|L. ?
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,

Take Rocky Mountain Tea at night.

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

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.

Bucklen's Arnica Salve a scientific wonder.

extensive arguments on the postofflce appropriation
bill that will be before the
house the early part of next week.
Both Messrs. Johnson and Finley believe
that some much needed reform* are
necessary in the postal branch of the
government service, and they have been
for sometime preparing to make themselves

For a long time stories have been current
that the franking privilege enjoyed ' '
by members of congress and others hat .
been badly abused, and that in some in- * '&
stances furniture, cooking stoves and 3
