Bamberg's business men must wake up. W?e are not doing what we should in this town, and we must get |to work if we are to hold our own in the matter of progress and pros perity. utner communities are uuu * waiting on us. At last the newspapers of the second district are waking up on the subject of that scurrilous circular letter issued during the congressional campaign. All efforts to find out the author have apparently been dropped since the primaries, and it begins to look mighty suspicious to a great many people. We trust that the newspapers of the district will H , keep up the agitation until they force action in the matter. We are always willing to boom the town along all lines. This newspa$0:\. per is pledged to the growth of Bamberg, and our best personal efforts as! well as our newspaper can always be counted on, but there must be cogpioperation and the spirit of enterprise among our business men. The town generally is not making the most of , its opportunities. * We are called a j |g?*.U: progressive community, and some of j, |||&; us seem content to rest upon that j reputation. But it won't do. We , must get up and hustle. , .The editor of the Walterboro Press and Standard has put himself in a ] pp?r. hole by his answer to the telegram . sent him, for he says he is not willing ? HRr ' for the people of Warren township to ] I .vote themselves into a better county ; even were the name of that county changed to Warren and Smoaks made the county seat. .We would not misrepresent him for anything, but this answer can only mean, it appears to us, that the people of Warren town- ( ship must be kept as hostages for ( taxes in Colleton, no matter how much they could better their condition by a change. This is hardly , magnanimous. He should want the ; very best thing for his people, and , by voting themselves into a better county and having the county called Warren and Smoaks made the county seat, he ought to be glad that the people among whom he was born and reared should thus have the opportunity to better themselves, and he , should say: "Yes, while we hate to lose you, we realize it is for your best interest to go elsewhere, and we are glad that you are to better your condition." But he is selfish enough to say no and thus commit himself to the proposition that he is willing to keep the peopli of Smoaks and Warren township down. YOUNG BOY BULLET'S VICTIM. Charley lie van Accidentally Killed by James Garrison. Spartanburg, Oct. 15.?While sitSgfj ting beside his mother on the front 3,; porch of their home, at Tucapau, a cotton mill settlement near this city, ??' ?' Charlie Revan was shot and instantp: ly killed by James Garrison this afternoon. The dead boy was but six years old, and Garrison was two years ?-* his senior. Garrison's father had been using his shotgun during the day and a shell became caught in it in some unaccountable manner. The youth got hold of it, and while experimenting with the fire arm, it went off with fa tax results. ine wruuci a vciuai was that the deceased came to his death by an accidental gunshot S|; wound. ROLL OF TRAGEDIES. Which Marked End of Persons Coi nected With Death of Lincoln. Through the suicide of a fine ol soldier who was buried here to-da another name has been added to tfc roll of tragedies which have marke the end of several persons connecte with the assassination of Abrahai Lincoln and the capture of his slave John Wilkes Booth. The name that of John F. Shanley, an inmat of the Soldiers' Home in Vinelani who killed himself in a lodgin house in Commerce street, this cit; last week, having despaired of h effort to conquer his craving fc liquor. Not until recently was it know here Shanley was one of the men wh captured Booth. He also had an ii teresting civil war record, as show by newspaper clippings and oth documents produced by his wif< She lives with a daughter at No. 11X street, Passaic, and with the daugl ter came here to-day to attend th funeral. From April 22 to April 2 6, 186 Shanley was a member of the detacl ment, under Lieut. T. B. Dohert: which embarked on the steamer Jon T> A/1/v DA11/\ D1OI? rtrACO?k/1 f Vi D. VJUC 111 DCiic r vootu vu Rappahannock river and traced Boot and Herold to Garrett's farm. Ther Herold was arrested and Booth wa shot. Shanley was a member of th party which brought Booth's bod back to Washington and turned Hei old over to the provost marshal. It would seem as if a strange U talitv had been in store for those wh witnessed the tragedy of April 1^ 1865, or were present at the cai ture and death of the assassii Among the names of those on the lis is that of Mrs. Lincoln, who neve recovered from the shock and wer out of her mind before death relieve her sufferings. More recently, Majc Henry Rathborne has been reportc dying in an insane asylum in Gei many. He was confined after h killed his wife, formerly Clara Hai ris. With her he was a guest in th President's box on the night of th assassination. Sergt. Boston Corbett, who she Booth as he came out of the blazin barn, died in a madhouse in Kansa after he had developed a mania t kill himself. Laura Keene, the ac tress, who helped to care for th wounded President, never regaine her old spirit after the tragedy. Still another whose name may b mentioned in connection with that o Shanley and the rest, is that of 01 iver W. Cooke. He was connects with the government service durin; the war, and on the night of the is sassination was in Ford's theatre am sat close to the stage. When Boot! leaped from the box to the stage Cooke sprang after him and was th first from the audience to do so. H< afterward said his ignorance ,of th' passageway behind the stage prevent ad him from following the assassin Four years ago Cooke, not in ro bust health, but still able to atten< to his duties as a tax official of Sus sex county, was found in the mornin< kneeling at his bedside lifeless.?

Attack of Hookworm. "O, John!" cried the farmer' wife, so Punch avers, "I'm afrai I've taken that dreadful new dfc ease!" "What makes you think so, dear? he asked, alarmed, gathering th frail little woman into his arms an stroking the thinning hair, as sh sobbed out the story of her fears up on his broad shoulder. "Well, she explained, "after have gotten up, dressed myself an the children, cooked breakfast, wast ed the dishes, prepared the childre for school, strained the new mil and set it away to cool, churned an worked the butter, swept and dustec done the ironing, given the baby hi bath, cooked dinner and washed th dishes, sewed all afternoon, cooke supper and washed the dishes, ur dressed the children and put them t bed, and sat down for the evening, am too tired to do any darning, never used to feel so. It must b the hookworm!" After a fashion almost everyon believes in heredity. That is a ma will credit himself for all the virtue he may possess, but he will lay tb blame for all his failings upon hi forefathers. ass? &&Wk p^jFur^unel 10 1*'" intfliuie# +Kn nnaaful on/1 /Utnniminfitincr fni*nitnw ni if u *"iv & v ov vuc v ai viui mi&u ?iim.m^??^ >d * buyer.
