The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1916-12-14

This edition of The Bamberg
Herald is issued with some pardon
able pride by The Herald force. The
edition contains more pages than per-
haps any issue ever printed in this
city, and carries decidedly more ad-
vertising. We wish to take this op-
portunity of thanking each one of the
merchants and others using space in
this edition. The growth of the ad-
vertising patronage of the paper re-
fleets the growth of the town, and we
are pretty sure there are a great
many larger cities in this State that
would find it extremely difficult to
publish a paper with the amount OF
advertising that The Herald is carry
ing today.

powerless to prevent them showing.
We regret that the law does not cover
these so-called "shows." They are a
disgrace to any town that harbors
them. The shows which exhibited in
many sections of the State this fall
have been so bad that in some in
stances they have been closed up by
the municipal authorities. The only
remedy now against carnival shows
rests with the town authorities, who
can, we believe, levy any license
against them that they wish. 1t is
our hope that the city council OF
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1916-12-14
BAMBERG, S. G.

Bamberg will at once fix prohibitive
license fee against all carnival shows
and other shows of that kind. And
we also suggest to our legislative
delegation the advisability of passing
a law that will fully protect the peo-
pie against indecent and immoral
shows. There is nothing whatsoever
desirable about carnivals. Our city
councilmen are merchants and busi-
ness men. They should know that
carnival will take away thousands of
dollars which otherwise would be
spent for something more profitable.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1916-12-14

Bamberg has not for the past few
wears been afflicted with the carnivals.
We now understand that one of these
nefarious aggregations is to come to
this city within the next week or two.
The county officials have heretofore
kept them away by imposing the IL
cense of 500 per day assessed by the
State against shows under tents. We
understand that the attorney general
has recently ruled that carnival shows
do not come under this act, and there
fore, the hands of the officers are
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1916-12-14

Unless the price Of printing paper
is reduced, the paper bill of The Bam-
berg Herald will be over three hum
dred dollars more in 1917 than it
was in 1915. 1t is imperative that
this increase must be met in some
way. We are afraid The Herald can
not much longer continue to send
the paper at $3.50 year. But if our
subscribers will pay their subscrip-
tions promptly, we will have less loss
on subscription accounts, and conse-
quently We will receive more money.
In this way it may be possible for us
to continue the paper at the same
price.
