A man who runs his business without advertising is like a man with green goggles winking at a pretty girl?he may know what he is doing, but no one else does. At the court of general sessions, which will convene in Greenville the first of May, there are seventeen murder cases to be tried. This is a shocking record for that county. There is something on foot; what is it? Nothing connected with politics, but something else. The early closing movement has not struck Bamberg. In most towns of the State all the stores will close at six o'clock every day except Saturday, until September first." Stop, look, listen, and when in need of r stove wood, send your orders to J.

If little work in the court of general ' >; sessions is any indication of a law-abidi:w ing people, then Bamberg county is entitled to the blue ribbon. Since April, 1903, the court of general sessions has had but five days work in that county. When court convened in Bamberg Monday but three cases were taken up; two of the de7 fendants pleaded guilty and the other, a minor case, was quickly disposed of.

JOHNS, OF EHRHARDT, STRUCK BY A TRAIN AND KILLED. Had Been Attending Court as a Bailiff?A Bottle of Whiskey in His Pocket Tells the Sad Story of His Untimely Death. Last Sunday morning the freight and passenger train from Charleston to Augusta, which passes Bamberg about three o'clock in the morning, knocked a j rtflF fKo tro/?V near thft oil mill. The ' UIOU VU WUV viuvn engineer stated that be did not see the | body until the engine struck it, so he presumed the man must have been lying with his head near the rails, on the right side of the track. The train was at once stopped and it was found that the man was dead. The train then came on to the depot and the conductor notified Policeman Dickinson, who stationed a guard at the body for the balance of the night. The body was left lying where it was struck by the engine until about nine o'clock Sunday morning, and before it was moved numbers of people went down to view the horible spectacle. The body was easily identified as that of J. M. Johns, a white man from the Ehrhardt section of this county, who had been in town during the week attending court as a bailiff. He was also the constable for Magistrate J. C. Copeland at Ehrhardt. He was about fifty-five years old, and leaves four children, all about grown, his wife having died a few years ago. . From the position of the body, it was evident that he was lying down and was struck by some part of the engine or pilot. The wheels did not pass over him, the body being thrown to one side of the rails. The skull was badly crushed, a large portion of his brains being poured out between the cross ties. There were several ghastly wounds on the face and head and his right arm was broken between the wrist and elbow. Death must have been instantaneous. A jury of inquest was summoned, and they went down to view the body Sunday morning, then adjourning until Monday. The body was then moved to the court house where it remained until Sunday afternoon, when it was carried to the Ehrhardt section for burial. At the inquest on Monday no additional facts were brought out. The engineer testified as stated above, and so did the conductor, they having been summoned by the coroner. From the testimony it appears that Johns had wandered off down the track alone. He had been drinking during the day and that night and a bottle of whiskey was found in his pocket, also a pistol, watch and some money. We saw Johns about dark Saturday afternoon,'.and he was evidently full of whiskey then. He had no reason to be in that^part of town, and must have been in a wandering mood and becoming tired or stupefied by liquor lay down with his head or body on the ei\ds of the cross ties. The accident occurred just inside the city limits and just J beyond the oil mill spur track. The coroner's jury returned a simple j verdict that he came to his death by being struck by an engine, but unfortunately weall realize thai he was the victim of his own acts. Easter Greeting. Many flowers were filled by the late frost. That's natural. Many more have been distributed on hats of all kinds sold by us. Still many more of the most beautiful arrive daily to adorn those still to go. They are beautiful, stylish and cheap. That's natural. Everything in our line is up-to-date. Call and" get an American Beauty corset. Mrs. K. I. Shuck & Co. Cannot Run for Alderman.' I regret that new duties which have come upon me recently render it impossible for me to make the race for Alderman of the town or to serve if elected. I thank my friends for their confidence, and my fellow citizens can rest assured that nothing but a strong sense of my duty to the interests of others deters me from serving them. G. Frank Bamberg. Two More^ccidents. Monday afternoon at the lawn fete at Mr. H. J. Brabham's residence, little Roy Griffin, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Griffin, fell into a ditch, which was about half full of water. He received a good wetting, but no bad results are likely to follow his I enforced bath. . Tuesday morning while little Carlisle Brabham, son of Mr. and Mrs. Otis Brabham, was on a fence, he fell and in some way received a cut on the throat from the barbed wire on the fence. While the wound is painful it is not at all serious. It seems that Bamberg has been a fearful place for accidents this week. What Percentage. This story is vouched for by an archi tect high in authority at West Point, whose name is not unknown to the world of literature, says the New York Herald. All West Pointers will readily identify him. A cadet was showing a party through the historic building. "It was in this room," said the future officer, "that Gen. Grant received his first commission." "His first commision ? " queried a visitor of frankly commercial appearance. "Is it possible? Yot percentage of commission did he get ? " "The responsibilities of a parent are very great. "Yes," answered Mr. Sirus Barker. "It requires a great deal of self-command for a man to refrain from telling all the bright things his children say. ?Washington Star. INSURANCE ....I WRITE ...

Ninety-nine of every one hundred people who have heart trouble can remember when it was simple indigestion. It is a scientific fact that all cases of heart disease, not organic, are not only traceable to, but are the direct result of indl! gestion. All food taken into the stomach which fails of perfect digestion ferments and swells the stomach, puffing it up against the heart. This interferes with the action of the heart, and in the course of time that delicate but vital organ becomes diseased. Mr. D.

ENTIRE COST WILL BE $.500,000 How One Hundred and Sixty Thousand Acres of Desert Lands Are to Be Redeemed For Agricultural Purposes?Biff Crops of Alfalfa, Grain and Potatoes Are Looked For. On? of the greatest of the irrigation projects now being undertaken by the government In the arid regions of the far west is what is known in official circles aa the Shoshone project in Big Horn county, Wyoming, says the Deseret News of Salt Lake. This is nothing less than a scheme, now fairly launched and under way, for the redemption through irrigation of 160,000 acres of hitherto desert lands spread out to the northeast of the Shoshone river from the town of Cody and formerly known among the Indians of that section as the "Stinking Water," because of the rank sulphurous fumes arising from various vents and crevices in the earth adjoining the stream, which is also more or less impregnated with the chemical. Stinking Water river has proved altogether too uneuphonious for the modern refined ear, and it has been changed to Shoshone. Some years ago Buffalo Bill (Colonel W. F. Cody) sensed what might be done in this section in the way of irrigation and started out to organize a big irrigating company with a view to doing Just what the government is now proposing to do. But it was not long before the immensity of the undertaking impelled him to halt and enter into negotiations with the government to take the Job off his hands. Finally, * ?" '?o?a oflPA rwitr iron induced auviu wwv ^wu*0 ^ .. ? to sign oft all his claims to the lands Immediately under the scope of the project, and then the government took hold. The scheme was placed under the Immediate direction of Civil Engineer J. Ahem of the reclamation bureau of the geological survey for Wyoming and the necessary topographical surveys made. The site of the proposed dam has been located In the Box canyon, half a mile below the junction of the north and south forks and six miles above the town of Cody, where the walls of the canyon are 1*100 feet high, 60 feet wide at the surface of the stream and 160 feet wide at the top of the dam. The dam Is to be 200 feet above the water and 90 feet beneath, where It will be necessary to penetrate to reach solid bedrock. Through the operations of nature this ninety feet has been filled In with bowlders and slabs from the cflffs above, some of them being thirty feet thick. This has been established by Captain Q. A. Hammond and Professor Swendsen, drill experts of the geological survey. So it will be necessary to excavate for that depth, and In the meantime a short tunnel and canal will be ran around the sooth side of the dam site, through which the stream will ram The size of the cross section of the dam has not yet been determined, but will be ample for any pressure that may be brought to bear by 200 feet of water. The water will be set back some eighteen or twenty miles, the forks above being widened from one to three miles, and with such a depth of water Captain Hammond sees no reason why pretty sizeable steamers should not be placed thereon, and this, combined with the remarkable scenery and glorious climate, ought to make any scheme to ' build here a summer watering resort a reasonable one. The elevation at the dam is 5,300 feet above the level of the sea, which is neither too high nor too low for health purposes. The country is a mixture of mountain and wide valley .lands, the latter at present covered with sagebrush and greasewood, but of such a character as will warrant expectations of immense crops of alfalfa, grain and potatoes when once water is spread over it In fact, Captain Hammond says for a potato country this cannot be surpassed, some of the tubers growing to the dimensions of respectable sized pumpkins?that Is, local enthusiasts make that claim. Immense beets are also grown there. The country is a mixture of limestone and sandstone which has been tttted and in many places thrown to one shSe bf an eruption of Silurian granite from tbe beginnings of first things In geology. This granite is very hard and has poshed its way through to the tope of the varioos peaks and will fornish the material tot the dam, The river will furnish 400,000 acre feet per annum, and eighty feet up from the stream bottom headgates will be put in and a tunnel cat through the side hill to the main canal beyond, which is to be fifty miles long, capable of discharging 1,800 second feet There is more water in the local sources of supply than can- be entirely utilized, and when the reservoir Is once full part of the year some of the water will have to run to waste. Seven miles below the dam water will be taken from the canal and dropped 100 feet, where it will be utilized in an electrical power plant for pumping water from tbe canal to one of a higher level for high line distribution. Engineer Ahem Is building a permanent road 800 feet up the canyon and | along the line of the canal to be four I and one-half miles long, two miles of which will be cut through solid rock. He is expending about $7,000 per month for labor hire in thts connection, and It will be a fine piece of engineering when he is through with it The entire cost of the project will be $2?0<V000, and the time required for its cocspledoo wiU be three years.
