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

proofreader of the publishing house,
"'the regiment charged in grim si

"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.

A Train Rocked.
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.

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.

A Tramp's Honesty.
"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.

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

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,
