Thursday, June 22,1905 What has become of Bamberg's cotton warehouse project? Other towns in the State are forming stock companies to build such warehouses, and Bamberg ought not to be left behind. We need the warehouse, and ought to have it ready for the fall season. But what is to be done should be done quickly. The matter should be revived at once and pushed forward to a successful conclusion. * * * We have read with much pleasure the story of the reconstruction period of South Carolina by Mr. John S. Reynolds, which has been running in The State for some months. It is written without passion or prejudice, and is a valuable addition to the history of those trying times. We hope to see the articles published in fnrm The vouth of our State should be informed on happenings of those few |lf dark years. * * * The prohibitionists and temperance ( people better be careful how they follow the lead of the anti-dispensaryites. Because one is against the dispensary, it does not follow that he is for prohibition r by any manner of means. All this dispensary agitation which has sprung up recently is simply sentiment against the dispensary and does not mean that we .are to have prohibition. Better be careful that our last state is not worse than te-'/ the first. **# Brother Knight, of the Bamberg Herald I' must lead a very strenuous life. There appeared in his paper of last week two v clippings?one editorial and the other local?from the Advertiser. We are constrained to believe that he was too busy to give due credit. Of course he would not deliberately purloin them.?Edgefield jh~.. Advertiser. No, we would not knowingly steal your thunder, brother. We try to always give itcredit, and sometimes give it when it is not deserved. We do not remember the clippings in question, and they must have been clipped by some of the force when we were out of the office. ? Read the Sign. Pat Hennessy, a staunch democrat here, was anxious to vote for Parker at the recent election but as his name did not appear on the voting list, and he could neither read nor write, it looked as if his cherished ambition would never materialize. But Moran, his son-in-law, saw a way around the difficulty, says the Boston || . Herald. "Father," he said, "go up to the City Hall and tell the clerk you want to register. When he' asks you to read, tell him you've left your glasses and can't see the print. There's a sign on the wall up there that reads: 'No Smoking Allowed in This Room.' Read that for him and I t- guess 'twill cover the law." . Pat did as he was bidden. Before the clerk of registration he acted his part so well that the official granted him permission to read the sign as a proof of his education abilities. Pat approached the placard, and in deep impressive tones, read: "Don't be smoking here." Just Meandering. A city girl writes: "It is a fond dream of mine to become a farmer's wife and meander with him down life's pathway." Ah vps. that is a nice thine: but when your husband meanders off and leaves you without wood and you have to meander up and down the lane pulling splinters off the fence to cook dinner, and when you meander out across 20 acres of ploughed ground with a club to drive the hogs out of the cornfield and tear your dress on the barb wire fence, when you meander back home to the house, find that the billy goat has butted the stuffin' out of your child, and find the old hen with forty chickens in the parlor, you'll put your hands on your hips and realize that meandering is not what it is cracked up to be.

The man who pledges himself to a good cause and fails to be true to himself, has ; taken the initial step towards poverty of ' the heart. I The deepest experience -which comes to some men is measured in the depth of ' the cup. ! How much more consoling is silence : than the consolation of some people. ; Some men with their talents are like the Russian czar with his ships; they bury . them in the sea of despair and never admit their folly. Obscurity is delightful for the man; it is the fool who parades himself for publicity. The sun am er shinin' It's er gittin' warm, But Ise er gwine ter stay here In my home sweet home. De breeze am er blowin' De rain am er comin' De crops am er growin' An a tune I'm erhummin'. Ise heerd de accusation Ob de town er gittin' poor An de only consolation Am er wolf at der door. But de sun am er shinin', An ebry where I roam I find myself er pinin' For my home sweet home. The man who speaks a good word for his town whenever opportunity presents itself is a citizen; the other man is an alien. Goats often stray into paths of destruction which have been made by the black sheep of some other flock. To a Book. Old friend would I call you .

The Columbia State has done a noteworthy piece of work, and incidentally enrolled itself on the list of discoverersdiscoverers not of some great continent, neither of some new satellite, nor still of ? ? ? ? ?- V\11 f /VHOfitAfi fVton oil SUUIC UCW bticutc?yui gigatvi tuuu uu these?it has discovered a poet, namely Aaron Mullins, of Florence. And what could be more appropriate than for this new harp of the South to come from this flower-like name of a town. We must confess our indebtedness to our contemporary for this service. The notable lines ending with "Theodore Roosevelt" and "bosomfelt" are classic and would make even Mr. Alfred Austin, England's indefinable laureate, smack his lips with envy. So we rush to make obeisance at the feet of Mr. Mullins; and again thank most heartily the State for its noble work in this particular case. There is a great deal t>eing said already for a "safe and sane" fourth of July; "a stitch iu time, etc." Well may Cuba mourn the death of Maximo Gomez; much good did he do for the Queen of the Antilles. Proved His Teacher Wrong. Little Willie's father found his youthful son holding up one of his rabbits by the ears and saying to him: "How much is seven times seven, now?" "Bah," the father heard the boy say, "I knew you couldn't. Here's another one: ; Six times six is how much?" "Why, Willie, what iu the world are you doing with your rabbit?" asked the father. Willie threw the rabbit down with disgust. "I knew our teacher was lying to us," was all he said. "Why, how?" asked his father. "Why, she told us this morning that roViViitc troro tho frroutocf rrml f ir>l iprc in i the world. If in a kind of bilious mood, You wish an aid to digest food, 2so other pill is half so good As DeWitt's Little Early Risers. The famous little pills Early Risers cure constipation, sick headache, biliousness, etc. They never gripe or sicken, but impart early rising energy. Good for either children or adults. Bob Moore, of LaFayette, Ind., says: "No use talking, DeWitt's Little Early Risers do their work. All other pills I have used gripe and make me sick. DeWitt's Little Early Risers brought the long sought relief. They are perfect." Sold by H. F. Hoover. John E. Hensbaw of "The Sho-Gun" company while in the South recently overheard a conversation between two "gentlemen of color" who were discussing the fine points of religion. "Epbraim, why don't you come an jine de army of de Lawd?" "I's already a member of de army of de Lawd. I's a Baptist." "Why, you fool nigger," said the first speaker, "Baptists don't b'longto de army of de Lawd. Dey b'longs toYle navy." Popular Excursions Via Southern Railway.

He Sh ot To Kill Robinson's Strange Thirst For 'Blood and Its Tradio Result. u HeSletv JFt%)e "Persons. Wounded Another and Then Turned His *Rei)ohfer on Himself. The "Death "Roll. Riding his bicycle about, with a loaded rifle on his shoulder and a revolver in his pocket, W. P. Robinson deliberately sought out persons to kill and shot them down as a hunter shoots rabbits, says a San Diego (Cal.) corre TTE "PTRTTn TITS PTSTOL. AQAIK. spondent of the New York Press. When he found no one else to murder in the home of W. EL Doddridge, internal revenue collector, the last house that he visited, he climbed on a bed and blew out his own brains. The dead are William Stewart, Mrs. Emma Stewart, EL W. Chase, Harry Doddridge and W. P. Robinson; the wounded, Mrs. W. H. Doddridge, shot in the back; W. H. Doddridge, injured by falling out of a window. Robinson left his room and went to the apartment of Mrs. Emma Stewart, the landlady. He knocked at the door. Mrs. Stewart replied. "Good morning," said Robinson politely. ""What can I do for you?' answered the landlady. In reply Robinson leveled a rifle and shot her. He then entered the dining room, where William Stewart, the son, was Just rising from the table. Taking a long knife from his pocket, he plunged it into young Stewart's body close to the heart ' * * ?I-IJ JiJ Apparently two victims uiu nut satisfy Robinson's craving for human sacrifice, and, going back to his apartment, he reloaded the rifle, placed a revolver in his pocket and descended to the first floor, where there is a carpenter shop. H. W. Chase, the owner of the shop, was at work when Robinson entered. The two chatted pleasantly for a moment, and then Robinson, without warning, fired a bullet into Chase's head. From the shop Robinson descended to the street, where he mounted his bicycle. With the rifle on his shoulder he rode through the business section of the city without molestation direct to the home of W. H. Doddridge, internal revenue collector. Harry Doddridge, son of the collector, opened the door. "What do you want?" asked young Doddridge. "Oh, I just dropped around here," answered Robinson. Doddridge, not knowing what to make of the man's actions, was about to close the door when Robinson drew his revolver and fired at him. The young man dropped dead with a bullet just above the heart. Mrs. Doddridge, the young man's mother, heard the shot and, seeing her son fall, ran screaming from the house. Robinson, who saw her leave the house, made no effort to stop her. After the woman reached the street, however, he determined to make a victim of her and gave chase. When he got sufficiently close he fired his pistol again, the bullet entering her back. She fell and was removed later to a hospital, where it was said that she was not expected to live. Mr Doddridae was in bed on the sec ond floor when be beard tbe shots. He looked out of tbe window In time to see bis wife fall with tbe bullet In bar back. In bis excitement be either jumped or fell ont of the window, sustaining Internal Injuries. The firing of the pistol had cleared tbe street of persons. Robinson looked, around and, seeing no one at whom he; could fire, entered tbe bouse in search i of further victims. He failed to find! any, and then he went to the second (| floor and climbed Into the bed which had just been vacated by Doddridge.; Turning on his side, he fired a bullet' into his own brain. Robinson had remained cool throughout his hunt and seemed rational. * * . fL - I H( (Weather 3? Such hot days cer J thin dresses.
