THE POWER OF MIND OVER MARKET

Wall Street knows we'll enough the effect of
thoughts and emotions on the market.
It is fact that the consumers STATE OF
MIND has great deal to do with the high cost
of everything. Panic breeds panic, and reckless
buying makes reckless prices
Men in a position to know assert that the
price-peak has been reached-if the American
people will recover their common sense Richard
Spillane, the foremost American writer on busi-
ness and finance, holds the public largely respon-
sble for extravagant profits and says that there
is no good reason for further advances in living
expenses.
The owner of system of lumber yards in
the middle west said:
Lumber prices are entirely too high. But
what can we do? The people have the idea that
prices will be higher next year and are trying to
get ahead Of the rise. Our customers are bidding
against each other. You know the result"
Agitation should serve to bring prices down,
not elevate them by alarming consumers. The
days Of the profiteer are numbered; the best in
tellects in the country are bent on economic re-
form.
Conditions in America are better than in any
other country in the world
AND THEY WILL GET BETTER SWIFTLY

RATIFY!

There is a close parallel between ratification OF
the covenant establishing the league OF nations
and ratification of our federal constitution. Some
may not agree with Mr.. Gladstone that "the
American constitution is the most wonderful work
ever struck off at given time by the brain and
purpose of man. No one, though, will doubt it
marked great advance in human industry. Only
the perils and mutual dependence created by the
revolution held the states together under the Ar
ticles of Confederation.
If our federal constitution had not been adopt
ed we might have had, instead OF our national
union another Europe, cut up into many nations
quarrelng, and often warning, with each other. 1t
must be remembered the thirteen states were then
more widely separated from each other, in respect
to communication, than are any of the charter
members of the league of nations.
The federal convention which adopted the con-
stituton and submitted it to the states for ratica
tion embraced. the most distinguished and trusted
men in our republic. There were Washington,
Franklin Hamilton, Madison and 81 others.
Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were. in
Europe, Patrick Henry, Richard Henry Lee and
Samuel Adams disapproved of the convention.
When the constitution was submitted to the
states it was assailed with great bitterness IT
ratified, it was sad it would rob the people OF
their liberties Especially in the great states of
Virginia, New York and Massachusetts there were
long and bitter contests. The result was in doubt
almost to the end, and there was only narrow
margin in favor of ratification.
At the most critical period Washington, who
had been chairman of the convention, threw him.
self into the breach with the infallible judgment
Of his which always saw the way to victory. He
said:
"The constitution or disunion are before us to
choose from. If the constitution is our choice, a
constitutional door is open for amendments, and
they may be adopted in a peaceable manner, with
out tumult or disorder"
The constitution was finally ratified. Twelve
amendments were submitted by the first congress,
ten of which were adopted. ~-
Those who wish to pursue the subject further
will find most interesting narrative in Fiske's
'The Critical Period of American History .
President Wilson says the covenant is the best
that can be obtained at this time. This league of
nations or international anarchy are before us to
choose from. If the covenant is ratified, amend
ments may be proposed. If we cannot get them
adopted, we can withdraw from the league within
two years.
Neither the treaty nor the covenant are all we
could DESIRE. But they are infinitely better than
no league of nations. They are long step in ad-
vance of international anarchy. For that reason.
if none other, they should be ratified.

THE SPIRIT OF COOPERATION.

AS city council has started pro-
gramme of street improvement, we
txust they will excuse us for suggest
ing that they adopt plan followed
very successfully here some years
ago, which resulted in great improve
ment to several streets in the city
and at little cost. 1t is the plan of
cooperation. The crops will soon be
laid by, and as many of our large
farmers near town live in the city
they use the streets and will no doubt
be glad to furnish teams and wagons
and drivers for a few days without
cost to the city for the purpose of
hauling clay to clay the principal resi-
dence streets. The city can have the
clay dug and furnish labor at the clay
pits for loading the wagons, and the
work can be done at very little cost
to any one. We feel sure that many
farmers would be willing to furnish
teams for one or two days, and as
there are so many of them who would
be benefited by improved streets,
more teams could be secured than
would be needed and thousands of
dollars worth of street work could
be done without any burden on any
body. The teams and hands would
be idle for a few days just after
"laying by time, and we feel sure
they could be easily secured without
cost if only a little work is done.
It's really astonishing what can be
done with a little cooperation, so
let's all get together along the lines
of improving our town.

THAT BLACKVILLE PROPOSITION.

What has become of the movement
of Blackville voting itself into Bam-
berg county? A rousing meeting was
held in Blackville several months ago
and at that time we understood
from citizens of that community
that they were willing and anxious to
join Bamberg. At that meeting the
proposition was made that Bamberg
should pay for the survey of the terri
tory proposed and if the vote was
not favorable or the movement failed
for any reason, that Blackville would
reimburse Bamberg for the amount
expended. This proposition on the
part of Blackville was accepted by
Bamberg, and the survey was made,
and we presume has been paid for
by citizens of Bamberg. We have
not heard anything of the matter in
months, and we do not know the
status. Will some one in position to
give the facts in the case write a
communication for publication in this
paper, telling the people just how the
matter stands? Many are interested
in the matter, and would appreciate
this information. Is the movement
dead, or will the election be held? At
the meeting referred to it appeared
to be the unanimous opinion of the
Blackville citizens that the election
should be held at once.

BANIBERG WAKING UP.

At last Bamberg is beginning to put
on city airs, and it delights the heart
of the writer to know that at last
we have a city council who recog-
nizes that the streets of the city be-.
long to the pedestrians and not to
any individual who cares to use them
for his own purposes. For years
it has been the practice here for any
one to dig up the streets, to blockade
the sidewalks, or to do anything that
happened to suit his individual pur-
poses, regardless of the rights Of the
people who paid taxes for the use of
the streets and sidewalks. Merchants
have displayed their wares on the
sidewalks of Main street, to the dis
comfort and inconvenience of pedes-
triacs, and although this newspaper
years ago made such fight against
this practice that it was discontinued
for a time, gradually the old ways
were resumed. But now<a new era
has come, and no longer can one dig
up the streets and sidewalks without
a permit from city council, nor can
the sidewalks be longer Uttered with
the displays of merchants. The good
old days when you could put half
dozen chairs out on the sidewalk and
have them occupied by checker play
ers and others who had more time
than anything else, are gone. No
longer can these. sidewalk loungers
spit tobacco juice all around the
chairs, as we have seen in times gone
by, with the walk so filthy that ladies
would lift their skirts as they with
difficulty made their way by. (But
in those days ladies' skirts were long
er than they are now.) We have
made long step forward in Bamberg
when we realize that the streets and
sidewalks are for people to drive and
walk on and for that only. Glory be,
the times are changing! Let the
good work 60 on!

HELP THE HOUSEWIFE.

This hot weather makes US sorry
for the average housewife, especially
in the country. The average farm
housewife has practically no con-
veniences to do her work with, and
yet in most cases the husband has
plenty of labor saving machinery.
Plenty of money to spend for new
plows, mowers, reapers and binders,
and all sorts Of farm implements, but
in most cases his wife is doing her
work with the same old tools her
mother before her used. No water
works, no electric lights nor fans, no
bath room, no kerosene stove, with
the thermometer in the kitchen rang
ing around 125 when she lights the
old wood stove to cook dinner, and

yet it is not because her "old man.
has not the money. He could afford
all these things and make her burden
lighter and her work more pleasant,
as we'll as adding years to her life
and keeping the wrinkles out of her
brow and the gray hairs out of her
head, if he just would. There are so
many labor saving appliances as
we'll as conveniences that can now be
had in country homes that it is little
short of criminal not to have them.
Electricity has been made so practical
that now in country homes it can
cook a meal, run cooling fan, run a
sewing machine, run a washing ma
chine, heat an iron to press clothes,
pump water for a water system, run
knife sharpener. silver polisher,
and a thousand and one uses, at little
cost. Some of you men who own big
farms in the country and have plenty
of money ought to be ashamed of
yourselves for not providing all these
conveniences for your wives years
ago, but we know you just never
thought of it. You love your wives,
you want to keep them young and
good-looking as long as possible, so
now that you know what to do, go
and do it. Why, bless your soul, old
man, if you make your home modern
in this respect and then go away for
a few weeks, the old lady would be so
young and pretty when you got back
you'd hardly know her. And you'll
get whole lot more out of life, too.
Try it and see.

Water as a Medicine.

Until very recently people suffer-
ing from fever were denied water.
"a little cracked ice to relieve the
thirst, but no water" said the doc
tor.
Thus the patient, craving water,
was Systematically starved for exact
ly the thing he most needed.
Today the enlightened physician,
in fever case, prescribes quantities
of waterfall the sufferer can be per-
suaded to drink. 1t is beyond a
doubt that water-deprivation under
the old method has killed it's tens
of thousands.
The water has two good effects. 1t
tends to reduce the fever, and it
flushes out the alimentary canal, in
cidentally getting rid of the bacterial
TOXINS that are true poisons.
Nowadays, in all Kinds of sickness
es, the thing of first. Importance is
to accomplish a thorough and imme-
diate cleansing of the patients inside
works. Water, the universal SOL
vent,' is used for the purpose, helped
perhaps by a little medicine.
Thus in a case of acute indigestion
or of ptomaine poisoning, the suffer-
er is required to swallow glass after
glass of water as hot as he can drink
as much water as he can manage
to pour into HIMSELF The simple
treatment, supplemented by five half
grain doses of calomel at half hour
intervals brings quick recovery.
There used to be quite fad for
drinking one or two tumblers of hot
water before breakfast every day.
Excellent idea. But it is not an
agreeabl dose, and water at the tenn
perature of the air will serve the
purpose just as we'll. Most people
who make habit of taking drugs to
encourage proper functioning Of the
body will find that a daily pint of
water before breakfast is equally SER
viceable.
The benefits derivable from the
waters of mineral springs have for
centuries gained popularity and prof
liable patronage for various "spas"
in this country and abroad, but the
fact is that the salts contained in
them have little to do with their Gu
rative effects. People who go to such
places usually imbibe the waters in
great quantity day after day, and the
"cures'' accomplished are due to
thorough internal cleansing.
If they drank an equal quantity of
ordinary water it is likely that the
effects would be no less beneficial
even more so, perhaps, inasmuch as
the waters of the spas are heavily
charged with mineral salts that are
true medicinal drugs and liable to
be Injurious when taken so reckless
ly.-Popular Science.

the forty thousand dollars mentioned,
$4,000 went to pay for the court
house and Jail, but this debt has
been practically paid off. We are
in good shape financially as NUM-
cipality, and there is no reason in the
world why the legal requirements
should not be gone through with and
bonds issued for installing a sewer
system just as soon as possible. Lack
of such a system hurts the growth
of the town as we'll as making it a
much less desirable place to live. We
are of the opinion that it would pay
for it's cost in the increased health
fulness of our city.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1919-07-17

Of course it is expected that the
new city council will encounter some
opposition in the progressive moves
they are making, but that cannot be
helped. The town must go through
a process of what we call in a child
growing palms," and a few years
from now those who most oppose
some things they are doing will be
delighted that the changes we're
made. If we expect to grow we must
get out of the old crossroads town
methods.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1919-07-17
A SEWER SYSTEM.

We trust that city council or the
commissioners of public works will
take up at an early day the matter
of installing a sewer system in Bam-
berg. The septic tanks now in use
are very we'll, no doubt, but no town
can keep on using these septic tanks
Indefinitely, nor can the town be what
it ought to be without sewer sys-
tenn. A sewer system will cost money,
of course, and we understand that
the present bonded debt of the town
will not admit of any more bonds be-
ing issued without constitutional
amendment allowing a bond issue of
more than ten per cent. of the tax
able property. This matter could be
easily attended to. Have the general
assembly pass a joint resolution to
this effect at it's session this winter,
and it could be ratified in the general
election Of next year. Of course all
this is some time off, but the move
ment should be started, for if it is
never started it will never be finished.
The bonded debt of Bamberg is RI
diculously small, and it is less than
ten per cent. of a totally inadequate
tax valuation. Our recollection is that
the total bonded debt of the town is
less than forty thousand dollars, and
to show for this we have the electric
light and water plant, and the city
hall building, property worth at least
one hundred thousand dollars. OF
