Remember
that three members of a
board of public works are to be voted for
in the election nest Tuesday. This is
important, and three good men should be
selected.

S& * I
There seems to be no question but that
the election next Tuesday on the question
?* * 1?I
?I ISSUlDg oonus iur au cicuuii^ ugu? paut
will result in favor of the bonds. But
we ought to be doing something towards
the waterworks problem as well.
*
* *
Just think of the property destroyed by
fire in Bamberg during the last few years,
most of which would have been saved if
the town had waterworks. How much
longer will our people pursue such a
"penny wise and pound foolish" policy?
i#
* ?
Comptroller General A. W. Jones has
* issued a statement in reply to the criticisms
made of his action in the case of
Treasurer Whetsell, of Dorchester. That
any one should have criticised the comptroller
for his action is very strange. Fact
is, we need more men like Jones in public
office, for he seems to be a man who
does his duty without fear or favor.
It is to be regretted of course that a
few persons in Columbia should have
made a spectacle of themselves in Columbia
last week at the presentation of
3 Thomas Dixon's play, "The Clansman."
The incident will serve as a big advertisement
for the play, however, and we have
no idea that Mr. Dixon will bear any
malice against Columbia on account of the
/ action of a very small part of its population.

Triplets in Marlboro.
Besnettsville, October 14.?A negro
woman gave birth to triplets in the upper
part of this county on October 5. One of
them is a boy and weighs six pounds.
The two girls weigh eight and ten. They
are all healthy and doing well.
The father is S. S. Britt. He and his
wife are the parents of seventeen children,
and twice have had twins born to
SjW> . a. i. . . !
Iiueui.
The attending physician, Dr. J. S. Hair,
and Britt came to Bennettsville yesterday
and made an affidavit as to the facts before
Magistrate C. D. Easterling. They
said they intended to send this affidavit
to President Roosevelt, and felt sure that
he would be rejoiced to learn that there
is no race suicide in this branch of the
African race.Dr.
Hair is an Indian half breed and
has been practicing with "roots and
| . herbs" in the sand hill region, near the
State line, for about a half-century. He
says that never before, in his long experience,
has he seen "such a pile'of babies."
He does not come to Bennettsvill more
than once in five years but he made the
. > trip yesterday for the express purpose of
securing the affidavit to send to the President.
Pointed Paragraphs.
Beware of the willing worker; he may
try to work you.
You may lead a fool to talk, but you
cannot make him think.
It is impossible to convince a spinster
that marriage is a failure.
If a man owes anything to himself he is
apt to settle promptly.
? - " :-i - -i.? ? .?
Wive a prewy jjui a vuauw iu buuw uu
and she'll not get lonesome.
If some men were to put their consciences
on ice they would spoil the ice.
It isn't right to judge a man by the
company his wife's folks inflict upon him.
Now is th,e season fast approaching
when the can-opener will be mightier than
the sword:
Any young man who deliberately jilts
an innocent girl deserves to be henpecked
by her successor.
No, Alphonso, we have no data at hand
relative to any ice-dealer having been
driven to suicide by remorse.
After reaching a certain age a man
begins to make up his mind?and a woman
begins to make up her face.
Nothing makes a woman so angry as to
prepare for company that fails to come?
unless it is to have company come when
she isn't prepared.
Secretary Shaw says the country is in
need of a more elastic currency. He is
right. One that will stretch over the rent
and grocery bills and leave a little margin
for the savings bank, is the kind of
currency the country wants.
There is a minister who appreciates the
editor. At a recent editorial convention
he offered the following toast: "To save
an editor from starvation, take his paper
and pay for it promptly. To save him
from bankruptcy, advertise in his paper
liberally. To save him from despair, send
every item of news of which you can get
hold. To save him from profanity, write
your correspondence plainly on one side
of the sheet and send it in as early as
possible. To save him from mistakes,
bury him. Dead people are the only ones
who never make mistakes."

Every Year.
The girls are growing taller
Every year, ,
Ana ine men are growing smauc*
Every year;
They drop their long eyelashes
And wear the sweetest sashes,
And grow scantier mustaches
Every year.
We all are growing older
Every year,
The faintest hearts grow bolder
Every year;
Foot balls fiends grow frantic,
The learned more pedantic,
Girls are less and less romatic
Every year.
The women now are working
Every year,
At the duties men are shirking
Every year;
The changes we are noting
Are no superficial coating,
For the girls will soon be voting
Every year.
The scenes of life are shifting
Every year;
And we are man-ward drifting
Every year;
But though bicycles upset us,
And bloomer costumes fret us,
There are fewer men beset us
Every year.
Tes! the men are growing shyer
Every year.
But the girls are climbing higher
Every year;
As our hold on man grows slighter
Our burdens ail seem lighter,
And the distant future brighter
Every year.
Professor Smythe's Peculiar Hens.

of which he takes great care. Every fal
the boys, whenever they get a chance
steal a few hunches of cranes. One morn
I o tr ~

j vines almost bare. Calling his wife hi
said: "Mary, what has become of thi
grapes?"
"I suppose the hens picked them off,'
was the reply.
"Hens! Hens! Some two-legged hens,'
said her husband, angrily, to which shi
calmly replied:
"Phil, dear, did you ever see any othe:
kind?"?Boston Herald.

Judge Speer Reversed.
Washington, Oct. 16.?'The Georgia
"chain gang" case was decided in favor
of Georgia in the supreme court this
p morning. Henry Jamison, a negro
had been sent to the "chain gang" by the
e recorder's court of Macon. He was re^
leased by Judge Speer on the ground that
'' the penalty was too severe for the offence.
The supreme court, by remanding the

P XldU tiittb 111C \J Ull^u utav^o wutv
* had no right to interfere with the State
a court. Speer's decision, if sustained,
y would have practically destroyed the
municipal courts of the South which
'' principally deal with petty white and
* colored offenders without the expensive
0 machinery of jury trial. Speer held noa
body could be put in stripes or made to
work on a chain gang without conviction
" by a jury.
