Veterans will call the ladies to their
aid in the project to erect a monument to
Bamberg county's honored dead in the
civil war. Sheriff J. B. Hunter, the president,
was empowered to appoint a committee
of ladies from each section of the
county, but the gentleman who gave us a
report of the meeting made no mention of
it. We thought it rather strange that the
old soldiers should not call on the ladies
for assistance, remembering the faithful
devotion and sacrifices of the noble women
of the South during the war. Captain
Hunter will announce the names of
this committee in a short time.
Good Roads Convention.
We have received the following letter
in regard to the good roads convention in
Columbia:
Columbia, S. C., Jan. 17th, 1902.
Dear sir:?We beg to call your attention
to the fact that a Good Roads Convention
will be held in the City of Columbia, S. C.,
on Jan. 30tli to 31st inclusive, and to ask
you to attend thesame and co-operate with
us in promoting this important cause. A
train of cars from the Southern Railway
will be here in charge of Mr. W. H. Moore,

Association. He will be assisted by engineers
and experts, who will be provided
with new machinery and will practically
demonstrate the building of both macadam
and dirt roads.
The Convention will also be addressed
by experts, as well as by .several prominent
men!who are interestedin road building.
The Convention will be held at a
time when the Legislature is in session at
Columbia, and the senators and representatives
from your county will doubtless at~

Cigarettes?Chewing Gnm.
The anti-cigarette law has been topic
of discussion for some time. Cricticism
and uncharitable remarks of various na^
tures have been heaped upon the small
boy, the beardless youth and young man.
Girls desiring to enforce a "reform" have
gone so far as to threaten to cutthepleas>
ant relationship existing between themselves
and certain young men unless they
(the men) left off the "naughty practice."
All of this is well enough. I have no
- ' plea-to enter in favor of cigarettes or any
other form of tobacco, but I do like consistency.
The prevailing use of chewing
gum among our women and girls, weakens
the influence they might otherwise wield.
It is a disgusting sight to watch a woman
chew a quid of the sticky stuff?to see her
jaws work like a machine shuttle and occasionally
to watch her mouth open and
the quid rolled to the other side and again
the vigorous chewing resumed.
"She may be fairer than the day,
Or the flowery meads in May,
If she be not so to me.
What care I how fair she be?"

beautiful grace and culture that character*

whose mouth it may be, leaves its mark
of coarseness. If I may be personal I
would say that I, as a mother, hold the
province to discourage the use of gum in
my presence by my daughter; she must
have at least that much respect for my
feelings. Can we not all enter a plea
against gum in our homes and gradually
broaden the field of labor until the laws
of the land will come to our aid? Would
that I could bribe niy pen to bring forth
an argument so strong that some who read
this would pause, think and "see themselves

Mrs. Cleveland's Democracy.
A lady who knew Mrs. Cleveland quite
well met her at the Grand Central Station
in New York, recently, fairly laden down
with parcels.
"You look like a real old-fashioned
Santa Claus," she said to Mrs. Cleveland.
"01), no, not quite that," was the reply,
"for I have 110 toys in my parcels; they
are filled with fruit that I am taking out
to where I am staying, because they are
very fond of these particular things and
they can't be had out there."
When Mrs. Cleveland left the train her
friend thought that she would give pleasure
to the brakeman by telling him that
he had "entertained an angel unawares."
So she said, "Did you see that lady on
the platform with all those parcels?"
"Yes," said he, "what of her?"
"That's Mrs. Cleveland." The man refused
to believe her. He could not believe
that the wife of the ex-President, almost
struggling with parcels, would be traveling
alone in an ordinary day coach.

Smallest Baby on Record.
Dr. "W. F. Gilliam, who lias been practicing
medicine for :S2 years, says an Owensboro,

birtli and growth of a baby girl which is
unparalleled in medical experience.
* The parents of the child ,4re Mr. and
Mrs. Clint McMurtrv. On January 28
Dr. Gilliam was called to attend Mrs. MeMurtrv
for pneumonia. She gave pre.
mature birth to a baby girl, 10 inches in
length. Its head was soft and no larger
than a lemon and its thighs were about
the size of a man's linger. Dr. Gilliam
had the babe wrapped in cotton and told
the father that it could not live over an

DARING ROBBERY.
Express Car Robbed Near the Same
l'laee it was Two Years Ago.
A most bold and daring robbery oecurre
1 near Branchville last Monday night
about seven o'clock, the express car attached
to the evening passenger train out
of Charleston, being robbed near Fiftyeight.
a small station just below Branchville.
The train had left Charleston about five
o'clock and was going towards Branchville.
They had just passed the 56-mile
post when the engineer was notified by
the fireman that there were some men on
the tender who wanted the train stopped.
He did not stop, and immediately they began
shooting, one bullet passing through
his cap. The negro fireman jumped off as
soon as the shooting commenced, and did
not show up again until the train reached
Branchville. The engineer also climbed
out 011 his engine with the intention of
jumping off, but he decided he could not
get back to his engine, as she was running
fast, so as soon as the shooting ceased he
climbed back and put on brakes. There
were then two men in the cab; both had
rifles and were not masked. A third was
on the tender. They tried to make the
engineer uncouple the train, but he
would not do it, so they forced him to tell
them how. One stayed in the cab as he
said to keep tab 011 the engineer while the
others uncoupled the train at the second
class car. This fellow in the cab knew
the engineer and said: "Mr. Reynolds,
I'm afraid I came mighty near hitting you.
I wouldn't hurt a hair of your head for
anything. I only tired at you to scare
you, for 3'ou wouldn't stop. We don't
want to hurt a single employe of the railroad,
but we want to get the stuff from that
d n express company."
Then he was ordered to go ahead, and
one of the men told him to stop 200 yards
from the 58-mile post depot, but as he was
slowing up one of the fellows told him
to go ahead right up to the "goat house,"
as he called the little station. As he
fitnrvrWJ tlie train there was a <rood deal
.railing to open it, tiiey tiea a rope to it
and threw it into the river. Tuesday
morning Carson told about it and carried
a party to the spot where the safe was recovered.
It had not been opened. The
negro lived near the depot, and said three
white men were all that he saw, and he
did not know them. It is believed he
knows more about the affair than lie told,
so lie has been arrested. It is supposed
the reason the robbers put the safe in the
river was they intended to come back
later and blow it open. About $11} was
all the robbers got for their trouble, just
about enough to pay for the quantity of
ammunition shot away. The passengers
on the train were not molested, but the
news butcher in the second-class car was
robbed of his stock of cigars, cigarettes,
and chewing gum. He says one man came
into the car and pointed a pistol at him,
and told him to get out, which he did in
a hurry. There was another man on the
ground near the car, and they called each
other "Mike" and "Pat." Hloodhounds
were put on the trail of the robbers at the
river where the safe was found and they
billowed it down the river to a boat landing
where two empty-boats were moored.
There it was lost, but detectives are scouring
that whole section of country, and
every effort is being made to apprehend
the robbers.
The Gaffney Carpet company has been
placed in the hands of a receiver. . The |
mill will continue to run, and it is said
the losses of the stockholders will be
small.

The thieves secured one dollar in money
and nine dollars in stamps.

more shooting. In about five minutes
they told the engineer he could take his
engine back to his train, but lie said he
was going to Branchville. One of the
men then told him they guessed he
wouldn't and rode back half a mile with
him to see that he didn't, getting off
while the engine was still moving. The
engineer said that the men looked and
talked like ordinary country folks, right
here at home.
When the train was first stopped the
express messenger put out his light and
started to leave his car, but was stopped
at the door by a man with a pistol. Then
he was commanded to open the large safe,
but he told them he could not do so, as it
had been locked in Charleston. They
then took all the packages out of the small
safe, and when the train stopped at 58
they rolled the big safe out and loaded it
on a wagon, which had been backed up
to the side of the car. The messenger
says only two men were in his carat first,
but they made him turn his back to them
while thev were robbing the car, having
previously disarmed him. He says, bowever,
that it sounded like there were three
men in the car when the safe was unloaded
at 58. All the men were armed
with repeating "Winchester rifles, and a
great deal of promiscuous shooting was
done. The baggage and mail car were
struck repeatedly by the bullets, and the
baggage master had to take refuge behind
a big pile of trunks to keep from being
killed. The conductor was in the rear
coach of his train, and in consequence
was not carried to the scene of the unloading
of the safe, the baggage, mail and
express cars being all that were carried.
It is thought there were six or eight men
in the hold-up party.
This is about the same spot where the
express car was robbed about two years
ago, for which crime Bartow Warren, a
young white man of Branchville, was
tried in Orangeburg, the case resulting in
a mistrial. Afterwards he shot and killed
Thomas Watson, who was the principal
witness against him. It is said lie has
been in hiding down in Colleton county
since the killing, and everyone here supposes
this last robbery to be the work of
Warren and a gang of reckless characters
whom he has gotten together.
As soon as the news became known, the
express officials and the legal authorities
went to work, Sheriff Dukes, of Orangeburg,
going to the scene with his blood
hounds. The sheriff of Charleston also
sent a posse of well armed men. The
hunt was commenced Monday night immediately
after the robbery, but 110 clue
has yet been found, except that after the
robbery the men went to the house of a
negro named Pinckney Carson and forced
him to haul the safe to the Edisto river.

Mrs. Lease, the former Kansas orator,
now of New York, advanced the following
original idea the other day, apropos
of the liquor question now being agitated
there: "I would make whiskey as free
as water; I would let the man who wants
it drink his fill. It would result beneficially
in killing oil a lot of saloon frequenters,
who are only a burden to the world
and to themselves, and eliminating their
progeny, who furnish the recruits for the
great army of crime and disease, and
would bring into practical operation the
law of the survival of the fittest."
A Good Recommendation.
"I have noticed that the sale on Chamberlain's
Stomach & Liver Tablets is almost
invariably to those who have once used
them," says Mr.J.H. Weber, a prominent
druggist, of- Cascade, Iowa. What better
recommendation could any medicine have
than for people to call for it when again
in need of such a remedy? Try them
when you feel dull after eating, when you
have a bad taste in your mouth, feel bilious,
have no appetite or when troubled
with constipation, and you are certain to
be delighted with the prompt relief which
they afford. For sale by Bamberg

Vaccinating in the Hub.
It was at a dinner party. The bright
young man found himself privileged to sit
next to the young woman with beautiful
arms and neck. He thought himself the
most favored personage in the room.
Suddenly his fair companion exhibited
signs of nervousness. Two of his very best
jokes, saved f<Jr a special occasion, passed
by unnoticed. Her face wore a look of
alarm. Apprhensively the young man
gazed at her and, meeting "the look, she
said:
"I am in misery."
"In misery?" echoed the man.
"Yes," sht^rcplied. "I was vaccinated
the other day and it has taken beautifully.
I could almost scream, it hurts so."
The young man looked at the beautiful
arms and, seeing no mark there, said :
"Why, where were you vaccinated?"

CLOUD FORMATIONS.
(That Cqurpi Them to Assume Such
Variety In Shape.
A good idea of the correct reason for
arying cloud shapes may he obtained
y matching the steam from a railway
lgine under different conditions. As
issues from the funnel it is transareut
water vapor. On a moist, cloudy
ay it will hang in thick, fleecy masses
1 the track of the train. In dry, bright
eather it will rise in light, thin
reaths, which quickly disappear, and
gain when the engine is standing in
station the steam will collect in
msses above it.
These are practically the conditions
f cloud formatiou. The shapes vary
ccording to height above the earth, to
le temperature of the particular air
rrent in which they are floating, to
lie force and direction of the wind at
:ie various altitudes and also in some
leasure to the electrical condition of
ae atmosphere and the amount of
ust in it.
As a rule, the higher the clouds the
ghter they are and the more widely
pread. The so called mares' tails and
mackerel sky are good examples of
[lis. Some of the former are over five
files high and are believed to be comosed
of minute particles of ice. The
louds in a mackerel sky are generally
bout three miles high.
The heavy cumulus clouds which so
ften look like vast mountain ranges
re only found in the lower and molst:
r layers of atmosphere. Their lower
urfaces are from half to three-quar?rs
of a mile above the earth, while
heir higher points may range from
wo to three miles In elevation. Still
iwer than these come the heavy flat
lasses of nimbus or rain clouds which
re seldom more than half a mile above
he earth.
Sports of tlic Crnsndcr*.
In their amusements Christians and
ifidels mingled very readily. During
he truces the two frequently engaged
i jousts and proved one another's skill
i horsemanship, in the use of the
mce, in the wielding of the sword
nd in the hurling of the spear. All.
ven the knights of the religious orders,
ntered with zest into these friendly
ivalries. Beth Christian and infidel
rere extremely fond of hunting and
alconry. A long section in the assizes
5 devoted to the laws concerning the
atter subject Ousama In his autoblgrapby
devoted many pages to acounts
of hunting experiences and to
he art of falconry. The crusading
waders took their hunting dogs and falons
with them as a matter of course
rhen they set out on the holy war.
As the close proximity of the enemy
xposed bojli parties to constant atack,
hunting agreements were made
?y which each might hunt in security
n disputed territory. Gifts of dogs
n/i hmrts were interchanged, and
ricndsbips were sometimes formed beause
of tbe mutual interest In breedag
hunting animals. ? International

His Particular Mnsc.
He had been calling on a young lady
nd bad been talking against time for
everal hours, not noticing that she
ras, to say the least, slightly wearied.
"Do you know." be said, after competing
a monologue of several thouand
words and thinking a little flatery
would be appreciated, "while talk g
touight I have felt as if 1 were inpired
by one of the muses. And which
ne do you think it is?"
He looked searchingly into her beauiful
face. The modest blush for which
ie was watching proved to be a wide
awn, which grew wider as she answered
:
"I guess the muse that Inspires you
onight must be Euterpe."
He didn't really know anything about
ythology, so be couldn't tell just what
he meant. But when be got home he
ook down his encyclopedia, and there
n cold type, staring him in the face,
ie saw:
"Euterpe?the muse who presided

A Pretty Biff TIffer.
Old Dickey S., a very wealthy but
rery Illiterate East India merchant in
London, took a pair of compasses and
;et about examining a large map of
ndia, the margin of which was illusrated
with drawings of the wild and
lomestic animals of the country.
Suddenly Dickey dropped'the com>ass
In amazement "It can't be! It
tin't In the border of nature that it
hould be! Impossible! Ridiculous!"
"Why, Dickey, what's the matter?"
"Wot's the matter? Vy, this Bengal
iger is ninety miles long!"
Dickey had measured the tiger by the
