" j ' ' ; yhjg I BOHEMIAN" BATHS AND FOOD. : Delectable and Cliaracteristic Dishes Offered at Famous Health Kesorts. Carlsbad, Marienbad and other of the Bohemian watering places have i some very excellent restaurants, with tempting foods to lure and tantalize the patients taking the cure and on diet. It seems if it might all be done on purpose to afford the doctors an excuse when the patients do not get well. Carlsbad, a town ruled entirely 1 by doctors, is perhaps the most famous health resor^ in the world, but just why nobody can explain unless there, as at Marienbad, royalty started the patronage, and sheeplike peo, pie fell over each other to follow. But if a person goes to these places to eat and have fun and not to be cured his visit is a crowning success. , He will have to pay the cure tax and music tax just the same, however? $4 for the former and $2 tcx $6.50 music tax for every person occupying I a first class hotel room. Among the tempting dishes that abound in these Bohemian baths are fine, plump partridges, shot on the highlands of Tepl; roast venison, firm ' fleshed trout from the mountain streams, roast beef, mutton. Prague ham and the little Carlsbad chickens. Zander is a kind of grayling that looks like a perch. Fogash is a Danube fish, which is usually grilled. Both are delicious at Carlsbad and Marienbad. Nowhere else can 6uch crumpets be found as in'Bohemia. Scarcely less delectable are the muffins stuffed iom HtVtor HiohoQ in v>uu occu jaiu, wuv* ... which Bohemia excels are dumplings of cheese, apple tarts,, apricot jam, cream and ham and eggs. Then the famous Pilsener beer and the noted Hungarian wines are everywhere in evidence. A suite of rooms at the Kurhaus, in Marienbad, is where the late King Edward used to give his noted dinners on the birthday of Francis Joseph. Boiled eggs, lean ham, compotes and fogash are the leading foods of Marienbad. But the foods and conditions most typical of Bohemia are not found at their best in these watering places crowded with visitors. Prague is more interesting, if you are studying the country and its people. A bill of fare at Prague will contain such toothsome dishes as lentil soup, fogash fish, Prager schinken, i omleta royal, telec filet 6pecarcky, ledovy creme and Americky compote, which last, by the way, tastes better than the original. The representative house, the Blauerstern and other of the fashionable Prague restaurants are thronged with coffee drinkers every evening between 5 and 7 o'clock. Here you can listen to surpassing music of native talent?a scherzo by Dvorak, a symphony by Smetana, some new symphonic poem by Josef Suk and a typical composition of Sdenko Fi binch. Thus Prague is also of importance as a musical centre. The ' Sevcik school of the violin was locat( ed in Prague until it recently moved to Vienna. But gastronomically , Prague is famed principally for its i Prague schinken and compotes. Not a Billet. The repeal of the much-arguedabout Panama. canal tolls brings to mind an excellent story of Col. Goethals, the moving spirit in the construction of the canal. "I got your letter, colonel," he began, "and I came to?" He got no further, for the colonel, with uplifted eyebrows, cut in: "Letter? Letter? There must be some mistake. I have written you no letter!" "Oh, yes, colonel," repeated the , man. ''Ive got it here. It's about the > work down at Miraflores. Now, you ? see?" Again the colonel cut in: "Oh, I see! But you misled me. . You spoke of my letter. You meant, [ of course, my orders!" i The colonel's blue eyes stared coldly at the argumentative man, who l suddenly feeling that the conversa. tion was at end, "faded away."? Answers. The Only Condition. . Bernard Shaw, who, with charac( teristic impetuosity, has jumped into L the music hall discussion, was once asked by an American impresario to go on a lecturing tour in the United States. | "There are," the impresario assured him, "only two great lecture attractions remaining to be exploited in the United States. You are' one of 1 them." > "And who is the other?" Mr. Shaw ilSJVCU. ^ "The German emperor," was the reply of the impresario, who was en1 gaged on the process known as "buttering." '"Then," said Mr. Shaw, "111 go on t this lecturing tour you suggest on one t condition." 1 "And that is?" asked the impresai rio eagerly. 1 ''That I appear on the same platt form with his majesty!" replied Mr. Shaw firmly. 1 "VOTE FOR DAD." Unusual Campaign That is Being Marie in Kansas. A strange political campaign is being carried on throughout Kansas by Mrs. Irma Doster-Farnsworth and Mrs. Chase Doster, says a Topeka letter. When Chief Justice Frank Doster, of the Kansas supreme court, decided to run for the Democratic nomina- < tiQn for the United States senate, his daughter and daughter-in-law were his first enthusiastic supporters. The idea of -using, their musical ability in his political race originated with them flrirl was well under way before their father knew it. Their method is to give an open-air concert inter- j spersed with two-minute political speeches. "We are not traveling in the inter- i ests of a cure-all for humanity's phy- i sical ills." she tells the denizens of each town. "But we are interested in all political ills, and have come to you in the interest of our father, Judge Frank Doster. of Topeka. He is known to most of you. You stood by him in old populist days and elected him chief Justice of the supreme : court of Kansas. He is counting on ^ . --- - J v--. v:? - Viri you to siariu uv mill uun, iui mc United States senator. "It is impossible for him to reach all parts of the State, and he regrets that he cannot be here himself and talk to you. I told you we were in- 1 terested in political remedies. That is a subject which has always been first in Judge Doster's mind. ( ''You will remember how some years ago his political doctrines were ridiculed by the conservative minded, but all the ideas he then advanced are ; now incorporated in the platforms of nearly all political parties and that many of them have already been enacted into laws in Kansas. As you all know he is an advanced political 1 thinker. But there is one thing that Judge Frank Doster cannot do and J that is to sing his own praises, so we, his two daughters, have come to do it for him.- It is such a thoughtful, farseeing man, one with the sound political judgment which Judge Doster has shown himself to have been, 1 whom Kansans want to represent ^ them in the United States senate. So please vote for "Dad." 1 The programme continues and at the close Mrs. Doster-Farnsworth makes a speech confirming her sis- j ter's reasons why "Dad" should go to : the senate and announces that "liter- | ature" concerning Judge Doster's candidacy will now be distributed. < The two boys pass out Doster political literature and are glad to have j the fun of being part oPthe excitement. A copy of the poster spread 1 throughout the State by the two feminine campaigners, is here shown.

The young women are defraying their own expenses and are glad to be of service in their father's campaign. Too Strong. Mrs. Van Alen Thompson, whore entry into the country, gave her much difficulty with the customs officials, was recounting her experences to a few friends in Boston. She said: ''It was all very unpleasant, but not the least -unpleasant part was the . attitude of the customs officials. I hope they don't intend to be as rude as they appear to the returning traveler. "But," continued Mrs. Thompson, philosophically, "I suppose it would be difficult to be popular as a customs inspector. Everybody dislikes these poor men. Everybody feels toward them like the old skipnpi\ "This skipper, after undergoing several hours of suspicious crossquestioning from two inspectors re- : , garding his cargo, was at last leaving the wharf, when a young official, unaware of his previous grilling, accosted him. " 'Have you anything to declare, , sir?' he demanded, sharply. "Furious, the old skipper glared at the young man, and shouted: " 'Yes, young man, I've a good deal to declare, but I'd be ashamed to say it before a boy like you. You're too young to hear what I would like to declare!" ----- vvis;4m-- -iL > ' > TO THE PEOPLE [ . OF BAMBERG CO. My attention has been called to an advertisement inserted by my opponent, Mr. R. M. Mixson, in some of the county newspapers in which he states what he claims to be his record and assumes to state what has been done by me in Congress. In the few speeches I have been able to make in the district this summer I have refrained from criticising the record of my opponent except in-sofar as criticism was incident to a reply to his remarks. I do not know that it is necessary to reply to this newspaper article and I do so only hecause it is aDt to mislead the Deo pie as to public measures. He criticises appropriations secured by me fftr river and harbor improvement. In the Democratic caucus I opposed public building bills . and bills appropriating money for river and harbor improvement because I believed economy in these measures would increase the chances . for road legislation in which I was vitally interested, but when the majority of the party voted to bring in ] these bills and other districts were securing appropriations I determined to secure for this district what it was entitled to. At the request of truck farmers on the islands in Beaufort I secured an appropriation to im- . prove Archers creek. Before that improvement the only way in which they could ship their truck to Savannah was by the steamers large enough to go to sea. This improvement gave them an inland waterway which could be traversed by small boats and was thus an injury instead of a help to the steamboat lines. The appropriation for .the inland waterway off the ?.oast of South Carolina was to connect up the inland waterway from the South to the North, so as to enable us to ship our products to the North on barges and cheaper, boats instead of shipping them in the steamships going to sea, and in return we could receive from the North the commodities we need It meant competition for the steamship lines that now send their ships to sea and also competition for the railroad companies. If, as Mr. Mixson says, he has been an official of a railway company for twenty years, he should know that the more competition there is with railroad companies, the cheaper will be the freight rates. He criticises the soil surveys of the department of agriculture. Prof, tfarper. of Clemson college, writes ihe departriient that these surveys are proving of great value to them in their efforts to destroy the wireworm and other destructive insects, but of course is mistaken, and Mr. Mixson right. In his own county the board of education wanted a map of school districts and before they received the soil survey map the lowest bid they had for the work was from Mr. R. C. Mixson. After Mr. Mixson secured one of these maps he said it would enable him to reduce his bid several hundred dollars and did so reduce it. Certainly it saved Barnwell county that much. He criticises my securing $20,000 for road improvement in my district when no other district in the St$ie could secure a cent. The terms upon which this money was appropriated were fixed by the department of agriculture and not by me. As I found it I offered it to the people in the district. Only one county found itself in financial condition to accept it, but the conditions stated by Mr. ML1XSOI1 3r6 I1UI L'Uiicv;i. nc Uiioi sents it stating that the appropriation of the government would be consumed by the high salary of the road engineer in charge. The truth is, as I have before told Mr. Mixson, that the salary of the engineer does not come out of the fund but is paid by the government outside of the fund. He misstates the manner in which the work will be done and says that extravagant prices would have to be paid for everything. If the chaining is used extravagant prices wouTd have to be paid to the county. If It is not used then the prices paid would not be extravagant because the reputation of the engineer depends upon his doing the work at the lowest possible cost, and is checked . and safeguarded in every way. Not content with this he ^dds that the fund would be consumed by "graft gotten." I know little of the gentleman in charge of the work except that he enjoys the confidence of the officials of the Democratic administration in Washington; is reputed to be a man of good family and of sterling character. When the Democratic administration is good enough to give ue $20,000 and, in addition, sends one of its officials to help us with our roads what do you think of an as pirant tor congress welcoming umi, official to the district by charging him, without knowing him at all, and before he starts on the work, with the intention of getting graft out of it? Answering the last paragraph of his criticism, I am glad that I have been able to help the town of Beaufort, as he says, by securing a public^ building. At the time this was done no other city in the district was entitled to one, the requirements being that the city must have $10,000 postoffice receipts. Beaufort had the largest receipts in the district, but they did not amount to $10,000 and secured a building only because they have a custom house there which made it an exception to the rule. What he says about my work for river and harbor improvement being in the interest of the steamship lines is ridiculous. If he-means that I workArt fnr these imDrovements with the intention of helping steamship lines it should be unnecessary for me to say it is untrue because I have never been'an official of a railroad or steamship line, and do not know anyone connected with-a steamship line. As a railroad official he knows it will injure the railroads, and his statement is mere tommyrot. He boasts of his voting for an appropriation for hog cholera serum. Well Congress appropriated $500,000 this year to aid the States in this work. He boasts much of a two-cent rate NO DISPUTE about payments is possible i you have the cancelled check to show. There is no denia possible. Open an account a the Bamberg Banking Compan, and pay all bills by check. Yoi will avoid lots of trouble, sav< lots of worry and time and pu your affairs on a far more dig nified basis than they are now 4 per cent Paid on Savings Deposits Bamberg Banking Co. bill. He did introduce one but n until four days after Mr. Stanley i troduced a two-cent rate bill. He says he is in favor of road legi lation but unfortunately just a fe in the legislature wh< a bill was pending taxing autoniobil $5, the proceeds to be spent on tl roads in the county the tax was c< lected from, he voted against tb good roads measure as appears House Journal, 1914, page 1043. He declares he favors rural crec legislation so that the farmer can be row money at lower rates of intere: but unfortunately for the farme: just a few months ago. the legisl ture vote*? upon a bill to reduce t legal rate of interest to six per cei and Mr. Mixson voted against redu ing the rate of interest. See Hou Journal, page 313. On the other hand, I have urg rural credit legislation, and when t currency bill was pending in Cc gress, it was my amendment tb was adopted providing that nation banks could lend money to farme upon notes secured by warehouse i ceipts for cotton or other agricultui products giving the farmers the c portunitv to borro* upon this c< lotoroi from nation^ banks as w< as State banks. At this time t benefit of this provision is seen, ai when the Federal reserve banks a opened it will be of great assistan to us in marketing this cotton cr in such way as to prevent its sac: fice. While my good friend has bei campaigning the district, I have be< in Washington endeavoring, togeth with representatives from other c< ton growing States, to enlist the a of Congress and the administratii in preventing serious injury to o farmers in the present disturbed co dition of the cotton market. I ha urged the bankers to organize i drich-Vreeland currency associatio so as to avail themselves of the n< law issuing currency upon comme cial paper, and last Friday had t comptroller of the currency a^ssure he would construe commercial pap as including notes secured by wai house receipts for cotton. Tt means we can secure all the curren needed upon our securities. Wi this legislation, the bill that seeks increase our merchant marine a: the further fact that the concens of opinion is that within a very f( days England will be in control the sea, there is no reason for o people to become panic-stricken a: throw their cotton on the market any old price, demoralizing the mi ket and enabling speculators to b it and hold it for thirty days a: then make money out of it. Com tions are not nearly as bad as an cipated, and I am glad that in tt emergency, with the other repress tatives from the South, I have be of some service. In this and all other matters have endeavored to represent t district as I believe you would ha me, and even though I have been u able to visit many sections of t district this summer on account Congress being in session, I trust tb the voters of the district will endor my course by voting for me in t approaching primarv election.
