Strong Argument.
- .r
Somebodr has said to train a child
properly one should begin with its grandparents.
There is something in the idea.
The men and women who go to make up
South Carolina's illiteracy?which is a re?
* proach to the State?were neglected by
their parents, and those parents probably
by their own. They cannot read and
write because their parents did not compel
them to go to school and the parents
did not compel them to go because they
were not compelled to send them.
The strongest argument in favor of
compulsory education that we have ever
; * seen was a petition to the last legislature
concerning the "ten hour law," from "mill
operatives, citizens and merchants of
Pelzer," dated February 6, 1905, which
> contains 554 names, and of these ONE
lg V HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SIX MAKE
THEIR MARK. One of the saddest
". ? <
sights is to see attached to a paper "John
Smith, X, his mark," or "Mary Jones, X,
her mark;" and yet in this one petition
nearly twenty five per cent of the signers
signed that way.
* This does not necessarily mean that
they are "ignorant" people, but it does
mean they cannot read and write?and
what an affliction is that to a human being.
What a reproach to any white man or
woman?not so much to him perhaps as
to his parents. And a reproach to the
State that it permits its boys and girls to
grow up illiterate. The State furnishes
the means for education to all; but it per/
mits grasping and selfish and indifferent
parents to keep their children out of i
school.

Refused to Move Prom Seats for White Pas
senders?Afterwards Fires Into the Car.
Columbia, August 17.?There was con
siderable excitement here this afternoon
and talk of a lynching. It blew over anc
the storm seems to be over. All sorts oi
reports were in circulation. One was
that a negro man had attempted to sit in
a lady's lap, and the negro was kicked of
the car and then fired into the car.
The situation really appears 10 oe mai
Manson Hamilton, a negro porter at the
Ridgewood Club, was riding out tc
Ridgewood on a car with some excursion'
ists from Clinton. He occupied a seat ir
the section for white passengers. The
conductor went to Hamilton and told
him to get in the seats intended for col
ored passengers. It is said he declined
to do so and a row followed. The white
passengers joined in and the result was
that Hamilton was put off the car. Ham
ilton claims to have been kicked and badly
treated. The conductor and others
claim that he was simply put off the car,
The car passes by Hamilton's home
and on the return trip Hamilton was
standing in his door and shot into the
? ntAnf WtiM A foTT CtYloll
JL 1JC OUUb TTCUli TT A1U* IV ?* oujmaj
shot hit Mr. George Ware on the hand
and a few hit Conductor Younginer.
There was considerable excitement in the
city and in some way the report spread
that if Hamilton were caught he would
be lynched. He came to Columbia quietly,
went to the county jail and is there
now. The officers will vigorously prosecute
Hamilton for his conduct -and for
shooting into the car. Fortunately no
one was at all seriously hurt.
Hamilton claims that his gun went off
accidentally. The passengers on the train
claim that Hamilton deliberately shot
into the car. Hamilton ran and he was
chased. Superintendent Wallace had a
warrant sworn out against Hamilton and
soon a posse was hunting him. Duringtbe
evening Hamilton came to Columbia in
company with Mr. Brown Hyatt and surrendered.
He is now in jail. He only
asked to say that the gun went off accidentally
and that he was badly treated on
the train.

Her Sick Husband.
A man who ha<J acquired the impression
that he was afflicted with several serious
diseases, was in the habit of dosing
himself with patent medicines and lying
in bed while his wife supported him and
tbe rest of the family by taking in washing.
Finally a physician, who was onto
the situation, remarked to the wife:
"Madam, if you will announce to that
husband of yours that you have concluded
to take a vacation from the tub, and
that he will have to either hustle for a living
or starve, you will see his health improve
faster than any man's you ever saw."
There are plenty of people who imagine
they are sick, when, as a matter of fact, it
is selfishness and laziness that ails them.
The Delineator for September.
The Delineator for September is packed
with good reading matter for everyone.
The woman of fashion will find much of
interest in the many pages devoted to
dress, millinery and neckwear; and those
who are otherwise inclined may derive a
great deal of pleasure and entertainment
from the literary features provided in this
number. Barry Pain, the well known
humorist, contributes the first chapter of
"The Diary of a Baby," a story that promises
to be one of the brightest and cleverest
this author has ever written. Everyone
must enjoy the observations of this
precocious baby, and follow with amusement
its budding career.
The Williamsons' delightful story of a
motor-boat and its jolly crew in Holland
is continued, and those who admire the
two famous authors of motor stories will
I learn much of them from their personal
side in an article contributed bv John
Harvey. There are short stories by Ellis
Parker Butler, Tudor Jenks, and an article
of practical value on "How Not to
| Spoil the Hair," by Juliet Marion Lee, a
specialist in this line. Housewives will
welcome the advent of M. Jean Marie
Devaux, a celebrated authority on cooking,
as culinary editor of the magazine.
A feature of special interest in this department
is "The Culinary Dictionary,"
giving the meaning of the terms used in
cooking and menu-making, which is to
be continued from month to month until
completed, and along with a series of
"Favorite Recipes of Famous People,"
gives a distinct originality to these pages.
The home-builder will get some splendid
ideas in W. H. Wilkinson's illustrated article,
"An Old House Altered," and in
Alice Kellogg's article on "Furnishing the
House; treating of Dressing the Bed."
And for the children are stories and
amusements well calculated to keep
brains and fingers busy.

Fish Fry Near Ehrhardt.
Editor The Bamberg Herald: It was
the pleasure of the writer to visit last
week that section of the county near
Ehrhardt, where the Bishops, Goodsons,
and Kinards live. This is one of the best
communities that I have ever visited.
When one has the good fortune to get in
this neighborhood, he soon experiences
the meaning of the word neighbor, or
i learns what it is to be a neighbor.
These people are always anxious and
willing to do each other a favor, it matters
not in what way, whether in the sick
room or in other accommodations, it is
done in the same good spirit. They be
lieve in doing for their neighbor with
their hands what their hearts find to do.
Too much can't be said of the congeniality
that exists among these people. The
most casual observer wouldn't pass it unnoticed.
The men are good farmers. They do
their own work independent of the service
of the hegro, and I was told that the
great majority had money ih the bank.

the fish fry which I so much enjoyed on
the 11th in this same section. The fish
were brought out of little Saltkahatchie
swamp by expert fishermen, and were
fried by the ladies at the home of Mr.
Adam Kinard. A table made of a few
barrels and some plank was placed under
some magnificent shade trees just in front
of the house. When dinner was announced
not only the nice brown trout,
jack and many more of their companions,
were found on the table, but all things
that a man with the slightest appetite
could wish for. Cakes, pies, custards,
fried chicken, pork, steak and many other
eatables, which were very palatable to the
taste, with plenty of cold and warm
drinks.
As I see in my mind that table as it
wa9iit reminds me of what I imagine
Belshazzar's feast was. *1 suppose he
ha<^ all good things, and I know that all
things were good on this table. Only,
there wasn't any wines, and of course, no
one wanted it. Quite a crowd was present
and all got plenty to eat. I suspect
most of us ate too much, for we couldn't
refuse when the gentle ladies would
bring around those things on which they
bad displayed their wonderful talents in
cooking.
Mr. G. W. Goodson and family, also
Mr. Roy Goodson, were among the visitors
present. Every one felt perfectly at
home, visitors were in no ways awkward.
They were impressed as being with old
reliable friends. Plenty of jokes and
lots of fun were carried on during the
time. Old veterans sat around and talked
of war times, the younger set enjoyed
themselves in the usual ways. Everybody
had a good time in general. Such
a gathering or coming together of neighbors
will elevate any section of country.
I only wish that we could have more just
such neighborhoods as the one that is the
subject of this brief sketch.
Mr. Editor, I wish you success.

arrived last night and the plant will be

BRITONS WrLL RETURN VISIT.
Ancient and Honorable Artillery Companies of
London and Boston to be Encamped at
the Jamestown Exposition,
Norfolk, Va.?Among the many national
and foreign organizations to attend
and participate in the grand military
display of the Jamestown Exposition, to
be held on the shores of Hampton Roads
in 1907, will be the Ancient and Honorable
Artillery Companies of London and
Boston, two of the oldest and most honored
organizations in the world.
Some time ago, invitations were sent
oat by Mr. R. H. Sexton, chief of the Department
of Congresses and Special
Events, inviting the Boston company to
attend the Exposition. The department
has recently heard from Col. Sidney M.
Hedges, in command of the organization,
stating that they would be glad to participate
in the military display at the
Jamestown Exposition and would bring
with them the Ancient and Honorable
Artillery of London.
Some years ago the Boston Artillery
were entertained in London by the
Aucient and Honorable Artillery of that
city and at that time the Britishers promised
to return the visit as soon as practicable.
Realizing the splendid opportunity
afforded by the Jamestown Exposition,
the Boston Company have invited
the London organization to pay them a
visit in 1907 and take in the military
celebrations at the Mer-Centennial.
The Ancient and Honorable Artillery
of London is the oldest organization of
its kind in Great Britian, dating back to
the year 1537, antedating the "Royal Yeomen,"
however, by only a few years.
Daring the civil war of England from
1042 to 1048, this organization sustained
the House of Parliament with great effect
and later in the "Lord Ge<frge Gordon"
riots the company was called out in defense
of the Bank of England. In later
years the Artillery of London has become
more of a social organization, in
which only the very best blood of England
is represented. The military features
are still retained, however, and the
AAmnanv Vina Us wtmlsr wpplrlv drills At
? --Q J ?
Finsbury and a yearly encampment at
Moorfield.
Members are elected to the organization
by the ballot of a committee known
as the "Court of Assistants." The fees
are two guineas annually, with an initiation
fee of five pounds. Since the year
1S49 the officers of the organization have
been appointed by the Crown, but prior
to that date the positions were obtained
by inheritance, the oldest son receiving
the commission upon the death of his
father. The colonel of the company appoints
his own non-commissioned officers
from the ranks.
In its first years, the organization was
composed of companies of artillery only,
but in later years it has taken in several
other branches of the service, retaining
its original name, however. The corps
numbers about 800 at present and is composed
of six companies of infantry, a
troop of light cavalry and a company of
veterans, the latter corresponding very
closely to our army retired list.
The Ancient and Honorable Artillery
of Boston was organized in 1637, just a
hundred years later than the London Artillery,
of which it is a model. This organization
is composed of the descendants
of commissioned officers of the Col
onial and Revolutionary armies, and, like
the London Artillery, was originally a
purely military organization, but in later
years has become one of the most fashionable
social bodies of the country.
These two rival organizations, camped
side by side next year at the Jamestown
Exposition, will indeed furnish a novel
and impressive sight.
No Wonder He Moved.
The following notice was found posted
on a deserted homestead in the arid regions
of Kansas: "Four miles from a
.neighbor, sixteen miles from a postoffice,
twenty-five miles from a railroad, fourteen
miles from a school house, forty-one
miles to a church, 180 miles to timber,
600 miles to a democrat, half a mile to
hell and the same distance to a republi-;
can. Gone to South Carolina?God's j
country?to get a fresh start."
No Excuse.
There is no reasonable excuse for any
man to live in a town if he does not like
it. If you have no word of commendation
to say for your town, its institutions or
people, emigrate. You won't stop the
town clock by going away. The church
bells will have the same musical ring, the
little dogs will play just as well and the
fresh air, bright sunshine and sparkling
water will have the same healthy properties.
Speak a good word for your neighbor
if you can, if you cannot, don't ever
enlarge on his faults. If you have become
thoroughly disgusted, move away; go
where things will suit you.

"How to keep off periodic attacks of biliousness

TWO NEGROES LYNCHED.

BOB DAVIS SHOT TO DEATH IN GREENWOOD
COUNTY LAST THURSDAY.

Negro Boy Lynched in Saluda.
Bob Davis, the negro man who so brutally
attacked Miss Jennie Brooks at her 1
father's store in Greenwood county last
week with a meat knife, was caught .
Thursday afternoon and shot to death.
The crime was committed Tuesday, and "
wnue lie iauea 01 ms nenisn purpose, me
young lady's throat and hands were badly
cut, and she will carry the marks for ^
life. Crowds went out scouring the whole
country for the negro as soon as the
crime became known, and the chase was ^
i 1 (
J kept up until he was captured. He was ^
at once carried to the Brooks home and
the young lady positively identified him, ^
as also did a negro woman whose eleven- j
year-old daughter he had assaulted after
his attack on Miss Brooks.
Governor Heyward had gone up from
Columbia and pleaded with the crowd
not to lynch the negro. He was heard
quietly and respectfully, but it had no
effect, and the crowd took the negro off
into the woods and shot him. Negroes j
assisted in the search for Davis and seemed
glad that he was put to death.
?
Dan Etheredge, a negro boy, last Thurs. ^
day in Saluda county, attempted to as- g
sault the little daughter of a Mr. West, for j,
whom he was working. The little girl t
is only seven years old, and he enticed c
her into the stable and choked and other- t
wise maltreated her. While he did not
succeed in accomplishing bis pnrpose, t
the little girl was badly injured and for
two days her life was in danger. He
was a small negro, and is said to have
been fifteen years old. He was caught
at Wards Monday, and was shot to death
near Summerland about nine o'clock that
night. He admitted his guilt.
Mr. LaFitte Tells Where He Stands.
Editor of The Bamberg JIerald: A
few weeks ago you very kindly offered
the columns of your valuable paper .to
any candidate who wished to discuss a
political issue, so that the voters of the
county would know where the candidates
stood, and, therefore, vote more intelligently.
I appreciate your kind offer, and
as I have been confined in the hospital
for some time, unable to take part in the
campaign, and discuss the issues with the
people, and that a certain opponent of
mine has been going over the county assailing
me on the dispensary question,
making statements that I stood for local
option, and was against the State dispensary;
such statements being without foundation,
as my record as a representative
shows that every vote I cast in the* last
Qeueral Assembly was to maintain the
State dispensary, and further, the record
will show that I made one of the leading
speeches in the House against the Morgan
Bill. Now, II wish to state briefly my ,
position on the State dispensary, and the i
other questions that are being agitated, ,
so that the people will see where I stand %,
over my own signature. ,

I stand for the State dispensary, believ- <;

judgment is the best solution of the liquor ^

honorable men, so it can be run on
as high a plane as possible. I am opposed t
to the State dispensary handling case *
goods. I am in favor of buying the j
whiskey direct from the government ]
bonded warehouses, and have the State
to take out rectifier's license, and do her
own blending. Hence, giving us pure
whiskey. I am in favor of each county i
retaining all the profits arising from the
dispensary, save that which goes to pay
the actual running expenses of the State
dispensary.
PUBLIC BOAD8.
I am in favor of building and maintaining
good and substantial public roads,
that the farmers of our country may more <

EDUCATION. I
I have always stood and advocated i
good school houses and good teachers in '
our rural schools. In my humble judg- 1
ment, I don't believe any country can be 1
nrosnerous without thev adhere to good .
education. I believe in' maintaining the
colleges, bat on a more economical basis
in the future than we have in the past.
It is not my desire to deter the colleges
from the valuable work which they are
doing; they are like shining jewels in our
State, but in maintaining the colleges I
believe due consideration should be given
to the common schools. I am opposed to
compulsory education: 1st. Because I
believe it is undemocratic in every principle,
depriving a man of the highest privilege
that is known to the human race, s
that is managing his own child. In my
humble judgment, it is a stroke at the
mudsills of our government, and an in- 1
suit to liberty. E. T. LaFitje. (

NEGROES TRY TO LYNCH A NEGRO.
? m
Object of Their Wrath Accused of Attempting
to Assault a Little Colored Girl.
Greenwood, August 18.?When train
No. 3 on the Charleston and Western
Carolina road came in at 7.45 this afternoon,
three men got off with a negro
snd started at once for the police station.
[Jpon investigation it turned out to be
mother rapist, the negro, John Samuels,
it is alleged, having attempted a criminal
issault upon a little- negro girl, Sweet
Curry by name, and only nine or ten
rears old, seven mtles west of McCornick,
Thursday night. .. x -*I
The negro was brought to McCormick
;oday about 12 o'clock by Deputy Walter
Elarmon and some eight or ten negroes
;o be tried before the magistrate at that
?lace, but there being an unusually large
;rowd there today attending an election
:or cotton weigher, no little excitement
vas caused, and there was some talk of a
ynching. So the negro was put in the
ock-up and Sheriff Lyon, of Abbeville
:ounty, was telegraphed for. He wired ?li
o have the negro brought to Greenwood
ind he would meet him here and take
:harge of him. Sheriff Lyon came tolight
and carried Samuels to Abbeville, J|
vhere he has been jailed. The negro
vas brought here by Marshal E. B. Sharp,
)eputy Walter Harmon and Jas. Bey- ,
tolds. '
It seems that Samuels and the negro
;irl are related, for the little girl had -:W
leen staying for the last few days with '-fSm
iamuel's wife, who was sick, for the pur>ose
of waiting on her. From the story
hat the girl tells the attempt at rape oc- M
urred when Samuels had started to take [
he girl home.
Deputy Harmon went out to the planation
of Jno. Palmer to arrest the negro, IgB
,nd in approaching the house he saw *
Iamuel8 make for the home of the girl - jar
le attempted to rape. In company with
\ crowd of about 75 negroes, the deputy
urrounded the house, but the negro es- .'.fjl
aped into a nearby pine grove. The j
;rowd of negroes, intent upon catching -v.aj
he negro, surrounded the grove and, as
uck would have it, Samuels was captured
)y Deputy Harmon, who took him to
HcCormick for safe-keeping. The negro
was arrested and brought to the town
ind a crowd of negroes congregated xJt
around the jail and demanded the keys
of Marshal Sharp, - ho refused to give r
them up.
It is thought that another lynching
would have occurred were it not for the
tjuick work of the deputies. The negroes
ire said to have been very much inflamed *3
it the affair, and it was the presence of
nind of the deputies which prevented a
It is a significant fact that the negroes '|a|

the world, the most trying in every way.
It means long hours and the greatest care
in lis conduct, me newspaper au tar
entire public to deal with. It is criticised
on every hand. It has to deal with ail
cranks in a community, and to do this 1 M
successfully requires judgment and pa*
tience. It has power, and that power, to
the credit of journalism is nearly always
wielded for the public good. No question
of vital concern to the people fails
to find a strong support from the paper,
md this too without remuneration. The
publisher spends his money to further
;hese projects and the community never
gives a thought to the matter of cost to
lim. It is not paid out of the public
socket. Tlie newspaper wants every
joocern to prosper. Why should not
his good will be mutual? To make a
jrofit a newspaper must have living
atcs for both paper and advertising
pace. _
