others he lacks the moral courage to do

kAs an indication of the interest Bamberg
county's citizens are taking in educational
matters, it is gratifying to note
that in three school districts elections
were held recently on the question of
levying an extra tax for school purposes,
and in each district the tax was voted
almost unanimously. We are glad to see
this spirit, and congratulate our people
on their progressiveness along educational
lines.
Last Sunday afternoon Mr. W. T.
Faucett was arrested at the depot, just as
he was about to take the train for Augusta,
on the charge of acting as labor agent
without license. It was claimed that Mr.
Faucett was here hiring hands for the
King mill in Augusta, and the warrant
was issued at the instigation of the
management of the cotton mill here.
Some excitement was created by the
arrest. The preliminary hearing was to
- have been held Monday afternoon at three
o'clock, but the matter was settled by Mr.
Faucett signing an agreement not to
make any further attempts to get labor
in Bamberg. He was thereupon released
from custody, and left fc>r Augusta Monday
night.
Blackberries are ripe and the negroes
are in clover. In fact, we can all be glad
now.
Some people around here seem to imagine
that a newspaper man never needs
any money.
Reports from all sections are to the
effect that the general outlook for crops
is promising.
On account of the rain of last Saturday,
the Boston Photo Co. will make sittings

County Chairman H. C. Folk will soon
call the' county Democratic executive
committee together for the purpose of
arranging for the county campaign, etc.
We do not think the people of Bamberg
county would complain if both campaign
parties gave us the go by. Our people
are too busy with their crops to bother
with politics.
The ladies of the Baptist church will give
an ice cream festival at the Fitting School
chapel Friday evening, for the benefit of
the parsonage. The public is invited.
Go and help out a good cause.
Those interested in erect ing the monument

Monday, notwithstanding the fact that it
was salesday. The board of supervisors
if registration were in session. There
was only one public sale, that by the
Master of the house and lot in town of

die Evening Press, published at Grand
Rapids, Michigan, in which there was
arinted a glowing tribute to "Stonewall"
iackson, written by an ex-confederate
soldier, who was a member of Jackson's
trmy. That a Northern paper should
publish this tribute is significant, and
shows that, in some sections at least, the
war is over, and that the great men of
aoth sides are receiving the tributes due

Mr. Frank C. Pooser, who is interested

Death of Mr. S. T. Inabinet.
Monday afternoon a telegram was received
by Dr. J. B. Black, telling of the
death of Mr. S. T. Inabinet, which sad
event occurred that day at his home in
Asheville, N. C., where he had lived for
nearly two years. The burial is to take
place at the Denmark cemetery this
(Wednesday) morning at ten o'clock.
Although it was rumored here and at
Denmark on Saturday and Sunday -that
Mr. Inabinet was dead, many of our
people thought it must be a mistake, for
it was only a tew months ago that he was
among us looking hale and hearty. The
news was that his death was caused by
consumption and his healthy appearance
made many of us skeptical "as to the
trutn ot ine nrst rumors 01 ins ueaiu.
Mr. Inabinet was about fifty years old,
and leaves a wife but no children. He
was born between this town and Denmark,
at the place where he lived until
his removal to Asheville. He has a number
of relatives in this community, and
many will be sad over his death. He was
a genial, jolly fellow, always in a good
humor, and his cheerful disposition made
him many friends.
"You look preoccupied Hiram," saic
his wife.
"I feel as if I were going to have the
grip," replied Mr. Jyner.
And he put on his hat and went dowr
town to join another secret societyChicago

During the past two sessions our
school huff been enjoying the fruitful and
abiding labor of Mr. C. F. Wertz, of Newberry,
S. C. The first year that he came
in our midst betook charge of the primary
department of our school, which he managed
with skill and success, but on account
of his intellectual ability and training he
was destined not to remain in the rear,
but come to the front. Consequently he
was elected principal of our school for the
past session. It is without the slightest
>?Pcit?t.ion that we are duty bound to speak
highly of the manner in which he has
successfully autl highly creditably managed
his school duties for the past session.
Below is given a list of the names of those
who made an average of 90 and over in
their daily grades and examination at the
close of the last scholastic month. These
names appeared on the honor roll: Eddie
Ruthward Bishop, Harry Ehrhardt,
Walter Hubert Chisolm, W illiam Clem
mens Carter, Julius F. Ehrhardt, Lionell
Clayton, Ned Ehrhardt, James Benedict
Ehrhardt, Herman McKissick, LeRoy
Westerlund, Arthur Powell, Corine McKissick,
Harry Bert Powell, Flossie Murdaugh,
Sallie Carter, Willie McKissick,
Egbert Allen Burnett, Sidney Padgett,
Marion Bishop, Ryan Clayton, Harry
Earle Copeland. Although these names
deserve especial mention, still we must
not fail to say that the majority of the
school attained an average of over eighty.
I believe that there were only two who
failed on their examinations out of an enrollment
of fifty, consequently we must
say: "Well done thou good and faithful
servant."
The commencement season is upon us,
and the voice of the sweet girl graduate
is heard in the land.

BUSINESS AMERICAN ART.
Not Mathematics, but u Matter of
Creative Imagination.
"The idea of business in a country
that has reached the height of its development
is a dry r.s dust affair," says
Hutchins Hapgood in Aicslee's. "It is
the miserable system of keeping what
one has, a system in which the temperament
and the imagination do not play
a part. The American, however, puts
imagination into business. Business is
the art of this country. To the American
of affairs there are in his work excitement,
charm ar.d color. To him it is
not a matter of mathematics, but of
the creative imagination. Great processes.
great inventions, great corporations?the
organization of such things
requires genius.
"Nobody is stupider, more avaricious
and more economical in a small way
than a French peasant or a German
hausfrau. Nobody is less avaricious
and more economical in a big way than
a great American inventor, financier
or business man. Through his brains
production becomes cheaper and consequently
more abundant, and more good
to the common people thereby accrues
than by all the small savings ever made
since civilization began. It is better to
be able to make than to save, and to
make much a large outlay in money,
energy and brains is necessary. To
save pennies is a sign of commercial
incompetence and national decline.
"When an Individual or a nation begins
a system "of housekeeping on a
small scale, it is a sign that the lifeblood
is ebbing. Old people, drier and
less resourceful than young people, are
notoriously more economical. They, like
old nations, want to hang on to what
they have rather than strive for more.
The wisdom of the French peasant
consists in keeping down his expenditure
and the size of his family to a
point wher^ the nation as a whole is
weakened. As Bacon said, 'He that
hath a state to repair may not despise
6mall things,' and perhaps the decay of
the country is tbe cause rather than
the effect of French economy. Anyway
the two things hang closely together."
A FAMOUS PAINTING.
One Figure In a Japanese Picture
Visible Only at Night.
Some of the finest Japanese paintings
in Washington are in the legation
building of that nation, the Japanese
embassador being a collector and connoisseur
of the art of his native land.
The Japanese style of painting is altogether
uulike that of Europe and
America, and the reason Japanese
painters are able to produce color effects
that are the despair of European
and American artists is owing to
the pigments they use, a large number
of which are secret and unknown out
siae or japuu.
In Japan there is a very famous
painting which no amount of money
could buy and which is the masterpiece
of a famous artist who lived
several centuries ago. Viewing the
painting in the daytime, one is disappointed.
It shows nothing more than
a very commonplace landscape, unrelieved
by mountains or hills. As soou,
however, as night falls one begins to
realize the peculiar merit of the picture,
for upon the canvas there appears
a luminous water buffalo (caribou)
browsing upon the grass at its
feet.
The artist who painted this picture
discovered a certain phosphorescent
paint, which he obtained from the bodies
of certain mollusks, or fish, and
with which he painted the buffalo that,
invisible In daylight, is luminously
brilliant in the dark. The secret of
making this paint died with the artist,
fho nature, which hanes In a Bud
dhist temple, has proved a fertile source
of superstition, the priests claiming that
the buffalo hides away in the shade
behind some trees in the picture during
the heat of the day, coming out at
night to graze.?Washington Post
Flah That Kill Each Other.
One of the queerest sharks Is the
thrasher, which has the upper lobe of
its tail so much developed as to equal
in length the body of the fish itself.
This tail is controlled by powerful
muscles and Is used as a weapon.
Swordfish and thrasher sharks have
been seen on many occasions to attack
whales in concert and kill them, the
sharks lashing their victims with their
tails while the swordfish pierce them
from below. On the other hand, sharks
themselves are often killed by porpoises,
which will surround a shark
and lash the enemy to death with their
flukes.
Making Him Cheerful.
She was a woman who was methodical
in her discipline.
"Now, Willie," she said, "you have
disobeyed, me, but I won't whip you
now because we're going to have company
for dinner, and I want you to
look bright and cheerful and pleasant
but after they've gone I'm going to

ever had. Now, hurry up and get
dressed, for I want you to look nice
and happy."?Chicago Post
A Bad Ciue.
"I see that the bees have ta visit
3,000,000 blossoms in order to gather a
pound of honey."
"Foolish bees. One trip to my sweetheart's
lips would be quite enough."?
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Not Too Liberal.
Parishioner?The people are complaining
that you are too liberal.
Unorthodox Pastor?Oh, that's a
mistake, my dear sir, a great mistake.
I am just as stingy as the rest of you.

Wealth doesn't always bring happiness,
but it can generally furnish a
pretty good imitation.?Somerville Journal.

Killed His Wife fi>r a Bnrglar.
Decatur, Ala., Jane 2.?J. K. Boggs
to-night blew out his wife's brains, mistaking
her for a burglar. He had been
awakened by his wife and told by her
that a burglar was in the kitchen. Boggs
got up and in the dim light saw the figure
of a man. After asking three times who
it was he fired at the supposed burglar,
killing his wife instead.
