You hear no one in this community defending him these days or commenting on his course in any but terms of disapproval. And he had such a fine chance to make something of himself if he but could have measured up to it. Yes, we intend to be present at the State press association in Columbia and hear the address of Governor Woodrow Wilson, the next president of the United States. And we do hope that Knight, of Bamberg, will be on that trip to New York.?Chester Lantern. Well, if you'll lend us tne money, we might go. There should be expression from the candidates for municipal honors as to their idea of town government. We should have permanent improvements as far as possible. Main street should be paved with vitified brick at least from the depot to the corner at the furniture store, and this will be a wise expenditure, as we will spend more than the interest in a few years doing temporary work. The town election is near at hand, and we'd just like to see a good oldtime mass meeting held, where every voter could attend and express his views as to how the town should be run and who ought to be elected and all that sort of thing. We need to pay more attention to electihg our town officials and more than all we need to give these officials our sup-1 port and encouragement after they are in office. It has become something of a custom in Bamberg to criticise and find fault with the way 01 managing our city aiiuu s, <uiu ao a. j consequence our best men are backward about accepting municipal honors, where there is no pay, little glory, and constant criticism. Let's get out of that habit, and now is a mighty good time. Let us pledge to our city officials our earnest co-operation and support in their work, and if we must disagree with them at times, don't do so in a nagging sort of way. Our city government is of much importance to every tax-payer. The income of the city is now about $15,000, and with no surplus on hand, every dollar must be wisely and economically expended. Good business men are needed, and they can be induced to serve if a lot of senseless nagging is stopped. r Basis of G :h the markets and choose th< Sugar Corn 15c. Monroes Corn, 15c. or two for 25c.

When he does this he is only keeping faith with the people who elected him. It is when he does not live up to his promises that he should be criticised, but he has no praise coming to him when he does that which he is sworn to do. The Honorable Coleman Lightweight Blease and the Hon. Thos. Backout Felder appear to be a pair of four flushers. Tbey were going to tell some awful things on each other, and the Hon. Lightweight was also going to give out some letters which would be just simply "awful" for the attorney general, but so far there is "nothing doing." ^ Maj. Andrew C. Dibble has been elected Probate and Special Referee for Orangeburg county over two opponents, and (that county is to be congratulated that it is to secure the services of such an able and honest public servant. Maj. Dibble is one of the very best men Orangeburg affords, and will make an ideal official. His Bamberg friends are much pleased over the result of the election. ? m ? The status of the case of John J. Jones, who was sentenced to serve ten years in the penitentiary for the killing of Abe Pearlstine at Branchville, is puzzling to many people. Jones is in the penitentiary, but it is stated that he has not commenced to serve his sentence, and he has no appeal before the Supreme Court, the time for perfecting an appeal having passed. If Jones is not a prisoner in the penitentiary, what is he doing there? m m We are afraid that Judge Geo. E. Prince is too tender-hearted to he on the hench and stand between the corporations and the people. At the Barnwell court 12 "good men and true" returned a verdict against the Southern Railway for $50,000 dam ages for crippling an engineer for life. Yet the judge was so tender hearted that he reduced the verdict by $20,000, so that the poor railroad officials who travel around in their private cars will have that much more money to spend, while the rich engineer, crippled for life, with possibly a family to support and no way to make a living, loses it. Was his judgment better than that of twelve men who had heard the evidence and were sworn to render a true verdict? ? TWENTY YEARS OLD.

It was first owned by a stock company, with Henry S. Hartzog as editor. He resigned after an experience of about two years, and the paper was managed by several persons during the next few years, being finally bought from the stock company by Mr. Otis Brabham, who owned and edited it until July, 1899, when it came under the control of the present editor. The paper was not founded originally as a money-making enterprise, but the business men of the town put their money into it simply to boom the town. Whether it was successful or did much good as a boomer Cannot be stated with accuracy, but certain it is that it was not a money-maker, as the original stockholders lost every dollar they put into the company. The paper has grown and prospered some since those days, and its equipment has Increased proportionately. When we bought it the outfit of printing material was hardly worth $500, if so much, and to-day the outfit could hardly be bought for $12,000. It has gone from a Washington hand press and type set by hand to a Mergenthaler linotype machine, which sets all the type for the paper, and the finest sort of presses, all! driven by electricity. Any sort of printing can now be done in the office, the business warranting the installation only last summer of a fine Miehle cylinder press for fine job and book work. There is also a great change in the quarters of the newspaper. The first office was up-stairs in the store of what is now the Bamberg rurniuire & .tiara ware uuiuyaujr, later in the up-stairs rooms now used for the telephone exchange, then it was moved down stairs to the small store now occupied by the restaurant of John Cameros, and from there it was moved about three years ago to its own building, built especially for a printing office and book store. Of what benefit the newspaper has been to the town and county under the present management we leave for others to say As to the future, we shall devote the same energy and efforts to the best interests of Bamberg, and our patrons can be assured that the paper will develop just in proportion to the business given it. We have faith in the future of Bamberg, and have shown that faith by installing one of the very best equipped printing plants in the State. It seems only fair that it should be supported by the business interests of the town. > ' and Perfect of our many hundred good th Grape Juice in small bottles, 10c. per bottle, or 3 for 25c.

Blease attempted to create a , sensation last Thursday by giving out a statement condemning the action of a committee from the board of trustees of Winthrop college in awarding the contract for plans for the new building at Winthrop to a Charlotte firm of architects. The governor stated that he would en- , deavor to have the board of trustees or the committee repudiate the contract, and wanted to call a meeting for that purpose last Monday, but could not do so, as President Johnson was out of the State. The committee . who awarded the contract to the Charlotte architects are of the opinion that the governor has nothing to do with the matter, and state they 1?+ +Vi?k />rmfront in nrvmneti tion with l/UV VVUV* WW architects from this State. The governor bases his opposition on the ground that there are competent architects in this State who should have been given the contract. ?^ Barnwell Baptist Association.

Chattanooga, Tenn., April 6.?Tlie case of the government against ,"40, barrels and 20 kegs of coca cola," was decided in favor of the Atlanta Jf {/rp beverage in the federal court here ^ this afternoon. In ruling on a motion for pre-emptory instruction, Judg^ Sanford held that caffeine Is- not an added or deleterious ingredi- . ent of the drink. He overruled the 'i-p motion on points relating to the mis- ifeJsB branding feature of the allegation, ~ '"Ss hnt counsel for the government J? moved to dismiss the case on these "J points. A verdict-was returned in Y?|m favor of the defence. Federal counsel entered a motion of appeal to the United States Cir- V^?J cuit court, at Cincinnati. The coca cola case has been one of : the most important eve!" tried in the ; Mh federal court in the South, and the ? cost of the litigation has been enormous. It is said $200,000 will not cover the expenses. Both sides ^ have had experts from all sections . of the country, the most eminent sci- . mtists, principally chemists and physicians. The government has spared ^jj ao expense in the effort to prove its contentions and the coca cola people vigj tiave been equally liberal in securing * sxpert testimony. . ' W J? Sermon?J. D.
