Away back in the days when Miller
was preaching the near end Of the
world there were two men living in
Lswrenceville. Pa. neighbors, who
may be named Brown and Jones, who
were like unto Jonathan and David.
Jones was a chicken fsncier. Both,
like most people in that day, discussed

with the egg held to the fire the writ

wrote on an egg The world win come

day Miller had stated. and placed the
egg in one OF Jones' nests, expecting
Jones would come to him as soon as
he found It and after q good laugh
he would tell how It was done.
But Jones. as soon as he could get
his clothes on. rushed to the home OF
Rev. Richard Lea. The news spread
like wildfrs and persons coming to
town to church carried It and all Sun
day there was a throng calling on
Jones to see the egg. Brown viewed
the crowd with a much-troubled mind
and at last he went to Jones and told
the story. Never after that did Jones
speak to Brown.

, MANY WITH LARGE INCOMES
In the City Of Philadelphia There Are
More Rich Men Than in CHI

Last year four men in this district

Philadelphia and this suburban terri
tory had ITS persons whose incomes
exceeded 100000. In England and
scotland combined there are only 300
persons whose yearly income exceeds
$4,000. but Philadelphia and these
eight neighboring counties had SOC
persons enjoying incomes OF that size
last year. Now that 20 per cent gain
about which Collector Lederer in
formed me will likely advance about
200 more persons into that $4,000 eI-
elusive set We reside in one of the
very wealthiest spots on earth. Why.
there are nine states in the Union
which do not have a solitary individ-
ual with an income OF even 100000.
No wonder they favor a high tax on
big incomes!
Collector LedereT also told me that
Philadelphia has many more very rich
men than either Chicago or Boston.
Those cities. however. show a large
number OF men earning fairly big sal
aries All Massachusetts is in the Bos'
ton district, and IS counties are EN-
braced with Chicago in that district.
against only eight counties included
with Philadelphia, so that city com
parsons are not conclusive. This year
we will have about 10000 income tax
payers in the Philadelphia district.
Last year there were not quite $4,000.
Only one state exceeds Pennsylvania
in the roll of those who contribute d.
rectly to Uncle Sans support. APP
proIimately one person in ten who
pays an income tax resides in Penn
sylvania. We had just short Of $4,000

A Word With a Personal Touch.

A good many Bamberg people are
possessed with the idea of sending
away to other places for their print
ed matter; they say they get it lit
tie cheaper. Perhaps they do; per-
haps The Herald force could get their
clothing, shoes, etc., little cheaper
by sending to Sears & Roebuck or
some other mail order house for
them, but we don't do it, because we
are trying to make our living in Bam-
berg.
There is at least one organization
in Bamberg that has sent "away' to
get little book printed, because our
quotation was a little higher. In a
years time, if that organization paid
space rates for everything published
by it and about it, The Herald would
be richer by many good dollars, But
that is a cat of another color.
There is one merchant here who
expects the people in town to trade
with him, yet he sends away to get
his printing, because The Herald
wants an honest profit on it's invest
ment and labor. This merchant does
not attempt to. sell as cheap as the
Baltimore Bargain House, but The
Herald is expected to be cheaper than
anybody else.
Funny world, isn't it. But, oh
we'll, what does it matter? 1t will
all come out in The wash.

The Wilson Campaign Fund.

The Herald is now receiving con-
tributions to the Wilson and Marshall
campaign fund. Below are the names
OF contributions received this week.
Bamberg county is not showing up
well in the campaign fund lists, and
we think the people of the city and
county should make liberal contribu-
tions. The time Is now short, and
funds are sorely needed. Don't wait
until someone calls on you for a con-
sribution, send it to The Herald to-
day. We will acknowledge all con-
tributions through The Herald, and
forward the money to the proper
authorities.
Bamberg city has to it's credit, we
believe, four or five dollars. The
town ought to give at least $4,000
to this fund. Denmark has forward
ed pretty good sized check. Shall
Bamberg remain behind? Other
than the town of Denmark, prac-
tically nothing has been contributed
20 far. We would like to acknowl-
edge at least $4,000 next week. Send
on your dollar or more if you can.
