To Our Subscribers.
We realize that money is very scarce;
and that many of you are in bad financial
condition, but we want those who are indebted
to us to pay at least a portion of
what the}' are due right away. We need
[ the money to help pay for new machinery
| we are putting into the office, and we hope
' every one indebted to the paper will help
us out some. If vou can't pavall you owe,
pay what you can. We will be glad to
receive any amount. Very few owe us,
we are glad to say, but if these few would
settle a portion of their indebtedness, it
would help us very materially.

The Express Robbery. (
The News and Courier has the follow- 1
ing to say about the arrest of Daniel Barr <
charged with complicity in the Branchville
express robbery: I
"If Daniel Barr, the seventeen-year old ,
lad, who was arrested by the federal authorities
several days ago, suspected of
complicity in the recent Branchville train
robbery, knows anything of the hold up 1
he has succeeded thus far in keeping the 1
information strictly to himself. Tn gen- 1
eral make up and appearance Barr is an j
ordinary country youth, but his keen gray j
eyes are full of expression and there is
something about the cut of his features
m? ~c ? 1
llull gives one mi iuca 01 unusuui luiciitgence.
The boy has been subjected to
the most rigid examination, but so far as <
can be learned he has thrown little or no t
light on the identity of the bandits. a
Joe Carson, colored, who also occupies
a cell at the county jail, charged with x
complicity in the robbery, has divulged
no more than Darr. Carson owns the .
team which was used to haul the express 1
safe from the train to the Edisto river. c
The officers at work on the case are of the
opinion that there is something peculiar 1
about both Barr and Carson being called r
on at the point of Winchesters to assist t
in the hold up, when there appear to have j
been at least seven of the highwaymen to
do the work. c

bill in the house repealing the old road
law of Barnwell county, insofar as it relates
to Bamberg county.
No final action has as yet been taken
on Senator Mayfield's bill to establish a
fertilizer factory, although the house has .
provided for a commission to inquire into ^
Lhe advisability of its establishment. This c
commission to report at the next session. *
The bill introduced by our delegation *

profits for the expenses of the chain gang {
has passed both houses.
The question of biennial sessions of ?
the legislature it seems is to be submitted t
to the people, the house having adopted a
resolution to this end.
The bill fixing the salaries of county
officers provides the following salaries for *
the officers of Bamberg county: Auditor, <
?800; Sheriff, ?850; Clerk of Court, ?150; c
Supervisor, ?250. The sheriff is also to
receive twenty cents per day for dieting
prisoners. Senator May field attempted
to have Jthe prisoners dieted by the county r
commissioners, but has failed so far.

Superintendent of Education, ?75. This 1

a
It was during the Cleveland Adminis- ^
tration that Private Jonn Alien maae nis
famous reply to the equally famous speech c
)f Congressman Boutelle, of Maine, says
i writer in the Kansas City Star, President
Cleveland had decided to allow the
captured Confederate battle flags to he re- s
turned to the different States whence they g
3ame. Boutelle made a masterful address ^
jn the subject. He reminded his hearers rj
:>f all the notable Federal victories and
mded in a "blaze of glory as he painted v
by word of mouth the final surrender. ^
When Boutelle took his seat he had so far ti
carried his hearers away that those in the Y
gallery and the Republican members of r;
the House burst forth into cheers. o
Suddenly from the Democratic side was
tieard the calm, soothing tones of John
AJlen as he said ; "Mr. Speaker." He
told of his joining the Southern cause and _
following one of the flags about which
the discussion arose.
"When it was all over." he said. "I ti
started back home. I was barefooted, p
nearly naked and without money, I con- ci
eluded to walk. I trudged along for a day js
or so when a man I knew lent me a mule. 0
When I wa? about four miles from home ,
I decided to leave the main road I was
travelling and go by another route and
sneak in the back way. I had gone only
x little distance when I saw an old man, 4|
x fellow townsman, sitting on a rail fence. a
"'Well, John, I see you are back,' he o
said.
" 'Yes, Uncle Zeb,' I answered.
" 'Did they lick us, John?' e<
"'Yes, Uncle Zeb. They licked us h
plenty, too.' e<
" 'Freed the niggers, toaV ei
" 'Yes, they freed the niggers.' t(
"The old man got down from the fence and,
after he had thoroughly stretched out F
all his kinks, he said :
' 'John, I don't mind being licked so j.
much, and I can stand these niggers being .
freed, but, John, the worst of it is that in
about thirty years some durned fool will
throw it up to us.'" ^

MISAPPLIED WORDS.
Some Expressions tlie l'?e of Which.
Slionld Be Reformed.
"Extra" is an abused word. Feople
say "extra good" or "extra cheap" in
order to intensify "good" and "cheap."
But "extra" has no such force. So far
from intensifying a given condition, it
denies it by indicating that the thing
so described lies outside the sphere or
quality named. Thus, "extra judicial"
floes not mean more than ordinarily judicial,
as though a judge had dredged
his conscience in giving an opinion, but
outside of judicial and therefore incapable
of being judged at all in the prescribed
way.
A grievous fault is the use of 'iidentlfy"
in a phrase like this, "He is identified
with the antivaccination movement."
A man can only identify himself
with another man or set of men.
He can Identify himself with the opponents
of vaccination?and even here
the word carries a shade of meaning of
its own, distinguishing the phrase from
such a one as "he joined the opponents
of vaccination."
One should not speak of "high" or
"low" caliber; but, remembering the
meaning of "caliber," one should apply
to it only such adjectives as "great" or
"small."
It is wrong to speak of a "consensus
af opinion." The word "consensus" itself
means an agreement of thought
and should stand alone.?Academy.
Crank and Eplcare.
"A traveling crank and epicure had
the audacity to ask the head steward
shortly before my boat sailed from
Liverpool for New York," said a waiter
on an ocean liner, "If he would mind
changing three of the courses on the
bill of fare for others which he preferred.
He was informed politely but
firmly that there were other passengers
besides himself sailing on the vessel
and that if he thought he could
not survive on the excellent fare provided
during the voyage all he had to
3o was to book with another line and
his passage money would be returned '
to him.
"Steamship companies are not in the
habit of returning passage money when
once paid, as is well known, but in
this instance we would willingly have
lone so.
"Our fastidious passenger did not
book with another line, however, and,
what Is more, he ate enough at each
meal on the trip to satisfy two men 1
with sea air appetites and presented
to the waiter, who attended with exTeme
good nature to his likes and dis- ^
ikes throughout the voyage, the magnificent
sum of 15 cents."?New York

Hla Lovely Manners.
A benevolent looking man boarded a
lowntown elevator already occupied
)y three women upward bound- With
i Chesterfieldian air he respectfully
loffed his hat and held It in his hand
mtil he had reached his destination.
"What a charming man! Such lovey
manners!" gushed the women In
:horus. '
A few minutes later the benevolent 1
ooking man of the lovely manners '
eached his office. Pitching his hat on 3
he back of his beneficent bead, sprawl- 1
ng himself down In true manly aban- 1
Ion at his desk, puffing a clay pipe iD (
in artistic masculine fashion, occasion- 1

growing in it
"Dear, dear!" said the archdeacon.

When Wive* Were Sold.
A century or so ago wife selling was
lot an uncommon event in England,
is the following Item, which appeared

vould show:
"On Friday a coal porter exhibited
lis wife In Smithfield, with a halter
ound her neck,, for sale. He demanded
a guinea for her, but she bung on
land for some time, until a man of

ITALIAN VIOLINS.
Tie First "Strad" Sent to London
Conld Find No Purchaser.
Italian violins Lave not always held
the supremacy they now enjoy. It was
not indeed till the beginning of the
nineteenth century that they came into
vogue to any extent outside their native
land. Previously Jacob Steiner
(1G21-S3) was the favorite maker, and
his high model had been almost exclusively
copied by his fellow Germans
;and the different makers in France and
England. When the elder Corvetto,
who had been a merchant before entering
the musical profession, came to
London, in 1738, he brought with him
some instruments by Stradivari. The
result of this endeavor to introduce
Italian work into England fills one with
pathetic wonder. It is almost beyond
belief. As he could not get as much as
?5 ($25) for a violoncello he was obliged
to send the instrument back to Italy
for a bad speculation. Five pounds for
a "Strad," and not a single purchaser
to be found!
This incident in Itself furnishes sufficient
testimony to the slavish following
of tho great German maker and the
strong prejudice of the violinists of
that period in favor of the high model.
It hi indppd thp nlnvprs who nrp most
to blame for the slow adoption of the
flat model, for the creator must make
what Is necessitated by the demand;
but the eighteenth century fiddlers, at
any rate In England, France and Germany,
seem for the most part to have
been content that their violins should
possess a small sweet tone, never realizing
the lack of power and sonority.?
Connoisseur.
He Sn!<l to Himself.
Kansas enjoys the distinction, possibly,
of being the only state in the
Union where a man has been allowed
by a court of inquiry to testify regarding
what he said to himself.
A committee had been appointed by
the legislature, says The Green Bag,
to investigate the alleged bribery of
certain members in connection with a
aereatea ranroaa Din. ine nrst witness
called testified that he saw one cf
the representatives late one night coming
down the hotel stairs.
4,I said to myself," he went on, but
a member on the side of the defense
jumped to his feet
41 Hold on!" he shouted. 44You can't
testify about what you said to yourself!".
The prosecutor retorted that there
was no law to prohibit .him from so
testifying. A long argument ensued,
but a majority of the committee agreed
with the chairman that the testimony
was admissible.
4,I said to myself," seriously proceeded
the witness, "that M. had been up
to Billy's room to get his pay."
The testimony was recorded and
made a part of the official record.
Chinese Points For Hosts.
"Don't eat with your cars," says
Yuan Mel? a Chinese writer, "by which
I mean do not aim at having extraor
uiuiuy uui ul me way iwua, just tu
astonish jour guests, for that Is to
eat with your ears, not with your
mouth. Bean curd. If gootj, Is actually
nicer than birds' nest. And better than
sea slugs, which are not first rate, is n
iish of bamboo shoots,
i 4<The chicken, the pig, the fish and
the duck?these are the four heroes of
the table. Sea slugs and birds' nest
have 110 characteristic flavors of their
>wn. They are but usurpers In the
bouse. I once dined with a friend who
?ave us birds' nests in bowls like vats,
holding each about four ounces of the
plain boiled article. The other guests
applauded vigorously, but I smiled and
jaid I came here to eat birds' nest, not
to take delivery of it wholesale."
He Understood.
Anton Rubinstein, the Russian composer,
in his autobiography tells of the
confusion which overcame a certain
irehitect of his acquaintance who had
i habit of interlarding all his remarks
svith the phrase, "You understand."
On one occasion he was explaining
certain architectural matters to the
jmperor, and, according to custom,
made free use of his favorite expresjion.
"Good heavens!" exclaimed Emperor
Nicholas at last Irritably. "Of course I
anderstand! My dear fellow, how
jould I help it?"
How the Natives Treat Gorillas.
Natives in the countries inhabited by
jreat apes regard them always as human
beings of inferior types, and it is
'or this reason that for a long time it
svas foufid impossible to get hold of
in entire gorilla skin, because the saviges
considered it religiously necestarv
to cut off the hands and feet of
:he animals when they killed them,
ust as they do with their enemies, posilbly
for the purpose of rendering them
tiarmless in case they should by any
ihance come to life again.
His Choice of Sacrifices.
"It is true," said the person of high
deals, "that you have attained pros)erity
by your writings, but you have
iroduced nothing that will live."
"Well," answered the comfortable
Itterateur, "when it comes to a ques
ion of which shall live, myself or my
vritings, I didn't hesitate to sacrifice
ny writings," ?
