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 ?*?? MMniAnlM I o+tonHinp' "T*1"" lu iiaic vciviuuiuvui ?0 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 > I- ! SERVANT A MILLIONAIRE. V 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.

Knight, of The Bamberg Herald, certainly deserves credit 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 Bamberg county should pride themselves on having such a live paper. May The Herald continue to flourish. ?Dorchester Eagle. 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. " ir n l i up neeps twi.
