" A handsome government building
| for Bamberg will be going some, but
we feel sure we will get it if it can
be gotten, as Congressman Patterson
is an earnest and energetic worker.
Ife
~ The railway authorities have been
considering, for months thb matter of
lighting the passenger station prop:
erly, but no results have been obtainv?d
so far. It seems to be the policy
'i-s * of the railroad to do just as little
as possible for the convenience of
^.? ^ ' the traveling public at this point.
That was a good meeting in the
v town hall last Friday afternoon. Now
let's have a better one when the or>'
ganization meeting is to be held,
f4 Every business man in the city should
t , . be present when officer* are to be
elected and the organization put under
way.
Bamberg is certainly waking up. 1
? It is an teasy matter to get a public
meeting nere now, and it is one of
^ V the most hopeful signs we have noted
recently. No town can grow unless
g; ' its citizens take an interest in public
& - affairs, and we are glad to see our
, people alive to the public welfare.
?v They have made a good start recently
pp?' ?let them keep it up. 1
MSik Nearly eleven years ago we cast ?
?ur hH with the people of Bamberg,
' and to-day every interest we have is
P* located wfthin the corporate limits ,
of this city. We have shown our
faith in Bamberg by investing every j
^ ; dollar we have right here. Bam- ,
berg would be a better town if every 1
dollar made here was invested in ,
Bamberg real estate or Bamberg en- j
p V+-: terprises. j
piV ' This is the season of the year 1
^ r. ' when many, people think they have ,
If the privilege of plowing up the pub- j
lie roads, to the great discomfort and j
~ inconvenience of the traveling pub- <
Be; If some of these violators of the i
law were prosecuted and heavily <
fined, it would put a stop to the j
f" practice. It is against the law to ]
plop into the public roads, and our <
?1 officials should take the matter in <
hand and prosecute those who are ,
guilty of such a reprehensible practice <
Give your name to the cpmmittee
cm membership when they call on
you, as every citizen of Bamberg <
vthould be a member of the proposed
business league: Help in the growth
i N of Bamberg, and let us hsow to the
world that we have here a united citizenship,
standing shoulder to }
shoulder, having one purpose, the .
. best interests of the entire communi- i
ty. You will be surprised at the re- .
suits which can be obtained for the j
> city with everybody working togeth
er.' We have a good town, but we .
want to make it a better one, and
< we want t'o let the outside world .
know what we are doing. This can be
done most effectively with all of us
working together.
Last week Congressman Patterson
introduced a bill in congress providing
for a public building at Bamberg
to cost $125,000. This shows that
our representative is right on the
job, and we hope that his efforts in
behalf of this city will be successful.
Bamberg certainly needs better facilities,
and we wnll gladly second the
efforts of Mr. Patterson in obtaining
the public building. Every citizen
of the city and county should be interested
in this project, and should
lend all assistance and encouragement
to Mr. Patterson in the fight for
a public building. Of course this
matter will take time, but there is
no reason why Bamberg should not
have a handsome public building.

A QUEER PROFESSION.
Man With Contract For Five Tons of
Rattlesnake
Rattlesnake Bill, with orders in-his
pocket for five tons of diamondback
rattlesnakes, has gone to South Dakota
as the one best place on earth
where 10,000 pounds of live rattlers
can be secured, and as soon as the
warm spring sun brings the snakes
from their winter homes Bill will begin
the harvest. Rattlesnake Bill is
a professional snake hunter. It's not
a matter of sentiment, nor pride, nor
revenge that causes him to risk his
life 1,000 times every day. It is simply
a business matter. Bill finds It
easier to make money by facing a
terrible deaths every minute of his
life than by working. Therefore, he
turned snake-hunter, and- now has
the distinction of handling more liverattlers
than any other man in the
world. Five tons of rattlesnakes?
not dead ones, but every one alive
and virile, ready, anxious and spoiling
for trouble. These are the kind that
Rattlesnake Bill gdes after.
Bill has his eye on the famous
Rattlesnake canyon of the Grand
River, some twenty-five miles west
of Pierre, and here it is that he expects
to pass the entire summer
catching rattlesnakes for dealers in
different parts of the country. Rattlesnake
canyon is so full of snakes i
that no man ever goes near it. The
canyon is a deep slash in the lime
stone hills, through which the Grand
River makes its way. When the hot j
sun shines into the gorge the snakes
crawl from their holes and coil themselves
together in great balls on the
floor of the canyon. Hardy hunters
who have, risked wandering snakes
and have made their way to the brink
of the chasm say there are tens of
thousands of rattlers there?say
that the ground is literally alive with
snakes.
"What does a fellow want with five
tons of live rattlers?" was asked the
unique character. "I want them to
sell to the side shows and other attractions
of that nature," was the reply.
"They are in great demand?
the rattlesnake market is never
glutted. They are very delicate and
usually live only a few weeks after
they are captured if their fangs are
removed, as they usually are. How
do we remove the fangs? Well, we
force about six inches of broom handle
down a snake's throat. That
opens its mouth, and of course prevents
its closing it. Then, with a pair
of pliers we simply pull out the
fangs. There are never enough rattlesnakes
to supply the demand, and
they can always be sold at a good
price. Almost any big snake dealer
will contract for all the snakes one
can catch."
When Bill goes into a den of rattlemakes
he is dressed in a suit of
heavy leather over a suit of corduroy.
On his feet he wears felt boots
drawn over a pair of ordinary heavy
boots. Two pairs of thick gloves, a
fur cap and with a cape which covers
his shoulders and breast and protects
his entire face, and a pair of
joggles for the eyes complete his armor.
Dressed in this manner, he
may with impunity step right into
i bunch of rattlesnakes, confident
that not a single fang can reach him.
A.t such times he carries a five-foot
forked stick with a wire noose attachment.
With this fork he pins a
snake to the floor, and the noose,
svhich slips over the reptile's head,
;hokes it into submission. The snake
Is then transferred to a basket and
later to a specially constructed wagmi,
which be keeps near. When the
lay's catch is finished and the wagon
iriven to a safer place the snakes are
iefanged.?Chicago Record-Herald.

Albany, Ga., April 30.?William
W. Morris, of a well known Americus
family, \?as shot to death early this
morning in the tenderloin ^district
here by Frank Jay. Investigation by
a coroner's jury resulted in the release
of Jay soon after his arrest.
Evidence was to the effect that Morris
had announced his intention of
going to the house in the tenderloin,
where he knew Jay, was, and killing
him.
He burst in the door of a room in
which Jay stood and opened fire. He
wounded Jay in the shoulder and received
two bullets in his heart.

RUFFIANS ASSAULT CRIPPLE.
Emmett J. Rodman Roughly Dealt M
With on Train.
Chester, April 30.?Mr. Emmett
J. Rodman, son of Mr. S. A. Rodman, C
who is attending King's Business Col- g
lege, in Charlotte, was brutally set IV
upon Saturday evening while a pass- f<
enger on Train No. 27, by Luke and $
Roach Jordan, who are said to be c
Rock Hill mill operatives. s<
Young Rodman, who is a cripple,
and forced to use crutches, was stand- a
- a* i.? 1 _ n
ing on tne rear piauonn in iue uam o.
as it was coming out of Charlotte, f<
when the two Jordans and an assocK P
ate, whose name is unknown, endeav- a
ored to jostle him off the platform, b
The young man resisted, and the ruf- fi
fians seized one of his crutches and
pitched it off the train. They then n
seized young Rodman, and would s:
have pitched him bodily off the train,
tlien moving at a speed of something ^
like twenty miles an hour, had he not a
managed to seize the hand-rail and c;
save himself. Recovering his balance r<
the victim of the attack shoved his
hand into his pocket as if to draw out h
a weapon, and the assailants ceased f<
their attack. Later young Rodman si
went into the coach, and the Jordans n
took possession of the platform again,
being finally placed under arrest and b
turned over to .the Pineville authoi|i- &
ties, by whom they were sent back to 6
Charlotte.
The two ruffians were before( Recorder
Smith Tuesday morning, and
were fined $25 each and costs. T
Mr. John Rodman, brother of Emmett
J. Rodman, was present at the
hearing, and says that the evidence
went to show that the assault lacked S(

Insurgents Told to Quit Party.
??? e;
Washington, April 27.?An invi- ^
tation extended to-day by Senator
Rayner,/ of Maryland, to the "insur- d
gent" senators to join the democratic
party was spurned by Senator Dolli- ^
ver, on behalf of the "insurgents."
This suggestion by Mr. Rayner followed
a speech by him in the senate
criticising as unconstitutional some
of the features of the administration ti
railroad bill. He told the "insur- tc
gents" that they were out of sympa- a]
thy with their party and should em- rj
brace the principles of democracy. tl
A lively tilt ensued when Senator n.
Bailey, of Texas, advised the "insur- f(
gents" to remain in sympathy with the t
regular republicans if they desire to p,
win in the coming election. Other- tl
wise, he said, they should join the fr
democracy. C(
White Baby Found. n<
_ ei
Greenville, May 1.?A white baby, f
evidently^ or 3 days old, was found
- - * 1i
dead m tne suouros acre tuis muming
at 9 o'clock. A negro discovered
a mound of fresh dirt covered over by
a big wooden bucket. His curiosity ^
being aroused, he kicked over the v
bucket and he and another negro r
or
scraped away the dirt and found a
white baby. *
The baby was evidently killed, for
the skull was mashed and blood stains .
were all over its body.
The hole had been dug with a *
pick and the 'officers found an instru- '
ment at the home of another negro
man living nearby, the pick being s
r
muddy and bloody. Bill Brown, an
old negro living in the house, is now
in jail but he says he knows noth- r
ing of the dead baby, but admits that
the pick is his.
tt
The coroner's inquest has been
st
postponed until the matter can be investigated
by the officers. _ 1
There Was a Limit.
An Irish politician had just returned
from a trip abroad. A friend es
met him and inquired: te
"Did you have a fine time Mike?" C(
"Of course I did." ^
"Did you visit the theatre in g
Paris?"
"Sure, I saw all the plays." r
"And did you go to the cafes?"
"Sure, I was in all of 'em."
"Well, tell me, Mike, and did you n,
see any pommes deterre?"
"No, I had the wife with me all the ft
time."?Albany Argus. w

Runaway at Walterboro.
Walterboro, April 30.?The Hon. a]
J. E. Peurifoy was painfully hurt in f?
a runaway here late this afternoon, f
sustaining a broken collar bone and
a rib. Mrs. Peurifoy was rendered

was overturned and all the oc- h
cupants violently thrown out, the tl
vehicle landing on top of them. The ii
occupants were Mr. and Mrs. Peuri- a:
foy, and their little child, Mrs. M. W- a
Davis and Miss Mollie Chaplin. s<
Neither Mrs. Davis jior Miss Chap- t<
lin was seriously hurt, both, however, h

[any Victims of Alleged Fraudulent
Matrimonial Scheme.
Jefferson City, Mo., May 2.?J. A.
ampbell, a wealthy farmer of Moran
county, and his daughter, Mrs.
label Addison, were held to the
sderal grand jury here to-day under
1,000 bonds to answer a charge of
rmHupHnj? a fraudulent matrimonial
cheme. .
Search of Mrs. Addison's rooms,
t her father's home, by postoffice inpectors,
brought to light more than
3ur hundred letters from men in all
arts of the United States, Canada
nd Mexico. Seevral of the letters
ad contained sums of money running
rom $5 to $50 for wedding outfit.
Campbell inserted an advertiselent
in a matrimonial paper about
ix months ago, giving the name of
'ora Johnson. The advertisement
as so successful that the postoffice
uthorities became suspicious, beause
of the many letters, and the arests
followed.
Campbell confessed to-day, but said
e inserted the advertisement "just
Dr fun," and that the replies came
ovfast he was unable to return the
loney as fast as it came in.
"Nora Johnson" was supposed to
e 17 years old,, an orphan, and heirss
to $17,000 in a year. Campbell is <
