John T. Duncan will no doubt
agree with Dr. Daniel as to the wick
eaness or i^oiumuia.
In another column we publish a
communication from Hon. J. 0.
Patterson on an important matter.
A few weeks ago we published a letter
from him to Mr. J. F. Carter,
president of the Bamberg Business
Men's League, but it appears that our
people have not awakened to this important
matter of having the channel
of the Edisto deepened so that their
lands adjacent may be drained. It is
jM necessary that our citizens generally
show some interest in this matter,
and we trust they will at once get in
communication with Congressman j
Pattersonx and Capt. Adams of the
corps of engineers.

The Aiken Journal and Review
f says that Mr. J. F. Byrnes, now soli
citor of this circuit and a candidate
-for congress, will receive a large
p - vote in Bamberg county. Of course
this is merely an expresion of opin -J,
, ion, but if allowed to go unchallenged
might create a wrong impression.
? ; Bamberg county has a candidate in
the race for congress, and he will get
? most of the votes in this county,
while we believe Mr. Patterson will
I come next We do not believe from
the reports we get from all over the
county, that Mr. Byrnes will poll
_ many votes in Bamberg county, as
our people voted for him for solicif,
tor and they do not feel like sending
him to congress before he has
served one tefrm as prosecuting officer.

|"Dreams are curious things," remarked
the amateur psychologist, according
to the New York Sun. "Time
IT . does not seem to enter into their
. composition at all. For instance, the
other day I was sitting on the porch
of a hotel with a friend of mine
j smoking after lunch. It was a drowsy
\ day, and conversation lagged. Presently
I saw my friend nodding in his
L chair. He had dozed off, holding his
'.y , lighted cigar in his left hand, which
Ewas folded over his right. His left
hand relaxed, and the end of the cigar
came in gentle contact with the
right hand, inflicting a slight burn.
"'The h? it won't!' exclaimed
| my friend, waking with a start.
"The sentence sounded so incongruous
that I burst out laughing.
'Won't what?' I asked.
" 'How long have I been asleep?'
f *: he asked.
E; " 'Not more than a couple of min;
utes,' I replied.
I " 'It doesn't seem possible," he
I said. 'During that time I had a
dream that nearly took me around
I the world. I sailed for Southampton,
fc-. did England, France, Switzerland and
I a part of Italy then through the
I Orient to India. It was in India that
I I became much interested in one of
K the native snake-charmers. He had
f the snakes crawling all over him and
I. offered me one to fondle. I told him
I I was afraid it would bite me. He
I assured me that it wouldn't, and I
1 took the reptile in my hand. It
I promptly fastened its fangs in me.
K I said, "The h? it won't!" and
I dropped it, and then I woke up.'
"I explained the episode of the
lighted cigar," concluded the amateur
psychologist, "and we both
laughed."
No doubt there will be a large
crowd present at the reunion of old
soldiers at Bethesda church to-day.
Of course the candidates for county
offices will be present in force.

CASHIER IS MISSING.
: Disappearance of Young Georgian

Rome, Ga.. July 20.?Robert
Dougherty a prominent young clubman
and social leader here, has been
missing since July ID. He told his
wife that he was going to Atlanta on
business, and the last she heard
from him was a telegram dated Atlanta
saying that important business
detained him.
Dougherty was cashier of the
Rome Mill, of the Georgia Cotton
Mill Company, H. E. Wells, of Columbia.

An Important Matter.
Barnwell, S. C., July 23, 1910.
The Bamberg Herald, Bamberg.
South Carolina:
My Dear Sir?Ever since I have
been in congress, I have been working
for the improvement, of the Edisto
river with a view of having it
cleared of logs and snags, dredged
and deepened, for the purpose of
making it navigable as high up as
practicable. I succeeded in having a
provision incorporated in the river
and harber act passed at the last
session of congress for the survey
of the river with a view of its improvement
for the purposes of navigation,
and hope to get appropriation
at the next session of congress
for this purpose.
Capt. E. M. Adams, of the corps of
engineers, custom house, Charleston,
S. C., has been ordered to do this
work and I will be glad to have all
persons or corporations in your county
who are interested in this work to
communicate with Capt. Adams and
show their interest in the work.
This is a very important matter
to the people of your county who own
lands or live adjacent to the Edisto
river. To open this river to navigation
will mean the saving to the people
in freight rates on cotton and guano
and other products thousands of dollars
and will go far towards draining
the swamp lands adjacent to the
river which will enhance the value
of the lands for agricultural purposes
and will add much to the health of
the community.
I am anxious to have the support
and co-operation of every man in
your county, and will be glad to have
those interested to communicate with
Capt. Adams and with me on the
subject at once.
Very truly yours,
J. O. PATTERSON.
Anti-Prohibitionist Elected in Texas.
Dallas, Tex., July 24.?Oscar B.
Colquitt, anti-prohibitionist, was yesnf

plurality which will probably reach
60,000. Cone Johnson and William
Poindexter, the prohibitionist candidates,
are practically tied, only about
a thousand votes difference between
them. This is now in favor of Poindexter,
but may change as some
heavy Johnson counties are yet to
come.
Former Attorney General Davidson
is about 20,000 votes behind
Poindexter and Johnson.
The proposition to submit to popular
vote a prohibition amendment to
the constitution has carried by probably
20,000. This presents the situation
of an anti-prohibition Democrat
being nominated with a party demanding
the submission of a prohibition
amendment confronting him.
This was caused by the prohibitionist
split on candidates.
The total prohibitionist vote is
in excess of Colquitt's vote. It is
impossible to give a well grounded
estimate of the results as to the leg"D

cause of the great' interest of the
gubernatorial contest.
For congress in the third district,
James Young, of Kaufman county,
was nominated. In this district a vacancy
was carried by the appointment
of Congressman Russell to the
federal bench by President Taft. R.
M. Livery was elected to fill the unexpired
term and James Young for
the full term.
In the fourth district, C. B. Rani
dell, the present incumbent, was renominated
by a large majority. Congressman
Jack Beall, in the fifth district,
also received a heavy majority
over his opponent.
In the seventh district returns indicate
that Congressman A. W.
Gregg was successful.

RHODE ISLAND DISAPPOINTED.
Census Will not Increase Her Reprensation
in Congress.
Washington. July 21.?Gratifying
as is tb* increase of the population ol
Rhode Island, as shown by to-day's
census returns, the first given out for
a State, the little commonwealth will
be disappointed in any ambition she
may have entertained to add to her
representation in congress. The increase
amounted to more than 118,000.
but this figure is not sufficiently
large to insure an additional representative.
Thus, for at least ten
years more, tne state wiu oe compelled
to get on with two members, as
it has been compelled to do since the
apportionment under the first national
census in 1790. By the present
system Rhode Island, with 428,556
people in the twelfth census, has one
representative to each 214,278 persons,
an average of about 21,000
above the requirement of 193,000
and this surplus is immaterially increased
by to-day's figures.
Tariff on Cotton liaised by Aldrich.
Topeka. Kan, July 26.?In an address
here last night, United States
Senator Joseph L. Bristow declared
that United States Senator Aldrich
forced an increase in the cotton tariff
schedules when the cotton manufacturers
in this country were not
asking for it. Senator Bristow charged
that the increases were made for the
purpose of booming the stock market.
"It is interesting to know," he declared,
"why Mr. Aldrich insisted
upon increased cotton duties when
the mill owners and manufacturers
testified in the hearings before the
ways and means committee that they
were not needed. But, an examination
of the stock issues of the United
States for the year 1909 furnishes
the reason.
"These increases were not made for
the protection of any legitimate
manufacturing enterprises in the
United States, but to boom the stock
market. Last year there were issued
$90,000,000 additional cotton
and woolen stocks, $64,000,000 more
had been previously authorized, but
not issued, and $26,000,000 of new
stocks.
"How much of this stock represented
actual investment, I am not
advised but under the impression
that these increased duties on cotton
goods and the maintenance of the
excessive duty on woolens would give
at least a temporary impetus to the
business, those stocks found a market.
So, these increases, therefore,
driven through by Mr. Aldrich, were
in the interests of the stock gamblers
and speculators, and not in the
interests of legitimate manufacturing
enterprises.
"The duty on cotton goods valued
at more than seven cents per
square yard was increased on an average
of 20 to 25 per cent, in the
face of the testimony of H. P. Lippitt,
representative of the Manufacturers'
Association of New England,
before the ways and means committee,
that the cotton manufacturers
did not want an increased schedule.
All they asked was that the duties be
not reduced, but remain the same."
Money Piled a Foot Deep.
Silver coins and bills a foot and
a half deep were thrown into a tricolored
barrel placed before the pulpit
at Zion City Tabernacle yesterday
by the followers of Wilbur Glenn
Voliva, general overseer of the Christian
Catholic Apostolic church of
Zion City, and successor to John Alexander
Dowie, who marched over
the north shore city and took formal
possession of the buildings which
last week again came into their control
through the action of the federal
court in dissolving the receivership.
It was like a revival of the old days
of Dowie. The call for the free-will
offering preceded the march about the
city, and thousands of men, women
and children filed past the barrel that
stood before the pulpit and cast therein
their offering, ranging from fivecent
pieces to twenty dollar bills.
The Zion band took its place at the
head of the column that formed outside
of the Tabernacle to march
through the town. After the band
came Overseer Voliva and the elders
of the church; and behind these came
the hundreds who composed the
"white-robed choir."
These in turn were followed by the
"junior seventies," the "intermediate
seventies" and the "seniorr seventies."
Those who were too old to
stand the three-mile walk were allowed
to ride in omnibuses.?Chicago

pleaded guilty to burglary in the
criminal court here to-day. He was
sentenced to two years in the penitentiary.
