Hub Evans could no doubt get a certificate of character from his Newberry friends. * * * Cole Blease shows a disposition to trample on the carcas of his late friend, "Hub" Evans, now that Evans is down and out and Cole wants to be governor. Blease reflected on Evans by inference in his speech here, and yet when "Hub" ran for re-election as chairman of the dispensary board, Blease voted for him. Oh, Coley, "shame on you!" fc * We have not yet heard of the resignation of Cole L. Blease as Senator from Newberry county, yet he is running for governor. Should he receive the nomination the voters of his county would be nut to the trouble and expense of a spec * ial primary to select his successor. We / have no patience with a man who holds on to one office with one hand and reach* ?8 out for another. Blease should resign as Senator. *2 * f* # * w * Never have we seen as much unrest among our people generally in regard to legislative candidates. Numbers of our best citizens have spoken to us in regard to the matter of sending men to the legislature who will represent us?men who are representative citizens of the town, community and county. Numerous suggestions have been made as to candidates, but the best plan we can see is to hold a mass meeting, as they did in Laurens county, and bring into the race men we want. ** * We want candidates for the legislatr-e fiom this county to answer yes or no to whether they are for or against the dispensary, whether they favor compulsory education, and where they stand on immigration. Now when those who are so anxious to serve the dear people see fit to express themselves on these questions in a plain and unequivocal manner, the columns of The Herald are cpen to them.

Seibeis, president of the Carolina Giass Company was cross examined by Mr. Lyon, of the dispensary investigating committee, at a hearing last Monday, and if the circumstantial evidence adduced don't throw a mighty strong suspicion on the glass company, then we don't know what to say. A seeming effort to shield this company has been made by some people, but the dealy 9 ings of the dispensary with no concern have been more suspicious than with this same glass company, owned, controlled and managed by some of the "Bong Swongs" of Columbia, * * Sometimes we are inclined to think the people of Bamberg do not realize what a good town we have. No town in the State of its size is growing and improving faster than Bamberg, and the best c . part of it is that the growth is solidthere is nothing of the mushroom about it. Look around you and see what is go ing on and tnen ten people irom aoroau about it. We have hid our light under a bushel as it were too long. We are coming to the front rapidly, and every man in Bamberg ought to tell the good news to all with whom he comes in contact. To be entirely frank and candid, we know of no town which is on a more solid financial basis than Bamberg. We have no failures here, and most of us are getting along well and making money. * * * Often small potatoes roll in whele * statesmen dread to tread. Is it not to the interest of South Carolina that her better Citizens secure real representation in the legislature? Then, to that end, should not her better citizens draw into the primaries men to represent them??Columbia State. The above applies to many counties in the State, and this year would be a good time to break away from the habit of voting for men for the legislature who are not really and truly representative citizens. What we need is business men?men of affairs, who have interests at stake. The legislature of South Carolina is largely made up of young lawyers who have had 1111X6 expei iciiuc iu ia>v ux uusmisf. question naturally arises, why do they run? Is it from a sincere desire to serve the people or does it come from an overweening egotism and a desire to' advertise themselves and to help them to build up a practice? The debt of the State is increasing every year. Is it not high time that our better citizens should take an interest in this matter and draw into the race for the legislature sound, sane, ' competent business men? I Cesttng I I prudence 1 |: By M.

To recapitulate," he began, directing his remarks to the calendar which hung on the wall and from which stared back at him the face of a supposedly beautiful young woman with a fixed and sugary smile, ''your left ear is confoundedly out of drawing. I beg your pardon, I'm not an artist I'm a civil engineer?or will be next June. And that isn't what I started out to remark. To recapitulate, I have peddled maps over three states, and the net profits of these adventures are $531.62. I have a steady job during the college year waiting on table at three per. and found. Furthermore, I have a <Jress suit and clothes and ties and things. Further yet, I have an invitation from my cbosln, Torrence Marshall, to spend a week with him at Sylvan Cove, the swellest resort on this little old ocean. It Is now Saturday night, Sept 15, and college opens up the 25th. The question seems to be shall I go on peddling maps and accumulating more filthy lucre, which I may possibly need; shall I go home, which is 300 miles away; to college, which is 450, or to Sylvan Cove, which is under a hundred and where pretty young women, -* - ? * M ?M it If presumed, aoounu r In due parliamentary form the Sylvan Cove question was put and carried unanimously, whereupon the boy?he was little more bowed gravely to the calendar lady and thanked her for her kindness In voting with him, Then he ran down the stairs of the country hotel to consult the time table, for he was in a harry to be off. Marshall found Sylvan Cove In the elaborate simplicity stage of summer resort development Everything was costly, but very plain, for the Cove was inhabited each season mainly by wealthy people who had become accustomed to their money. On the first day of his stay Marshall naively confided to.his cousin that he believed Prudence Falrchild to be the prettiest girl at the Cove, whereupon Torrmce grinned and replied, "Stung, are you^*' On the second day he learned that she could swtm like a seal and gsii like a.Scot That evening, by virtue of four dances which she generously gave him at the pavilion party, his stock of knowledge was augmented by the fact that Miss Prudence danced like a fairy. His approval of the tanned, red lipped and wholesome young woman deepened during a long sail the next morning, ^hen be discovered that her taste in books and tennis rackets was identical with his own. When Torrence informed him later, however, that her father, Rufus Falrchild, was credited with more millions than there were , letters to his name the young man experienced a novel and entirely unpleasant sinking of the heart His own financial situation did not ; trouble Marshall?in fact he found hn mor In his poverty. Marshall's raioer bad been rich until an Industrial flurry bad left him broken and penniless. Berkeley himself, a natural engineer and in love with the profession be had chosen, felt the prescient stir of genius within him, vague but real His teachers predicted great things of him, and with the knowledge of his own powers and his burning desire to achieve, fame and wealth were merely around the next corner. Yet the fact of Miss Palrchild's wealth depressed him. *Tve almost monopolized her since I've been here," he told himself, "and shell think ifs the blooming money. I suppose half this buhch thaf s hanging around her would marry a Digger Indian for the old man's pile. I wish she were poor!" The latter aggrieved and sincere remark revealed to Marshall that he was dangerously near being In love. A certain sensitive pride, for he had a morbid fear that his attitude might be misconstrued, kept Marshall out of the girl's presence most of the time thereafter. Maybe she understood, for the possession of much money often brines a woman bitter wisdom; maybe it was a feminine desire to repay him for his aloofness; at any rate, Miss Fairchild contrived to give Marshall a glance at parting, as he held her cool little hand, that thrilled his every pulse. It was like the song of a nightingale or the scent of June roses. And the memory moved him again and again that winter as he built theoretical bridges ln*he class room or delivered vegetable soup in the hotel dining room. Now, a look such as that from a girl who is not a flirt dwells in her memory too. Miss Fairchild's cheeks were hot sometimes when she thought of it and of the answering glance of bewildered joy that flashed from Marshall's blue eyes. "He might take advantage or it," she said to herself In brief, delicious panic when the Invitation of a chum, Nell Burrows, to come for the January hop of tfce seniors at Marshall's college reached her. But she went nevertheless. The assurance with which he confiscated five of the dances on her card at the ball showed that Marshall remembered. They sat out two, which was delightful, but dangerous. There was little said, and the silence between them was intimate and significant Removed from the glamour of the lights and the music, from the hall shielded promise of her eyes and the Intoxication of her beauty, Marshall \ \ . - ' \ was not satisfied. "If ebe were only | poorr he repeated to himself. "How can she know that It's she I want and ^ not the money? Suppose that she thinks I'm a fortune hunter? And if the money makes any difference with her, then she doesn't care for me. I wish I knew. If you only could give me a sign, sweetheart, that you had , faith in my love"? J It was lunch time, and Marshall was at his accustomed table In the hotel. His musings were broken by the opening of the door. Miss Fairchild and Miss Burrows came in. They were accompanied by Broason and Carrick. wealthy frat men of his own class. / Out of the corner of his eye Marshal) ' saw Miss Fairchlld start a trine wnen sbe recognised bim. When the party bad been seated two tables away by 1 young Condon, another student waiter, the girl's back was toward bim. He bad given her no opportunity for a greeting. For it bad flashed over the young man that the sign, either of favor or of contempt for bis poverty and bis ' menial occupation, must be given. The girl would show whether her nature were gold or dross.

He saw 1 the amused lift of Branson's eyebrows, \ the scowl on Carrick*s forehead and Miss Barrows' undisguised interest as j Prudence Fairchlld, eyes softly shining, * came back to where be stood. j If the mountain will not go to Mo- 4 bammed,M sbe said smilingly, "then of course Mohammed must come to the mountain.

In 1876 Mr. Disraeli was raised by the queen to the peerage under the title of Lord Beaconsfield, and he left the'house of commons before the news of his elevation to the boase of lords had been made public. His withdrawal from the stage where he had played so long the leading part In a manner obviously devised to avoid any sort of ovation was in accordance with the dignity which characterised the remaining yeara of his life after the defeat of the Conservatives, when the i general election of 1880, in consequence of the Midlothian campaign, had ter- * ruinated his public career. No appll- i cant for his opinions on any subject i ever received a postal card from Lord i BeaconsfiekL No speech was ever made by him at railway stations. He * died in 1881 as he had lived-^-alone, a 1 stranger amid a strange people.

The Globe Trotter of Nal- i robi, British East Africa, tells it: "According to natives on the shore and e islands of Lake Victoria the* real simon c pure water python is a reality. Officers 6 on board the Sibyl and the Winifred have time and again been unable to account for the unrest shown at times in the most tranquil waters. Sir Cle- j merit Hill in crossing the lake some ? **- %^ t years ago in a launcn wiin one aiacgregor, the engineer, saw this monster _ and described it as having a head re- t sembllng the hippopotamus, only three c times broader, but much more flat and wedge shaped The opinion of the na- J lives regarding its length, etc., differs ? very much, but all agree that the reptile Is amphibious and declare they have seen forty feet or more lying dor- * mant on the bank, while the supposed . tall, sixty or seventy feet from shore, ^ created a commotion In the water re sembllng the wash of an ocean . steamer." / J SUFFOCATED NATRUM Fbree Children, Playing In Attic, Die Like the fiinerra of Samuel Rogers' Poem. 3RAWLED INTO BOX TO RIDE Jd Snipped Down and They Coridnt Path It Up ?

Pull fifty years'were past and all fofgot When on an idle day, a day of search Mid the old lumber in the gallery rhat molderlng chest was noticed, and 'twas said By one as young, as thoughtless as Qlnevra, *Why not remove H from its lurking place?" Twas done as soon as said, but on the . way [t burst; it fell, and, lo, a skeleton. With here and there, a pearl, an emerald stone, k golden clasp, clasping a shred of gold! All else had perished save a nuptial ring knd a small seal, her mother's legacy, Engraven with a name, the name of both, "Glnevra." There then had she found a grave! Within that chest had she concealed herself, Fluttering with joy, the happiest of the happy, When a spring lock that lay in ambush there Fastened her down forever! -Prom Samuel Rogers' poem, "Glnevra," written a century ago. Smothered to death In a trunk which hey evidently bad used as a bed in heir play, three small children of Mrs. idelore Vanslette of Kankakee, 111., vere found by their mother after they lad been missing for four hours. The rwo youngest, Roseley, six, and Pearl, wo years old, were lying on a pillow n the bottom of the trunk, where it is rapposed they went to sleep. The oldest Ida, eight, was sitting upright and vas still alive when fpund by her nother, but died a few minutes after. Ida had participated in the Merao ial day. celebrations in the afternoon ind bad reached home completely tired rat She asked for her supper, and ifter eating she went upstairs with her tmallcr sisters. Mrs. Vanslette went CHEBB warn TEE 8TILL FOBMS 07 THE LITTLE ONES. ibotrt her work and gave the children 10 second thought until about 9 o'clock, when she went up to get the baby, who lsually slept with her parents. After searching from room to room ind not finding them she discovered lie tray of a trunk on one of the beds. More In curiosity than in hope of findng the children, she raised the lid of he trunk. There were the still forms >f the little ones. Screaming with terror, the distracted nother seized the children and placed hem in bed, vainly trying to awaken hem. ' Neighbors heard her cries and mrrled into the house. The eyes of he oldest girl opened as she was pickid up. She was carried at once to the >pen air, and artificial respiration was esorted to without success. The three children were buried In one casket The trunk in which the children were allocated is not self locking, but has ilasps which might bold against the ttrength of children. Billiards In a Lions' C?ffe. A sensational performance took place ecently at the Stoke Hippodrome in ^ondon, where two local billiard play!T8 arranged to play a match of tweny-flve up in the center of a lions' cage. Che lions, which were under the conrnl of. a ladv trainer, sat around the Age on pedestals. Shortly after the j rame had begun one of the animals rave a lond roar, which so frightened ?ne of the players that he dropped his rae. As the game proceeded the lions ;rew excited at the presence of the trangers and dashed around the cage n an alarming manner. The match asted some ten minutes, and the playrs were loudly cheered as they left he cage. % . x \\ 3 . 'it.*' , == :j 1 BaagMaHtMBaEeMM^ j St ... YOU CAN HAVE ...
