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

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. Homer?Don't you think yonr
husband is rather headstrong for an
invalid?
Mrs. Neighbor?Yes, and the doctor is

Mrs. Homer?Indeed! and why, pray?
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.

and put your roads in first-class condition.
Those who have received commutation
road tax money for their roads must
make out an itemized statement, giving
name of hands employed and amount

GIRL'S QUICK WIT
S?w MUa FkwM* Bklwrf] tared
$30,000 to CutoaHi TtaMWf.
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.

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.
