Thursday, Sept. 2, 1909 Col. James T. Bacon, the veterai editor of the Edgefield Chronicle and known and loved all over Soutl Carolina, has been right ill recently but the pleasant news is that he i recovering. We hope the Colone will be spared for many years. Ii the cotton crop is going to b< anything like as small as is now pre dieted, we believe nothing will kee] the price from going to fifteen cent but the farmers rushing the staple to market. Don't rush your cottoi to market and thus keep down th< receipts and the price is bound t< H> ' go up. One of the banks in Columbia ha; announced that it will loan mone; at six per cent, interest on cottoi stored in warehouses in severa towns in the State. Bamberg ough 4 ' to have a cotton warehouse, s< that our farmers could hold thei cotton and get moMty on it whei they did not want to sell. _ There is a great demand for dwell ing houses in Bamberg. We knov of several parties who want housei right now, and cannot get them Other people want to move here t< educate their children, or to go int< various lines of work, and yet the} cannot get houses to live in*. Then not a vacant dwelling in town -- / and whenever a house does becom< ? <* O ?TT*Aoi CrtVQ TV> Klo tf TSVttUl) UiClc 10 a 51 vav OW?auw?V V> get it. Those men who have theij interests in Bamberg and whose future is so closely connected with the growth of the city, should think seriously about present conditions. 11 private parties will not erect housee for rent, let us organi2e a land anc improvement company which wil buy property and improve it, anc erect houses for rent or to be sole on easy terms. If the town is tc grow, we must have more houses tc rent. ? Frankly, when we installed oui linotype and put in so much additional machinery, as well as erecting a fine building for our newspaper office, we were a little afraid that we were overdoing the thing?in othei words, putting in a plant which the town would not support. But we are glad to say that so far we have nothing to complain of. Last fall anl winter we were kept very busy, ofter having to run our machine day anc night. During the summer we have "kept busy all the time, and while printing offices in other towns in the Cfato were Anmnlnininc nf nnnr blisi ness, The Herald force was kept busj all the time, in fact we had to pu" on another man during the summer Our business for 1909 bids fair t< more than double that of 1908, an< we want to say that we are gratefu to all who have given us their work We are prepared to take care o everything that comes our way, an< we want all the business we cai get.

Crawford Accused of Practic= ing Medicine Without a License. - Abbeville, Aug. 30.?J. W. Craw'6 ford, of Donald's, who has been n styling himself a physician and surg geon and practicing medicine at Donaid's, and also running a large hos- ; t pital, was arrested today by Consta- , ^ ble C.

Upon arrival in Abbeville i he found himself in further trouble, i k An action had been brought by the i r_ State, ex-relatione, J.

The ' case is based on the principles announced by the supreme court in the dispensary injunction cases, and the case of the State vs Columbia Water Power company, in which the defend_ ant was enjoined from building a bridge interfering with the free navigation of the canal. What is News? El In pronouncing sentence on a pris/ oner, a judge in North Carolina recently injected censure of the news'? papers for the wide publicity given s ordinary crimes and for their emphaj sizing murder more thai* religion. This censure calls up the whole question of what constitutes news. Is it anything that happens in the B whole range of human experience - from the basest to the noblest? Is it p anything that happens or only such s things as contain an element of interest to more or less people? This e in turn brings us to a consideration 1 of whether the mere fact of human, a or a limited human, interest in a 3 fact or event or incident really gives it that quality which constitutes it news. f Oh, we know the answer that, ? s being men, nothing human is fore- . 7 ign, or should be foreign, to us. We i also know that the devil is said * j to quote Scripture to secure "his own ends. Hence the quoting of a really 1 noble sentiment does not justify its ^ > ignoble application. There are lanr guages, like the Chinese say, wherein x the same symbol represents at once the highest and basest ideas accord- c ing to the placing of accent or pitch fc of voice. Does this fact justify the d " baser use. k 7 In reality what constitutes news k 5 turns on the chief end of newspa- a pers themselves. Do they exist chiefly as investments to make money or t ) should they be primarily run for ser- h ) vice? Should they make their chief j end the education and uplift of the y j reading public by keeping them in h touch with world life and human ? progress? Do they exist for the t i stimulation to worthy and constant > activity by telling of the activities ? of others, for keeping full and fresh * 1 and tender the springs of human t * kindness and sympathy by telling of N ? those experiences of their fellows . that move the mind, heart, and will s to action without leaving stain or a [ sting or demoralizing Suggestion bei hind. " ' U I "But," says the newspaper man, 8 ^ "we are not in this business for our health. We print papers to sell t: 1 and we must supply the public with c I what they want." By this position, h o noWanoncr man aiirronHora h(o nn. P ) * ? , tential position of educational and D moral leadership for one of slavery to human prejudice, passion, and lit- * tleness. He confesses to community a r of purpose with the man who caters - to the morbid, the debasing, the de- h ? praved tastes of the people in order ' to make money. D No, that is not news nor the mis* sion of the true paper, which der tails the scandal that brings evil sug? gestion to some and to others the J [ shame that wounds the heart and " ' taps the living springs ofr^self-rei spect. That is neither newsmor curl rent history nor matters of human t interest or entertainment that ex- j poses to human eye or brings home 1 to human consciousness the muck J and the filth and the frailties of hu> man kind. That is sometimes human g cruelty, it is always a source of de- t ' praved tastes, of human contamina- d ' tion, and of moral infection.?South- j, r em Christian Advocate. h t ? d Hie Master is Here.. o > If my Lord should come at noon- ^ 1 day, I , The time of the dust and heat, E When the glare is white, and the air ? is still, * f And the hoof-beats sound in the * j street?

Key West, Fla., Aug. 27.?As a result of the explosion at noon today of 700 pounds of dynamite at Bocaccha:a, 12 miles from Key West, on the Florida East Coast railway, 12 men are dead, five others probably fatally wounded and at least a dozen others less seriously injured. The explosion was caused by a member of the railroad construction force carelessly throwing a lighted cigaret into a box Df fuses. Nine of the workmen met instant death and a tenth died while being brought to the hospital. The men were hurled high into the air and the hodies of the dead were almost be pond recognition, arms and legs being torn from the bodies of some, while the faces of others were mere masses of flesh. When the explosion occurred the workmen were standing in water four feet deep and directly beneath them was the 700 pounds of dynamite, ready for the blast when the men 6hould stop work for dinner. According to one of the wounded, i workman?one of the nine to meet leath instantly?threw a lighted eigiret to one side, not noticing that it 'ell into the box containing the fuses ruara trmnpntpri with the heftW charges of explosives beneath them. I K few seconds and the men, water, I nud and tons of dirt were thrown 70 I ;o 90 feet in the air. 1 Tugs at once brought the dead and I nore seriously wounded to thiB city, I he latter being placed in the Louise I daloney hospital. I Those less seriously injured were I )laced on Stock Island, opposite Bo- I lacchaca and will be brought to Key I ^rest later. & Key West, Fla., Aug. 27.?Most of he victims of the explosion arrived lere from New York last Sunday. = Late this afternoon six more of the nore seriously wounded were 5| >rought to the hospital here. The ? njuries are not considered fatal. Lj About 50 men were at work all lose together, when the box of fuses jj rere discovered ablaze and had it not jj >een for the sounding of the alarm g >y the dredge master it is doubtful 5 f a third of the men would have es- (5 aped with their lives. ^ There is some contention as to the | ause of the explosion. jj The battleship South Carolina fin- S shed her official trial runs off the Js Delaware capes Friday and the con- Mj ensus of opinion of the experts is gi hat she is the fastest and most S iconomical in coal consumption of [g my battleship in her class. -On tne g our hour endurance run the South jl Carolina consumed one and four- M enths pounds per indicated horse- fij ower. On each of the two 24-hour ? uns the battleships consumed one m tnd five-tenths pounds per horse tower. ^ The Meddlesome Law. m =< A little man slunk out of a house g in the avenue, glanced up appre- w lensively at its front windows, then B larted down the street. Before- he g iad traversed twenty steps, however, Kj ie found himself in the clutches of & , huge policeman. (g "Let me go officer!" he pleaded, as W he grim custodian of the law held ^ lim fast. g "Not much. I won't. What're W ou acting so suspiciously around ^ ere for, eh?" M "I live in that house there," was ffi he discomfited man's explanation. Q Don't hold; let me go, I say!" g "Oh, you live there, do you? Come ? hat's too thin.

W "But my wife is getting ready to pend the day out; you'll get me in gj fix, officer!" ?j "That's what I'm paid for?Step ively, now, and we'll see what your ;ame is!"
