We hope our representatives in the general assembly will put a special tax of one mill on the Bamberg school district for highways exclusively. We need and want good roads, and we can't get them without paying for them. A bill has been introduced in the legislature for the establishment of a Soldier's Home for Confederate Veterans. We are opposed to the idea. Instead of building such a home, the legislature should increase the pension for old soldiers. &- * 5. ? - . In an editorial referring to the child labor question in the cotton mills of the State, now before the legislature, Editor Ayer, of the Florence Times, makes the - very remarkable statement that cotton mills make one hundred per cent profit. We presume that Mr. Ayer knows what he is talking about, and we would like for him to name a cotton mill in this State which has made one hundred per " cent profit. ? ^ One of the most unfair things we have ever noticed in the newspaper world was the action of the Spartanburg Journal and Free Lance in publishing Senator Tillman's letter to Editor Appelt, of the Manning Times, and not printing one line of Mr. Appelt's reply. The letter and reply both appeared in the same issue of the Times, and common courtesy would demand that the most important points of the reply be republished along with the letter. While we heartily commend the scheme to erect a monument to Bamberg's honored dead who gave up their lives in defence of their liberties, we think th^Association has made a mistake in not calling the ladies to their assistance. All benevolent and patirotic enterprises are more successful when the good women take up the work, and we are afraid this Association will come to grief unless our ? women share the labor of raising the necessary funds to erect the monument. If you want to make your work eminently successful, gentlemen, call on the ladies ^ to assist you. It is amusing to find our esteemed contemporary kicking itself over our shoulders Sinoe nnr cond Sheriff did not in sert tlie advertisement under consideration and had nothing to do with its insertion, it is patent that he therefore did not "see fit to insert his advertisements \ only in another paper." The Sheriff requested us to so state the matter, and as he had the right to do that, it was clearly "our business" to comply. Not having had anything to do with the insertion of the advertisement, the Sheriff had no communications or explanations to make to our offended brother, however often or much he may have seen him "during the past two weeks." Sheriff Hunter could have applied to the Herald for an explanation, if he had been so minded, surely, but not so wishing, he had still another , "prerogative" of going to mill wherever he thought he would get the best grist. So the matter has been our business from the beginningand will continue so to the end. And just why the Herald rushes forth with its boomerang advice passes our understanding except on the ground that "it is more blessed to give than receive." The attitude of the Herald in this matter reminds us of that little tale about the fox and the grapes, which seems to fit into the creed of the Herald as nicely as " it does into the lpre of the fairies. We believe the more our estimable brother grinds this affair through the gray matter of his cranium, the more he will "see a resemblance between the Herald and the "mole hill that laboured and brought forth a pismire."?Bamberg Times. Granting that the statement of our officious contemporary, the Times, is true, that "the Sheriff requested us to so state the matter," it does not alter the case in the slightest. It is strange that there should be an explanation that the advertisements were inserted by one of the attorneys in this case, and yet immediately following such explanation the statement that "it is his prerogative to f* ' . ' put them in any paper he sees fit." If it is the Sheriffs "prerogative to put them in any paper he sees fit," why explain that they were inserted in the Times "by one of the attorneys in the case." If it was the idea to have the explanation reach the people who had read our original remurks, this paper was the one to have published it, and it was clearly a viola tion of journalistic ethics for the Times ; to have made the remarks it did, even if . requested to do so. If its editor had wanted to do the right thing, he should have referred the Sheriff to this paper for any explanation he desired to make. But the animus of the Times is quite plain As we remarked last week, it is an attempt on the part of that paper to make capital out of the incident, and was done with malicious intent. It is perfectly welcome to all it can make out of it. We have no regrets over anything we have written. We characterize the action of the Times as impertinent and contemptible, and we have noticed it far more than we intended doing in the outset. We have no desire to enter into a discussion of journalistic ethics with either the advertised editor of the Times or the writer of its last article, for reasons which must be obvious to most people in this community. The insinuation that the fable of the fox and the grapes applies to us in this matter is maliciously false, and is in keeping with the efforts of the Times to distort this incident to its own advantage. But the matter is not worth discussing, and we I don't care to pursue it further. New Advertisements. burton feeder. See the advertisement of Burton Felder in this issue.

"The great rivers don't carry passengers any more," said Chauucey Depew, "the great railroads have taken their places." Mr. Depew is right. Grass grows on the wharves at Omaha and Kansas City, and only a few freight boats are now accasionally seen at Cincinnati and Louis vine. The Harpers have gotten a new geography from which the children describe the great railroads, and what a knowledge of the whole country it gives to the youngsters. The school children used to describe the rivers, but now they describe the great railroads. To illustrate how they describe them, the teacher in the Washington public school said: "Now, Mary, can vou describe the Southern Railway? You know it is 9,000 miles long." "Yes, sir, that is very easy," said Marv. "The Southern really commences in New York. It runs its cars over the Pennsylvania railroad through Philadelphia and Baltimore to Washington. Then it leaves the Capitol and runs right by Washington Monument and the White House, Manassas and Bull Run battlefields to Lynchburg near Appomattox, where General Lee surrendered to General Grant, then to New Orleans and Florida." "Where else does it go to, Mary?" "Whv. it runs all over creation. It spreads out like a great fan all over the South to New Orleans, Florida, St. Louis and Atlanta." "Give me some of the cities the Southern goes through, Mary." "Why, from Virginia it goes through North Carolina with its 19<? cottou factories, and through the cotton and tobacco fields to Greensboro, Charlotte, Summerville and Charleston, where the great Exhibition is, and then to Savannah, with its grand old Buena Ventura. From , Savannah it runs to Brunswick, Ga., within sight of Jekel Island, and then to j St. Augustine, with its palmetto and palm ! trees, and then down into the orange groves of Florida, where, after shooting a few alligators, you can ferry across to ' Havana and see Morro Castle and the sunken Maine. Here you can pick bananas while you watch the pretty Spanish girls as they play their guitars and flirt ; with love-sick cavaliers through the iron gates." I "Where else does it run, Mary?" 1 "Why, to Memphis and the West. Then it goes to Birmingham and Chattanooga, with its Lookout Mountain, where Hooker fought among the clouds. From j Chattanooga," continued Mary, pointing j on the map, "you see the 'Southern' runs , southeast to Atlanta and North to Cincinnati, St. Louis, Chicago, Cleveland, . .uetroit ana nttsDurg.' "But the 'Southern' don't have its own j track north of Cincinnati, does it, Mary?" , "No, but they send out their wonderful , 'Florida Special' from Chicago, over the 'Big 4,''C., H. & D.,' aud 'Monon,' and [ they run through cars to Florida, from | Cleveland and Pittsburg to Jacksonville. . "But that 'Southern's Palm Limited' that flies from New York to St. Augustine, Augusta, Bon Air and Aiken," said Mary enthusiastically, "and the Southern's flier that flies to 'the land of the sky' like a cannon-ball from New York to Asheville, Atlanta, Mobile and New Orleans, where , you can see the lavishing Creole girls ' with their goo-goo eyes and " ( "But your geography don't say that, Mary!" ( "No, but my brother George said that when he got back from the Mardi Gras. ( George said, he got his ticket at the 1 Southern Ry. Office, 1185 Broadway, and 1 left New York in a snow bank at twentyfive miuutes past four o'clock in the afternoon, and was in warm Atlanta in 24 ' hours, and in New Orleans in J9 hours."

Mrs. Mabel Loomis Todd, wife of the Amherst astronomer, was telling the Appalachian Mountain club the other evening about her experiences in the Philippine islands last summer, one incident of which contained a warning against too great lingual facility. The party with which Mrs. Todd was sojourning, included a relative of one of the civil commission, a young lady who had lived several years in Samoa. The party had reached one of the southern islands of the Philippine archipelago and were "meeting" a group of the natives that had come to greet them. These natives appeared to be somewhat different from the run of Filipinos and were particularly distinguished by the handsome beadwork on their garments. Men and women wore it in elaborate and exquisitely designed figures. All the ladies of the touring party coveted specimens, but all attempts to buy some were fruitless. The natives would not sell on any consideration. The young lady who had lived so long in Samoa overheard their conversation and remarked that she understood them, their dialect was so nearly like the Samo1 o _ r _i j i ? an language, noine 01 me oiuer lauies, the chaperones of the younger fry, urged her to go ahead and see what she could do with Samoan, which she accordingl)r did. The chief, whom she addressed, threw up his hands in surprise. "What," said he, "does the white maiden talk our language?" fie was evidently overjoyed and promptly asked her the Samoan equivalent for "what he could do for her?" She told him in her sweetest Samoan how much she admired the bead work on their garments and how much she would like to buy a piece of it to take back to her own country and show her countrymen how skilful and artistic these particular Filipinos were. "No," said the chief, with a lordly wave of the hand, "you shall not buy. You shall take as a gift." Whereupon he quickly removed his trousers and handed them over with the unblushing grace of a child of nature. The young lady hastily resumed her English tongue and the other ladies of the party confined their further importunities to women of the tribe.?Boston Herald. Jnstice for the Editor. "No man in the community does more for the public and receives less for it than the country editor," said Senator Clay Heather, of Palmyra, Marion county, in the Missouri State senate when the bill reducing the price of publishing the Australian ballot was under consideration. "If all the space he employs in booming the town, in helping individuals, in making statesmen?sometimes out of pretty raw material?were paid for even at half the legal rate, he would be the richest man in the county. "Few country editors are rich, but they are of more service to the communities where they live than the wealthiest man. They are in the forefront of every movement for progress. They do the work and leave the emoluments to others. A good, clean, houest newspaper?and most county newspapers are good and clean and honest?helps on every worthy cause and deserves every encour agement. It lights the party battles, holds up the hands of the reformer and makes the scoundrel afraid. I am opposed to this bill. No paper in my county would print the ballot at the pitiful price named. The}' are not paupers. But for the amount of the splendid public service they render they ought to be millionaires."?State Tribune, Jefferson City, Mo. Cabinets ami Cabinet-Making. The gradual reconstruction of Mr. Roosevelt's Cabinet lends a direct and timely interest to an article which the Hon. Charles Emory Smith has just written for The Saturday Evening Post, of Philadelphia. Cabinets and Cabinet-Making tells how Presidents choose their official advisers; how nice political considerations influence their choice and reduce to lowest terms the number of available candidates. One of the most important conclusions reached by Mr. Smith is that most Presidents have followed one of two methods in forming their official families: that of Mr. Lincoln and his predecessors, who surrounded themselves with party leaders and former Presidential candidates, and that of Mr. McKinley, who appointed strong, broad-gauged men, regardless of previous political preeminence. This article will appear in an early issue of The Saturday Evening Post. Stops the Cough and Works off the Cold. Laxative Bromo-Quinine Tablets cure a cold in one day. No cure; no pay.

Sir Walter Scott's firsi; client was a burglar. He got the fellow off, but the man declared that he hadn't a penny to give him for his services. Two bits of useiui lmormauon ne onereu, uowever, and with these the young lawyer had to be content. The first was that a yelping terrier inside the house was a better protection against thieves than a big dog outside; and the second, that no sort of lock bothered his craft so much as an old, rusty one. Small compensation as this was, the first brief of the noted French lawyer, Monsieur Rouher, yield ed still less. The peasant for whom Monsieur Rouher won the case asked, how much he owed him. "Oh say two francs," said the modest young advocate. "Two francs!" exclaimed the peasant. "That is very high. Won't you let me off with a franc and a half?" "No," said the counsel; "two francs or nothing." "Well, then," said the client, "I'd rather pay nothing." And with a bow he left.

A classic case is that of the royal granary which was depleted of its stores by a succession of "one rat came and took one grain away, and another rat came and took another grain away." So fortunes are dissipated, and reputations are destroyed, and health is ruined and character itself lost?by little extravagances, little indiscretions, little negligences, little obliquities. Benjamin Franklin was a great economist not alone of money, but of time. He said, "To teach a young man to shave himself is as good as to give him a purse of gold." He had reference to the minutes as well as the dimes it costs to patronize the barber. Elihu Burritt stopped the leak in his time and taught himself a dozen languages. Gladstone was equally wise, for he read Plato in his carriage be tween Carleton terrace and the parliament buildings. A prosperous man ascribed his success In business to his habit of permitting no particle of material to bo unproductive. He experimented and elaborated until he found a method of disposing profitably of every atom left over. There is a man in New York who ha9 in bank a goodly sum of money which he calls his " 'tis but fund." When tempted to needless expenditure by the specious plea, " 'Tis but a nicl^l or a quarter or a dollar," he denies himself and drops the amount he would have spent into a portable bank, which is filled with amazing rapidity. That is one way to stop a leak. More serious than any prudential matter are the little leaks in life by which vital energy is squandered and moral force is diminished, imperceptibly St may be, through what we sometimes regard as inconsequential acts. Lack of order in our methods of labor, indifference to the "minor morals" of hygiene and the "major morals" of honesty and truth, the practical repudiation of personal responsibility, the neglect of duties which arise from our ethical and religious nature?these are the leaks which we must stop or be bankrupt in the world's eyes and in God's.?Saturday Evening Post A LESSON IN CHESS.
