|J Thursday, October 20, 1910.
jj|f We might as well be plain about
it. 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.?

Young Actor Drowns.
Wilmington, N. C., Oct. 16.?-Rob
?rt Barton Pahr, an actor, wa
irowned to-day while surf bathing a
Wrightsville Beach, near this city
He was caught in heavy; undertow
and though several men made desper
ate efforts to save him, the young ac
tor was swept out to sea. His bod;
has not been recovered.
His father and mother reside ii
Baltimore.
Robert Barton Pahr was leadini
man in "The Sins of the Father1
company which is now making
Southern tour.
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.
