The Presbyterian minister in Syracuse, New York, who gave up the pastorate of a church paying a yearly salary of $3,000 to accept a poor church at a salary of $800 a year, is a rare specimen ui Humanity. He goes to the weak church 111 the hope of building it up. Would that there M ere more like him. * * * A close friend of President Roosevelt says that while Teddy is an avowed candidate for the nomination for president, he does not want the votes of negroes in the South, as they represent only the skeletou of a party and have no voting strength in the general election. This statement is hardly in keeping Mith the president's recent actions in regard to Southern appointments. x * * * The State has appropriated $20,000 for the erection of a statue to the memory of Gen. Wade Hampton. As this appropriation depends upon the raising of $10,000 more by popular subscription, we are afraid the monument will never be built. The money could be raised by earnest, persistent effort, but this does not appear to be forthcoming, and there seems to be no organization at work soliciting the popular subscriptions. * . * * Senator Tillman is receiving many complimentary notices from the newspaper on his recent speech in the Senate, , in which he referred to the race question in the South. It was a strong, calm and dispassionate address, full of facts and strong argument, and will do much good. Our people here are highly pleased over the speech, and rejoice that the Senator has dropped his fierce and fiery style of addressing the Senate. W- * * * We see it stated that Senator Jno. L. McLaurin has been interviewed by a New York paper, and in discussing the negro question in the South he is quoted as saying that he is M illing to concede political rights to the negro, but never social equality. It is also rumored that the Senator will practice law in NeM' York after his term in the Senate expires. If he is correctly quoted on the negro question, we would advise him to stay in the North or rather not return to South Carolina to live. --t * * * A great deal is being said about adverj tisiug the resources of our State and at* 1-*:? tracting settlers ana new popuiauuu, um we must believe that money spent in this way is simply thrown away for people will be afraid to move to a State where human life is as cheap as it is now in South Carolina. Instead of advertising ' our resources, rather let us exert ourselves to make the SLatdafe?f?pfacg-to Tive in, -?^ so that we can offer protection of life and property to new settlers. If we can give South Carolina the reputation abroad of a peaceful and law-abiding State, where crime is punished, no matter who is the offender, then we will have done more to attract a desirable class of population . than all this advertising of our resources at Expositions could possibly do. What is it Coming To? Day by day we are met with the news, (but it is getting so common that it is scarcely news any more), that some human life has been taken, not by some wild beast rendering the body to pieces, no, it were better if it was some ignorant beast, and not by an intelligent human being. That human life is becoming cheap in our State is a most deplorable fact. Perhaps one of the saddest and most striking things which has occurred in our State for some time happened in Spartanburg county last week. A school teacher in some way, whether wilfully or not we may not say, shot and fatally wounded a pupil of his school. This is indeed enough to set us to thinking. What does it mean ? Is it that our school . rooms are not to be spared the sight of witnessing d^eds w hich disgrace even the ??'^basest saloons? Must they too have some one's life blood poured out on their floor? Can it be that conditions have reached the point when our school teachers must arm themselves with deadly weapons when they would, even justly, administer punishment? Surely our pupils and students have not become so entirely corcojupt and unruly that the schoolmaster mast take great precautious lest he be mobbed, yet it seems that to a certain degree it is true. On the other hand, is it that the boys . and girls of our schools are in danger of losing life if they resent beiug puuished when they do not deserve it ? Have our teachers come to the point where they will debase themselves by carrying weap* ons of deadly defense to be used in case a pupil objects to being punished, whether he deserve it or not ? We mention this in hope that it may cause some few at least to think. May the time be very rear when not only our schools but every phase of life in the old Palmetto State shall be free from this greatest of evils?murder.

Editor Thk Bamukko IIkkai.d:?Frequent inquiries are made bv persons who wish to know the total indebtedness of the county, also that of the town and school district No. 14. The town debt refers to the debt for the court house as 1 understand it. 1 am not sufficiently posted to give the information, hence I would be glad for you to do it, as I presume that you are authority on the subject. In your last issue you say that the county debt is still Increasing. "This remark is rather alarming, and people wish to be enlightened to that extent that they may know "where we are at." T. J. Counts. Bamberg, S. t\, February 28, 1903. [While the editor of this newspaper is not as well posted on the financial condition of the city and county as he might be, and is by no means authority' on the subject, we will endeavor to answer the queries of Col. Counts and in the order j in which they are asked. First, as to the total indebtedness of the county. These figures cannot be given exactly. Treasurer Folk is out of town at present, therefore we cannot get the exact amount, but our best information is that the county owes between eight and nine thousand dollars. The only indebtedness of the town is for the court house and jail. This is in the shape of a bonded debt, and was ~ *?* 11 ? (l/vllorc Ac Ul lglUillJ > JLllliCCtl tuuusitlivi uuiiuiu. one bond has been paid each year ever since the bonds were issued, this debt is now something like $10,000, and the debt is being paid as fast as it fulls due. Iu reference to Bamberg school district No. 14, it does not owe anything. There is a debt of $000 for the present graded school house, secured by a mortgage of the building and lot. All the old back indebtedness, which was piled up on the district i several years ago, has been paid off in the past two years. Now, as to the expenses of the county. Col. Counts makes a mistake in saying we stated that the county debt was increasing. We said that the running expenses of the county were increasing each year, but upon investigation it looks as if the debt was getting larger as well. However that may be, we meant that it was costing more each year to run the county, and it is. Salaries are being continually increased. The salaries of the county now amount to $1,600 a year more than they did in 1898, just after the county was formed. If salaries had been kept at the original figures we would have saved enough to about pay the present indebtedness of the county. The expenses have been increasing every year since the county was organized, and the tax levy was not raised to meet these additional expenditures. As the first expenses of the county were figured on a three mills basis, and yet they were increased every year, is it any wonder that we got in debt? The tax levy was not increased until last year. We give below the salaries for 1898 and 1903, in order that the taxpayers may see the difference: 1898 1903 Auditor $700 $800 Treasurer 600 800 Clerk of Court 150 300 ? - ? OSA Sheriff uw W\j Supervisor 600 800 Clerk of County Board 150 250 Magistrate at Denmark 125 300 Constable at Denmark 140 200 Magistrate at Bamberg 125 275 Constable at Bamberg 140 225 Magistrate at Olar 25 110 Constable at Olar 25 100 Magistrate at Ehrhardt 100 100 Constable at Ehrhart 100 100 Magistrate at Fishpond 100 90 Constable at JFishpond 100 90 $25 per year each was then allowed for magistrate and constable at Govan, which has been abolished. The salaries for magistrates and constables will amount to $500' more in 1903 than they did in 1898. The above figures as to Auditor and Treasurer may be somewht misleading. In 1898 the Auditor received a salary of $700, of which the county paid $100 and the State $600. Now he receives $800 in a year, the county pays $267 and the State $533. Iu 1898 the Treasurer received commissions, amounting to about $600, so we have been informed. Now he gets a salary of $S00, of which the county pays $267 and the State $533. Other expenses of the county have also increased: our courts seem to cost more, the number of paupers has increased, and there are various items of expense which are not as easy to look up and compare with former years as the salaries, hence we do not give the figures. Had it not been for the law taking the dispensary profits from the schools and giving it to the county and towns, the county would owe much more money than it does.?Ed.

An interesting story comes from "Washington concerning Senator Tillman. The senator, according to the story, was walking down Pennsylvania avenue the other day iu a drenching rain, having been caughtwithout an umbrella or overcoat. As he passed a certain residence a cab driver, protected by a mackintosh and storm curtains, drove up to the pavement. "Hi, there, Cap," called out the driver to the senator. "Step up there ami ring that bell for me. I don't want to get out in the rain." Senator Tillman's reply, it is said, caused the cab driver to lay whip to his horse and flee from the scene in abject terror.

Fairey, the whole load of buck shot taking effect in his left side and neck, one shot penetrating the heart. From what can . 1 i.;ii be learned lie iiau mreaieueu u. a.m mo wife, and her son, who is in business at Kingstree, was notified. Not long after he arrived he was shot at by Mr. Heape. He (Fairey) being uarmed went and armed himself with a shot gun and got the drop on Mr. Heape, just as he was taking sight at Mrs. Heape, with the above results. The affair is to be regretted, as both parties are highly respected. Killing at Branchville. Branchyii.le, March 3.?Mr. N. G. Heape was shot and instantly killed here this morning by his step son, F. W. Fairey. It seems that Mr. Heape has been on a spree for several days and had become delirious; he had threatened several times to shoot his wife, young Fairey's mother, and had run the whole family off the place. Mr. Heape and young Fairey had always been specially good friends and he started to go and try to quiet Mr. Heape, who had already been shooting at Mrs. Heape, and at any one that passed the place. As soon as Mr. Fairey entered the yard, Mr. Heape drew his gun, and Fairey had to shoot to save his own life. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that "Heape came to his death by gun shot wounds in the hands of F. VV. Fairey, Jr? and we believe the same to be justifiable homicide." This is one of the most deplorable affairs that has ever occurred in this section. Mr. Heape was one of the oldest and most trusted engineers on this branch of the Southern railroad. Mr. Fairey will apply for bail at once. Mr. Heape was a member of a Columbia lodge of Woodmen of the World and the Woodmen here have already taken charge of the remains. A White Bishop's Fool Talk. San Francisco, March 2.?Bishop J. W. Hamilton of the Methodist church threw a bombshell into the meeting of the Young Men's Methodist league when he avowed his belief that there was poth * lug wrong in ine intermarriage ui wun? with blacks and Chinese. "You may shudder," said the bishop, "at the idea of such intermarriages, and it is natural you should, but such unions are illustrative of the sweeping away of caste lines, which should occur in the church and which are occurring in the world." Then he spoke of his own experience in Brooklyn, where he had freely married white men to negro women and the reverse, and where also he had married whites to Chinese. His views did not meet with the approval of his hearers. When asked if he would consent to his own daughter marrying a negro, he said no, because the racial prejudice was so strong against the blacks t^at such a marriage would bring reproach upon white women. If such a prejudice were removed he would have no objection to the union. Only a Woman Could. "Ah, Mrs. Scaddsleigh," he said, "you are indeed an enchantress." "You flatterer?" she replied. "Why do you say that ?" "See the Count de Mont.esqueewee over there. The women are crazy over hip). You have made a social lion out of an ass." Lord Russell once asked Mr. Hume: "Mr. Hume, what do you consider the object of legislation?" "The greatest good of the greatest nun; ber." "And what do you consider the greatest number?"

Hampton, March o.?There was a cutting scrape on Main street last Saturday night about 12 o'clock. A young man named Brook Johnston, who served as d.enuty marshal Saturday seems to have given o/Teps.e to another man named Preston Lightsey under the circus tent of the Miles Orton'shows. After Johnston went off duty for the day, Lightsey and some of his friends attacked him and the knife was freely used. The result is that Johnston has a gash on one jaw that went to the teeth, and on the other side a gash in the throat that came dangerously near the jugular vein. Lightsey has a stab in 'the upper portion of his right thigh. The knife was stuck from in front and went downward. It looks to be the work of a child or small m^n. JJgbtsey is at Urge. Happy Peter! A clergyman was sitting in his study one evening hard at work on the following Sunday's sermon when a visitor was announced, a wild-looking woman, and when^he minister set a chair for her she said somewhat brusquely: "You are Mr. J., ain't you?" "1 am," replied the clergyman. "Well, maybe you'll remember o' marryin' a couple o' strangers at your church a month ago?" The clergyman referred to his diary for a moment and then said: "What were the names?" "Peter Simpson and Eliza Brown," replied the woman, adding, "aud I'm Eliza." "Are you, indeed ?" said the minister. "I thought I retnem"? "Yes," interrupted the visitor. "I'm her, and I thought I'd drop in and tell you that Peter's escaped ?" A Remarkable Case.

Tho difficulties under which coal mining oj>orations were carried on before tho scientist Davy had invented his safety lamp must have been very great. In many times the only alternative the mediaeval miner had to pitch darkness was the phosphorescent gleam from dried fish. The miner's implements, originally of stone or hard oak, gradually improved, but he was forced to work in almost complete darkness until Sir Humphry Davy by his remarkable Invention enabled him to light his way through the tunnels he had excavated with comparative safety. Agricola, an author who wrote about the middle of the sixteenth century, has left an elaborate treatise on coal mining as it was practiced during the middle ages. From this we learn that the horse gin, which survives to the present day in some of the mining districts of Great Britain and northern Europe, was the engine chiefly employed both for lifting the coal and for getting rid of the water. This latter object was also sometimes effected by means of pumps turned by windmills or by tunnels driven with great labor to an outlet at a lower level. Tombi of flie Ancient Prophet*. There exist in parts of Islam many tombs of the prophet Daniel. Of these one of the most celebrated is at Cairo. This fact need not astonish us. The Mussulmans admit without hesitation the duplication or even indefinite multiplication of the bodies of holy persons without their veneration for each of the remains being diminished in the least. It is worth noting that the nature of the honorary qualifications accorded to the same saint varies in different countries. Thus, for example, Daniel has at Cairo the name of Nebbi-Daniel?that is, they give him the title of prophet, as being at the same time that which suits him best and is the most honorable they can confer. In Algeria or Morocco?feudal countries? the title they give to saints is sidi, which signifies lord, which is also the title there of military and political chiefs. In central Asia they give to those canonized persons whom they respect mo9t, as to the prophet Daniel, the title of kliodja, which means In Arabic writer or lettered. Making Marble Oat of Chalk. In nature marble Is made out of chalk by water which percolates through the chalky deposits, dissolves the chalk particle by parties and crystallizes It mountain pressure solidifying it It has been found that similar results may be accomplished by chemical means. First slices of chalk are dipped in a color bath, staining them with tints that will Imitate any kind of marble known. For this purpose the same mineral stains are used as are employed in nature. For example, to produce counterfeit "verde an? tique" oxide of copper is utilized. In like manner green, pink, black and other colorings are obtained. Next the chalk slices go into another bath, by which they are hardened and crystallized, coming out to all intents and purposes real-marble. A Good Policy. The Dry Goods Economist says of one store with which it is familiar: "Every employee in it seems to be | good natured. Why should there be any difference in this respect Detween this establishment and the average store? Is not human nature about the same the world over? True, but there Is a difference. The proprietor of this store Is not only a merchant, but a gentleman. He treats his employees with marked courtesy and consideration. As a consequence they feel so kindly disposed toward him and his business that their good will is reflected in their treatment of his customers." Some storekeepers never find put why it is that so few of theip casual customers become regulars. Leigh Hunt's Breakfast Bouquets.
