Thursday, April 20,1905 A. C. Jones, of Newberry, has sent out a circular letter announcing his candidacy tor governor and stating his views on several public questions. While he may not be elected, still he has a mighty good platform. Open Confession. "How did you come to make the acquaintance that led up to marriage with your wife?". . "It was* highly romantic." "Yes?" s S" -v . i"Yes; she had inadvertently remained on a rock at the sea shore until the rising - tide cut her off from shore." "A dangerous situation." "Indeed, yes; I saw her from afar off . and approached in my boat unseen; she was crying with her face in her hands, and as I approached the rock I heard her aob: "Am I to get no succor ? " "And you were her sucker ?" ?j\ "I was." Woman's Home Companion. The May number of the Woman's 'A Home Companion is, as usual, bright with illustrations and attractive in its reading matter. The conclusion of Henry Irving Dodge's remarkable series on food adulteration is a vigorous arraignment of the United States Senate, entitled "Call a 8pade a Spade." Among the special articles are "Life Saving at the Zoo," or A v wild-animal surgery; "Jewish Domestic Life" in the romantic Ghetto, and "The Lighter Side of Motoring" as seen in A , automobile floral parades. The serials are by the well-known authors?Louis pi Tracy, who concludes "The King of Diamonds," and Marion Harland, contin ning"Martha and her American kitchen." The short stories are as bright and sparkling as ever?"The Yireos' Service," "Mrs Hendy's Restorer" and "They Stood on the Bridge." The departments of the Woman's Home Companion are always helpful, and never more so than in this number. Among them are Mrs. Sangster's "Self-Improvement," Miss Gould's "Ribbon Fads and Frills;" Sam Loyd's Puzzle Page is keen and wit-sharpening, while Aunt Jdnet and her Boys and Girls are as companionable as ever.

Perilous Times. & Editor The Bamberg Herald.?Dear Sir: It looks now as if we are beginning to H- reap what we have sown in Bamberg. Sow to the world and we shall reap corruption. What has brought all this calamity upon us? Sin. What is sin ? All unrighteousness is sin. Who is responsible for all this? We as citizens are largely responsible as well as those who are in authority. 1st. We see our dispensary laws violated and hold our peace, and in so doing we allow this seed to be sown and it springs up and it has a very rapid growth; it soon flourishes. We as citizens of Bamberg should see to it that such seed is not sown, and if some are sown while . we sleep, as soon as it springs up and -. shows itself we should cut it down before it comes to maturity and bears fruit. Again we see drunkenness on our Streets and take no steps to stop it, allowing it to grow bigger and bigger until it matures and bears fruit. We as citizens pass these things and wink at them. Again, we see men and boys carrying concealed weapons, such as pistols and brass knucks, and carelessly handling them and we lake no steps to prohibit it. Again, we have a great fever all over our country, especially in Bamberg. A plague known as base bail game, mis is a terrible disease, leading thousands to hell. (Worldiness), and all worldiness is sin, and leads to death. This plague was first known to be a disease of men, but it now has spread until women are subject to it. Yea more, our girls and boys are now diseased with it, making them worldly minded. Its whole tendency is to evil, nothing elevating in it. Nothing to lead the young minds of our sons and daughters to Christ and His righteousness, hence I say death and sorrow are in our midst today on account of this evil. Hence I say we as citizens of Bamberg are large* ly responsible for the fruits of various kinds that we are now reaping. Only think of it! Three deaths in our midst on account of the above evils I have mentioned. Now, Mr. Editor, all I have said is with all due respect to every citizen in this city, and I think the time has come for us to stop and think seriously over these things. I believe the time has come foi some one to raise the alarm of the many dangers that now confront us. Very respectfully, Jno. W. Black. Bamberg, S. C., April 18, 1905. % \ A VERY SAD ACCIDENT. SAMUEL, SON OF MR. N. Z. FELDER, KILLED WHILE PLAYING BASE BALL The Little Fellow Was Just Nine Years Old? Fall Broke His Neck and Caused Concussion of the Brain. Monday afternoon about half past four o'clock a negro rode hurriedly into town and notified Mr. N. Z. Felder that his little son, Sammie, had been killed. He at once left for his home about a mile below town accompanied by physicians aDd soon the news came back that the little fellow was not dead but it was believed that he was fatally injured. Although everything possible was done, he never regained consciousness and died about 8.30 o'clock the same night. The accident which caused Sammie's death was a most peculiar one. He with a still younger brother were at the home of a negro tenant on Mr. Felder's place, named George Robinson. Sammie was playing ball with two little negro boys. He struck at the ball as it was pitched to him and then started to run for the base. While running he carried in his right hand the stick used as a bat. He fell and the stick stood upright, catching him under the throat. The fall broke his neck and caused concussion of the brain. He was at once carried to the home of his parents, but he never rallied. The aecident is peculiarly a sad one. Sammie was a bright little fellow and a pupil in the second grade at the graded school here. As a mark of respect the exercises of the school were suspended Tuesday and a number of the pupils attended the funeral. The burial took place Tuesday afternoon at the Zeigler burying ground about two miles below- town, on the Charleston and Augusta road. The physicians state that the fall dislocated the neck at the junction of the head with the spine, with accompanying concussion of the brain. VERY LOW EXCURSION RATES.

Rinse in dear water, wring as dry as possible, shake and hang in a nice airy place to dry, out of doors if possible. Quilts, eiderdowns and shawls can be washed in exactly the same way, but eiderdowns need to be frequently shaken during the drying process or they will be riumpy." Iroalaf Woolen*. A very hot iron should never be used for flannels or woolens. If the iron is stood on a clean white brick when set down it will keep hot much longer than if placed on a metal rest To prevent it from sticking rub the surface well with fine salt A bit of beeswax In a thin flannel will keep a flatlroa clean If rubbed on often during a day's Ironing. * .. Apple Sonfle. Strain one quart of apple sauce through a sieve, sweeten to taste and aAA fha and crmtmi finA at OQfi lemon, the yolks of five eggs and. lastly, the whites of the eggs beaten to a still; froth; pat this Into a battered padding, dish and bake till it cracks on top. Sprinkle with sugar and serve hot without sauce. A Handy Stepladder. Most every stepladder Is collapsible td a certain extent, as the rear supports fold up against the front ones and permit of the device being stood up against the wall or In a corner. The stepladder of the familiar type Is of wood, and for this reason Its folding capacity was paore or less limited, but / \f \\\ LADDER PARTLY CLOSED, the most recent improvement, in this very useful household Implement makes use of metal instead of wood enables the thing to be given a double fold which squeezes its bulk down to that of a clothes prop. Being of metal, the construction is exceedingly light and though very frail in its appearance is exceedingly strong and practically everlasting. After the bade legs have been folded against the front- ones the sides of the device are drawn together by means of a hinge joint in the center of each step and in the top platform. In folding this saves r the space of the width of the ladder, and the whole thing collapsed can almost be spanned by the two hands. Table Mustard. One teaspoonful of English mustard, two teaspoonfuls of flour, one teaspoonful of sugar, one-quarter teaspoonful of salt; mix thoroughly, add enough boiling water to make a thick mixture, then enough vinegar to thin it to the right consistency for table use, To Clean Silver. Make a strong solution of hyposulphite of soda and leave the spoons, etc., in it for a few minutes. Then rinse in water and dry. The solution may be kept in a crock and used every day. Another method Is to boil the silver in strong alum water, rinse and dry. The Cure of Lumps.

When cleaning knives mix a tiny bit 1 of carbonate of soda with the bath r brick on the knlf eboard. They will polish much more easily. The Lamp Chimney. . If lamp chimneys are held over steam for a few minutes, then polished with a dry cloth, they will not break so easily as when washed. A Kitchen Hint.

Capable of carrying a whole "stable^ fulT of horseless carriages and ?iaip-j ; ped with every device known for mln-j isterlng to cars in distress, the first] railroad car for the exclusive nee off automobiles has made its appearance,' I antra tha Vmv VrtHT TTOPftlil It |S thSl property as well as the invention ofj E. H. R. Green, son of Mrs. Hetty] Green of New York, one of the richeetj women in the world. Mr. Green, who is president of the, Texas Midland railroad* has long been a devotee of automobikng and la ani enthusiast on automobile racing. In! the coarse of hie duties he travels!;-^ about a great deal, and ordinarily the ' problem of the transportation of Ms;-'antoe has been fall of vexation, seJm. set himself to devise tome means of i transporting his four valuable ma-j | chines withoot unnecessary trouble! and risk. The result is this palace cafr;^ for automobiles. *f%) Not only are the machines them-! elves provided for, bet there are'quar-j ten for machinists and drivers aad;a{^ $ machine shop complete in Its appoints * ments. A full stock of extra paztAi from nuts and waaben to. an axtat : carried, and any breakdown on tin. Texas plains coold be repaired almost as quickly as If it took place In Newt v York. Resembling somewhat a combination) baggage and passenger coach, the cat?! is Intended to be hauled in paseenger; ?|j trains only. Its length Is sixty-four; feet six inches, and the entrance for automobiles Is at one end, the etheir| r j being similar to taat of the ordinary, , vestibuled coach. The car Is divided Into three sec tions, the first of which is given up tfe J the storage of the automobiles. There : Is ample room for four machines, which' ^ are stored by twos, one above another.'J| In this section Is the repair shop, equip-*?! ped with lathes, drill presses and other tools, on one side being lockers for bolts, nuts and all appliances necessary for the repair or equipment of a first class auton^blle. ; ^ In the center of the car Is a smoking.' and reading room, comfortably furnished, and adjoining are sleeping accommodations for six persons. The macnines are ioau?u vu uw u or, more properly, into the car, byj means of runways at the large opcn-JV^ tag, at which, by the why, there Is ai strong doable door. Il is possible to ran them on board under their own power. Mr. Green is the owner of four mobiles, a Renault, a Franklin, a FopeToledo and a 1906 model White. Mr. Green's new racing machine Is entered1 in the Florida races, and he will while at Ormond use his car as a garage.; His invention will doubtless be thrown open for the inspection of visitors, who will find much to marvel at In the com- . * pleteness of Its arrangements. It has?* already cansed an amount of wond*R J that Is little short of sensational in Texas, and automobOists of that state are In high feather over this achieved ment of one of their number. m A JUDGE'S MARRIAGE FfE8*|:-| Kumi Jurist Married 8*100 Coayftee < and Beeelred Ortr ^88*000. . -:t Laurens Hawn, who recently retire* |i from the position of probate judge o? :: Leavenworth county, Kan., after a 'T3 continuous service of twenty-tworp years will resume the practice of lair/ and it la said that he may becomft candidate for district judge four year* 'M hence, says a Leavenworth (Kan.) cor- jj respondent of the Kansas City Stir.
