Still Hungry,

The district round village in Stafford
shire is inhabited by sturdy race of col.
liers and iron orkers. Some years ago 6
wager was made concerning one of these
worthless, whose eating feats were the
admiration of his acquaintance, that he
would at sitting eat roast goose, to.
gether with a reasonable quantity OF
vegetables, and at the same time drink a
gallon of beer.
The event was decided one Saturday
evening 1t wellknown hostelry, the
bird, vegetables and ale being duly con.
sumed. When being escorted homeward
in triumph by one of his hackers the hero
of the evening plaintiyely remarked to
his friend:
"Bill, doan' thee tell my own woman,
as ct that ere guse, or else her woan' gle
me no supper"

A Duluth attorney recently went East
to visit his old home, and the first Sun
day he was there he attended church.
After service he visited the Sunday
school and saw many familiar faces
among the pupils, although they had all
grown considerably during the years he
had been away.
At the request of the superintendent
the visitor addressed the school, and in
opening he asked if there were any
present who remembered him-who had
ever seen him before.
The hand of little fellow in the front
row Immediately went up. Il do-1do!"
he said.
A satisfied smile crept over the face of
the visitor He was glad that the children
remembered him.
Now, where was it you saw me before?'
he asked the boy who had raised his hand.
You was the clown in the circus last
summer replied the youth, enthusiastic
cally. I'D never forget your face."-

FOUR YEARS OF WORK.

The first of July four years ago the
present editor assumed charge of this
newspaper, and in doing so our only
promise was to print newspaper, one
that would give the news without favor
or yarnish and such as the people were
willing to pay for. Possibly we have not
done 80 we'll as We might, certainly not
as well as we wished, for the paper has
not been as strong sheet as we would
have liked to have printed. We havethe
satisfaction of knowing, however, that
full value has been given for every dollar
received, and the Improvements invested
in the plant have been such as to give US
the best printing outfit in this part of the
State. We can print better sheet If We
get the support, but the people of Bam-
berg can only get so good paper as they
are willing to pay for. Newspapers are
run to make money, and that proprietor
who pays no attention to the financial
end of his business will soon furnish a
job for the Sheriff.
But it is not our purpose to complain.
Possibly the paper has had all the patron
age it deserved, but We want to bring out
the fact that with an increase in our ad-
vertising and subscription list we can
furnish still better service. In fact it is
our intention during the next six months
to materially improve the paper. 1t will
be enlarged and we expect to be in posi-
tion to give more news than ever before.
Editorially it will continue to advocate
what it deems best for the upbuilding of
Bamberg, town and county, and while
some may disagree with US, no man can
say that there is ever any selfish motive
back of our opinions. Possibly we have
made mistakes; all men do, and editors
are no exception to the rule. But it is a
matter of great satisfaction to know that
our people have endorsed our opin ons
along many lines, and the work done has
been of benefit to the town and county.
In the future We shall try to give better
service than ever before, and in our efforts
for the good of the community We ask the
support and cooperation of all our citi-
zens. Every dollar spent with your home
paper strengthens the hands of the editor
and enables him to furnish better sheet,
and it also brings its indirect benefits.
While our merchants as rule have not
vet learned in full measure the benefits of
advertising, yet we are gratified that the
advertising patronage of the paper has
largely increased under its present man
agement, and we hope for greater things
in the future.

Some newspapers should bear in mind
the fact that John L. McLaurin is now a
private citizen and is entitled to treat
ment as such. This continued parade OF
him and his business affairs before the
public is out of place.

1t is not often that relief committee

money, as was the case in Spartanburg
This shows the liberality and substantial

Dispensary affairs IN Charleston are IN
a fearful muddle, surely. However, we
hope the legislative delegation will stand
by their recommendation of L. Arthur
O'Neill. They should not change at the
bidding of the State board of control.
~
In Bamberg it seems that what IS every
body's business is nobody's business, and
as consequence there is little concert Of
action among our people. Unity OF pur-
pose and action is what accompiishes
something, g, and we need more of this spirit.
~
The board of trustees have acted wisely
and we'll in the matter of selling the school
bonds. Under their plan We feel sure the
highest possible price will be obtained
and we are also of the opinion that the
bonds will sell enough above par to bring
the interest down to something like foul
per cent. In fact, We have already heard
of prospective purchasers who will pay
about this price for them.

What is going to be done about the gooo
roads matters Other surrounding towns
are going ahead in this most important
work, and Bamberg cannot afford to be
left behind. We must keep up with the
procession or we will die of dry rot. Il
the work is to be done ON the highways in
time for the marketing of the present crop
it should be started Immediately. We are
informed that the convicts cannot be OBJ
tanned is why the matter has been delayed,
but it seems to US that free labor could be
procured for the present at least. We
will have the school building, now let US
build good highways SO that people can
come here easily from long distance
Miles do not stand in the way if the roads
are good and hard, and we feel satisfied
that the trade of the town can be increased
twenty-five per cent. or more if We will
get good roads leading to town. This is
not only matter of convenience and
pleasure, it means dollars and cents as well
and our people are standing in their own
light not to take hold of the good roads
question in earnest 1t will not do to sit
down and expect few men to do all the
work. The whole community will receive
the benefits, and every citizen should be
patriotic enough to give his efforts and
encouragement. Let there be no delay,
but let every one of US put shoulder to
the wheel.

There is an old adage that "a woman

| recently visited a young mother and
was greatly pleased to see within her
home evidences OF her thrift in various
directions. She held up little gown
which she was making and laughingly
said: L thought Charles old drawers
would make nice warm night-gowns for

during her leisure time accomplished

able. comfortable floor covering. The
same young woman wears a jaunty little
Elton jacket made from an old coat of
her fathers. The skirts of her old wrap
pers make good kitchen aprons, or do
service for the smaller children, made
into bibs. The best part from her old
tablecloths is cut in squares and
doiIies. The legs of papa's panta-
looms are long enough for two legs

broom. and then the willow part was
painted white and enameled, making a
sweet. fresh cab for the chubby little
one. It was quite as '@good as new

something better than she could afford.
Her home may lack many of the latest

to push il into the narrow opening Of
the bank.
Where is your soldier daddy, my dear
little girl?'
Meg jumped to her feet and almost
screamed, but when she saw the kind
face of comrade gazing at her from
the other end Of the bench she changed
her mind and smiled, He was a very
splendid comrade in gold braid and shin
ing buttons, but his face made her forget
to be awestricken. 1t was the friendliest
face Meg had seen for many a day.
''Sit down, little maid" the deep voice
went on. Il was too weary to go further
find little girl, being thankful for Il
daddy who is not being taken away.
Since cannot follow my dead comrade,
let me hear about my living comrade."
And then, strange as it may seem,
Meg told the entire story Of her simple
little life. even to her turkey disappoint-
ment. and the Thanksgiving bank which
was to be opened when the soldierdaddy
came home.
The comrade beside her listened and
nodded and once he coughed and was
obliged to use his handkerchief, for the
coughing made his eyes water.
''Well, well,'' he said, when the sweet,
brave tale was ended, Il think there is a
regular nest Of heroes at your house. 1t
cannot afford to feed such patriots on
turkey at least once 4 year. Dear mer'
''Oh, | do not mind the turkey so
much as l did," Meg FASTENED to say.
Mother happened to remember the other
day that daddy is tremendously fond
of corned beef
The comrade got up just then and
walked quite around the bench before he
sat down. Finally he said: rs there
any objection to me putting IN 4 thank
full thought in that magic bank?"
"Oh, no, sir" Meg was ali dimples and
smiles.
Il should like comrade to know thai
another comIade is proud to have met
his daughter. And you must tell me
where you live child, for | shall want to
welcome your daddy home by and by
Meg, in a flutter OF excitement, pre-
pared a slip of paper and the comrade
walked again around the bench. while
he seemed to have some difficulty in
settling his sword in place The slip was
written. Meg was told to turn her head
away while it was put in the bank and
then, after little further talk, the COM
radeS babe each other a CHEEKY goodby
That evening Mrs. Thompson heard all
about the experience and later. in the
excitement of looking for her father, the
affair was forgotten.
Two days before Thanksgiving, Meg's
soldier father came home, and you should
have been there to see the fun. Never
were three people happier. All the clouds
disappeared and it was sunlight every
minute.
The evening before Thanksgiving the
bank was opened and the slips read BY
daddy amid screams Of laughter and mer-
ry jokes.
Suddenly Sergt Thompson stopped
laughing and said in surprise:
What is this?''
'-Oh! that's the comrades thankful slip

then Mag gasped in surprise, for out of
the slip dropped two crisp SIS bills.

The "sway-back" victim must indulge
in the following exercises every morn

fill out the muscles Of the back It is a
hard exercise to master quickly because
our canary -bird-breathing plans do not
embrace the back parts of the lungs. We
breathe only in the upper story of our

back above the waist, spreading the fin
gers out and downward; then distend the
muscles Of the back, making the greatest
effort about 3 inches above the waist
line. The woman who is afflicted with a
prominent abdomen should go through
this exercise twenty or thirty times ev-
cry morning, beginning with ten times
only and increasing each week If it is
not possible to distend the muscles much,
bend the body forward, rounding the
shoulders until you get the idea. The
muscles will gradually strengthen them
