Dajo and Kischeniff are not far enough
apart in moral history to require separate
h:~': thoughts.

Let those who intend running for
Auditor remember that checking dispense
sary request blanks is part of that official's
doty.
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

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

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.

To a Smart Property Owner.
Painting is practical work. Skill wins.
It's the same with paint making. You
know 4 gallons L. & M. mixed with 3
gallons linseed oil makes enough paint
for a moderate sized house?the best
paint money can buy?because the L. &
M. zinc hardens the L. & M. white lead
and makes the L. & M. paint wear like
iron.
Buy L. & M. and don't pay $1.50 a gallon
for linseed oil, as you do in ready-foruse
paint, but buy oil fresh from the barrel
at 60 cents, and mix with the L. & M
Actual cost L. & M. about $1.20 per
gallon.
