OPINION IN CASE FROM AIKEN.
Governor Hold Oliveros Legally But
Not Morally Entitled to Office.

Columbia, July 20.-"As l cannot
proceed without legal grounds, can
not take any action unless further
steps are TAKEN" is the dictum de-
livered by Governor Manning in the
case of L. NJ. C. Oiiveros, master Of
Aiken county, which has created
much attention.
1t appears that the late Capt. w.
NJ. Jordan, who was master Of Aiken
county, died before his term of Office
expired in June, 1913. Former Gov
ernor Blease appointed L. NJ. c. Oil
veros to the Office and an effort was
made to have T. G. Croft, then sena- s
tor from Aiken county, confirm Mr..
Oliveros for Master. This Mr.. Croft
agreed to do, after Mr.. Oliveros, in
the presence Of the senator and e. 6.
Henderson, Of Aiken, \ signed an
agreement to go in the next primary,
and, if defeated, resign in favor OF
the successful contestant, according
to letter from Mr.. Croft. Mr.. OIL
veros was nominated, the State sem
ate confirmed the appointment and
he was commissioned on January 10,
1912. In the primary election ]. e.
Murray, of Aiken, was nominated for
master, and Mr.. Oliveros refused to
relinquish his Office, claiming that
his appointment held until January
10, 1916.
In his statement today Governor
Manning said:
"Mr. L. NJ. C. Oliveros in response
to letter from me called at my office
this morning and discussed with me
the circumstances of the present In
cumbency of the Office of master OF
Aiken county. l told him that I
stated in my campaign speech that I
would appoint nominees Of the pri-;
mary. I have read the agreement be-
tween Mr.. Oliveros and Mr.. T. G.
Croft, then senator from Aiken coup-
ty, before Mr.. Croft consented to the
confirmation of Mr.. Oliveros; it being
specified that this agreement referred
to the unexpired term Of Capt. w. M.
Jordan, deceased. Mr.. Oliveros also
exhibited to me his announcement OF
his candidacy for master, published
in four papers in Aiken county, dur
ing the campaign, in which he an-
nounced his candidacy, provided that
have not already the right to hold
this Office under the recent appoint
ment Of the governor and confirms
tion of the senate, for period Of
four years, as the present law pro-
vides.' I have also examined into
the statute on the term of master.
In view Of Mr. Oliveros having the
agreement with Senator Croft, I hold
that Mr.. Oliveros is morally not en-
titled to the Office, but that legally
he is, and that as cannot proceed
without legal grounds, I cannot take
any action unless further steps are
taken"

a curious feature of an automobile
tour of the Springfield Auto club was
a blind contest. No one except the
officials knew anything more about
it than that they would go through
the contest without knowing it at
some time during the trip. At the
end of the run silver cup was
awarded to one of the drivers for
having covered a certain stretch of
road in the least time.

sgd Jones, hanged in the county
jail yard at Birmingham, Ala, left
a note in his cell in which he con-
fessed responsibility for thirteen
murders. Two Of his victims were
white men, one Mobile and Ohio
brakeman, and the other Nebraska
deputy sheriff. Jones also claims to
have killed a Chinaman, Mexican
and an Indian. The law took Jones
life for the murder of a fellow con-
vict in Banner mines, Jefferson coun-
ty, while he was serving life sem
tence for another murder.

The answer to the question of what
will make Bamberg grow is advertis-
ing. Without advertising coca-cola
would be an unknown drink today.
I have, been told this popular drink
was first made in little wooden
building. But the promoter had
faith in it, and he went to work on
the product with a vim. He spent a
large part of his profits in advertis-
ing. The drink grew in popularity.
The more the product was sold, the
more the advertising appropriation.
Now it is known to every nook and
corner Of this country, and in some
foreign countries. In place of the lit
tie wooden shed, the drink has a mag
nificent twenty-story marble build
ing in Atlanta, worth a million dol
lars. as headquarters. And the own
er is one of few millionaires in the
South. All came from advertising
what he had to sell. If that same
spirit is put in town the town will
grow. The people must know what
we have to offer if we want them to
come to Bamberg and live and put
their money in investments here.

It looks like everything start out
to say leads right around to water
works and sewerage. had no idea
when started out on this "artickle''
that | would have word to say
about that, for it seems to be taking
pretty good care of itself. But it
came right around to that point just
as naturally as if had intended 1t
that way. We need waterworks
and sewerage system in Bamberg to
advertise. 1t would be the finest
thing We could say to the outside
world to tell them that our town is
alive to sanitation and conservation
of health. | believe that most any
doctor will tell you that town of
any size without sewerage and good
water is not so healthy as town
with those things. Now, ask your
self candidly, if you were leaving
Bamberg, and had not settled in your
mind just where you were going,
would you select a town, other things
being equal, that the doctors tell you
is not as healthy as certain other
town, on account of the citizens be-
ing afraid of increasing their taxes?
Would you? Then, if you would not.
20 right over to Mr.. Rentz, or one
of the committee. and put your name
on that petition they are getting sig
natures to.

THE OUTLOOK.
By the Observer.

| saw in the Columbia Record last
Sunday a full page advertisement
printed in two colors boosting the
city of Columbia. The advertisement
was signed by large number of pro-
gressive Columbia merchants and
business men. l wonder, Mr.. Editor,
you have not gotten up something
of that sort for Bambe.s. Surely the
merchants would cooperate in thing
of this sort. There were some quo
tations in this advertisement that
were most striking. Listen:
LET the Knoxville man boost
Knoxville, the Atlanta man boost At
lanta, and so on-but while you live
in Columbia, boost Columbia-not
for sentimental reasons, but for the
good it will do you. The spirit OF
town is what makes town. The
better the spirit, the better the towns
prosperity. That means the greater
Columbias prosperity, the greater
your prosperity"
That's the idea. Boost your town.
Other people are boosting their
towns, and if you do not boost the
place where you live, you may be
sure it will never get any boosting.
Again:
Boosting doesn't mean running up
and down Main street shouting This
is a fine town. This is fine town.
Boosting is acting-the doing of
those things that better the commun-
ity-that will keep it abreast or
ahead in the keen competition with
other cities"
Now if we could just get that into
the heads of the people of Bamberg,
the town would blossom forth with
verdure hitherto unknown. You
know that Bamberg is situated in
one Of the richest farming counties
in the State. The possibilities Of the
county have hardly been touched up
on, so to speak. We learn every day
something new about ourselves.
With such a country surrounding US,
what is to keep Bamberg from be-
coming a big, live centre?
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1915-07-22

Boosting is advertising. But, as
every good advertiser knows, adver-
tising must be followed up. You
must have what you advertise, and
YOU must have something to adver-
tise. It would be utterly useless for
a merchant to advertise in big head
letters that his store is the best place
in town to trade, and then be unable
to supply the ordinary simple articles
usually carried in such a store. In
other words, it is useless to advertise
an empty store. Likewise it is use
less to advertise an empty town.

as usual, was in excellent form and
was given gilt-edge support.
The features of this snappy game
were the pitching of Witsell and the
batting and the catching Of Griffin.
He got two hits out Of three attempts.
Harvey and Behling were big fac
tor in beating the visitors. A catch

HILL VS. DONOVAN
 POSTPONED TWO DAYS
Trial Will Be Resumed Wednesday, Political Agent Wheeler's
 Accounts Barred.

Stamford, Conn, July 26.--After hearing testimony from treasurers of several town committees with dis play of check books and receipts from Arthur C. Wheeler, .he political agent of MT. Hill, the Hill-Donovan election case was adjourned until Wednesday, It is expected the hearing will be com pleted by August l, as MT. Hill is de- s.rous of going to the Pacific coast.
 George S. Willard Of Huntington, the town treasurer of the republican committee said he received a contribu- ton of $15O from Wheeler, which was 7tsed in the general campaign, the wit ness being under the impression that the money came to him from the state central committee for that purpose. He did not know Wheeler, and had never seen Chairman Roraback of the republican state central committee.
 William Dugdal, committee treas urer at Darien, showed two subscrip- tions, one of $50, which he used in the town campaign, and $150 which were used in the general campaign.
 F. F. Hubbard, committee trasurer at Bethel, showed b. h1s report that Wheeler spent $50 and s150, which sums the treasurer thought was for general use..
 George T. Smith, of New Canaan, showed by his books contribution from Wheeler, which he had entered as a contribution from Wheeler, treasurer instead of political agent. He said that this must nave been an error of his bookkeeper. The money was expended in the general campaign.
