Great Battleship Will be Launched at
* I
Philadelphia Next Month.
%., /Columbia, June 11.?The battle*:*:
ship "South Carolina" will be launchIBI
ed on the 11th of July at the Cramps
shipyards, Philadelphia.
Official notice has been received by
Gov. Ansel that the launching will
ta^e place on that date and the governor
Is requested in the letter to
give the builders any details connectgas&r
ed with the launching that may be
?; desired to be carried out. The letter
from President Henry S. Grover, of
the! William Cramps and Sons Company,
says:
"I have the honor to inform you
that the date fixed for the launching
' of the battleship South Carolina is
July nth, next,
"If you will advise us the wishes
t the government of your State as to
any details connected therewith it
would be a great pleasure for us to
comply as far as possible with them."
j;Gor. AnseJ was to-day engaged in
the meeting of the State board of
education and it could not be ascertained
whether he had outlined any
- plans for the launching but it is presumed
that he will be present with
an official party. It is usually custom

the launching of a battleship, in
which ceremonies the governor par-;
tifcipates and the ship is christened
; by some young lady of his family or
designated by him. It is to be hoped
that Gov. Ansel will be able to attend
-v and that the ceremonies will be befitting
the fame of the Palmetto State.
The* South Carolina is one of the
K - most modern type of battleships and
when completed will be one of the
' - ' terrors of the seas. It has already
been suggested that a fund should be
raised by popular subscription to present
the shift with a silver service in
the name of the State, the name of
which it bears, and that this presentation
take place in Charleston harbor
- when the battleship makes her
first trip. The suggestion is capable
of expansion along the lines that will
do the State great credit, in more;
ways than one. I

Title and Estates Falls to Butler in
Virginia Home. ^
Richmond, Va., June 12.?Theodore
von Thien, a butler in the home of Patride
P. Ryan, yesterday received from
the French ambassador in Washington
papers by which he becomes Count von
linen of the provinces of Kronefelt and
Tliien, and, with his brother, inherits;
the large fortune and estates of his
- father. August von Thien, the brother,
ifi.a cablegram from Paris, announces
that his attorney has established their
claims to their titles.
There are amounts aggregating $2,000,000
in the banks of Germany and
Fiance which will be turned over to the
- * - ^ i rm. _ *
brothers in uecemoer. ine iamcx was
drowned and his body never recovered,
causing the delay in establishing the
fact of his death.
'August and Theodore von Thien came
to the United States as young men, and
both held positions as butlers m Sherry's
Jfew York restaurant. Theodore came
t6 Virginia two years ago. When told
that he was a count he simply said:
"I'm sorry for it. I have traveled so
much, and have never been as happy as
I am in Richmond."
The Bamberg Guards left this (Wednesday)
morning for encampment on
Sullivan's Island. There was a full company,
and the boys will make a fine
showing. A special coach was left here
Tuesday night for the use of the company.
Capt. Folk and the officers have
been working hard to make the Guards
a fine company.

GRADED SCHOOL CLOSES.
Mr. W. M. Brabham Writes in the
Columbia State Concerning
Bamberg's Schools.
The Bamberg gradbd and high
schools closed the year Friday after
a successful although a very difficult
session. In the history of the schools
here no more adverse circumstances
have occurred than in the year just
closed. In November the handsome
and commodious building was destroyed
by fire and since that time
I the county court house has been used
i as a temDorary school building and
despite the fact that everything was
done that could be done under the
circumstances the school did not accomplish
what it could have done in
a building out of the very centre of
the business section and in a regularly
appointed building. Superintendent
Sheridan and his faithful
corps of teachers deserve much commendation
for the patient and faithful
service rendered. The enrollment
has' been good and shows an increase
over any previous year and the institution
of the high school department
has proved a great success. The commercial
department in particular has
been taken advantage of, and several
young ladies have received certificates
in this branch of work. One
has already secured a position as
stenographer.
/l"* - ? ? -- ? o n orae
mere, win ue a. uuml?ci ui tuousco
in the teaching corps of the scnool
next year. Mr. E. Paul Allen, principal
of the Magnolia Street graded
school in Greenwood, has accepted
the position of superintendent to succeed
Prof. Sheridan, who goes to
Lake City.
The new school building has been
completed and will be fitted out with
splendid furniture during the summer
and when the fall session opens
everything will be very favorable for
a good year's work. Bamberg is always
to the forefront in matters of
education and nothing will be left
undone which will help towards bettering
and upbuilding the school.
With the graded and high schools and
the Carlisle Fitting School ^here the
advantages are exceptionally fine.
Both schools have flowing artesian
wells on the grounds and the water
supply is excellent and the health of
the two schools is remarkably good.

"Brother A. W. Knight, of The Bamberg

for his enterprising spirit. He
recently moved into his new office,
which is one of the .finest buildings
in the town, and has installed a
modern ' linotype machine. Not
many country newspapers are so
well equipped, and the people of

Get the Boosting Habit!
Do you know there's lots of people.
Sitting' round most every town, .
Growling like a broody chicken,
Knocking every good thing down.
Don't be that kind of cattle,
'Cause they aint no good on" earth,
But just be a booster rooster,
Crow and boost for all you're worth.
If your town needs boostin, boost her,
Don't hold back and wait to see
If some other fellow's willin';
Sail right in, this country's free.
No one's got a mortgage on it,
It's just yours as much as his;
If your town is shy of boosters,
You get in the boostin' biz.
If things don't seem to suit you
An' the world seems kinder wrong,
What's the matter with a boostin'
Just to help the thing along.
'Cause if things should stop again,
We'd be in a sorry plight,
You just keep the horn a-blowin',
Boost her up with all your might.
If you see some fellow tryin'
For to make some project go,
An' you can boost it up a trifle,
That's your cue to let him know
That you're not going to knock it,
Just because it ain't your shout,
But that you're going to boost a little
'Cause he's got the best thing out.
Editor Indicted.
Lexington, June 12.?Editor N.
Rogers Bayly, of the Batesburg Advocate,
was indicted by, the grand
jury last Tuesday for an assault with
intent to kill and carrying concealed
weapons. The indictment charges
the assault as having been made
with a pistol on A. J. Bethea, private
secretary to the Governor; Prof. W.
C. Allen, the Rev. J. I. Allen and Dr.
S. W. Page. It is said that these
parties were members of a wedding
party stopping at the Batesburg
Hotel, and while there the assault is
alleged to have been made.
It was stated that they were ordered
around their room in the hotel at
the point of a pistol. This case was
continued after the defendant gave
bond. Mayor W. C. Bates, of Batesburg,
was one of his bondsmen. It
is said that the town authorities at
Batesburg took no action in the
matter.

A cute little Boston terrier pup showed
some of his higher brothers in the
Darwinian scale on Massachusetts avenue,
Cambridge, how to keep cool yesterday.
He was trotting along behind
an ice wagon, and each time it stopped
to make deliveries the cunning chap
sprawled out underneath, where the
chilly trickles from the melting ice
would strike his fevered body. The way
he splashed on his pink stomach made
all the bystanders lqng to follow suit.?
