ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1922-04-20

The first step toward the develop
ment of Greater Carlisle was taken
Thursday when the contract was
awarded for the erection of the new
dormitory to. accommodate more
than one hundred cadets. A general
development scheme has been work
ed out for Carlisle school, the realiza-
ton of which will now be worked for
by the friends and authorities of the
school. Bamberg is logical site
for an educational center, and Car
Isle school forms a splendid nucleus.
Within the next five or ten years Car
Isle should be far more than pre-
paratory school, although in its pres
ent capacity it is filling a large func-
ton in the educational system OF
South Carolina. Carlisle is a real
asset to the city of Bamberg, and
every step in it's growth will continue
to- be watched with ever increasing
interest by the many friends of the
institution here and elsewhere in the
state.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1922-04-20
Saws the Calhoun Times:

Says the Calhoun Times: "The
Bamberg Herald is discouraged over
the apathy of the public towards the
extravagance and useless commits
sions in our state government. We
have been with you, brother, but the
Jig is up. Call off the dogs. The trail
is too cold and the fox beyond the
reservations" No, friend, our dogs
decline to be leashed. The trail is
pretty cold, but the old time Indians
hunted the more studiously when the
: trail was hard to find, and he gener-
ally found it. We are sorry our Cal
houn contemporary has decided to
lay down on the job, which is another
evidence that the apathy is growing.
And The Herald is not discouraged
quite. In fact, the people will wake
up, and there will be considerable
quake in the awakening process. We
should very much prefer to see the
somnolence thrown off gradually. The
consequences would not be nearly so
shocking.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1922-04-20

The information contained in an
article on another page of this news
paper that the contract will be let
on May Sth for the building of the
road from Bamberg toward Branch
vile to the Edisto river will be read
joyfully by a large portion of the
population of Bamberg county. This
is one of the most important and one
of the most travelled roads in this
section. 1t would be travelled more
if it were a good road The people
in the sections through which this
road passes deserve a good road, and
The Herald is glad that the county
authorities insisted on building it at
once rather than wait until after the
bridge over the Salkehatchie is built.
The Herald hoped that it would be
possible to do both jobs this year, but
if this cannot be done, and the au-
thorities assure us that it cahnot,
then we think it better to proceed
with the Branchville road. We trust,
however, that it will be but matter
of short time before the reinforced
concrete bridge over the Salkehat-
chic can be added to the county's
highway system.
