Notwithstanding tnat jeamoerg is (
one of the smallest counties in the 1
State, its financial condition today is :
second to none. Our tax levy is only
three mills; we have good roads and
good schools, the county does not owe
a dollar, and there is a large surplus :
fe ' in the treasury, nearly enough to j
run the county this year without '
levying one cent of taxes. We doubt
very much if any county in the State .
H^v ' can make a similar showing. ,

Two negroes in Gaffney have been 1
IH sentenced to imprisonment for life J
for killing a white man with whom 1
r-- they were drinking and] carousing. .
Another illustration of the results of ]
bad company. A white man who !
will drink with negroes is a character J
whom they would do well to let alone. ]
I: Social equality in this respect can on- ]
[V ]y result in harm to the negro, and 1
the blacks should avoid as they would [
a pestilence white men of this stamp. ,

;^r bly during the recent session of the
district lodge, Knights of Pythias, in
this city. Every visitor with whom
I:- we conversed remarked that he had j
I v heard of Bamberg as a town of handsome
residences, so it seems that the ]
||;> town's reputation for fine houses has <
gone abroad. Is it not fair to pre- j
- sume that our reputation for poor ]
business houses has also been extend- \
?& ed? Of course the visitors were too i
Bp polite to mention such a thing, but 1
p . no doubt they had heard of Bam- \
jfe berg's poor record in this respect. ]
g|v' Some people may believe that this i
gp^- does not hurt a town, but it does. It 1
is time such a reproach was being reinoved.
Bps- v County Expenses Explained. 1
In the condensed statement pub- }
jjfc- fished last week of the expenses of 7
Bamberg county for the past year, J
||v? there was one item which is calculat- j
If 5 ed to produce a wrong impression. 1
Under th6 heading of miscellaneous '
p.-. there was charged about eight 1
iy- thousand dollars, making the exB|.1
penses for the year foot up nearly ;
?g|y $20,000. Now, $5,000 of this was to j
fe-- . repay a loan to the sinking fund,
and has no proper place in the ex- ,
penses of last year. True the money :
was paid out last year, but only be- 1
cause the county was in such good
T financial shape was the money rey
turned. Several years ago, when
the county was in debt, $5,000 was '
borrowed from the sinking fund 1
^ commission in order that all claims 1
against the county might be paid in
cash, and this amount has been ree,
borrowed every year since, and was !
- not finally paid back until last year.
So the total county expenses for last J
year were something like $14,000
instead of over $19,000 as published, 1
which is quite a difference. We are
glad that this is so, and we are also 1
glad to relieve any wrong impression
which may have been produced by \
publication of the figures.
OFFER $90,000 FOR CHURCH.
1|? Baltimore Negroes Buying Property j
in Once Fashionable Section. ]
Baltimore, Md., Feb. 26.?Ne- (
groes who have rapidly been locating ]
in what was once one of the fashion- 1
fc able sections of West Baltimore, thus
0 causing a rapid depreciation in real *
estate values in that vicinity, are now
trying to buy St. Peter's Protestant
Episcopal church, Druid Hill avenue
and Lanville street, one of the finest j
edifices in that part of town. '
A negro Methodist congregation
pr has offered $90,000 for the church 1
building, a spacious, whitestone .
structure. Members of the vestry 1
admit that one offer has been made
for the property. The negroes have
bought all the avaiiaoie property in
the neighborhood of the church, and j
most of the members of that congre- 1
gation who resided there have moved
^ - away. 1
Some time ago the negroes tried i
to buy a Lutheran church a few ]
blocks west of St. Peter's, and they ?
have recently built two fine church ?
edifices in the same vicinity. 1
People who go to church be enter- 3
tained seldom come away benefitted. 3
"She's no lady," scornfully declar- 1
ed a nursemaid in a Brooklyn family ,
where they kept five servants, referring
to her mistress: ' 'She wears an
apron around the house in the morn- <

Aself." To this crushing indictment
was added, after a pause: "And she <
hasn't had a bridge party since I've 1
been here." <

"TOM THUHB" DEAD.
Created a Sensation in London Fifty
Years Ago.
London, Feb. 28. - Richard Carnsey,
known as "Field Marshal Tom
rhumb," and who created a great
sensation at the Egyptian Hall, London,
fifty years ago, by his diminutive
stature, is dead at his home in
Somert, at the age of seventy-four
years.
When he appeared in London half
a century ago he followed close on
the much boomed appearance of the
American Tom Thumb, causing an
even- greater sensation than that
midget had caused. Afterward Carnsey
travelled all over Europe, his
perfectly formed figure being examined
by doctors everywhere. After
giving up exhibiting himself in public
he commenced farming and enjoyed
splendid health until a short time

Among the Animals.
A story is told of a Cherokee woman
who has married six times, and
has never gotten out of the animal
line. When she was a girl, she was
known as Miss Mollie Panther. She
married an Indian named Coon, and
when that gentleman was transferred
to the happy hunting grounds she
soon became Mrs. Fox. The Fox
did not last always, and when he entered
the last chase the widow married
a mild, placid man named Mule,
who never had any kick coming until
he harnessed up to draw his load
across the Great Divide. After a
period of mourning the widow again
entered the realms of matrimonial
bliss and became Mrs. Wolf, and
when his scalp went to the Great
Father, along with his corporeal remains,
she became the wife of a man

Girl's Odd Scheme to Get Money
For Musical Education.
PUTS TICKETS "ON THE CURB"
Miss Mirian Edwina Sells Chances on
Her Youth, Beauty and Voice to
Wall Street Brokers at $1 to $350
Per Chance.

of the number of this ticket.
Name
Address
If this number should be the
lucky one and all interests being
mutual, matrimony will be considered.
The form printed above is a lottery
ticket which is being sold in Wall
street by Miss Miriam Edwin a, who
thinks she can sing.
She is raffling herself for money to
obtain a musical education. She has
350 chances, and they range in price
from $1 to $350.
Miss Edwina has a high soprano
voice, and grand opera is her aim. She
says she has heard of all kinds of raffling
schemes for making money, and
she certainly wants to accumulate
enough to take her to Italji
Miss Edwina is beautiful. She is
only nineteen. She is svelte and graceful,
but the charm which she cherishes
most is her voice. Here is her own
story of how she came to raffle herself
in the hope of raising money for her
musical education:
"I have been trying to earn enough
money to complete my musical educa

tion, but it seems that it is impossible.
My father, who was once a United
States consul in Cuba, died three years
- - *--j? ?a.
ago, ana 1 nave naa iu ?upyuiL ui/ocu.
I tried stenography, and that Is how I
earned money * to study music for
awhile. Then I went on the stage. I
have had voice lessons here in New
York Xonr years, bnt I want two years
abroad. Of course that is necessary
for any one who has grand opera aspirations."
Miss Edwina has a letter from Gustav
Kerker in which he states his confidence
in the young woman's musical
future.
"It seems a shame for me to let my
voice go for nothing," she said, "when
there are so many rich men with more
money than they can use. And then
lots of people think I am attractive.
So as I have nothing else to raffle the
idea suddenly occurred to me that I
would raffle myself."
The enterprising young woman descended
upon Wall street with a
small valise in which she carries her
chances. Each ticket is numbered and
put in a sealed envelope.
When all the tickets are sold the
drawing will take place in some hall
to be engaged for the occasion. The
ticket holders, if they so desire, may
attend the raffle. Miss Edwina says
that she intends giving a concert before
the drawing, so that her friends
may hear her sing and judge of her
voice. That will be worth something
to each ticket holder, she thinks.
As to the man who may win she

Korean Students Cut Off Their Fingers
"Unable to get further aid from their
families, twenty-one Korean students
In Tokyo were without funds and in
danger of starvation. Their first appeal
to the government authorities at
Seoul having been unanswered, the
twenty-one met in their rooms and decided
to renew their appeal for aid in
a form which could not be overlooked.
Tliev agreed to cut off a finger from
the hand of each man, and these ghastly
proofs of their desperate circumstances
were forwarded to Seoul with
the second petition. They Informed the
government that each man would cut
off another finger if aid was not forthcoming
within three days and If that
failed to move the authorities arms
and legs will follow In quick succession.
