Misses Marie Louise Cornell,
Blanche Porter and Pauline Holman,
accompanied by J. D. O'Hern 1
and Owen Riley motored to Bamberg
Monday, thereby. whether con
sciously or unconsciously, these
young gentlemen were handing out a
treat to the Bamberg young men?
for the sight of our Barnwell girls is ;
always a treat to discriminating
young men everywhere.?Barnwell
Sentinel.
. Nay. friend, not that your girls are
not all that could be desired, but
than Bamberg girls there are none
finer, and were it not for our generosity
in extending our influence to
the ends of the earth our discriminating
young men would confine themselves
entirely to the home product.
The South Carolina railroad com- J
? mission fixed the rates to be charged
by the Augusta-Aiken electric rail>
way. The railway appealed to the
United States court and that tribunal
promptly set aside the order of the
commission and fixed other rates?
higher, of course. % The telephone
company in this state is appealing to J
the United States court to restrain
the state government from lowering
its telephone rates, and few persons
have any doubt in the world what the
r outcome will be. The act of the state :
legislature will be set aside. Very
little protection is afforded the people
against corporations in the federal
courts, and it has come to pass
) that state railroad commissions and
legislatures count for nought. They
are useless adjuncts. Under the present
system, they may as well be dispensed
with. The state is not runt>itvcr
;t.e mrn affairs anv mnrP.
Naturally there are two sides to
. this question of granting pardons to
convicted persons. The governor's
position is one in which he is entitled
to sympathy. But the governor
leaves his personal sympathies at
home?or should?when he becomes
g9vernor. In acting off pardon petitions
the governor represents not
Ihis own personal views, but the interests
of the people of South Carolina
urhnsp servant he is. The mat
ter of getting up a petition is comv
paratively easy. We have never
known a petition of any sort to be
circulated that was not signed by
I more or less persons. In fact, the
contents of a petition have not a
great deal to do with securing signatures.
If a friend asks another good j
friend to help him out by signing a .
?. -petition to hang another friend by ,
the neck there will be some to sign it. .
Jj'ive of the jurors convicting one of .
the men executed last Friday signed ,
a petition that the governor commute
the sentence, without, so far (
as we can see, any reason, whatever :
lor doing so., Such petitions are,
generally speaking, likely to cause
serious consideration from an executive,
and it all goes back to the wis- j
dom of putting such enormous power
as life or d?ath in the hands of any
one man. The writer has ^lways
contended that the pardon power, as .
conferred on the governor in this (
state, is too much power to. grant any J
man. When women and children be- ^
siege a governor to grant mercy to a i j
condemned man it is hard to turn a (
deaf ear; a man would have a heart j
of stone if he did not listen to such j
appeals ana to De movea wun com- ^
passion by them. The state has a j
pardon board; let the board's recommendations
be carried out. This j
gives ample protection to the inter- "
ests of the convicted men. ^

Would Introduce
. Cotton Substitute 1>u
In 189S Dr. 0. D. Faust, now dead 1
some years, wrote to J. G. Pratt, of we;
Chicago, 111., in' regard to the grow- ag
ing of "ramie," a plant whose bark livi
is said to make an excellent substi- wil
tute for cotton, wool, or linen. Un- spe
der date of October 5, 1898, Dr. ]ati
Faust received a letter from Mr. yea
Pratt in which he stated that he was -we'
developing machinery for the manu- is
facture of the product, that his ex- par
periments had been entirely satis- ty
factory, and that there was no doubt Cro
whatever of the success of the new
fiber. Mr. Pratt was very much in- seL
terested to learn if Dr. Faust had sea
produced any of the fiber. ove
For some reason, however, Dft. ma
Faust did not pursue the matter any His
further. Perhaps the reason was He
that cotton was so easy to produce
that there did not seem to be any dra
necessity for a substitute. in
O. D. Faust, Jr., the other day in bee
looking over some papers of his fath- hal
er came across the letters and was it.
so much interested in the possibili- me
ties'of growing ramie that he is tak- the
ing the subject up with Congressman Fe
Byrnes with a view to investigating inh
the possibilities of introducing the tha
plant in this section. That the ef- am
fort of Mr. Pratt, or some one else xh
interested in the matter, met with tha
more or less success seems to be prov- ag(
en by another letter found of Dr. ext
Faust's. This letter was from a New =
York manufacturer, and samples of
ramie cloth were enclosed. The A
samnles have every appearance of be- ([r
ing excellent goods; indeed tlie man- IIJ
ufacturers claim for them a superi- |||
ority over either cotton, linen or j
wool. This letter stated that a varie- In
ty of cloth was being made from the |||
fiber, including underclothing and |||
hosiery. j
Cotton was king in those days, III
however, and so far as Dr. Faust |||
was concerned nohing further was II
accomplished toward growing the I
new fiber. About two years ago |||
young Mr. Faust, finding the inroad |||
of the bool weevil wreaking havoc I!
with the cotton production, address- I
n lntfor tn ATr Pratt with a View ill
CU. CL IClld W '
to introducing the industry here at |||l
that time. It was found that Mr. ||||
Pratt had been dead several years. I
The letter was opened and answered I
by a gentleman who was doing busi- I I
ness at Mr. Pratt's old place of busi- ||l|
ness. He gave the address of his ||||
widow, but could give no information I
regarding Mr. Pratt's development I
of fiber manufacture. I j
It is possible .that in unearthing I j
this matter, Mr. Faust may be instru- 11 |
mental in the opening of a new and ||||
profitable industry here, for it is said |||j
that the climatic conditions here are I n
very favorable for the growing of |||
this product. Inasmuch as the boll ||[|
weevil bids fair to prevent a normal |j
production of cotton, Mr. Faust is
seeking the efforts of Congressman jjjj
Byrnes to ascertain if it is possible \UJ
3r profitable to look further into this ^5
matter. ,

said the editor of the local paper.
"Why not?" asked the disappoint- =

The editor looked wildly about him

"Well?er?er?I haven't room for

He stopped lamely, then a brain
