stricken. The passengers all rushed out
of their state-rooms and the deck was
crowded. Captain Hall went down into
the steerage and found a family of seven
fastened into a room by the force of he
Shock, tanning the door. Two girls of
a and II years, were pinioned beneath
fallen timbers. The girls were released
and the family assisted out of their
DerthS. The captain said the vessel
would sink. and all hurriedly prepared
to leave. Lifeboats and RATS were low

the passengers lowered to the boats. The
collision happened at 40, and the yes

4 LOsino Advancement.

Farmer Goodman suffered repeated
losses from his hog yard, and after a
good deal of patient watching discovered
that his neighbor, Mr. Nabber, was the
thief
Being an exceedingly good natured
man, Mr.. Goodman called on his neigh
Dor, and said to him: "Neighbor Nabber,
1 have positive proof that you have been
-er-um-well, rather careless in rela-
ton to my hogs My losses in conse-
auence have been much greater than /
can afford. I would like to make COM
promise with you, and not compromise
you by going to law. I'll give you 500
pounds of pork every year if you will
pledge me not to-er-that is-not to be
guilty of any further contributory negli-
gence in connection with my hog yard"
But Nabber declined to make any
amicable arrangements; in fact, he pre-
tended to be offended by MIR. Goodman's
allegations. Conditions soon became
even worse and good Mr.. Goodman was
driven to heroic measure. He had his
neighbor, Mr.. Nabber, indicted for hog
stealing.
On the witness stand he told all about
his offer to compromise, and said: II am
willing to renew it right now. If the
Judge will give consent to the arrange
ment, and the prisoner will agree not to
modest my hogs any more, I'll give him
500 pounds of pork every year, and let
this case be dismissed.
"Well, prisoner, what have you to say
to that ?" asked the judge.
After some moments of reflection with
eyes tloorward, the prisoner raised his
head and made reply:
"W-a-l, jedge, I reckon I'll have to ac-
cept the proposition under all of the cir
cumstances; but I'm satisfied I shall lose
right smart of money by it.

Bamberg's Example Commended.

The town Of Bamberg is setting a very
good example to other towns in the State
in the matter of road building. The
county of Bamberg is not in good trim
financially and so the town will vote a
sum of money to be expended in building
roads to the court house. This is very
laudable in Bamberg. 1t is really the
duty of the county commissioners to see
that the people have good and straight
roads to get to the courthouses on. This
is money to the county but most court
house towns are satisfied to leave this
matter to the commissioners while Bam-
berg has undertaken it herself. What
people 90 for themselves always does
them heap more good than those things
that they get somebody else to do:
Florence has built several pieces Of road
through the efforts of her business men,
the burden that ought to have been born,
by all falling on few, in some cases a
very few but those pieces of road give
Florence more cause for pride and self
congratulation than all of the streets in
the city. We commend Bamberg's plan
to the other towns Of the State.-Florence

ON Taxes in New Counties

EDITOR THE BAMBERG HERALD:-So
many indignant taxpayers have joined
hands with me and urged me to "shoot
again, Luke, or give me the gum till l
must shoot again or have my Christmas
gun taken away from me, and l must
''shoot Christmas of course must!
Coming down to a matter of fact, there
is tidal wave sweeping the lower part
of the county, an avalanche, a cascade, a
mighty torrent which knows no bounds
|-Scylla on one hand, Chyrybdis on the
other; a mighty force; centripetal here,
centrifugal there, making a malestorm
pure and simple. 1t cannot be stopped.
Stop the tide stop the day! Then stop
public opinion !! ! Never.
Bamberg county was legalized by a
special, act of the legislature! Where was
the constitution? That is the question"
as Hamlet would say. But the question"
was not considered, the new county was !
Being part and parcel of the State, part
of the lower part of the county (Bamberg)
can be part and parcel of another county
by special act. See the point? Law is
law; precedent is precedent. Now, if we
can 60 outside of the constitution to
formulate Bamberg county we can go out
side of it to go where We please.
A proposition: Let the whole of Bam.
berg county come to vote, with all OF
the Western edge of Colleton and the
Eastern edge of Barnwell and vote to-
eether and make the court house central
and make legal county. This will make
our taxes as low as any in the State.
But if we cannot come to this proposition,
then we will apply to the constitution of
South Carolina which at very late day
unwittin gly ratified the act of secession"
Wonderful you say! Not more wonderful
than true.
Our complaint is just. One taxpayers
taxes in four years are 5000 greater per
yer, $500 in four years. Another's $3.50;
another's, with less property, is $50, more!
And, to cap the climax, taxpayer to
Barnwell on IS acres always paid $3.50
now pays $3.50! Facts, fellowcitizens !!
Truth crushed to earth will rise again,
The eternal years of Gods are hers,
But error, wounded, writhes in pain
And dies amidst her worshippers
The making of Bamberg county was
during the Cleveland panic, and the town
of Bamberg owned the now county of
Bamberg, whether man wanted to vote
for the new county or not he was made
to do so. citizens, the panic has
past. Every mans house is now his
castle even if there is mortgage over it
Coercion will not count. When the
day of election comes, and it will come,
so help me God, let any one approach
YOU who holds mortgage of your home
nr your property and dictate your vote,
and you report the same, the courts will
decide the consequences. Voters. coer-
ci0n is crime! TAXPAYER.
