We beg to remind our good friend,
Fred Wannamaker, of the Orange
burg Sun, that those bridges he
speaks about are all on the Orange
burg side of the river, and he ought
to get after his county supervisor
or commissioner or whatever the title
of the proper official is over there and
get them fixed. We Bamberg folks
are always glad to welcome our
friends from Orangeburg, but it looks
like the road officials don't want the
people over there to come over here
or the people from Bamberg to go
over there, as the bridges and road
on the Orangeburg side of the river
are always in pretty bad fix, especial
ly the road through the swamp after
crossing that multitude of bridges.
From Cope on to Orangeburg the road
is good, but back this way it is almost
impossible in wet weather. Get after
your officials, Fred, and make 'em
build a good road through that swamp
and we'll come to see you oftener,
and maybe you'll do the same by US.
Always delighted to see you over this
side.

The road from Bamberg to Den
mark is the most important highway
in the county. and is travelled by more
vehicles than any other road in the
county. Above all roads this one
should be kept in first-class condi-
tion, and we trust it will be so kept.
Just now it is rather rough and needs
scraping, which should be done with
out delay. The weather has been so
bad for the past two months that all
the roads have gotten in bad condi-
ton, and it could not be helped, and
We appreciate the fact that all
them cannot be worked at once, but
the more important highways-those
most traveled-should have attention
first. The road from Denmark to
Lees has not been worked in long
time, and a little work on this road
in the low places would be great
improvement. This road has to be
used a great deal now, on account of
high water at Clients Branch.

For some time The Herald has beer

For some time The Herald has been
considering the question of agitating
in a systematic manner extension of
the water mains and the installation
of a sewerage system. but We have
not taken up the question extensive
ly for the reason that financial condi-
tions are such just now that it might
be difficult to float bonds for this
purpose, that is it might be hard
matter to sell the bonds if they were
voted by the taxpayers, and Of this
we have little doubt. But as soon as
possible this work must be done If
Bamberg is to grow and prosper.
Other towns smaller than this have
these facilities. and Bamberg will
never be as healthful town as it
should be until we have a complete
sewerage system. The sooner those
who have property interests here
realize this the better. Bamberg will
never be much of town until we
get facilities and. conveniences here
which will attract new population.
This is plain talk, but it is absolutly
true. Then. too, a sewerage system
would make Bamberg a much more
healthful town and would do much
to dissipate the idea that people away
from here have as to its being an un-
healthy spot.

A Dangerous Error.

Representative Hay, of Virginia,
in the course Of debate on the army
appropriation bill on Thursday night
gave expression to theory which
is held by many people in this coun-
try and which is almost certainly er-
rorneous How people can claim,
said Mr.. Hay, that these great ma
tions now at war, which are exhaust
ing themselves financially and physi-
cally, as soon as the war is over are
going to turn around and attack the
strongest nation on earth is beyond
my comprehension"
In other words, Mr.. Hay believes
that the struggle in which the Eu-
ropean nations are engaged will
weaken all of them to such an ex-
tent that for that reason, if for no
other, we have no reason to fear
them. If we are to accept the innu-
merable lessons of history, Mr.. Hay
and all the others who hold this
comfortably mistaken theory are alb
solutely mistaken except in the event
that the European struggle ends in
a deadlock. If the war is fought out
to a decisive finish and one side con-
uuers the other, the victorious fac
ton, despite the losses it will have
suffered, will be enormously strong
in a military sense-much stronger
than when the war began. The his
tory of our own great war is a pre-
cedent. When that struggle began,
the United States had practically no
navy or army. When it ended, the
United States navy was the strongest
in the world and the United States
army was certainly the most formid-
able in existence. Instead of being
weakened by the long and devastat-
ing struggle, the United States emerg-
from it the most powerful naval and
military nation on the globe.
Precisely the same phenomenon
will take place in Europe unless Eu-
ropes struggle ends in a draw. If
one faction or the other conquers,
that faction, instead of being in a

We are glad that city council has
taken action on the matter of erect
ing a suitable hose house for the fire
department. 1t has long been need
ed for the proper protection Of the
apparatus belonging to the depart
ment, and should have been built long
ago. While council is about 1t, new
reels for the hose should be bought.
The present reels are entirely too
heavy for the men to pull to a hre,
weighted down with several hundred
feet OF hose, and they should be trad
ed and lighter machines, with ball
bearings, bought. The department
should also have some practices oc-
casionally. If a fire was to break out
we fear our department would not
be as ready to fight it as it ought to
be.

We would like to see our business
men take some action in reference to

There is no question but that We are
not getting a square deal from the
Southeastern Tariff association, and
unless We make fight We will just
have to keep on paying the same old
rates. We are entitled to better rates
and we should have them, but we will
not get them without effort. What
are we going to do about it?

Why not inaugurate go-to-church
movement in Bamberg? This is not
much of a church-going place. A
great many of our people prefer to
spend the Sunday hours at home or
on the streets. There is not habit
in the world better than going to
church twice on Sunday, or at least
once. Bamberg has good preachers
and comfortable churches, and we
daresay that if everybody will make
it a rule to spend an hour at each OF
the services at one of the churches
every Sunday, they will enjoy them
selves quite as much as staying at
home, and the example they set will
be a good one. Churchgoing is un-
doubtedly a habit with many people,
and mighty good one.

was assured that papa, mamma and

settled in the berth at last and the

when a small voice piped:

"You there?"
Yes, I'm here. Now go to Sleep
Papa, you there?"
"Yes, I'm here. Go to sleep like

This continued at intervals for

lost patience and called:

and mother and brothers and sisters

mittent grazing; that is, by employ
ing Several fields which are pastured
in rotation. Summer pasturage with
alfalfa is extensively adopted in Aus
tralia and the combined system of
hay and pasturage has found much
favor in New South Wales. It is
carried out in the rolling plains
country on loan or sandy soils where
there is no possibility of sub-irriga-
ton.
In the management of Australian
alfalfa fields it is the practice to grow
a crop of hay early in the spring and
to pasture the alfalfa during the re-
mainder of the year. For grazing
purposes alfalfa is considered very
valuable because it responds to sum-
mer rainfall while the native grasses,
being ANNALS, afford no late pastur-
age. In New South Wales alfalfa is
handled under this combined system
of hay and pasturage on some of the
large ranches, and as high as three
sheep per acre are carried during the
summer, autumn and winter months.
During early September in Australia,
which is the early spring season
there, the sheep are taken off and the
alfalfa makes a luxuriant growth, af-
fording a cured hay crop Of approx
imately a ton per acre. Thus the
hay is procured when the weather is
cool and the amount of moisture CIV
en- up by the plant and soil is small.
The crop being handled in this way
makes the most efficient use of the
this region is about 81 inches and is

month having more than one inch Of
