There is more building and improvement going on in Bamberg now than in any town in the low country. We make no exceptions of towns larger than this. The new faculty of the Carlisle Fitting School are already at work for the fall session, and thev are determined to carry the school forward to higher and better things. Messrs.

The erection of the two cottages by Dr. Geo. F. Hair has begun. Mr. L. B. Fowler will occupy one of them when completed, and it is likely that Mr. H. G. Sheridan will occupy the other. At last the railroad has been stirred into action in regard to erecting a new honor a work train has been V. liVl^UV UVJ/vw.

Lightsey, of Macon, Ga., who is the cousin and guest of Mr. and Mrs. " Jones "Williams. She delighted the congregation with Hamilton Gray's Heavenly Song Sunday morning, and at the evening service was assisted by Mr. C. W. Rentz in a duet, Hark, Hark, My Soul. Their rendition of this number was extremely beautiful. We are sure that Mrs. Lightsey has the thanks and sincere appreciation of the entire congregation, for so willingly and so frequently lending her sweet voiee. \ Heinz's canned tomato soup at Moye's grocery store.

A force of workmen arrived here Monday to begin work on the new freight depot, and it is said the material is here and the work will be pushed to completion. It is expected that the building will be completed shortly after the first of July. Evidently the railroad authorities have been stirred up at last. Mr. W. C. Allen, State organizer of the Law and Order League, was in Bamberg Tuesday and was to have delivered an address at the Methodist church Tuesday evening on the object and work of the league, but the meeting cpuld not be held on account of the bad weather. A brauch of the league was to have been organized here. There was no meeting of the Knights of Pythias last Monday" evening. There was a quorum of members present, but only three of these were officers, and as no business could be transacted, no meet ing was held. The lodge might as well disband if the officers and members are to take no more interest in the meetings. This way of holding a meeting with barely a quorum present and most of the officers absent does the order no good. The Pastors' Conference of the Barnwell Baptist Association, which holds monthly meetings, met in Bamberg Tuesday, in the Baptist church'. Several of .the brethren were absent from various causes. Those present were: Revs. A. J. Foster, Bamberg; W. M. Jones, Williston ; C. T. Billings, Blackville: J. H. Snyder, Denmark; W. C. Britton, Bamwell. Mr. W. C. Allen, State organizer of the Law and Order League, was also present at the meeting. At these meetings affairs relating to the church and the work of pastors are discussed, and the sessions are beneficial and helpful to those participating. Hooton-Free.

Little Roy Griffin, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Griffin, had a thrilling and narrow escape from death last Monday morning. He bad gotten his father's horse out of the stable and was riding the animal, when it took fright from some cause and dashed off down the street, coming down town. The little fellow had a thrilling ride, for he sood could not stay on the horse's back but kept from falling by clinging to its neck or| mane. When they reached the corner at Mrs. Nevils' residence, He leu cur ana nis body struck a telephone pole. The little fellow was carried home as soon as possible and physicians summoned, who examined his injuries. While he is no doubt seriously hurt, he is getting along as well as could be expected and will soon be all right again. In sickness or wellness; in gladness or sadness, use SHAW'S MALT.

FOR CONGRESS I hereby announce myself a candidate for Congress from the Second Congressional District of South Carolina, subject to the rules of the Democratic Primary. BUTLER B. HARE. I respectfully announce my candidacy for re-election to Congress from the Second Congressional District of South Carolina. In doing so I ask that my constituents examine into my record of only a few months as their Representative. I have been and am now embarrassed by reason of the contest for my seat which seriously affects my influence and my efforts in behalf of my people. With my experience, I am satisfied that I can and will represent you more advantageously in the future thau I have done in the past. I make this announcement subject to the rules and regulations of the Democratic primary, pledging myself to abide by the results,"and to support the nominees thereof. J. 0. PATTERSON. Fellow citizens .-?Since this is the year to elect a Congressman to represent the people, I hereby announce my candidacy for Congress from this the Second Congressional District of South Carolina; and most respectfully urge the voters to examine my record as a public servant, for not only a few months, but for my entire service of six years as a member of the House of Representatives of South Carolina. Truly unfortunate that the Federal laws encourage contests in the South; that so many of our representatives are molested, certainly a provision for an allowance of about two thousand dollars to the contestant, and also to the one whose place is contested for, should be modified or repealed, and forever put an end to the practice. By reason of a laudable ambition?that of my promotion? coupled with a God given desire to serve the Second District as I have my home county (promising to contend as earnestly and as vigorously as in the past for such measures as would be conducive to the best interest of our great country), I seek the suffrage of my fellow-countrymen. I pledge myself to abide by the rules and iegulations of the Democratic Party, and to obey the new election laws (see Acts of General Assembly 1905 on the subject) governing primary elections. G. L.

Zopyrus, the physiognomist said, "Socrates' features showed that he was stupid, brutal, sensual and addicted to drunkenness." Socrates upheld the analysis by saying, "By nature I am addicted to all these sins, and they were only restrained and vanquished by the continual practice of virtue." Emerson says in effect "The virtue you would like to have, assume it as already yours, appropriate it enter into the part and live the character just as the great actor is absorbed in the character of the part he plays."

The way to reach or to attain to anything is to bend oneself toward it with all one's might and we approximate it Just in proportion to the intensity and the persistency of our effort to attain it If you are inclined to be very excitable and nervous, If you "fly all to pieces" over the least annoyance, do not waste your time regretting this weakness and telling everybody that you cannot help It Just assume the calm, deliberate, quiet balanced composure which characterizes jour ideal person In that respect Persuade yourself that you are not nervous or excitable, that you can control yourself, that you are well balanced, tbat you do not fly off on a tangent at every little annoyance.

Snar&revtiona That Mar Keep One From the Doctor. A person in good health, with fair play, easily resists cold, but when the health flags a little and liberties are taken with the stomach or with the nervous system a chill is easily taken and, according to the weak spot of the muiviuuai, aonumca iuc iviui vt u or pneumonia, or It may be Jaundice. Of all causes of cold probably fatigue is one of the most efficient A jaded man coming borne at night from a long day's work, a growing youth losing two hours' sleep over evening parties two or three times a week or a young lady heavily "doing the season," young children overfed and with short allowance of sleep, are common instances of the victims of cold. Luxury Is favorable to chill taking. Very hot rooms, feather beds, soft chairs, create a sensitiveness that leads to catarrhs. It is not after all, the cold that is so much to be feared as the antecedent conditions that give the attack a chance of doing harm. Some of the worst colds happen to those who do not leave their house or even their beds, and those who are most Invulnerable are often those who are most exposed to changes of temperature and who by good sleep, cold bathing and regular habits preserve the tone of their nervous system and circulation. Probably many chills are contracted at night or at the fag end of the day, * - A xl wnen urea people get tue equiuunuui of their circulation disturbed by either overheated sitting rooms or underheated bedrooms and beds.

Papua has swift streams well stocked with fish. An explorer tells of Papuan fresh water mullet which sometimes weigh as much as fifteen pounds. "These fish are wonderfully provided by nature with an appliance which helps them to combat the extraordinary currents. At one moment you will see them being swept down resistlessly, but suddenly they shoot off into the quieter water and attach themselves to the rocks by a strong sucker near the mouth. There they hang Just outside the current, their tails moving gently with It, and when they have re covered their strength they make another dash through the swifter waters." 01?rr?? of the fcMeth.
