Thursday, July 18,1907 Senator Tillman says that South Carolina people are going to have prohibition because they are disgusted with the county dispensary law. The Senator is of the opinion that the stealing has been too much ? scattered under the new law. fFew people look at it that way, but the man who plows into the public road does more for the discomfort of the traveling public than he could possibly do any other way. Some of the best roads in the county are being practically ruined by plowmen, anci it high time' the practice was stopped. No favors should be shown any man guilty, no matter who he fis, but the full penalty of the law should be imposed. It will never be stopped until the authorities come down with a heavy hand on all vio||K -S lators of the law. The good to be derived from an organization of farmers and business * men for the purpose of having some g voice in saying at what price cotton | shall be sold is so self-evident that we see no need to discuss it. But the matter rests with the farmers. If | they are willing to continue to be ; slaves, we can't help it. The Bamberg county association will amount to something if those directly interested in the price of cotton will give it .S it their support and co-operation. tBut unless our farmers take an interest in it, nothing can be done. The matter is up for settlement now. Shal1 the organization be a success or failure? The answer to this question rests with them. In commenting on our editorial as * to a railroad from this place to Ehr| :o hardt, the Walterboro Press and ||| - Standard says: "We echo these sentiments, and we recommend this pro1 posed road to the consideration of pur business men. A railroad connecting with the main line would be of great value to Walterboro as well & as to Bamberg. Let us go to work." If the business men of Bamberg will take up this railroad matter in earnest, with the determination to , accomplish results, we feel sure that substantial aid will be rendered by the citizens of Walterboro and the ,v road will be built. The people of that section are very anxious for this connection. We can build the road if | we will. ?> r. We trust there will be a large attendance at the cotton association meeting here the first Monday in August. The editor of this paper will do all in his power to make the organization a success, but our efforts will amount to less than nothing if we _ i _. do not nave tne support ana co-operation of our farmers and business men. We must organize if we expect to have anything to say about the price of cotton. A warehouse ought to be built, and we can do it without any trouble or burden on anybody if we will only try. Shall we not try at least? We feel sure the meeting willbe interesting and profitable to all who attend. If you have not already joined, come and do so. If your name is on the old list, have it enrolled again, as this is a reorganization. A prominent farmer of this county asked us a few days ago to say something about the practice of plowing into the public roads. We asked him why he did not prosecute those who were guilty of this sort of thing, and he very rightly said that he hated to prosecute his neighbors. His position is correct, and we cheerfully bring the matter to the attention of our officials. The habit of plowing into the public roads is a most reprehensible one, and it will not be stopped until some parties are taken up and heavily fined. Make an example of .a few violators of the law and the practice will stop. We trust our supervisor will go after the ones who want to cultivate the public roads of the county and that at once. Mild measures will do no good, but a few heavy fines will stop it. Union county i? to have a special term of criminal court, commencing Monday, July 29th. When the two additional circuits were formed, the promise was made that this would stop these special terms, but we notice they still continue. But the politicians tell the boys to plow on, all's well, and the taxpayers foot the bills. How long, oh how long will the people put up with extravagance in public matters? CARLISLE FITTING SCHOOL. Military Feature Added and Standard r\t tha CrlinAl Daicpil VI UKW i^VHWi I\MIW ?>? Editor Bamberg Herald:?-I should | like sufficient space in the Herald ! to call the attention of your readers j to some changes that have been made | in the Carlisle Fitting School. While these changes are anounced in our jlatest catalog, there are a great [many friends and patrons of the | school whom we do not know personally, therefore cannot reach them by [ that means. So we seek to inform | them through your valued paper. | The most radical departure from the former way in which the school ; has been managed, isthe institutionof the military feature. While presumI ably militarism does not appeal to a great many educators, yet^all agree that many benefits are to be derived from military disipline. I hope I shall be pardoned for quoting from our announcement which says: "It tends to muscular development and physical well-being by an enforced regularity In food, sleep ana exercise. It creates habits of promptitude, order, disipline and subordination. It promotes self-reliance and personal character by removing all social distinctions, and puts each student upon his own personal responsibility.'' So then, we desire to assure our friends that the important change has been made, not to encourage militarism, but simply as a means to an end?its disciplinary value. Another, and I think, the most helpful change to the patrons of the school, is the raising of the standard. Heretofore, for the past several years at least, the school has been largely in competition with the graded and high schools of this section. One could not be blamed for patronizing the public schools, when almost the same grade of work was being done here. The course of study as outlined now, and which will be faithfully carried out, is commensurate with the demands of the times. We commend this feature to the earnest consideration of prospective patrons. I might mention that as a matter of course, the dress for students will be uniform, though the young ladies will not be required to conform to this requirement so far as their every day dress is concerned. Girls like variety, and should have some opportunity for individual taste, while uniform dress on special occasions will obviate expensive rivalry. I "think we hardly realize some times what an important factor the Carlisle Fitting School is in the good reputation and even material prosperity of the town. Thousands of Carolinians, and many even beyond the borders of the State, talk familiarly of Bamberg, chiefly because of this institution. And it is not a small thing for six or seven thousand dollars to be brought here by the students each year. I cannot close this statement without expressing to the patrons of the school, and especially to the people of Bamberg, my appreciation of their forbearance with us in our shortcomings and their interest and sympathetic support generally. I pledge the best and most loyal endeavors I am capable of making, for the highest interest of the boys and girls of this community. So my appeal is: Bury the hammer. Don't knock. Let's all pull together. The privilege of sharing in the great work of manmaking is the highest form of divine blessing. But I must desist before our genial editor, provoked by the length of this article and hot weather, shall charge me full advertising rates. W. S. Hogan. Bamberg, July 12,1907. Stop the Clock. Two men were talking together in the rear of a saloon, and the question * " * n?> lAl 01 iMJCKiener s watiui cdmc uu. v^xic of them said, to show the enormous income of the man: "Say, do you know whenever that clock (pointing to a grand-father's clock in the room) goes tick, Rockefeller makes a thousand dollars?" "Is that so?" "That's a fact." "Then stop the clock." The Point of View. "You can't get in here on a halfticket," exclaimed the doorkeeper at the circus. "I thought I could," apologized a small-town citizen. "J have a bad eye, and I only expected to see half of the show." "Then you'll have to get two tick ets," said the doorkeeper. "If you only have one eye it'll take you twice as long to see the show." Never forget that you are a part of the town, and that your own deportment helps to make up the stranger's estimate of the place. Sell all you can and buy all you can at home. Every dollar that is sent or carried away from home makes the town that much poorer. If you have the means invest in some thing that will give somebody employment. Do not kick at a proposed improvement simply because it is not at your door. O Q A L@i??i li GivSigo By CECILIA A. LOIZEAUX. Co) might ed. !' ">?, bg P. C. Eastmciit. O 0 "Of course I like you to be sympathetic and generous?it's all a part of you. But I do -wish you could be made to see the evils of such recklessly indiscriminate giving," said Howard. They had just passed a one armed beggar, who had stepped in front of I tt,;+h hie mnnntonous whine for illtrui n uu mo coins. Howard, after a sharp glance, had said curtly, "Stand aside!" had brushed away the extended hand and taken Beth's arm to guide her past. But with an exclamation of pity the girl had turned back to empty into the man's hand all the change in her little gold mesh purse. "My giving is not indiscriminate. That man was maimed?he had only one arm?and the ether one was trembling from palsy or weakness," answered Beth, with some heat "" *? *- ? ?;a from. "My a ear, inai uiau? uauu .o bling from drink, and as likely as not he has another arm under his coat. You don't realize what frauds these professional beggars are. Can't you see, Beth, that it's the principle of the thing that is wrong? The money you give so carelessly migbt better be used for people who really need it, and you seldom find that kind begging on the streets." They had reached Beth's home by this time, and, as usual, Howard went in with her for the afternoon tea Beth always made by the living room fire. When they entered the house the subject was not continued, though they both felt dissatisfied. Beth busied herself at the little table silently. There was an angry light in her eyes. She resented Howard's interference in such things, and she told herself that Howard was not quite what she had thought him. Howard was about to go when the front door opened and shut, and Beth's Uncle John, with whom she had lived since the death of her parents, came in and went up the stairs to his room. Howard settled back into his chair, for he liked Beth's uncle, who was a jolly old man. But Beth looked unaccountably nervous, rattled the tea things and rang the bell for more hot water. She jumped guiltily as an irate voice from upstairs called, "Beth!" "Yes, uncle, what is it?' she called back, going to the foot of the stairs. "What have you done with my gray smoking jacket and those black slippers? I can't find them anywhere, and I left them right here on the floor. I wish Mary wouldn't have cleaning up streaks." Beth darted a queer glance at Howard and then ran up the stairs. She spoke so softly that Howard could not 1 ?ooi/l hut h#?r nnole's Utf&L vvuai ouc ouiU) i/uv _? ? voice was far reaching, and the young man listened shamelessly, for he guessed what was the matter. Now he grinned silently to himself as the one sided conversation went on. "What the deuce!" he was fairly roaring. "That jacket is the only one I've ever had that's any good. And I look like a peeled onion in that purple thing, and you know it" There was a silence. Then the voice in somewhat softer tones went on. "Well, if you can't rest unless you're giving things away and my things are attractive to you, you just make It a point to ask me what I can get along withoftt Well, then, give me my old slippers." Another silence. "Do you mean to tell me that you gave away that pair of slippers that I've been breaking in for a year and just got adjusted to my feet? By George! Who got thoseV* Silence. "Well, he didn't need them as bad as I do. He couldn't feed my smoking jacket to a starving baby, and those slippers will fit his sick wife to perfection, I suppose. What else did you give him ?" Another silence?then a snort "There! That's enough! Don't tell me too much at once! I'm liable to get mad!" When he heard Beth's heel taps on the stairs Howard strolled to the farthest window and turned innocently around to speak to Beth as If nothing had happened. Her face was red and her eyes wet. "Uncle's cross tonight" she said airily. "I?he acts as If he had lost something." She did not speak again, but began to make fresh tea, and in a minute or two her uncle appeared in A% ~ m ? ? TIa /vn fi nnimla oUt IH6 doorway. nc uau vu a puiyiw d4?b jacket and a purple cap stuck Jauntily over one ear on his bald head. "Look like the shah's butler, don't I?" the elder man said as he carefully lowered his heavy figure into his easy chair and stuck his feet out before him. "Your turn will come. You'll live to see your best shoes tripping down the street, and you'll meet your hats and coats and trousers strolling about the city until you won't know whether you're dreaming or whether there are I -Hx.*o of von." Harvey was a little uneasy. He looked at Beth and smiled, and she looked back coldly, thinking that she read "I told you so" in his face. She disappeared when she had given her uncle his tea and did not come down again until Howard was gone and dinner was ready. The next morning Beth spent in overhauling all her clothes, piling into a great heap on the floor everything that she did not like or was a little soiled. And on the top she put the spring suit that Howard liked so much. It was a little dirty around the edge of the skirt, though that was not why she added it to the pile. "Thafs mine at any rate," she said ' ) ' ' to herself as she gathered the garments Into her arms and carried their, to the basement, where she bestowed them all upon the new laundress. That woman left in a hurry l>cfore her day's work was done, fearing that Beth would change her mind. Two days later Ilowar l started up to Beth's a his car to take her out foi a long drive, as arranged with her over the phone. What was his nnia*:ement, therefore, as he drove slowly through the downtown streets to see Beth in her gray walking suit and toque just disappearing around a corner. He called to her. but she did not hear, and the young fellow stopped the machine. With set chin and tightened lips and hurt eyes he drove slowly on up the hill ana past tue ihmim-. ?m-:Beth in a blue dress waited in the hall When she saw Howard whiz by never once glancing at the house, she was first indignant and then angry. And after an hour of deliberation, dur ing which her wrath increased, she rang for a messenger and put into his hands a note and a little sealed packet which contained her ring. She came down to dinner pale and wan. Her uncle looked at her sharply, seeing traces of tears, and decided that he would act. "I'm sorry to speak about this again," he said, clearing his throat. "but if you must go slumming I insist that you take some escort with you. I'll go If Howard will not I was amazed to see you down there among the secondhand stores in that part of town after what I told you the last time. I don't care why you go; It is not safe nor respectable, either." Beth was staring at him open eyed. "I was not down there this afternoon," she said Indignantly. The doorbell rang, and Howard was ushered into the dining room by the maid. He came up to the table and put a little packet down on the cloth. "Betlj," he said, "you don't mean it, do you? I can't let you break our engagement like this without telling me what is the matter. What have I done?" Beth stood up, looking like' a fawn at bay. Her ejes were dilated with fear, her hands clinched. She looked from Howard to her uncle, but did not speak. Finally her uncle went over to her and put his arm around her. "What is it, little girl?" he said as one would speak to a child. ? . 1 J isein Degan 10 sou auu tucu w ,au6u. "It's all so funny," she sobbed. "I?I guess it's mostly my fault I gave that gray*suit away, and the hat too." The men glanced at each other and then laughed. Howard made a step forward, but Beth ran behind her chair. "And I was at home," she said to him?"I was at home, and you did not stop?when you had asked me to go. And I was all ready and waiting for you." "But Beth, I met that gray suit downtown. I was sure it was you, and I didn't know what to do. I didn't know until afterward that I had gone by your house. Don't you see, dear"? But this time he came around behind the chair, too, and Uncle John sat down and pretended to eat his cold dinner. When Uncle John reached home the next night he found the old smoking jacket and slippers laid out for him. He smelled the sulphur with which they had been fumigated and asked no questions, though he didn't really need tn tnld where they had come from. He had seen Beth and Howard in the big green car steering toward the secondhand district in the morning, and he had had his hopes aroused. Not long afterward, while Beth was busy with her trousseau, her uncle came in softly and heard her saying to a caller: "But there's nothing so unwise as indiscriminate giving. I had a lesson, and I know." A Great Catcher. Here is a play which is vouched for by two old ball players who saw it come off and admitted to be true by the victim of the catch, big Em Gross, once the star catcher of the National league and perhaps the heaviest hitting catcher that ever donned a glove. Em was a great catcher, a wonderful thrower and a grand hitter, but he had his weakness, and that was in'catching foul flies. Some facetious writer in those days remarked that Em couldn't see the high ones In daytime. He tried for everything in sight, ran circles around the ball and sometimes spear*?d it, but he never felt at ease when one of those tall twisting fouls went up. He was catching in Providence one '"ay when a Philadelphia batter poked up a fly that looked 500 feet high. There was a wind blowing, and the * ?Irr\ /?!wilaa Da.ii oegan iu iwi?l oivuuu w u*v.v?, with Em doing a merry-go-round under It Finally, seeing that it was escaping, he made a desperate effort to turn quickly and fell flat on his back. Instinctively he threw up his feet and hands to protect his face. The ball struck the sole of his shoe, bounded up into the air, and as it fell again Em reached out and caught it. And the next morning Providence's papers had the nerve to say he did it on purpose.?Chicago Tribune. Couldn't Be Done.
