. Our citizens ought to take some
steps to get another railroad. No
l| doubt the Atlantic Coast Line could
2*/ be induced to extend the Ehrhardt
IpV line to Bamberg if the matter was
jft properly put before them. Why not
If *?it1
If v- Our citizens are in favor of a high
Rr; school department at our graded
jj^V school, and they want another year
jggr added to the course so that they can
S|f keep their boys and girls at home one
jg? year more. Let the election on the
' question be held.
Is it not time some steps were
g? being taken for the high school? We
should add another year to the course
|| at the graded school and hold the
& election for a high school department.
Let us get to work at once,
|l': so that the matter can be in shape
g in time for the fall session.
| The growth and prosperity of Bam|
berg will be given a great impetus
& by adding a tenth grade to the graded
school course and establishing a
t? high school department. We can do
it and we ought to do it. We hope
; those in charge of affairs will start
to work on the proposition.
The newspaper men will take Chart
leston and the Isle of Palms this week,
' where for a few days they will forV
v get the delinquent subscriber and all
their other troubles as they enjoy
ri the good things prepared for them
by Elder Hemphill, Billy Ball, Tom
| Waring, and the other good fellows
up of Charleston.
We have heard that the county
supervisor is thinking of ordering
I , the dispensary election for some time
In September. Now we have no desire
| to suggest any time for holding this
election, this being entirely within
! the discretion of the supervisor, but
several person have expressed themselves
that September will be such a
busy time that a light vote will likely
' be polled, and little interest taken.
Another railroad to Bamberg would
: do much for our growth and pros'
perity, and we believe the Atlantic
| Coast Line Could be induced to extend
its road from Ehrhardt to this place.
. The scheme is worth a trial anyway,
so let our business men take up
the matter in earnest. Won't some;
body take the initiative? This seems
* to us the best solution of the transportation
question, and we at least
ought to try to better existing con|
ditions.
If a few more counties had grand
juries like Richland, the courts
would have to go out of business.

farcical proceedings in the name of
justice.

Mary's Other Lamb.
Mary had a little lamb; its fleece
was white as snow; it strayed away
one day, where lambs should never
go. And Mary sat her quickly down
and tears streamed from her eyes;
she never found the lamb because
she did not advertise. And Mary had
a brother John who kept a village
5? store; he sat him down and smoked ?
pipe and watched the open door.
p) And as the people passed along anc
did not stop to buy, John still sat anc
smoked his pipe and blinked a sleep}
eye. And so the sheriff closed hirr
out, but still he lingered near, anc
Mary came to drop with him a sym
fe ... pathetic tear. How is it sister, car
you tell, why other merchants here:
sell all their goods so readily anc
'fl thrive from year to year. Remember
i ing her own bad luck the little maic
replies: "These fellows 'get there
John, because they advertise."

Preferred the Baby's |Voice.
A New York scientist, the father
of a large and growing family, has
his troubles. One evening his youngest
was holding forth in her best
style. The mother could do nothing
writh the child, so the man of science
went to the rescue.
"I think I can quiet little Flora,"
he said. "There's no use humming
to her in that silly way. What she
wants is real music. The fact that I
used to sing in the glee club at Yale,
and sang well, too, may make a difference."
Accordingly, the professor took
the child and, striding up and down
I the room, sang in his best manner.
He had not finished the second verse
of his song, when a ring was heard.
The door was opened, and there
stood a girl of 14, and said:
"I'm one of the family that's just
moved into the flat next to yours.
There's a sick person with us, and
he says, if it is all the same to you,
would you mind letting the baby cry
instead of singing to it?"?Success.
The Dance in Kansas.
"We attended the fine dance given
by the local lodge of Sons and Daughters
of Sunlight last night," says the
Paw Paw Bazoo, "and we had a nice
time stepping around the hall with a
lady or two hugged to our manly
breast. It was a delightful ball no
doubt, but where is there anything in
the world that cannot be criticised?
Now, last night it might have been
better had the boys in the band been
less full of tanglefoot than they were.
We don't care what you say, no bass
horn player can grunt pleasant music
on his horn when he's got a load bf Ed
RramW's rve under his belt and no
bass drummer can keep good time for
circling about with your lady when
he's so loaded he can't hit the drum.
Of course, there are no personalities
in this, but let us suggest that the flute
players put the right end of the flutes
in their mouths hereafter, lest they
spoil the tunes, as they did last night,
unofficially. The snare drummer was
fine, he having lost his drum when
half drunk, and the two cornetists
. certainly smeared glory all over themi
selves, being indeed almost sober, yet
, insidiously in need of practice, The
alto horn was fine, but it is rather obstreperous
to try to dance to the ump
pah pah music of an alto when the
other horns are constantly interfering
with bad notes. However, the
dance was fine, even though Hump
Brisby did fall on his sitting posture
in one two-step with his slippery feet,
making Henry Gaines laugh too loud
for a gentleman. Another thing, why
does George Devlin spit on the floor
at a ball; does anyone know? These,
outside of the drunken fight between
Hep Leslie and Martin Hart, which
waIUAM triln AVA]
uruugui uil 11UU1JT iauici vut tAvmmation
from them, were all that could
be criticised at the dance. It certainly
was a fine affair and society was there
and wrestled each other around with
smiling faces. Let us repeat it soon.''
?Denver Post.
He Drew the Line.
Arthur Herkimer, the Missouri
historian, told at a dinner in St.
, Louis a story about the famous governor,
Clairborne F. Jackson.
"Jackson," he said, "married, one
after another, five sisters. The thing
is incredible, but it is a fact.
"When for the fifth time Claiborne
Jackson broached a marital proposition
to his father-in-law the old
man was eighty and quite deaf This
is the conversation that ensued.
" T want Lizzie.'
" 'Hey?'
" 'I want you to give me Elizabeth.'
" 'Oh, you want me to give you
Elizabeth, do you? What for?'
" 'For my wife.'
" 'For your wife?'
" 'I?want?to?marry?Lizzie.'
" 'Oh, yes, I hear you. You needn't
rouse the neighborhood.'
" 'Well do you consent?'
" 'Yps T eon sen t. ' said the old man.
He shook his head and added slowly:
" 'Yes,-you can have her. You've
got 'em all now, my boy. But for
goodness sake if any thing happens
to that poor misguided girl, don't
come back here and ask me for the
old woman.' "?Washington Star,

| KILL MEJT TIME,
j So Says Nonchalant Alleged
Murderer to Officers.
COLD BLOODED CONFESSION.
Charles H. Rogers Tells How For $16
He Killed the Olney Brothers and
Alice Ingerick of Middletown, N. Y.
Conscience Untroubled.
"Take me out and kill me any time
you please," said Charles II. Rogers,
alleged murderer of the Olney brothers
and Alice Ingerick of Middletown.
V Y when he was locked uu in the
Goshen jail. Rogers was captured in
Los Angeles after a chase lasting a
year. On his way across the country
he made to his custodians a confession
which chilled their blood.
"I had been planning this act for a
month," said Rogers to his captors. "I
thought the Olney brothers had a good
deal of money in bills about fh ' nothing
and concealed in the x-ouse. I
wanted to go west and get away from
here. At first I thought night was the
best time to do it Then I calculated
it was best to do it in daylight, for the
farm is a lonely enough place.
"On the day of the murders I left
home. I told my wife and children
they would never see me again. I took
with me a piece of iron pipe wrapped
in a copy of the Middletown TimesPress.
I had a revolver. I went cross
lots to avoid passing by the home of
my parents. From a hill I saw Fred
Olney drive into the ward. He had
"WHEN WILLIS CAME INTO SIGHT I SHOT
HIM TOO." '
been to the Ogden farm to deliver his
milk. I thought of course he had been
paid in cash for that and that it would
be so much more money for me.
"I walked down to the place and
told Olney'I was a detective and needed
his help and that of his brother in
capturing a man who had hidden in the
Derby woods. He called Willis Olney,
and we three went In their milk wagon
to the edge of the woods. Fred Olney
and I went into the woods together;
leaving Willis with the team. After
going in some distance. I shot Fred Olney
in the back. He fell dead.
"Willis heard the shot and came
smashing through the bushes to see
what was the matter. When Willis
came into sight I shot him too. I
searched their pockets. I took a pocketbook
from Fred Olney. There was
very little money in it It contained
only a check for the milk he had delivered
at Ogden's that day and some papers.
I took Fred's watch and Willis'.
"I took the money, ma tne papers
that were in the wallet in a chink in
the stone wall, near which the horse
had been left. I left the horse stand
there. Then I walked to Olney's house
and met Mrs. Ingerick. I told her that
one of the Olneys had been kicked by
the horse and was hurt. She went to
the barn to get something for him. I
followed. As she nfrent into the cow
stable I struck her on the bead with
the piece of gas pipe. She fell down,
and I beat her over the bead many
times with the pipe. I thought she was
dead when I left her.
First I covered her body with straw,
and then I went up to the house. There
I met Alice Ingerick, nine years old,
Mrs. Ingerlck's daughter. I told her
to go down in the cellar and close the
door. As she started down the cellar
stairs I hit her on the head with the
gas pipe. She fell downstairs. 1 followed
her and pounded her over the
head until I felt sure she was dead.
"Thinking they were now all dead,"
Rogers continued, "I went up and
searched the house for the money. I
didn't find any. All I had for these
four lives I thought I had taken was
$16 and two watches. Maybe there
was more money hidden there, but I
was scared off from looking for more.
Mr. Conklin, a farmer from Wurtsboro,
and his son drove up. They were out
buying onions. They shouted 'Onion!'
I was In the attic at that time. I kept
still, and the Conklins, thinking nobody
was at home, went on. I looked
out and saw them in the road going
away. I didn't want to stay longer. I
went over the hills to the hogback."
The hogback is a part of the Erie
railroad between Middletown and Howells.
There Rogers boarded a train
for Otisville. He stayed there that
night. Next morning he threw away
the revolver in a stream and took a
train for Port Jervis. He took one of
j the silver watches to a saloon In Port
- \ A'y : / , " '4
Jervis and asked the man behind the
bar to buy it Rogers thought it ought
to fetch $15. The saloon keeper gave
him $4 and then told him to get out.
for lie believed Rogers had stolen it.
Fearing to dispose cf the other watch.
Rogers bought a ticket for Huntington.
Ind., which was as far as his
cash would take him.
There he found a job as farm laborer
and stayed for some time. lie came
across a Chicago matrimonial advertising
journal in this place. In it was
a notice that a well to do widow was
willing to take most anybody for a
husband. Rogers answered it and
played "come on" to the swindlers behind
the advertisement. He had saved
a little money to carry him farther
west. He went to Chicago to meet
the widow. "How about that widow?"
asked Hock in drawing out the prisoner's
story.
"Say," grinned Rogers, "if you had
seen her. Goshen jail Is better than
being married to that"
Fleeced of his last penny, Rogers
walked the streets of Chicago. A placard
caught his eye: "Men wanted with
knowledge of farming and gardening.
Free passage to California. Steady
work; good wages." It was a recruiting
agent's effort to find competent labor
for the immense experimental farm
of Luther Burbank, the wizard of horticulture
and pomology, who invents
new plants and new fruits as Edison
Invents new motors and new lights.
Rogers found his job there and was
sent at Burbank's expense to California.
There his conscience never troubled
him.
"I forgot all about what had happened
back home," he told the officers.
"I never thought about it."
CAUGHT "LITTLE DOROTHY."
Chicago Polica Followed Her Mamma's
Instructions.
INOl m vain am nans, r ltru. jjtvi ui
Columbus, O., appeal to the police of
Chicago, and if the distracted mother
did not accomplish what she thought
she would certainly it was not the
fault of the detectives who responded
to her call. Her appeal came In the
following message, received in police
headquarters:
Police?Please intercept my little daughter
Dorothy, who has gone to Chicago to
get married. She Is pretty, with lots of
red hair.
In response to the message three detectives
were hurried to meet an incoming
train from Columbus, and the
sleuths, mindful of the agony which
the. mother} must be suffering, determined
to let no little red haired girl
slip past them. They eyed suspiciously
every passenger on the train, but
when the last one had alighted no little
Dorothy had appeared.
The detectives were about to leave
the station when they saw a tall, handsomely
gowned woman sitting on one
of the benches. They recognized her
as having been on the train, and one
of the detectives said to her:
"Pardon me. madam, but did you see
any little red haired girl get on the
train at Columbus?"
The woman eyed the detective as if
she suspected he was insane, and she
replied that she had not seen any girl
answering that description.
"I am a police officer," the detective
said, "and I'm looking for a girl named
Dorothy Levi Her mother Is nearly
dead with grief because she left
home."
The woman jumped up from her seat
evidently surprised. ' .
"Why, I am Dorothy Levi of Columbus,"
she said.
"Then you'll oblige us by coming to
headquarters," said the detective. "We
want yott."
"How dare you ask mfe to go with
you?" the woman said indignantly.
"MAMMA MUST BE HA VINO A BRAIN STORM."
"By what authority do you tell me
where to go? I am old enough to take
care of myself, and I have not committed
any crime."
The detective showed the woman her
mother's telegram, and she went to
headquarters.
' "Mamma must be having a brain
storm," she said to the sergeant. "I
am twenty-eight years old, and I am
on my way to Colorado Springs for my
health. I would not marry the best
man living."
Miss Levi made affidavit to her age,
and the sergeant told her she could go
where she pleased.
"We thought we were helping a poor
mother whose child had run away," he
said apologetically. "I would suggest
that you wire your mother that hereafter
when she wants the police to look
for her 'little Dorothy' she mention
that Dorothy Is unusually tall for her
age."
Miss Levi took the next train for
Colorado Springs.
