Formed Partnership With Squirrel
A. S. Sully, JrM state historian,
pays:
I Down in Orangeburg county there
in a Utile girl who has formed an
intimate friendship with a perfectly
wild squirrel. A year or ho ago she
was in the woods near her home and
saw a squirrel. It saw her, and while
it v?#s watching her, she placed a nut
on a fence and went away. Next day
she went back, and, finding the nut
gone, left another. Every day she
put a nut on that, pofil for the squirrel.
Finally the squirrel liny in*"\vait and
watched for his daily nut. Gradually
hr became, more accustomed to the
presence of his friend until finally he
would meet her at the post and take
the nut from her hand, and then be
coming still bolder it would run over
her body and poke his bend into her
pockets in. search -of food ^ ?
Now while that., iiquixiel trusted
that little girl implicitly he would
not this! others and if any one else
tried to join the party his actions
' w ?
clearly indicated that "three is a
crowtk'1 He would immediately take a
tree.
Married in Lancatiter.
On Monday rlxhrning inquiry whs
mud# of the Era editor by a man as
to how he might get married. Mag
istrate Cook happened to tic just
across the street from the office and
we culled him over and put t/ie man
in hi* care. ' Magistrate Cook had to
refer the man, who was accompanied
hy a young Kir) very much his junior
to Probate Judge Hit-hards at Lan
caster, and thither they wended their
way. They wi-ri1' traveling in a car
post haste from Camden. A couple
of hours later an irate mother was
here following in a car in search of
her daughter, but after learning that
she was- too late, returned home. In
a very short time after, the man and
the young girl returned , fiom Lan
caster byaring a certificate of the
Judge to the effect that he had unit
ed in marriage Miss Dessie Boone
and Charlie Vaughan, both of Cam
don, which the man proudly exhibited
tb the Era editor, and returned with
his young bride to Camden to face any
consequences.- ? Kershaw Era.

The Camden Bridge.
Answering an inquiry about the
cii.st, expensed and income of the
bridge across the Wateroe river at
Camden, Senator L. O. Funderburk
says: ?
"Our bridge and approaches cost
$100,000. The bonds axe 25-year
bonds, and we set aside about $4,000
each year as a sinking fund, besides
the interest. Two bridge keepers cost
about $3,000 each year. Upkeep of
approaches and painting steel, etc.,
will cost approximately $4,000 over a
period of several years- from which
to make up this approximation.
(J toss receipts for last year were $39,
000, but we are not expecting to hold
up to that amount. The cost of up
keep would be considerably lower if
the flooring had been creosoted, tarr
ed and graveled. We charge 50 cents
^per car for crossing or round trip in
?he same day and 10 fents for two
horse wairon, etc. The county board
issues bridge ticket books to citizens
of the county at half price, which is
considerable relief."
It would seem from the above that
the Camden bridge will .probably pay
for itself in three or fotir years, and
will then be a big source of revenue
for Kershaw county.
There might not b<? as much travel
over a bridge between Marlboro and
Darlington counties as over the one
at Camden, but we believe that a toll
bridge at Society Hill or Hunt's Bluff
will much more than pay for itself
during the term of the b6nds. ? Ben

GUTENBERG BIBLE FOR SALE
Said to Be Finest Example Left of
First Book Printed by Me
chanical Mean*.
l'.'rom Leipzig comes word that the
copy of the famous Gutenberg Bible,
which Is said to be the Quest example
extant of the first book printed by me
chanical means, Is <on the market, to
he Hold to the highest bidder.
Xhe Bible for years has reposed In
the Leipzig museum of books. Its sale
at this time Is forced because the mu
seum is unable to continue its exist
ence without new funds to cover Its
cost of maintenance.
This copy of the Gutenberg Blb\e was
presented to the state of Saxony by a
Dresden collector. The state. In turn,
vested the title In the Leipzig museum,
and ,thls institution, at the present, Is
prepared to pass on the heritage to the
highest bidder.
Artists of Germany, includln g Max
Liebermann, Louis Corinth, and other*,,
are attempting to raise funds to cover
the dellclt and save the book for Ger
many. The value of the Leipzig Bible
Is practically beyond appraisal. One
copy, in bad condition, was sold In 1011
for $500,000. AH other examples
known are damaged. This Leipzig
Bible alone Is a perfect specimen, and,
for that reason, is most highly valued
of all these examples of the early
printing art.
