Is being loaned at low rates of interest. If a man needs money it is well enough to borrow, but too often people borrow money who could well do without it, and often they waste borrowed money. Cotton is higher now than it has been in a year, but that is not to be Of' wondefred at. Did you ever notice how the price of cotton goes up just about planting time? If our farmers are wise they will not depend on cotton altogether, for only in this way can they hope to control the price. We do not know very much ahout affairs at.Clemson college, but after reading the statements of Capt. Minus and President Mell, as well as ^,the statement of one member of the i>.v board of trustees, coupled with the, fact that other members of the board decline to talk, it rather looks like Clemson needs a new president or a * J i- A? I? new Duara oi iruoiees ur yvooiuij both. Something is radically wrong at Clemson and has been for years, and if the board of trustees cannot manage the institution properly, they should resign and give place to others. There has been more trouble at Clemson in the last few years than at all the other colleges in the State put together, and surely the students cannot be blamed for it all. Boys I will be boys, and unless they are controlled wisely and yet firmly, trouble and insubordination will re5 suit. A LITTLE BRAGGING. Our paper is a little late this week, but it could not be helped. There i is a limit to the endurance of the editor and his faithful force, and if our readers knew the amount of j work turned out of our office during jfe.the past week they would wonder how we got out any paper at all. Our job work for last week amounted to more than double what it used to in an entire month. We are glad to say to our frieiyls and well-wishers that our business is growing all the % > r time, and if our out-of-town patronage keeps on as it has been for the past few months, we can mak? a living independent of any business i\/:. 1 from the town of Bamberg. Work received irom eisewnere nnngs more money into the town and enables us to employ a larger force who spend their money with Bamberg merchants. Every business in town < should endeavor to extend its teritory for trade. : ^ . Wash Hunter Appeals. Washington, April 15.?The case of Wash Hunter, convicted in Greenwood county for the murder of El? bert F. Copeland, of Laurens county, last year, will be heard before the supreme court of the United States, coming on an appeal from the supreme court of South Carolina. The grounds of appeal are that Hunter was not indicted by the grand jury before his trial and conviction, which is in violation of the federal constitution, and that he was .-f otherwise denied constitutional - . rights. Plans War on. Blind Tigers. Columbus, Ga., April 17.?A call for a mass meeting of citizens to drive blind tigers out of Phoenix and t Girard, Ala., was to-night issued for Monday by Editor Berry, of the : , Phoenix-Girard Journal, whose life was threatened yesterday, it is alleged, because of his activity against blind tigers. Berry to-night was try/. ing to get into communication with Gov. Comer and it was reported that he might ask the governor to declare martial law. For the sake of his personal safety Berry spends his nights in Columbus, Ga., although by day he pursues his usual business in Gir&rd. >y ' V- . ^ - , V \ Claflin Concert Company. The concert given at the colored Methodist church in this city Monday evening ol this week was largely attended by the white people of the city, and they seemed to enjoy the songs and recitations of the nesrroes. On the whole it was a very good entertainment, but the negroes composing the company would do much better work if they would attempt only such songs as suit their voices and would vary their program more. They had too many songs which were very much alike. The behavior of the negroes present was remarkable, in fact you could not find a better behaved audience anywhere, and at the close of the program they kept their seats until all the white people were, out of the building. There was a large crowd present, and the entertainment was a financial success, which was due to the efforts of J. A. Nimmons, the barber, and Rev. D. J. Sanders, pastor of the church. Capt. Capers Operated on. Washington, April 20.?John G. Capers, commissioner of internal revenue and Republican national committeeman from South Carolina, underwent last night at the Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat hospital here, an operation for mastoid. Although the operation was a serious one, he was resting easily and his condition is favorable. Civic Association. The successful and prosperous city of the future is not so much the city which can afford citizens of wealth and prosperity, but that which can boast of men deeply interested in the best conditions of health, cleanliness and safety. We are all desirous of seeing Bamberg prosperous and growing. Let us therefore make it clean and thereby healthy. In most cities and towns a day is set apart by the mayor just at this time of the year for a general street cleaning. Why not in Bamberg? A concerted movement in any enterprise is always the most successful movements Onfe can scarcely be enthusiastic over putting his own premises in a perfect state of sanitation when he sees his neighbor over the way sitting content with his back yard filled with decaying vegetable matter and pools of filthy water, or possibly his back lot knee-deep in mud and slime?all breeders of disease. Every day tbat we put off this campaign against disease and pestilence adds to the danger of the town's safety. It has been demonstrated that the mosquito and house fly are largely responsible for disease in the human family. As they thrive only where there are filthy barnyards or stables and standing water, let us keep every place scrupulously clean during the summer months, allowing no cess pools or stagnant water near our premises. Then, as sickness can be brought by flies from a neighbor's, let us have our houses and food so well screened that they will find it impossible to enter. Trenholm Shoots Himself Charleston. April 20.?George M. Trenholm, son of the late George M. Trenholm, shot himself la,st night (while handling a pistol at'his boarding place at Mrs. O'Neill's residence, on Legare street. [ The report of the pistol startled the household and upon investigation Mr. Trenholm was found to be lying on the floor of his room in a pool of blood. He was immediately removed to the Riverside infirmary, where his wound in the right breast, near his shoulder, was found to be quite serious, but not necessarily fatal. At the infirmary this afternoon it was stated that Mr. Trenholm's con| dition was still quite serious, but the young man appears to be holding his own, and may recover from the wound. The particulars of the shooting | could not be definitely established today. The shooting'is generally regretted by the numerous friends and acquaintances of the young man. He is well connected, of much ability and although it is said that his health has not been of the best, he has every promise of attaining a successful career. Mr. Trenholm has a fancy for the sea and only recently he returned to Charleston after a long voyage. Floyd Not Confirmed. Washington, April 20.?Although opposition from Spartanburg citizens and business men has practically ceased, the senate to-day again failed to confirm W. M. Floyd as postmaster. This was because Senator Smith had asked that the confirmation be held up and had not notified the postoifice committee that he had no further objections. The executive session being called before Senator Smith had withdrawn his opposition, the committee would not act on it. A petition signed by numerous prominent citizens of Spartanburg for the appointment of Mr. Young as postmaster was received by Senator Smith to-day, but it was accompanied by the statement that it was sent only as an evidence of good faith and was not intended now to be presented to the president, Mr. Floyd's name having been sent in. Since the meeting of the senate to-day Senator Smith has notified the committee that he has no further objection, and the senate will probably confirm Mr. Floyd's nomination tomorrow. Hurt by Falling Tree. Lexington, April 18.?Mr. Ben Kaminer, of the Edmunds section, met with a serious accident Friday, and it is said that he came very near losing his life. While in the woods cutting logs, it seems, the young man, while trying to get out of the way of one tree falling, ran right under another tree, which was being cut by another and which was falling at the same time. One of his legs was terribly broken between the knee and ankle. At last accounts he was doing as well as could be expected. I V- -'""I' *-: A Trip to the Magnolia Gardens. Left Suinnferville 8 a. m. on train; arrived at the ferry wharf 10 a. m. There took steamer Jackson for the beautiful Magnolia Gardens, sixteen f Aahlov IllHCD 11 VJJLLi liliO ICl l J t Up VUV AOU1V/J river. Out on the bay we have a fine view of this magnificent harbor and the city as it extends along its water front, the Cooper river on the East; bay on South, and Ashley ? on the West. These waters form the peninsula which encases the gem city of the South and the "Venice" of the future, when her neighboring marsh flats shall have been utilized, canaled, and gondolas shall traverse the waterways from river to river. Alt. Pleasant, Fort Moultrie, Fort Sumter, and Fort Johnson (where the quarantine is located), all come into view as we skirt along the extensive water front of the city. As we leave let us take a glance at the custom house. See the American flag as she drapes at half-mast to honor our great citizen, soldier, statesman. Gen. M. C. Butler is no more. He has fought his last battle, and peacefully rests in the bosom of his own beloved State, where his name will ever be honored and perpetuated. See the magnificent ships there the Apache of the Clyde Line. She has just received her cargo, and now glides majestically out into the open waters of the bay. We are now in the deep channel of the Ashley and passing in review the long stone walls of "the Battery," its beautiful park, and the charming residences that adorn this lovely resort of the city. Now we approach other ships lying lazily at .Anchor. Beautiful day, the sun shines brightly and not a ripple disturbs these peaceful waters. " " * ' . See the numerous church spires, and central in our love, dear old St. Michael's. Chime on, chime on ye beautiful bells, ring out your sacred songs for 'tis glad Easter tide. Your chiming bells fill our heart with joy and, inspiring lift our souls to-higher contemplations. The tide is low and against us as we are slowly .ugging up the Ashley. Here are the old rice and lumber mills, and many vessels are loading. See the high draw bridge swings rouncf for our entrance and now we come in sight of. "Hampton Gardens," where a few years ago we witnessed that exquisite Exposition. Its remembrance and those with whom we mingled, sweet memory still holds dear. On either side the neighboring forests draw near, the sable oaks draped in their mossy mantle are discerned , more clearly as we bug tbe margin ol the marshy stream to seek the deeper channel which at low tide scarcely permits our passage. Now we pass close by the wharfs of the great phosphate mills, inhale the incense wafted from their burning furnaces. On, on, we move, our merry little party, some from the city, and others tourists from the North, that linger to breathe our balmy air and feast upon this lovely scenery, no other place excels. The steamer blows her signal and the Atlantic Coast Line bridge opens for us. And now the third, the last, and largest bridge of all opens wide its portal wlfere the railroad brings the rock from the phosphate mines to the margin of the river, where, after it has been washed, it is then loaded into huge bulky barges and transported down the river to the mills which we passed. There it is eroiind into com mercial fertilizers, the same which is so extensively used and by proper means has so greatly enriched our farming glands. Now we are at the landing. Under the bowed branches of stern >old oaks of centuries' growth, here under this high* arch of nature's building, we pass through and are now in the famous Magnolia Gardens. I shall not attempt to describe the scenery which art and nature have combined to make so grand, beautiful, and sublime. Here the swamp cypress and the stern old oak with interlocking branches have grown old and have withstood the storms and tempests of centuries. And the stately magnolias In rows and long avenues stand (not yet in chaste beauty dressed) can well abide their time and in calm complacency admire the clustering roses, japonicas, and azaleas in their gorgeous array which is only a prelude to the beautiful scenery when the magnolias are in bloom. L. N. BELLINGER. Bamberg, April 19, 1909. Eyes Open Day and Night. After keeping his eyes open for more than-25 years, John Anderson died Tuesday from tuberculosis, his eyes remaining open even after death. This strange affliction of the eyelids was contracted while he was working in a limestone quarry. The dust so irritated his eyelids they became raw and grew to the eyeballs. When he desired sleep it was his custom to exclude the light. After he dropped ofT into unconsciousness the strongest light had no effect on him and he slept undisturbed.? New York World.

H. Ramey. of Gillsburg, Miss., was shot and killed by a negro Mon day evening. Ramey"s son avenged his father's death, killing the negro. Ramey went to the negro's house to collect an account and left his 19year-old son in charge of the horse at the gate of the negro's home. The son heard a shot and rushed inside. He found his father's body in a pool of blood. The young man seized the negro and during the struggle three shots were fired, all piercing the negroes head. Negro Shot White Youth. Sumter, April 17.?Ebbie Thomas, white, twelve years of age, was shot and killed at noon to-day by Jimmie McClean, colored, about sixteen or seventeen years of age. From information gathered it seems that the shooting was accidental, but the-coroner is investigating noV. It is said that McClean was getting his pistol out of his pocket and that it went off accidentally, the bullet penetrating the left side of young Thomas. The shooting occurred at the corner of Clean is in custody. The coroner's Cilean is in custody. The coroner's' inquiry is not yet completed. Woman Counsel in Hargis Case. Jackson, Ky., April 17.?When the second trial of Beach Hargis, charged with the murder of his father, Judge James Hargis, is called at Irvine, Ky., next Monday, one of the thirteen attorneys for the defense will be a woman attorney, Mrs. William A. Young. Her husband, who was one of the attorneys who secured the acquittal of Eugene Gardner, in San Francisco, for the murder of a negro, will also act for the defense, which will be directed by United States Senator W. O. Bradley. This will be the first time a woman attorney has appeared in an important case in Kentucky. Hargis has at his command fifty thousand dollars for his defense. This includes all his mother's part of the estate left by the parent whom he killed, as well as his own share. His sister, Mrs. Evelyn Hogg, now has a suit pending in which her mother is defendant, to prevent all the money of the estate being used to defend the young man. SPECIAL NOTICES."
