Did the Exposition pa}' Charleston? If so, how? We would be glad for the Charleston papers to answer this, giving facts and figures. * * * And now some people and officials want the legislature to appropriate a large sum of money for an exhibit at the St. Louis Exposition. We think it high time the legislature quit wasting money on such things. The financial condition of the State is bad enough now. ? v . V Bamberg is going to have a better graded school building, and that too in a few months. The plan is to enlarge and improve the present building. The matter will take definite shape in a short while, for every one realizes the necessity of increasing our school facilities right away. SeW * * * The statements of high State officials as to the depleted condition of the State |r-: treasury does not fit in very well with the arguments used in favor of completing the State house and appropriating $o0,000 to the Charleston Exposition. It is time / to quit spending money for show and i parade. The people have had enough of V Booker Washington preaches against social equality of the negro and whites at his school in Alabama, and yet he pracvtices it by sending his daughter to a white college for girls in Boston. However, the ~f girl was socially ostracised there, and P very rightly so. Mixed schools and social equality appear to be somewhat distasteful even to the New Euglanders. *** ' Everybody in Bamberg county should not only talk good roads, but be willing to be taxed in order that we may have good highways. It is said by persons P * from other counties that they can tell the Bamberg county lines by the admirable j ~ manner in which our roads are worked. ~ But we have many sand beds which should be clayed. This will be expensive, , but it is the best kind of economy in the : end. We are doing well along the line ' of better roads, but there is still room for improvement. Several new roads are needed to shorten distance and get lighter travel, and all who are interested should S|A give right of way and render every assist|f ance possible, for good highways benefit ||p{ every citizen. Editor W. H. Wallace, of the Newberry . Observer, does not think he was treated fairly by the publishing committee in the :: . recent award of the contract for publisliing the Southern Christian Advocate. It seems the contract had been let to Rev. G. II. Waddell, who will have the printing done at The Herald office in Spartanburg. Without going into the merits of ; . the controversy between Mr. Wallace and the committee, we may say that the man who has the contract is likely to have an ^ . elephant on his hands. We note with /; A regret that no publisher gets a second contract, and we surmise the reason is they do not want it. There is little if any money to be made out of it after paying an editor $2,000 a year and other per" quisites. *** The coal strike is in a fair way to be settled now it seems, and on account of the approach of winter and the scarcity of fuel, it is to be hoped that the contest will shortly end. But it should be settled ?V right. The miners have demonstrated ?v that they can prolong the strike almost indefinitely, they having ceased work last V May. There are great and grave issues iC at stake; there are of course two sides to the question and the whole matter should be settled with equal fairness and justice ^ to all parties concerned. But there must FcV be something radical!}' wrong with labor conditions all over the United States. W All over the country and in many branches of industry, strikes are becoming very numerous recently. Hot Shot from Sam Jones. Recently the Rev. Sam Jones gave the Elks a severe roast from the.pulpit of an Atlanta church. Among other things he said: "Now, if Atlanta hasn't a nice bill of fare for the coming week, I'll give it up. : A dirtier thing never struck your city, except the Elks themselves. Nothing can hurt them; they can't get any dirtier. What would you pour on a skunk to make , it stink? They already out stink any ( stunk that ever did stink. I had rather .my boy was in the penitentiary wearing stripes and serving a sentence than to be an Elk. There is nothing on God's earth that is more debauching to the youths of ! the present day than the Elks. 'TSTniv if vnn rlirtv Inner /lovile wont Hv . to defend yourselves I'll surrender the platfonn. There are a few respectable men in the order. If they didn't have ' them they couldn't run. I was denounced ! in Savannah as a liar for what I said ' about the Elks over at Waycross. When ' I got to Savannah I called them to taw. 1 " I told them that they were incubated by a drunken barkeeper and hatched out in a ^ beer keg. "A Christianity that will stand by and ' permit such a thing is not any sort of Christianity, and the preachers who stand 1 by and see the thing done ain't fit to preside over a pig pen. "Some of you poor devils in Atlanta, your wives don't know where you stand. If I was a woman who had a husband i like some of you, I'd take you down 1 across my knee and give it to you until 1 slippers got scarce at. >ut the house. 1 "I'd then take the baby out of the cradle i and ram you in it and have the baby to I |?- stand there and rock you to sleep. If you i wouldn't hush, I'd pull your teeth and 1 wean the baby and nurse you." < At the close of the service Mr. Jones 1 f asked everyone to stand up who would ] say that in the future they expected to 1 stand for God and the right.

'It's what makes the tooth hurt when ou have the toothache." This created a laugh and a number of >ther answers followed, when a little girl, vho is usually depended upon to give a eply to almost every question, raised her >ointed finger and said: 1 "I know the answer, teacher; I can tell rou." "You mav answer, Emily," said the eacher. "What is a nerve?" "When any one is too fresh my mama says, "Oh, what a nerve?" The lesson ended after a desperate iffort to restore order.

Some Refer to Size, Some to Shape and Othera to Color?Few Tobacco I'zers Know Them Apart, and They Are Much Misused. Whenever the average untutored tobacco lover wishes to indicate to his envious friends that he is in possession of a cigar of the first quality, he usually says that he has a perfecto. By perfecto he means the best cigar obtainable, and as a rule he applies the name to all products of the Havana factories. But in truth, declares an intelligent writer in the Kansas City Journal, a good many cigars that never saw Havana are genuine perfectos, and a good many made in the most famous factories of the Cuban capital are not. The word, as a matter of fact, does not refer to the quality of a cigar at all. It is simply u term used to describe the shape. A perfecto may cost $1, and it may cost 2% cents. There are half a dozen cigar terms thus misused by the average smoker, and there are several times as many words of the same sort whose meaning he Is utterly unable to fathom. What native, corn fed smoker, for instance, knows the difference between a panetela and a Reina Victoria 1 And how many know whether there is a real difference between a maduro and an oscuro? Yet all of these terms are the common property of cigar makers all over the world. Like many cigar brand names, they are of Spanish origin, but the wanderings of Havana tobacco and Cuban cigars have taken them into all countries and all languages. The great majority of cigars are put up fifty in a box, with thirteen on the top row, twelve on the row next to the top, thirteen on the next and twelve on the bottom row. When a londres cigar is packed 100 in a box la two bundles tied with a ribbon, it becomes a Reina Victoria, which is Spanish for Queen Victoria. Early in the late queen's reign a Cuban manufacturer Invented this method of packing and called the resultant bundle after Great Britain's sovereign. The name has remained ever since. The word perfecto Is a term indicating a certain shape In cigars. A perfecto is a smoke having what is generally called the "cigar shape"?that is to say, it is swelled near the end which is lighted and tapers gradually clown to tho point, or head. Tie end of a cigar which a smoker puts in his mouth is known among cigar makers as the head. The other end, that which is lighted, Is called the tuck. When, as often happens in a perfecto, tho tnplr is vprv small it is onllod fl needle tuck or feather tuck. All others follow these lines more or less, closely. A thin, straight cigar, with little more thickness in the middle than at the tuck, is called a panetela. The average panetela is slightly longer than a perfecto, though the matter of size has nothing to do with the shape. Panetelas are esteemed because they burn more regularly and are usually letter because more easily made. The virtue of the perfecto is that its smaller tuck lights more readily, ard Its more artistic curves give it greater beauty. A londres is a sort of cross between the perfecto and the panetela. It is a perfecto from the head to the thickest part, and from there on to the tuck it Is betwixt and between. Usually the slope from the thickest pc rt to the tuck has a gradual curve. The tuck fis a rule is as large as that of a panetela. A partegas is a cigar shaped much like a londres, except that the slope from the thickest part to the head is usually not so rounded. It is a shape riot now ;as fashionable as it used to be, and even when cigars are genuine partegas the box is seldom stamped with the name. A conchas is a small blunt cigar. As a rule it is a very satisfactory siaoke, and usually it lasts as long as a perfecto. This is because that thin tuck of the latiter burns down rapidly. The c-i>era is a very small cigar of any standard shape. It derives its name from the fact that it Is designed for short smoke between the acts, and very often it is called on entr-acte. The brevas is a large, clumsy cigar, good few an hour's puffing. The largest size of all is the Napoleon. Sometimes Havana Napoleons are six or seven inches In length. The blacker ones are positively terrifying. The better grades of cigars are usually made in several shapes and sizes. There may be, for instance, the La Flor de Habana perfectos, ther La Flor fle Habana panetelas, the* La Flcr de Habana operas, the La Flor de Habana partegas and the La Flor de Habana conchas. The label is the (tame on all of the sizes and shapes, bu t on the front of the box the name ol: the shape is stamped. On one end of each box of cigars will be noted another word. Sometimes it is Colorado, sometimes It is claro and it other times it is maduro. This Indicates the color of the cigars within, or, is uninformed smokers say, the 'strength." The lightest of all cigars ire a yellowish brown. They are called claros. Next in order come the Colorado claros, which are a darker brown, ind then come the colorados, which ire al?ut midway between black and vellow. After the colorados come the Colorado maduros,. which are a dark brown, and then the maduros, which ire well nigh black. Formerly another color was in vogue. This was the oscuro, and it was a shiny black. But of late the fashion has been for light dears. and the word oscuro has almost dropped out of use.
