Let the new county board of control
start out with the idea to sell
as little whiskey as possible. Don't
let the profit feature dominate.
Z? Hon. C. W. Garris was in the city
last Thursday, and in talking of the
recent session of the legislature he
informed us that he did not introduce
a single bill, but that he devoted
his energies to the killing of bills.
This is about the best service a legislator
can render. The killing of
foolish and useless bills is a big task
I? at every session of the general assembly,
and we know of no more
& useful representative than the one
who devotes his time to preventing
f- such bills from being enacted into
eK? &wThe
editor of this newspaper would
be glad if there was not a drop of
whiskey made or sold, and if we had
it in our power we would abolish the
iV whole business. But so long as we
have a system of selling liquor, we
8K will lend our efforts to making it a
success, not so much in a financial
f way, but to endeavor to have the law
strictly enforced. With this in view,
we shall co-operate with those in
sfs charge of the system in this county,
and we shall give all the publicity
|N possible to their acts, thus showing
k: our people how the law is being adI
ministered.
|v John T. Meehan announces his
k' resignation as editor and manager of
Iffc the Carolina Citizen, published' at
P Jefferson, Chesterfield county. Meehan
moved his paper there from
|| Cheraw and a stock company was
1 nnnait TrkVin
?*organized to puuusu mc UV1UA I
Wk will still own a majority of the stock
fe of the company. He dpes not say
|?-,;-V what he intends to do, but no doubt
he will continue in newspaper work,
g fie reported the proceedings of the
Senate for The State during the re?j|
cent session of the general assembly,
Jf; and did his work well.
fe: It costs nearly $20,000 a year to
| ^ V run Bamberg county, and yet the
tax payers do not know how or
sg what their money is spent for. An
p: itemized statement should .be pub|
lished, showing fully and plainly the
nature of every expenditure. The
pi* people who pay the taxes should deSi^|
mand this. Our county has been extremely
fortunate, and her financial
condition is today no doubt as good
. as that of any county in the State.
We feel sure our officials are doing
!' all they can to keep down expenses.
' But that's not the point. The peo|
pie ought to know something of how
3 their money is being spent and for
l:: what purposes.
BrV'_ ,
The new county board of control
P has been appointed, and the members
" 1 r i _
have our best wishes tor an nonorame
and successful career in the positions
they have assumed. Mr. Hays is
the only member of the board whom
we know well. He is a successful
t j business man,, and we understand
that* the others are also business men
of good capacity. We believe the
system of county dispensaries in this
county under their management will
?; be a financial success, but we are not
concerned so much about this feature.
We want to - see the restrictive
features of the law carried out rigid*
; ly, the dispensaries economically
V - conducted, and the law so obeyed by
those in authority that it will be as
. near perfect as any system for controlling
the whiskey traffic can be.
. The law is a good one we believe.
If its provisions are followed by those
who have charge of affairs, not only
* will it be a financial success but the
consumption of liquor will be decreased
and possibly some poor fellow
saved from a drunkard's grave
and a drunkard's hell. The State dis,
pensary system was killed by its
friends or rather those connected
? with it. If the old system had been
properly carried out in every pro'
vision of law it would never have
been abolished. We hope that in
this county at least the new law will
be so administered that Bamberg can
be pointed to as a county where the
control and sale of liquor is admirably
managed.

It is said that another newspaper
is to be started in Edgefield by W.
P. Cahioun and W. R. Covar. Mr.
Calhoun is to be the editor, while Mr.
Covar will manage the paper. Another
losing proposition. Edgefield
is well supplied with newspapers in
the Advertiser and Chronicle, and
we can see no hope of success there
for another.
1. i5. ?r<lV15, tilt; yUUIlg WIlluc man
who forged money orders on the j
Southern Express Company amount-1
ing to $86.26 in Columbia last December,
was tried in the Richland circuit J
court last week. He plead guilty
and was sentenced to five years imprisonment.
If Travis had stole
$100,000 he would have been accounted
a great financier, and with this
much money at his disposal he could
have hired able lawyers who would
have succeeded in getting him acquitted.
The moral of his case is, if
you must be a thief don't be a petty
thief.
Both Right.
The Orangeburg Times and Democrat
republishes our paragraph in
! reference to the vote of J. A. Banks,
a member of the legislature from
that county, on the dispensary, and
says:
"Not so fast, Brother Knight.
There is no question but that you
were right, but we claim that we
were too. On the stump during the
' campaign Col. Banks said he was a
I good friend of the dispensary, and,
| while it is true he voted in the legislature
for the Carey-Cothran bill,
it is also true that he voted in the
legislature for the Richards bill.
So you see, Brother Knight, that
while Col. Banks voted against the
State dispensary when he voted for
the Carey-Cothran bill, he voted for
the State dispensary when he voted
for the Richards bill, which The
State says was a new edition of the
Raysor-Manning bill, and which was
intended to purify the State dispensary
and not kill it. If the votes recorded
by The State was correct, we
are both right, Brother Knight, as
the same day in the legislature Col.
Banks is recorded as voting for and
againstjthe State dispensary."
Entertainment at White Point.
Friday evening the White Point
school celebrated the birthday of the
father of our country. Much credit
is due to each pupil, also to Mrs.
Baker, their competent and faithful
teacher. Patriotism will not be allowed
to die in the hearts "of the boys
and girls she teaches. The stage was
simply but prettily decorated with
vines, lillies, flags, and pictures of
American heroes. At eight o'clock
i * ii J i.
tne nouse was iuh ana me entertainment
began.
The first number of the program
was a play, "The Children's Crusade
Against the Sultan of Sulkydom."
Each little woman and each little
man in the play did his best and succeeded.
Their costumes were indeed
picturesque and showed that not
only teacher and pupils were interested
in the celebration but mamas
as well.
We were glad when the juvenile
seven, aided by the fairy and led by
I'll Try, conquered the tyrant who
jmade little folks get out of bed back-,
wards, hate books, and be cross when
they did not have their own* way.
We hope they will keep their good
resolutions to love books, to smile,
and not to sulk. The play was followed
by:
Quartet and chorus?My old Kentucky
Home.
Recitation?Timrod's Lilly Confidante,
by Misses Flossie Shaw and
Ettie Kearse.
Recitation and motion song.
Then Miss Cressida Breland personating
Miss Evilina Matilda Jane
Scroggs told why she is an old maid.
The appearance of Miss Scroggs in a
black skirt, red and green plaid
waist, and pink shawl, hair sciewed
in a tight knot on top of her head,
wearing spectacles, and carrying a
"tankey" bag, was as mirth provoking
as the well rendered recitation.
Next, Miss Anabel Boyn ton,teacher
of th6 Camp Hill School, read an
essay on George Washington. The
essay was well written and well read,
a beautiful tribute to that great man.
After this the Heroes of the Revolution
held a convention.-^ During
the session those patriots sang
"America" and 'The Red White and
Blue." Special mention must be
made of Uncle Sam; he played a conspicuous
part.
The last thing on the programme
was a song by the school, "Dixie."
' After the exercises were finished
everybody joined in a cake-walk. Mr.

LOVE FLAGS^fl HUH.
Girl Holds Up Royal Blue to Accept
Fireman's Proposal.
CLIMAX OF SWIFT COURTSHIP.
Wiley Manson of the B. and 0. Wins a
Bride by Making Googoo Eyes From j
Express Locomotive Going Sixty |
Miles an Hour.
Wiley Manson, fireman 011 the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, who helps En
gineer Bill Barker pull the Royal Blue
express, is to be married. He Avon Ms
bride by one of the queerest courtships
on record, by flirting with her at sixty .
miles an hour, and she accepted him
by flagging his train to say "yes" to
his proposal.
Miss Elizabeth Moore, !>etter known
as Betty, lives in a pretty little house
standing up on the mountain side forty
miles above Parkersburg, W. Va. The
Baltimore and Ohio runs past her
house. ,
One day the Royal Blue was stalled
there, and she went out to look at it
SHE WAS WAVING A BED PETTICOAT.
She saw Manson. He saw her. It was
a ease of love at first sight After that
both spent their days waiting for the
thirty-eight or forty seconds' glimpse
of each other and for the flutter of a
handkerchief or the wave of a hand.
Their love grew at as fast a pace as :
that of Manson's train, and he soon
came to the "popping point" but he
couldn't get a lay off to do the deed
properly. The Baltimore and Ohio was
short of firemen good enough to stoke
the Royal Blue.
Manson determined. upon a daring
scheme. He decided to propose at sixty
miles an hour. The note was writ
ten In bis room at ^arkersburg. That
day as the train whirled eastward
over the frost bound tracks Manson
leaned far out of the cab window, and
as he threw a kiss he hurled a package.
As the train plunged into the
woods Manson saw the girl spring
down from her little porch and knew
that his proposal would be received.
This is the note he wrote:
Dear Miss Moore?I am the fireman
who has been making love to yon for
months. I have tried to get off to call on
you. but they won't let me. I love you.
and this Is the only way I can find to tell
you. Will you be my wife? Please write
to me, and if you are willing to give me
the chance I will throw the engagement
ring from the engine, and If you don't
love me when I come to see you, which
will be as soon as I can get away, you
can return it. WILEY MANSON.
Then, with the usual sense of lovers,
he forgot to give any address.
The following day, on the return run,
Manson was nervous. He decided that
if she threw a kiss he would know that
all was well and if she did not he
would give up hope.
The train was late?nearly an hour?
because of a freight smashup, and
Barker, the engineer, was "hitting her
up" to make up the lost time. Manson
was as eager as Barker. As the train .
approached the trysting place at sixty
miles an hour, Barker, gazing ahead,
suddenly threw back his lever, jammed
on the emergency air brake, whistled
and, with a wild rocking, a grinding
jar, a shock that sent passengers
sprawling and caused a great smashing
of china in the dining car, and,
with a final quiver and another jar,
the train skidded, ground showers of
sparks from the rails, shivered again?
and stopped.
Ahead, dead in the center of the
track, stood a young girl, blushing, :
pretty, with brown hair flying and
eyes shining; she was waving a red
flannel petticoat
Before Barker could jump from his
oah and rpflch thg eirl Manson had
leaped and, running. ahead of the engine,
saw her. He jerked his cap from
his curly head and started to ask a
question. Visions of his sweetheart
saving him and his train from destruc- tlon
filled his mind. He saw himself
the center of a romance, but before he
could speak the girl, with a half frightened
look, pushed a note into his hand
and fled across the snow.
"What Is It?' demanded Barker.
Manson quickly jerked open the note,
and inside they read one word, "Yes."
Barker waved the passengers. and
porters, who bad jumped from the
sleepers and were running forward, to
go back and remarked, with much feeling
and gusto:
"Oh, h?-1!"
