Let there be no bitterness over Monday's
election. We are all working for
the best interests of the town as we see it,
but of course we cannot expect every one
to agree with us. But let us concede to
each other the right of free thought and
free speech and work together fqr the
upbuilding of the town in every way possible.
*
* *
We are going to make a city of Bamberg,
and we won't be long about it either.
When our advantages are considered,
Bamberg is one of the very best towns in
the State. No place of 2,500 people has a
tax rate of six mills and no license system.
This town is an ideal location for
manufacturing enterprises. We have all
the essentials'for success except outside
capital and new blood. What we want is
* men and money.
* * J
*
The citizens of Bamberg never did a
better thing than when they voted favorably
on the water and light franchise.
We will nave inese conveniences uoc iu
RE?"
less than six months, and they are bound
to enhance real estate values and help
the town generally. True we are paying
a good price for water and lights, but it
was the best contract we could obtain.
But the town ought to own these things,
and we hope such will be the case in ten
fvV r
years.
* *
. Bamberg presents an attractive openiing
for a number of manufacturing enterprises.
We might mention a furniture
and coffin factory, a steam laundry, an ice
factory, a spoke and handle factory, a bag
factory, a mattress factory, a broom factory,
a foundry and machine shop, etc.
Our people will cordially welcome any
parties who wish to establish these enterprises
here, and they will, we feel sure,
be exempted from taxes for five years,
which is the legal limit.
Uses a Delicate Perfume.
A young man bearing the earmarks of
an "agriculturist" walked into a Main
street grocery last evening, and called for
a bottle of vanilla extract. Before opening
the door to step back into the street,
he pulled the cork, poured a few drops of
the flavoring on his handkerchief, and as
he placed the bottle in his vest pocket,
remarked to the clerk: "If there is any!
thing Missouri gals like better than
chewin' gum, its perfumery."-Joplin (Mo)

Col. Jim Bacon advances these views in
The Edgefield Chronicle: President
& Roosevelt, who is a meddlesome and ridiculous
man, has been talking a great
deal to the Mothers' Congress in Washington
and complaining that white women
nowadays do not have children
Hv enough. Nonsense! They have a great
many more than they ought to have,
especially the poor ones. However, that
is not our point. Our point is to beg Mr.
Roosevelt to come down here to Edgefield
and preach warmly to our hens, collectively,
that they have not laid an egg
this spring. If this fussy and absurd
President would let white women alone,
and cease to force them to have a baby
every year, and come down here and use
his "big stick" upon our froward and unfruitful
hens, he would-be doing a real
wise and benevolent "stunt."
SULPHUR NATURE'S GREATEST GERMICIDE.
Iff ?
A Freer Use of it Would Save Doctors' Bills.
Greater healing power can be had in the
privacy of the home by using Hancock's
Liquid Sulphur in baths than by journeying
to most famous sulphur springs.
Greater benefits to the skin, a clear and
more beautiful complexion can be had by
using the harmless Hancock's Liquid Sulnhur
for the toilet than by use of danger
ous drugs and cosmetics. Liquid Sulphur
cures dandruff, eczema, pimples, salt
rheum, itch, hives, erysipelas and all open
sores. It is nature's greatest germicide.
Write to Hancock Liquid Sulphur Co.,
Baltimore, Md., for free booklet, or ask
your druggist for Hancock's Liquid Sulphur.
Dispenser Elected.
At a meeting of the county board of
control held here last Monday, an election
was held for dispenser at Denmark,
to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Mr. W. H. Faust. There were
nine applicants for the position, and Mr.
: D. P. Neely was elected. He is a young
man of sterling character and. good business
qualifications and will make a faithful
and efficient officer. He hhs given
bond and assumed charge. Mr. Faust
resigned to go into business in Waco,
Texas. He will leave for that place some
time next week.

A New York man has offered one
thousand dollars to charity if a "perfectly
happy married man" can be found. He
would have been safe to have included
bachelors and women. "Perfectly happy
people" are rarer than thousand dollar
checks.

James S. Barron, President Manchester
Cotton Mills, Rock Hill, S. C., writes:
"In 1883 I painted my residence with L.
& M. It looks better than a great many
houses painted three years ago. Don't pay
$1.50 a gallon for linseed oil, which you
do in ready-for-use paint. Buy oil fresh
from the barrel at 60 cents per gallon,
and mix it with Longman & Martinez L.

Mother For
John Philip
By Harriet G. C&ofidd
Copyright. 1904, by Harriet G. CanfieU
John Philip Brown sat up very
straight at his end of the breakfast ta1
ble. Mrs. Rachel Noah, at the other
end, could not see his little bare feet
playing tag beneath the table.
"Aunt Rachel looks just like my
chicken hawk?anyways she would if
be wore spit curls,** he said to himself,
with a little chuckle. "I bet**? But John
Philip's bet was never recorded, for Susan
appeared just then, red and giggling.
Mrs. Noah stared at her reprovingly.
"I did not ring," she said sternly.
"No'm, I know you didn't, but sheshe's
here, an' "?
" 'She? Take your apron down from
your mouth and talk connectedly. Who
is here?"
"Columbia ? Columbia Farley. She
says that*s her name, ma'am, an* she's
from the Orphans' home?a little mite
of a thing, an' that funny V* Here Susan
retired again behind her apron.
"What does she want?* Mrs. Noah
asked grimly.
"Well, ma'am," Susan exploded, "she
wants to stay r
"Stay?' her mistress repeated blankly,
while John Philip, unreproved,
squirmed with delight. Here was something
doing at last
"Yes'm," Susan went on, "She's had
her eye on this house, she says, for a
long time, but it wa'n't till this mornin'
that she decided she'd live with
you. She's a-setUn' on her satchel out
in the kitchen."
Mrs. Noah fairly snorted with astonishment
and indignation. "Much obliged
to her, I'm sure," she said sarcastically,
"and may I ask wl\at decided
her in our favor?'
"It was John Philip, ma'am," Susan
said, choking with laughter. "She?she
says she wants to be a mother to him."
1 John Philip's face matched his hair
> in color now; even the freckles took on
, a livelier red. "Consarn her he said
under his breath.
1 "Any more?" his aunt asked, with
? the air of one prepared for the worst
, "Yes*m; she asked what your name
was, an' when I said 'Mrs. Noah' she
' was that surprised. She said she'd
} heard about you an' Mr. Noah at Sun,
day school, but she had no idee you
! was llvin' yet"
; "Anything more? My oatmeal Is get?
ting cold. Don't stand there giggling
> like an idiot"
' "She wondered how old you was,
; ma'am, an' when I said I didn't know
f she thought she could tell by lookin'
> at your teeth, like the hired man at
! the home done when be bought a
j horse."
A great wave of color rolled over
Mrs. Noah's face and broke on the
beach of "spit curls" outlining her high
forehead. "Bring her in," she said,
closing her thin lips tightly over her
"store" teeth.
Susan disappeared and a moment later
ushered "Columbia Farley" Into the
august presence of her mistress. She
was truly "a mite of a thing;" with
great dark eyes and a most engaging
smile.
"How do you do, Mrs. Noah?" she
said, holding out her hand in a quaint,
old fashioned way. To John Philip's
surprise, his aunt took the little hand
In hers.
"So you'd like to live here?' she said
not unkindly.
mVm nxpfni well. Don't you need
meT she asked naively.
"I think not," Mrs. Noah said, very
gently for her, "and, besides, I omldn't
take yon without the consent of the
matron at the home."
"Oh, she won't care!" the littie girl
exclaimed eagerly. "There's too many
of us now and"?
"Well," Mrs. Noah interrupted, "you
can stay to breakfast, and then I'll go
with you to the home." The child had
crept thus quickly into a warm corner
of the grim lady's heart
She was eating her oatmeal when
John Philip's father came down to
breakfast and asked so kindly, "Whose
little girl is this?" that Columbia's
heart went out to him then and there.
"I don't know," she said simply in
reply to his question. 'They ain't
found out yet at the home, but I know
how old I am. I'm going on seven.
I'm little, but maybe I'd do for him"
?she nodded cheerily at John Philip?
"till he got a really, truly one."
"A really, truly what?" Mr. Brown
asked smilingly.
"Why, a mother, of course. I learned
* how to be one from Mis' Jones. She
has eight children. She lives near the
home. You Just help 'em be good, and
they will, 'cause you love 'em so. Ifa
awful nice to have a mother," she said
wistfully. "I asked Tommy Jones if
he didn't think so, and he said, 'Sure
thing!'"
John Philip tried to scowl, out ms
forehead refused to pucker, and when
his father said, ''Shall we let her adopt
you, son?' he laughed outright "We?
we?might give her a try," he stammered.
And so it happened that Columbia
Farley entered the Brown family "on
probation" and later was taken into
"full membership."
It was on a Saturday morning, a
month or more after Columbia had
been received into full membership,
that the children were playirig; together
in the garden.
"I guess I'll go wadin' this afternoon,"
John Philip announced. "Aunt
Rachel would just worry if I told her,
, and daddy won't be home for lunch, so
I can't ask him."
"I'm 'frald you'll- be drown-ded,
' dear," the little mother said anxiously
t
(John Philip did not object to
In private), "an* I don't believe^H^^B
better
"Pooh!" John Philip rejoined. VI
ain't my mother. I ain't had a

"No," she sighed, "if yon had a

mind. Your father might get yon oni^J|
John Philip grinned. "He's too boaj,n x
he said, "but I know one I'd like to get

there was a jolly nice girl there, an* we '*]
liked her awful well?daddy an' mean'
we took her picture one day?snapshot?1
mean daddy did. He's got it
yet. Come up to his room, ana ru awn
for it"
The children fled into the boose and
up to Mr. Brown's sitting room. Behind
a tall vase John Philip found the
object of his search. For a moment Colombia
gazed at it with wondering
eyes. ''Why, ifs her!" she shouted, with
more force than grammar. "Ifs my. i
Miss Curtis! She lives near the home. $
'Course she's awful nice!" She gazed
long and lovingly at the picture. "Say" '
she said at last; "s'pose we get her for ,
your mother?"
Thereupon followed a discussion of
ways and means, and It was not until
after luncheon that the committee of
two set forth in quest of a mother for
John Philip. It was a very startled %
and amazed young lady who listened *
to their plea. It was Columbia who of- ;.?
fered the most persuasive argument ^
"He hasn't anybody but his Aunt X
Rachel and his father," she said plead-: vgf
ingly, "an* he keeps your picture back
of a vase, an'
"Who keeps my picture?" Miqp Curtls
interrupted, her sweet face flush- uj
ing a rose red.
"Why, John Philip's father," ColumbJa
explained. "I s'pose you didn't M
know 'bout it then?"
"No, I didn't know," she said. "I ^
didn't know," she repeated to herself . 3
again and again. ,
"Now you know, an' won't you
come, please?" It was John Philip -vj
who pleaded now. Miss Curtis stooped
and took his freckled little face be- sH
tween her slender white hands
think of It, dear," she promised, "but j|
it will be better not to mention yoor ;|p
?your proposal to your father."
John Philip did not agree with berv-feg
and that very evening he broke the
news to his unsuspecting father. Co? . c|
lumbia, with rare delicacy, had declined
to be present . r
-Daddy" John Philip said bluntly, "I g
asked her?Columbia an* me,"
Philip Brown looked up from his peper.
He was a fine specimen of manhood?strong
of body and mind, dean ; ^ ^
of heart and still on "the sunny side" /^vl
of forty.
| "Asked whom?" he said. "Asked
what?"
"Miss Curtis, you know. I?I. asked
her to be my mother."
Philip Brown sat up very straight
and stared at his small son and heir.
"Don't you want her?" the little fdlow
said, struggling manfully to keep/ ^
back the tears. "I said I was sure yoo ^
wanted her, same as I did."

from between white lips.
"She didn't know you had her pie*
ture till Columbia told her. She said
she'd think about it, bat I'd better not
tell yon I'd asked her to"?
But John Philip was talking to the
empty air. His father was out of the
room before the last sentence was finished
He had seized his fiat and van- f
ished.
"Gee," John Philip said to himself, M
"we've done it now, I guess?Columbia
an' me!"
They had. The bride and groom said J
so on their wedding day. John Philip's M
father had suggested that the arches- '

knot was being tied, but, strange to *
say, the bride elect objected.

by their conversation, stepped up to i
