There is room for an up-to-date mer-
chant, and such one would be gladly
welcomed All our merchants have as
mach business as they can we'll attend to
and they would no: look with disfavor
upon the establishment of another mer-
camille house here. The town and coun-
ty is in fine shape financially, and more
business is being done here now than for
many years past. Our merchants are
liberal and just in their dealings with
their customers, and that is the reason
so many people come to Bamberg to do
their trading. We are surely and steadily
going ahead, and, with the opportunities
before US, we expect the town to develop
into place of double its present business
and commercial importance in the next
few years.

Heat Radiation.

The tendency Of heat to diffuse itself
is effected by radiation, conduction and
convection. Nearly all dull and dark
substances are good radiators. while
bright, polished surfaces radiate badly.
Some substances conduct heat more
freely than others. silver among the
metals being the best conductor. and
as a unit Of measurement is taken at
1000. Compared with silver as con-
ductor. gold is 9Sl. copper 845. zinc

resinous substances are bad conduct.

There was a quick movement, and
Herr Hopf saw the pea slide under
the shell. He lifted that one, but 1t
was empty.
"Is der a limit?"
"No, SIR"
"Vell, I bet on each shell''
He placed q dollar on each Of the
three shells.
"Now, l can't lose"

About Lawyers.

Life has been said to be full of trials.
This probably accounts for so many law
yers. Lawyers may be said to do their
work with will whenever the doctors
get through. Talk may be said to be
cheap until lawyers do the talking. 1t is
claimed that lawyers have been talking
ever since the time of Baalam.
When people take things as they
come" they need lawyer. II they don't
take enough to pay good fee they are
likely to lind that the judge is man of
few words and long sentences.
When Adam and Eve were accused of
petit larccncy they were tried without
lawyers. No wonder they raised Cain
True, they had nothing to fee lawyer
but if the case had been continued they
could have done so for they soon got

The legislature has, just as we expected,
appropriated $4,000 to the Charleston
exposition, which will be used to erect a
State building and provide for exhibits.
We, as one who opposed any such appro-
priation by the State, will pay our share
of the taxes cheerfully, and only trust
that time will prove the wisdom of their
action. The position taken by Senator
Mayfeld is that the increase in taxable
property in Charleston alone will pay
back to the State in taxes in few years
a great deal more than the $50,0OO ap-
propriated, and then the property will be
a fixture, which will bring in revenue
to the State year after year. He con-
sidered the matter in the light of plain
business proposition, and we trust that
the money spent will prove of value to
the State.

This newspaper does not argue for q
water works system on the ground of
convenience. We favor it because we
believe every taxpayer who pays insur-
ance will save money. Economy de-
mands that we quit paying out large
sums of money to fire insurance COM
panies each year. With the establish
ment of a water works plant, our insur-
ance rates will be materially reduced,
and we will thereby save more money
than the taxes we would have to pay for
