The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1901-02-07

We are truly gratiied at the hearty
endorsement some of our leading citizens
and large taxpayers have given to our
editorial of last week in regard to water
works. They take the same position
that We do: that water works will not
only be great convenience to us but
that the saving in insurance premiums
alone will more than pay the interest on
the bonds. The credit of the town is
excellent, and there is no reason why We
could not get all the money necessary at
a low rate of interest. Instead of payin G
out the money each year to enrich foreign
insurance companies, We will be improv-
ing and beneftting the town by estab-
fishing much needed improvement. 1t
is probable that the matter will take
definite shape in a few days. The first
step necessary is securing signatures to a
petition to the city council asking that
an election be ordered on the question of
issuing bonds. All possible information
will be given before the election is held.
We would like for our people to think
about this matter, for we feel sure they
will come to the conclusion that money
put into water works will be the best
investment they can possibly make just
now.

The legislature has appropriated $20,-
600 more for new domitory at Winthrop
College. Last year $4,000 was appro-
priated for this same purpose, and the
last appropriation is for completing and
furnishing the building. In the name of
common sense and economy We protest
against such action. While We favor
Winthrop, We really think enough money
has been spent there. The cry is raised
that there is no money for the common
schools and yet the colleges can get all
they want. Money can be appropriated
for an exposition, finishing the State
house, etc, and yet the common schools
are neglected Gentlemen Of the legis-
lature, it is high time you were support
ing the country schools. Colleges and
other enterprises have had enough public
pap for the present.

AFRAID OF HIS CURSES
TOBIN CALLED DOWN EVIL ON MRS.
EGGERTS CHILDREN.

]. ]. Tobin, living at Minneapolis, was
before Judge Hine in the police court
yesterday on a charge of disorderIy con-
duct, preferred by Frederick G. Eggert,
living at 572 Minnesota street. The case
is a novel one and quite interesting. Judge
Hine continued it until Sept. II.
According to the story told by Mr.. Eg-
CERT, Tobin's trouble with Mr. Eggert's
family grows out of the contest for the
estate of Mrs Kate Ludwig, who died
here July 10, 1898. leaving an estate val
ued at $4,000 The viii designated Tobin
as the sole heir but the relatives of Mrs
Ludwig contested the will with the re-
suit that Tobin got nothing. Mrs. Eggert
was a witness in this case as disinter-
ested party and Tobin blamed her for
losing the property.
Mr.. Eggert alleges that on Aug: last
Tobin called at the Eggert home, while
he was away, and calling Mrs. Eggert to
the door, used very bad language and
ended up by heaping curses on her and
her children. Before going away he stat
ed that he would return once year and
renew the curse.
Mrs Eggert Is sick, and in her nervous
condition is afraid that some of the evil
Tobin is alleged to have called down
upon her little ones, may come true. Eg-
CERT accordingly swore out warrant for
the arrest of Tobin yesterday. Tobin
pleaded not guilty through his attorney,
John l. Howard, and was released on his
own recognizance pending the hearing

NOTHING NEW IN DISTRICT ATvrOR-
NEYSHIP SITUATION.

There are no new developments in the
matter OF the district attorI:A ship All
OF the many rumors in connection with
the aIatrs are without foundation. Sem
ators Nelson and Clapp have as yet had
no conference to consider it, and it is
not likely that any immediate a ton will
be taken. Senator Clapp said IL st night
as he was leaving town. that he had not
given any thought at all to the matter
as yet, and intimated that he was in no
hurry to do So The names of several
new aspirants have been mentioned. F.
G. Ingersoil, of st. Paul, and James A.
Peterson, of Minneapolis, among them
but it is generally believed that the
G b e's statement of several days ago,
to the effect that, next to Ed Young,
Charles c. Haupt, of Fergus Falls had
the best show of landing, IS a correct
summary Of the situation as it is at pres
ent
Minneapolis people are now intent upon
urging the appointment of a man outside
Of the Twin Cities, believing that the
Mill City cannot have the position again
at ally rate. Senator Clapp's absence
from the city has nothing to do with
this matter.
