The State newspaper celebrated its
tenth birthday last Monday, it being
issued for the first time on the 18th day
of February, 1891. In Sundays issue, in
a three column editorial, some of its his
tory was reviewed, and the article is an
interesting one. To those who have
labored so faithfully to sustain the paper
We extend congratulations. They have
succeeded in the face of obstacles which
seemed almost insurmountable and have
certainly deserved to win out" The
State is monument to the faithful work
of the Gonzales brothers, who have hung
On with bull dog tenacity when it seemed
that only failure could result, and we
firmly believe that there has not been,
nor will be, such another instance of de-
vo.ion and sacrifice in the newspaper
history of South Carolina. The writer
has not always agreed with The State
and its methods, but we have believed it
was doing what it thought was best for
all the people, and had full confidence in
its honesty of intention. This article is
not written in any spirit Of fulsome
dattery. We only want to express our
appreciation of magnificent work and
sacrifice on the part of men, who, placing
principle before policy, have forced sue
cess where only failure looked certain
and inevitable.

DENMARK, February 2o.-The past
week was veryfavorable TO farmers, and
the progress made by them is very evident
to the observant traveller. The large
fields, which were covered with decayed
grass and weeds a few day ago, are now
ready for the secondary preparation for
planting. All lands are being pitt in first
rate condition. The influence and ex-
ample of intelligent farmers are closely
followed by the less fortunate. The
interchange of ideas is characteristic OF
this people. All are given The benefit Of
what one knows, or even what one gains
through good or bad experience. Sub
soiins is practiced more than ever and
the scientific adoption of certain plants
for peculiar kind Of soil is receiving
due attention. Succession of crops Is
not altogether new.
Mr.. I. Rich, one Of Denmark'S most
Wide-awake merchants, has purchased
valuable property III the city OF Orange
burg, and will open up a large business

cess assured him at his chosen place Of
location is certainly an !nducemcnt to
him TO make the move. The community

School, having there in various classes
six bright boys and girls
Quite a hne selection of books and
magazines have been placed in the library
OF the High School. Some very useful
school equipments now supply a long
felt need. The working advantages OF
the whole school have reached very
appreciable stage. The progress made
bv all classes thus far is far beyond the
conservative expectation OF teachers and
many patrons.
The Bap,is,s are planning for the in,-
mediate erection of a parsonage, and pos
sibly in the near future all up-todate
church. Rev. Mr.. Ayres seems TO be a
leader as we'll as believer i'll systematic
advancement in the business relations
and requirements of his flock. His coli
erepation is enthusiastic. Good results
are probable.
The Methodist District Conference will
convene here April 1921. Entertainment
committees have been appointed, and Il
hearty welcome is in store for the coming
ministers.
Mr.. 4. c. L,atimer, Jr., was here this
week, representing the United States
post office department in the proposed

A Mule Visits JOhnsOn'S Hotel.

NISItS uOttls
A fine young mule belonging to the
Messrs. Smoak, OF Bambcrg, being ex-
hibited on the streets of Bamberg, and
hearing of the good feed to be had at
.Iohnson's hotel, broke away from his
owners, made for the hotel entrance,
traversed the entrance hall, passed
through three doors, and arriving at the
breakfast room too late for breakfast,
the door being closed, he turned to the
left, passed through another fifty feet Of
hall, down flight of several steps, and
not wishing TO trouble the cook or por-
ter after hours, concluded TO do the next
best thing-take a breakfast of rye. Ere,
however, he could get more than a bite,
he was captured 10y his owners and taken
away. Host Johnson says so disclimi-
Mating, sensible, and enterprising a mule
is deserving of very conSiderate treat

Legislative DOingS.

The house has agreed to the amend
ment of the senate cutting out the appro-
priation of $1OO,0O0 for the public schools
The house resolution censuring Scna'
tor McLaurin came up last Wednesday
and the members refused to adopt it, hy
a vote of 50 to a.
In speaking of the work of the lcgiSia'
ture, the Columbia State says: "NothinG
is more marked about this lcgiSlatur,
than its disposition to improve the public
roads of the State. Whatever may be its
deficiency in other respects 1t has ccr-
tainly done good work on this line
passing more helpful bills on the subject
than have been passed before in the en-
tire legislative history of the State. 1t
has taken Il long time to arouse interest
in good roads, but the people have learn,
ed their value at last, and we arc satisfied
that the broad tire bill is i certainty OF
the near future" This is more evidence
that the good roads idea is gaining in
favor with the people:
A bill providing that the State may
establish an electric light plant in Column
bia for the purpose of lighting all the
public buildings in that city, has passed
The appropriation for pensions has
finally been fixed at $150,000.
The senate killed the resolution pro
viling for commission to investigate
labor conditions at cotton mills.
The senate passed resolution endorS
ing L. S. Senator B. R. Tillman. 1t was
introduced by Senator Robert Aldrich
of Barnwell.
The anti free pass law has been re
pealed at last. The senate, after refusing
to favor the same week or so ago, dur
ing the last hours of the session, repealed
the law. The vote on the third reading
was tie, and Lieutenant Governor Till
man cast the deciding vote in favor OF
repeating the law.
The railroad charter bill was killed
This was bill to domesticate railroad
corporations, so they could have suit:
brought against them in the State courts
There was another movement made by
the house to condemn Senator McLaurln
by tacking the resolution of to one com
mending Senator Tillman. The speaker
ruled, however, that they could be con
sidered separately, so the resolution com
mending Senator Tillman was promptly
adopted. The condemnatory resolution
of Senator McLaurin was rejected.

DEAR HERALD:-While kept in doors
by a severe cold, l have been enjoying
the unrivaled humor in "GeorSla Scenes,
by Longstreet. For the benefit Of some
of your readers who, perhaps, have never
read the book, permit me to make the
following extract: Ned Brace is known
as character of intense love for fun, anC
fun he would have, on all occasions and
at all risks. He was on q visit to Savan
nah, and while there stepped into ar
oyster yender to take lunch. The fol
lowing is what the writer says of Ned or
this occasion. We Ned and Mr.
Hall, his companion, who was really tho
author of the book had not been seateC
three minutes when we heard: "Ah {
Monsieur Middletong, you say you hab
the bes' oystar in Ia cittee, vel, me shal
soon see" The door opened and in walked
gay, smirky little Frenchman. Ne(
rushed at him, grabbed his hand ant
exclaimed: How do you do, my ole
friend; had no idea of meeting you
here; oh, Mr.. Squeezelfanter, where have
YOU been all this time?" "Sair, said the
Frenchman." me tank you YER much tc

Come, come John,' said Ned, 'quit

pardon me if am mistaken, | thought
you were my old friend Jack"
"Vel sair, my name is Jacque" ''Ah"'
said Ned, l thought l couldn't be mis-
taken, knew your whole family, your
sister Patsey and Dilsev and Brother
Ichabod and your aunt
"Oh mon Dieu, mon Dieu, no, that
was one 'mercane familee, dare neber

Now come good Jack, look at me,

ED1roH THE B>MEEHG HEHALD:--l
wish to commend with all my heart your
worthy efforts for the several needed i'm
provcmcnts in our town.
1t is almost impossible for men, to say
nothing of the ladies, to get along our
streets on Il rainy, sloppy day. 1t is y
shame we dc not provide better side
walks for the ladies Of our town as we'll
for the business interests of Bambcrg.
1t is unpleasant not to say 4 menace to
have to walk down street after Il day s
rain. do not see how any one could
object to being taxed 4 little, if necessary,
in order to provide clean, hard sidewalks.
If they could be once provided we would
not be without them for anything. And
this Improvement TO our streets should
not be confined to Main street. When
the work is begun and every preparation
has been made for the work the cost to
put all our most frequcnted walks in
fine condition would not be SO very eX-
pensive.

The record of the legislature which
adjourned last Saturday is distinctly dis
appointing. While it is true that the
body devoted itself largely to bill-killing
some good ones met their death along
with the bad. For our part, We are not
surprised. While some newspapers ex,
pected great things of the new general
assembly, We were of the opinion that no
more, if as much, could be expected as
from its predecessors. This was the
first legislature since 1890 which was
composed of any appreciable number of
former Conservatives, and the record is
that they make no better legislators than
Reformers, if as good.
