FOR DECENCY IN PUBLIC SPEECH

We were approached a few days
ago by one of the most prominent
citizens of this community, who told
us that there was a movement on
foot among the very best people of
the county to form an organization
of about one hundred men to see that
the speeches of the candidates for
public office this year were confined
absolutely to public issues, and that
no personalities or vulgarity would
be allowed by any candidate, no mat
ter who he was.
Several gentlemen were in the
crowd, all of whom endorsed the idea
heartily, and it is safe to say that
the movement will be carried through
and when the State and U. S. Sena-
torial candidates come to Bamberg
they will be politely notified that no
personalities of any kind or indecent
language will be allowed, and if any
candidate is imprudent enough to
start anything of the sort, he will be
stopped and that quickly. These men
say they do not want any trouble,
but they do not propose to put up
with a repetition of the mud-slinging
of the campaign meeting here two
years ago. The Bamberg speech was
published all over the country
as the dirtiest speech of
the campaign, and this town and
county got some undesirable adver-
tising as the result of it. These citl-
zens feel that it should have been
resented then-in other words they
feel that the ladies and children of
Bamberg should be protected from
such utterances, and the fact that re-
sentiment was not shown at the time
has put abroad the impression that
Bamberg people like that kind of
talk, and they do not propose to rest
under such an imputation any longer.
These gentlemen are determined in
their course, and they say if any can
didate don't think they mean busi-
ness just let him start something
and they'll soon convince him.
This is action along the right line.
Every community in the State should
follow the example of these Bam-
berg citizens. Let one hundred OF
| the best men of any county get to-
gether and demand beforehand that
nothing shall be said that could Of
fend any lady and that the meeting
must be orderly, and it will be, you
| may be sure of that. Organizations
like the one spoken of above should
| be formed in every county in the
State, and when this is done the pre-
siding officer will not have to vainly
appeal for decency of speech and gen.
tlemanly conduct on the part of the
| candidates or the audience. Bam-
berg has set a fine example. Let
| every county in the State follow

Block of Babies.

Chicago, May 19.-Twelve hun
dred children in one block were found

exclusively Polish. Louis Link with

tor to the imposing total.

The Bamberg Herald is one Of
some thousand weekly and daily
newspapers in the United States Sc
lected for publishing double page
advertisement of the Maxwell auto
mobiles. This firm recently made an
appropriation, it is stated, of $780,
900 for advertising, and the present
advertising campaign in the weekly
and daily publications is probably
the largest ever conducted at one
time. The Maxwell people know the
value of advertising and are spend
ing lot of money for this purpose.
The Herald being the only paper in
this territory carrying the double
page, it feels grateful for being con-
sidered the leading weekly.

Checks the Vogue.

~HECKS are used almost as literally
- as stripes and plaids Back-and-
white checked street suits are shown in
all the newest cuts. They are always q
good choice for the woman who need
not be very economical. For the woman
who can have only one suit the checked
ono is hardly the right choice. 1t IS
much more noticeable than one OF plain
color. and therefore the owner of one tires
of 1t more quickly than she would tire
of a plain colored suit. Moreover. black
and-white checked wooden goods does
grow soiled rather quickly. Small as the
amount of white seems to be at a glance
in such suit. 1t is really half OF tho
whole surface so il Is hardly TO be WON

When to Store the Fwrs

, while the fur is in cold storage, but the
cold-storage man will make no promise
that the eggs won't hatch as soon as
the fur is brought into warm room next
autumn.
So the point is not to let the moths
get into the fur.
While the furs are in daily use. and
the weather is cold, the moths will do
no harm But as soon as the furs are
discarded because of warm weather the
war against the moth must begin.
Moths detest light ana air. They love
warm, dark closets and drawers. SO II
for some reason you cannot put your furs
away Immediately. hang them in cool
room where there is a circulation of air
and as much light and sunshine as pos
sible Don't let sunshine fall directly on
the fur for some furrierS say that the
sunshine OF spring fades and discolors
fur.
II there are signs of moth eggs-the
eggs are white and quite big enough to
see-shake the fur out-of-doors The
best thing to do next is to take 1t TO a
reliable furrier and pay him for caring
for il.
If that Is out of the question. try
saturating the places where the eggs
are with a quart of spirits of rosemary
in which thirty grams of acetate OF
potash have been dissolved
Furs should not be brushed. The
bristles are likely to pull out the hairs
But they can be safely combed with a
cOarSe-tOOthed steel comp. ana tnlS
combing sometimes removes moth eggs.
After everything is said and done the
fact remains that the only sure way
to keep moths from harming fur is to
keep them from ever getting near it.
No fur should be put away until 1t
has been thoroughly cleaned.
Sometimes hanging in the air, IN the
shade out of doors, where the wind
can blow the hairs apart, will remove
all the dirt that has collected on 1t.
Sometimes the fur seems to be some
what oily, and the hairs appear to have
lost some OF their normal iluTnnc>S. in
such a case the fur should be sprinkied
with powdered starch and left, covered
in box or bag, for twenty-four hours
Then the starch should be thoroughly
shaken out and the fur aired
Ermine and white fox naturally show
dirt most quickly of all furs. These can
be successfully cleaned at home If the
work is conscientiously and carefully
DONE
Spread the fur piece on a table. Use
a clean, soft-bristled brush and with IT
wet the fur thoroughly with grain al
cohol. Then rub in powdered starch.
Let this dry and sprinkle, when dry,
with more starch. Cover it for couple
Of days, in a box or bureau drawer.
