We hope those who have charge of
the matter have not become discouraged

Our editorials must be good, as
the daily SpartanburgHerald thought
one good enough to use in its editor-,
ial column without credit.?Bamberg

Thanks, old man. Take anything

is no robbery anyway, for we almost
took one of yours outright last week.
The Spartanburg Journal says
country newspaper editors should
& > ~ take more interest in writing editorials
and less in kicking a job press,
j||; e which a boy at a $1.25 a week could
I do as well. With an experience of
about twenty years or more in the
country newspaper business, we have
never been able to get hold of one of .
those $1.25 a week boys. If the
Journal has any up its way, we would ]
pfe be glad if they would send them
1$ down to us. Our contemporary talks
.foolishness, for it ought to know that
you can't hire a boy at any such 1
fc. price.
A Darlington jury gave a verdict ;
R? of $10,000 damages for the death of J
5 a young white man who was riding 1
en the top of a caboose of a freight I
gf" train. He was a passenger on the j
train, and should have been inside,
fe - where he would not have been hurt ,
when the car was derailed. The ver- 1
6 diet was a most outrageous one, and ]
^ it is surprising that it was not set j
E& aside by the presiding judge. We {
believe the railroads should beheld
to a strict accountability for their 1
E| acts, but they should be dealt justly j
with, and it seems clear that in this j
I; case the man's death was brought s
about by his own act. 1
Samples of alcohol made from saw- }
dust have been sent to the Depart*
ment of Agriculture from one of the ]
big sawmills where the work is be- ]
v ing done on a commercial scale; that j
pr*. is to say, a distilling plant has been

fc : barrels of alcohol daily, though no
figures are available as to the actual
r*!/'
cost of manufacture as compared
with wood alcohol or that from grain.
The interesting point about the sawH
dust alcohol is that it is not a wood
alcohol, having none of the properL:
ties of that fluid, but is an ethyl alcohol
that cannot be told from that
sfe; made from grain. The difference is
that the sawdust alcohol is made
after the sawdust has been treated
- with an acid, transforming it into
dextrose, and is then distilled in the
regular way. If the work can be
?V ' done at a profit, and the indications
from the work of the company point
to this being a fact, it will not only
make a valuable by-product out of
the sawdust that has heretofore been
an intolerable nuisance to the sawmills
but it will open up a way to
r make alcohol profitably from straw,
cane, corn stalks and almost any j
- other vegetable refuse.
A Trained Qoat. g
John S. Martin, of Lebanon, cer- \

me Dei I was transierreu tu uie j
and after another period replaced upton
the cow which had no horns. The
goat was not satisfied and a few
nights afterwards ran His horn in the 2
leather that held the bell, pulled it ?

on his own. The goat is supposed to t

Off the Track. J
The first morning the new teacher J
was at the village school he taught a c
lesson in mental arithmetic and gave
the following example: j
"If I had seven oranges and eleven 1
more are given me, then I give five r
of them to a friend, how many or- e
anges have I left?"
The new teacher could not understand
the puzzled expression of the t
children's faces or why he received c
no answer, but thinking they must t
be rather dull, repeated the question. ?
After a little silence a small hand j
was raised. c
"Well, little boy, how many are 1
left?" s
"Please sir," timidly replied the I
boy, "we always do our sums with a

ON SPEEDINQ EXPRESS.
Hother's Wish That Baby Be Native
American Not Gratified.
Detroit, April 4?While aMichigan
Central immigrant train was speed|
ing on its way to Windsor a baby boy
was born to Mrs. Mary Rosenbloom,
a Russian Jewish immigrant, on her
way to the United States.
The mother was anxious that the
child be born in the United States,
and the engineer put on full speed
at her request, but the stork took
matters in his own hands, and the
youngest member of the Rosenbloom
family will have to claim the Dominion
of Canada as the land of his nativity,
though he missed being born
under the Stars and Stripes by only
a few hours.
The little mite of humanity came
into existence near Tilbury, Canada.
One of the Michigan Central surgeons
had been notified in advance
and remained with the mother and
her child until the train arrived at
Windsor.
Members of the train crew contributed
overcoats and other parts
of the wardrobe to keep the newly
arrived passenger warm.
Thought It Was a Pig's Tail.
A young married couple on Main
street caused quite a commotion the
other night and aroused the whole
household. The young wife was
awakened by her better half grabbing
her hair and giving it a terrific
pull which made it appear that he
had either gone daft or had become
a second Blue Beard. She set up a
howl and called for help. Other
members of the family rushed to her
rescue, but before they could take
steps to release the grip the sleeping
spouse had on the good wife's hair he
awoke. He explained that he had
been chasing a pig; that the pig ran
in a hole and he grabbed him by the
tail and was pulling with all his

ing. It was a plausible explanation,
but it is said the young wife is not so
sure about it being a true one. She
has been having visions of Blue Beard
ever since the occurrence.?Reidsville
Review.
Where Man Would Be.
A Detroit woman said of the late
Gen. Russell A. Alger:
"In company with a half dozen
other women?a committee, in fact?
I once waited on Gen. Alger and
interest him in woman suffrage.
''He was interested. He admitted
the truth of many of our arguments;
but in the matter of supporting us
he would not go as far as we wanted
him to go.
"One of the ladies got, I am afraid,
a little over-excited. In her address
to the general she imputed to woman '
more virtues than any merely human
creature could possess. At the
height of her eloquence Gen. Alger,
:hluckling, interrupted her.
"He said he had once attended a J
voman suffrage meeting where the (
lady lecturer on the platform had
hoasted about wojnan just as this 1
lady was doing. The lecturer, he ,
>aid, ended a striking climax with ;
the question:
" 'Where would man be if it had !
lot been for woman?'
"She looked around the crowded J
lall. The silence was intense. She
raised her hand and cried again im- \
iressively:
" T repeat, where would man be
f it had not been for woman?' ,
"Then a coarse voice from the
rear replied:
" 'In Paradise, ma'am.'Washngton
Star. (
Complimented. j
A few weeks ago a Philadelphia ?
nan was in a North Carolina town of
rery few inhabitants. One day when
le was on the point of making a purchase
he discovered that he had ex- '
lausted his small change. The store- :
ceeper could not "break" the $10 1
lill offered him, and the northern 1
nan went out in the main street to i
>ee how he might solve the difficulty.
3e asked several persons, but no
>ne had the requisite amount for the 1
nil. At last an old, white-haired, 1
jeedy negro came along. In sheer (
iesperation the Philadelphia man 1
said:
"Uncle, can you change a $10 bill
:or me?" 1
"Uncle" looked dazed for the mo- 1
nent. Then his shambling figure i
straightened. With a doffing of the 1
lat and a bow worthy of Chesterfield,
le replied with dignity:
"No, marse, I can't change no $10
fill; but I done 'predates the complinent
jes'the same, sah."
Tillman Interviewed. <
Chattanooga, Tenn., April 4.?In
in interview with the Chattanooga J
5tar Senator Ben Tillman said: .
"I attach no importance whatever .
;o Roosevelt's denial of Harriman's
:harges. He has more than once J
>een proven wrong after having j
nade such strong statements. A :
:ase in point is the instance when
dr. Chandler showed up the presi- lent
for falsely accusing him.
"Tt ic most. mnrtifvincr to ha VP a
resident who will indulge in such c
ow-down political brawls, and still I
nore so to know that his statements

Union Meeting.
The union meeting of the second
division of the Barnwell Baptist Association
met with Colston Branch
church on Saturday befyre the 5th
Sunday in March, 1907, and was
opened with prayer by Bro. J. M.
Zeigler.
The introductory sermon was
preached by Rev. W. G. Britton,
after which the union was called to
order by the moderator, Bro. J. B.
Hunter. The names of the churches
were then called and the delegates
enrolled. The union now being organized,
it was unanimously agreed
that Rev. W. G. Britton, the colporter
of the association, be allowed
to present the claims of his books,
which he ably did in a short address.
The usual committees were then ap

poinieu, anuIt was muvcu oiiu lauicu
that we adjourn one hour for dinner.
After partaking of a regular picnic
dinner, which was served by the Colston
Branch sisters, we returned to
the church, and after a song by the
choir and prayer by Rev. W. G. Britton,
the union was called to order by
the moderator and the program of
the union was taken up.
The first topic, "The church in
evangelism," was taken up and very
ably discussed by Revs. H. J. Snider
and W. G. Britton, Joe B. Gillam, J.
C. McMillan, and W. H. Collins. It
was unanimously agreed that we pass
this topic over and take up the next
on the program. Topic No. 2, "Our
deficiencies in missions," was taken
up and very intelligently discussed
by Rev. W. G. Britton, J. B. All, Joe
B. Gillam, and Rev. H. J. Snider.
Moved and carried that we pass this
topic over.
Committee on time and place made
its report, which was adopted. Place:

5th Sunday in June, 1907.

Panama Canal?Erie Canal.
Machinery is digging tbe Panama canal
a thousand times quicker than the shovel
dug tbe Erie. Machinery produces the
L. & M. paint at 50 times less cost for
labor, than if made by band. Tbe L. &
M. gives tbe best job in tbe world, because
L & M. zinc hardens L & M. white
lead and makes L. & M. paint wear like '
iron for 10 to 15 years. It only requires
4 gallons of this celebrated paint and 3
gallons of linseed oil at 60 cents per
gallon, to paint a moderate sized bouse.
If any defect exists in L. & M. paint will

Carlos C. Parler, who was charged
with the killing of William J. Harley
at Harleyville, Dorchester county, ;
some months ago was acquitted in
the court of general sessions at St.
Georges. The case has created con- ;
siderable interest on account of the
circumstances surrounding the kill- i
ing and during the progress of the
trial the court room was filled to
overflowing. The verdict of the
jury is universally approved through- 1
out the county, as Harley was shot ;
while he was attempted to forcibly (
