Those who do not reside p in Bamberg and have borne no ex- a penses in the frequent cleanings, also those who have unusually large squares, have been asked for $1.50 each. This amount has been cheerfully paid by every one whom the committee has seen?with one or two t exceptions. F Some may not understand this tl movement and say that they prefer h keeping their own squares, or may ? ? ? rt/ino r/io trnro nrvt j Si compiaiu (.11 etc uiicn o^uai-to ? ^ uw ? touched on the general clean-up days. Possibly they were not, but 1< remember that a very small band of tl ? ladies take any interest in this neg- ir leeted city of the dead, this same lit- k tie band going twice each year with their few servants or hired men, and b with three or four extra women, sent tl in to help, to put in good condition ( as large a place as the cemetery?all of the driveways grown up in grass ^ and weeds and dozens upon dozens ii I of lots owned by folks who have long f< since moved away, to be Cleaned. Is v it any wonder that the squares of a o | few who live in and near Bamberg n are not reached? These ladies never o touch their squares on that day, they v are put in order at other times, the j' spots which have no loving hearts c: or willing hands to care for them are n given first attention on this day, al- n ways beginning at the front and working towards the back, for the ei sake of the general appearance of the P w place. tl However, if one does not choose to s< bear his part of the expenses, after t< once refusing, he will not be asked h ocroin nthors will inst have to bear w?w-w ? - more than their share. y< Necessarily those who really take tl an interest in their lots will continue to keep them as heretofore as there ti is so much unclaimed ground to be a ^ kept.

'arnegie Makes Gift Through the Churches. New York, February 10.?Andrew j 'arnegie to-day gave $2,000,000 to e used through the churches for the romotlon of international peace, he income of the fund, about $100,00 a year, will be expended by a oard of 26 trustees, representing 11 the leading religious denominaions in the United States. This gift is in addition to the ten lillion dollar foundation establishd by Mr. Carnegie December 14, 910. The income will be used to rganize the moral power of the hurches on critical international uestions, to circulate among tie clergy and to bring about he annual observance of a "F^ace l'*nday." Conferences in America nd Europe will be called to discuss he promotion of peace. When the wading nations abolish war the trusees may devote the income to other hilanthropic uses. Some Old Barometers. Undoubtedly there is a great relaion between the elements and cerain complaints, in the same manner hat some seasons of the year more han others render certain people iable to illness. The, lower we investigate in the nimal world the more prone are its ubjects to be affected by the weathr, says Answers. A cat for as much s three days beforehand feels a comlg storm; a horse's fine nostrils can niff approaching rain in an uncanny lanner. The birds of the air have ut to be watched to see the way in j . . i 'hich they seek their nests of a hint f danger in the air. The very trees and plants tremble i a peculiar manner, before a seere storm. Many human beings are ust as sensitive to the march of the lements, but do not always realize tie significance of their sensitiveness, irithritic, rheumatic and neuralgic eople know at once when bad weathr is approaching. Old wounds make themselves felt t certain times, and the stumps of lembers long since amputated give ain. Medical men have never satisfactorily explained these strange phenolena, neither can they tell why some eople instinctively become restless nd excited, or moody and sullen, beDre a thunder-storm. An Old Negro. Editor The Bamberg Herald: I noice in the Hampton Guardian of 'ebruary 4th an announcement of tie death, two weeks before at his ome in Jasper county, (formerly lampton) of Philip Reid, a negro lid to be 112 years old. As we frequently read of cases of mgevity more or less authentic. I iought perhaps a few lines regardig this case, of which I have personal nowledge, might be of interest. Philip Reid was owned by my husand's father, William T. Speaks, of le Hickory Hill section of Beaufort now Hampton*) county. Mr. Speaks I never knew, as he as killed in the battle of Pocataligo 1 October, 1862, three months be)re the birth of my husband, but his udow, who lived to old age, has ften told me that when she was larried in 184 2 Philip was a man f at least forty years of age, and as possessed of such exceptional ndgment and reliability, and disiplinary qualifications, that he was | tade their 'driver," as the boss egroes were called in those days. His wife was owned by some one | Ise some miles distant, and so im- J ortant a personage was Philip in j le Speaks family, that he was pre- j rnted with a horse for his very own ) ride back and fortli on visits to is wife. After he was freed he lived foi ears on the old place, looking after le affairs of his widowed mistress. My husband says his first recollec- I on of Philip in that he was elderly, | nd that he on more than one ocasion, gave him a "trouncing" for athing in the horse trough, or Crashing off green fruit in the orhard. One of Philip's grandsons, who ? now a student at the Vorhees chool at Denmark, was in our store uring the holidays, and to our inuiries regarding his grandfather, Did us he was somewhat feeble, but till able to get about the house and o light work, and that he insisted !iat he was 114 years old. He may have been correct, but ertain it is that we have accurate nowledge of his being in the neigh orhood of 112 when he died. NETTIE OGILVIE SPEAKS. Bamberg. S. C., February 9, 1914.
