Those tax payers who believe that
the State should spend about one
million dollars on improving the
State house will vote for the present
governor and members of the legisla-
ture who believe in his policies.
Those who are against this tremen-
dous expenditure of money and who
believe that taxes are too high now
will vote against him and those who
would carry out such extravagant
ideas. The issue is plain and cannot
be escaped. There is no middle
ground this year. No man can serve
two masters.

On Saturday, April 9th, the
Democratic clubs will meet to reor-
sanize and elect delegates to the
county convention, which in turn will
elect delegates to the State conven-
ton. We want to say a few words
in all frankness to our people. For
years the attendance at the club
meetings in this county has been
very small, only a small number at
tending. If the business men OF the
county-those who pay the taxes and
bear the burden of government
want reform in our government they
must attend the club meetings and
see that sensible business men are
sent as delegates to the county con-
vention. A man cannot expect to
have any influence with the mass OF
voters on election day unless he shows
some interest in the public business
before election day. The business

attended their club meetings, and
they should do so by all means, for
here is the very fountain head OF
overnment-where the election ma
chinery is put in motion. Don't
stand back and say you are not in
politics and it is none of your affair
1t is your business and your duty tc
see that your ideas are carried out
in political matters, for here your
public servants are elected. 1t vii
be too late to get busy on election
day. Let's start at the very founda
ton. We hope there will be large
attendance at every club in this coun
ty when they meet on Saturday, the
9th.

The Herald has no great liking for
sending out political supplements or
in fact any matter not prepared in
it's own Office, but We need the
money which Mr. Underwood's cam
paign manager paid us. But we are
frank to say that if this newspaper
received the local support which it
merits, we would not accept any
thing of this character at any time.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1912-04-11

1t may not be popular, but The
Herald stands for doing away with
the present system of paying county
officers by allowing them fees in lieu
of salary. We want to see every Of
flee put on a straight salary basis,
and every cent of income from fees
to 60 into the county treasury. This
is the business way to run county.
Well have to come to it sooner or
later.

Too Heavy to Live.

Boston, April 9.-The abnormal
weight of $50 pounds attained by
Abraham Sodekson caused his death
to-day from fatty degeneration of the
heart. He was &c years old. Four
weeks ago, when taken i'll, Sodekson
weighed 434 pounds. During his sick
ness it is estimated that he gained
weight at the rate of 20 pounds a
day

If the editor of this newspaper
was a candidate for the legislature
this year, the strongest plank in our
platform would be abolishing fees
for all county Offices and putting
every official on a salary. But we
are not a candidate and do not ex-
pect to be, but we commend the idea
to all present and prospective aspir-
ants.

The train service at Bamberg these
days is about as bad as it can be-.
Last Saturday. the train due here at
about eight o'clock at night arrived
at nearly eleven o'clock, and it is
mighty near this bad most OF the
time. Mails are delayed and the
business men are handicapped badly
on this account. The railroad COM
mission should be appealed to.
