THE RED CROSS.
ton.

. Do the people of Bamberg and
Bamberg county desire the Red Cross
organization to be disbanded? The
organization to be disbanded. The
chairman, Rev. Geo. P. White, in a
communication in The Herald today,
calls for a meeting of the Red Cross
Friday afternoon at the Red Cross
rooms to determine this question. Mr..
White has tried repeatedly to get a
meeting of the Red Cross here with
out success. Not enough members
can be induced to attend the meetings
to transact any business whatever.
Now there is something like s4,-
900 in the local treasury. This mon
ey is available for use in Bamberg
and Bamberg county. If the organi-
zation disbands, this money will be
turned into the general treasury, and
Bamberg will not be very likely to
ever hear of it again. In order to
use this money, the organization
must be continued. The matter is
strictly up to the people as to wheth-
er they desire to retain this $4,000
for use in the county or turn it into
the general treasury. The county is
entitled to the money. Under the
Red Cross campaign plan, certain
percentage of all money collected was
to go for local work.
The chairman states that he is ab-
solutely discouraged in his efforts to
get meeting of the local Red Cross
chapter, and that, failing in this last

THE ATLANTA SUFFRAGISTS.

Considerable interest has been CEN
tered in the recent election in Allan
ia because the women voted, this be-
ing, we believe, the first Southern
election in which the women partici-
pated. AS an indication of what wo-
men taking part in politics will lead
to. we have only to read an account
the Augusta Chronicle of Tuesday of
what one of the suffragists herself
SAYS about it. Mrs. Mary L. McLen-
don is described as being "the oldest
and among the very first advocates Of
woman suffrage, not only in Geor-
gia; but in this section of the South" I"
Mrs. McLendon has issued a state
ment in regard to the action of the
central committee of women voters,
in which she says the methods and
tactics employed by that committee
was 'as dirty a political trick as [
have ever heard charged to men,"
This is sad news. We thought
when the women got into politics
politics would be cleansed. Now
comes this leading suffffragist who
says the women were as ''dirty as the
men," Well, if they are as dirty as
some of the male politicians they are
a pretty bad lot. Mrs. McLendon
goes on to say that the work of this
committee was underhanded, and sew
eral other things.
We do not imagine that the airing
of these troubles will be any impetus
to the woman suffrage movements al
though we don't suppose it will stay
woman suffrage. It goes to show that
if women dabble in politics it will not
be long before they will be about on
an equality with the men in other
ways than merely voting. And we
have enough bad politics without the
addition of women. This same wo-
man writer says that because of the
Atlanta affair there 'has been a
dreadful setback for woman suffrage"
in Georgia.

MURDERED AND ROBBED
George GLADDEN. Waylaid and Killed
in West Wateree.

Camden, Sept. 6.-George GLADDEN.,
a seventy-year-old white man, was
waylaid and murdered early Wednes-
day morning as he was going to his
work on at the Wateree power dam in
West Wateree, and his body was rob-
bed of a considerable sum of money.
He is known to have carried a
large sum of money with him at all
times and his relatives state that he
was relieved of around fifteen hun
dred dollars by the murderer. The
crime occurred just before daylight
on by road leading to the Harda-
way Company's works, and two ne
groes following close behind Mr..
GLADDEN. state that they saw the re-
volver flashes and could hear the
murderer as he made his way through
the woods. The assassin evidently
sat beside the road and awaited his
victim. Three shots were fired two
taking effect, one passing through
the body, entering from the back,
causing instant death.
Melton Banks, a white man who
worked alongside of the old man at
the Hardaway works, was arrested
soon after the crime was committed
as being a suspect.

The suggestion has been made that
it would be good thing for the Bam-
berg city council to fix the fees charg-
ed by drays. At present there is no
uniformity in rates. The draymen
usually charge not what the job is
worth, but what they can get. A few
days ago one dray made charge of
40 cents to haul a trunk less than
a block; others charge Is cents for
the same hauling, and still others 25
cents, In other words if they can
get 90 cents or so cents they charge
it, according to whom they are haul
ing for. Of course the strangers in
town have to invariably pay the high
er rate. Other cities and towns have
found It necessary to fix uniform rates
for the protection Of the people, and
it would not be- bad idea for the
Bamberg council to take similar ac-
ton.

The Yorkville Enquirer came to
our exchange table last week in a
new dress. The Enquirer has been
published as an eight-column paper
for many years. Now it has gone to
the more convenient seven-column
size, increasing the number of pages
from four to eight. The Enquirer oc-
cupies a distinctive position among
South Carolina newspapers and de-
servedly so. 1t is without question
one of the best edited and printed
papers in the country, and it should
be the pride of York county.

absolutely compelled to have, and ev-
cry woman would wear her last sea-
sons coat suit, cloak, hat, etc. In
short reduce the buying of all articles
of apparel to actual necessities. If
this was done don't you know that
there would soon be drop in prices
right here at home? One great rea-
son why goods are high is because of
the extravaganza of the people.
Silk socks and stockings are now
at least three times as high as they
were a few years ago, but it is GER
tain that if everybody would quit
wearing them prices would soon drop
to normal. And so with other lux
uries which can easily be laid aside

be no holler about profteering.

refused to buy clothing which he can
do without at present prices, and will

there are few like him. And the wo-
men, why bless your soul, they are

before. Well warrant there will be
few trimmed over hats worn by Bam-
terg women this winter. And so it
goes. People who can and who can't
afford it are getting more extrava-

dress, and as long as this continues
prices are going to be too high in pro-
portion to the actual value of all
kinds of dry goods.

EXTRAVAGANCE.

. There is no use for people to COM
plain about the high prices and keep
on buying expensive 1uxuries. The
prices on clothing of all kinds would
soon go down if everybody, men and
women, would wear their old clothes.
True, one must eat, but they can wear
old clothing, hats, etc. Think what
a difference it would make right here
in Bamberg if no man would buy any
article of clothing except what he was

If city council will pardon us for
the suggestion, We would recommend
as a most important piece of legisla-
tion the extending of the fire limits
of the town, that is, increasing the
area in which wooden buildings can
not be erected. Our recollection is
that wooden buildings cannot be
erected within $50 feet of Main
street, but this limit should be ex-
tended. The fire risk on wooden
buildings is too great to allow them
anywhere near Main street.

OUR STREETS

In spite of the fact that the chair
man of the street committee and the
street commissioner have had almost
two weeks of good weather. little or
nothing has been done in the city
about grading the streets, until now
il seems that there is little desire on
the part of these men TO make the
streets as good as possible under the
conditions.
1t is admitted that some of the
streets in Alma are in very poor
shape. To leave them without being
graded in the spring. especially some
of those containing deep ruts, is not
going to aid them one bit and every
day that they are left in that CON
dition they are being made to be
poorer roads with the same traffic,
than would be the case if they were
properly graded and rounded up
No work has yet been done on some
of these streets. where the traffic of
Alma is the heaviest, and the ruts in
these streets are being constantly
made larger and deeper This means
that the longer they 90 ungraded
the greater will be the amount of
work needed to put them into shape.
once the chairman Of the committee
and the street commissioner get
around to take care of them.
Many of the streets of Alma are
none too good. We need the best that
we can get under any and all con
ditions, and the taxpayers should de
mand that these public servants. who
have charge Of our streets and are
respon sibe for their care, should
give Their the attention that they
deserve.
