According to the popular superstition, if the groundhog, when he comes out ou this day, sees his shadow, he goes back, and there will be a late springs As the ; day was cloudy, he did not , behold his profile around Bamberg, so we are to have an early spring, the ground-hog remaining out of his hole. Very little fertilizer has been shipped to Bamberg this year. Our information is that it is the same way all over the county. There will not be much guano used by the farmers this season. It is usual at this time of the year to see several carloads of fertilizer being hauled from Bamberg. As this is the second year that the farmers have dispensed with gu ^ ano, the land is doubtless suffering. Yesterday at 11 o'clock in the forenoon, the railroad commission held a hearing in Columbia on the matter of requiring the Southern railway and the A. C. L. railway to make physical connection at Bamberg. The matter has been agitated for some time, the needs for the two roads to connect their lines being quite evident.

Sidney Hartzog, of jreenwood, is making good at his iob, or rather has already made good, judging from the newspaper comnent. Mr. Hartzog is a fosmer Bam>erg boy. He was born and reared lere, going to Greenwood some years igo. Recently Mr. Hartzog employid two detectives to ferret out the Mind tigers in Greenwood and put Viam fn rrtnt TViq + y?*o wrtrtoH for ,11^/111 vV 1 VUlt X ix v_/ t " V " VI *VVU 1.V* l while on the matter, and then gave t up as a bad job and quit, reportng to the mayor that the town was 3ractically free from illicit whiskey sellers. They stated that they had >perated in every State of the union n cleaning out the blind tiger trade, md that Greenwood was more free of ;igers than any place they had ever visited. Mayor Hartzog is giving jreenwood a clean administration, ind his many friends here are glad :o know of his success. At a recent neeting of the directors of the Farmirs and Merchants bank, of Greenvood, Mr. Hartzog was elected presilent of that institution. Want Tomato Club Organizer. Several ladies who are interested n the work of the tomato clubs of >ther counties have circulated a peition in this county asking the Bam)erg delegation to the general as;embly to make an appropriation to nstitute this work in Bamberg couny. The petition has been freely ;igned, and it is understood that the lelegation now has the matter under consideration. It is stated that in >rder to have the home demonstrairm work instituted it will be neces ;ary to have an appropriation of ibout $600 from the county. The jovernment will supplement this imount in a sum necessary to pay he salary of an organizer. The tonato club work has been quite a suc:ess in every county where it has >een instituted. Each girl enlisted n the work plants and cultivates >ne-tenth of an acre of tomatoes, ^rom this small area the girls are hown what can be made. 'In addiion to the tomato club work, there ire a variety of domestic demonstraions carried on, tending to elevate ural life, and give instruction in Lomestic affairs. It is understood that the only obection to the appropriation" being nade this year is on account of the Inancial condition of-the country at arg:e. The delegation, as well as the vhole general assembly, ar.e paring lown every possible item of expense, md whether the delegation can see heir way clear to include this item emains to be seen. It seems to be he general opinion that the expendiure would be a wise one, but it is tot known whether or not it can be nade at this time. > Invention by Clyde Rowell. Clyde Rowell has invented, and ap>lied for a patent through his at-i orney, a very serviceable device to | he traveling public. The device is i "footstool" that is attached to the tep of a passenger car or Pullman ar, and it works automatically when he platform door is opened to disiharge and receive passengers. Every rear many people receive injuries rom the upsetting of the "footstool," hereby putting the railroad com>any to a large expense. This deice will be on the market in a few* veeks, it is stated. It is understood that Mr. Rowell las been offered a neat sum for his nvention, but he has refused the ofer, as he doesn't care to dispose ot t. This invention is onevof five Mr. Lowell expects to have patented vithin' the year. His friends are congratulating him upon his success as in inventor. 1 Master's Sales. l- , Monday last, being salesda'y,' the naster made 1:he following sales at ;he court nouse: Copeland versus Bishop: Fifteen teres sold to S.

"I am living at an old homestead that has belonged to several generations of the same family. It has now passed into the hands of .strangers; the members of the old family are dispersed and gone away. But this \ place is a memorial to them, ahd especially to the first woman who came here as a bride and lived here as wife and mother through a long and useful life. Her impress is still upon everything; her spirit lives anew in the recurrent blooming of her rose garden. I, a stranger, feel a kinship with her as I breathe their dewy fragrance. Early in the spring myriads of daffodils, jonquils and narcissus came up in great haste. Some bore trumpets and were the trumpeters of the good tidings of spring, the eternal yellows of all the sunsets within the hearts of them, their fragrance and fre^iness almost divine: At Easter time the white flags unfurled in all their purity, an emblem of the sweet spirit of her whose pure thought and innate love of the beautiful gave them, a perpetual gift ' of loveliness, to those that came after her. . Today there is a flaming of crimson lilies and amaryllis against the green shrubbery. Nor can we who are the inheritors of this loveliness forget that the sweetness of one woman made it all possible. Though she is mingled with the dust, the work of her hands lives on in the beauteous life pf the lilies; she is immortalized in the blooming of Vi/\* fl Atiroro 11C1 liu r> b>w> ''There is a lesson for me in all this exquisite loveliness. I, too, may live again in a flower or vine or tree. Who of us but can recall, even now, mother's rose bush, or the hollyhocks, lilies, and larkspur of the old home garden; the trees that father planted, the walnrit at the barn lot, to say nothing of the individual fruit trees that had each a name and personality of its own? "Now for the lesson. I have already planted some blood-red cannas; they are growing beautifully and will continue for years and years. I am a 'rolling stone' but I do try to leave each spot I roll away from a little bit improved. At one place where I once lived is growing a clematis vine that blooms like a summer snow storm of vapory white flowers. At another a grand Virginia "creeper covers a plain little cottage, changing it into a fairy castle by moonlight. "It is easy to set a few straight, fine little trees in a bare sun-stricken yard of the rented places?trees that are growing wild and free all over our dear Southland. Just a thought of those who are to come after us, and that thought materialized by the planting of a walnut, or maple, or ? ? ?~ r\Y> invthincr of beau V JXIy UI 11 ^ tl CCy V/1 M(ixj v^ ~ ? ? ty and joy, will make all the world lovelier and ourselves nobler. Do this; do it now. No matter if you only have a week to stay wThere you are, leave a memorial, so that others who live there in days to come will know that it has sometime been the abode of one whose soul was alive with the love of God and of nature and humanity."?Mrs. W. I. Zachry, in the Progressive Farmer. * Down in Baldhead Row. Little Edna is always frightened at the appearance of Indians upon the screen at picture shows. "Mamma," she whispered to her mother the other night at the theatre, "are there going to be any Indians in this show?" "No, d^ar." answered the mother. "But mamma," persisted, little Edna, "have the Indians been out yet?" "Why, no, Edna; I told you there were no Indians in this play."

Another Version of its Origin ai Adoption by Congress. .Mr. William Henry Hey ward, this city, has called to the attenti* of the News and Courier an accou of the seal of the United States d fering in important particulars frc the account published in the Ne1 and Courier of last Thursday in t course of the series of historical stu ies entitled "Odd Incidents in Am* ican History." The following "H tory of the Great Seal" is taken frc an old book called "The Footprir of Time:" Soon after the formal establis ment of the republic by the declai tion of independence, Beffjam Franklin, John Adams and Thorn Jefferson were appointed a comm tee to prepare a seal. They emplc ed an artist and furnished various c vices, Jefferson combining them all the request of the others. The e per still exists in the office of the s* retary of State at Washington. Th reported August 10, 1776, but f some unknown reason, probably r gleet, it was not acted on. In 1779 another committee was a pointed to make a device. They i ported May 10, 1780. It was not ? ceptable, and was recommitted, bei) again reported a year afterward, b not adopted. In 1782 a third coi mittee was appointed, but could n satisfy congress in their report, was then referred to the secretary congress, Charles Thomson, who pr cured various devices that were u satisfactory. After vainly striving to perfect seal which should meet the approv of congress, Thomson finally receiv from John Adams, then in London ; exceedingly; simple and appropria device, suggested by Sir John Pre* wich, a baronet of the west of En land, who was a warm friend of Ai erica, and an accomplished antiqua ian. It then consisted of an escutc eon bearing 13 perpendicular stript white and red, with the chief blu and spangled with 13 stars; and, give it greater consequence," he pr posed to place it on the breast of * American eagle, displayed, witho supporters, as emblematic of self-r liance. It met with general approb tion, in and out of congress, ,and was adopted in June, 1782; so it manifest, although the fact is not e tensively known, that we are indet pH onr national arms to a titl aristocrat of the country with whi we were then at war. Eschewing i heraldic technalities, it may be th described in plain English: Thirty perpendicular pieces, white and re a blue field; the escutcheon on t breast of the American eagle displa ed, holding in his right talon an < ive branch, and in his left a bund of ttfirteen arrows, and in his be,* a scroll, inscribed- with the motto Pluribus Unum. For the crest, ov the head of the eagle, which appea above /the escutcheon, a golden, glo breaking through a cloud, and si rounding thirteen stars, forming constellation of white stars,' on blue field. Reverse?a pyramid unfinished, the zenith, an eye in a triangle, si rounded with a glory. Over the e3 the words Annuit Caeptis?"God h favored the undertaking.," On t base of the pyramid are the num< al Roman letters MDCCLXXVI, ai underneath the motto, Novus Or Seculorum?"A New Series of Age ?denoting that a new order things had commenced in the wei ern hemisphere. Thus, after ma: fruitless efforts, ior neariy six yea. a very simple seal was adopted, ai yet remains the arms of the Unit States.?News and Courier. TEXAS A STATE 70 YEARS.

It was 70 years ago?Decern!] 29, 1845?that the great State Texas was admitted to the Unio and thereby hangs a tale of woe su as attaches to no other member of t sisterhood of American commc wealths.
