Thursday, October 18,1906 Newspaper men all over South Carolina will rejoice at the promotion of William BaDks, of the Columbia State. Banks is a fine newspaper-man and a mighty good ^fellow all round. Better things are still ahead of him. We shall watch with interest the doings of our legislative delegation at the session of the general assembly in January. We shall be glad to report if they prove of aDy actual service find benefit to the people of Bamberg county. The present system of supporting paupers in this county is a most expensive one. The most economical and sat isfactory plan would be to purchase land and establish a poor farm as other counties have. The county will never be better able to stand the expense of buying the land than right now. Let our legis* lative delegation get busy. Bamberg county is now in fine financial condition, and the money to establish a poor farm would be easily available. There is, no question but that ut would be economy to buy some land near town and have a permanent home for the paupers of the county. Our legislative delegation can serve the interests of the * tax payers by taking up this project in earnest. Mayor R. G. Rhett, of Charleston, has announced that he will be a candidate for re-election. He should be nominated unanimously. He has been of much service to Charleston during his first term, and it is safe to assume that he is now in position to do better work for the next two years. The South Carolina Press Association has much interest in Char leston's coming municipal election, for all the members will want to see Rhett as mayor when we meet there next year. I The death of Rev. Sam P. Jones will bring genuine sorrow to many hearts, not |V V only in the South, but all over the country, for he was widely known through his evangelical and lecture work. While ? many of us may have disapproved of his style and methods, there is no question but that he did a great deal of good. While he made much money, he gave a good part of it away for charitable and benevolent purposes. There was only one Sam Jones, but there is no question that the world is better because there was one. * m The condition of Main street is and has been for years well-nigh a disgrace to Bamberg. The present city council nor the city officials before them are not to blame for the conditions. But in the first place the street is entirely too narrow and the gradual slope makes it wash badly. Nothing in the way of permanent work can be done on it unless it is paved with crushed rock, vitrified brick or something of the sort. The sidewalks, too, should be laid in concrete from the I cotton mill to the railroad, and the pav. ing should extend for this distance. Some : ' may say the town cannot afford it, but such is not the case. We know of no . town government better off financially. m, .1 a. ~ c .1 c?. ? AJJC uubi ui me past ic? > cat3 uas damaged enough goods for the merchants of the town, the value of which would go a long way towards paving the entire street. As soon as the wet weather ... comes one can hardly get along for the mud. We should not put up with such conditions longer. Let city council take a bold step and pave the street and cement the sidewalks. The most practicable scheme for raising the money for the work it seems to us would be for the property owners on the street to pay two-thirds of the cost and the city the other onethird. This would not make it burdensome on anybody, and it would give us good streets and sidewalks for the business section of town. Some people might object at first, but council would find out in a short while that they could not have done a more popular thing. The editor of this paper owns property on both sides of the street, and we would gladly pay our proportion of the cost. We hope city council will take up the matter, and that right speedily. Negro Killed at Denmark. J. W. Griffin, who is charged with having shot and killed Winston Parlor, colored, at Denmark, came to Bamberg yesterday and surrendered to Sheriff Hunter. The shooting occurred on the day that' the Robinson's circus showed at Denmark about two weeks ago and Parlor died Monday. From what we can learn Griffin and Redmond, linemen for the Bell Telephone Company, .were both implicated in the killing, but'the coroner's jury exonerated Redmond. Griffin is from Savannah, Ga., and Redmond from Woodruff, S. C. It was impossible to find out any particulars as to how the killing occurred. A Careful Han. "You can't do any good work in the world without offending somebody," said Congressman Longworth in an address. "The man who makes no enemies is the man who does no good. "Some men but for this fear of making enemies might accomplish something. As it is, they remind me of the dying man who was too cautious even to make his peace with Providence. " 'Do you renounce the devil and all his works?' the minister said to this man. "And the dying man replied in a weak, hesitating voice: " Tlease don't ask me that. I'm going to a strange country, and I don't want to make myself enemies.'" A BADLY BURNED GIRL or boy, man or woman, is quickly out of pain if Bucklen's Arnica Salve is applied promptly. G. J. Welch, of Tekonsba. Mich., says: "I use it in my family for cuts, sores, and skin injuries and find it perfect." Quickest pile cure known. Best healing salve made. 25c at Hoover's Drug Store and J. B. Black. Rev. Sam P. Jones, the well known evangelist of Cartersville, Ga., died suddenly of heart disease last Monday in a sleeping car near Perry, Ark. He had been conducting a revival at Oklahoma City, I. T , and was on his way home. His wife and two daughters were with him when he died. He was fifty-nine years old.

Susie had tried the teacher's patience sorely and when the latter looked up and saw the little girl chewing gum, with her feet sprawling into the aisle, shfe said: "Susie Jones, take that gum out of your mouth and put your feet in."

An old ex Ku Klux was in Yorkville this week and recited an interesting story as to the sudden disappearance xof Kirkland L. Gunn while giving evidence in the famous KuKlux trials in Columbia years ago. Gunn was a native of McConnellsville and had been a member of the Ku-Klux Klan,'but for some reason became a traitor to the organization and was a witness against his former comrades. His evidence was extremely damaging to York county Clansmen; he had been on the witness stand nearly the entire day and when court adjourned in the evening his story had been only partially told and would no doubt have consumed the greater part of the following day. When court convened the next morning Gtmn was not present. He had disappeared during the night. Diligent effort on the, part of she authorities failed to locate the miss-, ing witness. Gunn's disappearance baffled every one connected with the court. He has never been heard of from that day to this. The old Clansman then gave an account of a skeleton that was unearthed in Columbia a few weeks ago when certain excavations were being made on lower Main street. He happened to be in Columbia at the time and made some quiet personal investigations into the matter.He would not swear that the skeleton was not that of Kirkland Gunn. When Gunn was "lost" in Columbia some thirty years ago that portion of the city where the skeleton was, found was almost in woods so to speak, and it would be hard for those who were present at the time to identify the spot now. However, personal acquaintances remember that Gunn had a mouthful of round even teeth. The ravages of time had not rubbed the skeleton of this prominent feature. Was it the skeleton of Kirkland L. Gunn? The old Ku Klux Clansman would not say.?Yorkville New Era. They Agreed. A clergyman on an Atlantic voyage had to share a state-room with another man. "After a short whjle," said the clergyman, "I began to worry about some valuables I had with me, and at last I took them to the purser, saying, T should like to explain to you that I am very pleased with my fellow-passenger. That is, j T n?3 1 nnu mill a. geuueina.ii 111 evei/.y icspect, and I wouldn't have you think that?well, I wouldn't have you think that my coming- to you with these valuables is to be taken?er?er?as any reflection on him.' The purser interrupted me with a broad smile, and said, 'Oh, it's all right, sir, your friend has come to me with some valuables of his own, and he said precisely the same thing about your-' self.'" DANGER FROM THE PLAGUE. There's grave danger from the plague of coughs and colds that are so prevalent, unless you take Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds. Mrs. Geo. Walls, of Forest City, Me., writes: "It's a Godsend to people living in climates where coughs and colds prevail. I find it quickly ends them. It prevents pneumonia, cures la grippe, gives relief in asthma and hay fever, and makes weak lungs strong enough to ward off consumption, coughs and colds, oocand $1.00. Trial bottle free.
