Some merchants, sit on their counters
and growl by the yard about their town
, having tfuch poor newspapers. A little

A few days ago representatives of the
Seaboard Air Line appealed before the
, city council of Augusta and asked for
further time in which to begin the work
of construction on the proposed line
from Augusta to Charleston. The time
which was granted them last year expired
last Saturday, and the council refused
to give an extension. Therefore
j- an engineering corps went to work, so
! as to save the franchise. Maybe the
f road will now lie built.

' C. A. P. Writes About Whiskey.
Editor The Bamuerc Herald:?In
your last week's paper was an article
from Clod Hopper on whiskey and pistols
and the ones that drink it. Now I
want to ask Mr. Clod Hopper a few questions.
I wish to ask if our friend never
took a drink of whiskey. He don't leave
no gap to get out; he puts in every man
that takes one drink, just one little
drink. Now I know that whiskey is indirectly
responsible for many crimes
committed in our fair land, but I cannot
agree with Clod Hopper when he says
that every man that takes a drink is on
the road to destruction, or that whiskey
is responsible for all the crime that is
committed. Now I want to call your attention
to one instance. Here at Howell's
old mill a few days ago three men
seemed to be very hungry after fish; came
down there and asked the miller about
l.A nnlifolir tllOm tllflt. lip ll'lll lift
LldlJ, UC pVllVViJ VMVM. V..V.V ..V
fish, but they insisted that he must get
them some fish, and again the old darkertold
them that it was impossible to get
them any fish. "With this denial to furnish
them fish they all three went to
beating the helpless old darkey and beat ,
him unmercifully. Not being satisfied
with beating him with their fists they
took their pistols and beat their victim,
knocking out four or five of his teeth. ,
Now, Mr. Editor and Mr. Clod Hopper, ,
these men were sober; they had no whis- ,
key, and yet they would have overpow- (
ered and taken the life of an inoffensive (
ind harmless old darker-. We have this ,
much to say, however, that we hope the
way of the transgressor in this case will
be hard. C. A. P.

progress of the South, the North and
possibly parts of the world. Therefore,
every hoy and girl should begin to plan
and save up money that they may be
doubly sure of enjoying the pleasure
and profit of this trip. The World's
Fair was a season of awakening to the
American people. It was the next best
thing to a trip abroad, for it brought
something representative of every country
on the globe together in one place.

of them. Every nation of the globe, in one
sense of the term, was transported to V
our land,and the crude ideas of our vivid ^
imaginations hurst forth at once into a
deep reality. What we expected to see
is not a comparative thought to what we
did see. A visitor to the World's Fair
realized what a means of education it
was to him. The Charleston Exposition
will not he a World's Fair, but it will he
a revelation to the masses of people as y
well as to the thousands of school children
throughout the State. No doubt
the daily papers will herald to the people
the many things to he seen there, but the
human mind cannot picture all that centuries
have been slowly accumulating
and perfecting with any more degree of
accuracy than the reality of a foreign
city is described through the medium of
a book. What imagination can conceive
the grandeur of the ocean and its tides -<
and Charleston, with its numerous historical
associations, without having seen
them? Even when the eye is resting up- ~
on the beauties of nature, the mind is incapable
of grasping the smallest part of

hour brings thousands of changes and
beauty is something new during every
moment of the time. Books of description
tell us that there are mountain peaks
whose lofty summits are always crowned
with dazzling snow, which constantly
change: is white and golden, purple and
rose-colored, all in an hour. We are
told this, but soon forget it, but suppose
we should verify this by seeing for ourselves,
then it is just as fixed in memory
as though it were a part of us. The tfermun
children have been taught by travel
for more than a century. The day is not
far distant when American children will
lie able to visit every battle field and
every spot of historical interest. It will
be a method of study.
Charleston has a history, with which
but few people are familiar. This occasion
can be made the nucleus of a future
study of the South and its resources, to
say nothing of the revelations that would
dawn upon visiting school children. I
don't think I would be far from right to
say, that one week at the Charleston Exposition
would be worth to the average
hoy six months' training in the school
room. I am sure Bamberg county will
be well represented 011 the grounds from
time to time by her citizens, families and
exhibits.
The Methodist church will soon be
ready for regular services. The renovation
and changes made have gone far
towards making the building quite |
modern, comfortable and attractive. Some ^
of the members are hard to please, placing
their ideas of architecture in contrast with
that of the remodeled building, but all in
all the church is up with the town, good
enough for all of the people, and will
serve the purpose most- proficiently,
especially so, since it is predicted
that in ten years the Methodist church
will crown one of the hills of West End.
Nothing more appropriate can be said
just now than a universal expression of
thanks to the untiring chairman of the
building committee, Capt. J. B. Guess, and
secondarily, a prompt remittance of every
dollar subscribed. The ladies have taken
up the furniture question and ere long
the interior material furniture which now
insures comfort will receive the supplementary
touches of relief .and beauty of
adornment. The new pews arc up-todate,
the library room is a great convenience,
the pulpit with chancel is
unique, and the general appearance of the
building, inside and outside, has been improved
a thousand per cent, under the i
touch of the painter's brush. A new _
Church is not all that is needed in the
little town. A new faith and a fresh supply
of grace would enhance the value of
souls very much. Brothers Stokes and
Ayres have a great Held of labor. What
will the harvest be ? ^
The present town officials have established
quite a precedent in the matter of
expenditures of the town funds. Streets
are in excellent condition and new highways
have been opened, all of which stand
as an object lesson to our citizens and
ought to teach all of its voting people H
that the essential element of town
progress is the progressive men placed /
at the head of its affairs. V
The chain gang is expected in a few .
days, and after the town has received on f
its thoroughfares the result of one
hundred and twenty-five borrowed days,
roads within the corporate limits will
bear a very critical inspection.
Rev. Mr. Ayres has moved into the
former residence occupied by Capt. J. E.
Steadman. Mr. Ayres continues to enjoy
the unbounded hospitality, of the entire
community. His congregations ore always
large and his sermons continue to
appeal to every listener. He is a man of
purpose, a worthy leader of a most grate- ful
people, who pay to him an unceasing 1
homage of prayer and occasionally a good I
"pounding," (without the bad effects).
Miss Roseboro, of Augusta, Ga., is visiting
friends in this town. J.
A dutcliman was asked why he had
employed a certain member of the bar to
defend him, who was noted for his high
C. voice and loud speaking. Dutchy replied:
"Ach, dot's der kind of lawyer to
haf, yet."
Why? he was asked. The reply was,
"Because he holler so loud veil lie i
schpeak lie scare dot jury. ^
A Kansas editor apologizes for saying
a bride appeared in her "shirt sleeves."
"We wrote 'short sleeves,'" says the
editor, "as plain as we know how."
