept Mr..
Manning from being elected COVER
nor in 1906 He was acknowledged
to be the most fit man in the race,
the most available. except for his ad-
vocacy of the State dispensary." By
whom, pray, was Mr.. Manning &C
knowledged to be the most fit man
in the race, and where does The
Record get its information that Mr..
Manning would have been elected
governor except for his advocacy of
she dispensary? There is no use to
discuss politics in an off year, but
we had not heard that Mr.. Manning
was acknowledged to be the most fit
man III the race. or that he would
have been governor except. for his
views on the dispensary The fact
is that Mr.. Manning never stood any
show of being elected against Ansel
and we predict that he will never be
elected governor of South Carolina

Think of this record. Bamberg is
the smallest county in the State and

pie know it. If a man deserves a

We wish every man in Bamberg
would honestly ask himself this ques-
ton: What am l doing to make
Bamberg a better business town and
a better place to live ino If the an
swer shows that you are not expend-
ing any effort along either line, get
busy. 1t will pay you as we'll as help
the town, for whatever helps the
town benefits every citizen who lives
here

Suppose every business man in
Bamberg persistently boosted Bam-
berg one-half as much as The Bam-
berg Herald. Don't you believe 1t
would benefit the town? Suppose you
try boosting Bamberg while and see
what an impression you will make on
those who don't know the town as
well as you do. -

sumo plans for the voting out of the
dispensary will be discussed. Let
the meeting also decide to enforce

that the law is enforced and make it
prohibition in fact as we'll AS in

DOUGLASS has a 13-year-old white boy
in Jail charged with killing his
brother-in-law. The boys name is

of Doan's Kidney Pills. I suffered
from kidney trouble for several
years. There were pains in the
small of my back and at times was
bothered by irregular passages OF the.
kidney secretions. The use of sew
eral remedies brought me but little
relief and when I saw Doan's Kidney
Pills advertised, went to the Peo-a

ply. Although have not taken them
long enough to justify a cure, from
the benefit already received, I feel
that it will be but short time be-

the Columbia, and running perfectly smooth. How we all yelled. and q man in the seat waved his hand in reply. but they never stacked speed. even when they made the big "S'' curve beyond the depot. They had made the distance from the Wells in eight and quarter minutes-fifty miles an hour on the desert
 The big car took on gasoline and other supplies. together with several small packages. which were stuffed hurriedly in coat pockets. and with roar louder than all of the other cars combined, the big car was away again. Six minutes. but the little Columbia was wen away in the lead. and was never headed again to the finish.
 We had long wait now. the next car, the StUdebaker. coming in about II. Not far behind was the Elmore. but entirely out of the race. and not driving to the limit. This last car was a sight Nothing but frame. en- zine. two seats and dirt. No tools. no supplies. no nothing. The good Samaritans of Vicksburg brought out sandwiches and other things. and a good deal of joshing was indulged in. There were three men in the car and only two seats. and no place behind where fly could hang on. The car had been simply stripped along the road As something would break or get loose it was left on the road. and the car pushed on. until there was no chance left to be in at the finish. Most of their troubles had occurred in the earlier stages of the race when they were racing along on the California desert fin second place. But they were out of it now, that is, the main race, but the mecha- nician stated that they had a side bet with the Doris car and he was go- ing to win that bet if he had to push the car into Phoenix The Doris was out of the race entirely at The Palms. in California
 Yet they all three seemed to he happy. in great contrast to the driv- CTS of the Studebaker. Latham be- lieved he still had a chance for d place. and after taking on a new tire rushed away in fifth place Things had gone wrong with them from the start. and they did no joshing while changing tires. The old one was thrown off. the new one tied to the frame and away without four words being spoken. An anxious word as to how far the Buick was in the lead, and then they were away.
 The Tourist came in an hour later. having had trouble at Quartzsite. Late in the afternoon dust appeared in the gap and the Pennsylvania came limping in. the last of the cars to get this far.
 We had witnessed wonderful race

but gained two of them back again
 before reaching Salome. eight miles
 farther on. The Isotta was smoking
 badly as she passed. and someone
 said that the engines were going bad
 ly. The two drivers of the Buick
 seemed to be extremely nervous. ev-
 cry motion showing the strain they
 were undergoing. Thti' faces were
 drawn and haggard. and 90 covered
 with dust and grime that tll- features were almost indistinguishable After they rushed away. it seemed at a rate of more than a mile minute. some one near me said: ''None of that for me; give me tho good i'd burro
 for the desert" and guess there
 was not one in the little crowd who did not have about the same thought.
 The two cars had come in from tie Wells in eleven minutes-siX and one half miles Of desert road in eleven
 minutes. twice as fast as the A. & C. run their Limited Express But if We thought this time was wonderful. the next finish was even better. Even now another cloud had shown up in the gap. and was coming on toward the Wells This was q real dust cloud. rising high. in the air, and hanging for d mile behind the ear. The first cars had merely stirred things up. which the next racers got the full benefit of. We cpUld make out a little black speck in frort cf a white cloud. which seemed to be chasing the car. and trying to roll over from behind Th= cloud was so large that we could see nothing of the mountains behind for some dis tance. and we knew it must be the big Kisselkar-no othe- could cause so much dust. But where was the Studebaker and the Columbia. They had left Ehrenburg ahead of the Kis sekar We looked 3t our score cards and knew that som thing lad hap pened, and everyone felt sorry for them. We were all with the two smaller cars now. and tie glasses were trained on the gap. but no oth CT fresh dust could be seen.
 Now the coming car had reached [ the Wells and we timed them also. Home it did come when it struck the straight stretch. In a minute wf knew they were making be- = time than the Buick. Long before they reached the turn mile out we Leard the heavy roar of the big car. IL seemed to be eating up the road as it came. When it turned to the south q mile out. someone called. ..'There are two of them. and sure enough. little black car was hug ging the rear of the big one, not more than hundred yards behind. The Kisselkar had stores at Nicks- burg and came roaring to Stc.', while the little one behind flashed past. going like the wind. It was

be seen. and the two would race along in plain view. They.wer so far away
 it was impossible to distinguish the cars, but of course it must be the Isotta and Buick Just before reach
 ing Desert Wells the road crosses a long flat, where there are several roads spreading out. cOnverging again in about d mile. and here we saw one of the most exciting events of the morning The cars were close togeth
 CT when they came out on the flat. then one of the little black pin points made sudden swerve to the north and some one exclaimed: They've got off on the old McAntee road and will have to turn around and go back" But in a minute We saw what was up. With a tremendous burst of speed. plainly visible even at this distance in the clear desert air. the rear car came up and hung side by side with the front car. then as the road swerved together again, came on in front, hay
 ing passed the front car and gained two or three hundred yards.
 As they approached the Wells the agent. who had field glass. mounted the truck and gave us the time as the first car rounded the point They were both together now and coming along the straight stretch of six and one-half miles like a whirlwind. The buildings at the Wells were entirely hid in the dust and we were pitying the drivers in the rear car. In another minute we could begin to distinguish . la. a.. and the agent said: The Buick is in the lead" A mile out the road sud- denly turns to the south and then straight in to the depot. As the cars took the turn they seemed to be flying along the surface of the ground. dodg- ing in and out among the trees and cactus. They were about two hundred yards apart. The roar of the exhaust could be plainly heard. It seemed that we had hardly time to get to the ground when the first car came in at full speed and stopped. the two driv CTS jumping out before the car came to a stand. One called for oil and man grabbed a can and ran to him with it. never noticing that it was gasoline and not the cylinder oil that he wanted. With a roar the other car came in and without slackening speed flashed by. a man leaning out from the side calling for direction con corning the turn at the depot. and as the timer called for the nuinJer of tile car the answer came from the dust now a hundred yards away. 'Fenner.' | ne Jsotsa "as in ,se lead again
 The Nikrent boys fussed with the car a minute or two. filled their oil tank. asked a question about the road ahead. jumped in the car and were away. They lost four minutes,
