Lots of our subscribers have paid up
recently, but most of those who have
paid were not far behind and did not owe
much. Some are considerably in arrears
and have not paid anything. Some of
these have had their paper stopped, and
others will be treated the same way. We
want to be reasonable with every one,
but we cannot afford to send the paper
for three or four years without pay, and
we are not going to do it. To publish a
paper at the low price of one dollar successfully,
all subscriptions should be paid
in advance.
Fire Near Eliriiardt.
The residence of Mr. A. C. Carter was
destroyed by fire last Sunday night.
None of the furniture except an organ
was saved, the house, kitchen, and entire
contents being completely destroyed.
The house hadbeen painted only a few
days ago. We understand the loss is covered
by insurance, or partly so. Mr.
Carter was in Charleston at the time, and
his son was the only occupant of the
dwelling that night, and he had a narrow
escape from the flames.
Bamberg is getting to be quite a market

Letter to Mrs. T. Black,
Bamberg, S. C.
Dear Madam:?This is an appeal to
common sense. We know we do not appeal
to you in vain. Look beyond the
first cost when buying a paint. Once the
needful oil is added to L. & M. paint you
- i ?1 nAot lint vrmr

house will stay well painted longer than
you wish. You will get so tired of seeing
the same colors year after year that
you will buy some other shade of L. &
M. just for variety's sake. Our statements
are not irresponsible, they are backed by
an insurance guarantee and an annual
output of four million pounds?28 years
of practical paint making.
Kindly permit the Bamberg Pharmacy
to talk to you further. Yours sincerely,
Longman & Martinez.

When the Circus Conies.
The Kev. Dr. Ledbetter, who is supplying
the pulpit of St. Paul's Methodist
church, Denver, made the following announcement
last Sunday: "J am of the
opinion that it will be "useless to undertake
to hold prayer meeting in this church
next Wednesday night. 1 do not want
you to think I am a backslider, but I realize
that I am getting too old to attempt
to buck up against a circus the size of the
carnival. I have a faint memory of trying
to do that thing one time, and I real
ized that I was the only member of the
flock that failed to get to see the show.
If you will all devote as mucht ime to
prayer at your homes this week as you
should, you will not really need the weekI
ly prayer meeting. During the week I
. hope you will keep yourselves straight,
and not get in the cooler or cause the po[
lice ambulance a run in your behalf,
i What I want you to do is to enjoy the
. beauties of the carnival in such a way as
; will educate you in the resources and ad;
vancements of our State and show you
. the possibilities of our people. Thus you
' will get something out of the week that
will do your soul good.''

Odds and Ends Gathered for the
Herald.
Millex, Ga., October 12.?We had a
chance last Tuesday evening to "laugh
and grow fat." At the lyccum, which by
the way has been opened for the season,
J. William Macy, the great New York
humorist, appeared in his versatile role of
humor, song and story. Last winter,
through the indefatigible labors of the
male teachers in our school and a few
citizens, the lyceum course was obtained
and we are now enjoying the prospect of
rare treats through another winter. This
is a source of information, recreation and
fun that no town, with the proper status
of public spiritedness, should be without.
I hold everyone is a true philosopher
who asserts and advocates practical
truths, thus the admonition to "laugh and
grow fat" must certainly have emanated
from a philosopher, and while all goodnatured
people are not fat, they are for
the most part healthy, and we readily
( perceive a very intimate relation existing
between health?physically and mentally
- ft l-\! ,
speaking?ami cneeriuiness. i;ui you
ever know a sour, gravc-yard-looking
personage who never indulged in tht
little harmless jests that help to smooth
so many of the cares of life? "Who nevei
felt the cachiufttory iufluence exerted
around him or had the ,leob webs shaken
from his brain" by merriment?
Assimilation of the food is aided by
laughter, and eating, which is a distressngly
coarse process when not spirtualized
or redeemed in some way, can be greatly
improved by good humor. But while 1
have entered a plea for laughter, do not
understand me to advocate the laughing
of fools, which Solomon says is "like tht
crackling of thorns under a pot." Bui
the good, hearty, merry laugh of those
who know there is a time and a place foi
hilarity. Prof. Lane, the humorist and
lecturer, says in his "analysis of laughter'
that various things can provoke merri
mcnt, even of a solemn nature, as foi
instance: A man lost his mother-iu-lav*
and wanted to raise a monument over liei
grave; he decided to chisel the inscriptior
himself; he started to put "Let her resi
in peace," but after getting the words lei
her he found he hadn't room for the re
mainder of the line without abbreviating
so he put: "Let her R. I. P." In con
elusion let us infer as Csesar did in re
gard to Cassius, "Men who never laugh
have a lean and hungry look and ar<
dangerous."

Over Ten Years Spent in Sleep.
Stockbridoe, Micu., Oct. 10.?One of
the most remarkable cases on record is
that of May White, who, for more than
ten years, has battled against sleep and
has won.
While attending a business college at
Ypsilanti in 1890 Miss White, at that
time 22 years old, sustained injuries to
her spine by a fall upon the icy pavement,
which caused an abscess in her side.
She was removed to her home ten miles
from this village and placed under the
care of Dr. Herman E. Brown. Her case
soon developed into hysteric epilepsy,
and she has had from one to fifty convulsions
in a day. Then began her long
sleep, and for twenty days she slept,
while the doctor worked for hours trying
to awaken her, and only for a few moments
would she rcnyiin awake when she
would relapse into a deep slumber. For
years no one was able to awaken licr but
the doctor, although many tried to do so.
She is no.w so far recovered as to be
easily awakened by any one.
Dr. Brown found the ride of ten miles
through all kinds of weather too much
for him, and so he had her removed to
his residence in town, where for the past
ten years she has been. All this time
her faithful sister, Carrie has been her
constant attendant.
During her long illness she lost the use
of her limbs, but tho doctor thinks she
will regain it in time. For the past fewyears
she has occupied a wheel chair. At
one time during her sickness she was reduced
to (id pounds, but now lips the
beam at 120 pounds.
Death of Mr. E. F. Slater.
The entire community was shocked I
Sunday afternoon at the unexpected announcemort
of the death of Mr. E. F.
Slater. Mr. Slater was well as usual in
1 the morning and ate dinner with his
family Sunday. After dinner he went
out to his office at his livery stables in the
rear of his house and it was while in his
office that he was stricken with apoplexy.
Ik was alone when stricken and
remained so until some member of the
, family, att racted bj* a strange noise, went
out to the office and found him in the
; throes of death. Several physicians were
: hastily summoned and they used most
heroic means to revive the dying man,
. but to no avail.
31 r. Slater was about 51 years of age
; and was well known throughout the
county. He was a member of the Baptist
1 church and was a genial, good-hcarted
man who had many friends in his wide
acquaintance. He leaves a wife, two
daughters and four sons, one of whom,
Dr. Ernest Slater, is holding an important
1 position in the American army in the
[ Philippines.
The fuueral services were conducted by
Rev. E. M. Lightfoot in the Baptist
; chjurch and the remains were interred in
Sunnyside cemetery.

McLanrin for Cabinet.
Washington, Oct. 14.?There has been
a good deal of talk in a quiet way about
the President offering Senator McLaurin
L a cabinet portfolio. Not until today,
' however, has there been any public in- j
t dication of this important step.
' In The Star this afternoon there ap-1
>r pears a half column in which it is stated 1
; that many callers and a large number of
t letters have been received by the Presi-:
' dent suggesting Senator McLaurin for
r his cabinet. There is no doubt but that
1 the Southern situation has been the most
' prominent one before the President since
he became president. It is equally true ;
r that Senator McLaurin is by far the forcr
most man from the South in politics at
r the capital. Coupled with this, the fact
1 that the President has given many callers,
t both from South and North, expressions
t of his high regard for Senator McLaurin,
gives color to the now public expression
> of what, as the newspaper men at the
White House say, has been long in the
* air.
? Senator McLaurin does not know any1
th}ng of the matter other than the pub'
lished statements that Uavo appeared in
- the papers this aftornoou. He declines
2 to say anything of the matter. It is
1 known, however, that the President has
1 asked him to make a special call at the
* White House on Thursday on important
j business.

e "'A lawyer in a court room may call a
1 man a liar, scoundrel, villian or thief, and
