FACTS AND FIGURES. An electric light and waterworks plant can be built for $25,000. Suppose the town was to issue bonds for $25,000; they could at least float them for 4 or 4* per cent. This would be $1,250 interest. The plant could be run at a total expense of $1,500, and the income from the use of lights and water rent would be at least $1,800 or $2,000 per year. The present mode of lighting the town costs $500 a year. Here we have a total income of, say $2,500, against $2,750 for interest and expenses, a nwlir OOJJA Tf mnillfl l">nf UUUlb KJX. Vil 1J xv uvwiu mvv increase the present taxes one mill. Besides, about $5,000 goes out of the town every year for insurance. If we had waterworks, the rates would be materially reduced, at least about fifty per cent, which would be a great saving to the tax* payers. The town can build and operate an electric light and water plant without ;ncreasing the rate of taxation to any appreciable extent, and it would be a great saving to the property-holders of the town. We have tried to make our figures conservative, and if we are wrong we would be glad if some one would correct us. But, by all meaus, let us have these needed improvements. * * * We want to make considerable improvement in our office, and to also improve the paper. We can only do this by collecting the money that is due us. some ot our suoscriDers sre considerably behind, and if every one would promptly pay what they owe, we could buy the new press, etc., easy enough. Pay up, friends, so that we can give you a better paper. * * * Miles to the Front. Nelson A. Miles, general commanding the army, will go to the Philippines to direct the military opera tionB during the approaching campaign. /This.statement, while not authorized by any announcement from the president or secretary of war, is made, upon the authority of one of the highest officers of the department, an officer who enjoys the confidence of President McKinley aud who has been exerting his influence to have General Otis retained in his dual capacity of military commander and governor general. The Free Matter. Before going with the phosphate : board Comptroller General Derham spent a couple of days in Barnwell last week, investigating the shortage ot former Treasurer Free, which was reported by Mr. Free's son, Mr. Derham has not completed his investigation, aud has left Mr. Wise, an expert accountant, there working on the books. The present work ft to go over all the settlements so that if anything happened during previous years it will be discovered. Mr. Derham said that while working on the case he heard statements regarding what disposition was made of the $8,000, which it is re ported is due the county by the late treasurer. Soon after Mr. Free went into office it is stated that a young man weDt to him and suggested that they go together and buy up country claims, as he thought there was good money in the venture. Mr. Free drew a check for $5,000, which he handed to the young man for the investment. It is said that no money nor claims were turned over to Mr. ; Free. Instead of getting what was intended Free was given, or iu some way acquired in lieu thereof, a house and lot and one hundred acres of laud from the party 10 whom he ad vanced the $5,000. This money, it is said, must have come out of the county funds, as Mr. Free did not have that much money of his own on hand, and expected to make it good. It is stated that treasurer Free also used $1,000 with which to pay a mortage due by him to parties in Romhoi'ir ri'hic mnndu ic nlcn 1U UdUl -ft- ***?-' U4V1IV ? J thought, came out of the treasury of the county, There was found in the money drawer due bills and notes aggregating $2,000. This is money for which the county has given its receipts aud which, if collected, would go to reduce the indebtedness of Mr. Free to the -ounty. It fe thought that about $1,500 of the amount can and will be collected, and this will reduce the shortage to the extent of the money recovered. It is stated by Mr, Derh-mi that the county will not lose a cent, and Mrs. Free and the children of Mr. Free have indemnified the bondsmen for every cent. A consent judgement will be secured for the amount of the shortage, and the bondsmen will be given a consent judgement for all that the experts hold is due to the county on account of shortage. Mrs. Free has turned over her home and every particle of property, so that there will be no trouble whatever in collecting every cent that is due the county?nothing is due the state.?A. K., in News and Courier. The Barnwell Shortage. Comptroller General Durham says that he hasleit the entire matter of the Free shortage in Barnwell county in the hands of Expert Wise, who is hard at work on the books in the treasurer's ofllce, and .-I 1 lito I Ulltll jMI". >\ mis wiujncicw mo i arduous labors it will be impossii ble to tell anything of the extent of the shortage. Mr. Wise spent Saturday night in the city compar| ing the ligures of the records in the | comptroller's office with those, he | had found i'11 the treasurer's office I in Barnwell. A development in the matter is a claim for >4,500 presented to the | deceased treasurer's bondsmen by Agent Brooker of the sinking fund commission. This amount is claimed by the sinking fund's representative to be due over and above the shortage heretofore reported. Mr, Wise will endeaver to ascertain from the books the basis for this claim.?The State. WASTED EFFORTS. He Tried to Be a Hero, bat Got Ifl Chance. "Well, did you have a good time?" asked one young man of another whc had been spending Sunday with goeh country friends. The returned wanderer ran his banc through his back hair and looked puzzled. "Really," he answered, "I can't saj whether I did or not. I was supposed to, and I did most of the time, but J had the worst fright of my life just th< same." "What was it?" asked his friend. "You might as well tell me." The other looked down at his shoes, drew a long sigh and then started in or the story. "It happened on Sunday evening. Ton know I have some other friendf who are camping just across the lake, and as it was a lovely night I thoughi that I'd just row over to their place anc have a chat. So into the. boat I got anc began to pull away, when suddenly ) heard a yell that made my hair rise straight up on end?a yell that yor never forget when once you've heard ii ?the yell of a drowning man. "It had sounded over to my right, and I twisted the boat around with e jerk that nearly lost me both my oars and started toward it, rowing for dear life and peering into the gloom till my eyes ached. "But when the cry came again it sounded farther off than ever, and the third time it was decidedly on my left 'Echoes,' thought I and rowed harder. By that time the perspiration was running down my face and body in perfect rivers, and I was puffing like a steam engine, but on I kept, working awaj toward that dreadful, agonizing yell, when suddenly it stopped. 'Dead,1 thinks L 'Well, I'll have to look foi the body,' when it came again, way ofl behind me somewhera That was the last straw. No echo could twist arounc in that manner, but, just the same, 1 wasn't going to work any more for thai chap. If he had been decent and drowned in one place, I'd have done my best to make a heroic rescue, but no one could expect me to chase after a mar who persisted in drowning all over the lake and who took such an everlasting time about it into the bargain. I began to think that it would be rather a good thing to have such ar idiot off the face of the earth, and letting all my sympathetic vim die out 1 rowed slowly over to the camp and reached there more tired than I've beer since I quit taking the girls out on mj tandem. The first thing I heard when the boye saw me was: "Hello, Bill I Hear the loon that's been piping around herel Doleful, isn't it?" "Was that a loon?" says I, dropping down on a roll of blankets. "Well, then, there were two of them, and the othei was lots the biggest." "The boys couldn't tell what I meant, and they don't know to this day; don'1 intend they shall, either. There are some jokes on yourself that are too good to tell." And as the young man lit a cicrar and smoothed down his hair once more he looked as if he almost regretted having told it at all, bnt it was too late. The fatal deed was done.?Cleveland Plain Dealer. Its Meaning. "'Right np the hill,'" read the proofreader of the publishing house, "'the regiment charged in grim si lence, broken only by the continuous musketry fire on both sides.' I wondei what that means." "That's the way it is here," replied the man who was holding copy. "It means, I think, that the author is an ex-policeman."?Chicago Tribune. Never Taken For a Bear.

As the train on the Southern road j lnul just pulled out of Williston on its way to Augusta Saturday night, some miscreant hurled a huge rock through the car window striking a i colored passenger by the name of | Sam W right m the forehead. me i blow was a most severe one. The j man cried out in the greatest alarm and pain. In an instant it was ap j parent that the blow had knocked the senses from the unfortunate ne| gro. Wright sprang from his place, rushed into the baggage' compart' ment and leaped from the car. The I train was running at full speed. - It was brought to halt as quickly as ' | possible and run back to the point j where tlm man had jumped from it. I j Wright was found in the bushes. ' He begged for mercy and protested that he had done nothing for which ' i he should be shot. He was placed i 011 the car and Dr. Harry Brooks, I surgeon of the Coast Line, who was > aboard, made examination of his wound. The blow did not cause a serious hurt, but the injury was very painful. The man was cut and bruised by his jump from the moving train. He was given careful ? attention and before he reached the city he was himself again or nearly so. About the same time that he 1 was struck another rock, thrown into the car, struck a negro lad. The I boy's hand resting on the iron arm . to the seat. The missile caught the little finger and pinned it to the f iron seat arm, partially severing the I member near the joint. Again, at I Montmorenci a missle was thrown i into the first class passenger car of the same train' and struck Mrs. James Birt on the face, scattering glass all around, as it broke a sash i coming into the window. The Queen and Crescent route, i says the New York Journal, an? nounces that it has a locomotive * which makes no smoke. It is hard [ to believe that such is the case and J that the day is soon at hand when railroad travel will no longer mean i soiled hands, black faces and grimy b hands. There are two factors in this smokeless firing of the locomo. tives. The first is the construction k of the fire box and the" second J the rule laid for the firemen to fol; low in firing the locomotive. In order to obtain the best results j possible in the prosecution of their > efforts to maintain a strictly smokeless line of trains the company provides all Its officials with "smoke cards," on which reports are sent in ! to the superintendent of the time at J which smoke was seen issuing fiom the stack of the locomotive.. A re cord is kept of these reports and - the promotion of the firemen is govI erncd thereby. Ordinary soft coal i is used in firing 'on these engines, I making the result of the invention | all the more remarkable. Story of a Slave. * To be bound hand and foot for t years by the chains of disease is j the worst form of slavery. George r D. Williams, of Manchester, Mich, tells how such a slave was made free, > He says: My wife has been so helpi less for five years that she never " turned over in bvd alone. After usI ing two bottles of Electric Bitters, { she is wonderfully improved and is T able to do her own work. This supreme remedy for female diseases i quickly cures reryousness, sleepless> ness, melancholy, headache, back' ache, fainting and dizzy spells. This miracle working medicine is a ' Godsend to weak, sickly, and run , down people. Every bottle guaranteed. Sold by Thomas Black and Bamberg Pharmacy. J In a well-known college in the 1 United States an old negro called i Tim had waited on the students for 1 many years. He was not without 1 his peccadillos in the way of petty larceny, and caught tripping on one occasion by one of his employers, he was gently reproved. "Ah, old fel low, you are bound for the devil! i What are you going to do, sir, when you get down in his regions?" "I dnnno, Mars Ed," answered Tim, 1 i "douten I jes keep on waitin' on de ' students!" 1 JJare presence of mind probably ? saved the life of Mrs. Flora Jennison 1 who with a party was camping on Clear Creek, Idaho. She wa^out in a blackberry patch, when she ran k across a bear with cubs. The mother bear with a vicious snarl, made i for her. Like a flash 31 rs Jennison tore off her skirt and slung it over the bear's head. While the enraged ? bear was tearing the garment to ' pieces in an effort to extricate itself the woman fled down to the camp. Some of the camp hearing her f screams, started out with their guns and met her. They killed the bear ; and captured the cubs, which Mrs. r Jennison is now raising on a bottle. Judge Benet Home Again. Judge W. C. Benet has returned from his trip to Europe. The judge > looks remarkably well. He spent yesterday in the city.

"I've slept under a shed with tlie thermometer 'way below zero," said the tramp, "and I've gone two long days with nothing to eat, but I'm telling you straight that when I once had $1,000 in my pocket I was worse off than at any time I can remember. I had just been let out of in f Uiipncrn :irwl \rflS I tin; ui ivic ?y vu, in viiiv>'0v, ?.?? ..? begging on the streets and being turned down on every hand, when 1 picked up a $1,000 bill 011 the sidewalk. I thought it was a dollar, and you bet I made a hustle to get down a side street. When I dodged into a doorway and made out that 1 was $1,000 ahead of the game the! sweat started from every pore and my knees knocked together. I was regularly sea sick for ten minutes, and my heart thumped away until I thought it would break out. "That $1,000 meant a heap for me, you understand, but I was so excited that it was two hours before I could do any planning. The first thing was to buy a new suit of clothes, and I entered a store and picked them out. When I exhibit ed that $1,000 bill the clothier ran to the door to call a policemau. I got away by a close squeeze, and then I realized the situation. Tramp 1 1 T ^ /VA/1 tnat i was, x wumu u tmuigcu at a bank nor use it to make me more comfortable. If it had been a ten I could have had lodgings and a bed, but I'm telling you that I walked the streets as hungry as a shark and slept at police stations and in lumber yards. "Under the circumstances the bill might as well have beeu a piece of brown paper. I tried all sorts of dodges to get it busted, but it was no go. Every time I showed it I ran the risk of arrest. I offered a butcher $100 to get it changed, but he refused to have anything to do with it. I'd have sold it for half price and been glad to, but there was 110 such thing as making a deal. Finally, in despair, I went to one of the newspaper offices and looked up the advertisements for the week past. The loser had advertised, and I went to his office in a big building and gave up the bill. The reward was $50, but he counted out $10 on top of that, and said. " T wouldn't have believed there was such honesty inthewoild. You could have kept the bill just as well as not.' "He took down my name and all that and gave the affair away to the reporters. They wrote me up as the 'Honest Tramp,' and had my picture in the papers, but yon may guess I didn't enjoy it overmuch. I had $60 ill place of $1,000, and as. for my honesty, it was all bosh. I returned the bill because I had to, and though I'm hungry and dead broke and don't know where to turn in for the night, I'm not looking for any more big finds.
