All About King Solomon.

An Illinois boy was asked to write an
essay on Masonry and this is what he
wrote: King Solomon was man who
lived many years ago, and the people in
the country where he lived thought he was
the whole push. He was an awful wise
man and one day two women came to him,
each holding to the leg Of a baby, nearly
pulling it in two and each claiming it. And
King Solomon wasn't feeling right good
and said: Why couldn't that brat have
been born twins and stop all this bother
And he called for his machete and was
going to Weylerize the poor, innocent
little baby, when the real mother Of the
baby said: Let the old hag have it. If l
cant have the whole baby won't have
any, Then Solomon told her to take the
baby, for he knew it was hers, and to 60
home and wash its face. He told the
other woman to 90 chase herself. King
Solomon built Solomon's Temple and
was the father of all Masons. He had
seven hundred wives and three hundred
lady friends, and that's the reason there
are SO many Masons. Papa says King
Solomon was warm member and think
he was the hot stuff myself. That is all l
know about King Solomon"

On q Collecting Tour.

While living in High Point, Mr.. Bulla
was engaged in doing some collecting for
q Northern firm and in reply to an in
auiry from them, wrote letter that has
been copied all over the United States
and in some English papers and it is
worth all the notice that has been given.
it. Here it is:
High Point, N. c., Aug %, 1877.
John Smith & Co.,
Philadelphia, Pa,
Gentlemen :-Replying to yours OF the
18th inst, have to say that for the pros
pect of having claims placed in my hands
to collect and nothing more, / do not feel
willing to report the standing of the party
mentioned or of any one else. do not
want to be misunderstood as saying that
/ do not want paying business, but do
know that lawyer would starVe as quick
on commissions as he would on corn-cob
soup in January.
Ihave had some experience in collect
ing since the war, or rather IN trying TO
collect. I have offered to compromise
claims by taking old clothes, frozen cab
bage, circus tickets, patent medicine,
whet stones, powder horns, old flour
O8frelS, SOuruS, COOu Shlus, Jdy Ui1oS, o"'S
or almost anything; and yet l have a
number of the old claims on hand un-
settled. If were to depend on collect
ing for living, my bean broth would
get so thin that it would rattle in me like
pot-iquor in poor dog.
don't want to shoot at long range,
but if you are inclined to pay anything
certain for the reports, I'm your man
say ten dollars cash and them I'm in; or
if money is scarce 1 would take shoes,
large numbers, say. los, IFS and 12's to
the amount of ten dollars at wholesale
prices.
It's hard times here; the niggers and
the Democrats have pulled and worried
each other until this whole country smells
like cheese How in the world would
you expect to collect money out OF 8
people who plow speckled bulls on hill
sides? If you were to see nigger plow-
ing his garden with SOW, you would not
wonder why I don't want claims to col
lect in this vicinity.
Your sincere frind,

4 WORD TO FARM TOILERS.
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
The Home Friend of the
Farmer and His Family.

After the labors and tolls of the summer time,
and harvesting of crops in the early autumn,
many of our farmers, their wives, daughters,
and sons, find themselves in condition oi
health demanding careful attention if suffering
is to be avoided later on. Many experience
kidney trouble in some form; with some the
liver is torpid; there is biliousness nausea, and
vomiting, with loss of appetite and depression
of spirits. Thousands who have been exposed
to cold, damp winds and rains while toiling ir
the harvest fields, now feel the twinges oi
terrible rheumatism; others run down BY
worry, overwork, and irregular dieting, art
tomented with the pangs of dyspepsia.
To the thousands of run down, sickly, anG
half dead men and women in farm homes We
recommend with all honesty and confidence
the workers friend, Paine's Celery Compound
the only medicine that can quickly and fully
restore strength to the weak body and vigor H
the muscles. Paine's Celery Compound tone
the stomach; it removes poisonous acids from
the blood which cause rheumatism; it feed
the weak and diseased nerves and banishe
neuralgia tortures; it puri6es the blood ant
gives true vitality and life. The use of Paine:
Celery Compound in autumn means the estab
fishing of a perfect physical vigor to withstand
the ngors of severe winter.

Marriage Notices in Old New York.

In searching the files Of some old
papers recently the writer came across
some very unique marriage notices which
are well worth preserving. 1t was custo-
mary for the editor to make some personal
allusion to the wedding, not in the news
columns, but Immediately following the
announcement. Sometimes friends would
attach gags and queer doggerel, very un-
complimentary to the newly welded pair,
and some of the editorial comments were
enough to place him in peril had it not
been that the bridegroom rarely saw the
notice until long after the honeymoon
had waned.
In "The New York Weekly Museum"
for June 1, 1914, appeared the following:
"On Saturday, May IA, at Charlton,
Luther Marble to Miss Sophia Stone.
To which the editor appended the
words:
"a very cold hard match"
On March II. 1915, this notice appeared
in "The Museum under the heading
"Nuptial:"
In Charleston, S. c., January s1.-Mr.
Stephen Lyon, of New York, to Miss
Rebecca Lamb.
4" THE happy time at lengths arrived
In Scripture days foretold,
When Lamb and Lyon doth unite,
Embrace and keep one fold

read thus:
cat Blooming Grove-Mr. John Reeder,
of this city, to Miss Elizabeth Topkins,
of the former place:
"'One volume of the Rights of Man
From maiden errors freed her,
She saw the title, liked the plan
And soon became Reeder.'"
In "The New Haven Athenaeum" OF
August 6, 1914, there appeared notice
which naturally attracted attention be-
cause of the strange appropriateness OF
the names of ali parties concerned. The
editor, evidently wag, appended few
words, the whole reading as follows:
Married at Peterville, August l, by
Rev. DR.. Cannon. Mr.. G. Powder, to
the amiable and accomplished. Miss
Sparks.
"(Ed.-We are apprehelsive that
Sparks, among such combustibles as these,

In another issue the writer found the
following nuptial notice:
"On June "a, at Hampstead, the Rev.
William Heart. to Miss Lydia Moore, of
this city.
"'Whoever heard the like before,
She's got two hearts
And he's got Moore"
A witty and punning notice from over
the water announced the marriage in
Great Malvern, of Mr.. Mott, the pickle
maker, to Miss Burnett, in these words:
Burn it." cried Mott, lit makes me smile,
As well as feverish and hot,

Human life is certainly cheap in Bam-

shoot down another and get off with ten
years in the penitentiary. One need not
be surprised hereafter if good people take
the law into their own hands and mete
out speedy punishment to evil doers.
Lynch law may confidently be expected
when judges and juries are too lenient.

If our people want Bamberg tc grow
and prosper, they should take some inter-
est in municipal affairs. Town officers
are only the servants of the people, and
they are generally willing to carry out
the wishes of the tax payers provided
they know what is wanted. Attend the

what is expected of them.

We are sorry to say that the verdict
and sentence of Joe Davis for the killing
of Policeman J. B. King does not meet
with the approval of the general public.
Most people who have expressed them
selves say Davis was guilty of murder
and should have been hanged. Failing
in this, the judge should have given him
the full limit of thirty years Sad to say,
our yeople are losing confidence in the
ability or disposition of the courts to
punish for the crime of murder, and this
no doubt has much to do with the great
number of killings.
