The candidates are beginning to come 1 oat of the grass; the woods are full so 1 ilet 'em come. Between cheap liquor and patent medi- 1 cine it seems that we will be damned if ' we drink or damned if we don't. Did mob rule ever mean or signify civil i rale? Even when the mobVaim is civil, i i:s ends are usually, not usually but i always, uncivilized. i It is our hope Jhat the Charleston or 1 . - Columbia S. A. L. baseball club will do ' penance for the years gone by to the ex- i tent of securing the 1906 pennant. t After being relieved of nearly half a i million dollars, doubless that bank at 1 Mos-cow felt akin to the ordinary milch- i cow after the second milking?somewhat > lack. We reckon that even the greatest croaker in Bamberg can now see that the old town is getting a move on itself, so get into the crowd who talk progress and prosperity. The time for looking gloomy . and sour is past. There is plenty of 4 good to say about the town now, so help * the good work along by your efforts and J conversation. 1 -? *-? i I 8ome people in the up-couniry nave the impression that Railroad Commis- ' aioner Wharton is electioneering already, i as his term of office expires this year. As 1 be is chairman of the board of railroad J commissioners, maybe he is too busy 1 electioneering is the reason the railroad ( commission seems to be paying so little 1 Attention to the rebuilding of a new < freight depot by the Southern Railway 1 at Bamberg. ^ 1 Smollett has said: "The mob is a mon- i f . ster I never could abide, either its head, < tail, midriff or members?I detest the < whole of it as a mass of ignorance, pre- 1 sumption, malice and brutality, and in i this term of reprobation I include, with- i out respect of rank, station or quality, all 4 those who affect its manners and court < * its society." This was written about one i ' hundred and thirty five years ago, but its < application is none amiss at this day and ] time, even last week in Tennessee. i THE GRAIN IS THE THING. i Grain is a most significant item in the 1 farmer's list of necessities. Cotton may < be and is generally regarded as the great crop. Corn is the great auxiliary, the . first lieutenant as it were, of the fleecy < staple. The corn planting time is on us in full sway at present, and the care and ' consideration given to this necessary part of the farm will tell for good or for bad ^ when the harvest season is over and the Bp/ - year's work is again begun. Let these ^ ? two facts be considered: Cotton is slump- ' ing; many are now buying corn to feed 1 their stock upon. It is true cotton brought a "delightful" price last season, but 1 where is any guarantee that next season's 1 will be so ? A small per cent, of corn 1 means a small supply. Cut your cotton 1 acreage down, and a good price for cotton will be the result. Increase corn 1 acreage. Cotton may be king, but your 1 ? grain is the thing?it is the thixg. information wanted. To the Railroad Commission of South I Carolina: On the night of the 24th of i October, 1905, the freight warehouse of i !& the Southern Railway at Bamberg was 1 burned. At the date of this writing, March 24th, five months later, the re- ; building of this structure- has not been 1 commenced, there is no material on the t ground, and, so far as the writer knows, < ' nothing has been done by the railroad, t We have heard that plans for the building have been prepared, but if the contract gp.fr: . has been let we do not know it. In the meantime the people of this town and ! community are being greatly inconveni- 1 enced. Freight for this point is stored ( in freight cars, which are liable to be ' scattered around on any of the side ! tracks, and we have had to put up with this state of affairs during the busiest season of the year. Is it right ? Is it ' just that a town doing the large amount ! of freight business that Bamberg does, ' should have so little consideration at the hands of the railroad and the commission? Do yon believe that had there been two lines of railroad at this point that matters would have been left as they are for so long? Has the commission any power under the law to force a railroad to give proper freight accommodations ? If so, you should exercise it in this case. ' If you have not the power to f/wp th#? railroad, don't you know that your urgent requests would have great weight? Then why have you not insist- i ed and kept on insisting that the railroad V r jive us a new warehouse and relieve the lituation ? Candidly, we are afraid you lave neglected your duty to the people, ind while we regret to have to call your Mention to this Jmatter. we sincerely ;rust that you will now take it up in jarnest and see that the building is ;rected and that right soon. We regret :o trouble you, as we realize that your chairman is busily engaged in electioniering for his present job, but we have endured long in silence,' and we must now beg that you give us a little of your time and attention. Good-bye Fruit. Our venerable friend, Col. James T. Bacon, of the Edgefield Chronicle, is in deep trouble. Listen how he poured forth the musings of his troubled soul last week: "Good-bye,the juicy plum and the toothsome peach ! . Good-bye for many a long day! And as we pen the words, our tears roll down in torrents, Niagara is but a rill compared to them! And, oh God,!spare us now the seedy and ungenteel blackberry and the desultory and delusive apple. And we would be immeasurably thankful for even the haw and the may-pop. Remember, oh Lord, that we are going to have a hot and burning summer?that Ben Tillman is going to consume our inmost vitals with dispensary fire?that we shall have no X, XX, XXX? to moisten our parched tongues. Woe is upon us! This morning, March 21st, the ice is a furlong thick in Edgefield, and the earth is spewed up a yard high. Lord ' ?- -t nave mercy upuu u?, auu vuuuuaaic uuiu as the blackberry and the may-pop?and the stringy collard and the watery squash." Three little rules we all should keep, To make life happy and bright, 3mile in the morning, smile at noon, Take Rocky Mountain Tea at night. H. F. Hoover. Convicts Escape. Barnwell, March 23?Early last Monday morning two negro convicts escaped from the county chain gang. The gang is at work near Cave's church, a distance of five or six miles from Barnwell. When the guard got up to fix breakfast for the men he missed the two negroes ind notified the others. A search was instituted at once and notice was sent to 3heriff Creech. As soon as the sheriff beard of it he sent two of his deputies to issist in the search. One of the negroes, [)rton Smith, was found at his house, several miles from the place of his escape by the "two deputies of the sheriff Monday night. As soon as they found ;hat their man was in the house they de cided to sit up until morning and then nake the arrest. When daylight came Dne of the deputies was left on guard at >ne door while the other went to look for the fugitive. He searched two rooms ind as he started in a third room a negro fvoman in the house notified him that he 'could not go' in that room," and proceeded to try to prove it by barricading it. The constable finally got the door Dpen and as he got his head in the door be saw his man looking out from behind the head of a high bedstead. He went in and drew his gun, ordering the man to throw up his hands. Instead the negro rushed for him. The constable fired, but at the same time the negro woman struck his gun, causing the load to miss its mark, [n the excitement the negro made his escape and has not been heard from since. A. reward has been offered for the captune of either or both the negroes. The Boy Fooled Them. There is a good story told of a man who has become a most successful merchant. A few years ago he was employed as an office boy and messenger for a large firm. He was sent to collect an account from a firm which was considera/1 worn OoViabir " onfl was t.fklH t.n CTPfc t.VlP WU IViJ OUWttJ) MUVt IIMW WW J)V. .? w | money at all hazards. The debtors gave the lad a check for $250. IJe went to the bank at once to cash it, and was told by the cashier that there were not enough funds in to meet it. "How much short?" asked the lad. "Seven dollars," was the answer. It lacked but a minute or two of the time for the bank to close. The boy felt in his pockets, took out $7, and, pushing it through the window, said, "Put that to the credit of Blank & Co." The cashier did so, whereupon the boy presented the check and got the money. Blank & Co. failed the next day, and their chagrin can be better imagined than lescribed when they found out the trick ,hat had been played upon them. Talebearers. It is told of Hannah More that she had i good way of managing talebearers. It s said that whenever she heard anything ierogatory to another, her invariable reply was, "Come, we will go and ask if ~ mUTTTftO f A*V? ftf {m ftP tills UC tiUC* 1 lie Clit'V/b TTOO aill'"^HIH^P I ludicrously painful. The talebearer was taken aback, stammered out a qualification, or begged that no notice might be taken of the statement. But the good lady was inexorable; off she took the scandal-monger to the scandalized to make inquiry and compare accounts. It is not likely that anybody ever a second time ventured to repeat a gossipy story to Hannah More. One would think her method of treatment would be a sure cure for scandal. d.
