The town of Dillon is considering the matter of establishing waterworks, and the estimate given for a complete waterworks plant in that town is about $18,000. Certainly a system of waterworks for Bamberg should not cost over $10,000 or $20,000, and it would be money well and wisely invested. It is a very significant circumstance that just after the senate last Friday tinally adopted the bill repealing the law forbidding the use of free passes by publie officials, the house killed a bill affecting suits against railroad corporations. Mind you, this bill had already passed two readings in the house, and was killed on the final reading! We say the action of the house was significant,and we mean it. Senator Tillman has sent us the fourteenth annual report of the commissioner of labor of the United States, which re lates to the cost 01 waterworks, gas, and electric light plants owned by municipalities. This will be of valuable assistance to us just at this time, as we aie discussing the matter of waterworks for our city. The book gives the actual cost in figures, and is no doubt trustworthy, as the statistics were compiled from actual inspection of many different plants all over the country. The record of the legislature which adjourned last Saturday is distinctly dis appointing. While it is true that the body devoted itself largely to bill-killing, some good ones met their death along with the bad. For our part, we are not surprised. While some newspapers expected great things of the new general assembly, we were of the opinion that no more, if as much, could be expected as from its predecessors. This was the first legislature since 1890 which was composed of any appreciable number of former Conservatives, and the record is that they make no better legislators than Reformers,"if as good. The resolution condemning Senator "j'. McLaurin failed to be adopted by the , legislature, the vote standing 58 to 44. Messrs. Crurn and Bostick, from this county, voteu to Kill tne resolution, anu their action was eminently proper. Members of the legislature have nothing to do with Senator McLaurin's votes in congress, except as private citizens. The general assembly was certainly not the place for any such resolution. If McLaurin is wrong, he can answer to the people when the proper time comes. We do not know what spirit prompted the resolution, but it looks like an attempt to discredit the junior senator for the benefit of some prospective candidate. Governor McSweeney has a fine opportunity to show himself a governor of nerve and convictions if he will use it. He should veto the bill repealing the anti free pass law. He may not think so, but, our word for it, he will make friends among the masses of the people by such a course. Certain it is that no person having charge of legislation which affects railroads should be indebted to those roads for courtesies. It is also certain that railroad officials do not work for sentiment. They are out for the "stuff," and if it did not pay to give free passes to law-makers they would not do it. The law has proven to be a good thing. Let's keep it on the statute books. The State newspaper celebrated its tenth birthday last Monday, it being issued for the first time on the 18th day of February, 1891. In Sunday's issue, in a three column editorial, some of its history was reviewed, and the article is an interesting one. To those who have labored so faithfully to sustain the paper we extend congratulations. They have succeeded in the face of obstacles which seemed almost insurmountable and have certainly deserved to "win out." The State is a monument to the faithful work ? of the Gonzales brothers, who have hung on w ith bull dog tenacity when it seemed that only failure could result, and we firmly believe that there has not been, nor will be, such another instance of devotion and sacrifice in the newspaper history of South Carolina. The writer has not always agreed with The State and its methods, but we have believed it was doing what it thought was best for all the people, and had full confidence in its honesty of intention. This article is not written in any spirit of fulsome flattery. We only want to express our appreciation of magnificent work and sacrifice on the part of men, who, placing principle before policy, have forced success where only failure looked certain and inevitable. Fire in Blaekville. Blackvtli.e, Feb. ltf.?Fire totally consumed the handsome new dwelling house owned and occupied by Mr. C. J. Martin on Lartigue street this morning at 1 o'clock. The origin of the fire is unknown, the flames having almost covered the building before the fire was discovered or the alarm given. The fire department, consisting of two ! ; 1 l 1. 1 cnenncai engines ami a uuok ami imiucr company responded promptly to the alarm bnl, owing to the rapid progress of the nre, they could do nothing. Mr. Martin and his family barely escaped with their lives, and saved nothing of the contents except two trunks and a rocking chair. The building was a new one. had been occupied by Mr. Martin about one month, and was worth about Insurance on building is $2,000.00 and on furniture, household and kitchen $">00.00.

The house resolution censuring Senator McLaurin came up last Wednesday, v and the members refused to adopt it. by N a vote of 58 to 44. ^ In speaking of the work of the legislature, the Columbia State says: "Nothing 1 is more marked about this legislature * than its disposition to improve the public roads of the State. Whatever mav be its ; f deficiency in other respects it has ccrtainly done good work on this line, passing more helpful bills on the subject than have been passed before in the en- r tire legislative history of the State. It has taken a long time to arouse interest 1 in good roads, but the people have learn ed their value at last, and we are satisfied that the broad tire bill is a certainty of the near future." This is more evidence 1 that the good roads idea is gaining in favor with the people. A bill providing that the State may ' establish an electric light plant in Columbia for the purpose of lighting all the ' public buildings in that city, has passed. The appropriation for pensions lias finally been fixed at $150,000. The senate killed the resolution providing for a commission to investigate labor conditions at cotton mills. The senate passed a resolution endorsing U. S. Senator B. R. Tillman. It was j introduced by Senator Robert Aldrich, . of Barnwell. The anti free pass law has been re- , pealed at last. The senate, after refusing to favor the same a week or so ago, dur- 1 ing the last hours of the session, repealed the.law. The vote on the third reading > was a tie, and Lieutenant Coventor Tillman cast the deciding vote in favor of 1 | repealing the law. i The railroad charter bill was killed. ; This was a bill to domesticate railroad j corporations, so they could have suits brought against them in the State courts. 1 There was another movement made by t the house to condemn Senator McLauriii, j by tacking the resolution oil to one commending Senator Tillman. The speaker ( ruled, however, that they could be con- * sidered separately, so the resolution com- < mending Senator Tillman was promptly , adopted. The condemnatory resolution of Senator McLaurin was rejected. $100 Reward $100. ?

I Strong Plea for Rood Sidewalks, ^ Waterworks, and Electric Eights. , Ewrot: Tiik Bvmkkko IIkkai.d:?1 visit to commend with all my heart your j vorthy efforts for the several needed im>rovements in our town. ; It is almost impossible for men, to say 1 tothing of the ladies, to get along our ireets on a rainy, sloppy day. It is a | hame we do not provide better sitlevalks for the ladies of our town as well or the business interests of Bamberg". ' t is unpleasant not to say a menace to iavr to walk down street after a day's ] ain. I do not see how any one could 1 bjcctto being taxed a little, if necessary, 11 order to provide clean, hard sidewalks, j f they could be once provided we would ; lot be without them for anything. And ' his improvement to our streets should J lot be confined to Main street. When ] he work is begun and every preparation ias been made for the work the cost to < >ut all our most frequented walks in ' inc condition would not be so very ex- ; icnsive. Our sister town, Orangeburg, with her ispirations for city style has put all of 1 icr sidewalks in first-class condition. There is no stopping on the streets there ; low; but shoppers can pass along her dreets during the worst of weather dry ihod. Our self-respect is at stake; our rood name must be upheld. We have riends who come to see us and what if t is a rainy day when they come? They vould not think we live in a fairy land, )Ut would rather suppose, I presume, hat we lived near a mud palace. ' Then again what a need for waterworks! We have a fountain of pure rystaline water, flowing thousands of gallons per day, but all going to waste ilong our mud-bearing ditches. The >irds may stop and quench their thirst md bathe their pinions in the pure lood, but no provision for supplying our weople with an abundance for bath and Irink. We are as bad as the ancient Peruvians who made their hearth stones )f rich silver ore. Abundance of wealth it hand but don't know its value. What i blessing it would prove to our people f every home could be supplied with an ibundance of this pure water, and we muld then fix up a bath room where this supply of water could partly lie used. The difference would be marvelous. Our >ld men would rejuvenate in a few nonths and our young men would wear smiling faces because of the bounding lealth induced by better conditions. Well, lastly, do we need electric lights? ' Did you ever go down street on a dark light? Did you ever feel the blinding | 'ffect of the little speck of a light in the listauce? Then you know we need, yea ! sadly need, this improvement. We believe the interests of Bamberg lemaud these improvements. Our growth , las been phenomenal during the past lecade, about one hundred and five per 1 ent. We must not only hold this, but j ve must make conditions here such that >thers will be induced to come; we want 1 nany of these "others" to be the best j >eople of our country who come to take id vantage of our educational, social, ; eligious and industrial conditions. Our < own has made progress, but we should ' ?ot be satilied until we stand fully , ibreast of the times. Respectfully, W. E. Willis. ] < Pneumonia can he Cured.

He was on a visit to Savannah, and while there stepped into an nyster vender to take a lunch. The following is what the writer says of Ned on :his occasion. We (Ned and a Mr. Hall, his companion, who was really the luthorof the book) had not been seated ;hree minutes when we heard: "Ah a Monsieur Middletong, you say you hair :he bes' ovstar in la cittee, vel, me shall soon see."

Yesterday the condemned man requested the shcrifT to supply him with a good, substantial breakfast this morning, and his request was accordingly granted lie apparently Treatly relished his last meal. Long before the liour appointed for the execution negroes began congregating about the jail and by 11 o'clock there were probably ><>') people, including many women, outside the tall board fence which surrounds the jail yard, all eager to learn what wasgoingon within. Shortly after Kl o'clock several of the leading colored ministers of Beaufort were admitted to the j:? 1L am! remained with the condemned man until a quarter to 12 o'clock, when the march to the scaffold began. When the foot of the scaffold steps was reached a few moments were given up te singing a hymn, in which Thomas joined lustily. A brief prayer by one of the ministers followed, at the conclusion ol which they took their leave. At 11 minutes to 12 o'clock Thomas, accompanied by the sheriff and his deputy and unassisted bv them, mounted the scaffold without a sign of fear and at T minutes to 12 the trap was sprung. The negro's neck was broken by the fall and after hanging 11 minutes he was pronounced dead by several physicians and was cut down. It was thought the negro would make a confession before he died, but he contented himself with the brief statement that a jury had found him guiltv and he had nothing further to say. Mr. C. II. Douberlcy of Savannah, (la. the husband of the young woman, whom Thomas outraged, was present at tlu execution and afterwards expressed his satisfaction at seeing justice finally administered to the negro.

"Mr. Roosevelt sprang to the rescue of the dog which the savage animal seemed about to get the best of, and slit quickly let loose of the dog and sprang at the arm of the hunter. lie held his gun in his left hand,and, quick as lightning, thrust the stock into the wide open jaws while he found her heart with his hunting-knife. The stock of the gun was partly chewed and broken off, and he can keep it as a memento of the closest call he ever had. "1 would not think of taking such chances as he did," added the warden reflectively, "and he ought to feel lucky that he did not lose the side of his face. "Of bobcats, wildcats and other game the Roosevelt record is far ahead of that for lions, and Coyote Basin is devastated of wild game. Settlers have reported the depredations of lions on domestic animals at ranches along White river, and Guide Got!' thinks he has seven lions more located which will fall under the gun or knife of the vice-president-elect.

Snioak, of Bamberg, being exhibited on the streets of Bamberg, and hearing of the good feed to be had at Johnson's hotel, broke away from his owners, made for the hotel entrance, traversed the entrance hall, passed through three doors, and arriving at the breakfast room too late for breakfast,' the door being closed, he turned to the left, passed through another lifty feet of hall, down a flight of several steps, and not wishing to trouble the cook or porter after hours, concluded to do the next best thing?take a breakfast of rve. Ere, however, he could get more than a bite, lie was captured by his owners and taken may. Host Johnson says so disciiininuting, sensible, and enterprising a mule is deserving of very considerate treatment, therefore there was no bill for his bite, but Mine Host failed to ask him to ;-all again. So if a body meet a mule coming through the jye. Nobody need ask that mule the reason why. The mule was hungry, was the reason w by lie was coiniii' through the rye.
