The colored Methodist churcKTWw has electric lights. ^ The ice men are doing a rushing business these hot days. The latest news from Bishop Capers is that he is some better but not out of danger yet. Mr. S. W. Johnson is rebuilding his sample rooms in rear of his hotel. The building is of brick. The voting contests at the soda fountains are creating much interest among the young people. H. M. Graham, real estate agent, has for sale stock in the oil mill to the amount of $26,500. See him if you want to buy some. Dr. J. P.

Aiken Journal and Reveiw. Adam Boatwright, a colored man who lives on Mr. E. C. Brace's plantation just across Lemon Swamp, brought us a cotton blossom last Saturday afternoon. Boatwright says he had blossoms on the Monday before. The ladies wish bids for the wooden fence around the old cemetep\ It will be sold cheap. It is a nice fon/tA onH mnph of it is in [/iva^v xviiW) ?M*vk w* - ? ? good condition. Bids may be filed with Mrs. J. D. Copeland or Miss Carrie Bamberg. Mayor Hair believes in putting heavy fines on offenders who come before him. He is right, too. Heavy fines laid on those who violate the law will do much towards preventing a repetition of the offenses. A fellow is apt to remember it when a heavy fine is put on him, and he will not be so quick to transgress again. Through the good work of Mrs. J.' D. Copeland and Miss Carrie Bamberg, a handsome iron fence has been purchased for the old cemetery. The money for this purpose was subscribed by those who have their dead buried there. The Masonic lodge also contributed $15.00 to the fund, 1 "? 1 :i i ma possiDiy ouier citizens suuscriueu as well. The fence has arrived, and will be placed in position at once. Death of Mr. P. W. Sandifer. Mr. P. W. Sandifer, one of the nost substantial citizens of Bamberg iounty and a prominent farmer of this community, died at his home a cew miles from town last Thursday norning, after a short illness. Mr. Sandifer suffered a stroke of paralysis a year or more ago, and had not >een in good health since. However, with indomitable energy, he went about his affairs as usual and kept ?oing until he had another stroke only a few days before his death. The funeral services and burial took place Friday morning at Springtown church, of which Mr. Sandifer had been a member for a number of years. Rev. A. J. Foster, pastor of the Bamberg Baptist church, conducted the services, assisted by Rev. Peter Stokes, pastor of the Methodist church here. The funeral was largely attended by the friends and relatives of the family. The pall-bearers were: Jno. H. CoDe. J. A. Byrd, J. W. Hill, D. J. E)elk, J. F. Jones, and E. C. Bruce. Mr. Sandifer leaves a widow and nine children, among whom are Messrs. J. C. Sandifer, .of Augusta, and S. W. Sandifer, of this community. There are four sons and five daughters. Mr. Sandifer was fifty-three years old, and was born and reared in this section. His was a quiet, unassuming character, He worked hard and attended strictly to his own business. By his sound business judgment had accumulated a valuable property. As a progressive farmer, sound business man, and substantial citizen, he was well and favorably known throughout the county, and his many warm friends will learn with regret of his death. He has left a priceless heritage to his children, for a good name is rather to be desired than great riches. m^^HHHp^mHppim^Rind ^^^^^enuernan in Bamberg. T ^^The voting is still going on. Moye's ' fount is still doing the biggest thing | in the way of a voting contest that ! has ever been known here in Bamberg. The total votes cast up until this week makes a stupendous list, and the favorites are still running at a break neck speed, It looks now as if anybody will win, for there are several who are getting there by bounds and by leaps. Who do you think is the most popular young lady in Bamberg? Well, at anv rate you think some one is, and why not show your thoughts in this way? Handsome prizes are being offered. For the most popular young lady there is a prize; for the second place in the contest there is another prize, and then there is a prize to be given for the young man receiving the highest number of votes.

Sheriff Bamberg County. Bamberg, S. C., June 5,1907. r . - . I J k ( k EAGER TO WORK, NO GRAFTER. 8uccsssful Result of Man's Novo Scheme to Secure Employment. H. W. Leonard has found a job! This Is not a matter of serious hn port to the great, hustling public, wrapped in its own selfish interests, but it is of much concern to the crowd that frequents Park row, New York, and particularly to a certain unknown, middle aged couple, says the New York Globe. For several days a tall, poorly dressed but well set-up man stood in Park row where every man and woman par ucipanng in me two oany tsrooxiyn bridge rushes could see him. Suspended by a cord about his neck was a white placard two feet square bear- ; !ng the following in crudely executed lettering: 4 * I WANT WORK. NO GRAFTER. NO APOLOGIES. * 4 Scores of sympathetic pedestrians stopped and talked with him. To eacli questioner he would say: "My name is H. W. Leonard. I came from Cincinnati five months ago. 1 am not educated, but I am honest, and ftWANTm I 1 i NOG RAFTER m M no/movesm H. W. LBONABD. [Seeking Work.] I can work. I am not a mechanic. 1 have no trade, but 1 have my health and must support myself. I lost a place because my hands were injured In a gas explosion. 1 am well again and want a job. I propose to stand here until the right man comes along." He waited two days. As usual, he stood by the bridge the other morning displaying his placarded appeal. From the jostling thousands there emerged a middle1 aged man and woman. They stopped in front of Leonard. He bowed. "Have you got a job down your way for an ablebodled man?" he asked. The unknown man asked a question which parted Leonard's lips into a double dental grin. "Are you sure you want me? Thank God! I knew it would come!" he was heard to say. The reply of the couple was lost in the clatter of the street In an instant Leonard had removed the placard from his neck, folded it under his arm and trudged down Nassau street after the man and woman. HUGE FLOATING DRYDOCK. Remarkable Features of Valuable Acquisition to British Navy. In a few weeks there will be launched from a shipyard In Sunderland, England, where she has been converted from a liner, a unique vessel which will be a valuable acquisition to the British navy. H. M. S. Cyclops is the most complete repair ship or floating dockyard in the world and is the outcome of an experiment made some time ago, when an old cruiser was converted into a repair ship at Portsmouth and named Vulcan, says the London Chronicle. The Cyclops is a vessel of 11,000 tons, and her dimensions are: Length, i 460 feet; breadth, 55 feet; depth, 40 J feet. The lowest deck is fitted up as a complete foundry, with cupolas where J castings can be made to replace dam- i aged parts. Above is a boiler shop, 1 where boiler or ship plates can be fully 1 ??-* " vi J dealt wito. runciiuig nuu ouraim6 machines are there just as In a ship- , yard.

A large ice breaking plant is carried and a set of gigantic condensers cap* ble of supplying a whole fleet with fresh water. A fully equipped elec- / trlcity generating plant Is one of the ] vessel's most remarkable features. The Cyclops will have a full complement ; of about 300 men, mainly artificers. ! Church Built In Volcano. It seems like carrying the Word to ' the very gates of the infernal regions ! to build a church in a volcano, bnt ' this is about what has been done on the island of Maui, writes a Honolulu (Hawaii) correspondent of the New York Herald. High on the slopes of Haloakala, the world's most gigantic crater, there rests a tiny little church built by the Episcopalians of Maul The church is about 4,0(90 feet up the mountain side. Bishop Restarick, the prelate for these Islands, officiated at the opening of the church, but he was unfortunately unable to dedicate, for the church is not yet free from debt ;' ' v v - ?????????? ?????? . .
