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.

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.

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.

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.

How Much l)o We Owe?
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.

Tillman Was Ruffled.
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.

armed himself with a shot gun and got

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.

"Ah, Mrs. Scaddsleigh," he said, "you

i'uttfiig Scrape i?? Hampton.
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.

'Twould Spoil This Story to Tell It in
the Headlines.
To use an eighteenth century phrase,
this is an "o'er true tale." Having happened
in a small Virginia town in the
winter of 1902, it is a story yery BitjcU pf
the present. Up to a shott timje agp Mrs.
John E. Harmon, of Meifa Station, Va.,
had no personal knowledge of the rare
curative properties of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. "Last January," she says,
"my baby took a dreadful cold and at one
time I feared she would have pneumonia,
but one of my neighbors told me how
this remedy had cured her little boy and
I began giving it to my baby at once and
it soon cured her. I heartily thank the
manufacturers of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy for placing so great a cure within
my reach. I cannot recommend it too

* WORKING IN THE DARK.
DlMcomfnrts of Mining Before the
Davy Lamp W'uh hit.
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.
Leigh Hunt, that early day aesthete,
declared breakfast to be the meal of all
others when the poetic influence of a
table posy was fo be desired. He would
bring in a few clover heads or sprigs
of grass culled from beneath the protecting
bars of a "park railing or city
square if he could find nothing more
peaqtifpi, and with these to look at his
fancy took him roaming out into boundless
green fields and pastures new.
Gave Him a Start.
"Now, then," said the auctioneer,
holding up a pair of antique silver candlesticks,
"give me a atart"
"Twenty-five cents," came from a"
voice at the back of the room.
"What!" exclaimed the horrified auctioneer.
""All, HfllU lUC U1UUC1 iu ao uuuutone
and with a chuckle, "I thought
that would give him a start!"
Slffna of Prosperity.
"How do you get the reputation. of
being so much richer than you are?"
asked the intimate friend. "Very easily.
I wear my old clothes as long as
possible and never admit that I have
any money that I could lend. People
take it for granted that I must be prosperous."?Washington
Star.
How He Felt About It.
"I wish I could give up work and
take a long rest"
Tou'd do it if you could, would
you?"
"Well, I'm not sure I'd do it if I
could. It's one of those things you'd
like to do when you can't"?Brooklyn
Life.
It is agreed by medical authorities
that the virulence of an epidemic may
be increased by the element of fear in
the public mind.
Well Again.

recovered from his attack of rheumatism,

So the Dance Does On.

As lightly as a fairy;
To float with her around the hall
Was sweetest bliss; her movements all !
Were full of grace and air^. i
She dances still, but not with me.
Love crowned another's wooing;
Oh, it is beautiful to see
Her dance her baby on her knee
And hear her sweetly cooing.
Colds Are Dangerous.
How often you hear it remarked: "it's
only a cold," and a few days later learn
that the man is on his back with pneumonia.
This is of such common occurrence
that a cold, however slight, should
no', be disregarded. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy counteracts any tendency toward
pneumonia. It always cures and is
pleasant to take. Sold by Harpbefg

Tragedy Averted.
"Just in the nick of time our little boy
was saved" writes Mrs. W. Watkins of
Pleasant City, Ohio. "Pneumonia had
played sad havoc with him and a terrible
cough set in besides. Doctors treated him,
but he grew worse every day. At length
wetiied Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, and our darling was saved
He's now sound, and well." Everybody
ought to know, it's the only sure cure for
coughs, colds and all lung diseases.
