The water works idea is being can- j * vassed by many of our people, and we , are glad "to say t hat many of our largest ' taxpayers are in favor of the scheme. The oil mill is running day and night, on full time, and yet its product is being moved as fast as it can be made. This j enterprise is certainly a great thing for Bamberg.

You can see what you are baying, and will save money in 1 1\? tuc cuu. Supervisor E. C. Bruce spent several days in Columbia last week on business for the county. He visited the Richland county chain gang: while away, iu order to see how they work the public roads up there. With fifteen convicts from the State and the county chain gang, Supervisor Bruce will be able to do a great deal of work on the roads, as he proposes to devote his whole time and attention to the dixies of the office. Bamberg's tax levy for this year has been tixed at three mills for county pur- ' po$es, and the special levy of two mills for roads in the Denmark school district remains in force. Then we have the constitutional school tax of three mills. Let ever}' man in town who favors water works talk the subject to those who are not posted. Agitation is the best thing for the project," for it can be shown to the taxpayer where he will save money if a water works system is established. Mrs. M. L.

He wants the town to buy a hose reel and several hundred feet of hose to be used in connection with the water works of the cotton mill. Steam is kept up there day and night and their pump would throw a good stream some distance away from the mill. Mr. Inglis brought the matter to the attention of city council at the last meeting, and he was instructed to ascertain the cost of hose and reel and report to council, which he will do at the next meeting.

The census bulletin issued by the gov^ eminent gives us the following population: Bamberg town, 1,533; Denmark, 7*24. Bamberg township has a population of 0,945, including these two towns. Govan has 113; Olar, 190; Midway, 138; and Ehrhardt, 215. Tbvse figures may bo correct, but there are many of us who think there are more people in the towns named above than the census gives. The census of 1890 gave us a population of >90, so even the figures given now show a wonderful increase. County Appoint men Is.

He confessed the I crime, and is now in jail awaiting court, ! when he will answer to the charge of ' burglary and larceny. It has been often said that a negro is a queer specimen, and this fellow's action j proves it. He was entrusted with the key of the barn where the corn for the j mule belonging to the town was kept, j and could have pilfered corn from there with little risk of detection. Instead he I preferred to steal elsewhere. Elirliardt Etchings. Eiikiiaudt, Feb. 11.?Messrs. J. C. Kinard, J. A. Chassereau, B. F. Brown, 1? ami .1. I).

"Let good enough alone," is e retort of the East End dissenters. In wn elections, the same spirit prevails 11 id ere long these diverging principles $ ill become permanent barriers to all U cial and temporal progress. The local j1( sues which are now in order and subct to debate are demanding the very U1 rious consideration of the leading citi- w lis. A stride in progress must be made. a| lall it be established in the old or the ;w town? The old town offers a most autiful site for a very modern church, ^ nple room also for a magnificent school a lilding. Hut it is detrimental to the .u alth of the general public to walk a J ousand yards to church and far beyond e capacity of the average school bov or ?' rl to walk two and a half or three miles f? school. The modern idea is to have e church in the business centre of town id the school house so located that the und of its cheap tower bell can be dis- st ictly heard by all.
