Governor Heyward might break up the *
illict sale of whiskey in Charleston by c
appointing the blind tiger keepers as dis- i
t
^ pensary constables. ***
1
Our people should begin to take some s
interest in the approaching city election, t
The fact that there is considerable money ?
in the city treasury should wake us up. t
*

Chicco evidently knows where the
money is. He wants to give up the keeping
of a blind tiger in Charleston and 1
take a job as a member of the State board e
of directors of the dispensary. ?
*
* *
The city of Greenwood is soon to hold
another election on the question of es- ^
tablishing a dispensary there, Greenwood *
-being one of the few places in the State 1
which has never had a dispeusary. We v
are opposed to the sale of liquor in any J
way, shape or form, but we think the c
good people who work so hard against a *'
dispensary there should be equally as *
v active in their efforts to rid the town of
blind tigers. If whiskey is to be sold, it ^
is no doubt best to have it sold from dis- v
pensaries instead of blind tigers. n

uot benefit us only as it does any other r
citizen who owns property here and c
whose interests are identical with that of I
the town. In advocating it we are only s
trying to do our duty as we see it, and if j,
those whose interest in the town is or v
should be far greater than ours are willing c
for Bamberg to take a long step backward b
by refusing to erect the building, we t
surely will not complain. s

We consider it the duty of every citizen
to vote for the new graded school building.
We must educate the children if we C
expect to have an eulighteued citizenship.
It is a duty which we owe to ourselves,
our town, and our country. We look up- v
on the new building as a necessity, and n
we have earnestly advocated its erection
because we feel the demands upon us as ^
a people. We don't like to pay taxes any k
more than other people, but the amount tJ
most of us will have to pay will be small, ^
and we will cheerfully contribute to such t]
a
worthy cause. The tax proposed to he v
levied for the school building is three P
mills?only $3.00 ou every thousand ?
dollars worth of property returned, so tj
this will touch a large majority of the y
people in the district very lightly. Our b
wealthiest citizens, those who own the P
s*
bank, cotton mill, etc., which will have c
to bear the most of the burden, are in b
favor of erecting the building. If they h
think it wise, surely that is the very best ^

The Cheeky Chieco. b
The News and Courier of Saturday ?
prints the following account of the re- ?
turn to Charleston of Vincent Chicco, fc
who had been up to Columbia to have a J
talk with Governor Heyward about the
blind tiger business. >'
Vincent Chicco who went to Columbia ,
to have a talk with the Governor, returned ^
to Charleston. Saturday he readily consented
to tell what happened when he
^ ? braced the governor. According to him
, the interview was in part as follows: .
' ?? ?i J ? I*
".NOW, governor, saiu uc, yvu ic a
prominent gentleman. And I'm a gentleman,
and all the Chiccos are gentlemen. ?
Governor, tell me, what are you going to t]
do about this matter ? "
"There is but one thing to be done, J
Chicco," the governor replied in positive
tones, "you'll have to quit this business. *
It is my duty to enforce the dispensary
law." L
"But governor, I have got a wife and j
many children. I have to support them.
I've got to make & living, that's the propo- >
sition I'm up against."
"Well, you'll have to close your estab- n
lishment, Chicco, unless you can make a j
living without breaking the law. Promise t
me you'll cease violating the dispensary
law." a
"Governor, I've just told you I'm a j
gentleman, and if I was to make that
promise I would break it, and then I'd be
a liar, and no gentleman is a liar."
"Very well, Chicco," replied the governor,
decidedly, "you've got to respect the
dispensary law or take the consequences." ii
"I can't give up my business, governor, a
I've got to make a living and I don't 1
know how to do anything else." t
"All right, Chicco; you and the consta- \
bles can settle that." e
Suddenly Chicco's face lighted up with L
hope. "Governor," he whispered, "I've c
got-a proposition to make you." c
"What is it, Chicco ? " c
"I'll quit the blind tiger business if t
you'll appoint me a member of the board a
of control." 1
What the governor said Chicco refused
to divulge.
"Pa," said the small boy, "what is the f
ghost of a smile?" a
"A ghost of a smile," pa sadly replied, s
"is something that is found in empty r
bottles." i

A New Ntory. g
Representative Cushman, of Wastdug- I
ton state, told a new story in the Repub- ?
lican cloak rooms a few days ago. He c
stated that a few years ago the lawyers $
of that state at one of the meetings of the
Stale Bar Association gave a banquet to
all the lawyers present.
"One of the old-timers," said Mr. Cushman,
"was on hand from the wilds of c
Wahkiagum. He had practiced law in ?
the territory when Grant was in the
White House. The old fellow wore a J
long-tailed, claw-hammer coat, with brass >
buttons and other prehistoric raiment. 11
"When he took his seat at the table v
there was before him in the center of the 11
table a large silver pudding dish tilled 11
' with custard, upon the top of which was 1
floating an inviting snow-white frosting.
The old gentleman, not recognizing the J
conventionalities of the occasion, went a
for it like a Dolly Yarden trout for a
salmon egg. He reached over the table
and pulled the dish gently toward him, J"
dipped the silver ladle deep iuto the de- *
licious compound, and sucked the ladle *
dry with one distinctly audible smack. -v
Just as he dipped the ladle in a second ?'
time one of the colored w aiters spied him,
and harrying up to the old man, whispered
in his ear.
44 'Don't eat dat, Mistah. Dat's de
dessert.' I

it. I'd eat it if it was a wilderness!'" e

Bamberg, S. C., March 18, 1903.
[Col. Counts is we think mistaken as
o an overwhelming vote which the
iditor of this newspaper holds in his
^rasp. While we have labored earnestly
,nd faithfully for a new school building,
ve do not lay claim to wielding the inluence
which the Colonel would give us.
lowever, we can only hope that the vote
n its favor will be "overwhelming," for
re believe it will be money wisely and
udiciously expended. Taxes in Bamberg
aay be burdensome, but it is not taxes
evied for the uses aud purposes of the
lamberg graded school. We are inclined
o look upon the expenditure of money
or a new building as an investment
rhich will bring large returns and beneit
the town and community to a great
iegree, and we trust a majority of our
>eople will see it in the same light aud
ast their votes accordingly.?Ed.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP
'ored by One Bottle of Chamberlain's
Conffk Remedy.
"When I had an attack of the grip last
winter (the second one) I actually cured
lyself with one bottle of Chamberlain's
!ough Remedy,'' says Frank W. Perrv,
Iditor of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N.
"This is the honest truth, I at times
ept from coughing myself to pieces by
iking a teaspoonful of this remedy, and
rhen the coughing spell would come on
t night I would take a dose and it seemed
bat in the briefest interval the cough
rould pass off and I would go to sleep
erfectly free from cough and its accomanying
pains. To say that the remedy
cted as a most agreeable surprise is puting
it very mildly. I had no idea that it
rould or could knock out the grip, simply
ecause I had never tried it for such a
urpose, but it did, and it seemed with the
econd attack of coughing the remedy
aused it to not only be of less duration,
ut the pains were far less severe, and I
ad not used the contents of one bottle
efore Mr. Grip had bid me adieu. For

Thomas McNeal, Esq., speaking at the
anquel of the Kansas State Bar associaion,

[e said as he handed over the $15, "I am
our friend, and I can't charge you a full

Lots of Children and No Milk.
.1 udgc Eppa Hunton told this story: He
was once in Virginia making political
speeches ami came to a little town in the
mountain region. There was no hotel,
and he accepted the invitation of a farmer
to have supper and stay all night.
Before supper the host told Judge Ilunton
that he had just put in a barrel of
good whi^ey and offered him a drink.
The Judge took the drink and took two
or three more. The whiskey was excellent.
Two weeks later Judge Hunton got
back to the same town. He remembered
his friend and went to his house. He was
cordially received and invited to supper
again. No whiskey was offered. After
a time the Judge felt the need of a little
stimulant and said:
"By the way, that was remarkably fine
whiskey you gave me when I was here
two weeks ago."
"Yes," replied the host, "so it was; but
I am sorry to say it's all gone."
"What?" said Judge Hunton, astonished.
"You don't mean to tell me you
have used a barrel of whiskey in two
weeks?"
"Yes," said the host. "I tell you friend,
whiskey don't last long when you have a
big family of children and you cau't get
any milk."

A verdant youth who had just completed
his apprenticeship as a carpenter,
dropped into a jewelry store and after
looking at some fraternity pins, asked
"How much is this one with square and

pin. "Five dollars," said the dealer.
"You haven't got one with a hand saw
on, have you ? I'm just out as a carpenter
and jiner, aud I'd like something to wear
so people would kuow what I'm doing.
I'll take it, though I'd like some one with

Cress is the quickest growing of

the blossoming until a later period,

ALMACK'S OF LONDON.
A Famous Woman's Club of a Century
or So Akto.
About a century ago the seventh
heaven of the fashionable world ot
London was a club known as Almack's.
of which the patronesses were Lady
Castlereagh, Lady Jersey, Lady Cowper
(afterward Lady Palmer jtonj, Lady
Sefton, Mrs. Drummond Burrell (afterward
Lady Willoughby), the Princess
Esterhazy and the Countess Lieveu.
Their smiles or frowns consigned men
and women to happiness or despair. It
is hard for us to conceive the importance
which was attached to getting
admission to Almack's. Of the 300 officers
of the Foot guards not more than
half a dozen were honored with cards
to this temple of the beau monde. The
government was a pure despotism, as
every government by woman is bound
to be, and a host of intrigues was set
set in motion to get an invitation.
Very often persons of rank who had
the entree anywhere were excluded
from the club. Such as were admitted
had to dress in conformity with the
edict of the tyrants, no gentleman being
allowed to appear at the assemblies
except in knee breeches, white cravat
and crush hat. On one occasion the I
Duke of Wellington was about to
ascend the stairs to the ballroom
dressed In black trousers when the
guardian of the establishment stepped
forward and said, "Your grace cannot
be admitted In trousers," whereupon
the duke, who had a great respect for
orders, quietly walked away.?New

A Pan That Failed.
At a public dinner a careless waiter
stumbled when bringing In a boiled
tongue. The tongue slipped over the
edge of the dish upon the tablecloth.
"Never mind," said the chairman
cheerfully, "It's only a lapsus linguae"
(slip of the tongue).
The joke was received with a burst
of laughter. A gentleman present,
who had no knowledge of Latin, yet
saw what boisterous merriment It
caused, secretly determined that he
would repeat the whole performance
at his next little dinner party at home
and give his guests a great laugh at his
wit
The occasion arrived. There was to
be a leg of mutton, and the host had
instructed the waiter to let it fall when

Appealed to the Power*.
The late Joseph Medill, editor of the
Chicago Tribune, besides being an indefatigable
editor, had a decided vein
of humor in his composition.
During the last years of his life, as
his strength permitted, he watched
over hia paper as zealously as in his
younger days, and it was his custom to
scan the columns of certain favorite
exchanges and clip from them extensively,
marking them on the margins,
"J. M.?Must," meaning that the
extracts must go in. It was one of his
great griefs that there was not always
room for all of them, even when col
umns of live editorial matter bad been
crowded out, as they were sometimes,
to make room for them.
One night he went up to the room of
the night editor with a bundle of clippings
in his hand.

Nourishing1 Drink.
The whites of raw eggs are very
nourishing." A good way to prepare the
drink, according to one who knows, is
to break the white into a Jar with
what milk is desired and shake the two
thoroughly together. A pinch of salt
should be added. An English specialist
recommends to adult patients suffering
from anaemic condition the daily
consumption of eight or ten egg whites.
They can be taken clear and with ease
If the eggs are kept very cold, broken
into a cold glass and used at once.
Another excellent drink is made by
beating the white of an egg to a froth
and adding a tablespoonful of rich
cream and a spoonful of brandy. This
is a very nourishing cordial for an Invalid.

of these harder substances. They get
rid of them, and then it is just as easy
for them to get rid of the shell of a nut
as it is for a man or a squirrel. You
might think because a hog crushes
the nut into small fragments that he
would necessarily swallow a good portion
of the hull. But he doesn't do any
such thing.
"It is a conceded fact among men
who know anything about the subject
that the horse is the most perfectly constructed
animal in the world, considering
the purposes for which the horse is
used and its method and habits in life.
But I want to put in a good word for
the hog when it comes to the thing of
cracking and eating nuts without getting
any of the harder substances into
the <atnmnch. The horse has verv fine
teeth. The back teeth particularly are
finely constructed with a view of enabling
the horse to crush its food well
before passing it into the stomach.
These heavy grinders, heavily set in
the horse's jaw, are looked upon as
marvels. So they are.
"But what's the matter with the
teeth of the hog? What's the matter
with that marvelous process by which
they separate the kernel of the nut
from the hull? It has occurred to me
that this is no small achievement, and
nature is at least entitled to some sort
of tribute for her skill in making this
result possible. In the first place the
hog's tongue is more sensitive than
would be supposed, and it can easily
detect the harder from the softer substances.
By some sort of process the
hog is able to work the bits of a hickory
nut hull over to the sides of its
mouth, the tongue being used for the
purpose, and here they are thrown out
at the corners. Probably you have noticed
that the corners of a hog's mouth
are somewhat different from the corners
of the mouths of other animals.
The lines of the mouth do not end so
pointedly, and hence it is a much easier
thing for the hog to work the harder
substances which he does not care to
swallow out through these little openings."?New

A FEW WHYS.
wny ao many employers suy xueir
clerks are a stupid lot and unworthy of
their consideration?
Why do many clerks look with envy
on their employers and rage over every
correction or sharp word?
Why do many persons behave more
courteously and kindly to outsiders
than they do to the ones they really
love the best of all?
Why do many men laugh at women's
lack of business ability and yet sneer
and rather look down on the woman
who shows she has some?
Why do many children resent anything
their parents say and look on
them as bores and long to be grown up
so as to escape from them?
Why do many rich folk look on their
poor relatives as being always on the
lookout for favors and so prevent the
poor relatives from giving them little

Time In Japan.
The Japanese divide the twenty-four
hours into twelve periods, of which six
belong to the night and six to the day,
their day beginning at sunrise and ending
at sunset
Whether the day or night be long or
short there are always six periods in
each. To attain this the characters or
numerals on the scale are adjustable.
Two of them are set one to agree
with the sunrise, the other with sunset,
and the four characters between them
divide the space into equal portions.
Thus when the period of daylight Is
lopger than the night the day hours
will be proportionately longer than
those at night
Another peculiarity in their scale is
that they use only six characters, those
from four to nine, and these read backward.?London

Didn't Move on Time.
A typical tough boy, aged thirteen,
was committed to a certain asylum not
long ago by a city magistrate.
"What did you do that they sent you
here?" asked the superintendent mildly.
"Hub! They sent me up Just for
playing a game," snarled the boy.
"What game?" asked the superintendent.
"Checkers wld de police," he explained.
"It was me move, an' I didn't
move, so dey jumped me."
He had been arrested for loitering.?

The Carat.
We talk of a diamond being so many
carats in weight. The carat was originally
the seed of the Abyssinian carat
bower. These seeds are very equal in
?izp and sn were at one time used in
weighing gold and precious stones.
Today the carat as applied to gold
means simply the twenty-fourth part
of the weight of any piece of gold or
alloy of gold.

CORES RHEBMATISM.
Rheumatism, which does its terrible work
in the muscles, joints, and tissues, is caused by
uric acid which gathers in the blood. To get
rid of this poisonous acid which produces the
irritations, pains, agonies, inflammations, and
swellings peculiar to rheumatism, Paine's ]
Celery Compound should be used without
delay. No other medicine gives such prompt,
cheering, and happy results. It is the only
medicine that prevents a return of the dreaded
disease. Paine's Celery Compound braces
the nerves, the blood is quickly cleared of all
irritating poisons, tissue and muscle are built
up, and the digestive organs perfectly toned.
Do not treat with indifference the slightest
rheumatic symptoms; the early use of Paine's
Celery Compound will save you weeks and
months of suffering. Mr. S. D. Conway,
St. Louis, Mo., was permanently cured by
Paine's Celery Compound after repeated failures
with other medicines and physicians; he
says:?
"I am 6d vears of ace, and have lived in
St. Louis 27 years, and all this time with the
exception of three years, I have served in the
Engineers' Department as Inspector. Last
winter I contracted rheumatism and was laid
up. I tried all remedies and doctors, but all
failed until I struck Paine's Celery Compound,
which has made a permanent cure in my case.
I have recommended it to many, and they
have used it with the same result."
