wrongs of the race. He is continual
ly ranting against lynching negroes
for the crime of rape, yet he does not
condemn the crime. This is true of
a majority Of the race. Fortunately,
there are some notable exceptions.
The race riots in Washington this
week were no doubt brought about
by the overbearing conduct of the ne
groes, for everybody who has ever
visited Washington knows that it
contains the most insolent negroes of
any city in the United States perhaps,
and while the white people of that
city have been long-suffering they
have evidently made up their minds
not to stand it any longer. And so
in other cities-the white people, it
appears, have reached the correct con-
clusion that the only appeal that can
be made to the negro generally is
that of force, and that he will con-
tinue to give. trouble unless he is
kept afraid to do so. One statement
from Washington is that the trouble
started after repeated attacks of ne
groes on white women, and as it ap-
peared the city authorities did not
nor could not put stop to it, the en-
ragged citizens took a hand, with the
result that there has been fighting
between the races for about week.
It will be the same elsewhere, and
these clashes can only result in harm
to the negro. If the negro leaders
are wise they will mend their ways
and mend them quickly, for if they
don't there will be many a negro
killed in the United States this year,
and it will not be confined to South
Carolina either

ALL TOGETHER, NOW.

The young gentlemen on the city
council are trying to accomplish some
thing for Bamberg. They went into
the council with that determination,
and the fact that they had but a
very small opposition would seem to
indicate that the great majority OF
the voters of the town are behind
them. 1t is very natural in taking a
decided step forward that some oppo-
sition should develop, and the coun-
cilmen should not feel discouraged
when opposition is encountered.
1t is very likely in carrying out the

RACE RIOTS.

These clashes between the races
are getting entirely too frequent since
the war, and the careful observer can.
easily trace the cause to the fact of
the negro being made a soldier and
having his head filled with ideas Of
social equality. Put a uniform on the
average negro and you make a fool
of him, but they are going to be
taught some sense in the next few
months. There is no question but
that the negro as a race is getting
more insolent and antagonistic to the
white race every day, and much and
serious trouble will result unless the
negro leaders change their attitude.
AS a rule the negro leader generally,
instead of giving his race good advice,
pretends to do so, but is continually
harping on the wrongs of the race and
shrewdly creating bad feeling on the
part of the negro towards the White
man. The negro might as we'll un-
derstand now and forever that this
is a white mans country and it will
be ruled by white men. He will nev-
er be allowed in politics-and should
not be-and his dream OF social
equality will never be realized. He
will be treated kindly and justly, and
given opportunities for advancement
such as no greatly inferior race IS
allowed in any other country. he
enjoys these opportunities now, but
instead of accepting them in good
spirit and endeavoring to make
worthy citizen, as soon as he gets
little education he begins to put the
devil into his more ignorant breth-
rem by eternally harping on the

STAMP OUT MALARIA.

The attention of The Herald has
been called to the following item in
a Columbia dispatch to the daily
newspapers a few days ago, which
should be of special interest to the
authorities and the people of Bam-
berg:
Important steps looking towards
the further control of malaria in
South Carolina were taken at the
meeting of the executive committee
of the state board of health when it
was resolved to cooperate with the
United States public health service
and with the international health
board for the control of the disease.
BY the arrangements perfected, the
United States public health service
wilE upon the request of town,
send two engineers to make a sur
vey of the town without expense to
the community. These engineers will
later report to the authorities what
steps are necessary to eradicate the
disease and the approximate cost OF
the work.
It will be noted, according to the
above dispatch, that the city of Bam-
berg can have made, without cost, a
malaria survey of the town by engi-
neers of the United States Public
Health service. The engineers will,
after making the survey, make a re-
port detailing the proper steps to be
taken to eradicate malaria, together
with an estimated cost of the work.
We suggest that the city authorities
of Bamberg proceed at once to have
this survey made. Even if it is found
not possible at this time to proceed
with the work, it will serve to give
the city valuable information, and at
some early opportunity. in the future
the proper steps can be taken to
stamp out the disease.
Malaria conditions in Bamberg
have, without a doubt, been greatly
improved within the past few years.
Still, there is much room for i'm
provement. That the disease can be
entirely stamped out is well estab-
lished fact, and it has been done by
the United States government in
countless instances. Not only has
the disease been eradicated in small
areas, but large ones, as we'll. For
example, when the government ac-
uuired the Panama Canal zone, it
was impossible for a. white man to
live there. The zone is now as clear
of malarial germs as any section
of the United States, according to pub
lished reports, and the population of
the area is now largely composed Of
white people.
There is at this time. a progress
i've air in Bamberg. The people are
in for anything to improve and help
the town, and if there is a man in
Bamberg who would object to pay
ing little extra taxes to stamp out
malaria, he ought to be-we1l, he
ought to move out and go somewhere
else. ~'

SEWERAGE NEXT.

According to our information there
is nothing now standing in the way
of issuing bonds for the installation
of a sewerage system in Bamberg.
It has been thought that the town
could not issue bonds for this purpose
because of the outstanding bond in
debtedness for waterworks and elec-
trio lighting. However, the city at
tornev, after a careful investigation
of the matter, has informed the city
council that bonds issued for works
under the commissioners of public
works are not considered a debt
against the city. This eliminates
what has been considered a legal
barrier.
At the present time, the only outs
standing Indebtedness against the
city is the court house debt. The
original bond issue of $4,000 has
been diminished by about one-half;
therefore the entire Indebtedness
against the city is only about ST.
500.
The assessed valuation of property
in the city of Bamberg is approx
mately s5S0,000. The constitution
gives the town the privilege of voting
bonds for public improvements to
sum not exceeding 10 per cent. of
the assessed valuation of the proper
ty of the town. Therefore, the city
can have outstanding bonds of not
exceeding $4,000. Deducting the
court house bonds, and there re-
mains approximately $4,000 for
which the town may issue bonds at
this time. 1t is believed that this
amount will be ample for the pur-
pose of installing sewerage system.
There will be no difficulty in paying
these bonds. If issued in twenty
year denominations, it would mean a
payment into sinking fund annually
of $2,250 and interest. While the
town cannot without special law
levy more than 10 mills taxes for or
dinary purposes, it has the right to
levy any amount of taxes necessary
for the payment of bonds. Payment
of bonds and interest would mean
matter of only a few mills additional
taxes which would not be felt by any
body.
The town must either go forward
or backward. The day of a new era
has dawned, and the day Of picay-
unish affairs has passed, we are
thankful to say. The war has taught
the people a valuable lesson in Civ
ing. People think no more now of
giving ten dollars to an object than
they used to think of donating one
dollar. The people are prosperous,
and the town ds-demands-a
sewerage system.
We do not feel that any argu-
ments at this time las to why Bam-
berg should have a sewerage system
would be in place. In fact, we are
rather inclined 70 think it would be a
reflection on the intelligence of the
people to offer any such arguments.
With the set of fine young busi-
ness men Bamberg has as councilmen,
we feel assured that the necessary
steps will be speedily taken to pro-
cure for this town what every town
OF any consequence in America al
ready has. The town has awakened.
Now, let's get busy and don't let it
90 to sleep again.
