The Baptist Courier has put in a linotype machine, and the improvement in the print of that paper is wonderful. It is now a handsome, well-printed sheet, and we congratulate its editors on the improvement. According to the annual report of the postmaster general, the free rural delivery system has been a great success, and the best part of it is that it has been self-sustaining. The service will no doubt be increased as rapidly as possible, until every country neighborhood will get the mail ever}* day. Many counties who did not at first expect to make an exhibit at the Charleston Exposition are falling into line, and the county exhibits generally will be creditable ones. Bamberg county should be ^ * represented. It is not too late to take action. It will operate against us if we are noi represented Dy an exniuu. Bill Arp says educating the negro has "been a failure. He's right. The people of the South are taxing themselves to educate negroes, and it is money worse than thrown away, for we candidly be* " lieve it does harm instead of good as a rule. In fact, this thing of free education ii a good deal of an imposition anyway, and we only support it as a matter of K&r * necessity. The clipping which we publish in another column is somewhat out of the ordinary. A woman in Chicago has been married twelve years, and in that time has given birth to nineteen children, and she is not yet thirty years old. The latest addition to the family was -quadruplets, and occurred while the husband was away from home. He^has not returned, and the wife has asked for a divorce on the ground of desertion. We don't blame him; the thing to dc is to stay as far away from home as possible. Now the new county advocates at Dillon are citing Bamberg as an instance of smaller counties reducing taxation. Wc wish the good people of Dillon success in their new county scheme, but it is not a fact that smaller counties reduce taxes? Pso far as Bamberg is concerned. We have now a tax of three mills, but the county is badly in debt and has been so ever since its formation. It will take at least a six mills levy to get us straight, and yet our county affairs are managed with all the economy possible. We mention this merely to keep the record straight. The city council should certainly take some steps to procure better lights for our streets. These dark nights it is hard for pedestrians to get along on Railroal Avenue, which is the principal residence ??street of the town. If we cannot afford electric lights, why not look into the matter of purchasing the new light which is said to be a great success. It is called the Kitson light and burns kerosene. We notice that this company has made a proposition to the city of Charleston - for lighting the streets, and the light is said to be much cheaper than electricity T4/ a l\/\rvA <11111 gncs ginm oaiisiavtiwu. TT I uupi oar city fathers will take up the lighting question at an early date, for that we need better lights no one will deny. Render to Caesar His Dues. Dear Herald :?I always write from inspiration, often times tracing the words with pen just as they bubble from my heart. A new inspiration has seized me. It is to write a few lines especially to wives, whose husbands are members of secret orders. My experience has been such a peculiar one along this line, it may benefit other wives who feel as I once did. To say I hated "a lodge" ex# presses it exactly, and my idea of men be* coming members was: thej* had a pleasant evening together, laughed and gossiped and got rid of the crying babies at home! Then the money spent for dues haunted me and I considered it a great waste and deprivation to the family! Time went on, I nursed my antipathy and never lost an opportunity to give secret orders a slam! A paper published by the Pythian order came to my home quite often and it was my especial delight to bum it and stand with poker in hand to give it a punch as Ions: as a vestige remained on the flames, fiight years have passed since then ; Ave moved "to Georgia 1 and it seems God designed that I should j suffer peculiar trials in order to show me my Avrong. The perfect devotion, untiring attention, and ceaseless kindness shown us b\- members of the Kniirhts of Pythias lodge have produced in my heart a wonderful revolution. And from hatred, my feelings have assumed oue of love for every worthy member of this most benevolent order. Wives, don't fall into my error; encourage your husbands to attend the meetings and feel every time that he goes, you and your children are sharers with liiin in one of the grandest causes on earth, outside of the "church. My eye glistens with delight when it falls on a P. C. B. badge, because I know the wearer would defend me in any emergencv, though I be a perfect stranger, \ and for this"reason, I keep in mind the name and number of my husband's lodge whenever I start on a journey. Read the < "Pythian Lodge Secret," published in Atlanta, Ga., or any other similar publication and see what this body is doing for the world. During the month of October one hundred and fifty-one thousand dollars was paid to the widows and orphans of deceased Knights. Think of the relief brought to dependent women, who otherwise would suffer for bread perhaps. I personally know a man who has been confined to bed over twelve weeks; during that time he has not only received a oi/>L- Jifitu.fit lint line liml n trninoil imref to care for him, furnished by the Millen lodge. I know a widow of a deceased . member who is aided in various ways and ' f, she does not know the source of her good luck. My pen could glide on, giving many more instances, but time forbids. 1 In conclusion, I point to the pathetic incident that occurred recently on Mt. Pleasant, S. C., where a man died among strangers and would have received a pauper's burial had not the fact come to light that he belonged to a Pythian lodge in Lowell, Mass. He was at once, not 1 only nicely laid away, but received the , tender attentions of brotherly love! I breathe a prayer of sisterly love upon all such worthy orders! M. (). Lanikk. A Chicago man has been scolded, thrashed ami sued for kissing a woman at a church bazaar. We refuse, however, to regard this as conclusive evidence that the church is failing to do good.

LINCOLN'S LOGIC. How Old Abo Learned to Tell When a Thine la Proved. A man who beard Abraham Lincoln speak In- Norwich, Conn., some time before he was nominated for president, was greatly Impressed by the closely knit logic of the speech. Meeting him next day on a train he asked him how he acquired his wonderful logical powers and such acuteness in analysis. Lincoln replied: "It was my terrible discouragement which did that for me. When I was a young man, I went into an office to study law. I saw that a lawyer's business Is largely to prove things. I said to myself, 'Lincoln, !!? 4kln? nwATTA/^ 9' TITfl Q fl YV Lieu 1.3 a UillJg Intuitu I Jkuuk nua >. poser. What constitutes proof? Not evidence; that was not the point. There may be evidence enough, but wherein consists the proof? I groaned over the question, and finally said to myself, 'Ah, Lincoln, you can't tell.' Then I thought what use is it for me to be in a lavf office If I can't tell when a thing is proved ? "So I gave it up and went back home. Soon after I returned to the old log cabin I fell in with a copy of Euclid. I had not the slightest notion of what Euclid was, and I thought I would find out. I therefore began at the beginning, and before spring I had gone through, the old Euclid's geometry and could demonstrate every proposition in the t>ook.' Then in the spring, j when I had got through with it, I said to myself one day, 'Ah, do you know when a thing is proved?' and I answered, 'Yes, sir, I do.
