The school election is over, and soon
BE *
Bamberg will have a graded school building
which we can all be proud of. Everybody
seems satisfied for the most part,
and we are truly glad that all the agitation
has ended amicably. Let us all hold
up the hands of the trustees, take interest
in the school, and help to make it the
best school in the lower part of the State.

The city council to be elected ou the
* fifth of May will have the welfare aud
progress of Bamberg in charge, and it is i
r- to the interest of every citizen to be concerned
in this matter. All of us should
have an opinion as to the men we wish
to have these interests iu hand, and
should have the privilege of expressing
that opinion by the ballot. It seems to
lis that the most democratic method
would be to hold a mass meeting of the
voters of the town aud uomiuate by bal;
lot a mayor and aldermen. The meeting
should also take a vote on the question of
letting the town tax levy remain the
same or reducing it.

During the recent agitation of the
school question, it was stated by several
citizens that town taxes could be reduced
to three mills and still meet the expenses
of oar city. A new mayor and aldermen
are to be elected on the fifth of May, and
- it is now up to those who favor a reduction
of town taxes to take the steps necessary
to that end. It might be a good idea
to hold a mass meetiug of the town and
nominate a ticket, pledging each candi

appears to us to be the simplest and most
practical plan, for the sentiment of the
taxpayers of the town shoul be arrived at.
If they want taxes reduced it would be
easy to instruct the new couucil to do so,
and in case a majority of our people
want the levy to stand as it is, then the
incoming council could be instructed to
that effect. Some definite action should
be taken, for without a full expression
from the people the new council would
likely let the levy remain the same. Let
us have a meeting and find out exactly
how we stand financially, discuss town
affairs, and then elect a live, progressive
council who will carry out the wishes of
a majority of the taxpayers, whether that
be to lower taxes or let them remain
the same. What say our citizens? It is
their move.

Why the Poor Mau Drinks.
With something over twenty thousand
inhabitants Janesville has forty-live bar
? ?/4 /kknuAbafl \Ta\I? fliii
ruuius ami imi-cu <.uuituci>. m#n ?uv
question and answer: Why the poor
man drinks. I have always had a way
of believing that he did it not because lie
deliberately chose to do wrong or because
by his own act he was willing to increase
the sum total of evil and misery in the
world, but because drink was about the
only kind of pleasure within his reach.
Pleasure?this is the thing you have got
to allow for in nearly every man's life
and oddly enough that is tne very thiug
we most commonly overlook. -The average
individual can't get along without a
certain amount of pleasure or excitement
or relaxation or?call it what you will,
but, whatever it is, human nature craves
it, and if it can't be got in one way it will
in another.
What happens to boarding schools
where excessive strictness of discipline
prohibits the normal pleasures of youth ?
They turn out lads of the type who later
sow more wild oats than the boys who
have never been unduly repressed. What
does the Chinaman, practically exiled
from his country and the slave of long
monotonous laundry hours, do? He gets
even with fate by smoking opium and
dreaming dreams of a fairer world. The
miner, shut off from many creature comforts
of the world above him, resorts to
grog. The Western cowboy tries to keep
in a passable humor with his rough existence
by gambling, the sweatshop
worker by immorality, and the gold prospector
by fighting, it would seem that
the harder a man's lot was in life the
more desperate he was to square things
by a reckless indulgence in whatsoever
pleasure was at hand.
Take it nearer home if you will, and in
the case of the poor man. See what has
happened in the large cities where the
ordinary laborer is of no more amount
in the great scheme of things that surrounds
him than is the smallest fish in the
sea. To begin with you've taken the joy
of creative work away from him, for
nowadays, because of the introduction of
machinery and the specialization of labor,
no one man turns out the whole of a
thing but only a very small part of it.
Practically no artisan in these times can
hold up for you to appreciate a complete
product of his own handiwork and say:
"That is mine and I am proud of it." In
the second place you've herded him and
his family like catile into rookeries and
basements in foul dark alleys, thereby, de
priving him of the happiness that comes
from creatiugand owning a home. Again,
you've set him to work young with little
or no education which debars him from
knowing the blessiDgs of books and the
delights of a richly stored mind. Still
again, because of his long hours you've
made it largely impossible for him to get
away from the ugliness of the city and to
know "what it is instead to see the beautiful
in God's world out under the blue.
For sports which furnish a safety value
for the surplus animal energy of so many
men he has neither the time nor place.
Friendships of the right kind are denied
him because he has no home to which he
may invite those for whom he may care,
and a club is out of the question. The best
plays at the theatres are too costly for
him, likewise travel and museums and
libraries are beyond his appreciation.
Thus you see one after another those
forms of pleasure that are wholesome and
harmless are placed absolutely beyond
his power to en joy. What is left? Drinkdrink
because of "the carnal pleasure it
yields, because of its power to drive
sordid memories and facts out of the
mind and to replace them by a rosyhued
world of the imagination, aud drink because
it can be had at a clean, inviting
sociable saloon, the poor man's club and
the only place where he can have a quiet
chat with his fellowmen. Granting that
the average man must have pleasure of
some sort once and so often, is it to be
wondered at then, when all things are
denied him, that the chap drinks himself
into a forgetfulnessof his condition?
For just so much as you grind a man
down and take the dearest things of life
away from him just so much he is bound
to get what consolation he can out of the
tbincrc T will bv cavincr T

HAMPTONS FLOWING WELL.
A Complete Success and llio People
Happy. Pure Water at a Depth of
1 IS Feet and a Supply of 75 Gallons
a Minute. Council Will at Once
Lay Main Pipes and Pure Water
Can he Conveyed to Every Home.
For a number of years the citizens of
this town have made various efforts to
secure a flowing artesion well. They
employed several men who were in the
business and came highly recommended,
but every one of them were doomed to
disappointment and gave various reasons
for their failure. One was that on the
Court House hill, which is about the
highest point in the county, was not the
place to attempt the sinking of a well
with the object of securing a flow of
water. Time rolled on and a meeting of
the Council was held and another contract
made with a "man in the business"
who brought his machinery and went to
work in the old well. This was another
failure.
However, Capt. A. A. Browning, Intendant
of the town, and the Wardens, gave
consideration to that trite old saying that
"there is no such word as fail."
Mr. J. M. Jennings, of Bamberg, was
communicated with and an agreement
was made on the 20th day of January
and on the 1st. of February, Mr. Jennings
Mm! hi* hmriit vnnnysou. Hamilton Jenn
iugs, arrived with their, machinery and
went earnestly to work. There" were
several of our fellow-citizens who did
not look for success, but be it said to the
credit of the man who had the job in
hand that he believed that as sure as the
suu shined his efforts for a flowing well
would be successful.
On Wednesday afternoon last about 6
o'clock, the sound of the whistle was
heard and on every side men, women,
girls and boys shounted "we have a first
class flowing artesian well ?"
This well is one of the best in the State
and is 818 feet in depth and the casing
from top to bottom is of three-inch standard
pipe. The flow is about seventy-five
gallons a minute of good, fine water and
will rise iu any size pipe at least sixty
feet above the surface.
Mr. Jennings is an indefatigable, competent,
and earnest worker, and while he
met with a number of obstacles that
would discourage some it only aroused
him to renewed activity. For instance,
when at a depth of 450 feet he encountered
a rock that was so solid that it took
four days of hard work to pick through
eight inches. After this, other rocks
were encountered, which also required
? ? 1 ... 1 _..1. til.? ^i..:n
patience anu sieauy wuik. iucuuu nas
broken off on three different occasions,
but in each instance Mr. Jennings put
everything in shape and moved steadily
downward.
Hampton's Intendaut and four Wardens
are determined to push the good work
on, and in fact have already adopted a
resolution and appointed a committee
with full power to act and make a contract
for the purchase of the necessary
piping, fittings, etc., for a complete
system of water works, and there is very
little doubt but that Mr. Jennings will
remain to complete the work.
Mr. J. M. Jennings is perhaps one of
the best aud most successful .men in his
line of business to be found in this or any
other State. He makes his own drills
and every tool used in well drilling. He
has certainly the endorsement of the
people of Hampton, who will always remember
him and commend him to those
who want an honest and thoroughly reliable
contractor.?Hampton Guardian.
A Demonstration of What Chamberlain's
Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy Can Do.
"One of our customers, a highly respected
citizen of this place, had been for
ten years a sufferer from chronic diarrhoea,"
writes Waldeu & Martin, druggists,
of Enterprise, Ala. "lie had used
various patent preparations and been
treated by physicians without any perma- ]
nent benefit. A few months ago he com-1
meneed taking Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and in a
short time was entirely cured. Many
citizens of Enterprise who know the
gentleman will testify to the truthfulness
of this statement." For sale by Bamberg

Jonathan Brown'sTreatiseon Woman
.Woman is an animal and I mout say a
biped, though I aint in no wise prepared
to argue that pint. In nature she is a mixed
problem whose"given quantity"aint never
been nor never will be found out. Under
some sarcunistances she is as purty as a
dream, as iuuercent as a lamb, as inspiring
as life on a hill top, and she draws
her sweet leetle self into man's affections
ami wafts him into ther realms of paradise
aud jest as she reaches ther portico
of that spacious palace she lets him drop
kerslap down to his "daddy's wood pile."
Woman is a labor saving device to help
man make a dunce of himself. She causes
him loads of trouble, but bless her leetle
heart she heaps it on his back so gently
that if ther burden draps off he smarts
and kicks and wanders around a hunting
another load?aint it so ? If it aint a fact,
then why does he marry agin? Her voice!
Laws sakes alive she can coo a fellow to
sleep before he knows it and talk him
outen his boots when he is awake?she
can give him a start of her and then get
in 97 per cent, of any argument he can
fetch up. This creetur is a perfect wonder
in any gimnasiam. She can give a spring
into space and land with both feet on a
very small conclusion. Then without
trucking breath she can climb out of
reach and come down right in ther middle
of her neighbor's affairs catching 'em on
ther fly and making a "home stretch."
Talk about men performing feets with
ball and knives and sich like why these
creeturs can take up a (red in) gote, a
whale (bone) a whole leg of mutton
(sleeve) a rat or two, a fewT butterflies
and ever so many fish (scales) and jump
and climb and ketch her neighbors bizness
on the fly with all ther above varmints
ahanging from her bod}'. I seen a
woman onct with three other wimmen
and they each carried one of them 'gotes
and whales and when I asked them why
they done it they sed it was the fashion.
Woman is great for fashion and ther bargain
counter. Sam Smalls sed if any one
ever doubted if a woman was dead hollow
"bargains" over her coflin aud it would
fetch her if she was'nt dead. Unless your
life is taxed for a big sum never venture
to ask a woman her age. Indeed it is
very uncertain, for twice iu her natural
life she is a gal and onct a woman. Don't
never, never perdict w hat woman will do,
for you will get left. She always does
the most unexpected thing for the reason
of "just because.' Married men, u you
waut happiness aud a smiliug wife, do
three things: keep biziness letters handy
for her to puzzle over and ask questions
about. Give her money without letting
her ask for it and court her 3G5 times a
year. If j'ou are too bizzy, have a ritual
of courtship printed and pint to them
daily as "my sentiments." Obsarving
these rules rigidly woman can be domesticated
and be found to thrive in all climates.

Statement from Richard Carroll.
Editor Bamberg Herald In The
Ilerald of last week you stated that whenever
1 spoke in the interest of my work,
I also worked for the Epworth Ophanage,
etc. This may give people the impression
that I am agent for that Orphanage.
I simply mention the Orphanage
and its work some times to white Methodist,
like General Bamberg, who are able
to aid them, but I never collect money
for them or make an appeal in my
speeches. I simply asked General Bamberg
to let ire carry the check for $50.00
to the President of the Orphanage, as
our institutions were near each other and
would be glad to take it.
Yours respectfully,
Richard Carroll.

agonies from asthma, but your
New Discovery gave me immediate relief
and soon thereafter effected a complete
cure." Similar cures of consumption,

John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows:
"I was in an awful condition. My skin

coated, pain continually in hack and
sides, no appetite, growing weaker day

up. Then I was advised to use Electric

made a decided improvement. 1 continued
their use for three weeks, and am

A Typographical Tragedy.
"You must have a bunch of humorists
working on your linotype machines,
haven't you V" asked the poet as he entered
the office.
"Haven't noticed that any of them
have any failiug in that line," answered
the editor. <
"Well, you're a poor observer. Do
you read your own paper ?"
"Occasionlly."
"Did you read my poem, "To Agatha,'
in yesterday's issue?"
"N-no."
"I thought not. In the poem I wrote a
line which read, T love you better than I
love my life.'"
"That was a neat line."
"And one of your linotype humorists
made it read. 4r love vou better than 1
love my wife.'"
"Er"?
"Exactly?my wife. Ami my wife,
not being acquainted with the failings of
these key thumpers, thinks the poem was
printed exactly as it was written and
hasn't spoken to me since it was published."
And after taking a kick at the desk he
crossed the hall and fell down the elevator
shaft.

The pleasant to take and harmless One
Minute Cough Cure gives immediate relief
in all cases of cough, croup and lagrippe
because it does not pass immediately into
the stomach, but takes effect right at the
seat of the trouble. It draws out the inflammation,
heals and soothes and cures
permanently by enabling the lungs to
contribute pure life-giving and life-sustaining
oxygen to the blood and tissues.

by arousing the secretions and restoring
the liver to the full performance of its
functions naturally. Bamberg Pharmacy.
Could Oblige Her.
One of those women who have antipathy
for tobacco entered a street car
the other day and inquired of the man
sitting near her: Do you chew tobacco,
sir?"
"No, madam, I do not," was the reply,
"but I can get you a chew if you want
one."
A Stveet Breath
is a never failing sign of a healthy
stomach. When the breath is bad the
stomach is out of order. There is no
remedy in the world equal to Kodol DysneDsia
Cure for curing indigestion, dys
pepsia and all stomach disorders. Mrs.
Mary S. Crick, of White Plains, Ky.,
writes: "I have been a dyspeptic for years
?tried all kinds of remedies but continued
to grow worse. By the use of
Kodol I began to improve at once, and
after taking a few bottles am fully restored
in weight, health and strength anil
can eat whatever I like. Kodol digests
what you eat and makes the stomach
sweet. Bamberg Pharmacy.
The Oltl Man Knew.
A boy outran his allowance and other
resources so much that he was in imminent
need of aid. So he sat down and
wrote to his father thus:
"Dear Pa.?I had tin: misfortune to be
upset in a boat while out on the river and
lost the beautiful watch you gave me. I
would like some money to employ a diver
to recover it.?Your affectionate son,
Thomas."
The old gentleman was no fool. He
replied: "It is not worth while diving for
it. It might as well be in soak in one
place as in another."
Too Great a Risk.
A reliable remedy for bowel complaints
should always be kept at hand. The risk
is too great for anyone to take. Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhtea
Remedy never fails and when reduced
with water is pleasant to take. For sale
by Bamberg Pharmacy.
On Himself.
"I wish to state," said a fresli young
lawyer, rising in court, "that the rumor
to the effect that John Doe, now under
iudictment for murder, has attempted to
commit suicide has no foundation in
fact. I saw him this morning, and he has
retained me to defend his life."
"That seems to conlirm the rumor,"
said the Judge. "Let the case proceed."
A Thoughtful Man.
M. M. Austin of Winchester, Ind. knew
what to do in the hour of need. His wife
had such an unusual case of stomach and
liver trouble, physicians could not help
her. He thought of and tried Dr. King's
New Life Pills and she got relief at once
aud was tiually cured. Only 25c. at Bamberg
Pharmacy; H. C. Rice, of Denmark.
"You write your iirst name very well,
indeed, Miss Pinkie," criticised the writing
teacher, "but you make a sad blotch
of the 'Johnson' part of it."
"What is the difference, Mr. Spencer?"
asked the pretty girl. "I expect to change
the Johnson part of it some day.'
A disordered stomach may cause no end
of trouble. When the stomach fails to perform
its functions the bowels become deranged,
the liver and kidneys congested,
causing numerous diseases, the most fatal
of which are painless and therefore the
more to l>e dreaded. The imortant thing
is to restore the stomach and liver to a
healthy condition, and for this purpose
no better preparation can be used
than Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets. For sale by Bamberg Pharmacy.
Vigorous Old Age

feel young, and cures their ills. It has added
years of health and enjoyment to many a life.

powers will fill your declining years
with health, strength, and happiness. Read
what George F. Morse, 67 years old, writes:?
Wells & Richardson Co.,
Gentlemen:?Just a word in favor ol
Paine's Celery Compound, hoping it may catch
the eye of some afflicted person, and they
may receive the same satisfactory benefit.
Some 15 years ago I had a combination ol
malaria, chills and fever, and grip, which continued
for a year or more; meantime I lost in
weight about 60 pounds, trying different medicines
and doctors with unsatisfactory results.
Paine's Celery Compound was recommended,
and, after using a little I began to improve,
gaining about a pound a week. In a year I
had regained 50 pounds of the lost weight and
good health, and have been a well man evei
since. Yours truly, GEORGE F. MORSE.
