The shade trees on the streets are mostly elms, and they are growing beautifully and add very much & i. to the looks of the town. jsT.'J The county convention, railroad meet* ing, and address of E. D. Smith will take place in the court house next Monday. D Let a large crowd be present, especially for the railroad meeting.

From present indications there will be a number of congressional candidates in the field for the secondtdistrict this year. We hear of several men in the various . counties of the district who would like to represent the district in congress, pr It is probable that CoL W. G. Smith will be a candidate for the legislature from Orangeburg county. A card signed . ' "Citizens" has appeared in all the Orange, \ ; burg papers calling on him to make the race. Col. Smith would make a good one. An assortment of clocks at $1.00 to ;fr $8.00, at Dickinson's jewelry store.

There were a number of changes in railroad schedules last Sunday, and a new train was put on between Blackville and | v Xingville. This train runs daily, leaving Blackville 7:30 a. m., arriving Branch??>' ville 8:30, and Kingville 10:55. The rooming train from Charleston arrives iere ten minutes earlier. |i Mr. Chas. McGeiver brought to our -office a few days ago two eggs, laid by the -same hen, but entirely different in size. . One is very large and the other is very : small. One would appear to De ine egg of a turkey or some large bird, while the other is smajl enough to have been laid fcy a pigeon. Both eggs are perfectly formed. NOTICE?Laundry bills must be paid weekly as I have to remit every Monday. Persons having work done must pay the collector every week when he calls. F. W. FREE. A lot of material for the city's electric light plant is on the ground, and the wiring of residences has begun. The poles are being delivered, and the work of constructing the lines will begin soon. A lot of the wire, crossarms, etc., has been received. In the sales room of the company are being displayed a lot of nice fixtures. Call and see them and get prices on having your house wired. The directors of Bamberg Banking Company have employed Messrs. Edwards & Walter, architects of Columbia, to prepare plans and specifications for the new bank building to be erected on Main street. Mr. Edwards was here this week getting data preparatory to drawing the plans. It has not been definitely decided yet whether a two-story or threestory building will be erected, as this will depend on the estimates of cost given by the architects. But the building will be a handsome and modern bank structure. Our people should have their residences wired for electric lights as sooa as possible, so that when the plant is completed it can start running with a large number of customers. The plant belongs to the taxpayers of Bamberg, and will be run in their interest. It is the policy of the board of public works to run the plant as belonging to the people and in such a manner as to merit their approbation. The board works without salary, and it is to be hoped the citizens of the town will give their co-operation toward making tEe plant a success. Remember, the more lights taken in stores, residences, etc., the cheaper rate the plant will be able to make for lighting. ;-r .' > - * - V O. A . . V .. -v ' $$$ Club Meeting.

Fowleb. f c Old Land Grant. ^ Mr. Geo. A. Jennings showed us an in- 1 teresting document a few days ago. It j was a land grant over one hundred years old, being dated February 2nd, 1789, and ^ in the thirteenth year of the independ- a ence of the United States. The grant is a made to Gideon Jennings in consideration of fourteen pounds, and is for six hundred acres of land in the district of d Orangeburg, in the fork of Edisto River. " The grant is signed by Governor Charles ^ Pinckney. The surveyor who surveyed the tract and drew the plat was Daniel j Squier. The plat accompanies the grant t and is attached thereto. The ink with 1 which the writing was done must have I been good, for it is bright even now and does not appear to have faded much if any. The Gideon Jennings to whom this grant was made was an ancestor of Messrs. Geo. A. and J. M. Jennings, and the land is situated only a few miles from ^ Bamberg. a \ Serious Error. c Hon. G. L. Toole is to-day attending c the annual picnic at Rivers' Bridge, Bam- a berg county. This picnic is given there i every year, as sort of memorial of the e affair that took place there in February, 1865, between some Confederate troops j and a portion of Sherman's army.?Aiken gl Recorder. Our contemporary should get things ? straight. A gross injustice is done the memorial association by the publication of the above item. There is no picnic given, but the day is fittingly celebrated ^ as memorial day. This is one of the few J memorial associations in the State which is located outside of the towns and cities, and it was one of the first associations in South Carolina to erect a monument to a the dead. The graves of these soldiers is ? decorated each year and addresses suit- f able to the occasion are delivered. The J gathering is not known as a picnic by 2 any manner of means, but is rightly x called memorial day. The association ? was drganized in 1872 and in 1874 the J monument was erected. f No Depot in Sight Tet. J Mr. A. W. Knight, Bamberg, S. C. < Dear Sir<!

Paul, the eccentric czar of Russia assassinated in 1801, was very particular as to his dress aud considered trl fling matters as of supreme importance. This peculiarity was once taken advantage of by an officer of the guards, Major Vaksel, to win a bet The major, the wildest joker in the army, wagered several hundred rubles that he would tweak the tail of the emperor's wig on parade. The very next day the emperor happened to be present at an early parade and, as destiny ruled it, took a position for a moment immediately in front of the darinz major. Breathless with excitement and terror, Vaksel's companions beheld that rash officer's right hand steal slowly from his side, rise to the level of the czar's neck and give the wig's hanging tail a most decided tweak. In an instant the emperor's face, pale with fury, was turned upon Vaksel's countenance, which, however, only reflected an expression of childlike innocence, mingled with the most deferential astonishment. "Who dared to do that?'* asked the enraged czar, his eyes giving flashing evidence that his most dangerous mood was upon him. "I did, your majesty," said Vaksel, who, however his heart may have fluttered, managed to preserve outwardly an unruffled calm, together with an expression of innocent surprise. "It was crooked, your majesty," he added, in a confidential undertone. "I straightened it for fear the younger officers should see." Paul's cmmtenance cleared at once. He stared fixedly, however, at Vakoal'o (nn/uiant lnnl-lnv fnr nnmp oci O IJUUWVMfc IWiMMg ?.w?vv <bv> seconds. Vaksel admitted afterward that this was the trying moment, and he had said to himself, "If I waver I'm lost!" Then the czar spoke, and spoke so that all might hear. "I thank you, colonel," he said. If ever a step in rank was gained by the purest effrontery it was so acquired on thi^ occasion, and Vaksel left the field, not only promoted to a coveted position in the guards, but richer by many hundred rubles as the result of his wager. THE SACRED LOTUS. There Are Pretty Legend* of Soag and Story About Its Fruit. Concerning the rich fruit of the lotus, which grew luxuriantly in the Nile, many charming legends have been told. It was believed that it was so delightful that those who ate of it would never leave the spot where it grew, butf for it would abandon home and friends to spend their lives in a dream of serene delight Homer, In the "Odyssey," mentions the lotus eaters who lived on the northern coast of Africa and records their attempts to detain the followers of Ulysses by giving them the fruits of the lotus to eat so that they should never wish to leave the spot where it grew. The same poetical idea is known to the Arabs, who call it the "fruit of destiny," which Is to be eaten in paradise, and it is on this foundation that Tennyson built his charming poem of the "Lotus Eaters." This mythical lotus has been identified by several botanists with that indigenous to Tunis, which is a thorny shrub, with berries of the size of an olive. Mungo Park found a species of lotus in Central America bearing berries of I a delicious taste, which, on being dried I and pounded, made very wholesome and pleasant bread. The lotus fruit found in Tunis has a stimulating, almost intoxicating effect, and It is therefore probable that this plant furnished the foundation of the ancient legends. The sacred lotus of the Egyptians was a fine aquatic plant, dedicated to Osiris and Isis and regarded In Egyptian delineations as signifying the creation of the world. Distinct from this lotus was that known as the blue lotus of the Nile, also a sacred plant Both l?fn? nn/irtr fnonllOTltlv UCSC sptruico ui iviuo W1.U1. , as religious symbols and decorations in the temples. Tha If am* of the Vatican. The Mons Vatican us is sometimes said to have received its name from vaticinlum, an oracle or prophecy, for tradition says that Numa chose the Vatican hill as a sacred place from which to declare to the people the messages he received from the gods. It is not, however, one of the seven hills on which ancient Rome was built, but forms a part of the ridge beginning with the Janiculus and ending with Monte Mario, all of which was outside the ancient limits of the city. In our day the name is applied only to the Immense pontifical palace adjacent to and connected with the basilica of St Peter's. Constantinople. Constantinople, called by the Turks Stamboul or Istamboul, was originally the ancient city of Byzantium. In 330 B. C. the Emperor Constantine made it the capital of the Roman empire and called it after his own name. The city lies on an arm of the sea called the Golden Horn and is protected by a great wall built by the Byzantine emperors. CrueL Miss Passay?So she's twenty-five today.
