Thursday, July 20,1905 Co-operation i? the secret of success in any town or community. If our people will work together for the common welfare of the whole, the coming fall season will be the greatest ever known for tiie material interests of the town. * * * My Gawd! as our good friend, Col. Bacon, would say, where did Ed. DeCamp get that cut he published on the front page of his paper last Friday? We know that he was at White Stone that day, so of course we can't blame him for it. * * Two kinds of meetings are very popular in South Carolina just now. They are being held in many counties on the subject of voting out the dispensary or to discuss the liquor question in some way, and to take steps to get the Presbyterian college, now located at Clinton. It takes lot of wind, and time to consider, when the pocket nerve if concerned. Through the efforts of Editor J. C. Hemphill, Congressman Geo. S. Legare, : and the people of Charleston, the contractors who wanted to put shabby work in the dry dock at Charleston's new navy yard, have been whipped out and the original government inspectors will continue in charge of the work. Thus has another scheme of graft been defeated by ?<- patriotic effort. *** . The Peoples' Advocate, of Anderson, says that it is .a question in Bamberg as to whether we want the dispensary and electric lights or blind tigers and darkness. Our contemporary is mistaken. There is no such question before our |i.people nor will there be. There is no movement on foot to vote the dispensary out of this county, and our remarks of * last week had no local bearing. Personally, and speaking for the people of this county, we would prefer the dispensary with or without electric lights to blind tigers, and there is no prospect of an election being held in this county under the Brice bill. But we believe that the system will be done away with all over the State in the next two years, for so many jvinntipfi will vote it out that the legisla ture will abolish the whole thing. Therefore, with this outlook before us, we do not believe it would be wise for the town > to enter into a contract for thirty years providing for an annual expenditure for electric lights. No, contemporary, you evidently do not understand the matter. Bamberg county will hold on to the dispensary for a while longer at least, but it looks like the State will have prohibition in the next few years. The State Press Association. Little can be said in reference to the annual meeting of the newspaper men of the State at White Stone Springs last week, on account of lack of time and space. More may be said later if occasion permits. The meeting was no doubt the most largely attended ever held, and the papers read on different subjects were of a high order of merit. There was only one objection to the subjects assigned the speakers: We think the mechanical and practical side of the business should have , been discussed more, for that is the real secret of success in the country newsL paper business. Show me a well printed paper with neat ads. and a good outfit : and I'll show you a paper which is doing well and is a good sheet from a news and editorial standpoint. The Association has today the largest membership in its history, and a number of new members came in at this meeting. It was a very pleasant occasion indeed. The newspaper men bring their wives and families', and the meeting is like the assembling of one large family. Every editor in South Carolina owes it to himself to attend these meetings. The new managers of the hotel have made many improvements. The floors ha7e been covered, much painting done, a new water tank erected, and hew machinery and fixtures placed in several departments. The manager, Mr. Samuel Sheftall, invited the editors to meet there next year, and they agreed to do so. It Was Up to Him. A very bashful DeLand fellow recently called upon a rather vivacious young woman in Lake Helena, who had in the room a sweet little cherub?the baby girl be longing to a neighbor. The young man was in a dilemma over the many diarms before him, says the DeLand News, and finally asked if he might be permitted to kiss the baby. The young woman rather pertly replied: "Oh, well, I suppose you can, if you are too cowardly to tackle a person nearer your own size."?Florida Times-Union. "Didn't I hear my wife refer to you as the human mince pie?" said the curious person." "Yes," answered Mr. Sirius Barker. "Is that a compliment?" "Not exactly. She means that I never agree with anybody."?"Washington Star I THE PAS5ER-BY I iiiillliiiiliiiiililllliii ' Mr. K. Shioi in Bamberg. Mr. Shioi, the young man from Japan who lectured in the opera house Thursday evening, was here again Sunday and spoke in the Baptist church. In the afternoon it was my pleasure to have a very pleasant stroll with this Japanese-American student. For eight years . he has studied our language and customs 1? i--- a flnont imp nf uniu Lie uas avijuu^u <* uu??. .. ? English and has made some study of our literature. He, when questioned concerning Japanese literature, stated that the languages of the Chinese and Japanese are becoming united, which will enable them to produce a lasting coterie of literary spirits. He, himself, has transated i McCauley's famous poem of seventy stanzas, Horatious; he finds Coleridge especially to his taste, which is quite natural when one remembers the eminent kinship in spirit of "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" to the weird Japanese nature. The conuersation was extremely inter esting to me, and I was deeply impressed *by this man's apparent interest in things American and occidental. Doubtless unaware that he would be quoted as to his saying, he expressed himself concerning the various towns in this section. "Bamberg," he said, "is ahead far of Denmark, Blackville, Branchville, Allendale, Barnwell, in fact all of the towns any where near here, and I have been greatly pleased with my stay here." "The town," he continued, "is seemingly full of culture and evidently has a progressive spirit in most lines of work." "This is praise from Sir Hubert," and that "is praise indeed." Headstrong.

Mrs. Neighbor?He won't allow him to take any nourishment bat goat's milk. Inherited. ' "lour daughter's music is improving," said the professor, "but when she runs the scales I have to watch her pretty closely." "Just like her father," said Mrs. Nuritch; "he made his money in the grocery line." The Slick Coin. Many tales have been told of attempts to refuse "slick" money, money that has been so worn that, except for its size, it would be impossible to tell itsde nomination, but here is one which may properly be called "the limit." It was told lately by a girl who was one of a small party at an informal gathering in North Portland, 3ays the Portland, (Ore.\Telegram. An Italian entered a restaurant, and after ordering a small meal searched through his pockets for a piece of money which in his judgment should be used in payment. When he walked up to the cashier's desk he .deposited a "slick" quarter, so "slick," in fact, that it was with difficulty the outlines of the eagle on the coin could be made out. "That quarter is no good," declared the cashier, after a swift, searching glance, passing it back at the same time. The Italian looked insulted and grew excited. "You maka me seeka; can's you see de cheeken?" he demanded, pointing to the outlines of the eagle. Does Family Count? * "I go a great deal on family," remarked the Ward McAllister of the community. "I tell you there's lots in blood! family counts." Ah! does it? Abraham Lincoln's father was so poor that the negroes called him po' white trash, and Abe himself was born in a log hut with cracks in the wall so wide that you could throw a dogjthroughthem, and his mother's name was Nancy Hanks. The father of John Adams ran a corner grocery, John Quincy Adams, however, had "family" back of him, for his father, John, had been President of the United States. James K. Polk grubbed roots out of a new farm in North Carolina until he got too strong to work for his father, then he managed to secure a job in a country store. Andrew Johnson married "family" for his wife knew enough to teach him how t6 read. John Keats was the son of a hostler and was born in a livery stable^ Rare Ben Johnson laid brick while he was learning Latin. Charles J. Bonaparte is a "family" man, but Napoleon Bonaparte once remarked: "I am my own ancestors.". Did you ever happen to hear who was the father of Homer, or of Shakespeare, or of Gladstone, or of Socrates, or of Walt Whitman? The late John Mackay was attending to business at the great Comstock mine one day when a party of tourists approached and asked if he knew a guide who would take them about. Evidently none of them knew him. Mackay offered to escort them and did so, explaining the whole mystery of gold and silver quartz mining. When they emerged the visitors clubbed together and made up a small sum for the guide. Among them was Andrew D. White, recently ambassador to Germany, and at that time president of Cornell University. "Here, my man, take this," he said. "Your explanation of the working of the mine has been singularly clear and informing." "Well, it ought to be," replied the guide, as he slipped the half-dollar in his overalls pocket. "I dug 'em and I own 'em." TO ROAD OVERSEERS. You will warn your road hands at once and put your roads in first-class condition.

Tbe failure of tbe Canton (0.) State bank developed a heroine in the trim little person of Miss Florence Bid-well daughter of City Treasurer Bid-well, cays a apecl&l dispatch from Canton. 0H to tbe Washington Post Miss Bidwell saved tbe dty of Canton $30,000. Tbe State bank was a dty depository and bad $10(1000 on deposit there tbe day it suspended. Tbe bank opened its doors as usual tbe other morning. But they wot open only twenty minutes. This was enough for Miss Bldwell. When she reached the city treasurer's office, where she bad been in charge in the absence of her father, who is ill in a hospital in Cleveland, Assistant City Treasurer Coyle, who was also employed at the bonk, gave her a tip over the telephone on what was going to happen. Miss Bidwell is only eighteen, but she showed quickness of thought and mature judgment enough for a person twice her age. Quickly putting on her hat, she slipped over to the bank and asked Coyle how much cash the city could have. About all the cash In the bank was a bag containing $30,000 In gold. The proper check was made out, Coyle took the gold from the vault and at the girl's request helped her with it back to the city treasurer's office. By the time Coyle reached the bank again it had been decided to suspend, and the doors were closed. GARDEN ON A REAR PORCH. KtnMM Cfty (K?n.) Woman Grow Pratt aad Vegetable* la Barrel*. ''ti/i nmklam rJt Kyvtrr in Sana a mr. ^" w ?* e*~ den on the rear porch of a flat has been solved by Mn. Frank A. Vaughn of Kansas City, Kan. Mrs. Vaughn wanted to plant strawberries and raise some vegetables, but she bad no ! ground for the purpose, says the Kansas City Star. She secured two bar; rda, bored 250 boles In fbem and filled them-with dirt In the holes she plant' ed strawberry vines and other things > nstialiy raised tn a garden. "I know tt is rather a novel way to have a garden," said Mrs. Vaughn recently as she proudly displayed her growing strawberries and vegetables, "but I want to dispel the idea that people who live in a flat can have nothing good to eat except what they buy from the market We have berries and vegetables of our own, and, while they are In no great .abundance, they are berries and vegetables Just the same and so much -better than those we buy. If they would only make the barrels higher we could plant more In each barret" WOMAN *8 WOLF FIGHT. Attacked by Pack of Tklpfy, She iMfkt Am Off ?a Hon* Mrs. Harie Ranches and ber two tittle children were on their way recently from the Locaa ranch to' Btanconia, Tex., when a pack of wolves came op behind the bogs? and began barking, says a dispatch from Befngto, Tex. The wolves attacked the horse and soon had the animal down. Mrs. Ranches used the butt end of the boggy whip to defend herself and the children. The wolves gathered and tried to leap at the throats of the woman and children. There were about thirty wolves In the - pack, and the fight soon became an onequal one. In an boor Mrs. Ranches was In an almost exhausted condition. Just when she was about to give op the struggle a government m&Q carrier came along and fired Into the pack, scaring them away. Proposed ft. Bernard Ttranol. According to the Berne correspondent of the London Standard, the great Slmplan tunnel, although not yet open to traffic, is already spoken of as an old story, while another scheme is b> Ing poshed still farther to shorten the journey between central Europe and the north and west of Italy. The new undertaking constats of a proposed line from Martlgny, In the Rhone valley, under the famous St Bernard pass, direct to Turin, in an almost straight Use. At present the distance from Lausanne to Turin by the Stmplon route is about 225 miles and by the Mont Cenis route a mile or so farther. By the proposed St Bernard tunnel route the distance will be reduced to about 140 miles, a saving of nearly ninety miles, or, In other words, more than a third of the present distance. Tip From a Sermon. On a recent Sunday Dr. Washington Gladden of Columbus, 0., outlined in an evening sermon what he would do with a million dollars if be Jiad it says a Columbus dispatch. , Among other projects, he said he would pat about $300,000 of it in model tenement bouses for the use of working people, to be modern in every way and to be rented at rates that would net not more than 4 per cent on the investment PreskT^pt W. F. Burdell of the State Savings and Trust company announced the other day that be had a wealthy client who waa impressed with the suggestion and authorised the statement that as soon as Dr. Gladden named his trustees be would place the neceesary funds at their disposal.
