A little further along, as they ^ , were skirting a bayou, the man saw something out in the water making a great fuss, swishing and splashing. "Sam, what is that?" he asked L again. ' "Another aligator, boss." "What, Sam, is an alligator an amphibious animal?" "What's that, boss?" "I say, is the alligator an amphibi'j ous animal?" "Yaas, sah, he'll eat a white man jest the same as a nigger." m < > ?

There are some inconsistencies in i popular ideas these days. Inconsist| encv is not a jewel, but it is freI quently a sweet morsel. What I have in mind is 'this: The charge j has frequently been made that the Associated l^ress is dominated by a partiality for the Catholics. It may be true. I do not know. I have noticed, however, that the Irish openly charge that the news agencies never tell the truth about the Irish fight for freedom. They say that every misdeed of the Sinn Feiner is published, whereas, the horrible crimes of the British soldier is never mentioned. It is only natural that the [ Catholics should sympathize with | Irish ambition for freedom. If the j Associated Press is pro-Catholic, however, how is it that only the things damning to the Irish, who are mostly Catholics, are published? ***** The truth about the whole of creation is that everybody seems to be looking for faults in the other fellow. Suppose we try seeking only the good qualities of others and see what the result will be. We have plenty of things about ourselves that suggests self-examination without seeking to blacken others. Personally, I do not believe in Irish freedom. I think there are good reasons why the Irish ought not to oe turnea loose. I think those in Ireland who do not wish to have a Catholic government set up ought to be given I some consideration. But that has nothing to do with the consistency above referred to. ***** I -was impressed by the fact Monday morning that the stores of Bamberg closed for an hour in order that the storekeepers might attend the revival services of the Methodist church. I do not think that Bamberg is any worse than other towns, perhaps not as bad, but we certainly have need of a revival of the religion of Christ here in our town. That is a fine preacher who is conducting the revival, and if the people will let him do it, Bamberg is going to be vastly ! benefitted. Now, lend your help. Atj tend the services yourself, and enter | into the spirit of the revival. ***** I The Herald tells me a telegram i was received here the other day audressed to the Chamber of Commerce making an important inquiry regardj ing the town. Now, Bamberg, un| fortunately, does not possess such an organization, and the telegram could not be delivered to the addressee, but was handed to the mayor. Bamberg ought to have a chamber of commerce. The way things started out here a few years ago, we felt certain that Bamberg was going to have a live community organization. Money was paid in right along, a secretary was employed, and things were coming to pass. It is hard, though, to keep up an organization of this kind in a small town. There are many things a chamber of commerce could do for Bamberg. If the town is to grow and prosper, we muct have some means of putting the town on the map, besides just the ordinary mouth-to-mouth method. ***** Liquor flows easily in Bamberg these days. At least, so it appears. Drunkenness is about as common as it was in the days of the gallon-amonth. The liquor is said to be home-made, and I have an idea the reason there is so much of this stuff is because the courts are so light on the blind tigers. Our solicitor is a good official, but I am^ inclined to believe he is a little too softhearted. He allows too many fellows to plead guilty, and, consequently, get a light sentence. In my opinion a man or woman, either, that makes liquor to disturb the peace of the community ought to go to the chain gang for a good long period, without the alternative of a fine. If liquor makers realize that when they are caught it means a year or two on the gang they are going to think twice before brewing once. I am very frankly of the belief that under the present methods of the courts liquor will never be stamped out. A fellow can erect a still and make hundreds of gallons before he is caught, and then get out by paying a fine of two or three hundred dollars, which he can make back in a week or two, and be ready for "busi U? _ _T -D?f neSs as usual agam suuru^. x ul them on the gang. ***** Speaking about court, it has never been mji idea to discuss punishment before a man's trial, but I don't think it wrong to say that a grave error . would be made to allow that fellow who killed a fellow man in Lemon Swamp for robbery to plead guilty to any lesser crime than murder, and that, of course, he can't do. And T i sincerely hope that the court will not consent to a verdict on the promise i of a life-time imprisonment. If the negro committed the crime like he says he did, and he is not sent to the electric chair, it seems to me the law against murder ought to be repealed by the next legislature and let 'em all go free.
