The Carlisle Fitting School base ball
team went over to Elloree last Monday
to play against that town. The game rej
suited in a victory for Elloree, the score
being four to three, which sounds like a
good game.

that there is "something doing" along
progressive lines. The amount of building
going on here now is pretty good for
a town of this size.

meetings they are not treating the lodge i
right in being elected to office. Those 1
who enjoy the honors of the lodge should i
attend the meetings or resign. ]
Attention, Fiddlers.
Mr. Editor?Please allow me space to
suggest to the fiddlers of Bamberg county
that we organize a ''Fiddler's Association,"
aud meet two or three times a year
and have a merry time. They have such
organizations in Georgia, and from newspaper
accounts their meetings are very
pleasant and the fiddlers draw crowds to
hear them play. The North Georgia
fiddlers were booked for the Macon fair
last October aud the Macon paper said
that all sorts of organizations had assembled
at large fairs in the State, but
none of them are of such original type as
the "Fiddlers' Association." Speak out,
fiddlers, and say if you favor organizing.
Yours for a merry time,
0. D. Faust.

ODD WATER WHEELS. "
Some Float on 3treami-Hnge Ones
Make a River Lift Itself.
The people of Syria and Tiflis make
their streams do things that Americans
do not seem to have learned the secret
of persuading the water courses of this
country to perform.
At Tiflis the natives have learned
how to utilize the power of the current
of the river Kur without building
dams. What they have accomplished
possibly might be done by an American
farmer living on the banks of a
rapidly moving stream and desiring a
small rhpan nnwpr. The Caucasians
build floats on the surface of the river.
Into them are set water wheels. The
whole affair is fastened to the bank in
such a way that it will rise and fall
with any change in the level of the,
surface of the river, so that the power
is about constant all the time.
In Hama, the ancient "entering in of
Hamath," the Syrians have accomplished
a feat that makes one think of lifting
oneself over a fence by tugging at
one's bootstraps. They have harnessed
the historic Orontes, or Nahr el Asi, as
the Syrians call it, into the work of
lifting Itself many feet toward the zenith
and trained it thus to water their
fruitful gardens and orchards.
As for size, the water wheels which
do this work are as to other water
wheels what Niagara is to other waterfalls.
As one stands by one of these
great wooden frames revolving upon
its wooden axle and looks up at its
perimeter forty feet above one thinks
it lafge and is astonished when he
turns his gaze up stream to see that
relatively it is not a great wheel, for in
the distance looms up one sixty feet in
height. Even then he is not prepared
for the spectacle of one ninety feet in
diameter grunting around on its cumbrous
axle just outside the town.
Life in Hama for some people Is
like the liking of others for olives, an
acquired taste, because of these very
water wheels. According as one feels
about it, it is a musical city or one |
filled with nerve racking groans. Day
and night without ceasing these massive,
slow revolving structures utter
speech. For those who have acquired a
taste for their companionship the never
ceasing tones are soothing, resembling
the ocean roar or a slow fugue played
on some cyclopean organ. The diapason
tones are deeper and louder than
the deepest organ stop. Now they are
in unison, now repeating the theme,
one after another, now for a brief moment
in a sublime harmony never to
be forgotten, according to one traveler,
then once more together In a tremendous
chorus. The sounds are described
as a slow movement up the scale,
followed with a heavy drop to the keynote
as: Do mi sol, do do do; do sol la,
do do do. This unceasing Sisyphean
music, it is said, has been going on
for a century at least?New York
Tribune.

Estimating a Horse's Height.
The Arabs have two methods of estimating
the height to which a colt will
grow, the first being to stretch a cord
from the nostril over the ear^ and
down along the neck and compare this
measurement with that from the withers
to the feet, and the other method
being to compare the distance between
the knee and the withers with that
from the knee to the coronet In the
first method it is considered that a
colt will grow as much taller as the
first measurement exceeds that of the
second, and in the second method, if
the proportion is as two to one, the
horse will grow no taller.
