A town that is large enough and
good enough for man to earn his
living in, is good enough for him TO
buy his provisions in. If he does not
think so, both he and the town woulo
be better off if his tent were pitched
on other prairies.-Yorkville En-
Quirer.
That is mighty straight talk, but
true. 1t looks to US like rank in
gratitude to make your money-you1
Iiying-in place and then spend II
elsewhere. 1t is practice that is al
too common.

Guarding the President.

Cornish, n. H., July 4.-With the
arrival here today of additional Sc
cret service men, extra precautions
we're taken to guard President Will
son from cranks who might be stirred
up by the assault on J. P. Morgan and
the explosion in the Capitol at Wash
ington.
All strangers in Cornish and Wind
sor are being carefully scrutinized.

Yells from the nurse brought the

Never mind, darling,' she COM

Half an hour later wild shrieks
from the baby made her run again
to the nursery.

is the matter with the baby?'
Nothing. muZzer, said Billy,

We hear a good deal hese days
about woman suffrage, "sufferage,
as many enthusiastic members Of the
fair sex might term it. Amt got
nothing to say about it in the way
of an opinion. Don't know much
about it, and if | knew, don't know
as | would say it. Waters too deep.
Might say. however, that the women
seem to have control of things toler-
ably we'll anyway. They use their
weapons pretty we'll, too. We don't
know a fractional part of the influ-
ence they do exert. but every once
in a while it leaks out where a wo-
man directed the men in doing what
they thought was the right thing
or the thing they wanted done. Here's
a new one, just come to light. It's
where a woman accomplished some
thing that, from what we can learn,
the backing Of thousands of dollars
could not do: what jury refused to
do. and what some twenty judges and
six courts declined to do. When the
committing of the sentence of Leo
Frank was up before Governor Sla-
ton. powerful pressure was brought
to bear on him to save Franks neck
The pressure. however, We are told,

How to Tell.

How can you tell a woman is
only shopping?"
When they intend to buy they
ask to see something cheaper. When
they're shopping they ask if you
haven't something more expensive in
stock

We have a whole lot Of laws on
our statute books. Most Of them are
good, or have good intentions, but
are so utterly useless. l think that
if we have a law it ought to be en-
forced. If the people have not
enough interest in the law to see to
its enforcement, then l think it ought
to be stricken from the statutes. For
disrespect or disregard Of one law
breeds a contempt for all laws. But
one reason for this disregard for
some laws is because of the fact that
we have so many that very few OF
US know anything about half of them.
Fact is l believe it would be bene-
ficial to the people for the legislature
to remain out of session for several
years. BY that time, maybe, the su-
preme court will have thinned our
laws out to stand. Our State legis-
lators are good men and all that, and
I would not utter word Of criticism
against them. for | have no idea
could do half so we'll. but the fact re-
mains that large portion Of oui
laws are useless because they are not
constitutional. Reminds me of a
lawyer | used to know who made a
good income from appealing cases on
the ground that the law violated was
not constitutional.

Vice President Threatened.

St. Louis, July 4.-Thomas R Mar

There are very few of us who are
careful enough about what we do and
say. We have a thought to burst it
self upon our minds, and proceed to
infiict it upon those who are patient
enough to listen. ItNhas been said
that there is no limit to the capacity
of. the human mind. believe this
is true, but so few of US make much
effort to develop our minds. We
that is some of us, happen to be
one who does not-take physical eX-
ercise to develop our bodies, and it is
all very we'll. 1t should be done.
Used to do so myself until got out
of the habit. But who is it who
gives the same attention to the great
est part of our being-our intellect?
think that the average man who
is down and out is in that condition
because he does not use his thinking
machine enough. If all Of us thought
seriously, even but for small mo-
ment, before we expressed an opin-
ion, we would not be wrong so many
times. And then we would not have
to commit a second offence against
ourselves in order to maintain our
position.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1915-07-08

BY the way, l remember reading
last winter in The Herald that our
friend, NJ. J. NJ. Grimes, had young
orange tree that had some nice fruit
on it. l believe it was stated that
the tree was raised out of doors, and
was quite hardy. Now | always did
feel that that Florida and California
climate was not much better than
ours. If We can just add a few
orange blossoms l am sure there
would not be a great amount of diff
ference.

THE OUTLOOK.
By the Observer.

Somebody has been missing a
mighty good chance to supply the
Bamberg markets with canteloupes.
watermelons and fresh vegetables
this spring and summer. IL must be
possible to raise these commodities
very early here, for some of my
acauaintances have had them all
along. Those Florida melons and
vegetables are not nearly so good
as those raised here at home. | be-
lieve that the farmers should plant
of these things, with an idea of get
ting them on the local market early
enough to compete with the shipped
in articles. am not much of a farm
er myself, and my farm" is quite too
small to raise things to sell on, but
if had a nice fertile farm as big as
some folks around Bamberg, | believe
I could raise melons and fruits and
vegetables about as early in the sea-
son as our Florida friends. we
should not miss an opportunity to
make everything our people consume
right here at home, if it is possible.
