WHY NOT GET
A GUARANTEE?
Every Article of Merit that is Sold
These Days is Guaranteed-No
Guarantee Often Means Poor
Quality.
WHY NOT GET

There is very little excuse for
any person to claim that he has been
"stung' on a purchase. Fifty years
ago the buyer had to look out, but to-
day it is unusual to find merchant
who will not return the money for
any article that has proved unsatis-
factory.
An excellent example of this kind
of fair dealing is shown by the clean
cut guarantee that The Peoples Drug
Store give on Dodson's Liver Tone.
These people tell us that any per-
son who pays Soc for bottle of Dod-
sons Liver Tone and does not find
it a gentle and most pleasant liver
tonic, harmless, but sure reliever
of constipation and perfect substl-
tute for calomel, can get his money
back just as quick as they can get it
out of the money drawer.
Dodson's Liver Tone has practical
lv taken the place of calomel. 1t is
absolutely harmless, sure in it's action
and causes no restriction of habit or
diet. No wonder the drug people are
glad to guarantee it, while other
remedies that initiate the claims of
Dodson's Liver Tone are not guaran-
teed at all.

LITTLE GIRL BADLY HURT.
Struck on Head by Missile Intended
for Another.

Florence, Aug. 9.-Marie Cecile,
the little two-and-a-half-year-old
daughter of Mrs. Rosalie Young, of
Selma, Ala, who, with her mother,
is here on a visit at the home of her
uncle, Mr.. Charles A. Bucheit, was
struck in the forehead few days ago
by missile that was thrown by one
negro at another from a shanty car
in the Coast Line yards here, and was
badly injured and probably disfigured
for life. The child was crossing the
tracks of the railroad when struck
in the head, receiving an ugly cash.
The mother of the child is native
of Florence, being the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. G. Frank Buchheit, of
Decatur, Ala, who left Florence
about twenty-five years ago, and this
is Mrs. Young's first visit to her ma
tive city since leaving here.

The Petersburg Mine

It was forty-nine years ago to-
day that Grant exploded the mine
which blew up the center of Lee S
lines at Petersburg.
From a hidden ravine in front of
Petersburg a mine was dug under
meath the strongest of the confeder-
ate forts. The construction of the
mine was suggested by Colonel Pleas
ants, of the Forty-eighth Pennsyl-
vania, and was prepared by his men,
who were mostly coal miners from
the anthracite regions of the Key
stone state.
He excavated a nearly horizontal
shaft about 500 feet in length at
the end Of which and sixteen feet be-
low the surface OF the earth a large
chamber was excavated. In this
chamber were four magazines con
tanning in the aggregate some six
tons of powder, up to which ran the
fuse.
Just at dawn on the 30th Of July
the mighty blast of twelve thousand
pounds of powder was fired. The big
guns in the fort, its garrison Of three
hundred men and huge masses of
earth were thrown high in the air,
leaving a great hole (known as the
crater) where a moment before the
centre of Lees lines had been.
When the great black smoke cone
was belched into the heavens the
union artillery opened fire along the
entire line, while an assaultlng COL
umn rushed toward the place where
the fort had stood, but which was
now the great hole in the ground
made by the exploded mine.
Down into the crater scrambled
the men in blue (mostly negroes)
-and out of the crater the better part
of them never came. The men in
gray, rallying from the confusion,
concentrated from every side and
poured shot and shell upon the strug-
Cling mass of men huddled in the
crater. The federal loss wass between
four and five thousand.
The recovery of the confederates
after their centre had been blown
high into the air by the great explo-
sion will ever remain as one Of the
most amazing instances of self-pos-
session known to military history

A Tower Of Gold.

According to law promulgated IN
Germany in 1871, the S30,0OO,OOO
which France paid in indemnity to
the Prussians the previous year was
guarded in the Tower of July at
Spandau, the famous fortress situated
eight miles from Berlin. Besides this
amount of money, definitely set aside,
is quantity of gold in reserve for
commercial panics.
In order to safeguard such a mas
sive store, great precautions have
been taken for the past forty-two
years. The money is kept on two
floors of the fortress and is packed
in 1900 oaken chests. Each chest
contains $4,000 in gold. The in
volatility of these chambers is Sc
cured in the following manner: they
have triple doors with various locks
whose keys are held by certain Off
cials of the ministry of war; and
these keys each open only one door,
so that no one official is ever able to
enter alone.
The clamps of the chests are seal
ed and stamped in such a way that it
is not possible for them to be tamper-
ed with without danger of almost in
stant discovery. Moreover the weight
of each sack and chest is registered.

August 7th, 1913.
Bamberg, S. c., August 1th, 1913.
To DR.. G. F. Hair, Chairman, and
Mr.. W. D. Rhoad, Secretary, of
Prohibition Committee, Bamberg, S.
c.
Dear Sirs: Yours of August 5th
received in which you invite the SEN
ator and Representatives of Bamberg
county to attend a series of meetings
APPOINTED by your committee and
then and there to express our views
as to whether the dispensary shall
be established.
AS Representatives Of Bamberg
county in the General Assembly we
must decline the said invitation for
the reasons herein named:
/. This is a matter already leg
islated upon, and there are no issues
to be discussed that calls for legis-
islation.
9. Because we have no right as
Representatives to enter into such
discussion of the liquor question as
you suggest.
3. Because in doing that which
YOU would have us do would be a
usurpation of the rights of a free
thinking people, and who would not
desire Us to seemingly dictate to them
as to what they should do.
4. Because no Representative
should place himself in the position
of having it said that he is trying to
dictate to the people on any question
and should your invitation be accept
ed then we would be open to criticism
and justly so.
5. Because this is question to
be decided by the people upon ex-
listing laws and as Representatives
we have no right to presume that
the people want any advice upon the
subject.
Having stated our reasons for de-
clining your invitation in the manner
sent, we desire to say that as a citi-
zen Of Bamberg county and one much
concerned about her welfare. We
would not be adverse to giving our
views on the situation either private
ly or upon the stump.
We may attend some or all ofthese
meetings, according to circumstances,
but if we do it will be in the capacity
of a citizen of the county and not as
her Representative, and if any one
desires to hear our views on the; Ii
ouor question or if there is a desire
of the people for us to discuss the ID
sues with you, then we are at their
service Very respectfully,

B. W. MILEY,

Vote Against the Dispensary.

Editor The Bamberg Herald:-lf
an army of aliens, bent upon our de-
struction, should invade our country,
they would find brave men ready to
face their cannon and rife balls. We
have defended our homes with our
life's blood before, and we will do it
again and again, if occasion arise.
Strange as it may seem, however,
there is a foe, whose tolls OF human
lives are greater far than war, to
whom we hoist the white flag in
moral cowardice, and that enemy IS
the blind tiger, the lawless element,
whose god is money, collected often
out OF the mouths of defenseless
women and children.
Where is the valor displayed by
our forefathers on bloody battle
fields in days of yore?
Are we developing into a race OF
weaklings, who shall cover before
this beast? Shall we fold
our arms, furl our banners, stack
our arms and surrender our cause,
meekly' saying, prohibition will not
prohibit" Never, never, We shall
fight again if licked on August 10Th.
We mean it to be war to the death,
remembering that one can put to
flight a thousand, in a righteous
cause
There is but one excuse for the dis
pensary: the money the county will
get out of it. Shame on us that we
should wish to collect taxes that way.
We have supreme contempt for the
man who lures another to kill, and
also for the man lured. 1t is no
stretch of the imagination to say that
we do this very thing when we place
a dispenser behind the counter to
hand out slow poison to his fellows.
The difference is in the weapons
only.
The officer of the law who fails to
enforce the statutes is responsible
for lawlessness: the citizen who votes
for the legalized sale of liquor is re-
sponsible for the source of great
deal of crime. Casting a ballot is
sacred privilege, and every voter for
the dispensary is individually re-
sponsible for it. Because one man
fails to do his duty, is no reason why
another should fail to do his. He
may think that the dispensary is the
best solution of the problem, but the
truth is that it is no solution at all.
A strange reasoning that reaches
the conclusion that it is best to
legalize crime that is the source of
every other crime. He who would
propose a license on murder or theft
would be cast out with indignation,
even though these laws are f1agrantly
violated every day.

SWAT THE FLY.

The time to swat the fly is when
flies are so few that they can be sue
cessfullv swatted. To kill a few mil
lion flies day at a time of the year
when they are multiplying at the rate
of few billion is vain labor, but to
kill a dozen in April that might have
become the progenitors of a million in
August is feasible, and helps forward
the international effort to get rid of
this pest, says the Toronto Mail. That
the house fly is by far the most
dangerous disease carrier is vouched
by the medical profession. Little as
lis known about infantile paraly-
sis, the probability that the fly is re
sponsible for disseminating the seeds
of that disase amounts almost to GER
tainty. While private citizens can
usefully employ themselves in destroy
ing all the flies they come across in
the course of the next few weeks,
the medical health officer might send
out circulars calling attention to the
need of air-tight garbage tins. Flies
| breed in stable refuse, and if this
refuse was in all cases kept in air
tight containers or sprayed with kero
! sene when allowed to remain uncov
cred, it would not take long to abol
ish the house fly.
