No a wonder she looks, so young. It If we folks who live in Bamberg don't talk up for it, how can we expect other people to do so. s< Bamberg is the smallest county in e, the State, yet we have seven banks h in the county. The statements show vv that they are solid financial institu- h tions, and which gives an idea of the si prosperity .of Bamberg people. T If the Edgefield blind tiger looks tj like the picture of him published in last week's Edgefield Chronicle, we r( not only agree with that paper that g he should be "uprooted" but he ^ should also be exterminated root and branch. The Edgefield Chronicle is publish- ? ing a list or tne engiDie oacneiurs oi that city, for the information of the U young ladies, as this is leap year. The mo^t interesting and attractive bachelor in Edgefield that we know of is L. Wigfall Cheatham, editor of ^ th'e Chronicle. Why is he not on the p list? g. Above all else, the people should . lr look well to the election of represen- , n tatives in the general assembly this year. Governor Blease seems to have . it no doubt about his re-election, and it ; is stated that he will seek to have elected a legislature which is in symv cl pathy with his ideas. If he succeeds, ^ i the State may be taxed a million dolS( lars for improvements to the present state house, for the governor has not x ti denied saying that if the general assembly passed a bill providing for * * S( these improvements he would sign it. We feel sure that the taxpayers ^ 01 of the State are not willing to nave . this huge debt 'saddled on tnem, and 11 if they do not they had best be ?] CI careful in selecting their representa- . .. lr As State Treasurer Jennings has tt announced that he will not stand for le re-election, there is a strong feeling U in this section that Bamberg county should furnish the next State Treas- tl urer. The friends of Col. Jno. F. M Folk have been discussing his name tc in connection with the position, and X should he decide to enter the race b he will be assured of a strong fol- d lowing to commence with, not only d in the low country, but his extensive ic circle of friends throughout the State ^ would welcome such an announce- E ment. Col. Folk has held the posi- a tion of county treasurer of Bamberg J for many years, and although he has v * been opposed by strong men in sev- d eral campaigns, he was always re- E elected by a large majority. It is b conceded by all that he could not be d defeated for re-election, but he will F not offer for the place, and many of C his friends feel that there are higher b honors in store for him. a World's Highest Clock. q Big Ben is the largest clock in the world. It is on Westminster tower, c London, and was put up in 1858 at a j. cost of $110,000. The great bell ' from which the clock takes its name, and which is made to ring regularly by the clock, hangs by sixteen hundred feet of chain from an oak beam bound in iron plates. It weighs more than thirteen tons and the hammer with which the hours are struck r weighs four hundred and fifty r pounds. It takes two men five hours t to wind Big Ben. Its four faces are e twenty-three feet across and the min- d ute hand jumps half a foot every f move.?London Times. t FIXE MOVING PICTURE. iion is Turned Loose and Killed for D< Biograph Company. a G; Paris. .March 4.?The lion, D'Ar- five agnan, the most ferocious animal in me < ny French menagerie, is dead.

I Gave Life to Save Girl. || New York, March 4.?Two per- p 3ns were Kinea, tnree iatany mjmi and a dozen others less seriously urt in a fire which mushroomed its ay through a four-story apartment & ouse at East Fifty-third street lortly after 2 o'clock this morning. ^ he blaze spread so quickly that | j lere were a few moments only for ? | le hastily awakened tenants to at- t : impt escape.

I Fire Latest Work of Ugly Fight. j| Fort Worth, Texas, March 2.?The, I lysterv of the alleged war against II ev. J. Frank Xorris stirred the g tate of Texas to-day when his home || as partiafly burned in apparently g icendiary fire which imprisoned R imself, his wife and his two children ^ ? a an upper floor in the early morntg hours. They were rescued with I ifficulty. I Norris, pastor of the First Baptist aurch of Fort Worth, has been in Jk| le public eye in the Southwest for l|p* sveral years, beginning an active ggy lare in the crusade which drove race | W' ack gambling out of Texas a few |vj sars ago. Since then Sunday ob- |||| irvance violations have been his articular targets. At the beginning |||| f this year there started an amaz- mgx ig series of apparently deliberate Wjgk atrages against Norris and his lfej| lurch. Late yesterday Norris was idicted on a charge of perjury for le alleged sending to himself and \ le officials of his church anonymous I ;tters concerning the outrages and p-il istifying falsely regarding them. LJI The first suspicious outbreak was n 1 le destruction of the home of Mrs. I | [organ Walls, wife of a former pas- * )r of Rev. Mr. Xorris's church, on \ B anuary 7. On January 9 fire again \ roke out in her residence. The next ji ay the First Baptist church was V amaged $9,000 by a fire of myster>us origin. On January 1 two shots er fired from the outside into the lev. Mr. Norris's study where he sat t his desk. No one was hurt. On anuary 16 $200 worth of silverware ras stolen from Mrs. Wells's resience. On February 4 the First laptist church was totally destroyed y fire and Rev. Mr. Norris's resience was discovered ablaze. On February 27 Rev. Mr. Norris and leorge E. White had an alarming ut not serious encounter with a man rmed with a pistol. The next step was yesterday's indictment. To-day's fire is still under nvestigation. Fire Chief Ferguson aid the blaze started in a small loset under the only stairway in the louse. The flooring of this closet ^as not burned but the fire had ap arently eaten from its inside wall mtward into the rest of the house. T7r?L-nn\i~n Rov Sflvps Train.
