One of the hardest rains of the winter fell Monday night. ^ The Spann Mercantile Co., has been commissioned by the secretary of State. The family of Rev. E. O. Watson has not arrived in Bamberg yet, as the parsonage is being repaired. 1 Mr. John M. Taturti, of Cope, has been appointed to a scholarship at West Point by Congressman James F. Byrnes. e To r?o _ I un account oi me i<mi, nese tea, given Monday evening at the Mayflower Inn, was not largely attended. Very little fertilizer has been shipped to this point so far this season, and the outlook is that very little 1 will be used this year by Bamberg 1 county farmers. Considerable cotton has changed / hands here recently as a result of . I i the increase in price. Some cotton ( I was sold which had been held for j several months. Considerable interest is being evidenced in the approachingNcity election in May. Already there are several who have announced that they will be candidates in the election. 1 *._ r\ T? Unc . Yir. J. JU. ^upciauu, ou, nac i ^ 1 signed as cotton statistician for Bam- i berg county, as he has been appointed clerk of court, and Mr. D. M. . /- Eaves has been appointed to sue- i ceed Mr. Copeland. While being driven out of the lot Monday, .Mr. A. Rice's horse fell through a small bridge over the drain ditch at his premises on Railroad avenue, sustaining injuries from ] which the animal died shortly after, j The Home Building and Loan as- j sociation has been dissolved, in accordance with the wishes of a ma- ( jority of the shareholders, and checks , for the amount paid in less the ex- ( penses incurred have been paid over , to the shareholders. Kindly notice the date on the label ] of your paper. If it has expired a . renewal will be much appreciated. < $1.50 does not mean much to any ; one person and this small amount could easily be spared. In the aggregate, however, it means much to us. One hundred renewals during the next week would help us wonderfully, t If The Herald is worth anything at all, it is worth paying for. We do 1 ? * -U ... ! not try tu lorce uic ya^ci vu cllij U\J\AJ , and if you don't want it, all you ' have to do is to let us know and we will discontinue sending it. But we ' ? must insist that if you do take it 1 that you pay for it. We cannot afford to send out a number of papers on credit, and must treat all alike 1 ' and adhere to the cash-in-advance . rule. ' Sheriff S. G. Rav has purchased 1 X from Mr. Jones A. Williams, the latter's residence and lot adjoining the Farmers Gin company, the price being stated at $4,000.

Considerable repairs are being made to the place, which is one of the finest ^ in Bamberg. Meeting of City Council. ^ The regular meeting of the city council was held Tuesday, considerable business being tranacted. The matter of the erection of a ' suitably hose house was referred to the street committee to select a locac tion. The city now has $4;?0 worth * of new hose on hand. Some time ago it was decided to erect a house, and , it is probable that it will be built near the power plant. The resignatiop of Mr. B. D. Carter as a member of the public works commission was accepted, Mr. Car- i ter now being a member of the gen- i eral assembly. Dr. F. B. McCrackin < was elected to fill his unexpired ] term. < Messrs. Delk.

Robinson Crusoe Island In the Pacific is being equipped with wire- r >less service, says the New York Press, and it will be possible soon to com- ( municate with the place where Alexander Selkirk made his solitary sojourn for four years, thus giving Defoe an opportunity to create the masterpiece that still retains its_, popularity so long as boys and girls, p.s well as grownups, delight in reading tales of adventure. The Island of Juan Fernandez belongs to Chile and lies about 360 ^ miles almost immediately west of I Valnamkn In rpalitv thprp ar? "? i three islands composing the Juan Fernandez group. But the name is applied usually to the largest, known as Mas a Tierra, meaning nearer 1 lanp. Close to its west end a small ! rocky islet rises out of the breakers, , and this is Santa Claus. Farther away lies Mas a Fuera Island. * It was on Mas a'Tierra that Selkirk was left in his lonely exile. The' island is of irregular form, about twelve miles long and scarcely four miles across at the widest. When / ' seen from a distance the mountain El Yunque?the Anvil?towers con- ? spicuously in Jits height of 3,000 feet. The northeastern half of the place i6 composed of alternate craggyridges and fertile valleys, and mostlycovered by wood, while the southern division, which is comparatively low > and flat, is nearly barren. The Island of Juan Fernandez ha& become a stopping place for many ships. The bay affords an abund- 1 ance of fish, and is known especially - . J for its fine lobsters and ciWfish.. i Since starting to colonize, Chile has ' /J been encouraged in attempting to- < make Robinson Crusoe's Island of value to settlers, and the wireless station now under instruction will greatly^aid the colonization plan. Reichstag and Duma. x * I was much surprised, in readingthe letter of J. J. Tobias a few days > \ ago, that a getleman who certainly ought to be well infortned on such subjects should have credited the Reichstag and the Puma with the power of making war. The fact of the matter is that while the English Parliament and the French Assembly exercise a vir- 1 tual control over the executive, the German Reichstag and the Russian . Duma are as devoid of any real j power in international affairs as is ,tj the Young People's Debating society of Podunk. If they pass resolutions yhich please the sovereign ' . they are patted on the back; but if they do not indorse the imperial ? programme they are told to go home and the programme is carried out by an exercise of the imperial preroga- , ' tive. ; Some one has called the Duma j I "a nice little liberty toy that the Czar I has given the Russians to amuse ' them." As regards the Reichstag, it must always be remembered that the German Emperor is also King of Prussia, and the Prussian delegates control the Reichstag, while *' j they are themselves controlled by , J the immense pressure which the King is able to bring to bear upon .
