Jag the river to, navigation. i We have understood in the last 1 I- few days that it is likely that a part i of Broxton township in Colleton coun- ' g ty will make an effort to vote themselves into Bamberg. We would be mighty glad to have the good people 'vof Warren and Broxton townships as citizens of Bamberg, and we suggest that it would, be well to hold both 5 elections at the same time. . > We trust that Bamberg's citizens / are alive to the proposition of open? ing the Edisto river. This will be a ? great thing for Bamberg, and we Should leave no stone unturned in our efforts to procure an appropriation | from the national government for the deepening of the river. Capt. Adams will soon make his trip of inspection, and we must be up and doing. Z . We still cannot hear that anything t is being ?done about that circular let% ter. If any efforts are being made to 5 <run down the author, it is being kept .mighty quiet. It is high time that ?] some sort of showing was being made > in this matter, for if not the people of the second district will know that all this 'bluster and noise before the % second primary was for 'political ef- J V feet only. We would be slow to ^ I charge baa taitn on me pan 01 au?> ^ one-, but it begins to look mighty suspicious. A few weeks ago a paper was start- 1 ed at Allendale, and last week the * editor stated editorially that he had 1 drummed every merchant in the town J for advertising, and yet his income s from advertising was only about $20 : a week, while his expense for printers 1 alone was $33 a week. The paper 1 certainly cannot live very long at this rate. Too many towns want newspa- 1 pers when they are not willing to support them. Fact is, no more newspapers are needed in South Carolina, either dailies or weeklies. 1 What is needed is improvement of those already published. But we suppose they will keep on being started and fail, just as has been the rule 1 for a long time past. In reference to the article in an- ! other column from the Walterboro Press and Standard, this newspaper knows nothing of any attempt at the 1 present time to add Warren town- 1 ship to Bamberg county, and it is news to us that any remuneration I lias Deen promised anyuuuy uy piumoters from Bamberg. If anybody in Bamberg is connected with the movement in any way. they are keeping mighty quiet about it. Of course Bamberg would be glad to have the good people of Warren township as f citizens, and they will be heartily ^ welcomed should they decide to be- ] come a part of one of the very best ; counties in the State. They are in a 1 good county now, but we feel they 1 will better themselves in many ways should they vote themselves into < Bamberg. i There is no sore-headedness aboi The Herald's advocacy of reformin :he primary and having stricter rul< ind regulations for the system. W a rote our first article several daj 3efore the second primary. But let seep up the agitation in behalf < better methods. Possibly we wi iccomplish something after a whil f we keep it up.

The wife will inherit his entii fortune, as there were no childre trom his first marriage.

"Inasmuch as you are not res lents of this State, you must be ma ried here," said Clerk O'Brien.

S ?s Rich Society Girl and Famous Flier e Who is Poor. *s s Eleanor A. Sears, the meteoric Back Bay belle, who startled Boston t ^ not many months ago by declaring 1 that she admired grooms more than [ the men in her set has set society 1 here gossiping by her constant as- ? 4 sociation with Claude GrahameWhite, the British aviator. For the ( past week she has been a daily spectator of his .flights at the Brockton 1 fair, and the two have constantly been > together. 1- It would not surprise New England j h society folk to hear of an engagement. ts Yesterday the aviator and Miss Sears te fnflnv Vi/Miro ot tVio fair tncpthdr and UVUiU UV WUV v^. "w? J wuv. r" this morning, while she was looking d over the horses, Grahame-White was 8 constantly at her elbow. The young l(* woman is lavish a^d frank in her 5" praise of his daring, and he does not n conceal his admiration for her horsels manship. They met barely three weeks ago k on the aviation field at Squantum. 1_ Grahame-White took the young so^ ciety girl for a sensational sail in his airship. Immediately afterwards she took him on an exciting automobile Ls ride. Then the two were constantly 11 seen in the restaurants about Boston [e at dinners and after-theatre supper n parties. 1_ Miss Sears worships any man or 5> woman who excels in feats of ^ strength and daring. Her adventures 18 on horseback, in automobiles, at tennis, boating and as a pedestrian have furnished gossip for two continents. As a polo player she was the first woman in America to adopt the riding breeches supposed' to me the exclusive e costumes for men. Several months j ago she made an ambitious attempt ^ to walk 100 miles on the Pacific coast n garbed in male costume. 1 Her admiration for athletics and a men of daring-do is so great that she .0 became impatient with the society n men of Boston. a "The men of our set are all sisls sies," she is reported to have remarkLr ed after a polo game. "I just love a groom. He is a real man. He is 0 willing to take a sporting chance." LS There is no question as to the Eng,s lish aviator's daring. He demonstra5_ ted it at the aero meet at Squantum. r In appearance he is handsome, after )f the style of Faversham. He stands j over six feet in his stockings, is stal- j j wart and has a reputation as a cross- l n country rider. , kg But Grahame-White is not particu- ( Le larly well endowed with this world's ? 2 goods. For this reason he came to < c America and has been earning consid- 1 [e erable money by flying as an exhibitor ? and by taking up passengers at the j rate of $50 a minute. His father ^ ie is a farmer in England. j s Miss Sears is the daughter of Fred- j j. erick R. Sears, one of Boston's >e wealthiest residents. Her family is of 1 the most aristocratic. Her personal (j fortune is figured in millions. At one ^ time she was reported engaged to ^ r_ Harold Vanderbilt, son of W. K. Van- * n derbilt, who for several seasons was 1 her most devoted swain. Then so- ^ ciety had her engaged to Paul J. Rai- ] ney, the wealthy Arctic sportsman. Out in California her engagement to ^ 1. Captain Gill, the English polo player, s was momentarily expected. One of ( her earliest affairs was with young ( * "Freddy" Prince, wealthy Bostohian. 1 ' _____ 1 ie Commission for New Paper. t * ] ^ Columbia, Oct. 7.?George R. 1 ie Koester and D. W. Robinson, the < latter a Coluumbia attorney, to-day 1 ia secured a commission for the News ] :s Publishing Company, capitalized at < ie $50,000 for purpose of publishing a < daily morning paper, The News, in 1S Columbia. Mr. Koester, who started newspaper work in Charleston, , e was managing editor of The Colum- , tn bia Register, founded The Daily Rec- 1 ord and sold that journal a year ago j e" to James Hoyt, said to-day: v. "An prrnnemis irriDression has ; ' gone out that the new paper is to be the organ of the incoming gubernat- . s" torial administration.

Mr. Koester says a feature will be i5> a board of control consisting of nine re representative men, who will be unk der pledge to make the paper adhere to the course above outlined, le He says $50,000 is named as the jy initial capital because that amount ;h has been practically all subscribed, g, He says a large increase of capital ie stock will be made when the paper ig has been organized and set going, a- This is the first authorized statement about the new paper. SCORES ARE HOMELESS. Town of Rainey River, Ontario, Devastated by Flames. Rainey River, Out., Oct. 9.?This own was on fire to-day from the Inernational bridge to Sixth street, a iistance of a half a mile. Included n the burned area are the Rat Portige Lumber company's mill and lumjer yard, containing 12,000,000 feet Df lumber; the Western Canada ^louring Mills and surrounding buildngs. Fifty houses were destroyed and icores of people are homeless. Fire s raging in the woods as far as can )e seen along the south bank of the rtainey river. Most of the women and children of ;his town have been taken away on special trains and many more are on steamer ready to leave should the vind change ana tne nre spreaa. The fire, driven by a furious north vest wind, is beyond control nad nust burn itself out. List of Dead. The known dead are: S'X unidentiied residents of Pitt, Minn. Unknown woman and boy of near Pitt. Seven unknown settlers on track vest of Pitt. Two entire families, one of eight nembers and one of seven, ten miles ;ast of Pitt, recently arrived from Jrafton, N. D. John Tulley and five members of lis family, recently arrived from Fulerton, Neb., burned to death west of Spooner. Four land speculator from Davenjort, Iowa, recent arrivals at Beau* lette, caught by flames while out for lomestead on south side Beaudette iver. ? * t-> ^ j t~* ?1_ jonn Simmons, n.ea xvuok., oui., ;imber inspector, caught by flames on ailroad track. Mattson Berg and five members of lis family, burned to death on outskirts of Spooner when house was lestroyed. They attempted to weather the flames in a big stone cellar and vere suffocated. John Rolin and family of eight, ?rom Pitt. Severt Hagan, George Weaver, Uharles Baker and Patrick O'Meara, | if Arlington, Minn. Thousands Missing. The missing include some 2,000 -esidents of Beaudette, Spooner and Pitt, some of whom are dead, but the nost of whom are safe in Rainey River and the adjacent towns on the Canadian side of the line. The most jerious aspect of the missing includes ;he homesteaders and farmers in the lush for a distance of 100 miles east ind 20 miles south of whom absolutely nothing can be learned for some time as searching parties do lot dare Denetrate the still smoking forests. International Disaster. While a wind is sweeping a sea of ire eastward on the nor.th side of Elainey River at a velocity of 50 miles m hour, the great body of flames passed this section revealing a caamity that already reaches the proportion of an international disaster. Sixty blackened corpses have been found in the path of the flames and i vast area is yet to be searched for lead, while towns of Spooner, Beaulette and Pitt, with a loss that can aot be calculated at present. With the exception of the destruction of he mills and stock of the Rat Portage Lumber company, Rainey River, although in course of the flames, escaped great damage. The flames touched a corner of the town, but the principal loss is confined to the south side of the river and chiefly sustained along the American border. Communication Interrupted. Raliroad and wire connections with the scene of the great disaster from the West are cut off by a burneA district of 30 miles through which the last train passed last night at peril Df the lives of the crews. The road is open to the south and east, however, and relief is being afforded from Fort Williams. These fires have been smouldering in that district for months and have started anew. Lost Again. It is the custom of a certain pubi/* e^vioni dnwn in Maine tor the LAV OV<uW4 .. ? _ ;eacher to write on the blackboard any instructions they desire tht jani;or to receive. The other morning the janitor saw written: "Find the greatest common divisor." "Hello!" he exclaimed, "is that lurned thing lost again?"
