We print our paper on Tuesday this
week, in order that the editor may take a
holiday for one day.
The bill to repeal the war taxes passed
the lower house of congress last Monday
by unanimous vote.
The Legislature has changed the salaries
of many county officers throughout the
State. Next week we will publish the
salaries Bamberg county's officials will
receive this year.
A bill has passed both houses OF the
legislature, extending the time for the
payment of State and county taxes until
the 3Oth day of March. This will be good
news to many who have not paid.
Prof. Clarence E. Boyd, of the Carlisle
Fitting School, Bamberg, S. c., has been
spending several days in the city viewing
The Exposition. Prof. Boyd has charge
of the chair of Latin and Greek at the
Bamberg institution. He was graduated
from Wofford College in 1897, being the
youn gest man in his class and one OF its
brightest students. Prof. Boyd also pur-
sued special course of study at Wander
bilt University. He is, of course, delight,

that it has not been more widely advertls

A Story Of Grant When He Was a
"Pleb." at West Point.
There is story told of General Grant
when a pleb. He had just entered on
his first day in 'pleb." camp. A first
classman who had noticed the boys
strong build int1mated to him it would
be q pleasure to have him call imme-
diately at the seniors tent. Grant
went. There Is q rule at West Point,
which was rule then as we'll, that any
cadet who asks another to perform
menial labor for him shall be dismissed
from the service. The first classman
knew too much to ask his pleb. visitor
outright to do anything Of the kind,
but here is the way he went at It:
II presume, Mr.. Grant, that you have
lived on a farm, and, this being the
case, you have had undoubtedly good
opportunity to note the effect Of the
suns rays on certain objects. Now, If
you had lett water bucket that was
innocent of holding single drop Of the
fluid out in the sun from its rising to
It's setting, what do you think, sir,
would be the particular effect upon that
particular water bucketT
II think" said Grant, that it would
get warped and leaky."
"Very good, Mr.. Grant. You show
erudition beyond your years. Now, If
you will notice my water bucket, you
will see that 1t is as dry as q chip.
Now, by the further exercise Of your
knowledge, Mr.. Grant can you tell me
by what means I may prevent the
warping and leaking Of my bucket?"
"Have it filed" said Grant.
Every good again, Mr.. Grant, but
note that you said have it filed not
'f1ll it, That necessarily ms3ns that
some one must fill 1t for me. f6u have
shown 80 much acumen that l fear
to violate your prescription either in
letter or In spirit, which should do If
I presumed to carry the bucket to the
water tank myself"
Grant filled the bucket.

An Interesting Marriage.

Smallpox did not stop the marriage of
Miss Zelma Beerwald, of Philadelphia
and Mr.. Herman Brown, of Blackville, S.
c. While Miss Clara Beerwald was lying
seriously ill of the disease in room up
stairs Miss Zelma was married on the
front doorstep of her home, 2214 Market
street. The bridegroom stood outside the
door on the step and the bride stood in
side. The ceremony was performed by
Rabbi NJ. NJ. Eichler, of the Beth Israel
Congregation.
About week ago Miss Clara Beerwald
took smallpox and Miss Zelma was in the
house when the quarantine was put on.
Her marriage to Mr.. Brown was arrang-
ed to take place yesterday, and being SUI
perstitious of a postponement, the couple
decided to to be married last night, even
though they would not see each other for
several weeks. The necessary permission
was obtained yesterday from Chief Good,
of the board of health, and a marriage
| license taken out Considerable difficulty
was experienced in getting some one to
perform the ceremony. Several magis-
trates were asked to do it, but all refused
to run the risk of catching smallpox.
Rabbi Eicher finally decided to perform
the ceremony if permission could be had
from President Solinger, of Beth Israel
Con gregation. This was done, and at
$50 o'clock the bridegroom, the sabbi,
Miss Rosa Brown, a nephew of the bride
groom, and Mr. Morris Rosenberg arrived
at the house.
Many persons in the neighborhood
knew of the coming marriage and when
the bridegroom arrived at the house he
was greeted with large crowd, as well
rs by his promised bride. Little time was
lost in preliminaries. AS soon as MIR.
Brown and his part of the wedding party
arrived at the house the front door was
opened by Miss Beerwald. Those who
watched the ceremony from inside the
house were the brides mother and the
nurse who has charge of the patient. The
full Hebrew ritual was used in the cere-
mony. The bride drank wine from the
same cup that the bridegroom did and he
afterward placed wedding ring upon her
finger. 1t took just two minutes and
forty seconds to perform the ceremony.
After it was finished the bridegroom kiss
ed the bride goodby and, accompanied by
his nephew, Jumped into cab and drove
off.
The bridegroom is prosperous young
business man of Blackville, 8, y. he Will
return to the south, where he will await
the lifting of the quarantine.-Phlladel

PROTECTION OF WORDS.
A Plea For q Rest For Our Familiar
Quotations.

Z
Quotations.
In these days when everybody Is
writing and everybody seems to sue
ceed would 1t not be we'll to start a
society for the protection Of words and
phrases? Many of these are so bru'
tally overworked by the amateur. The
winged words, the words that burn
the thoughts that breathe, the telling
phrases, do they not clamor loudly fol-
q rest? That very sentence affords an
Illuminating example Of what l mean
How apt, how vivid, how expressive II
would be If all its epithets had not lost
their vitality through overwork! TC
the sated reader the whole sentence Is
but the echo of an echo. 1t not merely
means nothing, but it is robbed even OF
its sound and fury.
The greenhorn that complained OF
"Hamlet" that it was too full Of quota
tions unconsciously expressed a great
fact through the medium Of bull. In
a wrongheaded way he pointed out that
constant reiteration has reduced the
grandest passages in the language to
mere commonplaces. Give our familiar
quotations q rest. Lay to sleep our
household words. Let fortune fol-
awhile cease to favor the brave. Let
US feign that the poet is made. Let q
man who would steal another's thun'
der be arrested for felony. Let us win
no more golden opinions. Let the IA
vored few withdraw to some select Sc.
clusion and the countless thousands to
some dry eyed privacy.
Thus may nouns, adjectives and
phrases, after a long rest, reawaken
with the freshness Of the morning upon
them, their original meanings recreat,
ed, energetic, effective, brilliant, as on
the day when they were first conceived
and brought forth.-Era.

The Fertilizer Bill.

Senator Mayfeld's fertilizer plant bill
has been killed by the Senate by a vote
of 20 to 10. The proposition involved
the expenditure of over million dollars
1t was argued that the State didn't have
the money to begin with, and even if it
did the idea was impracticable. When
Senator Mayield admitted that he pro-
posed to raise the money by additional
taxation, increasing the levy to about six
mills, that settled the fate of the bill. If
there is one thing that the Legislature
fights shy of it is increasing the levy, and
Mr.. Mayfeld's bill was dead from the
moment it was admitted that the levy
would be increased.

THOUGHT She Was q Calf.

When Nine. Schumann-Heink was
thirteen, her father was transferred to
Gratz, where q singing teacher, Ma
rletta Won Leclair, recognizing the
young girls talent, offered to give her
singing lessons without compensation.
For two years she studied nothing but
solfeggios. Then she began learning
songs. She had very deep contralto
without any high notes at that time
One day a caller, hearing her sing
Schubert's der Tod und das Mad
chen" in an adjoining room, said to
her teacher, "I did not know that you
taught young calves"
"She is not a young calf" replied
Marietta Won Leclair. "Some day she
will be a great singer" ."-Gustav Kobbe

Senator Mayfield's Speech

In opposing the bill in the Senate, re-
pealing the charter of the Virginia-Caro-
lima Chemical Company, Senator May
field made the following remarks:
Senator Mayfieh said that when it is
recalled that in some sections of the State
the farms have produced lesser number
of bales of cotton than tons of fertilizer
consumed, some idea can be had of their
desperate straits. He then went into the
details of the bill and the plan proposed.
He was strongly in favor of some legisla-
ton as any one, but he was opposed to
this bill. He thought the State could not
maintain its right to prescribe the con-
ditions set forth in the bill. Again, if the
Virginia Carolina company is the unholy
trust that has been alleged, it should not
be allowed to do business in the State
even under the sanctity of the State. No
State permission can make right that
which is wrong of itself. He read from
decisions of the courts showing that a
State cannot lay down as a condition to
corporation entering the State its agree
ment to be bound by the State courts. If
we pass this resolution it will come in
conflict with the federal courts and will
defeat it's very object. Furthermore, the
attorney general has stated that he does
not want this bill to pass; that it will be
inimical to the interests ofthe State and
| will defeat the suits now being carried on
by attorney general against the company
The attorney general is prosecuting the
virginia. Carolina rs trust and trying tt
drive it out of the State altogether, where
as if this bill passes the company cal
come into the Stateand do business. He
said that the company has been declared
trust and the attorney general is fighting
it in the courts as such, yet this bill un
dertakes to allow this very trust to come
into the State and do business. If this /:
passed it will set at naught the suit thai
has already been commenced. 1t woult
let the trust 90 unwhipped ofjustice. He
said he favored every measure that would
give our State courts jurisdiction in pre-
| ference to the federal courts, but he knew
of no way by which the constitution o
the United States can be circumvented
Where State law comes in conflict will
the federal law the State law will g
down. And this State cannot make thi'
or any other company pledge itself to b'
bound by the State courts. We nccl
: some legislation, but this is not the meas
ure we need. 1t is 4 special law and a
such will not stand the test of our owl
courts. He again asserted that the at
torney general did not want this bill t.
pass"

Fire Friday Night.

Last Friday night about ten o'clock the
alarm of fire was sounded, and it was
found that the bakery of Mr.. Jessee Nc
Cormack, situated in the rear of his store,
was on fire. A crowd quickly gathered,
and by hard work the flames were soon
extinguished. The roof was torn off and
partly burnt, but the loss is not heavy.
The fire originated by some fellow sleep
ing on top of the oven, and it is presumed
that the occupant was smoking and the
fire caught his blanket. 1t was nice
warm place to sleep, but it got too warm
for him Friday night. The building is
owned by Col. Jno. F. Folk, and when it
is repaired, will be made lodger proof.
