Possibly, just at this time, the governor is more proud of his friends IfelP *ban k*s friends are of him. ' h The saddest words jig ' We hear each day: "Please call and pay; Please call and pay." It is time every good citizen was asking himself the question: What . fpr'J am I doing to make life safer in my , Kjyv community? , The city of Florence has placed a k|y license of $1,000 on carnivals visit' ing that city. Other towns could , . profit by the example of Florence. ' The negroes are dying out in the "black belt" more than they are moving out, and no doubt this accounts I?, largely for the decrease of the ne^ gro population in the low country. P-;< The Columbia State will now have ? v ~ to go out of business, as the govergp.-'c nor has decided that it shall not be given any news from his office. And |p yet the newspaper was giving him v some valuable advertising without &-/ charge. Coley doesn't seem to know fa when he has a good thing. ^ i Another murder in . Columbia in which a man and a woman were the jg|f victims! No provocation for the deed fe has been shown, but it is plain that pC'- ther~murderer went off and procured I cartridges and came back and deliberately put an inoffensive man and jfe; woman to death. Life is certainly pp getting cheap in South Carolina. The generally accepted standard ~ ' ? * tv?? rwP t?aO rl_ ior a newspaper is a. wmmu ui ||r ' ing matter for a column of advertis- 8 ?? ing, and this must be maintained if ? R|p,? the paper is to be a success. Yet * there has never been a time when * ||fe? The Herald did not give consider- * ?c. ably more than this. In fact our s py average is about two columns of ^ reading matter for one column of ad- t vertising, and yet some people think * Qf' we are getting rich at this, besides 8 jfe only charging one dollar a year for * subscription. We sincerely hope that the editor of The Bamberg Herald has succeed- 1 - ed in borrowing the money for that * Wr New York trip, as he suggested some 1 time ago. The editor of the Enquirer ( hopes to make arrangements some- * |pi- how to go; but he feels that he will " not enjoy it nearly so much if Knight 1 should not be along.?Yorkville En- 1 quirer. Nothing doing yet, and it begins S- to look like we can't get to the meet- 1 ing in Columbia, to say nothing of the ' l?: New York trip. We'd like mighty ( well to be with "the boys," but luck gpp-- is "agin" us. { It seems to us that it would be a ] good idea if the fire department ^ would practice some, rne town nas spent about one thousand dollars in . equipment, and there will be a fund coming to the department from the 1*/. ' insurance act this year, so our boys ' should take an interest in the department and be ready to fight a fire ' when one occurs as- well as taking care of the apparatus. If the hose and other equipment is not properly looked after it will soon go to rack and ruin. Wake up, boys, and let's have a first-class department. The stores close early now, and there is W * no reason why you should not get out and practice. |pv I % > I * You are not an average man if you don't carry around $34.45 in your pocket. Sorry, but we can't average up these days. But if any friend can supply the $34, we'll rustle around for the .55. Newspapers and other publications in Georgia cannot exchange advertising for railroad mileage, is the opinion rendered by Judge Hines, special attorney for the railroad commission of that State, and his opinion is expected to becom# an order of the commission. It would be a good thing if such a regulation was in force in South Carolina. It would result in great good to the newspaper profession generally. CONSULT THE PATRONS. We have learned that the authorities of the Bamberg graded school are considering the adoption of the two sessions a day plan when the fall term commences. Under this plan the exercises of school would begin at 8:30 or 9 o'clock in the morning and continue until 12:30 when there would be a recess of one and one-half hours to allow the children to go home for dinner. At two o'clock exercises would be resumed, and continue until four o'clock, when school would be dismissed for the day. The idea of the authorities, as we understand it, is to adopt a study period after dinner and thereby insure the preparation of the next day's lessons under the eye of the teacher. Under the present system many children stay on the streets during the afternoon and as a consequence they come to school next day with lessons unprepared. This is all very well, and we commend our trustees and principal for their endeavors to improve the work Df the school. Under ordinary circumstances no doubt we would favor the two sessions plan. It has many admirable features. What we want is more real teaching by the teachers, and if two sessions a day will bring this about it would be a good thing. But, with the graded school building located away out in one edge of town it will be too inconvenient for many children, as the distance is too great for them to go home to dinner and ;ome hack for an afternoon session, ft is more than one mile from our tiometo the school building, and many ither patrons of the school live farther from the1 building than does the svriter. It's all very well to talk ibout how far children walked to school in the old days, but we are irying to improve on those days, and fve can see nothing but failure ahead if the two sessions plan for the Bamierg graded school. If the building lad been put somewhere near the renter of population, it would be vorth the trial, but we see no use n attempting it under present condi;ions. We only learned of this movement n the last day or so, and since that have talked to a number of )2ttrons of the school about it, and jractically all of them are against ;he two sessions plan. We trust herefore that the trustees and prin;ipal will consult the wishes of a najority of the patrons before they inally decide this matter, for we feel sure if adopted it wrill result in a oss of pupils and an injury to the ichool. If the two sessions plan is idopted it means a private school for imall children in Bamberg, for we mow of a number of parents who i3.ve stated that they cannot send heir small children to the graded chool under the two sessions plan. >Ve are after the best interests of he school, and if a majority of the >atrons want two sessions a day, well ind good, but at least the wishes of he patrons should be consulted. Bondsmen Must Pay. Columbia, May 9.?Notwithstandng the fact that Gov. Blease has >aroled Eugene Hogan, Jr., the young nan from Sumter, who was convicted of assault and battery and senenced to five years, later leaving the State, the bondsmen will most probibly have to pay immediately the imount of Hogan's bond, which is ?i,Q4)0. The matter came up in the supreme court to-day, the appeal from i circiut judge's order being dismissid. Judge Ernest Gary had ordered Sogan to appear with his bondsmen it one term of court, the same at cvhich the order was issued. Later in the same term he issued another Drder, requiring Hogan's bondsmen :o appear at the next term. No orler estreating the bond has ever been issued. The effect of the supreme court's Drder dismissing the appeal is to send the case back to the circuit :ourt for such an order; counsel for Hogan's bondsmen made the point that Hogan has recently been parol ed. The court stated this made no difference in the consideration of the estreating of a bond. Hogan's bondsmen are his father, Eugene Hogan, Sr., and his uncle, W. B. Boyle.

Mobile, May 6.?On ' the public road, three miles west of Louisville, in Winston county, Miss., the dead bodies of Cliff Jones and Bruce White, half brothers, colored, were found dangling from the limb of a tree at an early hour to-day. The negroes had been in the employ of John Pearson, a planter, and had been placed under arrest Friday for an alleged attempt to poison the Pearson family, by placing a solution of strychnine obtained from rat poison, which had been used about the place. Several days ago Mrs. Pearson reprimanded Jones for some breach of trust, and this is supposed to have caused the attempted killing. NARROW ESCAPE FROM BIGAMY. Savannah Man Charges He was Duped by "Divorce" Lawyer. Savannah, Ga., May 6.?Primus J. Williams had a narrow escape from committing bigamy. He alleges that he paid a lawyer $28.80 to represent him in divorce proceedings, and that the attorney gave him a legal looking document purporting to be a genuine divorce. The lawyer, I. J. Perlue, it is charged, gave Williams a bogus document in return for the fee paid him, and he now faces charges of conducting a divorce bureau out of court, accepting money for services he did not render, and signing the name of another to a counterfeit divorce verdict. He was arrested yesterday, after being in jail several days on other charges. Williams read in the newspapers about the first arrest of Perlue, and he then made a careful examination i of the paper the lawyer had given I him. He was making preparations to be married at an early date. Piano Contest.
