Samberg ISferalb Thursday, July 12.1906 Short Locals. Mr. TV. M. McCue announces himself in this issue as a candidate for County Supervisor. "What is council going to do about enforcing the law against gates opening on the sidewalk? Mr. L. A. Singley is prepared to put cane bottoms in chairs at reasonable prices. Satisfaction guaranteed. Farmers are taking advantage of the few fair days we have had recently and are killing the grass at a rapid rate. Thr Home Missions Society will meet next Tuesday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock in the ladies parlor of the Methodist church. The building for the People's Bank is nearing completion, and the bank will open up for business shortly after the first of August. Mr. J. M. Jennings is at work boring artesian wells at the oil mill and Fitting School here. He has two outfits and ?works two gangs. Rev. Peter Stokes, pastor of the Methodist church here, is in Branchville this week, assisting Rev. E. H. Beckham in a protracted meeting. Bamberg needs more and better store v?;i^in<rc Tt ie a reflection on our town UUHUiU6?. that the business houses generally should be such poor structures. Mr. X. M. Salley has accepted the position of superintendent of the Greenwood city schools. His many friends rejoice -at his success in his profession. Jacob F. Copeland, of the Enrhardt section, announces himself in this issue as a candidate for County Commissioner. See his announcement in our candidates' column. Our streets would present a lively appearance these days if only commercial travellers were stirring around. Numbers of them are visiting Bamberg along about now. The young ladies of the Epworth League will serve refreshments, such as ice cream, lemonade and lunches, in the town hall Friday from 12 o'clock until late in the afternoon. The speaking in the court house here Friday will begin promptly at eleven o'clock. County Chairman Folk has not yet heard whether the congressional candidates will be present or not. The party elected cotton weigher at -Olar by the county board last week was J. E. Morris and not E. T. Morris as published. The correction is made for the . purpose of keeping the record straight. Tho Hamhprfr Rankinsr Company offers for sale the brick building now occupied I by the company as a bank. It will go at a bargain for quick sale. See Mr. H. J. Brabham, president, for further information. Our correspondent who writes "Country Correspondence" inquires if ladies are invited to hear Senator Tillman and the congressional candidates in the court house Friday. They are, and will be cordially welcomed. . Mr. H. G. Sheridan and family moved into the Koger house on Railroad Avenue last Monday. The Head master's residence at the Fitting School is vacant for the present, and will be until the arrival of Headmaster Hogan and family. Mr. J. W. Smoak, formerly of this city, 'but who is now living at Young's Island, has been magistrate at that place for some time, but he has gotten tired of the cares of office holding and resigned. D. H. Towles has been appointed to fill the vacancy. The tax levy for this county ought to be very light next year, as there is considerable money on hand and values have increased largely this year. The total taxable property of the county will amount to very much more than it did a few years ago. . The suggestion has been made that a meeting be held here Friday and antidispensary candidates for the legislature put in the field. We do not know whether any?action has been taken on the suggestion or not, but we would certainly like to see the sentiment of our people tested. Crops are in bad shqpe and the candi -dates for county offices continue to come out. It is likely that there will be a good crowd in the field when the entries close. The office of county commissioner, with ^a salary of only $110 a year, seems to be the most tempting plum, as more candidates are announced for this than any other office. A charter has been issued by the Secretary of State to the "Cotton Bank" at Rowesville, Orangeburg county. The capital stock is $15,000. V. P. Shuler is ' president; J. C. Funches, vice president; . and J. H. Moore, cashier. This makes at , least ten banks in Orangeburg county and possibly more. We are not sure as ; to the exact number. The building committee of Bamberg Banking Company let the contract for their new bank building last Thursday. It was awarded to a colored contractor from Orangeburg. It is to be a handsome - two-story building. Work is to begin just as soon as material can be procured, and it is to be finished by the first of December. There will be offices on the .second floor. Some gentlemen on the street a few days ago were discussing a certain man, and one gentleman in the crowd spoke up and said there were a lot worse men than this man. Another in the crowd said if there were any worse men they were in the legislature or dispensary. The people of Bamberg county seem to be sore on both the legislature and dispensary. ? ' * * ? VI Farmers in inis county are very uiue, N and they have good reason to be. Conditions for making a crop have been very unfavorable all the year and the rains during last and this month have done great damage. The ground remains too wet to do much plowing and grass is growing rapidly. It appears reasonable to state that in this immediate section not more than fifty per cent, crop average prevails now, so far as cotton is concerned. Corn is a little better generally than last year. As Col. Lumpkin has withdrawn from the race for the Senate, he will not be here to-morrow, (Friday) v ith Senator Tillman to make a speech. The Senator will be here, and there will no doubt be a good crowd present to hear him. County Chairman H. C. Folk has invited the candidates for congress from the second district to be present, and it is likely that Messrs. Patterson, Hair and Toole will ail be present. It Is to be hoped the speeches will be better than those heard here State campaign day. Miss Sallie E. Hartzog and Mr. George Delk were married at the Methodist parsonage in Barnwell last Sunday evening at seven o'clock by Rev. R. A. Yongue, pastor of the Barnwell circuit. The case against Ubi V. Millicau, who killed his step father, P. L. Cannon, in Spartanburg some time ago, has been set for trial to-day (Thursday.) However, it is thought the case will be continued, as Millicau is sick. If you expect to vote in the comiug primary elections make it your personal business to see that your name is on your Democratic club roll. The officers of the club probably have it there, but no man is infallible, and yours might be the name overlooked. Do not go to sleep over this matter, it is important. New candidates are coming into the field rieht alone, and the campaign in this county promises to be an interesting one. We should have more campaign meetings however. Only two have been appointed, one at Ehrhardt and the other at Bamberg. Other clubs should ask for meet ings, and the county chairman will appoint additional meetings on request of any club. The State campaign meeting at Orangeburg Tuesday was quiet outside of the clash between A. C. Jones and Cole L. Blease, both from Newberry and candidates for governor. It looked like the two men would fight for awhile, but they quieted down. Manning seemed to be the favorite candidate for governor. The dispute between Jones^sd Blease grew out a discussion of Newberry matters. New Advertisements. Robert W. Durrett, Principal?Welsh Neck High School. F. M. Moye?Groceries.

Chief Clerk Wilson, of the comptroller general's office, was in the city last week for the purpose of making the annual set tlement with our county officials. Everything was found in good shape, and the settlement was very easily made. It is said that the county has on hand in cash at present several thousand dollars more than will be necessary to pay expenses until taxes are collected this fall. This showing is a fine one, and is highly creditable to the able financial management of Supervisor E. C. Bruce. When he went into office six years ago the county was badly in debt, and to-day we have considerable money ahead, while the tax levy has not been materially increased. "Father broke his leg this morning." "Accidentally, eh?" "We think so. Father is hardly cantankerous enough to do a thing of that sort on purpose." A'i .. Candidates Cards.

CLUB LIFE ECONOMIES POOR MEN IN THE SWELL ORGANIZATIONS OF NEW YORK. A Democracy Where All, Regardless of Income, Are Equal?Membership In a First Rate Club Regarded as ? Profitable Investment. A good many country visitors are disappointed when they learn the sober truth that New York has no clubs composed exclusively of millionaires. It is harder still to make country folk I believe that hundreds of men Join the so called swell clubs in large part from motives of economy. There are scarcely three clubs in tha city that do not include a considerable number of poor men in their membership. The average income of the whole membership of the ten best known clubs in the city is probably nearer $10,000 a year than $50,000 a year, and almost every one of these clubs includes some scores of men with incomes well below $10,000 and a good many with Incomes well below $5,000. There is a real democracy of New York club life. Youths in their early twenties and just beginning their careers on very moderate salaries frequent truly palatial clubhouses, breakfast in rooms such as few princes ever use and lounge before fireplaces that are to be matched only in the most splendid buildings of Europe. The poor man's credit at the club is as good as the rich man's, and both are <Tnnai^lo1lT> nnofoH Trhon ther TIMrWt AUlJ^aiUUiy TTUV4A WMVy MV0.VV to pay their bills in good season. There are a good many instances also in which the monthly bills of tthe poor man are higher than those of his rich fellow member, for the frequenters of clubs are apt to be the poorer rather than the richer members. Many a man of small means regards his membership in a first rate club in the light of a profitable investment Such a man, if a confirmed bachelor, has probably lived for twenty years within half a block of the club, paying a few hundreds a year for a small bedroom and finding all his luxuries in the apartments of the clubhouse. Without being in the least mean he makes of the club a money saving institution for himself. Its comfortable lounging rooms save him annually from $300 to $1,000 a year in rent according to the location in which be has his modest lodgings. After that he saves a fair percentage on everything he eats and drinks at the club. His simple breakfast costs him perhaps 10 per cent less than it would cost at any restaurant\ he would be likely to frequent, and the same is true of his dinners. If he takes three-fourths of his meals at the club he saves annually about $100 in tips. If he drinks wine at dinner he saves from 10 to 25 per cent bpon every bottle. If be permits himself the luxury of a cat> De saves a nanasome percentage by ordering tt through the club and avoids all possibility of a row with the cabby over the amount of the fare. Many a man writes all his letters of a social character and some of s business character at the club, and thus saves from $15 to $40 a year in stationery. He need buy no books, nor need be subscribe to a library, for there is the club library free for bis use. He never need buy a periodical or even a newspaper save when he travels, for all that he reads are freely supplied by the club. And the enjoyment of all these things imposes upon him no considerable expenditure for extravagant luxuries. He is sure, especially in the college dubs, to find plenty of men with like modest Incomes and simple tastes as himself, and he may sit for hours with cronies over the cafe table without spending money that he cannot afford and without giving offense to the servants of the house committee. Most club members probably do not keep a debit and credit account with the dub, but the man of modest means and moderate habits would find the examination of such an account a matter of great satisfaction. Such a man, paying $250 as an entrance fee and $75 a year in dues, is likely to find himself ttoom a Inner XTflV HI Ult? CUU Ui incutj /vuib ? >v~e .. ?, ahead of the game. The club in twenty years baa cost him rather less than $2,000 for entrance fees, dues and contributions to the Christmas box, and his savings by reason of the club have been from $10,000 to $16,000.?New York Sun. i A itotoihi Love. A Boston clergyman whose work takes him among the poor of that town tells a pretty story of sisterly love existing among the humble and unfortunate. One day a pale and ragged girl of about ten years was seen going along the street carrying on her back her crippled brother, nearly as old as she. A stranger stopped her by saying that she was overexerting herself. "He Is too heavy for you to carry," he said She child of the ghetto looked up at him reproachfully, saying: "He alnt heavy. He is my brother." Capddne. Tne active principle ut ta^siuiuu, v* red pepper, is a volatile oil known as capsiclne. It Is so exceedingly acrid that a quarter of a grain exposed to the air in a room will diffuse itself ' throughout the apartment and cause all present to cough and sneeze as though the pepper had been taken into the mouth or nostrils.
