Let Monday's sad accident sink deep into the hearts and minds of fathers and mothers, and let them teach its sad moral I to their own boys. The time has come, the walrus said, to speak of many things; Of cabbage heads and candidates, and other foolish things. What with New York, London and Paris merchant princes fighting for his eat of office, will Castro do? It is not only the head that wears a crown that lies uneasy?in South America. Politics, passion, pride and prejudice, and the greatest of these is pride for / your native State; forswear all others and dine to that which is not only right bui I best. # ^ ^ Former Consul Mr. Goodnow, who, it has been discovered, made grave misappropriations while in office, can afford to let the charges go unnoticed, as he is - fixed all to the good now. The pension fraud matter in Colleton county reveals a most deplorable state of affairs. When the criminals were run to cover they offered to pay back the money they had received through their fradulent tactics, and the county board agreed to drop the case. The grand jury has refused to consent to such an arrangement, and it seems probable that the case will he vigorously prosecuted. There ought to be more grand juries like the one iD Colleton. HOW'S* THIS ? Let every one interested talk Bamberg. There are several real handsome residences in course of construction at present, with others being planned; a new bank, making two such institutions here; electric light plaut system of newest type; proposed trolley line to Ehrhardt and surrounding country; new business bouses, and new inhabitants moving here, and the steady demand for houses. How's -all this for signs of prosperity ? We have a chance to grow and increase in every way if we will. Do we will ? || THAT DEPOT MATTER. p| The editor of The Herald is in receipt of a personal letter from Maj. Jno. H. j&fv Earle, a member of the railroad commis8ion, in reference to our editorial last week as to a new freight depot here. ||f' . Maj. Earle says: "I think you have possibly unintentionally done me an injury in your editorial of recent date." He goes on to remind us of his having been in Bamberg on the 4th day of January in regard to this same depot matter, and of having talked with us on the street con||| cerning the depot and also as to a short train from Augusta to Bamberg. He is correct. We saw him here and discussed these matters with him,{and yet we canIll not see where this does any good. It is now April 1st, and yet three months ago x the commission had this matter in hand, and nothing has been done up to this writing. Maj. Earle also says that he has seen Superintendent Heether personally several times since his visit here concerning this depot, and he can assure us that "the commission has'the matter up and are pushing it." Well, if they don't push it a little faster we'll all be old aDd gray - * ?ATTT rl nrvAf neaaea oeiore we gci. tuc It is not our desire to pose as a fault finder and critic of the railroad commission, for we know the body is often unjustly criticised, but we must say that, to take the statement of one of the board, it shows a most dilatory state of affairs. The%depot was burned on the night of October 13th, and his report on the situation here was filed January 4th, 1906. The superintendent of the railroad was written to on January oth, and yet three months later no depot is in sight. That's postponing'em some. Maj. Earle also states: "When you realize that we hare possibly one hun dred complaints uouueruiug uc^uu w?Ci the State, you will understand why we cannot have them all built at once." We must confess that we cannot understand that statement, nor can we understand also why it should take six months to get ready to build a new depot. . A great deal has been said in times past as to the uselessness of the railroad commission. Bamberg's citizens are now prepared to give ample testimony along this line, for, mind you, the commission has had this matter of a new freight depot at Bamberg up siuce January, three mouths ago, ('and are pushing it," and yet nothing has been done at this end of the line towards the building. Are the railroad commissioners descendants of the tortoise, or is it Superintendent Heether, or both or all of them? We publish Commissioner Earle's letter in another column, in order to do him justice, and we will say to the commission if they will give us the new depot oiraTT tco'l] ohnt Alir TTlftnt.h 1 '6"* ? TILLMAN'*OLD BOLE. The senior Senator's manifesto failed to manifest anything great, new or significant. There is nothing great in it for it lacks anything helpful or beneficial to his State or people; there is nothing new <for it shows Tillman in a characteristic attitude; and it is significant only that it signifies that the passion of the people will be appealed to rather than calm opinion and reason; the prejudice rather than the pride will be fanned, and the attempt to arrange and array friend against friend, brother against brother is being and will be made by the Senator who knows no higher law than that of the political dabbler who assassinates con science to appease appeuie. Will our people consent? We hope, we believe, we feel sure they will not. From Commissioner Earle. Columbia, S. C., March 29th, 1906. Mr. A. W. Knight, Bamberg, S. C. Dear Mr. Knight:? I think you have possibly unintentionally done me an injury in your editorial of recent date as to the freight depot at Bamberg. On January 4th, 1906,1 met you on the street in Bamberg and talked with you concerning the depot and also concerning a short train to Augusta. If any one should take the trouble they could easily find my report on both matters on file in the office of the R. R. Commission (No. 99, date 1-4-06). On this report Superintendent Heether was immediately written (1 5-06) and acknowledged receipt of our communication on 1-8-06 explaining why the short train could not be extended etc. I have seen Superintendent Heether personally several times since concerning this depot, and I can assure yon that tins Commission has the matter up and are pushing it. When you realize that we have possibly one hundred complaints concerning depots over the State, you will understand why we cannot have them all built at once. I have inspected the situation at Bamberg, understand it thoroughly, and I think our Board understands conditions there as well as I do. Mr. Caughman has also visited Bamberg concerning this depot. Col. Wharton has not done so as he was called to another place. Yours very truly, jno. h. eable, Commissioner. Railroad Commission Replies. The last mail before we went to press brought us the following letter from the Railroad Commission. Read Commissioner Earle's letter and compare it with this one. No comment is necessary: Columbia, S. C., March 30th, 1900. Mr. A. W. Knight, Bamberg, S. C. Dear Sir: Referring to your editorial of the 29th of March addressed to the Railroad Commission of South Carolina, under a marked cover: This matter has never been taken up officially with the Board. Commissioner Earle brought the matter to the attention of the Board, and they immediately communicated with Superintendent Heether, asking him when said depot would be vphiiilt. Onr Commissioner Cauchman made a personal inspection of the situaation at Bamberg* At that time he found that there was a disagreement between the Superintendent and the citizens as to the location of this depot. They (the Commission) were afterwards unofficially informed that this disagree ment had been settled, and that the depot would be rebuilt. We desire to state emphatically, that the Commission have not neglected their interests in the Bamberg situation, and our correspondence is a witness to that effect. We have had so many persistent petitions for depots that require our personal investigation, so much of our time has been taken up with the freight congestion in many parts of the State, that for the time, we may have lost sight of Bamberg; still we had no official communication from your citizens. We will now see after the wants of your citizens and have attention given the same. In justice to the Board, we think you should give this communication the same prominence given your editorial. By order of the Board. J. H. Wharton, Chairman. governor Goebel's Assassin. rr_ i ?:i o T ?
