We wish to make a statement to our V- subscribers, and we hope they will notice it carefully and be governed accordingly. We have found, after a long experience v in the newspaper business, that it does no p good to be calling for money through the $> columns of the paper. Besides, it is not lair to the subscribers who pay, to be fillp| ing up the paper with appeals for money, S? ;" when many of them have already paid in |||^ advance. Therefore, from this time on, there will not be printed in this newspaper any notices to subscribers about V. money. Statements will always be sent direct to the subscribers in arrears, and they will be expected to make prompt ? V settlement, as it takes time and money to Send out bills. This is our final statement gff?/ in regard to this matter, and we trust Lx those interested will take due notice. "Unity of purpose" should be the motto *' of the citizens of Bamberg. *** I Augusta has an organized "automobile dub." Now fot the undertakers. There is nothing too bad for the man who loves his country for the sake of his pocket. C The managing of a sugar trust is not such a sweet business as the name might Buggest. \ *** A coal trust takes cold steel, and a steel trnst steals coal. Both are steeled with cold hearts. * # * TKnro iq r* rvt V* ino cr\ *\s\rr\rr\ r\r\ o e o veil.

Governor Heyward is being besieged ( by applications for pardons these days, - but he is slow to pardon those convicted of crime. Such action is eminently right Wi and proper. The pardoning power has z-t been too freely used in the past, for the good of the State. w * fL Grover Cleveland has issued a statement in which he says plainly and em|p phatically that he will never again accept the nomination for president. This % ought to ease the minds and stop the nrifkntVic ftf thrvsA xchnhavp hppn crt in^riKtri ^ ously abusing him of late. ?

Sett: * * The Charleston Evening Post of last Thursday had a sensible editorial (and ; this is by no means an uncommon thing for that paper) on the holding of all State f Democratic conventions in Columbia. .

The idea is a most excellent one, and we hope to see it adopted. & ' ill ite1/1 -- There are two facts about a trust.

If it be the ( deed of a single man, he must be sure of what he intends, he cannot be uncertain A and succeed. Of an army or any organiz- , ation the same is true. There must be < one common end in view. "United we i bbiiuu, UlVIUCU ? c inn IS as uuc iuuay as when it was uttered. And so it is with us of Bamberg. If we would prosper we must work together. Any move for the betterment of the town and its citizens cannot be accomplished unless there be unity. The tendency to be divided has never made itself felt to any great extent in our town, but even a closer union should bind fce citizens together. For new citizens to come here is for us to grow, and certainly for us to grow is for us to prosper. It was the almost unanimous vote of our voters which has guaranteed us a splendid graded school. The only way to prosper and enlarge is to offer inducements to good men to come and live here. It is the unity of the Methodists of Bamberg which promises our town a new house of worship, one of which we might justly feel proud. It was their unity, together with the rest of the town, which gave us the Fitting School. And it was the Bamberg citizenship which made her a county seat. Let us have unity of purpose and let our purpose be a noble one, one which will make us be proud to say V?of t*T om o t?7fln rvf PomWrr " A aui t* vi THE LONE STAR STATE.

E A Husband Incubator. t There is a very ingenious woman living c near Meeker, who says that her liege lord and master does not and has not fur- t nished the water to mix the bread in 15 ' years. He is always lying around doing nothing. Two weeks ago he went to bed P with a very slow fever, and his wife got d an idea that she could make an incubator of him. She put one hundred eggs around j him, but he >is getting cross and uneasy> and she is afraid he will quit the nest,*as he has never stuck to any job three weeks. ? <3 HEAD ABOUT TO BURST. f "I had a severe bilious attack and felt & like my head was about to burst when I got hold of a sample of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.

Most of the mental devices for woo- a :ng sleep have failed because they have 5 nearly always tried to resort to "local treatment" In other words, they have nade a homeopathic attempt to stop linking by thinking about something jlse, a process which might also be I called "elimination by substitution." c But all thinking, spontaneous or fore- j ft ?d, draws more or less blood to the j j. t>rain, prevents deep inhalations and i jars the gate to the kingdom of dreams, i ~ iny device, on the other hand, which i will make one take deep, long breaths ^ spontaneously, the iuvariable forerun- s ler of sleep, may be counted upon as a v genuine remedy for insomnia.
