MAIN STREET.
Two years ago Main street presented
an appearance that was disgusting
to the eye, and still worse to the feet. ,
Today it is a modern paved thoroughfare.
The present city council is to
be commended in the highest terms
for this constructive piece of work.
If the council does not accomplish
anything else, they have performed
good service to the town in paving ,
Main street. It is recalled that during
rainy weather it was necessary
to span the street with all kinds of ;
objects, such as banana crates and
excelsior, in order to make it possible
to cross the street with any sort
of respect to the shoes.
Another thing that the city council
has done has been the vast improvement
of the streets of Bamberg?and,
we believe?at a very small cost. The
sand-clay streets are kept in as good
condition as any town or city that we
know of, for the most part, and cer- ;
tainly the streets are in better condition
than they have been in years.
In another column of The Herald
today will be found a Timmonsville :
dispatch clipped from one of the daily
papers that ought to be read by everybody.
It shows what may be accomplished
on a small plot of .'and.
This colored family is realizing a good
income from the cultivation of a ,
three-quarter acre garden. If every
farm in South Carolina should be '
? I
operated on the same scale, we wonder
what the prosperity of this state
would be. ;
i
We have just read over the 59 bills <
that have been enacted by the pres- ;
ent general assembly and signed by 1
the governor. We publish them in
another place in the paper, and we
apologize to our readers for taking
up the space. If there is one single bill
in the whole lot that is of any |
interest to the entire state, we fail to
find it. We note ^ that the next ;
general election is to be again loaded ;
down with constitutional amend- :
ments. We did not count them, but
there must be a dozen or so constitutional
amendments in the list. Wh^
not do away with the constitution,
anyway? It does not seem to be a very ;
satisfactory constitution by the number
of amendments. It is pretty ex- ]
pensive to have the legislature meet
annually just to pass special legis- j
lation for the towns of the state. ;
The state of South Carolina needs ^
men of the character and attainments \

Mr. Carter is a candidate for the posi- ]
tion on the supreme bench made vacant
by the death of Associate Justice z
George W. Gage. He is a Christian i
gentleman whose life is absolutely j
above reproach. If he is elected associate
justice, Mr. Carter will lend \
dignity and character to the supreme
court that will reflect honor upon his
state and county. Few lawyers in \
South Carolina possess legal attainments
in proportion to his?a fact
that is recognized by all those who ?
have been associated with him in his j
successful practice in the state and 2
federal courts. His many Bamberg r
friends feel very hopeful of his elec- ^
tion, believing that if this honor is (
conferred on him he will be of genu- 2
ine service to the state. r
GEORGIA'S BIG APPLE TREE. I
Planted Half Century Ago and Still
Bears Luscious Fruit. j
Greensboro, Ga.. Feb. 12.?Georgia I
believes it has probably the largest 1
apple- tree in the United States. It
measures eight feet in circumference
at its base, is very tall and has a
spread of limbs measuring forty-eight (
feet. W. J. Bryan, who soon will celebrate
his SOth birthday, planted the 1
tree fifty-two /years ago in Green 1
county, and it is still bearing a crop *
of luscious apples annually. i

Eclipsed.
"Oh, yes!" said Captain Kidd.
"Many wicked things I did, as I sailed.
I murdered William Moore, and ]
left him in his gore, full many miles
from the shore, as I sailed. But he
didn't starve to death and with last
expiring breath beg for food. I shot ]
him twice instead and whacked him ]
on the head, and left him lying dead, 1
which was crude. I was a buccaneer, without
mercy, without fear, but I <
failed. I thought my record high, 1
little recked that by and by the world i
would at me cry?this he wailed? 3
'Bah! You a buccaneer!" People
meet my ghost and jeer; 'You should 3
see a profiteer!' Aye, I failed."
NO NEED FOR "BLUE LAW."
Two Men and One Boy Only Nonchurch
Members.
McColl, Feb. 5.?This town, "Pop.
2,129," the guidebooks aver, claims a
worlds record. A church survey, announced
today, disclosed only two
men and a boy who are not church
members, taking twelve years as
minimum age. The wohien folk were
unanimous.

Letter From Arthur Nimpions.
Treasurer G. A. Jennings received
an interesting letter from J.
Arthur Ximmons, who now lives in
Washington, D. C., a few days ago.
Ximmons was for years the popular
colored barber in Bamberg, and he
has scores of friends aruffng the white
people, as well as colored, of the
city. The letter, in part, follows:
"Your letter of several days ago
to hand. I really cannot express to
you in words how the contents of that
letter affected me. Surely, after all,
old friends are true friends. As I
read the contents of that letter I recalled
so many incidents that you
perhaps have forgotten that is proof
positive to me that in you I have one
true and tried friend in the true significance
o-f the term.
"At present I am confined to the
house. Have been sick in bed for
over a week, but when I saw in The
Herald that you had been sick I sat
down at once to write you as best I
can in my nervous state. When Dr.
Watson here told me my dear friend,
Mr. Monnie, was dead, I just had to
shed tears. I don't know that all the
people realize it like I do, but I realized
years ago that when the old solid
and staunch citizens of our town die
out?such men as the late Mr. Thos.
Black, Mr. Copeland and Mr. Brabham?I
tell you the city and community
suffer a distinct loss; to say
nothing of Drs. Cleckley and Black,
and others. It is true that I am up
here, but I am a southerner, as they
all call me in the shop that I work.
There is not a single day that 1 do
not think of my old home and my
old friends.
"Our shop is located opposite the
Raleign hotel, just off Pennsylvania
avenue, on 12th street. I have the
first chair. A conspicuous sign hangs
over my stand thus: "Ximmpns from
South Carolina." Whenever a disparaging
remark is made of my home
state in my presence, and she needs
to be defended I stand ready to function;
therefore, I feel it very keenly
whenever I can't do it justly.
"I hope you have recovered fully
your strength by now and that you
are in the best of health. Take good
care of yourself. Quit the job if it
is necessary to the preservation of
your health. I hope that I will be
able to spend one more good day with
you hunting and fishing on the Edisto
in this life."
<m? < ? ?
Business Proposition.
There was no sentiment about
Herbert Jones. He met the girl he
wished to marry and he proposed
like this:
"Mary Dough, will you be my life
partner. I am a business man. If you
are agreeable, I will sign up a marriage
contract, we'll both sign, before
witnesses, and then we can go on with
;he world's work."
She gasped, but presently regained
aer composure.
"Fortunately," she said, "I've had
i little business training myself, so
ive can discuss this proposed contract
broperly and dispassionately."
"I am so glad to find you so sensible,"
he told her.
She smiled sweetly.
"I regret I can give you nothing
better than second option," she said.
"What!" he exclaimed.
"I'm afraid I have to inform you I
' rtnnroo'Qfl t Vl O t 1 C f r? CUV I
I Hi. ail CdU > CX15d5^U' UJULUtl/ J.k> wvr ) I
he first option is already taken. But j
i first option does not necessarily
nean a closed contract. If you don't
vant to take a chance on a second
>ption, say so, if you do, I'll drop you
i line if I find myself on the matrinonial
market again."
"That's cold blooded!" he comjlained.
"It's business," she averred.
"I'd rather have first option!" he
)leaded.
"A first option in such a case never!
las been, and never will be, secured
:y business methods," she replied.
His Condition.
"Ah, Mr. Ake! How are you, tolay?"
"A little undecided, thank you,"
-eturned the sufferer. "In addition
;o my rheumatism, I am carrying as
i side line a couple of carbuncles,
ind the complication of pester keeps'
ne wavering. I do not know whether
:o try another doctor or just perish
without the aid of a physician."
