It is extremely disgusting to see a representative of a high-toned South Carolina family hobnobbing in politics with : negroes. * * * It is important that every white man turn out and vote in the ireneral election. The congressman nominate*! from this district is to be opposed by a negro, and it ; is highly important that a large vote be polled. * * * The candidates are already announcing themselves for Chief Justice Mclver's place, and yet he has not resigned or intimated that he would do so. It is true his health is poor and he has reached a somewhat advanced age, still we think it would have looked much better if these men had not been so "previous" with announcements of their aspirations. Fact is, this is a position that should seek the tman anyway, and should not be made the subject of a political scramble. r * We understand city council is willing to give one thousand dollars to enlarge and repair the present school building. While of course even this would be a great improvement, still we think the children entitled to the best we can give them, and surely Bamberg can afford to spend more than this amount 011 a school building. Then, too, the school should be located in the central portion of the town if possible, and not at its present out-of-the-way location. But we shall ' nnmnloiii ninir nnrtliiiior dnnp fnr UUl VI Vi UUJ *v? even a half loaf is better than none at all. To Fr-*K*r Divide Races. The Columbi' Record says Representative John McMaster, of Richland county, is preparing a bill for introduction in the Z coming session of the legislature, providing for separate cells and accommodations ?|p for white and negro prisoners on the v chain gang. Mr. McMaster states that he has seen several instances of white and black prisoners being chained together working p."- the roads, and he thinks it should be |ar stopped. Actress Slapped His Face. I Charlotte, N. C., Oct. 15.?R. O. " Colt, a member of the famous Colt family of gunmakers, who makes his home in Charlotte, was slapped in the face on the streets this afternoon by a pretty actress, Miss Grace Hobart Hanson, a member of i "The Tyranny of Tears" company, which filled an engagement at the Academy to* night. Mr. Colt was walking beside the lady on the street. When she reached the mam entrance to the Central hotel the young woman burst into tears and as suddenly drew back her hand and slapped Colt full in the face. She then quickly entered the hotel while the crowd of traveling men and guests around the hotel entrance applauded her. ^ Only SevciiJLeft. * Mr. B. M. Spratt, of Chester, was in 5 our city Wednesday. Inquiry of him revealed the fact that Col. L. W. Spratt, j formerly of Charleston and later a distin- j guished citizen of Jacksonville Fla., is still living at Jacksonville. It recalled - the fact that of the many signers of the ^ v original Ordinance of Secession only seven survive. The)' are: ilnrvfir plioro \|* ft p j iuvi?vi, vuviuii, v. v/. R. A.

Spratt, Jacksonville, Fla. ?Yorkville Yeoman. ?. A 40.000 Acre Farm. The agriculturist who carefully cultivates 50 or 60 or 80 acres and calls it a farm is likely to look upon a "quarter section"?the regulation homestead of 160 acres?as a large estate; and an entire section (a mile square) he would doubtless regard it as a tremendous area, and a half dozen sections would seem like a whole province. What would such a man think of a farm on which 100 to 150 men are employed; a farm whose farthest corner is 17 miles from the farm house; a farm that requires three book-keepers and stenographers to make a record of its activity. That is the scale on which M. M. Sherman conducts his farm in Central Kansas. He has more than 40,000 acres. Every vear he sells more than 2,500 fat beeves. If a man were to start to ride around his farm on horseback, following the fence line and riding 50 miles a day, he would not make the circuit in two days. If the farm was a square, each side would be almost eight miles. In Switzerland, the ideal republic of the world, the school house is the most elegant of all the buildings in the town?the perfection of mechanical genius without and of artistic talent within. The sight of the building is an inspiration. It is the town's pride. Pupils are taught good manners, ; - . good morals, patriotism, love and respect for the home, for parents, for all in authorit\r, cleanliness of person; proper respect for their fellow-man. The love for the true and the lieautiful is inculcated. Ideals are created. The school is the greatest uplifting force in the republic. A Swiss statesman visiting in America f observed a very high fence around a farmer's orchard. He asked as to the purpose of the fence. He was told that it was to keep out the boys. "What ?" said he, "have you no schools in America ?"? Charles J. Parker of North Carolina. His Compromise. Mr. Potter was giving his son a few words of fatherly counsel as to his treatment of his young wife. "Now when you have any little difference of opinion," said 31 r Potter, in liis most judicial manner, "if you can't persuade Margaret that you are in the right, you must compromise with a good grace." "I'll try to," said the son, respectfully. "I well remember a little experience I had with your mother the summer after i we were married," continued Mr. Potter. "1 wanted to spend six weeks at Saratoga, and your mother preferred to spend the time in takinga trip through Canada. It's thirty odd years ago, but 1 well remember the arguments I had before I compromised." "How did you do it?" asked the son. "We spent live weeks and a half in Canada," said Mr. Potter, "and from Friday night until Monday morning in Saratoga." 31r. Austin Livingston, a prominent farmer living near North in Orangeburg county, committed suicide last Monday by shooting himself with a gun. "Afflictions are often blessings in disguise," says the Manayunk philosopher. "The dog that has no tail has no fear of small 1k>vs with tin cans."?Philadelphia Record 'r~. A Hashful Bridegroom. A friend sends us the following story: "When 1 was young I was the most bashful boy West of the Alleghanics. I wouldn't look at a girl, much less speak to a maiden; but for all that 1 fell desperately in love with a sweet beautiful neighbor girl. It was a desirable match on both sides, and the old folks saw the drift and fixed it up. 1 thought I should die thinking of it. I was a gawky, awkward country lout, about It) years of age; she a refined and fairly well educated girl in a country and at a time when girls had superior advantages, and were, therefore, superior in culture to the boys, i fixed the day off as far as I could have it put. I lay awake in cold perspiration as the time drew near and I shivered with agony as I thought of the terrible ordeal. The dreadful day came; I went through the program somehow in a dazed mechanical way; the guests one by one departed, and my hair began to stand on end. I felt like fleeing to the woods, or spending the night in the barn, or leaving for the West never to return. I was deeply devoted to Sal lie. 1 loved her harder than a mule can kick; but that dreadful ordeal 1 could not, I dare not stand it. Finally the last guest was gone, the bride retired, the family gone to bed, and I was left with the old man. John said he, 'you can take that candle; you will find your ro<#tn just above this. Goodnight John, and may the Lord have mercy on your soul, and with a mischievous twinkle of the eye the old man left the room. When I heard him slam a distant door I staggered to 1113* feet and seized the candle with a nervous grasp. I knew that it could not he avoided, yet 1 hesitated to meet 1113' fate like a man. A happy thought struck me. I hastily climbed the stairs, marked the position of the landing and the door of the bridal chamber. I could not have disrobed in that holy chamber, where awaited me a trembling girl. I therefore decided to make the usual preparations without, blow out the light, open the door and friendly darkness would at least mitigate the horror of the situation. It was soon done, the dreadful moment had come, I was ready, I blew out the light, grasped the door-knob with a deathly and nervous grasp. One moment and it would be over. I leaped within and there, around a glowing liickor3' fire with candle bright13 burning 011 the bureau, was the blushing bride surrounded b3r the .six lovely bridesmaids !" What Theodore Roosevelt Says. An article on "The Presidency," by Theodore Roosevelt, to be published in the November Gth issue of The Youth's Companion, will be of great public interest. When the article was written Mr. Roosevelt had not even been nominated for the Vice-Presidency. Nothing was then further from his thought than that he would soon exercise the great powers which are entrusted to the President of the United States. In view of the circumstances the article possesses an importance more than ordinary-, and it will be eagerly looked for. The number of The Youtlfs Companion containing it, and all the subsequent issues of 1902, will be sent free to newsubscribers from the time their subscription of $1.75 is received for the 19(K> volume. The new subscriber will also receive The Companion Calendar for 190:>, lithographed in twelve colors and gold. Full illustrated Announcement of the new volume and sample copies of The Companion will be sent to 3113- address free. Tiie Youth's Companion, 144 Berkele}- Street, Boston, Mass. THE MILKY WAY. A System Whicli Gives Us a Vague Idea of the Eternity of Space. The Milky Way, the grandest feature of the "firmament which bends above us," the hazy path which so majestic- J ally bands the whole fabric of the skies together, is now known to be composed of a grand aggregation of at least 18,000,000 suns, each as large as or larger than that which makes vege-1 table and animal life an earthly possibility. One is apt when allowing the mind to revert to the contemplation of these misty and indistinct astronomical j subjects to measure their magnitude J or attempt to measure it by making terrestrial comparisons. It is obvious, however, upon more mature reflection that such comparisons are worse than "odious." The bulk of our sun exceeds that of the earth 1,200,000 times, being 000 times greater than that of the bulk of his whole train of planets taken collectively. This being the case, what basis can we use for calculating the magnitude of 18,000,000 suns, each, as I have said before, probably larger than that which gives us heat and light? The infinite number of suns which, taken together, make up the Milky I Way are not set at a uniform distance j from our earth or even from our sun. I In fact, they appear to work altogeth! er independently of either this mundane sphere or our "glorious orb of day." The majority of them are planted at a distance too remote to be even imperfectly measured or understood. Some of them are so near (?) that light, which travels at the rate of 185,OOCf miles per second, would cross the distance between us and them in the period of about an even ten years. Others, however, are so remote that it would take a full thousand years for their light to reach us. A Curious State of Affairs. You must be very cautious how you treat your neighbor in Isle of Jersey, for he can have you arrested on the slightest pretext and if he has a grudge against you can bring about such a calamity by simply giving a fictional account of your misconduct to the nearest lawyer. The latter will demand a fine, and should you decline to pay it he will cause you to be thrown into prison to await trial. Then, even if you are acquitted on the ground that the charge is unfounded, you have absolutely no claim against your persecutor, though you may have suffered a couple of months' imprisonment for nothing.?London Tit-Bits. Barns as a Tax Collector. In the olden days candles were taxed articles, and it was the duty of Burns, as an excise olHcer, to see that the A- ? TI/\ or/in Awn 11 TT uix was nut cwiutu. uc tjcucidii^ looked the other way, however, as when passing through tho kitchen one night at William Lorimer's of Kennishall, where the gudewife was busy making candles, he merely remarked, "Faith, madam, ye're thrang the nicht," and passed Into the parlor.? Blackwood's Magazine. "Am I to understand that a friend sold you that horse?" "Well, I thought he was a friend until he sold me the horse." The Carolina Spartan is in favor of the whipping post for wife heaters. It . argues that the chain gang is not severe enough punishment. The coal strike is officially declared at an end. The miners in convention assembled accepted the arbitration plan, and will go back to work. The commission appointed by President Roosevelt to arbitrate all differences will meet in Washington to-morrow. "Doc" Brown, of Morgans/.eld, Ky., who represents his district in the State legislature, is one of Kentucky's unique characters. To illustrate a point in a recent speech lie gave the followingaccount of his courtship: "Take my advice and never give a woman anything she can't eat, and never make love to her out of an ink bottle. Why, when I courted mv wife, 1 just grabbed her and said : 'Sallie you aie the sweetest thing on earth, ami your ] beauty battles the skill of man and subdues his ferocious nature,' and I got her." J Hot Road To Travel. A drummer <111 horseback lost his way and, bewildered in the Georgia woods, a sign board nailed to a tree attracted his attention. It had been posted where some pious folks had been holding a cumpmeeting, and read: "You are 011 the Way to Ilell." He jogged on; and meeting a farmer driving an ox team, he said to him: "I understand Fin on the road to hell. How far is it from here ?" The farmer eyed him for a few seconds, and noting his mudsplashed boots and haggard appearance, drawled out: "You orter know more erbout it than I do. You look like you'd jest broke loose from thar !" A Typical South African Store. (>. R. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sundays River, Cape Colony, conducts a store typical of South Africa, at which can be purchased anything from the proverbial "needle to an anchor." This store is situated in a valley nine miles from the nearest railway station and about twentylive miles from the nearest town. Mr. Larson says: "1 am favored with the custom of farmers within a radius of mil/10 tr\ m'ir?v nf whnm 1 have I III 1 IJ HUU/O, IV Mmi?j V* .. ? supplied Chamberlain's remedies. All testify to their value in a household where a doctor's advice is almost out of the question. Within one mile of my store the ; population is perhaps sixty. Of these, will)in the past twelve months, no less [ than fourteen have been absolutely cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This must surely be a record." For sale by Bamberg Pharmacy. Not Bryan Nor Depew. It is reported that ex-Senator Hill, of New York, a man who is supposed to be without the sense of humor, was receutly chatting with a party of friends in a New York hotel, when this occurred between him and one of them: "Do you tLiink Bryan will run again?" "That reminds me," replied the Senator, "of a freight wreck down near Washington. Some box cars were piled up by a collision aud as the wrecking crew got to work a tattered and terrified man crawled out, examined his limbs to see if any bones were broken, and began to limp down the track. " 'Hold on, Willie" cried one of the crew. 'We'll be fixed up soon.' "'This is the second time I've been wrecked,' replied the hobo. 'Don't you think I know when I hive enough ? I'm no Bryan.'" This story fits very well and is also a reminder that many good stories are told on the hoboes. One of the best of them and one strongly suggested by the above, is that of the Wille who applied at the lady's house for his dinner and was given a hand-out. He finished it in her presence, wiped his mouth on his coat sleeve and started to move off. "Hold on, there!" she exclaimed; "ain't you going to say anything" "Madam," he replied, still moving off, "who do you take me for? Do you think I am Chauncey Depew ?"?Charlotte Observer. Stricken With Paralysis. Henderson Grimett, of this place, was stricken with partial paralysis and completely lost the use of one arm and side. After being treated by an eminent physician for quite a while without relief, my wife recommended Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and after using two bottles of it he is almost entirely cured.?Geo. R. McDonald, Man, Logan county, W. Va. Several other very remarkable cures of partial paralysis have been effected by the use of this liniment. It is most widely known, however, as a cure for rheumatism, sprains and bruises. Sold by Bamberg Pharmacy. "The Derndest Fool I Eyer Seen." The late Sol Smith Russell often told of an encounter with the native of a onenight-stand where he and his company had acted the previous evening. Russell and his companions were waiting the train when an elderly chap with a yarn jacket and in overalls walked up, eyed the star a minute or two and asked: "Be you the feller that cut up capers at Parker's Hall last night ?" "My company and I gave a performance there last evening?yes," replied Russell, politely. "I thought so 1 I was there and I had to laugh sometimes. I wanted to tell you about my boy. He's just your way?ain't no good for work. Won't stick to anything, but wants to play clown and crack jokes all the time.

Old Jacob Hays was a well known character in the legal world a few years ago. lie had spent most of his life as crier to the New York sessions. One vfry warm afternoon he reclined in his chair and fell fast asleep. While the recorder was addressing the jury Hays began to snore rather loudly, whereupon an otlicer whispered in his ear: "Uncle Jacob, some one is snoring and \ disturbing the court." Up jumped Hays, and in a loud tone of voice exclaimed: "Silence! There must be no snoring in . court." Then, turning to the recorder, he remarked: "You can go on now without interruption." It is also related of him that ou another occasion, when drowsily lounging in his s chair during a serious and monotonous ; trial, he was awakened by a sudden and , terrilic peal of thunder and shouted out: "Silence!
