THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.
Genuine Merit Required to Win the
Peoples Confidence.

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out Of sight and are soon for
gotten? The reason is plain-the
article did not fulfill the promise Of
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to a medicine. A medi-
cinal preparation that has real cura-
tive value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy
Is recommended by those who have
been benefited, to those who are in
need of it.
A prominent druggist says: "Take
for example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, a preparation l have sold for
many years and never hesitate to rec
ommend, for in almost every case
it shows excellent results, as many Of
my customers testify. No other kid
ney remedy that 1 know of has so
large SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony Of thousands who
have used the preparation, the sue
cess of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
due to the fact that it fulfills almost
every wish in overcoming kidney, liv-
er and bladder diseases, corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Ad-
dress DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamp-
ton, n. Y, and enclose ten cents; also
mention the Bamberg Weekly Herald.

1t has not been our pleasure to lis
ten to the platforms of the legislative
candidates in this county, as we have
not attended campaign meeting, but
from the accounts of the meetings
we notice that some Of them stand
for measures which this newspaper
heartily advocates. However, we
would be glad to have each candi-
date for the legislature express him
self as to whether he favors putting
every county officer on a salary, the
fees and costs collected to go into
the county treasury. The fee sys-
tenn is entirely wrong, and it is not
business-like to conduct the affairs
of the county in any such manner.
In our private affairs We pay certain
amounts for certain work, but in
county matters we elect a man to IN
Office and he never knows what his
salary is going to be. In conversa-
ton with one of the very best men
in the county a few days ago he ex-
pressed himself as favoring a stated
salary for all Offices, and asked us
why We did not discuss it, now that
our county campaign was on. We
discussed this same idea two years
ago, but nothing came of it, but now
in the name of the people who pay
taxes we ask our legislative candi'
dates to state whether they favor
the fee system or stated salaries fol
county officers. If there is any good
reason why the fee system is better
we would like to know it, and only
by a discussion can the weak and
strong points of each method be ar
rived at. We trust, therefore, al
| the campaign meeting at DenmarE
next Wednesday our legislative can
didates will discuss the question.

end the colloquy. Il do IT come to
apologize for my record" said Mr..
Miley, ''be it good or bad" He may
have made mistakes, he said, but
they were of the head and not of the
heart. He has acted regardless of
factional feeling and differences in
the discharge of his duties as repre-
sentative. Has had no dictator and
was not the man of any man or set
of men. He told of the things which
he had accomplished for the advance
ment of the State and county. AS
to ed:cation, he opposed a compul-
sorry school attendance law, and said
if it was made more convenient for
children to attend school, that such
a law would not be necessary. He
thinks the law undemocratic. He
has been misrepresented, he says,
regarding his vote on the one-mill
school tax and defended his position.
He said he had been twitted because
he had opposed the medical inspec-
tion of school children and explain
ed that his opposition was due to a
failure Of the medical men to keep
the faith with him. that they had re-
quested that he support bill pro-
viding for inspection by physicians
to be chosen by parents of children
and that free Of cost, but that they
had tackled on fee of 25 cents for
the inspection and that it would cost
the State 100000 for this purpose,
which would come out of the school
funds of the State. He has been
attacked for his opposition to the
Sanders bill for the elimination of
houses of ill-repute in cities and
towns, he said, and wished to explain
that his opposition was due to the
fact that this would deny the
violators the right to be tried by ju-
ry, a right guaranteed them by the
constitution, and it was for that rea-
son that he opposed it. Had they
been allowed to be tried by jury, he
would have supported it. He called
on Dr.. Rentz to explain why it was
that he came to him some time ago
and endorsed his course in the legis-
lature and promised support and then
came out in opposition to him. Re-
garding the petition of the Olar vot-
ers, he said he could not say that
he endorsed or did not endorse the
present administration and cited in
stances in which he had voted to
override the veto of the governor

1t may be that my retirement from
the newspaper business will be only
temporary, and, on the other hand,
it may be permanent. Feeling as l
do now, | do not know that l shall
ever want to have the active manage
ment of a newspaper again. have
been in the steady grind since jan
uary, 1894, when with my brother,
we bought the Sumter Herald. /
bought The Bamberg Herald in 1899,
and came here and assumed charge
the first of July of that year. For
exactly fifteen years I have been ION
the job," and l feel like little rest.
l mean by this rest from newspaper
work, for a postmaster does not have
an easy time by any means, and /
shall seek to develop it and give ii
the same attention have my private
business. In fact 1 think my record
since l have been public official will
prove that l have kept alive to the
interest of the patrons and have done
a great deal to improve the service
during my administration.
But have already said more than
I intended to. I shall not say good
bye to the many kind friends that l
have made while editing this news
paper. 1 will continue to keep in
touch with those who read The Her
aid. No doubt I may write some for
it occasionally, and my articles may
not be signed either, for l have an
idea that my views on public ques-
tions will tally with those of the
young gentlemen who will succeed
me, and I am of the opinion that they
will not object to printing what ]
may write. l want my friends from
the country to drop in the office
when they come to town, just as they
have always done. The postofice is
next door to The Herald, and they can
easily find me if they want to shake
my hand, but I want them to come
in and make themselves at home with
The Herald, for they will be welcom'
ed just as always.
There is no reason why The Herald
should not grow and prospes. The
young men who will run it have en-
ergy, enthusiasm, and optimism. They
are hard workers, and know the news
paper business thoroughly, and l ex-
pect to back them in every way pos
sible. I am not so young as l used
to be, but possibly my years OF ex'
perience have made me wiser in some
respects, and I shall give to the new
management the benefit of this ex-
perience, should they need it. con-
fdently expect the paper to grow in
circulation and influence, and 1 can
safely promise that it will always
keep pace with the growth OF the
community and county. Bamberg
is growing right along, and it is 60
ing to keep it up. We are going to
be a real city in few years, and in
this growth The Herald expects to
be an important factor.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

With the first day of July my con-
nection with The Herald as editor
ceased, for on that day l turned the
entire management over to Messrs.
R. M. Hit and R. NJ. Bruce, who have
leased the paper from me and will
conduct it in future. have sold
them the stock of goods in the Herald
Book Store, and they will also con-
duct that business. All accounts due
The Herald and the Book Store up to
July 1st are payable to me, but ac-
counts can be settled at the office as
formerly, and our customers will be
put to no inconvenience on account
of the change. In fact the business
will run right along without a hitch,
for still own the paper and will take
a personal interest in it just the same
as formerly. The only difference
will be that I will not devote my per-
sonal attention to it. In fact, I have
not given the paper much of my time
for many months, having devoted
the greater portion of the day, and
some times at night, to my duties as
postmaster. Hereafter I expect to
devote all my time to the postofice.
l am turning over The Herald to
these young gentlemen because I
feel that they are worthy and that
their efforts should be in the interest
of themselves rather than an employ
er, so am giving them chance to
show the stuff of which they are
made. And you may be sure l be-
lieve they are made of the right sort
of material or 1 would not turn over
to them a business to which / have
devoted the best effort and the best
years of my life in developing. That
: they will make good" l am fully sat-
isfied. They are honest and honora-
BILE young men, who will strive to
maintain the Standard of The Herald
and improve it if possible. They will
stand for the best interests of Bam-
berg county and its people, and every
worthy enterprise and progressive
movement will have the hearty sup
port of the paper.
Mr.. Hit has only been with The
Herald for the past six months, but
I have known him for some years,
as he formerly ran newspaper in
Aiken and has done newspaper work
in other parts of the State. He is an
Aiken county man, and you know
Aiken is not far from Bamberg.
Roy Bruce has grown up with
The Herald you might say. Away
back in 1891 he came to the paper as
a little bit of boy in knee breeches
to learn to set type. When l bought
The Herald in 1899 and moved here
from Sumter, he was not with the
paper, but the next year he came
back to work for me and has been
with me ever since-fourteen con-
secutive years. What he knows of
the newspaper business taught him.
He has been a most faithful employee
in every way, and | am sure he is we'll
fitted to meet the responsibilities
which will fall on his shoulders. |
can heartily commend both young
men to my friends and patrons, and
/ trust they will give The Herald a
larger patronage than it has received
heretofore. Of course my interest is
still with the business, and shall es-
