THURSDAY, April 2, 1903. | "Will Bamberg advertise herself to the world as being too poor to erect a school i building for the education of ner youm r We believe not. * * * The decision of the State's legal depart- : ment in reference to the taxing of build- ; ing and loan associations may be law but , it is certainly not just. To carry out this idea would be double taxation pure and I simple, and we belieye the courts will so ( decide if the matter comes to a test. * i * * Only about two months ago the elec- 1 tion for a new graded school buildiug | was carried almost unanimously. Are our people going to reverse themselves ? on the question at the election to be held 1 on the 10th instant? We hardly think a | minority can be changed into a majority 1 i n.so short a time. 1 * * * 1 ThejOolumbia people are certainly hard . . - '-'tPpIease. A few years ago they were 1 making strenuous efforts to induce the ! railroads to build a new union depot. . Their efforts were finally successful, and now they are protesting because the rail- I road commission wants the Seaboard to , run their passenger trains into the new J union station. A queer state of affairs, \ surely. 1 * ' * * , If ten thousand dollars is too much now for a new school buildiug, it was too i much two months ago. There was no 1 opposition then, and the proposition is ( the same. The matter was thoroughly dis- cussed in mass meeting before the election 1 was held, and no opposition developed. Why all this talk of opposition now? 1 We confess that we cannot understand i this sudden and inexplicable change of sediment. * * * It is to be hoped that there will be a large attendance at the mass meeting to be held in the court house Monday afternoon, called by the board of trustees of ( the Bamberg graded school. The meet- < ing is called to discuss fully the question | of issuing bonds for the purpose of erect- j ing and equipping a new building for the , graded school, and every one interested i should be present. Let those who oppose 1 the proposition attend the meeting and , state their objection, so that we may all | get together if possible. There is no < personal gain to any one in this matterit is a move for the good of the town and ; community generally, and surely we * should all be liberal-minded and patriotic * enough to arrange some common basis 1 upon which all can agree. Let there be a full attendance of the taxpayers and i patrons of the school. ' Hartzog Happenings. Hartzog, March 31.?The mill house at Howell's mill pond was burned last Saturday night. This is the second house 1 that has been burnt there this year. * The farmers are busy preparing their land for cotton now. . The oat crop is very poor; the bugs are very bad, and if tbey are not soon destroyed the farmers will haye a "hard time for true." The public roads are in a very bad fix and seem to get no better fast and it is one thing sure the farmers don't work the * roads and who shall we call on to fix our 1 roads ? < The base ball team in our section is at work rubbing off rust, etc. I guess we might play when we get able; then we will invite our friends to see us. Mr. N. B. Rhoad lost a horse last week. It was not sick but one night and a part of the next day. We suppose it died of sleepy staggers. Dr. S. P. Rentz left last Thursday for St. Louis for a short time. 1 Miss May Nixon visited her sister, Miss < Mamie, at Rev. C. E. Walker's last week. Mr. J. G. Rentz attended the funeral of 1 his father-in-law, Mr. Butler McMillan, at Colston Sunday. Mr. McMillan was * very aged but we had hopes of his restor- 1 ation to health. 1 Messrs. Mannie and Monnie Rentz 1 - were seen in town Sunday, though it 1 rained. Mr. J. G. Rhoad invited the youug ' people to his home last Thursday night ! to shell some pindars. Of course we all 1 went and enjoyed the shelling and what i came after. Miss Minnie Zeigler is at home for the summer. We are waiting, looking and listening for the Good Friday picnic at the Clear Pond. Shall it be? Mr. Richard Rhode went over to Oak Grove yesterday on "O. B." ] ^ ( Due Notiee is Served.

A tall and athletic looking man, suntanned and wearing a sombrero, said to a Senate doorkeeper a day or two before the session ended, "I want to see Senator Quay." The doorkeeper, rather impressed with the tall man's appearance, stammered: "The Senate is very busy now, and I'm afraid the senator can't come out to talk to you." "I don't want to talk to him. I only want to see the noble features of the man who has been fighting for statehood. I'm from Arizona." He was shown into the gallery by a page, who pointed out the Pennsylvania statesman. The Arizona man gazed long and earnestly. Then he said sadly to the page, "Son, I wish I hadn't come to see him. He don't impress me none." Robbed the Grave. A startling incident, is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows: "I was in an awful condition.

Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters; to my great joy, the first bottle made a decided improvement. 1 continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man.

The story is told that on one of our missionary fields a native approached the missionary and declared that he wished to join the church. He was carefully examined, as is the custom, and answered satssfactorily most, if not all, of the questions put to him. Just before completing the *?Tominfttir?r? t.hp missinnarv asked the* native if he had a wife. uyes," he replied, "I have two." "Well," said the missionary, "we cannot receive you into the Baptist Church if you have two wives. We are sorry, because you give a good account of yourself, but so long as you have two wives we cannot receive you into the membership of the Church." Some time elapsed, and the native appeared again before the missionary and stated that there was now no objection to Ms entering the church. The missionary said: "How about your second wife?" "Oh," replied the native, "that's all right. I have eaten her." A Prominent Minister Recommends Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Rev. Francis J.

A group of young girls were on their way home from the park, where for several hours they had been enjoying the I excellent skating. All but one of them were experts. That one was a beginner, and her afternoon had not been wholly devoid, says the Philadelphia Telegraph, of the beginner's usual experiences. The girls looking the picture of health, boarded a homeward-hound car. With a single exception, they all managed to secure seats. The exception was the girl who had just had liertirst experience on skates. She had stood only a moment, however, when a gallant youth rose and politely offered her his seat. She acknowledged the courtesy with a pleasantjbow. "Thank you, sir," she said, "but I have been sitting all the afternoon." Good for Children.

"No, it seems to me you can't cook like she used to." On another occasion he remarked: "You are not so smart in getting about as Mary my second wife was. You don't appear to catch on where she left off." About this time a heavy rolling pin came in contact with his head. "What do you mean by that, you?" he exclaimed in agony. "I am doing the work that Mary neglected," she replied. There was more peace in that family afterwards. INGOT ! TOWN. t. We have just opened up one of the finest lots of mer Dress Goods the rise.

Unscrupulous dealers, mindful of the excellence of this preparation, are seeking continually to put upon the market for profit only, and will try to sell you cheap Imitations and so-called Malt Whiskey substitutes, which, far from relieving the sick, are positively harmful. Demand Duffy's and be sure you get it. It is the only absolutely pure malt whiskey which contains medicinal healthgiving qualities. Look for the trade-mark, "The Old Chemist," on jour label.
