1t is stated from Columbia that
since January 1 last the State high
way commission has approved con-
tracts aggregating eleven hundred
thousand dollars for permanent road
construction in South Carolina Ad-
sditfonal contracts pending aggregate
three-quarters of a million, making
a total of nearly two millions being
spent on roads at this time. Without
q doubt the people of South Carolina
have awakened to the necessity of
good roads. Hereafter we are con-
fident good roads will have easy sail
ing in South Carolina.

The Newberry Observer announc-

was being increased from 15c to zoe

not scare away patronage, for the

The food conservation people ought
to get busy out at Ardmore, Okla.
According to the news dispatches
some perfectly good eggs were vast
ed last week on senator who was
trying to make a speech against the
league of nations and the peace trea-
ty. At least it is presumed the eggs
were good, as nothing was said to
the contrary. This is wanton waste.
We have always been taught that
nothing but full ripe eggs were ever
to be used in preventing useless
speech-making. If this age-old Gus
tom has been violated by. latter-day
food wasters, it merits congression-
al investigation. Eggs are too scarce
to be used in any such fashion.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1919-10-09

BY the way, we wonder what be-
came of the matter of building the
columbia-savannah highway through
Bamberg? A meeting was held, a
soliciting committee was appointed,
but we have heard nothing of the
matter since. Is the city to have or
not to have the road through town?
It is not going to be any advertise
ment for Bamberg when travellers
going over this road strike the city
limits of Bamberg.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1919-10-09

We are still of the belief that the
best thing for Bamberg is to have one
big bond issue to cover the cost of all
needed improvements. There's sew
erage, malaria eradication, doing
away with filthy and disease breed
ing bitches, building of sidewalks,
drainage, building the highway
through town, and doubtless several
other things. All of these things
ought to be done. And it will take
q lot of money. If the town waits
for the city treasury to pay for these
improvements, it will be snowy day
in July before the work is done.
Meanwhile the town is not going to
keep step with progress, and that
means Bamberg will not do much
growing. 1t would be just about as
easy to get a big issue through as a
small one Combine all improve
ments and do the work at once.

The famous ancient blue laws of
Connecticut were not statutory laws,
but originated from decisions of To-
cal magistrates at time when there
was neither charter nor laws in the
colony. says the Providence Journal.
Enactments similar in nature and
purpose TO these judicial mandates
were passed in both Connecticut and
Massachusetts, as, for example:
at the May term of the general
court in massachusetts, in 1867 il is
ordered that cages should be erected
or set - in the market place in Bos-
ton, and in such other towns as the
county courts judged proper, 70 put
violators of the Sabbath in. And in
some cases the constables were au-
thorized to the violence of breaking
open doors and removing other OBJ
structions."
In Furnishing offenses the judges
professed to be governed by the judi
iCial laws of Moses, and they actual
