It is not long until the town election,
but candidates are very shy,
and our people generally do not
seem to be taking much interest in
the matter.
If the people of Bamberg don't
v . , take some interest in the matter, it
seems that the municipal election will
go by default. The election is only
* few weeks off.
The train from Charleston to
Bamberg last Saturday night took
about four hours to travel 76 miles.

Chief of Police S. A. Hand has

" out the main ditch which drains the
town. This ditch runs through town
gand down into Lemon Swamp. He
kv has also cut a new ditch, and he
states that the work will be worth
a lot to the town in the matter of

1 Trash Cans on Street.
Ife- Wednesday afternoon of last week
there were placed on the streets a
number of trash cans. Several are
V on the main business street, and it is
hoped our people will use them and
^ thus avoid the heretofore unsightly
.; appearance of the street caused by
papers and trash being strewed
around promiscuously. The ladies
i|- of the civic league bought a dozen
of these cans and had them put on
' .the streets, and they are to be con;'
gratulated on this forward step
toward clean streets. But the cans
are worthless unless they are used.

Case Against Eagles Dismissed.

m? Sumter, March 28.?After hearing
arguments in the injunction proceedings
against the Eagles' club and the
Bank of Sumter, lessee of the club
rooms, Judge Devore dismissed the

New Outfit Purchased.
At a meeting of the commissioners
of public works held last Friday
night, propositions were accepted
for a 50 k. w. Westinghouse generator
and a 75 h. p. Harrisburg en
gine. The engine and generator are
direct connected and there will be no
belting to the outfit. The engine
and generator are to be delivered in
eight weeks, which will mean that
the outfit will be installed at the
power house about the first of June.
This will be quite an addition to our
present lighting facilities, as it gives
an extra engine and generator in case
of accident, and the expense of running
this smaller outfit will not be
so great. In fact it was bought to
run the light load of the plant.
Want Train Continued.
Through the efforts of the business
league, a petition was circulated here
this week asking the railroad company
to extend the train now running
from Blackville to Augusta, to
Branchville, leaving ithe latter town
early in the morning and returning
at night, thus giving Bamberg people
a good part of the day in Augusta.
It is now impossible to go to Charleston,
Columbia, or Augusta in the
morning and return the same day
and have any time in either or tnese
cities to transact any business to
amount to anything. The railroad
certainly should give Bamberg better
schedules.
A Bank on Wheels.
A bank on wheels is the latest in
Patterson, N. J. It is fireproof, bulletproof
and is also said to be burglarproof,
and can travel 50 miles an
hour, says The New York Tribune.
This auto bank is expected to make
radical changes in the banking business,
especially in the outlying districts.
It is the property of a trust
company in this city.
The car is fitted with a desk and
office equipment, including compartments
for books, checks and papers.
A solid steel safe is built in one corner
of the machine. Officials of the
trust company are of the opinion that
by sending the car about the country
afiumber of depositors would be
convenienced, especially those who
have no place for keeping caSh or
other valuables.

Lawyers Up Front.
Senator William Pierson Fiero of
Catskill, N. Y.f was seated with others
about the enormous fireplace in
Keeler's hotel, Albany, N. Y., on a
cold night when he told this story:
"I remember 30 years ago when I
was a lawyer, there were about 15
or 18 of us?all. lawyers?seated
about a fireplace much like this. It
was a raw, wet night. A bedraggled
stranger, wet to the hide, came in,
tried to get accommodations and was

nearest other place was a mile away.
Shivering, the granger looked at
the fire, but we*formed such a solid
line about it that he could not get
near it. Finally one of the lawyers
in a spirit of frivolity, turned to him
and said:
" 'My friend, are you a traveler?'
" 'I am sir. I have been all over
the world.'
" 'You don't say so! Been in Germany,
Egypt, Japan and all the countries
in Africa and Asia?'
" 'All of them?been everywhere.'
" 'Ever been in hell?'
" 'Oh, yes, been there twice.'
" 'How did you find things there?'
" 'Oh, much the same as here?

INVENTIONS OF THE AGE.
"Old Timer" Discusses Battleships,
Airships, and Aeroplanes.
Wanderer's Rest, March 27.?
Where are we at and whither are we
drifting? A five million dollar battleship
as a target and now lies on
the bottom of Chesapeake bay, is
the latest news from the front and it
sunk by guns considered obsolete
and to be replaced by more powerful
ones. The ones used at a distance of
6 and 7 miles that pierced solid
steel eight inches thick and did the
greatest damage on the opposite siae
seems like great guns to us in this
neck of the woods, but to the knowing
ones are too weak to do battle
with the great dreadnaughts costing
eight and ten millions of dollars now
in use by the great navies of the
world. Great Scott! Could our
forefathers who fought with Perry
and oithers of his day wake up and
see the modern ships of battle they
would feel like 50 cents in a cash
vault, but great seventies, a five
million dollar target, a voodooed one
at that, so costly a few years ago and
did service at Santiago, Cuba, is all
the good remembered, now a worthless
hulk in the bottom of the sea, where
an old man of peace-loving qualities
in his heart thinks all of its kind
should be, and sudden destruction to
men or nation who offered to build
another. How is this for the tax
payer? Soon all the wealth of the
nations will be in ships of war, each
nation looking with eager eyes to
find a weak place in the other felirk-nr'e
malra nn anH if fnnnd then the
work begins at a safe distance, say
50 or 75 miles, each one sending a
wireless to know if the other is hurt
much, for it will never do to squan-.
der so much in a free fight for all,
and only fools rush where angels fear
to tread, as at the presenf rate of
improvement in explosives nothing
will stand in its way.
Then there is the air ship soon to
sail over every sea, land, and hamlet,
and the end of all is not yet, for they
can send to destruction perhaps
whole fleets, garrisons, or cities in a
night. That makes one on the outside
see peace, sweet peace, written
in the sky, and have little fears for
the future. Then men are only
grown-up boys at best, and pamper
them a little, well wine and dine
them, makes the old love of noise and
adventure of the boy return and
reckless waste and daring deeds one
of his greatest hobbies, all under the
same strain, it is necessary to keep
up with the other fellow if his face
rirwaa traf hla/?lr hia trniisors torn, a
finger gone, and he has only one suspender
left, as he ambles home and
to anticipate a parental storm, exclaims:
"Gee, didn't we boys have a
time!'" and say, "Pop, that package
of cannon crackers you gave me
-J- iV. VJ ~~? nil nn/4 T
UlctUtt tilt; UlggOBi tiuioe UI ail, auu x
crowed over Jack Stone because his
made no noise at all, and then I had
to lick him, and I gave him a good
one." Now parental pride forgives
all else and the old man slaps his
boy on the back and says: "You are
a chip offen the old block, my boy,
and some day may be president." The
boy is made happy, and he is content
to live oh scant rations and go
barefoot for a month to make up for
it. So with the people perhaps, as
each one with a spark of love for
home and country wants to be on the
winning side if a few thousands do
go to bed each night supperless. We
have had the noise and only five millions
thrown away in making it.
Then there is more news: An
Aiken dispatch says a farmer was
driven out to his farm 16 miles in
20 minutes in an aeroplane, settled
with his hands and back in no time
in the city. Three cheers for the
farmer. He will soon be with the
best in the land, but one down this
way don't like gasoline as a motive
power for an aeroplane, and will wait
until they learn to use compressed
air to. propel it, which will be done
he is sure, and there is plenty of it
everywhere and won't give out, but
the gasoline might and what then?
OLD TIMER.
Carlisle Commencement.
Headmaster J. C. Guilds and the
other members of the faculty of the
Carlisle Fitting school have already
begun preparations for the annual
commencement exercises, which are
to be held Saturday, Sunday, and
Monday, May 27th, 28th, and 29th.
The commencement sermon will
be preached at Trinity Methodist
church by Rev. R. S. Truesdale, pastor
of Central Methodist church at
Spartanburg, who will also address
the Young Men's Christian Association
on Sunday evening.
Dr. Howard Lee Jones, pastor
of the Citadel Square Baptist church,
Charleston, will deliver the literary
address, and as Dr. Jones is one of
the foremost orators, not only in
South Carolina, but in the entire
South, our people will have an exceptional
opportunity in hearing
him. Saturday evening, May 27th,
j the annual exercises of the literary
societies will take place.

NEWS AND NOTICES.
That rainy Sunday, March 26th,
1911.
We had only about a third of the
regular Sunday-school attendance
Sunday on account of the rain. Our
monthly mission offering was postponed
until next Sunday. Let us
make it the best missionary offering
of the year.
Pastor Frier talked to a small congregation
on Christ crucified the divine
magnet of the gospel. There
were no other services during the
day on account of the regular unceasing
rain.
The social committee of the B. Y.
P. U. gave a social to the members
of the union at the pastorium on '
Friday evening. Quite a crowd attended,
and the special feature of the
evening was "A walk through the

Ulrich's Attack Justifiable.
Philadelphia, March 27.?Booker
T. Washington, the negro educator
who was attacked and beaten-up in
New York last Sunday night after it
had been charged he was prowling
around the hallway of 16% West
63rd street and for which alleged attack
Albert Ulrich, a resident of the
apartment house, has waived a preliminary
hearing, to-day emphatically
declared that he believed Ulrich was
justified in attacking him under the
circumstances.
After making this admission Washington
intimated that all future proceedings
against Ulrich would be
| dropped, but declared this was a
j matter to which his lawyers would
attend and he could not be sure that
they would allow him to retire from
the prosecution. '
"In looking upon the attack after
seven days from its occurrence," said
Washington, "I believe that Mr. Ul|
rich was justified in attacking not
only me, but any other man under
similar circumstances. I was in the
hall of the house and was peering at
the name plates on the doors in an
effort to find one of my business acquaintances.
After the charges had
been brought I learned that Ulrich
( had a daughter ai^ that several efforts
had been male to kidnap her.
There seems to be little doubt but
that Ulrich thought I might be a
kidnaper. If he did he was perfectly
justifiable in attacking me. No
man could have done otherwise under
the circumstances. I have no personal
feeling against Mr. Ulrich. To
my mind he did the manly thing."
"But will you continue the prosecution?"
Washington was asked.
"That is something I cannot answer.
The whole matter is in the
hands of my attorneys. They may
feel that the case should go to the
end to prove that I was not peering
through keyholes as has been intimated."
Washington spent to-day here as
the guest of John S. Durham, a
negro lawyer. He also delivered an
address at the Broad Street theatre
on "The Moral Development of the
Race; Obstacles and Progress."
He was very cordially received and
in the course of his address declared
that the negro was an absolute necessity
to the white man and 'that
they must take their places side by
side and co-operate.
In closing his address Washington
said: "Never until the last few days
did I know I had so many warm,
?fm'nn/lo o mnncr
ecLiliedL, UC V Wtcu 1UCUUD UJUUVUO wuv
white people of the north and south,
not to mention the hosts of those of
my own race. It has left me with a
new feeling for all my fellowmen and
better than ever before I can say I
have hatred for no man."

Deputy Sheriff Hunter, of Bamberg,
Weds Georgia Girl.
Savannah, Ga., March .27.?He secured
the marriage license 15 months
ago and his fiancee has been willing
ever since, but the opportunity for
them to get together in the presence
of a minister or magistrate was lacking,

Hiers, of Bramy, this State, were
forced to postpone their nuptials until
they met in Savannah.
The ceremony was performed by
Justice of the Peace P. S. Vangeisen,
