Thursday, Feb. 19, 1914.
A lawyer introduced the bill reducing
the price of legal advertising.
While he was about it he might have
introduced a bill regulating the fees
of attorneys.
The governor and the mayor of
Charleston have "kissed and made
up." Wonder if they meant what
they have said about each other in
the past? However, they are "two
of a kind." and it is only natural that
they travel together.
Editor J. H. Moore is doing some
mighty fine work 011 the Columbia
Record these days. His editorial
work continues to improve, and recently
some of the strongest editorials
we have ever read have appeared
in the Record. ?
Of course, no doubt, some politicians
would like to see The Herald
put out of business, but we kinder
calculate to be doing business at the
same old stand for some time to
come. We own our building and
plant, and we are not in debt. We
carry plenty of insurance, too.
Bamberg's legislative delegation is
prominent in the general assembly.
Dr. J. B. Black has long been considered
one of the safe and conservative
men in the senate, and Messrs.
J. A. Hunter and B. W. Miley are
continually to the front in the house,
\
where they are prominent in all matters
of importance.
The report of State Bank Examiner
B. J. Rhame, recently issued, shows
that the combined statements of the
seven banks in Bamberg county, according
to the statements made October
21, 1913, amounted to $1,278,t
300.30. In Barnwelb county at the
same date there were nine banks,
covering a much larger territory, and
the combined statements of these
nine amounted to only $799,916.76.
These figures conclusively prove thai
there is no more prosperous- county
in the State than Bamberg.
The testimony so far in the asylum
investigation shows, to our mind, that
the governor wants to get rid of Dr.
Babcock, and is trying to obtain this
result by getting, the lady physician
out first, as it has been stated that
Dr. Babcock would not remain as
superintendent unless this lady physician
was retained. So far the investigation
has developed absolutely
nothing against this lady physician,
but on the contrary, even the testimony
of those opposed to her has
been entirely in her favor. It appears
that this woman is largely the
brains of the institution?a self-sacrificing
Christian character who has
given her best service to the poor
unfortunates. Shame on those who
would attempt to besmirch her character!
An Easy Trick.
Efficiency was the topic that was
being talked at a gabfest in a Washington
club the r>ther night, when
Congressman John G. Rothermel of
Reading was reminded of the declaration
of an esteemed party named
James, says The Philadelphia Telegraph.
The aforesaid James attended a circus
some time since, where one of the
big features of the show was a beautiful
lion tamer. Entering the ring,
followed by the lion, the fair charmer
placed a lump of sugar between her
pretty lips which the lion took from
her with his teeth. Instantly James
sat right up and began to take notice.
"Great stunt, all right," he loudlv
shouted to the performer "but I can
/Tfi it. too!"

The Modern Girl.
We knock and criticise her,
We scold, apostrophize her,
We wish that she were wiser,
Mt>re capable and kind.
Her path we're always stalking
j To criticise her talking,
j Her clothes, her ways of walking,
i Her manners and her mind.
We say, "Oh, highty-tighty!"
i She's frivolous and tighty,
} And all lier ways are mighty
Undignified to see:
She dances and she chatters.
Our golden rule she shatters
And laughs at serious matters
With unabated glee!"
We chide*and we correct her.
We shadow and detect her.
We study and diss^t her.
With all her smiles and tears.
And find, on looking o'er her,
(And learning to adore her).
She's just like girls before her.
For twenty thousand years!
Winter School* for the Unemployed.
Kenosha. Wis., has opened a free
winter school for the unemployed.
This enterprising little city shares
with others the problem presented by
groups of idle men and boys who
drift aimlessly and abjectly until the
spring time. It appears to be the
first to add a haven for the mind
to the customary soup kitchen and
bread line.
A school building has been set
aside for the idlers, most of whom
are worthy but uneducated and without
even a regular trade. They are
taught reading, writing and arithmetic,
bookkeeping, stenography and
other branches of commercial and
industrial service. The majority of
the unemployed men and boys of
Kenosha have enrolled and fwo ^-of
the pupils walked from another town
to take advantage of Kenosha's generosity.
Fully 8 per cent, of the children
in America quit school to go to work
at fourteen years of age. They are
recruits for the army of idleness and
unrest, misery and anarchy which a
regime of closing factories and reduced
output recruits for this country
every winter. These men and
bovs are just as ignorant and un
equipped at the beginning of a new
winter as they were at the close of
the previous winteiq and consequently
the sociological effort of
' Kenosha will he viewed with symI
pathetic interest.

A TRUNK MYSTERY.
Sleuths Suspected Case of Foul
Play.
Chaleston. Feb. 13.?The local
police were certain they had scented
a mysterious case of crime when
Chief Cantwell received a telegram
urgentlv requesting him to meet a
train from Florida without fail as the
baggage ollicials had strong reasons
for believing that a trunk that was
aboard '"contained a victim. The>
wanted to make sure, however, ana
before anv investigation was made.
desired that the local police meet the
train on its arrival here and give ot- (
ficial sanction to the trunk being
opened.
Health Officer Present.
Accordingly, Chief Cant well* arose
early and aroused several detectives
and other officers of the department,
and in the darkness of early Monda:morning
the squad of sleuths went to
the union station in ample time before
the scheduled arrival of the
Florida train, which was shortly before
6 o'clock. Further evidence of
the extent of precaution was furnished
^vlien Dr. J. M. Green, head of the
city health department, reached the
station, for this official had been advised
of the nature of the case confronting
the police.
Upon the arrival of the train, the
baggage men hurriedly told of their
knowledge of the trunk consigned to
their care. The suspected luggage |
had been sent from Miami, but it was
n'ot until Jacksonville was passed
that it had attracted any special at- i
tention to itself. From this point '
a suspicion was borne more and more <
strongly upon the-train crew, and
then a physician was brought into a
sufficient radius of the trunk, and at
once confirmed the opinion that pre-1
vailed, that there was a dead body
within it. It was then that the local
poiice were informed of the situation.
The Trunk Mystery.
When the police approached the
mysterious box, which bore the address,
"Washington, Indiana," they
deemed that the situation demanded
action by the health officer and that
their services would later be needed
in ferreting out the foul play despite
the interval that must have elapsed
since its perpetration. Dr. Green,
however, at once.connected the affair
with the sea, which led the detectives
to think of a stealthy murder on a
lonely beach. But the health officer,
who is an experienced angler, went
cn to explain that a certain fishy odor J
was the basis of his belief. Having
this opinion to rely on, he was some- '
what less excited that the others when
Chief Cantwell gave the order to
raise the lid and let the gruesome
details be revealed.
The Contents.
Having thrown the doors of the car
open wide, the interior of the trunk
v. as laid bare and a most interesting
sight to the naturalist was revealed,
for a valuable collection of Florida
sponges and conchs in indifferent
stages of preservation, were exploited.
Dr.' Green's former experiences
with the life of the sea had served
him in good stead and his subtle
conjecture had proved correct. The
police gladly returned to their routine
duties, and the tritnk and contents
were sent on to Washington,
Indiana, over the united protest of
the baggage officials.
CARING FOR A "STRAXGKR."
Mite of Humanity Left on Door Step
of Florence Couple.
Florence, February 14.?Some
time during last night some heartless
person left on the door step of .Mr.
Fred Koopman's home, in East Pine
street, a two-weeks' old bouncing
baby boy. The person who left the
child rang the bell about 10 o'clock
during a rain storm and then scamprT~*

dressed, and a note accompanied it,
with $6 in money for its care. Mr.
and Mrs. Koopman have the little
stranger and will care for it until
the mothei>can be found, or some
other action taken in the matter. It
is reported that a similar find was
made at the home of another East
Pine street hnbme, but this has not
been confirmed.
This is the third affair of this kind
that has taken place in Florence within
the last three months, the first being
at the home of Mr. Bell in the
Eastern suburbs.
