The provision crops of this country will be much better this year than last, and, as a rule, our farmers will be in good financial condition. Merchants and others who do a time business tell us collections so far are exceptionally good, while trade is above the average. X- -X* * Really, we begin to believe like our good brother Holmes, of the Barnwell People, that the Seaboard Air Line road from Augusta to Charleston will never be built. He has had his doubts about the matter for a long time, and it looks very much like the road is far from beiug a reality. The cheek of some people is amazing. After his drunken, disgraceful record as mayor of Atlanta a few years ago, J. G. Woodward had the face to run for the office again last week. But Capt. Evau P. Howell, formerly of the Atlanta Constitution, was easily elected over two opponents. * * * High taxes never hurt nor cause discontent where the money derived from taxation is wisely and economically expended. Show us a town which has a high rate of taxation, levied for the purpose of public necessities and improvements, and we'll show you a prosperous municipality and community. * * * "Lest we forget." Bamberg needs a suitable graded school building. Our school has reached a crisis which must be met. It may be argued that we caunot afford to erect a new buiidiug just now, hut the real problem we must face is what is to become of the school if we don't build. Can we afford not to make this investment for the present and future * * welfare of the town ? * * * If we were going to give advice to our T>/-k!ir?rr mon no tn liAW t/? invPCt money, we would tell them to buy farming lauds. Ever since the writer can remember the price of farming lands in South Carolina has been gradually increasing. Lands which could have been bought a few years ago at $3 to $5 an acre now sell for $10, and we confidently believe that lands will not not be so cheap again as they are now, and the man seeking a good investment will do well to put his money into country real estate. Taxation is low, it can't burn up or get away, and the annual rental pays a big dividend on the money invested. v A glance at the count}' treasurer's tax notice, showing the great number of school districts in this county which have special levies, shows how much alive our people are on the subject of good schools. There are few if any districts in this county now but which have a special levy to supplement the three mill constitutional tax. Good schools and good roads are the two things most sought after now by our people, and The Herald modestly, claims credit for some part of this. The present management has persistently urged the importance of these two great i gy factors in the upbuilding of our county, 1 and truly rejoices over the great improve- ! p|:v^ < meets made in the past few years. All \ things considered Bamberg is one of the 1 very best counties in the State. We have 1 good roads, good schools, a low rate of town and county taxes and farming lands are cheap. We cordially invite good citizens to locate with us. There is room for much more population here. * * * Thp nt.t.nnd?inrv?nt. frrfulp<l crhnnl hac increased so much that the building will not accommodate all the pupils at one : time. The rooms are so small that the two ] grades assigned to a teacher cannot oceu- py the rooms together. Mr. Calhoun in { order to solve the problem has resorted to A half sessions for the pupils in four grades. The fourth grade taught by Mrs. Mur- 1 daugh will recite continually and be dis- ' missed at 11.30, then the fifth grade will t come and stay until the close. The second grade taught by Miss McMillan will 1 be dismissed at 11.30, and then the third ' < grade will come in. Mrs. Murdaugh has 49 pupils enrolled, Miss McMillan has 71. c There are still others to come. This is the . best that can be done until the people of * Bamberg provide adequate room for the seating of all that come. It does seem that the time has come for the people to act. Can they not see that it is of su- f preme interest to them to provide sutlie- t ient accommodation for their children at t' school? Why delay? The building must come some day. There is no good in ,l waiting. i, The Newberry Observer tells the fol- h lowing on Dr. G. R. Harding: "Considerable amusement was created * ou Wednesday by a posted advertisement. 11 Just outside the temporary olfice of a b dentist the following notice in large ^ letters was posted against the wall: Dr. G. 11. Harding, a The Painless Tooth Extractor, ai Is Now Here. Come In.' "By pure accident the dentist had pasted his notice over the unner nart of one of a the bills of 'The Lonely Widow,' which tl appeared recently in the opera house, and a immediately below the dentist's an- a nouneetnent was the following in con- b spicuous letters: h 'One Solid Scream From Start to Finish.'" il T ANY CHURCH or parsonage or insti- 01 tution supported by voluntary contribu tiou will be given a liberal quantity of * the Longman A: Martinez paints when- J11 ever they paint.

Bikle is keeping the depot for Mr. Boone this week. Alouzo Rentz, who lives on Mr. G. \V. Hughes's place, had a child only a few months old given three teaspoonfuls of carbolic acid, and the way it happened is related as follows: The" mother of the child had gotten a lad of five years to stay with her and nurse the baby, and to-day during the temporary absence of the mother the little five year old child thought he would give the baby a dose of medicine, as it was restless, so he climbed up on a cupboard and brought down a bottle of carbolic acid and administered three spoonfuls to the infant.

G.?On last Wednesday at noon the Citadel began her 45th session, and it is gratifying to the graduates and friends of this famous and old historical institution to know that, perhaps, never before has there been a liner opening and brighter prospects for the coming year. When Sergeant Condon,the oldest living veteran of the U. S. army?one of four warssounded the "assembly" and roll call was over, it was found that only live cadets were not there to answer "here." Senior 1st Lieutenant Julian H. Collins, now at the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Senior 1st Sergeant Jas. W. Riley, of Bamberg, now at West Point, and Cadet Groeschel have received honorable discharges, while Cadet Roberts is away on sick furlough, and Cadet Still I. has been granted a "permit to retire." The recruits began to arrive Wednesday and matriculated Thursday. They are gathered together from all parts of the State and from several of the adjoining States. Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, and West Virginia are well represented. Regular lectures began Thursday morning and the battalion of old cadets and recruits went to drilling Friday evening. The recruits will be instructed in squads by non-commissioned officers under the surveillance of the commissioned officers. They are taught the simpler movements in the school of the soldier lirst and gradually acquire a knowledge in the more complicated schools of the company and battalion. Until the army officer detailed by the war department arrives, Capt. Cantey will act as commandant. It is rumored that we are soon to be equipped with the Krag-Jorgensen rifle and are to receive a battery of modern guns and heliographs. Tlio nlil MnrimrfipLiv: nmv in use are <??t. of date and keeps the cadets a little behind the times. The building has been repainted and is now one of the most attractive places in the city. Visitors are received by some member of the guard and will be glad to show them over the building with its many beautiful tablets, to the memory of her fallen heroes, the old cannon known as "Bloody Mary" used in the Mexican war, the famous old powder magazine and other things of interest.

A youth was engaged as junior clerk l>y a linn of lawyers and by way of tilling in the time and testing his worth on his tirst day he was told to write a letter demanding payment of a debt from a client who was long in arrears. To the great surprise of his employers a check for the amount arrived next day. They sent for the young clerk and asked him to produce a copy of the letter which had such an astonishing result. The letter ran as follows: "Dear Sir: If you do not at once remit payment of the amount which you owe us we will take steps that will amaze you." Look Out For Fever. Biliousness and liver disorders at this season may be prevented by cleansing the system with DeWitt's Little Early Risers. These famous little pills do not gripe.

There is the man behind the counter and the man behind the gun, the man behind the buzz saw and the man behind his sou; the man behind the times and the man behindjhis rents, the man behind the ploughshares and the man behind the fence; and the man behind the whistle and the man behind the bars, and the man behind the kodak and the man behind the cars; the man behind his whiskers and the man behind his fist, and everything behind a thing is entered on the list. But they have skipped another fellow of whom nothing has been said?the fellow who is even or just a little ahead: who always pays for what he gets and whose bill is always signed?he is a blamed sight more important than the man who is behind. All we newspaper people and merchants and the whole commercial clan are indebted for our existence to this honest, noble man. He keeps us all in business and his town is never dead?and so you take your hat off to the man who is ahead. ?Orange, Va., Observer. His Life In Peril.
