Want New Bell

The sound Of the cracked bell in the
tower Of the public school building is
irritating to many Of our citizens and
a movement Is on foot to circulate a
petition asking the school board to
install new one. We understand
that they have been delaying the mat
ter thinking that before long new
building would be required IT, accom-
modate the rapidly increasing enroll
ment and the new bell could be put in
at that time. From the talk on the
streets we are inclined to think that
our people would be better suited II
a new bell could be installed at once
and many have signiHed their willing
ness to contribute toward its purchase
if the board does not take favorable
action. Let's have good bell for the
county seats school building.

fortunate in having a grandfather

everything complete was ready for

A Plea for the Garbage Cans.

At every meeting Of the civic
league since it's organization almost
three years ago, the question of keep
ing the streets clean and the town
more sanitary and attractive has been
debated and discussed. It was a
subject near and dear to the hearts
of the members from a sense OF
pride in the appearance of their
home town and a longing to see her
at least keep abreast in the stride OF
civilization with other towns her size,
for there is no surer way of marking
a towns growth than by watching
it's evolution towards the "spotless
town" class.
This class the ladies Of Bamberg
longed, oh, so earnestly, for their
town to be able to enter, and they
felt that if garbage cans might be
secured for Main street the problem
would, be solved. In most towns
these cans were furnished by the
town council, but in Bamberg the
treaury was empty, so the ladies
went to work and raised $65.52
which they expended in the garbage
cans, placing them just where it
would be easiest for each merchant
to put his trash and litter into them
and within easy reach for each pass
er-by to place his wrapping paper,
discarded circulars, fruit peelings,
etc.
Just to use these receptacles is the
only return the donors asks the mer-
chants and citizens to make for the
gift. Has this return been made you
think? A glance up and down the
streets, especially on Sunday after
noon, will answer this question.
Sometimes the ladies feel that their
efforts have been in vain, their money
wasted, and just possibly that the
citizens of Bamberg prefer dirty,
weed-grown streets.
Sometimes, too, it is a matter of
surmise as to whether the members
of the league have not forgotten their
promise to place a garbage barrel at
their back or side gates into which
all trash shall be dumped, that can
not be cremated, and this last GER
tainly means that all paper shall be
burned in the back yard.

Graded School Opening.

The Bamberg graded school will
open at 9 o'clock on Monday morn
ing. September eleventh. All pupils
who expect to attend this school this
session are urged to be present on
that morning and begin, in earnest,
the work of the year. Let it be re-
membered that punctuality and reg
ularity are two of the best assets
that any school has; and before the
session begins is the time for every
pupil to resolve that he or she will
not have an absent or tardy mark
against him at the end of the session.
Pupils who make this record for
themselves will have some special
mention made of them at the close
of the year.
Let me call the special attention
of the parents and guardians who are
to have pupils in the first grade. Let
every pupil who expects to enter this
grade at any time during the year
begin with the session. BY so do
ing, you will greatly help the teach
er and, at the same time, get better
results.
All students who have had their
promotion cards misplaced during the
vacation may obtain duplicate cards
(if they are entitled to them) by
coming to the school building on
Thursday morning before the open
ing on Monday. Also all pupils who
have been attending other schools,
and wish to attend the Bamberg
school the ensuing session, may OBJ
tain cards by coming to the school
building on Wednesday morning and
bringing their promotion cards, rec
ords, etc. Let every pupil see to it
that he or she has promotion card,
for no pupil will be admitted to any
grade until he presents his promo
ton card. By complying with this
request, much confusion will be
avoided on the opening morning.
The following is list of the names
of the teachers with their respective
grades and work:
Miss May Zeigler, first grade; Miss
Ruth Dibble, second grade; Miss o.
lie Lee Dobson, third grade; Miss
Gertrude Davis, fourth grade; Miss

Says We're Lucky.

It looks hard that a newspaper
should have to pay a business license
of $500 a year when we devote so
much space to booming the town.
Yet that is what it costs The Herald
each year. We wouldn't mind 1t so
much if council would show any dis
position to patronize the newspaper,
yet that body never thinks it neces-
sary to publish many ordinances
Bamberg Herald.
Knight, you are lucky. Over here
The Ledger pays $40 per year for the
privilege of doing business, and we
don't say it boastingly either, but we
devote more space to booming the
town than any other paper. Maybe
it's because our efforts are so, fruit
