Thursday, June 1,1911. 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. ?Bamberg Herald. 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 for the Press Association.?Newberry Observer. 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. If r - 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 I v./-...,-. iQVQntinor monr handsomp 11 CI C A LJL CI WVi iljj * 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. Montgomery, Aia., May zy. 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. Piano Contest.
