NO more, a. q poll tar, while the
town citizen is s~iped up for about
seven dollars poll tax.
Nor il this all the trouble OF the

along and paves his sidewalk, and
then the city comes along and col
lects the cost of the paving from the
citiz IN. 1. may be $500 or $2oO.-

length OF sidewalk owned by the

Once more, the street force comes
along and macadamizes the street in

the city comes hight along behind
and makes the town citizen shell out
ope-fourth of the cost of this ma

Trapping q Professor by Wire.

Among some intensely amusing college
scrapes told by "a Graduate" in the Sep
tember Ladies' Home Journal, is the story
of certain professor, not much liked by
his pupils, who was to be married. The
lady lived in Cleveland. And the students
that loved (?) him were not, of course, in
vited. But they determined that in some
way he should hear from them. And he
did, On the day appointed the professor
took the train at 10 a. M, due to arrive at
Cleveland at 1880 p. m. About eleven
o'clock Jim Townsend rushed to the tele-
graph office and sent off this dispatch:
"Chief of Police, Cleveland, Ohio. Man
coming on train No. 6, tall, we'll dressed,
frock coat, silk hat, side whiskers. Es-
capped lunatic. Hold! Shrewd, therefore
beware! Strange case. Will say name
Finalli. Mistake. Thinks he is a profes-
sor in college. Delusion. Escort to
home of friends at No. Euclid Avenue"
This message reached its detination
long before train No. 6 reached Cleveland, {,
20 that when Professor Finalli alighted
it was to walk straight into the custody
of three detectives. They would listen to
no words of reason, but escorted him out
to the house on Euclid Avenue, the home
of his intended bride.

Truly the brother in black" is having
a hard time just now. In the last few
weeks numbers of negroes have been
-fynched or burned at the stake in different
parts of the country. The worst of it is,
this spirit of lawlessness and cruelty to-
ward the negro seems to be strongest
beyond the Mason and Dixon line.
Really, it is serious state of affairs. 1t
is true some of these lynchings have oc-
CURED in Southern States, and no one
deplores it more than We do. But the
negroes had just as we'll learn now that
white men are the same, whether North
or South, and that there are crimes which
will not be tolerated. But where will
such tendency to disregard the law
finally land US? Already in some Sec
tions negroes have not only been lynched,
burnt, or mobbed, but all black people
have been driven away. Those sltizens
who have been guilty of such practices
seem to be living up to the idea that the
only good negro is a dead negro.

Ramberg is slowly but steadily il

Bamberg is slowly but steadily i'm
proving, and, indeed, our growth is not
SO slow after all; I'm fact, we people in
Bamberg thinkwe have the best town in
the low-counfry, and we have. The Car
Isle Fitting School and the graded school
leave nothingto be desired in the way of
educational facilities; our tax rate is the
lowest of any town this size xe know of,
and we~haye the finest arteSian water
anywhere. The solidity of our business
men is shown by the very few failures,
and the several manufacturing enterprises
here aye doing we'll. The town and its
people are in good circumstances gener-
ally, and we are on a sound financial
basis, while our outlook was never
brighter Each year the trade of the
town constantly expands, and new busi-
ness territory is continually being added
to our resources. There is no better bust
ness place anywhere than Bamberg, and
we expect to handle more cotton this
season than ever. With increased facili-
ties for accommodating planters, it is but
natural that cotton will be brought here
this season from hitherto unknown terri
tory.

HE MEANT WE'LL.

An Obligtn9 Man Who Made m EN-
barrassinE Mistake.
A young editor took an apartment on
South Twelfth street. The landlady
said frankly to him: 'T will tell you,
sir, that my husband is a worthless fcl-
low. I have to support him, and he
sometimes comes home very late,
drunk. There Is no other objection to
my house." The editor said this was
no matter and thought no more Of it
until O few nights later, when a great
uproar In the street awoke him. lie
looked out Of the window and saw a
man lying on the doorstep shouting rib
aid things. "The husband" thought
the editor. "I'll 80 down and let him
in"
He ran forth in his pyjamas, grabbed
the husband by the neck and, jerking
him into the hallway, proceeded to drag
him up stairs. But the man made
strong objections to this treatment. He
howled oaths and abuse, kicked, strug-
gled, even pulled out handful Of the
young editors hair. but this was in
vain, for the youth is strong and Of a
determined mind, and he was bound
that he would do his landlady good
turn.
He had got perhaps three parts Of
the way up stairs with his burden
when two heads were poked In the dim
light over the balustrade, and the land
lady's voice said, 'Why, Mr.. Blank,
what are you doingT'
The editor painted as he took fresh
hold and at the same time ducked q
sharp uppercut: 'I'm bringing your
husband up, ma'am. He's drunk again,
I'm sorry to say"
From the other head on the landing
these words then issued in deep bass
voice: what do you mean, young fel-
ler, by drunk again? I'm this lady's
husband. That man doesn't belong
here"
Instantly realizing his mistake, the
editor dumped his charge out into the
street again. Then he returned and
apologized lamely to the rightful hus-
band for his strange words.-Philadel-
phia Record.

TurninH the Tab1ea.

'aTurning the tables" in the sense of

most part Of Mauritania wood inlaid

KaRr Banking.

The Kafirs have q simple method Of
banking. Before setting out to trade
they select one Of their number as
their banker and put all their money
in his bag. When an article is pur-
chased by any Of those who are in
this combine, the price is taken by the
banker from the bag, counted several
times and then paid to the seller, after
which all the bank depositors cry out
to the banker In the presence Of two
witnesses selected, "You owe me so
much" This is then repeated by the
witnesses. The general accounting
comes between the banker and his sew
eral depositors when all the purchases
have been made, after which all the
