Thursday, December 20, 1960* A Visitor's Opinion. Dear Herald : "In after days, the poet's lays, shall swell the praise of? Bamberg. Since enjoying a sojourn of some days in your pretty to.wn, 1 bring my tribute of praise?a simple panegyric. Unlike the "bilious yankee" who received the hospitality of your peoplb and gave in gratitude (?) a harsh criticism, 1 could hot be true to my conscience and not admire your city's environments, natural and artificial. Pity, rather than censure the offender, and in the largeness of your hearts, be Christlike and say he knows not what he does! Bamberg?our baby sister can teach her "grown up sisters" "a great many lessons, first her motto "upward and .onward"?then the importance of good schools, commodious buildings and last, but far from being least, a library. I was so sorry duties called me away before I could visit the schools?I guess every body has a hobby and many fide them to death, mine is not quite uciiu?111^ uuiiit v\ icu an ltd attributes, is with the education of the young. Not "stuffing" to pass creditable commencements and public examinations, but the laying of a sure foundation for a practical, far-reaching education. So often I go into homes and my eye falls on an imposing frame encasing a diploma whose pwner if asked, could not tell what gases are breathed and what ones drank! No wonder a reflective writer of sixty years ago said we should be tumbled into" a"closet of good old English reading. But, I will give my hobby a short ride this time, as I have other items to note. Unless a very fastidious class of comerciai salesmen visit your town, I think your hotels should be.beau ideal places of rest for them, if outward appearances go for anything. Allow me to say I had one bad impression made on my mind?too many doctors live there, seem to me every third house was the home of a doctor! Very naturally I thought, if all those medical men could have line homes and "turn outs" there must be a great deal of sicknpss! I found some "gold bugs" among your people. I am studying harder than ever on this political issue, for I expect to visit Bamberg again, and will perhaps meet those anti-silver folks. Miilen, Ga. M. O. Lanier. The Best Plaster. A piece of flannel dampened with Chamberlain's Pain Balm and bound to the affected parts is superior to any plaster. When troubled with lame \jack or pains in the side or chest, give it a trial and you are certain to be more than pleased with the prompt relief which it affords. Pain Balm also cures rheumatism. One application gives relief. For sale by Bamberg .Pharmacy. Street Fair and Carnival. The Southern Carnival, backed by the J i. _ it J ?.... i. _ / ai n / .1 muusirau uepanment 01 me oeaooaru Air Line, is giving a series of entertainments along the line of the Seaboard Air , . Line Railway for the purpose of booming the towns along the road and getting into touch with the people of the country through which the line runs.

In fact the fair and carnival is designed to be on the order of an agricultural fair, showing many interesting products of various kinds, with the accompanying shows and amusements, the idea being to advertise the resources of the South. Premiums will be offered for exhibits, and if any of our people have anything in the way of live stock (horses, "cattle, etc.) farm and garden products, canned fruits, preserves and pickles, ladies work, . curiosities, or any article that they would like to put on exhibition, let them carry it along. All articles will be put in charge of the proper committees and safely cared for. Premiums will be offered for various exhibits.

This foil is from the reorganization of the company in the spring of 1802. We have not been able to procure a roll of the company prior to that time. The Guards volunteered at the beginning of the war, and were reorganized in 1862. This roll is necessarily incomplete, and is published with the hope and desire that it will be corrected and revised by those who are in a position to know some part of the history of the company at least. It is well-nigh impossible for one man to complete a roll of the company at this day. Co. A. 1st S. C. V., as they were reorganized 1862, in the spring: Captain?I. S.

Ochiltree, the racing enthusiast and raconteur, says lie is wearied by the number of bad stories laid to his door, says the New York "World. But the colonel, nevertheless, is continually saying something worthy of being quoted* as the latest attributed to htm wiil j show. He and a friend were sitting in ! the Waldorf when the friend, who had I been reading of Croker's arrival in EngI land and Tod Sloane's here, said : "Croker and Sloane declare they will I give no interviews. There's no difference i between them." "Oh, yes, there is," corrected the colonel. j "What is it?" "One is denounced by the prints; and the other is renounced by the prince." No one can reasonably hope for good health unless his Imwels move once each day. When this is not attended to, disorders of the stomach arise, biliousness,, headache, dyspepsia, and piles soon follow. If you wish to avoid these ailments keep your bowels regular by taking Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets when required. They are so easy to take and mild and gentle in effect.

As ( yet no clue to who did the robbery has 1 been ascertained, but Mrs. Kent is satis- I tied that they were negroes and several j j in the party. 1 Last Thursday evening the depot agent t [ at Lodge telephoned Ehrhardt that there < | was a negro tramp and a very suspicious t looking character about to board a train < [ for Charleston. Thinking possibly he 1 j was one of the parties implicated in the ( Kent robbery Capt. J. M. Dannelly, K. F. i Brown, and W. I*.

' He was asked by the court to show his 1 license for, the practice of medicine, i which he failed to do, again asked to 1 show proof of being employed by the 1 j railroad companies, again lie failed.

In an interview Hcrr von KardolT says that this depression was due to the gigantic growth of American industry, particularly the iron industry, and not to the Chinese situation, as claimed by the Socialist Deputy, Her Bebel. Speaking of the American occupation of the Philippines, the Deputy said that he considered this step was a great mistake. for the natives could never be assimilated or Americanized. "Some years ago the islands were offered to Germany.*', continued Her von Kardoff, "and for the sanieweasons I opposed their acquisition."

Kitchener Made Her Tremblei During the Anglo-Boer war a smart, good looking married woman of about 30 years of age acted as a Boer spy. She was married to a Russian civil engineer resident at Johannesburg, and at the outbreak of war the "slim" Transvaalers sent her over the border labeled "dangerous." She established herself at Cape Town and soon managed to extract information from impressionable English officers. A corre ?u />. trnmon bpUIIUl'Ul \V liU UlCl L11 id iu *ci n viiiuu In Cape Town said: "When Lord Kitchener of Khartum arrived in Africa, she went to meet him, for she knew that if she could got Inside his secrets she could learn all things. She made it her business to come casually in contact witlj the Egyptian sphinx. She ran her eyes over the tall, gaunt figure, the rugged, ugly face. She looked into the prominent, all seeing eyes and knew at a glance that she was face to face with a magnetism stronger than her own, and nothing would induce her to go near him again. 'That is the most dangerous man in Britain,' she said. *1 feel as if I were within the shadow of death when I am near him. He is a man for men to conquer. No woman can reach him to use him. He would read me like an open book in an hour, and I believe he would shoot me as lie would shoot a Kaffir if he caught me red handed. I will try all other men, but not that living death's head. No wonder he conquered in Egypt. 1 think he would conquer in hades.'" Wide Troniern, Nnrro-w Streets. La Lucha of Havana in a long editorial "giving fits" to American visitors to Cuba generally comes out strong in defense of Cuban trousers and of the narrow streets of the Cuban capital. It says: "One frequently hears Americans ridicule what they call 'Cuban trousers,' thereby betraying their own crass Ignorance. For instance, one of the coolest materials for men to wear is alpaca. To make close fitting trousers of It or of any other thin material would prove disastrous; consequently In all tropical countries the loose trousers are worn, and persons who visit Mexico, Central and South America or India grow rapiuiy accusiomeu iu them. Furthermore, the shape affected here so much is the height of fashion In France. "Again, the statement is frequently made that the streets of Havana should be 'widened and made modern.' Cross Ignorance is again displayed. All tropical cities are built with uarrow streets, as that Is the only way in which pedestrians can be given shade during part of the day. By stepping out on to the Frado at 2 p. m. from Obispo or Obrapia the difference in temperature on wide and narrow streets may be noted." The Pie Fonnilry. A man who recently visited a pie factory in Chicago thus describes it: "The day we were there a special run was being made on pumpkin pies, and 1 looked in vain for any signs of pumpkin rinds. One of the foremen grinned and told me in strict confidence that real pumpkin was never used in pumpkin pies at present except possibly in a few remote and very primitive New England villages. The substitute was a mixture of sweet potatoes, apples and cheap flour flavored with a chemical extract. I tasted some of the stuff aud was satisfled he was Cellii^g me the truth. "Cranberry pie contains only enough cranberries to 'make a showing,' after the manner of the oyster In the church fair stew. The rest Is apple jelly colored red and flavored. I have forgotten the other substitutes employed, but these will give you a general idea of the morality of the business. "The average output of the foundry was one a second, or about 30.000 pies for a working day. The manager told me they were shipped all over the pie belt in specially prepared crates." German Lnvr of Libel. The German law of libel Is a curiosity. An editor recently said in bis paper that a certain gentleman "was an unmannerly boor," In consequence of which a libel action was brought against the paper. The evidence given seemed to show that the only fault with the expression was that it was npt strong enough. The case was taken from court to court in the usual way until it reached the highest tribunal. The final decision was that the editor would have been perfectly justified If he had said that the plaintiff "had acted like an unmannerly boor." but since he had said that the plaintiff actually "was an unmannerly boor" he had committed libel. In Germany it is libelous to call a man a pig or an ass. but If you combine the two and call a man a pig ass then there is no libel, because such an animal does not exist. The favorite combination among Germans Is. we believe, pig dog?schweinehund.?Chambers' Journal. A Woman's Awful lVril.

Among the lens of thousands who have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for c olds and la grippe during the past few years, to our knowledge, not a single case has resulted in pneumonia. Thos.
