tko Oz-jiimhift Rtat.p fiavs the Carolina
Glass Company is controlled by "honorable"
men of th?t city. "And so are
they all honorable men." 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.

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. But we want no dodging orshuf a~

Mr. John J. 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?

feet to the bed and blew a ring of
smoke celHngward from hit cigar. 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

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

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. If sbe were

it under foot
Marshall never knew what be did :
before the crucial time came,t the mo- .
ment of the party's rising from the
table after lunch, but no detail of '
what followed escaped bim. 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

course Mohammed must come to the

The Florentine Epicure. f
Your typical Florentine Is epicurean (
to the toe tips. His enthusiasms and ^
yearnings are quite other than those 2

He < may be a marquis and seventh or \
eighth in direct descent, but be will be (
content to forego the assertion of bis ?
rank so he may thenceforward enjoy f
the priceless boon of leisure and independence.
His leisure be will dissipate
at the cafe with perhaps two
three-halfpenny sweet fluids per diem,
and you may study the effect of his independence
In his courtly manners
even though his hat he worn at the
brim and his coat back be deplorably
shiny. He Is a pellucid brook, shallow
as you please, yet engaging for his

DimelPa Retirement.
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. After 1
his death his memory became to Eng- 1

sentimental affection; to English Radi- <

When on an idle day, a day of search
Mid the old lumber in the gallery

Engraven with a name, the name of both,
"Glnevra." There then had she found a

Within that chest had she concealed herself,
Fluttering with joy, the happiest of the

When a spring lock that lay in ambush
there
Fastened her down forever!

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

rwo youngest, Roseley, six, and Pearl,
wo years old, were lying on a pillow

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

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
