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.

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.

were also black men present as delegates.
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

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."

State of October 27, 1920. will show,"

The case told below is not an un- i

and will continue to happen
as long as folks have kidneys and
overtax the kidneys.
C. H. Herron, Bamberg, says:
"My kidney trouble started with a
slight pain across the small of my ^
back and gradually got worse until ]
my back ached all the time. The
kidney secretions were irregular in 00-71
