The idea of raising a fund for the
widow and children of Gen. Lawton,
who was recently killed in the
Phillipines, is a noble movement,
but it seems to be the heighth ol
ingratitude on the part of the government
not to care for the loved
ones of soldiers killed in battle.
k
No doubt if the camp followers and
army- bummers of the late civil
war were removed from the pension
lis list Uncle Sam could afford to provide
for the needy families of brave,
deserving soldiers.

Sometimes we are inclined to believe
that the people in Bamberg
g don't want a newspaper in the town.
Some of our citizens?who haven't
??- anything against the paper that we
know of?never patronize us in an
advertising way, and then send their
- job printing out of town without
if\- even giving us a chance to bid on it.
. We know that The Bamberg Herald
benefits the town and its business
men, and we certainly feel that
our work ought to be appreciated to
the extent of patronizing " ome euJ
| terprises.

Rev. Dwight L. Moody, the evan"
gelist, died at his home in Northfield,
Mass., last Friday. His death
*1'.- is a distinct loss to the Christian
church and the world generally.
Mr. Moody made his life-work the
saving of souls, and, avoiding the
sensational methods and questionable
language of so'many evangel'sts,
[if he "went aboutjdoing good." Mr.
Moody has built for himself a monT:
ument in the hearts of men more
enduring than brass or marble, for
he labored solely for the good of
others. Mr. Moody was not an ora
tor, but his plain, earnest manner

the minds of men.
We have 110 opinion as to what
policy Got. McSweeney will recommend
in his annual message relative
?; *0 the dispensary, and, to be per
fectly candid, we don't much care.
The governor can go his own way,
unhampered by any advice from us.
We only want to utter a word of
warning. Don't try to ride two
horses, governor. Let your opinion
be what it may we don't care. But
I let your utterances on this subject
be clear cut, concise, and so plain
that there can be no possible doubt
as to your position. If you are
goiug to be a candidate next year,
temporizing won't do. And silence
won't do any good, while on the
T ;ther hand it may do you infinite
harm.
Bamberg can learn a valuable lesson
from the Florence fire if it will.
For months Mr. Hartwell M. Aver,
editor of the Florence Times, had
been agitating the subject of water
works, but his readers were indifferent,
Then came the fire, destroying
$150,000 worth of property, which
could have been prevented had there
S been a sufficient water supply. Now
? the town is going to have an up-todate
system of waterworks, but
enougii property was uesnu^ru iu
|g,. the recent fire to have built a system
complete. We hope that our peoE?
pie will take warning in time. After
| * a destructive fire has laid the business
portion of the town in ashes,
some of our citizens will suddenly
get converted to the waterworks
pfej- idea, forgetting to grumble about
taxes, but why why not build now ?
* Don t let it be a case of locking the
stable alter the horse is gone.
* *
The Port .Royal dry dock is in
I Deed of repairs, and the News ami
Courier wants to have it moved tc
Charleston, and with this end in
view, no doubt, a candidate for. Congress
from that city has developed
in the person of Mr. Jos. W. Barnwell,
who has announced his intention
of opposing Col. Wm. Elliott
in the next campaign. Mr. Barnwell
'S now State Senator from
Charleston county, and if he will
take our advice he will hold on t.o
* his present job, for we think he will
be beaten. The wish is 110 doubt
father to the thought, for we can
see no valid reason for displacing
the present member. Col. Elliott
has been lighting Republican majorities
ever since we've known anything
about him, anil it seems rather
ungrateful to displace him just as
he is settled firmly into his congressional
seat. Then, too, he is a valuable
working member?is always
working for appropriations?and
that's the kind of man to tie to.

Columbia is to have a magnificent
new union depot, to be built by the
Atlantic Coast Line and the Southern
Railway, The city has certainly
needed a new depot for a long time,
and we rejoice that the railroads
have finally taken cognizance of
Columbia's rapid growth and the
| improvements they must make to
keep up with the procession.
*
* *
We have no idea that, any effort
will be made for fire protection for
* nt 1. j.1
cms town, aunougu nitre is ausulutely
nothing?not even a bucket
company?here now. Things will
go on just as they are, insurance
rates will get higher, and in the
course of time we'll have a big fire.
Well, we reckon we can stand it if
the others can. still we had rather
pay money in the shape of taxes for
waterworks than to the insurance
companies for protection.
*

Bamberg county is well served
from the standpoint of county officers,
and we warrant that no county
in the State has a more polite, efficient,
accommodating and economical
set of officials than we have.
The recent annual settlement with
the Comptroller General shows how
well the offices of Treasurer and
Auditor are kept, and the samt
painstaking care is true of all tinother
officials. The condition oi
their offices proves their efficiency?
the small tax levy shows their economy.

It seems pass.ng strange to ns
that some South Carolina newspapers
should be so strongly opposed
to the English policy in South Africa
and our own war in?the Philli
pines. Civilization and religion:
liberty go hand in hand, and <4th<
best missionary," as the sainted Dr
Furman is credited with saying, 4<i:
the flash of the cannon." Chris
tianity and moral advancement eve]
follow in the wake of armies, am
oftentimes the bayonet prepares tlx
way for the Bible. Many of us
no doubt, will live to see the grea
and lasting benefits that will ucr-i'ix
to the people against whom war ii
now being so ruthlessly waged.
* *

We regret to say so, but our store:
should keep better stocks of goods
Lots of people buy dry goods anc
clothing elsewhere for the simplt
reason that they cannot get what
they want at home. It may be thai
the merchants will say they earn
goods to suit their trade, and mosl
of their customers may be suited
But some people want the best, anc
are going to have it, consequently tlx
trade is lost to the town. We be<
lieve that it would be a paying venture
for some merchant to keep i
higher grade of goods, for peoph
who now buy cheap articles coulc
be educated into buying the best,
for the best is alwavs the cheapesl
in the end.

The Parrot boys have decided tx
move their paper from Clinton t<
Laurens, and the next issue will b<
the Laurens News. This move h
only the logical outcome of the wai
in which they were treated in Clin
ton. We remarked a short timeag<
that they were getting out a gooi
paper, but were not receiving tin
advertising patronage from the merchants
of Clinton that they merited,
Now the town loses a good newspapej
and two good citizens, but the busi
ness men have only themselves t<
blame. A newspaper can't live with
out patronage, however much sonn
people may believe so. We hopeanc
believe the Parrots will do well al

- Georgia's legislature has passed a

separate sleeping cars for white
people, and a committee of leading
negroes have petitioned Gov. Candl

Money Forced Upon Him.
"There is a young man up in
Chicago who now has a good busi- tc
less and bright prospects, who se- fi
;ured his start in life by getting w
'our dollars that did not belong to d
lim," said a local hotel physician, lc
according to the Chicago News..
"I hardly know how to class the fi
incident of obtaining the money. I $
will let the story explain the young t(
man's actions." o
"He arrived in Chicago one day I
without funds but with plenty nerve C
and push. He wanted money to se- t<
cure a meal and his room rent until n
he could get a position. Believing w
he could find some man who would t<
help him if he told his story in a d
straightforward manner, he entered li
a cigar establishment on Dearborn
street. He was about to explain his V
condition and ask for assistance 1
until he could get a position, when ti
the proprietor looked up with a ^
fierce scowl. He turned to his part- (
ner and they held a conversation p
for a few minutes in a whisper. t:
"'Now take this four dollars and
don't bother Die about that bili
again. This is all that you will get w
and you can get out of this place in [,
a hurry,1 exclaimed the storekeeper. e
"The young man was pushed to 1
toward the door with the moiny in a
his hand, and try as he would the ^
storekeeper would not let him say a <>
word. Once in the street the be- j'
wildered fellow considered the mat- 1
ter in everv detail and decided to ..
W m
keep the money. This he did and a 'i
month or so later he again walked d
into the cigai store and told bis J
story aud returned the money."

One Letter Wrought the Havoc. ,
A certain bachelor editor of a '
northern Iowa town is in a predica- 1
ment, so an exchange avers, as the <
result of a careless proofreader. J
Having occasion to apologise to his i
readers for a delay in issuing his 1
paper, he wrote: "We beg the in- 1
dulgenee of our readers for being a !
day late this week. Our failure to <
gel ont on time was on account of 1
the physical demoralization of the ]
editor, caused by sleeping too close 1
to the boarding house window."

word "widow," and the proofreader
failed to discover the omissission of J
the "n." 1

hardened; 1 was so weak I *
could not even sit up in bed. .Nothing
helped me; I expected soon to
die of consumption, when I heard
of Dr. King's New Discovery. One

to use it, and now am well

Sam Small Owes Money.
Washington, Dec. 18.?The Rev.
Sam Small, well kuown as an evangelist,
who was a chaplain in the
volunteer service, is the subject of
numerous charges filed at the war
department. The allegations relate
to the alleged failure of that clergyman
to discharge indebtedness incurred
by him.
One charge made against Chaplain
Small involves alleged carelessness
in the handling of company funds
to the extent of about $600. Another
incident is furnished by Bishop
McC'abe, who alleges that he
loaned $250 to Chaplain Small* who
has been recommended for an army
chaplaincy by the bishop. The
latter sought to collect the loan
from the war department, but without
success. A piano firm also lodged
a complaint, but >?e Small is
mustered out, the government could
do nothing.
