Felder may be a crook but he's
no fool.
' News must be scarce in Columbia
when newspapers there and the cor
Jfo- respondents for out-of-town newspa|
pers feature an ordinary street fight
pp between two citizens.
The Bamberg Herald looks more
prosperous than its editor, according
fcfi to The Columbia State. And the
fe-:' State is right. We are spending all
K g- the money we can get hold of on our
% paper.
jj. ' Bamberg is going to be the educagfe
tional center of the low country.
My With our graded school and the Fit|?-f
ting School constantly developing,
E& this city is bound to attract lots of
jiew people because of our educate:
tional advantages.
?|>r What's the use to be discussing the
gv pardon of Hasty? True he committed
an atrocious murder and should
Rji.' have served his sentence, but the
fep matter of pardons in this State
should cease to excite surprise. The
fi?i?vilest criminal in the penitentiary!
jplP to-day may be free to-morrow.
t There is some talk about the governor
removing the present State
board of education. The board is to
few adopt text books during this month,
and the governor seems to be of the
Pv/: opinion that the'members have been
p-: worried so much by the book agents
renresentine the various publishing
(houses, that a new board will be betgyter
able to pass on the books to be
p adopted.
We saw a man from Bamberg the
other day who reminded us of the
|||; % knight of the rueful countenance,
hut, taking up The Bamberg Herald
*7^. to-day we have concluded that it is
I one of the most prosperous newspa
pers in appearance to be seen anywhere
and that necessarily it is published
in a prosperous county and
town. Everybody in Bamberg is
making money.?Columbia State.
Everybody who believes that Felder
will appear before the dispensary
commission, send us a quarter.

All the quarters you'd get under
this proposition wouldn't pay your
board two minutes this week at the
1 Colonia, even at the reduced rates

Increase in Liquor Drinking.
Atlantic City, N. J., May 23.?
? There is an alarming increase in the
use of alcoholic liquors in the United
States, according to me temperance
committee's report to the Presbyterian
general assembly.
The report says: "The per capita
drink bill in the year 1910 was
$24.17. Multiplying this by 4.6, the
size of the American private family,
according to the census of 1900 (the
estimate for the census of 1910 not
yet being available,) we have
$111.18 as the annual drink bill of
the average American family."
Under the caption, "Cost of
Curse," the report gives a summary
of the amount of liquor consumed
during the last year, placing its total
cost to the consumers at $2,256,324,447.
Work begins this week on improving
the interior of the Johnson hotel.
The old plastering will be knocked
down from the overhead and all the
rooms will be ceiled. Mr. L. B.
Fowler has the contract.

Letter from Mr. Bellinger.
Editor The Bamberg Herald:?Being
on a constant move, taking up
sight seeing, etc., have not had time
to write. Remained at Little Rock
about a week. While there had the
opportunity of visiting the famous
Hot Springs, about nO miles from
Little Rock. I was much impressed
with the U. S. reservation, holding
as the general government does, so
many thousand acres. The government
has been in possession of these
iands for many years, and has and is
spending great amounts of money

buildings, hospitals for the sick soldiers
where they can come and be
taken care of and restore their inir
paired health. Carriage drives, on
fine roads for many miles all through
! the forest and up and over the lofty
hills. I ascended one tall peak that
towers above the silent city some
500 feet below, and what a grand
sight we had of all the surrounding
country, innumerable hills and creeks
and dales; it was inspiring to look
upon. I walked the entire way up
to the very summit, resting whenever
I felt tired, and ever and anon
stopping to gaze out upon the beauti
ful town sinking below us as we
gradually mounted higher and
new objects of interest into view.
The town, Hot Springs, below was
a gem set in the hillsides, so unique
and constructive in its appearance.
We drank frequently of the hot
waters, and drink all that you could
nn VioH Saw tho ostrich
farm, 150 at one sight. What a remarkable
bird in size and strength
and so majestic in its stately carriage;
it seems to recognize its supremacy
over others of its kind. I
saw their keeper mount them and
they ran with great swiftness and security
down the long, rough decline
of sloping hills.
After a long stroll up the hills
and drinks from the hot springs, I
took my young nephew, whom I had
invited to accompany me, on this
- 4.
trip, into a met i e&utuu a.uv,
Frisbey." And oh, my! such a dinner,
and nothing did I enjoy more
than a Western beef steak and of
such large dimensions I fear stating
and yet I ate it with the greatest
relish.
On my way back quite exhausted
from night traveling and being kept
up and loss of sleep, I was taken
with hot fever which continued all
the way, which made me very w-eak,
but met with very kind comrades
who helped me on with my heavy
valise and hui^ed up a stopping
place when I spent a night at Birmingham.
Rested and was much revived,
so thatl was able to resume my
journey the next day, and arrived
about 11 a. m. last Tuesday. By
mere accident, just as I had seated
myself in a trolley, a cousin of mine
came in and recognized me and as
she was going to the same house
where I was to stay we had no
trouble in landing the right place.
I am feeling now quite well, and if
I have time may write again before
I leave for home. Rest assured that
I am greatly enjoying this trip.
With kindest regards for all of my
dear friends far away, I beg to remain
yours truly,
L. N. BELLINGER.

Meeting Board of Control.
The annual meeting of the board
of control of the Carlisle Fitting
Fitting School was held in the city
Monday morning in the office of
Headmaster Guilds. All the members
were present: Rev. C. B. Smith,
chairman; A. W. Knight, secretary;
J. A. Byrd, treasurer; ?H. C. Folk,
chairman of the local board; Rev. H.
B. Browne, Messrs. W. D. Rhoad, J.
F. Rentz, Dr. L. A. Hartzog, and J.
Aldrich Wyman, Esq. Headmaster
Guilds and Rev. W. -H. Hodges were
also present.
Mr. Guilds made his report for the
past year, which was most interesting
and very satisfactory. The past
year has been one of progress along
all lines, and the school is in a more
prosperous condition than at any
time in its history. The outlook for
the coming year is most encouraging,
and it is confidently believed that
the halls will be filled to overflowing
at^the fall session. Already the matter
of a large brick dormitory is being
discussed, and it is proposed to
begin the campaign for the new
building this fall.
Headmaster Guilds was recommended
to the Wofford board of
trustees for re-election, and the following
additional teachers were elected:
W. C. Duncan, D. L. Betts, H.
B. Anderson. Miss Annie Lou Byrd
was elected teacher of music, and
Mrs. Josephine Beach as matron.
The advisability of establishing a
primary department and the employment
of a teacher for this department
was left to the discretion of
the Headmaster.
A number of detail matters were
also attended to, such as looking after
repairs and improvements to
buildings, new seats for the auditorium,
etc., and proper coi^mittees
were appointed to take these things
in hand.
BROOKLAND MAN HELD.
Will Mims Accused of Misusing His
14-Year-Old Daughter.
Lexington, May 27.?Will Mims, a
white man of Brookland was given a
preliminary hearing before Magistrate
Thos. L. Harman here to-day
upon the charge of criminal assault,
the alleged victim being the 14-yearold
daughter of the accused, and was
bound over to the general sessions
court. >
The story of the crime as told by
the several witnesses for the State,
is shocking in the extreme.
The crime is alleged to have been
committed on or about the 10th of
March this year. The alleged victim
was not in court; but those who
testified gave the story as told by
hpr on the second of Anril. when she
appealed for protection.
The defendant looks to be about
50 years of age.
GOV. WILSON "DOCKED."
Acting Executive Gets His Pay While
He Tours Country.
Trenton, N. J., May 26.?Governor
Wilson will be "docked" about $80C
because he has taken off time for his
trip West and South.
The State authorities have decided
for the first time in New Jersey's history
to give the governor's check
during his absence to the acting governor,
who in this case is President
of the Senate Ackerman, a Union
county millionaire.
Governor Fort and Governor Murphy
were absent on numerous occasions
and no one thought of "docking"
them. The decision to "dock"
Governor Wilson has created much
adverse criticism here, particularly
as it is known that he is a man of
very moderate means.
