THURSDAY, MARCH 26,1998,
William Jennings Bryan was fortyeight
years old last Thursday. What
will be his age when he is inaugurated
as president of these United States?
A year's subscription will be given
for the correct answer.
T ?
The deplorable death of 0. W.
Buchanan is simply another result of
fire arms being carried by careless or
irresponsible persons. If a boy wants
a plaything, too many fathers give
' him a small caliber rifle.
& Cole L. Blease had better fhake
y sort of reply to the letter of Lewis
W. Parker before he goes on the
stump as a candidate for governor.
He is likely to have embarrassing
questions asked him if he don't make
. some sort of statement. In fact, he
has waited too long already. .
The death of Capt. W. A. Courtenay,
which sad event occurred in
Columbia last week, was a great loss
1. to the State. He lived in Charleston
\ for many years, and no doubt he did
| more patriotic unselfish-service for
'i>: the city than any other citizen. In
fact,-his life was one of devotion to
to the best interests of his State, and
|/fTiis good works will live after him.
Attention is directed to the letter
J I from Congressman J. 0. Patterson in
v another column. It will be noted that
p he is interesting himself in the matter
of good roads, which by the way is a'
J/ most important subject with the people
in this section of the State, and
we trust he will be able to accomplish
something along this line. What we
|p; need most to build good roads, howr
t ever, is not advice but cash.
And now the county dispensaries
are getting into trouble, just like the
\ State dispensary. One of the strongly
, est and most earnest advocates of the
. old State dispensary said to us a few
days ago: "It looks like the State
must go out of the whiskey business
' -or it will damn us all." Truly it
druas look so. No man. no matter
what his previous reputation, can j
s touch the handling of whiskey withW
v out suspicion.
Judge Robert Aldrich has adopted
the policy of sending illegal whiskey
sellers to the chain gang and not al- j
, lowing them the alternative of a fine.
./ A most excellent plan, and one which
will do much to put a stop to the
traffic. Let other judges follow the
example of Judge Aldrich. If he
treats all other criminals as he does
x * the whiskey sellers, he will do much
to make life and property safer in
- vr South Carolina.
WILL GARRIS RUN?
Under the heading of "Candidates
in Town," the Walterboro Press and
Standard had the following to say
last week of Hon. C. W. Garris. \
"Hon. C. W. Garris, of Denmark,
was in town yesterday. Mr. Garris
is considering whether or not he shall
be a candidate for-congress from his
district. It is believed that if he announces
his candidacy he will make it
very interesting for those who run.
He is popular in his adopted county
and it is thought that the man who
defeated him would be congressman."
What under the sun is Garris doing
on a political mission down in
"Collington." True he was born
there, but Bamberg county is now
his home?and we are mighty proud
to have him as a citizer^ But "Collington"
is not in the second concrrpssirmal
district, and if he wants
to be congressman let him come up
this way and tell the boys about it.
Seriously, however, Mr. Garris's
many Bamberg friends are anxious
for him to make the race and are
enthusiastic over his rumored candidacy
to a great degree. Whether he
will run or not we do not know, but
he is considering it. Should he enter
* the race it is only truth to state that
he will be strongly supported in Bamberg,
his adopted county. Mr. Garris
would nTake a fine congressman.
Of commanding personal appearance,
magnetic manners, and sound, sensible
views on public questions, he
would be a strong representative in
the councils of the nation.

FAIR NOTICE.
April first is near at hand, and this
week's paper will be the last before
the new ruling of the postoffice department
as to paid-up subscriptions
goes into effect. We are going to
obey the l&w strictly. In the first
place, we do not care to offend "Uncle
Sam," and then it is good business
as well. There is no use to send a
paper on credit when the amount involved
ie nr>lv nne dollar. Every one
can just as well pay this in advance
as later, and with hundreds of names
scattered all over the country, it is
too much trouble to attempt to collect
such small accounts. But we
have been lenient to some of our old
subscribers heretofore. They have
always paid us and will always do so.
I^ut with "Uncle Sam" right behind
us, we cannot indulge them. So if
your paper stops when the time expires,
don't blame us. ..We have no
alternative, and trust no one will
think hard of us.
FOR BETTER HIGHWAYS.
Congressman, Patterson Interesting
Himself in This Important Matter.
Washington, March 18,1908.
The Bamberg Herald, Bamberg,
S. C.?My Dear Sir: The following
is a copy of a letter which I have recently
written to the supervisor of
your county in regard to the construction
and improvement of the
Dublic roads and e^tplains itsdf:
"I have introduced* in the house a bill
prodding for the establishment in the
department of agriculture of a bureau
to be known as the bureau of public
highways, and to provide for national
aid in the improvement of the public
roads.'
' 'I expect to make a fight at this session
for the passage of the bill, feeling, as I
do, the great benefit to be derived
therefrom, and especially by the farmers
and others living in the rural districts,
and /emote from trade centers and
places of market for their produce, to
say nothing of the great reduction in
<he expense of placing their produce on
>the market, accessibility to schools,
churches, etc., etc.
' "There is now established in the department
of agriculture an office known
as the office of public roads, but a very
small appropriation is made for the
maintenance of this office, and with the
very limited means at their command,
no financial aid can be given in cohstrUction
of roadp. This office of public
roads, however, does furnish expert
advice in the construction of roads, and
upon application to the director of the
- i j x.
office of public roads, department 01
agriculture, Washington, D. C., they
will undertake to supply a supervising
engineer, and, when practicable, the
necessary machinery. In addition to
this, tests are made in the laboratory to
determine among the materials available
the one btest suited to a particular
road. The local authorities, however,
have to furnish all material, common
labor, teams and fuel.
"I am, therefore, inclosing herewith
a blank form for application and a circular
of instructions which explains the
methods by which this office co-operates
with communities in the construction of
object-lesson roads.
"If you have any funds that are available
for this kind of work, and are prepared
to comply with the requirements
of the department, I would suggest that
you take the matter up with them, and
I will be pleased to render you any assistance
in my power."
I believe that good results could
be obtained if you would agitate this
matter in your columns and arouse
the people to an interest in good
roads. I am very much interested
along this line and hope to get some
good results from my work.
I am endeavoring to get an expert
from the office of public roads to go
to my district and make addresses on
the construction and improvement of
thp rmhlic roads and to domonstrate
the work of road-building.
I would be glad if you would call
on the supervisor and see the forms
I have sent him and give me such
suggestions as you may think of advantage
in bringing this matter to
the attention of the people and arousing
them to the necessity and importance
of actoin.
If the people will take an interest
and back me up in this work, I will
be able to accomplish a much needed
work and make a start for roadbuilding
and improvement which will
result in much good to the country
and give an impetus to progress and
prosperity. Very truly yours,
J. 0. Patterson.
Zimmerman Begins Sentence.
Columbia, March 18.?Daniel Zimmerman,
who pleaded guilty to the
charge of forgery and who was sentenced
to three years in the penitentiary,
this afternoon began his sentence,
the Supreme Court having re
11? nf +vto
cenuy ctnuuicu mc juu^uium m wv
trial court.
Zimmerman, who is 69 years old,
and in ill health, will be given light
work in the penitentiary. He gave
himself up voluntarily and went to
the prison accompanied by his son,
who broke down and cried as his
father entered the prison.
Zimmerman was a clerk in the office
of the State treasurer, and the
charge grew out of State bonds
stoled from the office.

SENATOR TILLMAN ILL.
Suffers an Attack from an Old Trouble
at his Home at Trenton.
Columbia, March 21?Senator Tillman,
who for several days has been
at his home at Trenton, between Columbia
and Augusta, will probably
not be able to return to his duties in
Washington for some days. Senator
Tillman was taken seriously ill Thursday
night.
He spoke Monday in Washington,
and after two days at Clemson college;
he went to his home at Trenton,
complaining of the heat. That night
he had an attack evidently due to the
hard work and the unusual heat
which produced nervous troubles
similar to those from which he suffered
three years ago, when he consulted
eminent, socialists in Philadelnhia.
who found no signs of organic disease.
After a short rest the Senator was
soon at his post again. In the present
attack the old symptoms of numbness
and tingling of the left side have
returned but they are lessening in the
last twenty-four hours. His physicians,
Dr. Hunter and Dr. Babcock,
are agreed that there are now no indications
of organic trouble and are
hopeful that after a few days rest,
the Senator may be well enough to
return to his duties in Washington.

Father and Son in Jail.
Greenville, March 17.?William
and Earle Payne, father and son, respectively,
are lodged in the county
jail tonight, both charged with capital
offense of a different nature. The
elder Payne, who is 60 years of age,
is charged with arson, and the younger
one is charged with having ravished
a young negro girl. Earle Payne,
the young man, was arrested yesterday
morning on a warrant sworn out
by the girl's parents. The Paynes are
white people and heretofore have
borne good reputations. Both crimes
were1 committed about four miles
from the city.
Increased Pay for Soldiers.
Washington, March 17.?The army
pay bill passed by the senate provides
for officers a graded increase
of pay ranging from 5 per cent, for
lieutenant-generals to 25 per cent,
for junior officers. It also provides
that ythe average pay of ,enlisfed
men of the army as now established
be increased 40 per cent." This
takes away the discretion of the
president in fixing the pay of soldiers.

Hair Caught in Machinery.
* Spartanburg, March 2a?Mrs. Hattie
Wheeler, an employe of Beaumont mills,
in this city, was scalped this morning as
the result,of her hair becoming entangled
in the machinery, and her condition
tonight is said to be serious. Mrs.
Wheeler dropped some article upon the
floor and reaching down to recover it
placed her head beneath the machine
and her hair was caught. Cur#

When Constable Joseph Gale went
to the home of Mrs. Mary Watkinson
at Camden. N. J., he was met by a
pack of dogs. Mongrels threatened
the shins of the officer until he said he
wopld shoot them. Then the woman
called them off and her goods were set
into the street Then the dogs stood
guard over the household goods while
Mrs. Watkinson sought assistance. A
large crowd was attracted, but no one
was permitted to come near the pile
of furniture.
Wonderfully Good Sight.
The Duchess of X. once went to
Greenwich to see the marvels of the
observatory. It was a lovely night
and for the fair duchess' benefit the
great telescope was duly leveled at the
dazzling field of stars.
"What is that star?" she said, pointing
to a very bright one.
"Oh, thafs Aldebaran, a star of the
first magnitude."
"Is It very far off?" asked her grace.
"About six or seven light years, your
grace." - .
"What Is a light year?"
"Merely an expression which one
uses to convey an idea of the distance
which light travels in a year. SRoughIy
speaking, light travels at the rate
of 190,000 miles in a second, and there
are about 31,000,536 seconds In a year.
In one year, therefore, light travels
above 5,991,840,000,000 miles. The expression
light year* includes these figures."
"And is that star all those millions
of miles away?'
"Yes, your grace, as nearly as we
can calculated'
oil t Mn sav." remarked the
xu^u ~ ?? ? ,
duchess, "Is tHat you must have wonderfully
good eyes to make out that
star's name at that distance, even with
this big telescope. It's really most
marvelous."?London Tit-Bits.
