ing the principal articles in the list, by far the
largest in the list being cotton. Our imports
from Spain are chiefly fruits and nuts. wines,
chemicals, cotks and cork bark and iron ore OF
special grade not readily produced in the
United States. Lemons and oranges form much
smaller proportion Of the imports now than a few
years ago. due to the fact that citrus fruits are
now largely produced in the United states. The
importation Of raisns has also greay reduced in
value, by reason of tile increased production of
raisins in the United States Imports of pre-

The Express Robbery.

The News and Courier has the follow
ing to say about the arrest Of Daniel Barr
charged with completely in the Branch
vile express robbery:
"If Daniel Barr, the seventeen-year old
lad, who was arrested by the federal au-
thorities several days ago, suspected of
completely in the recent Branchville train
robbery, knows anything of the hold up
he has succeeded thus far in keeping the
information strictly to himself. In gen.
eral make up and appearance Barr is an
ordinary country youth, but his keen gray
eyes are full of expression and there is
something about the cut of his features
that gives one an idea of unusual intelli-
gence. The boy has been subjected to
the most rigid examination, but so far as
can be learned he has thrown little or no
light on the identity of the bandits.
Joe Carson, colored, who also occupies
a cell at the county Jail, charged with
completely in the robbery, has divulged
no more than Barr. Carson owns the
team which was used to haul the express
safe from the train to the Edisto river.
The officers at work on the case are of the
opinion that there is something peculiar
about both Barr and Carson being called
on at the point of Winchesters to assist
in the hold up, when there appear to have
been at least seven of the highwaymen to
do the work.

Legislative DOings.

The Senate has adopted resolution
fixing the date Of adjournment Febru-
ary 18th.
Hon. Jno. W. Crum has introduced a
bill in the house repeating the old road
law of Barnwell county, in so far as it re-
lates to Bamberg county.
No final action has as yet been taken
on Senator Mayfield's bill to establish q
fertilizer factory, although the house has
provided for commission to inquire into
the advisability of its establishment. This
commission to report at the next session.
The bill introduced by our delegation
to use this countys part of the dispensary
profits for the expenses of the chain gang
has passed both houses.
The question of biennial sessions of
the legislature it seems is to be submitted
to the people, the house having adopted a
resolution to this end.
The bill fixing the salaries of county
officers provides the following salaries for
the officers of Bamberg county: Auditor,
$500; Sheriff, $3.50; Clerk of Court, $3.50;
Supervisor, $3.50. The sheriff is also to
receive twenty cents per day for dieting
prisoners. Senator Mayfield attempted
to have the prisoners dieted by the county
commissioners, but has failed 50 far.
Treasurer, $500; Coroner, 800; County
Superintendent of Education, $75. This
bill will no doubt be very much amended
on it's third reading, as the salaries of the
various officials in all counties are very
much unequal.
Thehouse has passed a bill providing for
the Office of State insurance commissioner.

Crank and Epicure.

"A travelling crank and epicure had
the audacity to ask the head steward
shortly before my boat sailed from
Liverpool for New York." said wait
er on an ocean liner, If he would mind
changing three Of the courses on the
bill Of fare for others which he prefer
red He was Informed politely but
firmly that there were other passen-
gers besides himself sailing on the YES
sci and that If he thought he could
not survive on the excellent fare pro-
vided during the voyage all he had to
do was to book with another line and
his passage money would be returned
to him.
STEAMSHIP companies are not in the
habit Of returning passage money when
once paid, as is well known, but In
this instance we would willingly have
done so.
"Our fastidious passenger did not
book with another line, however, and,
what is more, he ate enough at each
meal on the trip to satisfy two men
with sea air appetites and presented

treme good nature to his likes and dis.
likes throughout the voyage, the mag

MISAPPLIED WORDS.
Some Expressions the Use of Whfcl
Should Be Reformed.

Some Expressions the Use Of Which
Should Be Reformed.
Extra" is an abused word. People
say extra good" or extra cheap" in
order to intensity good" and cheap"
But extra has no such force. So far
from tntensifying given condition, 1t
denies it by indicating that the thing
so described lies outside the sphere or
quality named. Thus, extra judiclap
does not mean more than ordinarily ju-
dicial. as though judge had dredged
his conscience in giving an opinion, but
outside Of judicial and therefore inca
pable Of being judged at all in the pre-
scribed way.
A grieyous fault Is the use Of 'iden-
tify" in phrase like this, HE Is iden-
titled with the characterization move
ment." A man can only identify him
self with another man or set Of men.
He can identify himself with the op-
poDents Of vaccination-and even here
the word carries q shade of meaning Of
its own, distinguishing the phrase FROM
such one as "he joined the opponents
Of vaccination"
One should not speak Of ".high" or
'1ow" caliber; but, remembering the
meaning Of "caliber," one should apply
to it only such adjectives as great" or
"small."
1t is wrong to speak Of consensus
Of opinion" The word consensus" it.
self means an agreement Of thought
and should stand alone.-Academy.

ITALIAN VIOliNS.
The First "Strad" Sent to London
Could Find No Purchaser.

| The First "Strad" Sent to London
Could Find No Purchaser.
Italian violins have not always held
the supremacy they now enjoy. 1t was
not indeed till the beginning Of the
nineteenth century that they came into
vogue to any extent outside their ma
tive land. Previously Jacob Steiner
Q621-S3) was the favorite maker, and
his high model had been almost exclu-
sively copied by his fellow Germans
and the different makers in France and
England. When the elder Corvette,
who had been q merchant before enter
ing the musical profession, came to
London, In 1888, he brought with him
some instruments by Stradiyari. The
result Of this endeavor to introduce
Italian work into England fills one with
pathetic wonder. 1t Is almost beyond
belief. AS he could not get as much as
f5 (S25) for violoncello he was obliged
to send the instrument back to Italy
for a bad speculation. Five pounds for
a "Strad," and not single purchaser
to be found!
This incident in itself furnishes suffi-
cient testimony to the slavish following
Of the great German maker and the
strong prejudice Of the violinists Of
that period In favor Of the high model.
It ia indeed the players who are most
to blame for the slow adoption Of the
fiat model, for the creator must make
what is necessitated by the demand;
but the eighteenth century fddlers, at
any rate in England, France and Ger
many, seem for the most part to have
been content that their violins should
possess small sweet tone, never real
izing the lack Of power and sonority.-

John Aliens Story.

1t was during the Cleveland Admins
tration that Private John Allen made his
famous reply to the equally famous speech
of Congressman Boutelle. of Maine, says
writer in the Kansas City Star, Presi-
dent Cleveland had decided to allow the
captured Confederate battle flags to be re-
turned to the different States whence they
came. Boutelle made masterful address
on the subject. He reminded his hearers
of all the notable Federal victories and
ended in blaze of glory as he painted
by word of mouth the final surrender.
When Boutelle took his seat he had so far
carried his hearers away that those in the
gallery and the Republican members of
the House burst forth into cheers.
Suddenly from the Democratic side was
heard the calm, soothing tones Of John
Allen as he said: "Mr. Speaker" He
told of his joining the Southern cause and
following one of the flags about which
the discussion arose.
