Your alibi is accepted.?Anderson Daily Mail. We might add that The Herald is just as far from supporting the Mail's candidate, Senator Latimer, as it is Mr. Martin. In fact, between the twp, we would take Martin, for we candidly believe he has a great deal more sense and honesty than Latimer. But we are not committed to anybody, and will wait developements. The Greenwood Journal has installed a linotype machine, and the f : " Greenwood Index will put in a machine at an early date. These are the first weekly newspapers in the State to put in linotypes. Several | V. semi-weeklies use tliem, but the Journal and Index are the first weeklies to have the necessary nerve to put in type-setting machines. We congratulate these contemporaries, and hope to follow their example in 14 the next few months. Fact is, we 1 j L jm ,i_ ^ ^ signea a contract ior a macnuie mux c than two years ago, but our present building was too small, so we post^ poned the purchase. We are now erecting what we hope will be a nice ? .Vv office, and we expect to put in a linotype in the next few months, also a \ / folder, andsomeother new machinery. We have 'only one suggestion to / make to the school trustees in rebuilding our school house, and that is to build a good one. The best isnone too good for onr children, and we want an adequate building?one that v;f; will not only be an ornament to the f; ; city, but it should be large enough to serve our purposes for several years to come. Build for the future as well as the present. This is our desire fc above all else. True we think it was v a serious mistake to put the building at the present location in the first instance, but we shall not complain if it "??nxi TT. ? 118 DUiii oac& mere, nuwcvcx, u. aujr i number of our citizens start a movement to change the location, such a proposition will have our hearty support. Suppose it does take money, 1 gfo it is better to make the change now than to have our educational interests suffer. We must look to the greatest good to the greatest number, and if the building is at present inconveniently located for a majority ? of the pupils and patrons, it should be moved to a more central part of the town, provided a suitable site can be secured. What we want to do in Bamberg is to forget our personal interests and look solely to the good of the community generally. s . . Judge Aldrich Has Resigned. His health having been bad for several years, Judge James Aldrich, of Aiken, the oldest circuit judge in v the state, announced some time ago ?. that he would leave the bench, and Tuesday sent his resignation to Governor Ansel.

Below are found the names of the pupils in the advanced department of the school, and opposite each name is given the number of perfect lessons recited. If the pupil has been present every day, /the number should be 27.

The following pupils have been present every day: Grace Moore, Earle Jones, Genie Ramsey, Louise Westerlund, Daisy Westerlund, Mamie Ehrhardt, Robbie Hughes, Leon Ramsey, Harry Copeland. The subject for Monday morning talks for the third month is kindness. The trustees have insured the school building for $800 at a cost of $24, which amount pays for the incnranr?P fnr tVirpp vears. This is good business judgment. School buildings frequently burn. It is better to have fire insurance and not need it, than to need it and not have any insurance. Thirty-five friends of the school have joined the Larkins' club, pledging themselves to take the $20 worth of household supplies that have already been ordered. The primary room will get a drum for their premium, and the advanced pupils have selected a large dictionary. We desire to thank all the members of this club who are thus making it possible for the school to procure this needed equipment without resorting to the unpleasant task of begging. Each member will get full value for every cent subscribed. We desire to state, however, that the supplies will come by freight, awd as freight travels very slowly at this season of the year, it may be three weeks or a month before your order is delivered, so don't become impatient.

Football Strategy Compared to Methods of Experts Who Devise Engines of Actual Warfare?Field Goals Increase In Number. The results of football games this season have practically ended forever the practice of attempting to forecast the outcome of contests, according to comparative scores. It has always been difficult in football to figure the strength of teams ^n a comparative score basis, but not within the knowi MURPHY, RIGHT TACKLE, WISCONSIN. [Murphy, the Wisconsin varsity right tackle, Is given credit for playing a very fast game. He Is a strong line . breaker and a good man on defense.] edge of the oldest inhabitant has a year been marked by so many startling reversals as the present one. According to some of the scores this year, a team that has been beaten by n aMwnri rate eleven is Inst as ant as not to turn around and wallop an unbeaten team that the critics hare boomed as the greatest gridiron machine in all history. v Presumably there is only one way to be sure of betting on the winning team nowadays, and that is to bet on the eleven that will make the highest score. v,In- the navy we had torpedo boats. Then some one invented torpedo boat destroyers. Then some one else invented submarines that could destroy torpedo boat destroyers. And probably some one is now working on a craft that will destroy the submarines that destroy the torpedo boat destroyers that destroy the torpedo boats that destroy the big battleships. \ In football various teams perfected the forward pass. Then Princeton devised a scheme that destroyed the ef, fectiveness of the forward pass, as evidenced by the Carlisle Indian game. Then Yale perfected a system of play to beat the scheme Princeton had for c. CHALMEBS, LAFAYETTE HALFBACK. [Lafayette university has a valuable back field man in Chalmers, the speedy right half, whose ground gaining ability has gained him considerable notice.] defeating the forward pass. Now who has a plan to destroy the claimed Effectiveness of the Yale scheme? Truly warfare on the sea or on the gridiron has points of decided similarity. Field goals are more numerous this year than for several seasons past Hardly an important gridiron game has occurred in which field goals did not figure in the score. : ~'\v * ' * THE ROUNDUP COLUMN.

All the wealth of the Indies will not be sufficient to lure either Mr. Selby or Mr. Peabody into professional participation in a divorce case. As Mr. Peabody said the other day: "We have had plenty, thank you." Mr. Selby as a private citizen has k had all the divorc? experience he can use, while Mr. Peabody lost his position in the police department because of revelations concerning his activity In the Howard Gould divorce case. None of the names of Mr. Selby appears upon the frosted glass doors of the agency. "Norman doesn't like to use his name officially,'" Mr. Peabody explained, "but you know that a man can't be a detec tive long without somebody finding It out" , > The Kid should excel in the matter of disguises. It is recalled that once upon a time, when Mr. Selby was appearing in a western state in a professional capacity?to wit as a pugilisthe escaped from the rural constabulary who were intent upon arresting him. He smeared his countenance with burnt cork, and thus disguised as a negro he passed peacefully on his way. ^Xange, the Annapolis Naval academy quarterback, has surprised the navy coaches and players by his fine work.

' ' ' TWO MORENEW PLAYS "The Right of Way" and a Crothers Drama. COMING OF MRS. PATRICK." Outline of the Drama by the Talented Author of "The Three of Us"?Mrs. Patrick Is "Human 8unshine," as Laura Nelson Hall Portrays Her. [From Our New York Dramatic Correspondent] Two of the recent new dramatic productions are "The Right of Way" and "The Coming of Mrs. Patrick." Iirru- TITn^H n4> TIT a 1 j. lie mgui ui tt aj v^ucu ai lack's theater with Guy Standing in the leading role. As in her great success, "The Three of Us," Rachel Crothers has made the dominating factor in her new drama, "The Coming of Mrs. Patrick," which reopened the Madison Square theater recently, the persuasive personality of a wholesome woman. Last year it was mvy ui GUY STANDING. a young American girl struggling to make both ends meet In the west This season she takes the shape of a trained nurse. vThe joy of living is what Mrs. Patrick represents, and as played by Laura Nelson Hall this emotion splendidly sways the character. There are a wholesomeness, a breadth*of style and, a sympathetic quality in the acting of Miss Hall that make her an ideal selection for this particular role. Planted In the midst of a cantankerous and brooding family, the mother of which lies an invalid upstairs and the father of which is not much more than a parcel of bones, Mrs. Patrick shakes up the fire in the first act, shoves a cushion in the small of the masculine parent's back and starts in generally not only to bring order out of chaos, but sunshine out of the depth of melancholy. She has much to contend with. Mother and father have already been mentioned. Son Is a weakmlnded, highball drinking youth, and daughter is a' hysterica] matinee girl, who will probohHr hA all rlffht when she grows UP. Then there Is Dudley Birmingham, a polished villain with Inky black hair, who, before the action of -the play begins, has rained Mrs. Patrick's friend, Miss Chrlssy Heath, disclosed in the third act as weak and Inane enough for any man to twirl around his finger with the utmost speed limit Others' are Pauline Shank, a coarse and vulgar young lady who .talks loud and long without saying anyt]iing; Maria, an Irish servant who chatters In the same vacuous vein, and Eleanor Lawton, the daughter of the family, so suspicious of everything and everybody that one almost fears she suspects herself. ' It may be readily surmised, therefore, that the coming of Mrs. Patrick Is a welcome relief both to the personages In the cast as well as in the audience. She is like a brass band on a desert island or an electric light in a coal bin ?unique and wearing "Welcome" writ in large letters at every point of vantage. z ^ Melville Stewart, who has hitherto been conspicuous in musical comedy, plays the friend of the family, Dr. Bruce, capitally, with reserve and decorum. Mr. Walter Thomas as the bad boy, Billy Lawton, gets drunk with ? I 11. the usual stage agmiy. jlijizuikjui Stewart gives a discreet performance of the sour natured Eleanor Lawton, and Perla Landers as the- shallow headed and hearted model is quite clever. The stories published in various newspapers that Miss Flora Zabelle, the wife of Raymond Hitchcock, is to play the title role in a second "The Merry Widow" company are not correct Miss Zabelle will be otherwise engaged, and Miss Lena Abarbanell, who was featured last season by Mr. Savage in "The Student King," hasbeen selected to play the widow in the company now being organised to play in western territory.
