May Put Ban on German Hymns.

London, Oct. 26.-To enable the
British clergy to recognize made-in,
Germany hymns, a list of them has
been prepared by the Guardian, a
church newspaper, which has opened
it's columns to discussion of the
propriety of using these hymns in the
English service.
If the German hymns were banned
the English hymnal would be depriv-
ed of some of its oldest and most
popular numbers. Luther's famous
version of the 46th psalm, "a Sure
Stronghold our God is He" would
be perhaps the most regretted of all
excisions. Other familiar numbers
of German origin are, "Hark, the
Herald Angels Sing" Sun of my
Soul, my Savior dear" Christ
whose Glory fills the Skies" CAS-
with Gladness Men of Old" "Christ
the Lord has risen again" 1--WE
plough the Fields and Scatter;
Hail to the Lords Amounted" "Oh
Happy Land of Pilgrims" and Com
nit Thou all Thy Ways"
Lutheran hymns are popular not
only in the Wesleyan Methodist
church. which is allied to Lutheran
ism. but also in the Church of Eng
land, which regards itself as part
of the ancient Catholic church and
not a part of the reformation.
Since the Wagner nights excite as
much enthusiasm as ever in the
Queens Hall concerts, it is not be-
lieved that the agitation against Ger
man hymns will find strong follow
ing

The Herald takes great pleasure
in congratulating Senator J. B. Black
on his vote against the proposed cot
ton bond issue. He was one of three
senators who had the courage to
vote against it, and we heartily COM

feel sure that other senatorsfeh just
as he did, but were afraid for their
political scalp. To our mind the
scheme is absolutely indefensible
from every standpoint. and will be

cotton as a rule However, We have
no idea that the house will pass the
bill, and even if they should (there
is no telling what a South Carolina
legislature will do) it must be sub
mitted to the people. and We feel
sure that they will defeat it by tire.

In the next week or two The
Herald proposes to take up the mat
ter of extending the water mains and
putting in a sewerage system for
Bamberg. True, business conditions
at present are not favorable for the
selling of bonds that would have to
be issued for this purpose, but it
will take some time to perfect all
arrangements for the issuance of the
bonds and by that time possibly fl
nancia1 conditions will improve. This
is too important matter for the
town to put off, and as there are no
legal obstacles in the way of issuing
bonds for this purpose, we should
take this long step forward for the
health of the town. as we'll as its
progress and growth. We might as
we'll admit that people who are not
familiar with Bamberg have an idea
that it is not a healthful town. on
account of its location, and we know
of nothing that would be of more
benefit than a sewerage system. In
the articles We expect to publish
practically definite figures as to the
cost of these improvements will be
given as we'll as other information
which will no doubt be of interest.

The bill introduced in the house
by Messrs Miley and Hunter, which
abolishes the dispensary constables
in this county, has passed both
branches of the general assembly and
been signed by the governor. This
bill removes the constables from the
county November 1st, and no more
constables will be sent here unless
requested by the county dispensary
beard. The Herald published The
bill last week. We are delighted at
the action # our legislative ielega-
ton, and we feel sure the taxpayers
will appreciate it. There never has
been any use for the constables in
this county, and they were useless
expense.

The Newberry Observer is.oppoSed
to any amendment to the constiNl-
ton, on the ground that if the con-
stitution is to be patched up every
year or two. it would be better to
cali a constitutional convention to
write a new constitution. 1t does
seem somewhat one-sided for the
State to pay out several thousand
dollars in order that certain town
may vote more bonds than the con-
stitution allows-often the sum in
volved is very little more than it
costs the State to change the consti-
tuition.

Judge George E. Prince, of this

he usually hits the bulls eye on
time in his decisions, and in his ut
terances on public questions. Every
one is familiar with his clear-cut
and logical conclusions on the com
mon school system in the State, and
the duty of parent towards his
children in the matter of giving them
educational advantages. Many
charge to the grand juries of the
courts over which he has presided

out with a brand new idea. and in
keeping with the buy-a-bale move
ment, one which will undoubtedly be
novel in it's application. Over in Sa

and battery and fined 500 by Judge
Prince. The defendants counse
complained that their client was c

 A marked improvement at the lodge this year is the new dock that has been built. The dock this year extends about 20 feet further out into the stream and makes a convenient place for boats to land at low water as well as providing an excellent place for swimming. New flooring has been laid on the platform in the rear of the building and the lodge is in good con- dition for the season.
