Several counties in the State are making
efforts, through their leading citizens,
to have the school children visit the Charleston
Exposition one day. It is a most
^ creditable undertaking. Every child in
'South Carolina should see the Exposition.
It will be worth more to them than many
months of stud}'.

An election was held in Yorkville last
Friday on the question of dispensary or
no dispensary, the town having been
"dry" for years. The advocates of the
dispensary won by a vote of 96 to 75. It
is a signifiant fact that the few counties
in this State where there are no dispensaries,
are situated on the North Carolina
border.
: It begins to look like it would pay the
| insurance companies to build water worKs
f. - in Bamberg at their own expense. If we
liad had a water system here the store of
Mr. Thos. Black o*>uld have been saved
I last Wednesday night, and we believe
many of the lire losses of recent years
could have been averted or at least the
. damage materially reduced. The insurance
companies have paid for losses in
the past five years in Bamberg more than
enough, by several thousand dollars, to
build and equip a water system for the
town.
Charleston is certainly getting to be
something of a "warm" town. It is said
that city will endeavor to have the Jeffries-Fitzsimmons
prize fight take place
there. The old town is certainly getting
to be run on the "wide open" plan these
; days, but we hardly think the State au-1
thorities would allow a prize fight to take
place in Charleston. But then we don't
know about that either. The dispensary
law is violated there in the most open
and flagrant manner, and we are not sure
but that the governor would allow the
pugilistic event to be pulled off there, for
he likes to help out the old city.
We have just received a copy of the
annual report of the State Superintendent
of Education. In looking over the statistics
for Bamberg county we notice what
we believe to be a discrimination in favor
I of one district, which gets the lion's share
of all monej' for school purposes. This
is the Denmark school district. Of the
* - constitutional three-mill tax Denmark
- district received last year $1,130.70;
:./ Bamberg district received $730.95. The
x? - amount for Denmark was nearly onefifth
of the total collected in the county.
; Now we know that this tax is apportion
V ed according to enrollment of pupils in
ipt each district, so we will note the figures
of each. Bamberg reported white pupils
208; negro 350. Denmark, white 192;
negro 568. Thus Denmark reports more
negro pupils than the combined number
of white and negro in Bamberg. How is
- - it possible for Denmark to return more 1
| than one-fifth of the negro enrollment of
the county? The fact is there is located
at Denmark a school called the Denmark
Industrial school, a private school, receiving
aid from the North and getting
its pupils from all over the country. It
is not a public school in any sense, yet its
^ enrollment is counted in with that of the ]
jj&| public school of the district. About $900 i
collected in Bamberg district goes to <
schools out of the district, while Denmark
gets practically every dollar paid in hers. fj
^his big negro enrollment enables her al- :
r so to get the greatest share of the dis- :
pensary fund. Small wonder that she <
dan have eight or nine hundred dollars i
^ - left over each year. This is not an inl
justice only to Bamberg district, but to :
j every school district in the county, for if
? this padded enrollment was cut off there |!
would be over $600 more each year to <
ill be apportioned to the schools. *

^ South Carolina at the Exposition, i
The Exposition at Charleston seems to
be attracting a great deal of attention
tfrom the people of the country at large. (
Cincinnati and Chicago have sent large
delegations there to inspect the show.
The governors of Georgia, West Virginia, j '
Indiana have been there with their staffs I I
j i _ 11 . 1
juiu oiuers anu an seem 10 uuue on oue ,
verdict, that it is as creditable an Exposition
as any held in this country.
The legislature of South Carolina and
the governor of the State, have given. <
their endorsement to the Exposition and
urged that the people of the State visit
> the Exposition at least once, and have
. named March 20th as South Carolina day, .
h. with the idea that there should be a
grand rally of South Carolina on the (
' Exposition Grounds on that day.
It is South Carolina's first attempt to
show to the country at large, the industries,
resources and possibilities of the
State. They have been well displayed. ]
Let us all go, and by our presence show
an appreciation and interest in what has !
fepvt' been done.

Josephine Rentz was the daughter of
J. G. and Mary Rentz, and was born
November 4th, 1860. She was happily
married to O. G. Rhode the 31st of October,
1877. She was the mother of ten
children, of which six are living, three
sons and three daughters; four are grown.
She was of a Baptist family and joined
that church when young. She remained
a member until about fifteen years ago
when, raising a family with the mother
in one church and father iu another, she
thought it best for both to be in the same
church, so she joined the Methodist church
at Zion of which her family were members,
until three years ago when they moved to
Buford's Bridge and their membership
was then at Mizpah. This winter Mr.
Rhode moved back to his old home. Mrs.
Rhode was a good woman, a kind mother,
a loving and devoted wife. She loved her
nroflnhpr and rhnrch and Sundav-school:
her seat was always filled unless providence
hindered. Last fall her health began
to give way and it was thought if she
could get back to the old neighborhood
she would soon recover. She improved
for awhile when she began to fail. Leucemia,
the disease with which she was attacked
produced hemmorrhage of the
brain which took her away on January
16th, 1902. On the day following she was
burried at Zion church, the new church,
[t is hard to give our loved ones up but
God's ways are not man's ways, neither
His thoughts our thoughts, so we bow in
humble submision to His will, knowing
that He does all things for the best, knowing
that our loss is her eternal gain. She
was unconscious at the last so she left no
dying testimonial. She died apparently
without pain, her head leaning on Jesus'
breast. She breathed her life out sweetly
there. It reminded me of a lamp with the
ail all burned out: the light grew dim
md dimmer until it finally went out
without a struggle or move of muscle.
'Mother, thou wast mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air of evening.
When it floats among the trees.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in the grave so low,
Thou no more will join our number,
Thou no more our songs shall know.
Dearest niothei', thou hast left us,
Here tliy loss weueepiy ieei.
But 'tis God that liast bereft us,
He can all our sorrow heal.
Vet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled.
Then in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed."

Br. Harrows and the "Bearer."
The Rev. Dr. John Henry Barrows,
president of Oberlin college, who formerly 1
preached to a Chicago congregation, tells (
a little story concerning an experience of j.
his own that may be worth passing along. 1
It was at the time that Dr. Barrows was
making arrangements for the holding of
the great congress of religions here. He i
had an immense correspondence to take J
care of, and found it necessary to employ J
a stenographer. The young lady was
pretty. It is not to be inferied that there
are any but pretty lady stenographers,
but the one employed by Dr. Barrows
was especially comely. i
The doctor fitted up a workroom on 1
the third floor of his house, where he and
the stenographer toiled hard day after (
day, undisturbed by callers and well away i
from the noises of the streets.
The work of preparing for the congress
was still going forward on the 14th of
February, when the doctor's little son be- *
came excited over the sending and reeeiv- ;
ing of valentines. The boy hail been run- 1
niug about the neighborhood handing
love tokens to the children he knew and
many had come to him, when he remembered
that he had a father up on the third
floor, in addition to the One in heaven.
Going to his mother, he proposed that
they send up a valentine.
"Well," said Mrs. Barrows, "it is very
nice of you to remember father. How
would it do for me to write a valentine
for him and let you take it up?"
The boy was delighted at the idea and
his mother wrote upon a sheet of paper: t
"Please kiss the bearer." 1
This she placed in an envelope, which t
was properly sealed and addressed to the <
doctor. The boy started up stairs with ?
his valentine, but he had been running 1
around a good deal during the morning ,
and his legs were weary. When he had \
reached the second floor he met the pretty (
stenographer, who had started out after '
postage stamps or something, and asked
[ if.she would not be kind enough to hand j
the note to his father.
She took the envelope, gave the child a
pat on the cheek and ran back upstairs, ]
where?nerhans nroniDted bv feminine
curiosity?she waited while Dr. Barrows i.
opened his valentine and read, in his |
wife's handwriting: t
"Please kiss the bearer." t
Here is where Dr. Barrows always cuts (
the story off.?Chicago Record-Herald. '
Danger of Colds and La ttrippe. j
The greatest danger from colds and la <
grippe is their resulting in pneumonia. If J
reasonable care is used, however, and i
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken, all 1
danger will be avoided. Among the tens *
of thousands who have used this remedy
for these diseases, we have yet to learn of
a single case having resulted in pneumonia,
which shows conclusively that it
is a certain preventive of that dangerous
malady It will cure a cold or an attack
ef la grippe in less time than any other
treatment. It is pleasant and safe to A

Seven Wounds by One Ball. 1
Richmond, Ya., March G.?To be wound- j
ed seven times by one bullet and to have j
the bullet still in his possession is the remarkable
experience that befell Chesapeake
and Ohio Detective W. I). Duke, at f
his home, 24;> South Laurel street, last .
evening shortly after G o'clock. ?
The shooting was accidental, and while '
Mr. Duke is wounded very painfully, the
physician says he is not dangeronsly
hurt.
Mr. Duke was engaged in cleaning a 1
rifle for one of his i)oys, and his heavy 1
Colt's revolver, that is such a terror to
prowlers upon the property of theCliesa- r
peake and Ohio, lay in a chair back of c
Ti> cn.no wiv lw> L-nneked this wean
on from the chair and upon striking the t
floor it was discharged. c
Mr. Dnke was standing up at the time
and the ball entering his left leg coursed '
upward in the most remarkable way a 1
bullet has ever been known to take. "Going
in and out like a weaver's shuttle, it made
seven wounds and finally ended its 1
career by striking something in Mr.Duke's
pocket and falling down his trouser's leg f
to the floor.
For the Complexion.
The complexion always suffers from
biliousness or constipation. Unless the t
bowels are kept open the impurities from t
the body appear in the form of unsightly
eruptions. De "Witt's Little Early Risers
keep the liver and bowels in healthy condition
and remove the cause of such
troubles. 0. E. Hooper, Albany, Ga., c
says: "I took DeWitt's Little Early P.sers ^
for biliousness. They were just what I *
needed. I am feeling better now than in a
years." Never gripe or distress. Safe, ?
thorough and gentle. The very best pills. 0

JNCLE SAM'S MONEY.
HE SAFEGUARDS THAT HEDGE c
ABOUT ITS MANUFACTURE. - v
I
are With Which Even the Shnvlnjur*
of the Peculiar Paper Itted Are
Handled-?Counting anil RecountIiik
the Treanured Sheet*. '
a
Uncle Sam's paper money has Its c
irtli in the bureau of engraving and
rinting in Washington. Ilere a corps v
f engravers cut its linos into plates a
f steel. Five hundred men and worn- *
a are in one room. It is the largest ^
tinting oliiee in the world. Here are t
:ruck from these plates the notes
hieli we give the butcher and the
tiker. Each steel plate when not in
L-tual use is stored away in a great 1
urglar proof vault to which only the r
igliest officials know the combination. n
t the side of each printing press is a ^
tt e indicator like a bicycle cyclomet,
which keeps tally of every piece of >
[iper money printed. Thus is Uncle e
am kept informed as to the exact 1
umber of paper notes of all denomi- J:
titions which leave his presses daily. ^
If there is any secret which Uncle (
am jealously guards, it is the process
f manufacturing the fiber paper upon
hich his money notes are printed,
[e pays a Massachusetts firm a big 1
rice for it, and this firm does its work v
nder the surveillance of a govern- 1
lent agent. The paper is manufac- c
ired of the finest rags, cleaned, boiled e
ad mashed into pulp. As it is rolled j
ito thin sheets silk threads are introuced
into it by a secret process,
hese are the distinguishing marks c
inking imitation of the paper well ;
igh impossible.
The sheets of paper, already counted
vice and placed in uniform packages c
L the paper mill, are stored in a treas- ^
ry vault and issued to the bureau of
igraviug and printing as wanted. Be>re
leaving the treasury they are
>unted three times more, and the re- 1
iiving official at the bureau must re- c
iipt for them. Then the buudles are *
nwrapped, and the sheets are counted =
venty-eight times by a corps of worni
9 ? 9 ? A? ikni /\? /*1\
len. 'J.ills IS to insure iuai catu punl
gets the recorded number?no more,
r> less. Before any employee of the :
[vision in which this paper is kept can
ave for home each night he must ex- (3
ibit to a watchman at the door a pass r
irtifying that every fragment of every c
leet passing through his fingers has s
i>en accounted for.
If one sheet of this precious paper be j
st. the entire force of men and wo- i
en having access to the room where |
le misplacement has occurred are
*pt in, like so many school children,
find It. Each sheet is issued from
le vault for the printing of a definite
mount of money upon it. If the lost J
leet were intended to ultimately rep
>sent $4,COO worth of notes, the group
' employees to whom the responsible ]
y of its misplacement has been traced
lust make good that amount if they
mnot locate it within a reasonable
me. 1
Twenty-four times more are the
icets containing the printed money
mnted after leaving the presses. Then a
ley are sealed in packages of 1,000,
laced on racks in a drying room of
10 degrees temperature, unpacked,
loroughly examined, smoothed in
jwerful hydraulic presses and packed
i wooden cases. These cases are haul1
to the treasury in an ironclad wag- I
i. Six guards, heavily armed, accom\uy
this wagon whenever it makes a
ip.
No attempt to steal Uncle Sam's mon- f
? while undergoing any of these stages
1 manufacture has yet been detected.
s a matter of fact, the money wouia e
practically useless, for its printing
not completed until after it makes
lis guarded Journey to the treasury,
here the finishing touch is added in
le printing of the colored seal upon
le face of each uote. With the six
waling presses the same precautions
re taken as with the two hundred and
fty big money presses in the other
uilding. Each sheet coming from the
irmer has a row of notes printed upon
. The sheets are put through small
tachines, operated by girls, who cut
Jt the individual notes. Even the
nail strips, falling like shavings from
ieir machines, must be carefully colcted,
sent to the bureau of engraving
ad printing and there boiled into pulp,
n employee found with even one of
lese ribbons of waste paper is liable
imprisonment for fifteen years and
fine of $5,000.
Between these different processes the
iper money has been counted and re)unted
six additional times. Fiually
le single notes are placed in stacks of
X), with all of the blue numbers print1
on their faces in sequence. They
:e then wrapped In paper, labeled,
?aled with red wax and stored in the
reat treasury vaults. Thus each piece
paper money now In circulation has
?en officially counted sixty-three
mes.
