-Bamberg county probably led the
counties of the state in the percentage
of votes cast in the general election
compared with the votes in the
Democratic primary for counties
where there was no opposition to the
Democratic nominees. It is a well
known fact that there is too great a
laxity in the general election, and no
county in the state ever casts anything
like the votes that should be J
cast, but it appears from the tabu-i
lation prepared by the state canvas-j
eers that Bamberg county's vote was
certainly high among the leaders.
This county gave the Democratic
nominees 574 votes, while such a big
county as Greenville only polled
2,491, and Orangeburg only 1,249.
There was no opposition in this county
to any candidates.
The Herald is delighted that we do .
not live in Charleston just now, not ]
oecause or anyming wnatever we
know against her fine citizenship, but ]
because of the bigzest fool law we
ever heard of that prohibits any of its
citizens from even receiving as a gift
good country sausage and puddings. 1
The other day the editor of the News j
and Courier was very considerately J ]
remembered by one of his friends
from Varnville with a mess of fine *
country sausage, which fact the edi- jT
tor proudly boasted in his columns j{
the next day. Then followed Sunday a jJ
scathing article written by the "chief j1
food inspector" of Charleston, in j1
which he threatened to prosecute the!1
whole works of the News and Courier j *
for violation of the food inspection j1
law. Of the Varnville variety of ^
sausage we cannot speak personally, ]
"but we are sure it does not differ 1
from the Bamberg product, and at *
gives us great pleasure to tell the food (
inspector of Charleston that the Char- (
leston abattoir could never be accused 1
Of producing anything that could even 5
"be spoken in the same breath as Bam- fberg
county country meat products. k
We are sorry for the editor of the 1
News and Courier. He has our sincere
sympathy, but we hope 'he does not 1
surrender himself to despair. He has 1
a cordial invitation to come to Bam- *
"berg any time and partake of fine <
country sausage. We may not know *
all in the alphabet about meat sanita- *
tion, but if he is taken ill from the 1
effects of Bamberg sausage, it will be 1
from an overcharge and not the qual- *
ity thereof, and he will feel amply re- 1
paid even if he is sick for a few days. *
NATION -WIDE TRAINING. 1
b
System of Helping Only a Few Not ?
Satisfactory. I
1
A plan to develop a race of physical
superman has been launched by
Secretary of War Weeks and edu- J
- cators representing every section of t
the United States. c
Physical weaklings would be elim- "
inated by a nation-wide system of
athletic training for boys of school j
age, it was announced. Efforts will be ^
made to bring every boy under the
direction of competent Instructors
for mass physical training, insteaid of ^
the plan now in vogue to train only ^
a few.
c
Organizations devoted to amateur
athletics, boys' welfare associations,
school principals and college presidents
pledged their cooperation, and
in conference the next few days will 1
work out and agree upon details for
putting the plan into execution.
Secretary Weeks declared that the ,
standarjl of American manhood physically
hag declined during the last j (
generation and there must be some! (
organized effort to restore it. He .
pointed out that until recent years }
every American lived a good portion ,
of his life out of doors.

CHANGE IN PETS
Raccoons, Boas and Spiders Are Replacing
Bogs.
By Frederic J. Haskin.
Fashions in pets change these days,
almost as frequently as in house
furnishings and clothes. If you want
to be in style this year you must have
something bizarre abut the house,
such as a snake or a pellican or a
skunk. The reign of the lap dog
seems to be over, and the animal deal4
\
ers of our big cities are now hard
pressed to supply an ever-increasing
demand for weird and exotic household
pets to take its place.
Pet raccoons have not yet appeared
on promenade in Riverside drive, but :
a New York animal dealer reports 1
that already these magnificant little j,
animals are usurping the place of the j;
apartment dog. They are given all the j,
freedom, comfort and attention of j
their predecessors except that instead ]
of being led along by a leash they: <
taken their afternoon constitution in 1 <
exclusive quiet on the roof.
That unsocial little animal remotely
related to the raccoon ?the skunk t
?is also being domesticated with \.
surprising success by city dwellers. j j
With, its scent bag removed, it is said | c
to make a charming pet, its disposi-jf
tion being more amiable than that of! <
most poodles, while its striking black j.
and white coat is considered a valuable
asset to interior decoration. r
Boa Constrictors Favored. t
Boa constrictors are also becoming c
fashionable. Eight of these formid-Jl
able-looking reptiles have recently c
been sold to private families in New't
Fork who intend to make pets of 1
hem. Of coursl, they are not un-jv
vieldly, 30-foot boa constrictors, such ' s
is terrorize the natives of South d
America, out are 01 moaesi size,; 1
neasuring 7 feet or so. According to e
;he animal dealers, boa constrictors j c
ire exce'Pent pets, as they are excep-jv
tonally clean and absolutely amiable s
f properly handled. There is an
Englishman who possesses such a p
pleasant boa constrictor that he gives a
t t'he freedom of the dinning room in t
lis home, where it is said to enjoy,soiling
itself around the legs of the
iining table. So far as is known,
lowever, all New Yorkers owning
>uoh reptiles keep them in strong
rlass cases and do not invite them to
Sinner, but pass their food to them 1
through a little door. (
One of the most popular of the new; ^
lets is the marmosette, or pocket j t
nonkey, which measures only from 4 j I
o 6 inches, weighs only 7 or 8 ounces* j J
md can be conveniently carried about
n a pocket or handbag. Thi9 little j(
:reature can be taught to/do all man- t
ler of clever tricks, but it is usually S
riciously unfriendly toward every- ^
)ody but its master or mistress and j t
is its bite is poisonous it is advisable p
:o brush its teeth every day.
Gaily colored parrots and parra
zeefs started the vogue for strange j t
lirds as pets last year, which probably ( 8
tcounts for bhe present popularity of |
)elicans. Dealers in various cities j
lave recentlv reported a growing de- *
nand for these birils, as well as for,*'
! r
;ome of the brilliant. South American j *
lirds, like the Brazilian cardinal and
he froupial. Crows and ravens are also
said to be replacing canaries in the
Irawing room. Crows when taken
rpung in life become very tame and
ovable, and they can often be taught
0 talk as amusingly as a parrot.
The Dainty Wildcat.
It is also considered much smarter
:o keep a wildcat now than a Angora.
Common cats are out of the question
iltogether; they must either be got
id of or kept out of sight lik$ milaly's
gowns of three years ago. If
possible one should visit South
America or Mexico and return with a
vild-cat, so that one's photograph
nay appear in the pictorial supplenents,
but if this cannot be arranged
1 wildcat should by all means be secured
through a dealer. The Margay
at or long-tailed cat of South America
is a good choice, as it has a strikng
color scheme, being grizzly i
Drown or reddish with black spots |
infd rings. It is also said to yield {
gracefully to domestication?somehing
which is rare among the wild-|
;at species.
Another picturesque pet from!
South America v.lr'ch is being widely!
idopted by city dwellers is the coati,
i close relative of our own North!
\merican raccoon. It has the samej
leautiful coat, an even bushier tail
ind a strangely mobile hose that can
:e twisted, extended, contracted or
nade rigid at will. The coati is tamcrd
md becomes devotedly attached to its
lome and master. According to one,
lealer, who owns such an animal, itj
s tihe most interesting and amusing j
?et he has ever had, keeping him, hej
says, constantly entertained by its
idiculons antics.
Some people who like pocket pets
3ave adopted pocket mice, which
>ddly shaped little animals are now
)eing imported from the southwestern
states to supply the demand for
lovelties In the metropolitan pet
narkets. The pocket mouse is fawncolored
above and white below, with
ine, silky fur and large lustrous eyes, j
But its head is so large in proportion j
to its small body, its hind legs so enormous
compared to its diminutive
feet, and its tufted tail so unexpectedly
long that it has a very droll appearance.
It is said to be an affectionate
an agreeable companion, except
for its habits which cause it to
be very active at night and to sleep
during the day. It can be induced
to change this unfortunate custom,
however, if it is fed in the (daytime
and food is not left in its cage at
night.
Women seem to be losing all of
their traditional fear of mice, if one
may judge by the heavy demand for
t-hese creatures at the pet shops.
Waltzing mice especially have lately
become almost as popular as goldfish.
Nature played a cruel joke on
these littie rodents, making it impossible
for them to travel in a straight
line. They are able to move forward
Dnly in dizzy circles, taking two steps
backward for every three forward.
Even when eating these mice do notf'
seem able to cease their quivering
3t. Vitus dance motion.
The Useful Spider.
In some cases novel pets can be
rained to be extremely useful. Thus
>ne man who keeps a Mygale spider
or a pet trained it to live among the
:urtains of his bed and rid him of
lies and mosquitoes which would
)therwise ihave disturbed his slum>ers
Chamelions are also to be recomnended
as attractive household pets,
o people who are troubled with,
ock-roaches. These- curious lizards
)refer flies, but they will gladly acept
a straight cockroach diet after
he fly season is over. Although they
lave a rather alarming appearance,
nth their large gogrle eyes and long, <
ticky tongues, bbey possess a gentle '
lisposition except where pestiferous (
nsects are concerned. Moreover, as ?
veryone knows, these extraordinary 1
:reate environments, so that they i
tould never interfere with the color ,
cheme of a room. <
But there are some people who!)
refer cockroaches to chamelionsj;
ind, incredible as it may seem, even
hese annoying insects can be train- ]

Howard, of the United States bureau
of entomology, has had remarkable
success along this line.
"A croton bug," he writes "of the
usual, inquisitive form of mind, inihabite^
my office desk, and as soon
as I laid down my cigar upon the
edge of the drawer the little fellow
invariably came out of his hiding
place and worked vigorously at the
moist end. At first, he was after the
moisture, but later the tobacco taste
grew and he became as much addicted
to the habit as the most inveterate
tobacco user. It may be worth men
tioning that it seemed to have no 'deleterious
effect upon his health."
