The Medical Inspection Bill.

The Bamberg Herald approves the
veto of the medical inspection bill on
that ground that it does take away
the rights of parents. We would like
to know just what set of parents
The Herald has in mind. AS the rep
resentative of one set of parents we
demand that it is our right to be pro-
tected in our homes from the dis
eases that children are likely to con-
tract at the schools, and we have no
other than the public school to send
them to, and we watch our little ones
carefully, and send for the doctor at
the first alarm of illness, because we
know that the little constitution is
weak, and that the little lungs or
stomach cannot stand much, but an
other set of parents do not so care
fully watch their offspring, for they
are hardy, and the parents believe in
letting them rub against the world
when they are young, and the world
is often dirty and diseased and the
hardy ones bring the seeds of dis
ease to the helpless ones in the
school and there are new made
graves on the hillside before the glad
holiday come, all because the COVER
nor thought that new Office was
being created, and that a negro Hjani-
tor might be appointed by the school
board to make one present at the
medical examination of the girl pu-
pills, and a too large number of the
members of the house of representa-
tives of the people thought that the
rights of parents were being infringed
upon! Which set of parents did The
Herald have reference to, those who
this year may be called on to weep
over the grave of one more sacrifice
to our criminal carelessness and blind
and foolish devotion to fetish that
the children of our neighbors belong
ed to them, and they alone had a right
to control them, no matter how they
executed their trust or regarded the
rights of the COMMUNICATIONS
Times.

COTTON ACREAGE REDUCED.
Three Anderson Townships Show
Decrease Of 1857 Acres.

Anderson, Feb. 26.-According 10
returns from three townships of the
county we'll organized to reduce the
cotton acreage under the Rock Hill
plan, a reduction of about rs per
cent. from the 1911 crop will be
made. These three townships Fork,
Honea Path and Savannah-planted
6,634 acres in cotton in 1911. Ac-
cording to the pledges submitted to
the central committee the acreage
for 1912 will be 4,077 acres, a de-
crease of 1857 acres.

Frankly, we don't think very much
of the three commissioners elected by
the legislature to have charge of the
State warehouse system. AS the
Hon. Jno L. McLaurin was the orig
inator of the scheme and drew the
bill, it does seem that the legislature
would have done him the honor of
making him chairman of the COM
mission, especially as he is one OF
the largest farmers in the State and a
most energetic and capable business
man. Yet his name was not even
mentioned in connection with the
place. Of course the election OF
Messrs. McCown, Clinkscales and
Horlbeck may turn out all right, and
we hope it will.

Governor Blease vetoed a number
of items in the appropriation bill, yet
the legislature passed most of them
over his veto. In most of the cases he
was right, but he should have gone
futher. The governor did not seem to
have the nerve to veto items which
amounted to something, but rather
he vetoed the smaller appropriations.
However, he was right as far as he
went, but he should have used the
veto more freely.

A cost congress is being arranged
for by the printers of the State. 1t
should be attended by every owner
of a printing office in South Carolina.
It is likely that the meeting will be
held in Columbia some time next
month, and we hope to see large at
tendance. Let's get down to actual
facts as to what printing costs us.
Too many of us don't know anything
about the cost of our work.

There will be general regret all
over the State that Mr.. R. H. Jen-
nings, the present State treasurer,
has decided not to stand for re-elec-
ton, but we see no reason why the
position should be handed down to an
employee of the ofice-one who has
been sucking the public teat for many
years. We hope to see some strong,
man announce for the
position.

We see that the dispensary investi-

Notwithstanding all his bluster, he'll

age as a witness.

When strangers visit your town
make it point to show them what
a progressive place it is. Inform
them of all of it's good points, and
above all, be loyal to all it's institu-
,tions. Nothing impresses stranger
more favorably than loyalty on the
part of a towns citizenship.

The Herald takes pride in direct
ing attention to the statements of the
two banking institutions of this city.
Well warrant that no banks in any
town in the State can make better
showing, and if these statements may
be taken as an index to the financial
condition of Bamberg, the town gen.
orally is in fine condition.

Governor Blease signed the State
warehouse bill last week, and the
measure is now a law. What effect
it will have on conditions is prob
lematical, and the governor seems to
have grave doubts as to whether it
will be of much benefit to the farm
ers.

Bamberg needs to double her pop
ulation by the next census. We know
of no town anywhere that needs new
population more. There are plenty
of people looking for good town to
live in, and we can bring them here

Those from Bamberg who went to
Charleston and saw the races Thurs
day of last week say there was an
open bar-room at the track, but that

it. Maybe he didn't know it was
there.

1t really seems to us that the peo-
pie of Bamberg do not realize what
"a, solid town we have and what ad-
vantages we have. Compare Bam-

size and you will find that it is in
many respects the very best town
anywhere.

CHARGE OF ARSON
ON MRS. HALDERMAN
Wife of New Paris Man Will
Be Arraigned at Eaton
on Monday Morning.
palladium SpeciaD

EATON, O., Sept. 11.-Confronted
by charge of arson, Mrs. Cora Hald-
erman, wife OF DR.. Allen S. Halder-
man, of New Paris, will be arraigned
next Monday in the common pleas
court for trial before Judge A. c. Ris-
niger.
The return of such an indictment
against the woman followed one of
the many outbreaks of domestic un-
pleasantness that have at frequent
intervals brought into the spotlight
Mrs. Halderman and her husband, DR..
Allen S. Halderman. of New Paris. 1t
is alleged that after a difference be-
tween the couple Mrs. Halderman
started fire which partially destroy
ed their picturesque home, The
House of Gables" opposite the Cedar
Springs health resort, near New
Paris.
The origin of the fire was gener-
ally termed mysterious, and a state
fire marshal made an investigation,
with the result that a grand jury near
ly one year ago returned an indict-
ment against the woman. This fact
became known and before county au-
thorities could apprehend her, Mrs
Halderman had fled.
Efforts to locate her were not made
and not until her attempt to dispose
of an illegitimate child of her daugh.
ter did her whereabouts become
known. The infant was left at the
door of Mayor w. w. Zimmerman
home at Richmond.
The disposition of the child had
been made, but in order to escape a
more serious accusation, the mother
confessed to Cincinnati police. 1t was
then that she was located by local
authorities, who placed her under ar
+ rest when she returned to Richmond
couple months ago. She has since
been confined in the county Jail.
A minor son in her custody at that
time was taken from her and placed
in the county children's home Her
husband, claiming that the lad is OF
unusual inventive qualities, has long
ed for his custody and has even
threatened legal steps, but has failed
The accused woman strenuously de
MES her guilt, and the outcome OF
the case is attracting considerable at
tention.

DEATH PACT CAUSE
FOR THE TRAGEDY
National News Association

BOSTON, Sept. IA death pact
is believed by the police to be behind
the killing of Miss Mabel Clayton at
the Preble house early today by
Frank E. Ogilvie of Melrose, who af-
terward shot himself in the right tenn
pie.
The young woman died at the Re
lief hospital within half an hour from
bullet wound in the head
Ogilvie is dying.
Some sheet music containing the
song Lets Forget We ever Met"
which was found in the hotel room,
strengthens the theory the couple had
resolved to die together. The song
was open at the last verse where a
line reads: Until we say goodby."
Two seats for a Boston theater
were found. Apparently the two had
resolved to spend their last hours on
earth as happily as possible From
the theater it is believed they went
to the hotel where Ogilyie registered
shortly after midnight.
