They do say that prosperity is with
u4 in South Carolina now, for money
. Is being loaned at low rates of interest.
If a man needs money it is well
enough to borrow, but too often people
borrow money who could well do
without it, and often they waste borrowed
money.
Cotton is higher now than it has
been in a year, but that is not to be
Of'
wondefred at. Did you ever notice
how the price of cotton goes up just
about planting time? If our farmers
are wise they will not depend on cotton
altogether, for only in this way
can they hope to control the price.
We do not know very much ahout
affairs at.Clemson college, but after
reading the statements of Capt.
Minus and President Mell, as well as
^,the statement of one member of the
i>.v board of trustees, coupled with the,
fact that other members of the board
decline to talk, it rather looks like
Clemson needs a new president or a
* J i- A?
I? new Duara oi iruoiees ur yvooiuij
both. Something is radically wrong
at Clemson and has been for years,
and if the board of trustees cannot
manage the institution properly, they
should resign and give place to others.
There has been more trouble at
Clemson in the last few years than at
all the other colleges in the State
put together, and surely the students
cannot be blamed for it all. Boys
I will be boys, and unless they are
controlled wisely and yet firmly,
trouble and insubordination will re5
suit.
A LITTLE BRAGGING.
Our paper is a little late this week,
but it could not be helped. There
i is a limit to the endurance of the
editor and his faithful force, and if
our readers knew the amount of
j work turned out of our office during
jfe.the past week they would wonder
how we got out any paper at all. Our
job work for last week amounted to
more than double what it used to in
an entire month. We are glad to
say to our frieiyls and well-wishers
that our business is growing all the
% > r time, and if our out-of-town patronage
keeps on as it has been for the
past few months, we can mak? a
living independent of any business
i\/:. 1 from the town of Bamberg. Work
received irom eisewnere nnngs more
money into the town and enables us
to employ a larger force who spend
their money with Bamberg merchants.
Every business in town
< should endeavor to extend its teritory
for trade.

. Wash Hunter Appeals.
Washington, April 15.?The case
of Wash Hunter, convicted in Greenwood
county for the murder of El?
bert F. Copeland, of Laurens county,
last year, will be heard before the
supreme court of the United States,
coming on an appeal from the supreme
court of South Carolina.
The grounds of appeal are that
Hunter was not indicted by the
grand jury before his trial and conviction,
which is in violation of the
federal constitution, and that he was
.-f
otherwise denied constitutional
- . rights.
Plans War on. Blind Tigers.
Columbus, Ga., April 17.?A call
for a mass meeting of citizens to
drive blind tigers out of Phoenix and
t
Girard, Ala., was to-night issued for
Monday by Editor Berry, of the
: , Phoenix-Girard Journal, whose life
was threatened yesterday, it is alleged,
because of his activity against
blind tigers. Berry to-night was try/.
ing to get into communication with
Gov. Comer and it was reported that
he might ask the governor to declare
martial law.
For the sake of his personal
safety Berry spends his nights in Columbus,
Ga., although by day he
pursues his usual business in Gir&rd.

Claflin Concert Company.
The concert given at the colored
Methodist church in this city Monday
evening ol this week was largely
attended by the white people of
the city, and they seemed to enjoy
the songs and recitations of the nesrroes.
On the whole it was a very
good entertainment, but the negroes
composing the company would do
much better work if they would attempt
only such songs as suit their
voices and would vary their program
more. They had too many songs
which were very much alike. The
behavior of the negroes present was
remarkable, in fact you could not
find a better behaved audience anywhere,
and at the close of the program
they kept their seats until all
the white people were, out of the
building. There was a large crowd
present, and the entertainment was a
financial success, which was due to
the efforts of J. A. Nimmons, the
barber, and Rev. D. J. Sanders, pastor
of the church.
Capt. Capers Operated on.
Washington, April 20.?John G.
Capers, commissioner of internal
revenue and Republican national
committeeman from South Carolina,
underwent last night at the Episcopal
Eye, Ear and Throat hospital
here, an operation for mastoid. Although
the operation was a serious
one, he was resting easily and his
condition is favorable.
Civic Association.
The successful and prosperous city
of the future is not so much the city
which can afford citizens of wealth
and prosperity, but that which can
boast of men deeply interested in the
best conditions of health, cleanliness
and safety. We are all desirous of
seeing Bamberg prosperous and
growing. Let us therefore make it
clean and thereby healthy. In most
cities and towns a day is set apart by
the mayor just at this time of the
year for a general street cleaning.
Why not in Bamberg? A concerted
movement in any enterprise is always
the most successful movements Onfe
can scarcely be enthusiastic over putting
his own premises in a perfect
state of sanitation when he sees his
neighbor over the way sitting content
with his back yard filled with
decaying vegetable matter and pools
of filthy water, or possibly his back
lot knee-deep in mud and slime?all
breeders of disease. Every day tbat
we put off this campaign against disease
and pestilence adds to the danger
of the town's safety.
It has been demonstrated that the
mosquito and house fly are largely
responsible for disease in the human
family. As they thrive only where
there are filthy barnyards or stables
and standing water, let us keep every
place scrupulously clean during the
summer months, allowing no cess
pools or stagnant water near our
premises. Then, as sickness can be
brought by flies from a neighbor's,
let us have our houses and food so
well screened that they will find it
impossible to enter.
Trenholm Shoots Himself
Charleston. April 20.?George M.
Trenholm, son of the late George M.
Trenholm, shot himself la,st night
(while handling a pistol at'his boarding
place at Mrs. O'Neill's residence,
on Legare street.
[ The report of the pistol startled
the household and upon investigation
Mr. Trenholm was found to be
lying on the floor of his room in a
pool of blood. He was immediately
removed to the Riverside infirmary,
where his wound in the right breast,
near his shoulder, was found to be
quite serious, but not necessarily fatal.
At the infirmary this afternoon it
was stated that Mr. Trenholm's con|
dition was still quite serious, but the
young man appears to be holding his
own, and may recover from the
wound.
The particulars of the shooting
| could not be definitely established today.
The shooting'is generally regretted
by the numerous friends and
acquaintances of the young man. He
is well connected, of much ability
and although it is said that his
health has not been of the best, he
has every promise of attaining a successful
career. Mr. Trenholm has a
fancy for the sea and only recently
he returned to Charleston after a
long voyage.
Floyd Not Confirmed.
Washington, April 20.?Although
opposition from Spartanburg citizens
and business men has practically
ceased, the senate to-day again failed
to confirm W. M. Floyd as postmaster.
This was because Senator Smith
had asked that the confirmation be
held up and had not notified the
postoifice committee that he had no
further objections. The executive
session being called before Senator
Smith had withdrawn his opposition,
the committee would not act on it.
A petition signed by numerous
prominent citizens of Spartanburg
for the appointment of Mr. Young as
postmaster was received by Senator
Smith to-day, but it was accompanied
by the statement that it was sent
only as an evidence of good faith and
was not intended now to be presented
to the president, Mr. Floyd's name
having been sent in. Since the meeting
of the senate to-day Senator
Smith has notified the committee
that he has no further objection, and
the senate will probably confirm Mr.
Floyd's nomination tomorrow.
Hurt by Falling Tree.
Lexington, April 18.?Mr. Ben
Kaminer, of the Edmunds section,
met with a serious accident Friday,
and it is said that he came very near
losing his life. While in the woods
cutting logs, it seems, the young
man, while trying to get out of the
way of one tree falling, ran right
under another tree, which was being
cut by another and which was falling
at the same time. One of his
legs was terribly broken between the
knee and ankle. At last accounts he
was doing as well as could be expected.

A Trip to the Magnolia Gardens.
Left Suinnferville 8 a. m. on train;
arrived at the ferry wharf 10 a. m.
There took steamer Jackson for the
beautiful Magnolia Gardens, sixteen

IllHCD 11 VJJLLi liliO ICl l J t Up VUV AOU1V/J
river. Out on the bay we have a fine
view of this magnificent harbor and
the city as it extends along its water
front, the Cooper river on the East;
bay on South, and Ashley ? on the
West. These waters form the
peninsula which encases the gem
city of the South and the "Venice"
of the future, when her neighboring
marsh flats shall have been utilized,
canaled, and gondolas shall traverse
the waterways from river to river.
Alt. Pleasant, Fort Moultrie, Fort
Sumter, and Fort Johnson (where
the quarantine is located), all come
into view as we skirt along the extensive
water front of the city.
As we leave let us take a glance at
the custom house. See the American
flag as she drapes at half-mast to
honor our great citizen, soldier,
statesman. Gen. M. C. Butler is no
more. He has fought his last battle,
and peacefully rests in the bosom
of his own beloved State, where his
name will ever be honored and perpetuated.
See the magnificent ships
there the Apache of the Clyde Line.
She has just received her cargo, and
now glides majestically out into the
open waters of the bay. We are now
in the deep channel of the Ashley
and passing in review the long stone
walls of "the Battery," its beautiful
park, and the charming residences
that adorn this lovely resort of the
city. Now we approach other ships
lying lazily at .Anchor. Beautiful
day, the sun shines brightly and not
a ripple disturbs these peaceful waters.
" " * ' .
See the numerous church spires,
and central in our love, dear old St.
Michael's. Chime on, chime on ye
beautiful bells, ring out your sacred
songs for 'tis glad Easter tide. Your
chiming bells fill our heart with joy
and, inspiring lift our souls to-higher
contemplations.
The tide is low and against us as
we are slowly .ugging up the Ashley.
Here are the old rice and lumber
mills, and many vessels are loading.
See the high draw bridge swings
rouncf for our entrance and now we
come in sight of. "Hampton Gardens,"
where a few years ago we
witnessed that exquisite Exposition.
Its remembrance and those with
whom we mingled, sweet memory
still holds dear. On either side the
neighboring forests draw near, the
sable oaks draped in their mossy
mantle are discerned , more clearly
as we bug tbe margin ol the marshy
stream to seek the deeper channel
which at low tide scarcely permits
our passage. Now we pass close by
the wharfs of the great phosphate
mills, inhale the incense wafted from
their burning furnaces. On, on, we
move, our merry little party, some
from the city, and others tourists
from the North, that linger to
breathe our balmy air and feast upon
this lovely scenery, no other place
excels. The steamer blows her signal
and the Atlantic Coast Line
bridge opens for us. And now the
third, the last, and largest bridge
of all opens wide its portal wlfere
the railroad brings the rock from
the phosphate mines to the margin
of the river, where, after it has been
washed, it is then loaded into huge
bulky barges and transported down
the river to the mills which we passed.
There it is eroiind into com
mercial fertilizers, the same which
is so extensively used and by proper
means has so greatly enriched our
farming glands.
Now we are at the landing. Under
the bowed branches of stern >old
oaks of centuries' growth, here under
this high* arch of nature's
building, we pass through and are
now in the famous Magnolia Gardens.
I shall not attempt to describe
the scenery which art and
nature have combined to make so
grand, beautiful, and sublime. Here
the swamp cypress and the stern
old oak with interlocking branches
have grown old and have withstood
the storms and tempests of centuries.
And the stately magnolias
In rows and long avenues stand
(not yet in chaste beauty dressed)
can well abide their time and in
calm complacency admire the clustering
roses, japonicas, and
azaleas in their gorgeous array
which is only a prelude to the beautiful
scenery when the magnolias
are in bloom.
L. N. BELLINGER.
Bamberg, April 19, 1909.
Eyes Open Day and Night.
After keeping his eyes open for
more than-25 years, John Anderson
died Tuesday from tuberculosis, his
eyes remaining open even after
death.
This strange affliction of the eyelids
was contracted while he was
working in a limestone quarry. The
dust so irritated his eyelids they became
raw and grew to the eyeballs.
When he desired sleep it was his
custom to exclude the light. After
he dropped ofT into unconsciousness
the strongest light had no effect
on him and he slept undisturbed.?

Mr. A. G. Varn, St. George, S. C.
Dear Sir: I have suffered with
articular rheumatism for the past
ten years and have tried every spring
in the whole country for it and got
no relief. I have tried nearly every
drug the medical profession has gotten
out for the treatment of rheumatism
with the same result. I was induced
to take a bottle of your remedy,
and one bottle cured me entirely
and I am too glad to be able to
heartily recommend it to any one
suffering with any form of the disease.
Very respectfully yours,
L. J. MANN,
Physician, and Surgeon.

Woman Counsel in Hargis Case.
Jackson, Ky., April 17.?When
the second trial of Beach Hargis,
charged with the murder of his
father, Judge James Hargis, is called
at Irvine, Ky., next Monday, one
of the thirteen attorneys for the defense
will be a woman attorney, Mrs.
William A. Young. Her husband,
who was one of the attorneys who
secured the acquittal of Eugene
Gardner, in San Francisco, for the
murder of a negro, will also act for
the defense, which will be directed

This will be the first time a
woman attorney has appeared in an
important case in Kentucky.

thousand dollars for his defense.
This includes all his mother's part
