If any bitterness was engendered
in the county primaries, it should be

Let us try to make this fall the
best one for business Bamberg has
ed
ever known. Let ali the business
3.E
men co-operate to this end, for every
re
one of us will profit. Everything pf
that helps Bamberg benefits every in- j
terest here.
We congratulate the successful
candidates in this county and symw<
pathize with those defeated. BamW'
berg will have a fine set of officials,
as usual, and some mighty good men ^
were defeated. All couldn't be elect,

We understand that we were criti- m<
cised some on account of an editorial ]
paragraph in The Herald last week. '
The language was not exactly clear, ,
be
a result of working in too much of a
Fi
hurry. We have been very busy recently,
and as a consequence have

How Rain Bores Holes.
w<
When rain falls it does not ac- sa
tuallv soak int.o the earth, but bores
its way in, forming tiny tubes. These ga
tubes are so small that it would be th
impossible to insert a hair in one of he
them without bursting its wall. Some sk
times the tubes are bored down to a th
depth 6f four or five feet. When
the surface dries the water evaporates
from the tubes just as it
would from a pipe. If the tube is in
twisted it takes longer for the water
to evaporate. If one takes a T1
rake and stirs the ground after each pr
rain he brakes the tops of the tubes m:
and the water will stand in them tor pi;
months. In this way the farmers
of the West, on the semi-arid lands,
store the rainfall one year and raise he
a crop of wheat every other year? w]
there being sufficient water in two ag
years, but not enough in one to raise
a crop.?Harper's Weekly. pi

a'v
ter his alleged confession of the as- ^
sault on a young white girl who was
found unconscious in a ravine near
here to-day prevented a probable
lynching and another outbreak of
race troubles here.
There is little fear of further
trouble here unless the five negroes ^
arrested last week and placed in jail
3.S
at Marietta are brought back for
trial to-morrow. Feeling is running

A Large Contract.
Orville Wright said the other day
Dayton:
"Our aim is to make flying safe,
le important thing is not now to
oduce aeroplanes that will go 150
iles an hour, but to produce aeroanes
that won't fall down."
Mr. Wright smiled.
"I'm reminded of a flying story,"
! went on; "a story about a man
10 called at a biplane selling
;ency and said:
" 'My older brother bought a biane
here last month. You told him
anything broke you'd supply the
issing parts.'
" 'Yes, well?' said the manager.

s Work Starts oil Greenville & Knoxville
Railway This Month.
? Greenville, Sept. 5.?From an of
ficial source, it is learned that the
- work of extension on the Greenville
, & Knoxville Railway will begin with^
in the next 30 days. Within the past
week engineers have completed the
- survey from Davenport to Gap Creek,
1 a distance of 12 miles. This gap is
- at .he top of Saluda ridge and the
route laid out by the engineer is on
> a grade of 68 feet to the mile. This
j is considered a remarkably low grade
t for a mountain road and is an agreei
able surprise to the promoters.
The Gap Creek route is the lowest
r across the Blue Ridge mountains bet
tween Richmond and Atlanta. Re
- cent developments certainly mean
that the Knoxville road will be put
through within the next 12 months.
YOUNG MEN SENT TO GANG.

f
t Manning, Sept. 6.?J. W. Barineau
t and N. Hughes, two young white
. men, were up before Magistrate D.
J. Bradham this afternoon on a
? charge of larceny of some personal
. property from the hotel at Alcolu last
f Wednesday. They pleaded guilty and
were sentenced each to a fine of
. $15 or 15 days on the chain gang.
? Not having the money to pay the fine,
5 they were sent out to the gang. They

i and had been working in tne lumber
. mill at Alcolu. While working in the
t mill they had boarded at the hotel.
MISUSE OF MAILS CHARGED.
Man Arrested for Working Alleged
Fake Land Scheme.
Lake Charles, La., Sept. 7.?
Charged with misuse of the mails in
' connection with an alleged fake land
' scheme, C. M. Fletcher, who professes
1 to be an artist, and claims Chicago
as his home, was arrested here -to
day by United States Marshal B.
Ingouf and a postoffice inspector
from Beaumont, Texas. . He will be
held in jail pending the next session
of the Federal grand jury.
Fletcher, who has been living here
for three months in a cottage north
of West Lake, is said by officers to
have been receiving letters at Sulphur
and other near-by postoffices in
reply to the advertisements in
Northern papers of the River Lumber
Company and the Bayou Oil Company,
one of which offered Louisiana
1 timber lands at ten cents an acre.
A Floting Farm.
Jenus Soeby's "floating farm" is
one of the famous sights of the Columbia
river, writes a contributor
to the Wide World Magazine. All i
the buildings are supported by three
raftes made of huge pine logs. Soeby,
a veteran of the Spanish American
war, got the idea of a floating house
boat when travelling in China and 1
Japan, and when he returned home i
after the war he built three rafts on ,
the Columbia river, and on these he
erected a house and a warehouse to
keep nets and boats, chicken pens, 1
and so on; he also made a garden in 1
which he raised enough vegetables i
for the use of his family. Soeby's ,
farm and inn, floating serenely on
the water, soon became a favorite
headquarters for fishing parties. 1
Here they were housed and fed, and 1
at night Soeby would play on his old i
violin for their entertainment. He ,
also gave musical lessons. The
"farm" was moored in front of the
property of Mr. C. E. de Long, who 1
charged Soeby fifty cents a month 1
rental. When Soeby did not pay his <
rent for two years de Long secured <
a judgment and a writ of ejectment (
from the judge of the superior court,
but when the sheriff attempted to enforce
the order the water was too 1
low to mov^ the rafts. Recently, af- 1
ter a iresnet, me waiei iusc, emu
George Johnson, deputy sheriff, was
sent to remove Soeby's property. He
hired a river steamer and crew of
half a dozen men, pulled up the an- !
chors of the rafts, and towed this <
unique floating habitation half a mile
down the stream where it was an- <
chored, and where Jenus and his wife ;
still live.
New and Novel.
"I've got a ripping idea for a moving
picture film. Something absolutely
new and novel." <
"What is it?" asked the excited
manager.
"Let us have a scene showing a
young woman doing the housework
while her mother is trumming the
piano or manicuring her nails."?
Chicago Record-Herald.
Which?
"Remember, Bridget," said the
lady to the new maid, "there are just
two things I insist upon: truthful- i
1 ness and obedience." i
"Yis, mum," said Birdget, "and
when yez tell me to tell the callers
that yer out whin yer in, which shall ;
it be, mum truthfulness or obedience?"?Ladies'
