Thursday, May 4,1905 We should all remember that city council cannot do much unless it has the support of the citizens of the town. No law can be-enforced unless1 public sentiment favors it. We feel stfre our council will be glad to receive suggestions in regard to town improvements. * * * Col. E. H. Aull, editor of the Newberry Herald and News, is being spoken of as a candidate for Secretary of State. Col. Aull is president of the South Carolina Press Association, and is deservedly pupnlar with the pencil pushers. He is well and favorably known throughout the State, and will be a hard man to beat should he enter the race, we saggesi 10 him-bowever, that it would be a good thing to retire some of Newberry's gubernatorial candidates. Several candidates /or State offices from one county might prove embarrassing. * * * Now that the small pox situation is well in hand, in fact the disease being practically eliminated from Bamberg we can say a few words on the subject without being considered personal. The v few cases here have cost the tax payers considerable money as well as being a public menace to our population. Quarantines Are costly, and there is only one remedy. All our people should be successfully vaccinated, for the disease is likely to appear > here again. The authorities have worked hard, and council and the board of health have had unpleasant duties to perform. Now, an "ounce of prevention is worth a nf onre." and the town should not i~UU? ? 7 have to go through another such experience. There is no safety except in vaccination, and every one owes this duty to the community as well as one's self. Don't wait for an outbreak of small pox to have yourself and family vaccinated, bnt do it now. The Delineator for June. .?? .t A striking cover design, a girl's head in pastel, by George Gibbes, introduces the reader of the June Delineator to a varied and interesting table of contents, supplei v mented by a complete summary of the ' season's styles. In the literary portion of the magazine, Weymer Jay Mills contributes the first of a series of "Romances of Summer Resorts," which promise much of interest, pictorially and otherwise. A noteworthy feature also is F. Berkley Smith's'description of "A Corner in Nor mandy," an enjoyable travel sketch that s gives more than a passing glance at one of the most curious nooks in the Old World. For the benefit of those who have the collecting instinct, N. Hudson Moore writes on old glass, in "The Collector's Manual," and Dr. Murray discusses the care of the eyes and ears in a paper that will appeal particularly to 1 young mothers and those who have the care of children. Newman's hymn, ''Lead, Kinc^y Light," is the subjeet of a paper j by Allan Sutherland in the series "Famous Hymns oi the World."

Grace MacGowan Cooke adds a chapter in the amusing history of Son Riley Rabbit; and L. Frank Baum gives an animal fairy tale, called "The PeaGreen Poodle," both of which will delight the little folks. In addition, there are house plans and house-furnishing ideas, and many pages devoted to the particular interests of the home, including, among other features, a paper on "The .Practical ( Side of the Wedding," and a variety of suggestions for kitchen economy. An Expensiye Reminder. When George Roberts was president of the Pennsylvania railway he chided a conductor who went by him without looking at his pass. "No matter if you do know who I am," said Mr. Roberts, in reply to the conductor's excuse, "I am entitled to a rfree ride only when I am traveling with that pass. You don't know whether I have it or not." The conductor, a little nettled, then demanded to see the pass. "That's right!" exclaimed the president; "here?why?where?well, I must have left it at the office." "Then you'll have to pay your fare," said the conductor, firmly. And so Mr. Roberts did. His lecture cost him $5. Explained. Wife?"George, how could you keep urging Mr. Brown to have some more ice R: cream when I warned you before dinner not to ask him, for the supply was limited." ^ George?"Why my dear?will you pardon me?I entirely forgot?" Wife?"But when I Kept kicking you under the table?I was afraid he was going to accept your invitation?I know he wanted more. I don't know what made him decline. Fortunately he did, or I don't know what I should have done." George (calmly)?"Kicking me? You didn't kick me." 1 - 1 EXPRESSING THEIR GRATITUDE.

"A traveling friend, with a sense of humor and methodical habits which permit her to write letters even on one-night stands, tells me of her acquaintance with a 'Southern character,' says a Dramatic Mirror writer. "He is the manager of the Hagerstown, Md., opera house and is too modest to have his name on the programs. Every one calls him 'colonel.'* Robert Mantell had occasion to compliment the colonel while he was playing Richelieu in his house. " 'Your audience is of exceptionally fine appearance, colonel', he observed. " 'Yes,' observed the colonel. 'They're the best in town'.' "It was what the papers delight to term 'a representative audience.' The Mrs. Astor, of Hagerstown, was there with her court. Society was out in its most sumptuous evening dress. * Women were elaborately gowned, and exquisitely coiffed, but there was not the tiniest semblance of a hat in the house. Every chapeau was in the dressing room or had been left at home. "Noting this, Robert Mantell said: 'The ladies of your city are more considerate of others in the audience than in most places. How have you overcome the hat habit?" x " 'Noticed the program?' asked the manager. " 'No.' "The colonel drew a big pink folder from his pocket. He pointed to a legend in big type immediately below the cast: " 'All ladies over 40 years of age will keep their hats on.' "The colonel looked at the star with solemn eyes. " 'There isn't a woman in Hagerstown over 40 years old.'" When e'er you feel impending ill, And need a magic little pill, No other one will fill the bill, Like DeWitt's LittleEarly Risers.

He sat on the fence, swinging his heels and humming a kindergarten song. "Oh you darling!" cried an impulsive young woman pouncing upon him and giving him a hug. "Has your mother any more like you? Have you any- little brothers?" "Yep," replied the angelic boy, "got thr^e. Me and Jack and Bill and Frank." "Which one do you like best?" "Jack, I guess," replied the youngster after a moment of deep thought. "Yep, I like Jack best?" "And why," asked the young woman, "do you like Jack best?" " 'Cause he did such a lovely errand for me once." "What was that lovely errand?" "He bit Billy on the leg," replied the sweetly serious cherub. "Why," pursued .the young woman, "didn't you do your own biting?" " 'Cause I hate the taste of Billy's legs," was the calm reply.

A Fight With a Shar\ "Beneath the XVaxJ+t?Hcad Grazed by a Falling TbocK, The adventures of divers are often very exciting and sometimes even romantic. It takes pluck to make the descents into ocean depths a diver no-^ and again bas to make, and curious things are liable to happen. In relating such experiences a writer In the Wide THE HUGE STONE GRAZED HIS HEAD. World Magazine tells some strange stories of adventure by English divers, some of which are given as follows: Perhaps one of the most thrilling and dangerous expeditions ever undertaken by a diver was -that of Messrs. Slebe & Gorman's bead diver, Alexander Lambert, in connection with the Severn tunnel It was a deed of tremendous pluck and deserves to rank with the most valorous acts ever performed in the blood heat of battle. The workings of the Severn tunnel were flooded, and there was sixty feet of water in the 200 foot shaft The flood was tearing through a doorway, the iron door of which was open, from the main tunnel lhto a smaller tunnel about eight feet wide and the same high. This tunnel was distant atyut a quarter of a mile from the bottom of the shaft and was nearly full of water and debris. The task that had to be performed was for somebody to make bis way' to the Iron door and close it thus stopping the inrush of water. Lambert volunteered to do It He was equipped witn an ordinary diving dress, except that be had neither air tube nor life line. Hie latter, in fact, would have been quite useless. In place of the former he carried with him a supply of oxygen in a small reservoir and a crowbar. He descended the 200 foot shaft through the sixty feet of water and then made bis way along the eight foot tunnel for a quarter of a mile, the whole time battling with all kinds of obstructions, but finally reaching the doorway in safety. Lambert found that the door was held fast by some stout iron rails, which called for pretty hard wort: to release them. He attacked his task with considerable energy, being anxious to complete it and return victorious. The diver became so absorbed in what he was doing that be quite forgot for die time being the exceptional conditions under which he was working and gave no thought to his supply of oxygen. Then suddenly it flashed across bis mind that the precious gas must be getting pretty now, and as It would nave to last turn during uae journey back be decided to return at once and leave bis work for the present unfinished. So be set off as quickly as be could, now stumbling over a pile of debris, now battling with a swirling eddy and hoping against hope all the time that the oxygen would not give out and leave him to perish miserably in that flooded tunnel He succeeded in reaching the top of the shaft In safety, but when bis air tank came to be examtned It was discovered that there was only sufficient oxygen left to have lasted for another two or three minutes! Thus almost by a miracle bis life bad been preserved. One would suppose that such a narrow escape would have daunted a man from making a further attempt, but Lambert knew no fear. Again he descended the shaft journeying through the sixty feet of water and along that perilous quarter mile of tunnel to the doorway, where he completed his task and returned triumphant One of the most remarkable mishaps I ever heard of happened to a diver named Quick. He was working at the Penarth docks and descended to repair an Injury to the bows of a vessel which had bad a bole knocked in It i by an anchor. The bole had been filled up with cotton waste, and Quick weni down to fix a plate over It Powerfu pumps were at work above emptying ' the vessel of water. While busy be low Quick inadvertently knocked om the cotton waste, and the treinendouf suction caused by the pumping drev; the diver in by the elbow and held hiii: fast and helpless. His first and prim cipal anxiety was to release himself so be struggled violently, but this onlj made matters worse and landed bhr farther into the hold of the vessel Then be tried to get at his life line but owing to his peculiar position h< was unable to reach it, being securelj pinned on both sides. While the diver hung there helpless dreading what would happen next, hii dress became torn?only a slight rent but the water percolated through an<! gradually rose inside toward his bel met Was ever a man in a more terri ble position?held fast against a ship's side by an irresistible force and liter : ally drowning by inches? Quick gav< up hope. And then a remarkable thins happened. Having reached to the leve of his chin, the water stopped, hek back by the pressure of air In bis bel met In this awful predicament on able to move and dreading that an} moment some alteration of pressure would set the water flowing once more Quick remained for a couple ol hours, when It suddenly occurred U those above that something must b< wrong below. Divining the nature a: the trouble, they at once proceeded t< pump water back into the vessel, witi the result that the unfortunate divei was soon washed out of the trap lnt< which he had been drawn and hauled up to the surface. Another diver, W. G. Nutklns, wai engaged in blasting operations in Xev port docks, where a huge wall was be ing blown away. The method adoptee was to deposit dynamite in the inter stices of the wall and then clay it up the charge being fired with a battery The work of thus loosening the largi blocks of stone had been successfully accomplished, and the. task of hauling them up to the surface was the nex proceeded with. The blocks were fixe<! into a large hook and taken up by i crane. One of the blocks while ens pended slipped from the hook and fel to the bottom. All those above wb< saw It fall?just about the spot when Nutklns was supposed to be workingnever thought to see that;diver agaiz "alive. As a matter of fact, the grea stone just escaped him, but oo neai was it to him that it grazed his head. Diver Lambert's combat with a ah art is absolutely authentic. While engaged on some repairs to a ship's bottom th< diver became conscious that some largt body was moving near him. Qaalng into the shadowy depths, he thought h< could make (Kit the grayish form oi some formidable creature, but was un able to define what It was. It wai not long before he was able to make out clearly what it was that menacec hhn, as the mysterious creature ven ' tured in closer and revealed Its lden tlty In the shape of a big shark. Notb lng particular happened that day, th< shark merely contenting himself witt watching the diver. The next day Ik IHMMi mrnsmmfflgm? HE PXrUXOBD THE E3JXPB IS THE CRKA tcbeIb side came again and simply watched, bin nothing more. The third day saw birr jit his post again. At last this con tlnoal espionage got too much for tb< diver, and he determined to bring mat ters to a head. The fourth day arrived and so did the shark. Thereupon Lam bert signaled for a large knife and t looped rope to be sent down. He bait ed the shark with his bare band, an in vitation which was promptly accepted On came the great brute straight foi the hand, and, having arrived withiz striking distance, he turned over oz Ms back, as is the custom with sharki when attacking, and shot forward. Bu at that moment the hand was quickly withdrawn and the diver's knif< plunged Into the creature's side, crlm sonlng the surrounding water. Like t flash the shark turned and came at hin again, bnt Lambert dodged the on slaugbt and once more sheathed hli knife in the brute's side. So this strange fight to a finish went on til finally the diver triumphed, and a fev minutes later the carcass of the ahari was being drawn to the surface in tb< looped rope. Lambert keeps the crea tore's backbone as a memento of th< duel I SW?
