Is it not about time for the Aiken law
and order league to be getting in some
work?
*
* *
Two men in Charleston have a patent
on a cotton picker, which is said to be
simple enough to do the work satisfactorily.
A man in Williston, Barnwell
county, has invented a brick laying machine,
which, it is claimed, will do the
work of several hands and do it properly..
If these two machines can do what it is
claimed for them, they will certainly
' revolutionize the labor question in this
section of the country. Most of our cotton
picking and brick laying is done by
negro labor.

The Columbia Slate last Sunday carried
four pages of advertising for one dry
goods store in that city, which breaks the ,
record for Columbia. But Sumter was
ahead of Columbia by several weeks, for
some time ago a merchant there used four
full pages of The Herald in one issue.
These are two of the most prosperous
towns in the State, and the reason of it is
that not only the merchants but every
one else believes in advertising their town
and its advantages. Bamberg would
grow faster if we had a few good advertisers.

We have no quarrel with the counties
who are making efforts to vote the dispensaries
out of their borders. We wish '
we could believe that a strong temper- ;
ance and sobriety sentiment was respon- '
Bible for such action. But we cannot 1
think so, and we greatly fear conditions 1
will be worse in some counties without 1
, dispensaries than with them. The reason ^
for all this agitation is the widespread dis- J
satisfaction of the people generally with 1
the system or rather with the way it is
managed. Rumors of corrupt practices ]
have become so rife that the great mass t
? of
people have begun to think there it *
< something wrong and nothing will do 1
them but the overthrow of the whole 3
, thing. We feared such a course, and our 3
columns will show that long since we *
sounded the note of warning. We said s
there would have to be a decided change s
in the way matters were being carried on a
or the people would rise in their might J
and do away with the system. That our
prediction is coming true does not cause u
us pleasure. We are not glad to say "I
told you so." We believe in sobriety and y
temperance, but we do not think voting ^
dispensaries out of counties is a means to
iv. that end. t

Now is the Time to Subscribe.
It is never safe to borrow the newspaper
to which your neighbor subscribes and
for which he pays. Read the following j
account, given by the Kansas City Jour- s
nal, of what happened to a man in that p
part of the country who kept up with the T
progress of events at the expense of the 0
man who took the paper: a
"A man who was too economical to f
subscribe for his home paper sent his little
boy to borrow the copy taken by hig ^
neighbor. In his haste the boy ran over
a $4 stand of bees and in ten minutes n
looked like a warty summer squash. V
His cries reached his father, who ran to J
his assistance, and failing to notice a
barbed wire fence, ran into it breaking it
down, cutting a handful of flesh from tl
his anatomy and ruining a $5 pair of F
pants. The old cow took advantage of
the gap in the fence and got into the cornfield
and killed herself eating green corn.
Hearing the racket, the wife ran, upset a
four-gallon churn of rich cream into a to
basket of kittens, drowning the whole fi
flock. In her hurry she dropped a $25 jj(
set of false teeth. The baby, left alone,
crawled through the spilled cream and e<
crawled into the parlor, ruining a $20 r(
carpet. During the excitement the oldest iE
daughter ran away with the hired man, n(
the dog broke up eleven setting hens, and
the calves got out and chewed the tails 01
off of four fine shirts." ir
It might have been worse. oj
Question of Similtude.

despise education. "
"You have been to college, I suppose?" pi
asked the latter.
"I have, sir," was the curt reply.
"I am thankful," said the ignorant one,
"that the Lord has opened my mouth to S?
preach without learning." st
"A similar event occurred in Balaam's h,
time," was the retort.?Harper's Weekly, g
Launching was Premature.
Senator McLaurin launched his "Com- is
mercial Democracy" in South Carolina ti
four years too ^oon. If he had waited tl
until now the chances for his success tc
would have been much greater. There si
are those who see signs of coming activity 31
in that gentleman and perhaps he may di
again become a live wire in politics. He vs
has many friends in the State and many cc
who are believers in the work he under- m
took to do when he was in public life, cc
And there are many who scoffed at his p(
doctrines four years ago who would be te
glad now to give patient and careful th
.hearing to them.?Spartanburg Journal. T
About Lawyers.
Moving for a new trial?popping tc
Mrs. number 2.
In the olden time, when a man had a
lawsuit, he had to hire a lawyer; now he
has to hire judge, lawyer and jury.
"What shall I do to collect this bill?"
a butcher asked his lawyer. The man of
law reached forth his hand for a retainer,
but said briefly, "Suet."
A little boy was asked the other day if
he knew where the wicked finally go.
He answered, "They practice law here
for a spell and then go to the legislature."
Two tawvers while bathinsr at Santa
Cruz, were chased out of the water by
sharks. This is the most flagrant case of
want of professional courtesy on record.
A dying client sent for two lawyers, of
course to draw the will they supposed he
would make. Judge of their surprise
when his request was that one stand on
each side of him, so that he could die
like Jesus Christ!
A celebrated lawyer said that the three
most troublesome clients he ever had
were a young lady who wanted to be
married, a married woman who wanted a
divorce, and an old maid who didn't know
what she wanted.
"Gentleman of the jury." said a blundering
counsel in a suit about a lot of hogs,
"there were just thirty-six in the drove.
Please remember the fact?thirty-six-just
three times as many as in that jury box,
gentlemen.
"Where is that twelfth juror?" exclaimed
an Idaho Judge, on-the court
resuming business after recess, frowning
as he spoke at the eleven jurors in the
box, one of whom rose and said: "Please,
Judge, it's Ike Simmons as is gone. He had
to go on privet business, but he left his
vurdick with me."
"In a lawsuit between two members of
the same church, counsel for one of the
parties suggested tliat the brethren ought
to defer their differences for adjustment
to the higher court above. To which the
client responded that the same idea had
occurred to him, but there seemed to be
an obstacle in the way?he couldn't contrive
any way to get his lawyer there.
Two attorneys were wrangling for a
long time before Judge Knox, of Virginia,
over a point of law. His Honor rendered
his decision, and the sprig who had lost
impudently remarked: "Your Honor,
there is a growing opinion that all the
fools are not dead yet." "Certainly,"
answered the court, with unruffled good
aumor, "I agree with you, Mr. B.and congratulate
you upon your healthy appearance."
During the cross-examination of the
alaintiff, the following pointed colloquy
ook place between him and the defendant's
attorney: "Were you ever in Coumbia?"
"Yes, sir." "How long were
rou there!" "Six months, sir." "Were
rou in the penitentiary at the time?"
'Yes, sir; but I never was in the Assembly,
ir." The rejoinder was enjoyed by the
pectators, who remembered that the
ittorney did once occupy a seat in the
louse.?Barnwell Sentinel.
Bridget?I'll nov to De ravin ye, ma am,
mless ye give me more wages.
Mrs. Hiram Offen?More wages? Why,
'ou don't know how to cook and you
lon't even know how to wash dishes
roperly.
Bridget?Thot's jist it, ma'am. The
fork's harder forme bekase I don't know
iow to do it.?Philadelphia Press.
The Atlantic.
The Atlantic Ocean is a large body of
leavy swells with erest lying east of Ellis
sland. It is used extensively by ocean
teamers for conducting bridge and poker
>arties to and from London and Paris.
?ramps can be seen upon it at all hours
f the day and night, and the red lights
re always out.
This ocean is calm at.times but when
ully aroused is capable of great extremties.
It is no respector of persons, and
ften makes you sick just to look at it.
Vhen crossed it almost always responds.
Strange to say, it is affected by the
loon, and tries to rise up out of its bed to
)ok at it. It is also largely commercial
n its aspect, and even has trade winds of
;s own.?Puck.

Jefferson's Prayer and Poultice.
The late Joseph Jefferson was suddenly
iken ill while visiting at the home of a
iend. The wife of the gentleman whose
ospitality he had enjoyed became alarm1
over his condition, and, being of a
iligious turn of mind, wished to instill
l the mind of the actor her belief in the
ecessity fof spiritual contemplation. A
ill to his room for the purpose of applyig
a poultice gave her the much desired
pportunity.
"Mr. Jefferson," she said, nervously
lifting the poultice from one hand to the
ther, "for your sake, for the sake of your
lends, your family, I?I would like to
ray for you."
The actor listened attentively, and his
aswer came slowly. "Yes madam," he
tid, "you may?for my sake, for your
tke, for everybody else's sake, but for i
eaven's sake, put on that poultice."? <

LITTLE
LANTERNS of
THE SOUL |
By SIDNEY H. COLE
1 Copyright, 1905, by T. C. McClure
In the library of the villa the two
men faced each other. The little red
1 shaded lamp dimly lighted the big, Insurious
room. Outside the last traces of
, the soft Italian twilight were fading in
the west, and the first of the myriad
stars were blinking, uncertain yellow
dots in tbe blue velvet sky.
Orne senior lifted his piercing black
eyes and looked at his son searchlngly.
"You're a common ne'er do well," he
burst out, "a gambler, a loafer, a rake.
You squander a rortune at tne gaming
tables and come whining to me for
more money to lose. Get your money
where you lost It I'm through with
you.'*
Young Orne drew himself up. MFa-'
tber**? he began.
"I'm done with you," the older man
thundered. "I wash my hands of you.
As God is my Judge, I'll cut you off
without a cent Go out Into the world
and stand on your own feet or sink
into the mire of ruin you're been delving
in. If s all one to me,"
Young Orne strode silently to the
door, turned, hesitated, then hurried
through the hall Into the soft night
without The last streak of red was
gone from the west Par below him at
the foot of the slope the little village
was agleam with lights. He noticed
that even in the trees tiny luminous
pin points of light shone steadily. Then
he remembered that it was St John's
eve and that the lights were a part of
the fiesta.
He descended the steps and strode
across the terraces and through the
villa gardens. As he came to a group
of olive trees Just beyond the sundial
he saw dimly a girlish figure standing
beneath one of the trees. There was
the rasp of a match, a tiny Chinese
lantern was lighted, and in its mellow
glow he saw plainly the girl's upturned
face as she reached up to fasten the
lantern to a low hancrinflr branch. It
was Ethelyn Hope, the daughter of
his father's oldest friend, who had made
her home with the Ornes since her parents'
death. That was years back,
when Ethelyn was a little girl in
frocks. Now she was eighteen, tall,'
graceful and sweet alike in feature and
in temper.
Young One came into the little circle
of light cast by the lantern. There was
an old stone seat beneath that particular
olive tree, and he sank into it
"Celebrating?" he asked.
"Yes," she said, pointing to the lantern.
"It is a little lantern of the
soul"
"A what?" he asked in laughing perplexity.
1
"A little lantern of the soul," she re- <
peated. "You hang them on olive trees <
and say little prayers for the souls i
they represent I heard Pietro and i
the cook talking about them today. I :
made them explain."
"I see," said he. "Who's soul is i
this?" And he pointed to the lantern. J
"I haven't decided as yet" she said,
and added quickly, "I think it will be i
vours" <
"By all means let It be so," be acquiesced.
"Heaven knows I'm sadly
in need of pious prayers just now."
"Are you in trouble?" she asked.
"Have you and Uncle Orne been quarreling
again?"
He smiled with ironic bitterness.
"Oh, there's been a slight tiffH' he said
easily.
"That is bad," she said, with ready
sympathy.
"It ended by?by?well, to use bold
words, by his kicking me out," said he.
Her face became serious. "He didn't
really mean it, of course. He'll be sorry
before morning."
"I hope so," he said. "You can let me
know if he is," he ended lightly.
"I let you know?" she said, frightened
by his tone. "You're not?not really
going?"
erne's face darkened. All the rankling
bitterness his father's words had
inspired was upon him again.
"I may be all he called me and
more," he said, with an ominous calmness,
"but I still have some pride left
I have to be shown the door but once."
The girl's hands trembled violently t
as she leaned against the olive tree. c
Orne, with his head bowed sullenly, did
not notice this. When he raise! his p
eyes she was still leaning against the *
tree. He saw a strange new light in
her eyes, and all at once he realised
that she was no longer a child, but a ^
woman and that her woman's heart
was his. The fact that there was love
in Ms own neart was as much or a
shock to him as the discovery of this
answering love in hers. He could have
cried out with thi Joy and pain of it
He rose to his feet pale and shaken.
"I must be going," he said roughly.
"Going?" she asked blankly. "Going
where?"
He laughed harshly. "I've all the ?
world to choose from," he said bitterly.
He drew her gently to him. For one ?
moment her head rested on his shoul- "
der and her soft brown hair brushed ^
his cheek. . n
Orne senior had long entertained an b
Idea. It was that some day his son 8
would steady down and marry Ethelyn. v
But, being a wise old man and know- ?
Ing too well the dangers of match
making, he said nothing of this either ^
to his son or his ward. Now as he sat a
In the library after the stormy inter- a
clew with his son he felt that his hopes a
lad received their deathblow. For a p
long time he sat by the red shaded P
lamp, pondering deeply. Then he rose j n
tnd went into the gardens. I ^
He walked rapidly up and down the | P
terraces for a time, his bead bared to
the warm light air. He saw the light in
the olive tree and went down the path
to investigate. As he neared the tree
he canght the sound of a woman's spasmodic
sobs. He stopped and peered
through the darkness. What he saw
beneath the olive tree lifted a great
weight from his heart and brought a
grim smile to his lips.
"No, no," the girl was saying wildly,
"I cannot let you go. It will break my
heart"
His 6on's voice answered soothingly:
"It is best that I should go, dear. It
won't be for long at the most. I'll
prove Tm worthy of you, and then I'll
AAmo Kn/ktr \m rnfti
"Optimistic young idiot!" muttered
Orne senior as he strode into the circle
of dim light. Ethelyn gave a little startled
cry, and Orne junior glared at him
savagely.
"It seems," said Orne senior, with icy
composure, 'that you haven't made
trouble enough, but must needs add
this Lothario business to your already
large repertory of transgressions."
Young Orne's face went black. His
fists clinched. For a moment It looked
as if be would strike the elder man.
Then with an effort be controlled himself.
"Say what you like about my other
affairs, but kindly leave this to me,"
he said In a voice hoarse with anger.
"You're not worthy to worship the
ground she treads on," said the elder
Orne.
"Good God, don't I know that!" said
his son. He turned on his heel.
"Hold on, Sir Touchstone!" said his
father. "Wait a minute, can't you?"
Young Orne turned. 'Well?" he challenged.
A rare smile curved the mouth of the
elder Orne.
"Your spirit in this thing is all very
fine," he said grimly, "but you'll very
likely find the world a tougher proposition
than you imagine, especially if
you assail it penniless. I said I'd cut
you off without a cent and I will."
The harsh voice softened wonderfully.
"I'll give It to Ethelyn Instead."
He shuffled up the path toward the
villa and left them there In amazed "
silence.
A gust of wind rattled the gray olive
leaves. The little lantern swayed dangerously.
Its paper cover caught fire
from the fluttering candle. There was
a momentary flash of flame, then darkness.
"Tour little lantern of the soul has
gone out," she said.
"Anyway, it stood no show with the
greater light we have found," be replied.
A Bit of Superstition.
"I've beard tales of superstitious
women," said the very obliging young
man to the Philadelphia Record, "but a
woman who lives in our neighborhood
has them all beaten. She occupies a
twin house Just above ours and, despite
her constant dissertations on hoodooism,
Is rather unpopular. The otb- er
day she went out without her key
and when she returned home could not
get In. She was on the pavement al- .
most crying when I came along. Naturally
I offered to assist by climbing
In a window. I went to the twin house
and, climbing through a second story
window, got on the porch. Then I
squeezed through a tiny bathroom winlow
into her bouse. After I opened
tier front door I started to leave, when
she stopped me. With evident embarrassment
she explained that if I left
by any other route than the one by
which I entered death would surely
risit the house. Summed up, she wanted
me to climb back over the roofs.
Well, as she is young and pretty and
t'm obliging, I did it, but you can bet
the next time she loses her key some :
)ne else will jeopardize his life*"

Dlrd in his cot The owner evidently

was a numbered ring on the bird's leg.
The finder at once wrote off to the
general secretary acquainting him with

he ring. By referring to his books the
lecretary soon found the name and adlress
of the owner, who was at once
nade aware of the whereabouts of his

A day or two later the finder received

polite to each other as their
masters. When they meet in the street

ows of the finest and most minute
Igniflcance the gardener of one house 4
rill address the betto (horse groom)
