. ?? :?? Objects From Bar ' cites Interest of The finding of bits of wood, shells, shark's teeth, etc., in the Bamberg artesian well, arouses the geological interest of the News and Courier, the editor of which delivers himself of the following interesting dissertation | on "The Wonders in a Well." They are drilling an artesian well - -1 i-T- 4 o at Bamberg and from a aepin oi feet a number of pieces of wood have . been brought up by the well-diggers. At a depth of about 430 feet a shark's tooth was found in a stratum of sand described as bein? apparently the bed ' of an ancient ocean. These events ihave stirred deep interest locally and, according to the story, the townspeople of Bamberg are asking themselyes how many years have elapsed since 'the Atlantic or some other medieval or primeval ocean' covered the site of their town. Nobody knows exactlyhow many years ago it was. Referring to the pieces of wood brought up by the well-diggers the story notes that 'in5 asmuch as there has been no upheaval ilx this country since the discovery of America by Columbus, seven hundred years ago, the age of these ob jects is necessarily very great.' The geologist would smile at that. The . . centuries which have elapsed since Columbus discovered America are but as a moment compared with the ages that have passed sinc8 those pieces of wciod sank under the sea and since the shark from which that tooth came swam those ancient waters. The geologist does not reckon years by'the v hundred. He reckons them by the million. n.n for onmiph with him and ihe will take you to a .time when the ocean not only covered the place where Bamberg now stands but when it covered the greater part of what is now the United States. In the east only the tops of the Appalachian mountains stood up as islands out ot the vast sea. Westward from these islands stretched another?waste eta a part of the same?waste of waters out of which the summits of what were to be the Rockies projected, forming another island-chain. Gradually the land rose and the North American continent began to take shape?so slowly that -the process would not have been discernible to man if there had been any men in existence then?and, of course, mere / were none. Aeons were yet to elapse before man appeared on earth. Long "before he came?millions of years before he came?came the Dinosaurs, the most gigantic land creatures that ever existed, huge reptiles. Some of them from 60 to 80 feet long, compared with which the Jargest alligator is a pygmy; and with the Dinosaurs came those strange flying reptiles, the Pterodactyls, and many other fantastic forms almost as strange. TOLBERT REMAIN!) PILOT OF PARTY REPUBLICANS NOT PLANNING TO | REORGANIZE. . Try To Strengthen Greenwood Man to Retain Chairmanship and Distribute Patronage. Greenwood, Oct. 14.?Joseph W. Tolbert, state dhairman of the Republican parity of South Carolina, declared today in a written statement to T^he Index-Journal that he did not get to be chairman by the resignation of any one else and he has no intention to pass on the office that way to another man. He further says there wrill be no "reorganization" of the RATiiihlican narty in South Carolina! ? until he issues the call for.itihe meeting of the state convention in Sepi fcember, 1922. The matter of patronI age in South Carolina is all settled, L he claims. h The statements by Mr. Tolbert were m sent from Washington, where the state chairman is staying at present. With reference to the meeting reported to have been held in Washington.on October 6, he says that it was not called to consider patronage) in South Carolina, "for that is all settied," but was called .to discuss how to strengthen the Republican party' this state. Too Many Would Seek. H|HS . At the meeting October 6 John T. BBHb Adams, chairman of the Republican national committee, was present and declared that it would not do for him BSB^B to resign, as there would be at least ?HHB 500 applicants for the job, Mr. TolBHgB bert states. Speaking of the meeting, Mr. TolBEmJ bent .says in his statement: "The meeting was held at Republi nberg Well ExNews and Courier Yet, though the Dinosaurs and Pterodactyls disappeared many millions of years ago, -the earth, as the j geologist views it, was already old ; at the time when they flourished; and | since then vast changes have takem place on this continent?very, very slowly, seldom, if ever, by sudden upheavals?accompanied by* marvelous changes in the earth's living inhabitants. It was, as the geologist measures time, only day before yesterday that the ocean extended as far as Columbia. When it receded slowly, very slowly, the coastal plain of South Carolina became the home of land creatures as strange as theMosasaurs and other huge sea creatures which had formerly inhabited it. Now our largest wild animals are the whitetailed deer and the black bear which still survives in our swamps. But yesterday?according to the geologist's calendar?mastodons and mammoths, white tusks that would put an elephant's to shame, roam'ed over South Carolina, and huge ground sloths, like Mylodon and Megatherium, as heavy, if no as ta1! as ele' i-U pnanxs, maae nil's re$iuu men uumc. Tlie story from Bamberg about the fragments of wood and tbe shark's tooth brought up in the digging of the well says that these objects are of 'great interest to the geologist but may be of little interest to the layman. They would be of intense interest to the layman too if the average man had any idea of how fascinating is the wonder story that the geologist and his colleague, the paleontologist, have to tell?a story revealed by just such objects as those fragments of wood and that shark's tooth. Most people think contemptu ously of fossils. "Fossil" in everyday language has become a term of reproach. As a matter of fact, fossils are among the most fascinating things under the sun; and they tell a story about the strange past of South Carolina, the dim, almost inconceivably distant past, which is among the most marvelous ever told?a story which goes back to a itime when all South Carolina was covered by the ocean; a story which comes down through age after age of the world while the continent gradually emerged from i the sea; a story across the pages of whioh move miffhtv "dragons of the prime" stranger and more fan! tastic than any dragon of fable. If the finding of these fragments of ancient wood deep under the soil at Bamberg serves to open up fOT some people, who have never taken the trouble to look into it before, that Wonder Book of the past wnich the geologist and the paleontologist have compiled from the record of the rocks and of the fossils, the figging of that artesian well will serve another good purpose besides supplying thJe good town of Bamberg with wholesome drinking water. can national headquarters. We were there to consider how to strengthen the Republican party in South Carolina. Present were: Jobm T. Adams, chairman of the Republican national committee; Joseph B. Keali'ng, memI ber of the committee from Indiana; I Clarence B. Miller, secretary of the committee; Dr. Williams of Rock Hill and Mr. Anderson from Marion, S. C.

Dr. Williams said he would, and before he was through, said he would ask if I would resign. He seemed to think that I was keeping white men away. Anderson also seemed to have about the same idea about how i t the Republican party should run its affairs. He also had no objection to negroes as delegates. Does Not Like Kickers. "My answer was that I would ndt, and I certainly would not for such men as are now kicking about me being chairman." Mr. Tolbert further says in his statement that he would "be glad to have Dr. Williams and Mr. Anderson ^ ^ i? ?. 1 coo and all ithe others m sepiemuex, at which time the Republican state convention would be held and the party reorganized." "If they had a majority of their men at the state convention we would make the election of their men unanimous and all go home feeling good," the state chairman added, "but I will I call the next state convention." [ "As for C. C. Campbell, he was a ! paid Democratic election manager in ! 1 920 as the records of the Columbia State of October 27, 1920. will show," ; Mr. Tolbert also asserted. urn ? ? i> I"1 Church Folk Win. j I Sydney, X.
