DRUGGIST GIVES
MONEY BACK.
Dodson's Liver Tone Gets a -Four
Square Guarantee from the Peo-
pies Drug Store.

When an article is sold druggist
who is willing to give it his personal
guarantee, it's a mighty strong proof
of real merit.
That's exactly the case with Dod-
sons Liver Tone It is pleasant
tasting, vegetable remedy for slow
and sluggish liver. Since Dodson's
Liver Tone came on the market the
sale of calomel has gone way down.
The reason is simply this: Dodson's g
Liver Tone is safe and harmless and
guaranteed to be factory-Calo-
mel is often uncertain, sometimes
dangerous, and no druggist wants to
guarantee that it WON'T knock you
out of days work and maybe send
you to bed.
The Peoples Drug Store sells Dod-
sons Liver Tone and guarantees it.
For you and for your children, it's a
good thing to keep bottle always in
the house.
The Peoples Drug Store will give
you your money back if you think
Dodson's Liver Tone is not worth the
price. Keep your liver working and
your liver will not keep you from
working" is good advice to go by.

How About a Sewer Line:

Now that the board of health has
passed a rule which means that every
person having a toilet with water
connection must provide septic
tank as sewerage receptacle and as
> this will mean that considerable
number of these tanks must be built,
it seems to us that the best idea
would be to get the city authorities
to build a central septic tank, say on
the power house lot, and let the
parties who have these toilets form
a sewerage company and build sewer
lines to this tank. This it seems to
us would be just as cheap as num-
Der of tanks and would provide the
town with the nucleus of sewerage
system and will hasten the installa-
ton of a complete system of sewer
age for the town. But so sure as any
considerable number of septic tanks
are built now (Which would be
thrown away in the event of sewers
being put in by the town we fear it
would be many year before any
general sewerage system would be
put in, for no one who had spent
considerable money on septic tank
would vote for bonds for sewers. Let
US see if we can't get together on this
matter and build the sewer lines as
indicated above. The plan seems to
us to be practical, and it certainly
would hasten the coming of general
system. For our part we are willing
to invest more money in the sewer
line than septic tank would cost US,
and we believe there are others who
feel the same way. This plan would
not hurt the individuals who went
into it and yet we would be doing a
good thing for the town. If any of
those who have toilets will call at
The Herald Office we will be glad to
go over our plans with them in detail
in order that we may see if we all
cannot cooperate in this matter.

Damage by Lightning.

Last Friday evening Bamberg was
visited by a severe thunder storm,
with much electricity in the air.
There was a fine downfall of rain,
which was much needed, and there
was considerable wind along with it.
The only damage, however, was done
by lightning, which entered the resi-
dence of Mr. G: A. Rice over the elec-
trio light wires, tearing up the switch
and knocking the meter off the wall.
All the lamps in the house were burn
ed out, and some hair pins and other
pins on a bureau were melted COM
pletely. Fortunately no one was in
jured.
There was also heavy electrical
storm on Saturday night, accompan-
led with a good rain, although no
damage was done here. The power
house, however, closed down during
the storm of Saturday night.

To the FidderS.

Fellow Fiddlers: Before coming to
the convention, July 18th, we want
YOU to think over the idea of some
enlargement and competitive work.
For instance, suppose we organize,
form a band, and challenge one of
the adjoining counties, put up prizes
best band takes first prize, and so
on; of course prizes will be paid for
out of door receipts to concerts. Let
the fddlers elect or select the best
players For such occasions, and ap-
point or elect officers and judges.
Then we may go a step further: one
half of the State compete with the
other half. These plans are meet
ing with tremendous success in other
States and are helpful in good many
ways. Think it over, and let's be
prepared to act, and have a great
affair at our next meeting one year
hence. SECRETARY.

STRANGE CLOCKS DESCRIBED.
Locomotive, Schoolmaster and
'Drunks" Measure Time.

A Grenoble clockmaker, Antony
Jacques, is responsible for the ingen-
ious clock which he has named Les
Heures Bacchiques" (The Hours Of
Bacchus.') One of the two drunken
individuals is drowning in glass of
colored water Stimulating wine, while
his equally helpless companion is
barely able to hold out to him, by
way of stupid drunken greeting, the
bottle which they have emptied be-
tween them, says the Matchmaker,
Jeweler, Silversmith and Optician.
In the body of this figure is secreted
a magnet which is attracted by the
steel hand of the drowning disciple
of Bacchus.
The two figures remain stationary,
but the wineglass, with the hours
painted in black on it revolves so that
while the floating figure remains sus-
pended in the water, but motionless,
the hours and quarters are marked
off by the revolutions of the glass,
which is made to turn on circular
place actuated by the mechanism Sc
creted in the base of this strange,
but attractive, clock.
The School" clock, by NJ. A. Poi
tel, constitutes a particularly attrac-
tive object for the shop window. 1t is
made to represent the old type of
schoolmaster, who, with his stick in
hand, used equally for teaching and
chastisement, is instructing an urchin
in what appears to be sum in arith-
metic, but the figures really represent
the hours, to which the teacher auto
matically points as the movement i'm
pels his arm to indicate the passage
of time.
La Mappenmonde (the map of the
world) is the name of another lngenl-
Gus mechanical device, the invention
of a modern French clockmaker OF
Bethune. The movement is in the in
terror of the globe, and causes 1t to
revolve, and so mark off the hours on
the equatorial band by means OF a To-
comotive, which, by the way, has a
separate mechanism of its own where
by, if the globe is made stationary, 1t
NAV make a circuit on its own rails
of the equator in y hours.
If the clock is used for show pur-
poses the stationary locomotive with
revolving globe is possibly the best
method to employ, as the locomotive
may then be kept always in view OF
the public; but as an ingenious and
useful clock for private use the cir
cult made by the locomotive is more
interesting.

Dispensary Election Ordered.

Supervisor E. G. Bruce, after a
careful and thorough investigation of
the dispensary petitions, has order
ed an election on the whiskey ques-
ton in this county, the election to be
held August 18th. The petitions
filed contained 633 names, and after
Representatives of the prohibition
lists and dispensary had Inspected
same, the supervisor erased from the
petitions 130 names, reducing the
number to 500.
The registration books of the coun-
ty were then revised, and when this
was done it was found that there
were 1882 registered voters in the
county, and as the revised petitions
showed 502 names there was still
the necessary one-third to call the
election, which has been done.
So now we may expect a lively
fight, and what the outcome will be
is rather hard to forecast. Many
people are opposed to the sale of IL
quor in any shape or form, and they
will vote against the dispensary
while those who are now engaged in
the illegal sale of liquor will no doubt
vote for prohibition.

The Dispensary Election.

Editor The Bamberg Herald:
So Bamberg county is to reopen
the question of dispensary or no dis
pensary. More's the pity. Why not
give prohibition a further trial? 1t
will be easier to continue prohibition
than to reestablish it.
Has it had fair trial in the coun-
ty? Because one set of officers 40
not enforce the law is no reason why
another set cannot be found who Will.
In Jim Wyman you had a man with
the courage of his convictions, at the
county seat, who made law-breakers
respect the law. At Olar Rizer is
doing what he can to suppress the
sale, and at Denmark somebody is
On the job of upholding the law.
Don't let the thought take root
in you that the law cannot be en-
forced if the officers of the law wish
it to be enforced. They may lose
some friends for time, but they will
gain the respect of even the law
breakers.
See what one man can do. In
Barnwell one man, preacher, sug-
gested that if the mayor could not
stop the sale of whiskey, to get out
of the box" and let a man get in that
could. He took the hint, got out,
and another got in and is enforcing
the law, although threats against his
life have been made. Who does not
admire such grit and courage? We
have but one time to die, and if these
men who for the sake of few paltry
dollars sell their souls and damn the
souls of hundreds of others, want the
life blood of officers of the law it is
a glorious death to die, defending
the women and children of the coun-
try.
At our town one man got up a
ClllZSuS uSSlluS, olICl IHC LdAAASI>iS .
had preached against the lawlessness
in the town, and asked the town
council to meet with us. The coun-
Gil was surprised that the sentiment
against whiskey selling was so strong,
and was assured that we were ready
with our lives and property to assist
them in the enforcement of the law.
Next morning a representative body
of citizens went with the mayor to
suspected places and told the keep
ers that the law against the sale of
whiskey had to be obeyed. A few
days later that same man saw barrels
of beer being drayed through the
streets and had it seized. Since then
the law may have been violated, but
not as much so as some other laws on
the statute books.
