Victory for the Standpipe.

When our deep well was first finished the
water was analysed and pronounced healthy.
Time has proved the correctness Of that
analysis, and the wisdom OF using the stand.
pipe water Is no longer doubt.
This Summer some four or hve households
have been afflicted With typhoid fey er. In no
instance has any of the families who use
the standpipe water suffered. This. we think.
is all that could be said for the standpipe
water.
Mayor Mcmillan informs rs that Doctor
Orr OF Anderson has kept record Of the
fever cases in that city. and he says that in
no instance where families have used stand
pipe water exclusively has q case of fever
occurred.
The council Of Abbeville is digging ad-
ditional wells, and report that the sup.
ply Of water has increased from Us gallons to
80 gallons minute. A still further increase
10 expected.
The increase OF our supply Of pure water Is
OF the last importance to our people and
ought TO be more welcome news than any
thing else which this newspaper could
publish.
It may cost q great deal less to connect
with water mains than to nurse sick men,
bers OF the family. The charge for water is
less than the expense OF keeping up well
buckets and ropes.
The additional supply OF water is q real
cause OF oongratulation.
The council has done many good things, but
nothing could be better than giving US q
supply Of good water.

Editor in C0nrt.

Editor ]. W. Shelor, Of the Keowee Courier,
was among the attorneys in Court last week.
and during his stay In town he made call
at the Press and Banner Office. where he was
gladly welcomed. The Keowee Courier is
one OF the best newspapers in the State, but
we told him that we had been thinking Of
calling on the Courier and the Bsmberg
Herald to account for the frequent absence of
editorials in these papers. The Bamberg
Herald and the Keowee Courier are first class
when they have editorials. And editors who
can furnish az good editorials as these pap
ers often contain, should be called 10 the bar
omissions.

NEVER FORGOT HIS MANNERS.
Two Good Stories Told of Major-Gen-
eral PIumer.

Two Good Stories Told of Major-Gen-
eral PIumer.
In the Matabeleland campaign of
1S96-97 Colonel, now Major-General,
Plumer, raised and led battalion of
turn to Bulawayo in the evening as
clean and spruce as though he had
just come in from a stroll down Bond
street. AS an example of his unvary-
ing drawing room manners" as a
brother officer once styled them, a
story is told of him that during the
Matabele campaign his small force
found itself in very hot corner, and
men were falling rapidly in all direc-
tions. Plumer had two machine guns
with him, and these, he considered,
were not doing as well as they might
be. He called up an orderly, there
fore, and said to him: will you kind
ly go to Captain Blank (who COM
manded the guns) and tell him that I
think he might do better if he would
please move his guns a little further
to the right. Thank YOU And then
he calmly went on with his direction
of the fight in the same quiet, easy
manner. Again, he was rather badly
hit while in command of column
during the recent South African war,
and sent a message to his second in
command to the effect that he was
rather badly scratched, and he would
be greatly obliged if Colonel Blank
would take over the command of the
force pending further orders Men

blue eyes as he slipped on into that
floating land of partial unconscious
ness. Me wants Daddy Dimmie to
come home" said baby in agonized en-
treaty while poor jimmy could only
look at Jimmie with that awful dread
in her young face that had gone into
it when she first saw him laying
white and still on his little bed.
Come and kiss your little brother
goodbye" said the nurse as she softly
led them to the bedside. Out from
the hospital went jimmy with her
young heart SO bruised and sore, and
her young eyes so dim with tears that
she could scarce see her way as she
walked homeward leading the baby
Night and it's solemn quiet brooded
over the great hospital Dr. Peyton
and Nurse Jennings sat by the little
bed in number thirteen" Suddenly
the eyes of the child opened and from
their questioning depths he gazed up
into the faces of the doctor and nurse.
where's jimmy and the baby? I got
a quarter hid away in my shoe to buy
the baby some new red shoes for Sun
day-did you put it away" he said
appealingly- The nurses eyes were
moist but she said soothingly-"Yes,
Jimmie, your money is all safe. I'll
take care of it" A smile of content
curved the child's lips and he closed
his eyes-dozing fitfully as the night
wore on. At midnight the change
came. The child babbled of mother"
and heaven" and Jimmy and the
baby" jimmy" he called softly,
where is you? 1 can't see you!
Mothers here, and she's calling US to
go to her. There's music like they
have at church. and tall lilies like we
saw at Easter. \ can most smell the
lilies. Amt the music just grand,
jimmy? Oh, where's the baby, jimmy
Have you got her red shoes? I most
forgot them. Nuthin11 hurt you, baby,
IN here. Don't you love Dimmie,
baby? Harki the music's playing
oh, there's some children singing way
up Their in the sky-look, jimmy
they're comm to go to church and
hear the music-and smell the lilies.
How close they are, jimmy! Where
are you? Baby take hold of Daddy
Dimmie's hand. They can't hurt you,

A STUDY OF SHE.
Philosophers MoraIizing on the "Eter

The more we study She the more

She is able to twist us around her
little finger whenever She feels like

For whom is it that in childhoods
happy days we fight with a boy three
so severely punished that we can't sit
up for a week? Why, for She-and
She only laughs at us for our pains.
Who is it that devours all our spare
change in the shape of candies and
them, too? She.
For whom do we 1inger at stage
doors with boquets, to purchase Which
we have to endure a fortnight's mar
tyrdom in lieu of lunch? She.

Who accepts our hard-earned gold
on the pretense of being first-class
cook, and then broils our steak in a
frying-pan and boils our coffee an
hour? She.
Who is it that accepts our theater
tickets, our suppers, our boquets, and
our devotion, and then goes off and

for this we ought to forgive her a
good deal.

Talked with Its Feet.

Parrots? No, there isn't a great
demand for parrots any more,' said
the dealer "a man from Mt. Airy
came in the other day with fine
looking bird which he said was good
talker, and sold it to me cheap. l
know the nature of parrots pretty
well, and when this one failed to show
off its accomplishments 1 attributed
it to the natural stubbornness of the
bird. But day after day went by, and
it never uttered sound. All it would
do was to sit on it's perch and ges-
ticulate with its feet, making all sorts
of fantastic motions with its toes.
About week later the man who sold
it to me came in. l thought you said
that parrot you sold me was good
ta1ker,' 1 said. Tt hasn't shown any
evidence of it. All it does is to sit
and wriggle it's toes That's all
right said the Mt. Airy man, it was
raised in the deaf and dumb asy.
lum.'"

The ambulance dashed up to the
door of ST. Michael's, and DR.. Pey-
ton sprang out. Hurriedly he sum-
lmoned the driver and porter to help
him carry a stretcher up the broad,
stone steps into the corridor. Call
lDr. Johns and Jessep-and hurry-or
this boy will die before we get him
on the table," said the surgeon.
There was hurrying hither and
lthither-then the stretcher was borne
ito the elevator and up to the third
floor into the operating room, while
the child shrieked aloud in his agony
of pain. The door closed. The little
form was laid upon the table. Anaes-
thetics were given until the agonized
little body lay white and still, then
the ,merciful knife was applied to the
crushed and shapeless limbs of the
child. Swiftly and skilfully the sur
geons worked, aided by the deft hands
of the trained nurses. When it was
all over the unconscious boy was laid
upon a white bed in a pretty room
with dainty curtains at the window,
and beautiful pictures on the walls.
Hours passed before the heavy eye
lids of the child were raised. A pair
of wondering blue eyes looked up at
regarded her and then in an awe
struck whisper he said, rs you an
angel? Is this heaven? Where's God
and mother?" Nurse Jennings stroked
the little white face as she answered
tenderly, mo, dearl You are not in
heaven, you are in st. Michaers hos
pital. You were hurt by the cars and
they brought you here to make you
well. Our kind DR.. Peyton saw you
when the car struck you. Just lie
still and do as we tell you, and you
will soon be we'll"
Where's Jinny?' whispered the
child. Did she come, too?"
Who's Jinny?" smf!ingly asked the
nurse.
Jinny's my sister-she's nine and
I'm ten and the baby's three. 1 take
care of them" said the child with a
faint touch of pride in his voice. I'VE

as he said, "She calls me her Daddy
