Toubs of the Ancient Prophets

Tom D9 Oh the IAhSACnA =
There exist in parts Of Islam many
tombs of the prophet Daniel. or these
one Of the most celebrated is at Cairo.
This fact need not astonish us. The
Mussulmans admit without hesitation
the duplication or even indefinite null
tiplication Of the bodies of holy per-
sons without their veneration for each
of the remains being diminished in the
least. 1t is worth noting that the ma
ture Of the honorary qualifications ac-
corded to the same saint varies In diff
ferent countries. Thus, for example,
Daniel has at Cairo the name Of Neb-
BIZ i-Daniel-that Is, they give him the
title Of prophet, as being at the same
time that which suits him best and Is
the most honorable they can confer. In
Algeria or Morocco-feudal countries
the title they give to saints IS sidi.
which signifies lord, which is also the
title there Of military and political
chiefs. In central Asia they give to
those caponized persons whom they re-
spect most, as to the prophet Daniel
the title Of khodja, which means IN
Arabic writer or lettered.

A Good Policy.

The Dry Goods Economist says OF
one store with which it is familiar:
Every employee in it seems to be
good natured. Why should there be
any difference in this respect between
this establishment and the average
store? Is not human nature about
the same the world over? True, but
there is difference. The proprietor
Of this store is not only merchant,
but a gentleman. He treats his en-
ployees with marked courtesy and con-
alteration. As q consequence they
feel 80 kindly disposed toward him and
his business that their good will is re-
nected in their treatment Of his GUS
toners" Some storekeepers never find
out why it is that SO few OF their
casual customers become regulars.

Cutting Scrape in Hampton.

HAMPTON, March 3.-There was cntt-
ing scrape on Main street last Saturday
night about 12 o'clock. A young man
named Brook Johnston, who served as
deputy marshal Saturday seems to have
given offense to another man named
Preston Lightsey under the circus tent OF
the Miles Orton shows. After JohRstap
went off duty for the day, Lightsey and
some of his friends attacked him and the
knife was freely used The result is that
Johnston has cash on one jaw that went
to the teeth, and on the other side gash
in the throat that came dangerously near
the jugular vein. Lightsey has stab in
the upper portion of his right thigh. The
knife was stuck from in front and went
downward. IT looks to be the work OF
child or small man. Lightsey is at large.

How Much DO We Owe?

EDITOR THE BAMBERG HERALD:-Fre-

wish to know the total Indebtedness Of
the county, also that Of the town and
school district No. II. The town debt

am not sufficiently posted to give the
information, hence would be glad for
YOU to do it, as l presume that you are
authority on the subject. In your last
issue you say that the county debt is still
increasing. This remark is rather alarm
ing, and people wish to be enlightened to
that extent that they may know "where
we are at" T. J. COUNTS.
Bamberg, S. c., February %, 1903.
while the editor of this newspaper is
not as we'll posted on the financial condi-
ton of the city and county as he might
be, and is by no means authority on the
subject, We will endeavor to answer the
queries of Col. Counts and in the order
in which they are asked. First, as tothe
total indebtedness of the county. These
figures cannot be given exactly. Treas
urer Folk is out of town at present, there
fore we cannot get the exact amount, but
our best information is that the county
owes between eight and nine thousand
dollars. The only Indebtedness of the
town is for the court house and jail This
is in the shape of bonded debt, and was
originally fifteen thousand dollars. AS
one bond has been paid each year ever
since the bonds were issued, this debt is
now something like $4,000, and the debt
is being paid as fast as it falls due. In
reference to Bamberg school district No.
ii, it does not owe anything. There is a
debt of 5000 for the present graded school
house, secured by amortgage of the build
ing and lot. All the old back indebted
ness, which was piled up on the district
several years ago, has been paid off in the
past two years. Now, as to the expenses OF
the county. COL Counts makes mistake
in saying we stated that the county debt
was increasing. We said that the running
expenses of the county were increasing
each year, but upon investigation it looks
as if the debt was getting larger as well.
However that may be, we meant that 1t
was costing more each year to run the
county, and it is. Salaries are being con-
tinually increased. The salaries of the
county now amount to 81 600 year more
than they did in 1898, just after the county
was formed. If salaries had been kept at
the original figures We would have saved
enough to about pay the present indebt-
edness of the county. The expenses have
been increasing every year since the
county was organized, and the tax levy
was not raised to meet these additional
expenditures. AS the first expenses of
the county were figured on three mills
basis, and yet they were increased every
year, is it any wonder that we got in debt?
The tax levy was not increased until last
wear. We give below the salaries for
1898 and 1908, in order that the taxpay-

Tillman Was RuMed.

An interesting story comes from Wash
ington concerning Senator Tillman.
The senator, according to the story,
was walking down Pennsylvania avenue
the other day in 2 drenching rain, having
been caught without an umbrella or over
coat.
AS he passed a certain residence cab
driver, protected by a macintosh and
storm curtains, drove up to the pavement.
"Hi, there, Cap" called out the driver
to the senator step up there and ring
that bell for me- don't want to get out

Two little years ago she danced
AS lightly as fairy;
To float with her around the hall
Was sweetest bliss; her movements all
Were full of grace and airy.
She dances still, but not with me.
Love crowned another's wooing;
Oh, it is beautiful to see
Her dance her baby on her knee
And hear her sweetly cooling.

The Presbyterian minister in Syracuse,
New York, who gave up the pastorate OF
church paying a yearly salary OF $1,000
to accept poor church at salary OF
$500 year, is rare specimen OF humani-
ty. He goes to the weak church IN the
hope of building it up. Would that there
were more like him.

A close friend of President Roosevelt
says that while Teddy is an avowed can
didate for the nomination for president,
he does not want the votes of negroes IN
the South, as they represent only the
skeleton of q party and have no voting

statement is hardly in keeping with the
presidents recent actions in regard to
Southern appointments.

The State has appropriated $2o,ooo 1or
the erection of statue to the memory OF
Gen. Wade Hampton. AS this approprl-
alton depends upon the raising Of $4,000
more by popular subscription, we are
afraid the monument will never be built
The money could be raised by earnest
persistent effort, but this does not appear
to be forthcoming, and there seems to be
. no organization at work soliciting the
popular subscriptions.

Senator Tillman is receiving many
complimentary notices from the news
papers on his recent speech in the Senate,
in which he referred to the race question
in the South. 1t was strong, calm and
dispassionate address, full of facts and
strong argument, and will do much good.
Our people here are highly pleased over
the speech, and rejoice that the Senator
has dropped his fierce and fiery style OF
addressing the Senate.

We see it stated that Senator Jno. l..
McLaurin has been interviewed by a
New York paper, and in discussing the
negro question in the South he is quoted
as saving that he is willing to concede
political rights to the negro, but never
social equality. 1t is also rumored that
the Senator will practice law in New
York after his term in the Senate expires.
If he is correctly quoted on the negro
question, we would advise him to stay IN
the North or rather not return to South
Carolina to live.

way is simply thrown away for people

human life is as cheap as it is now IN
South Carolina. Instead of advertising
our resources, rather let US exert ourselves
to make the State a-safe place to live IN,

property to new settlers. If we can give
South Carolina the reputation abroad OF
a peaceful and law-abiding State, where
. crime is punished, no matter who IS the
offender, then we will have done more to
attract a desirable class OF population
than all this advertising of our resources
at Expositions could possibly do.

That can do justice to the hen
Like royalty she goes her way,
Laying foundations every day,
Though not for public buildings, yet
For custard, cake and omelette.

They have their fling at some abuse,
AS when to censure plays unfit
Upon the stage they make hit;
Or at elections seal the fate
Of an obnoxious candidate,

Whose egg is mighter than the pen.

What is it Coming To?

Day by day we are met with the news,
lbut it is getting so common that 1t IS
scarcely news any more), that some
human life has been taken, not by some
wild beast rendering the body to pieces,
no, it were better if it was some ignorant
beast, and not by an intelligent human
being. That human life is becoming cheap
in our State is a most deplorable fact.
Perhaps one of the saddest and most
striking things which has occurred in our
State for some time happened in Spar
tanburg county last week. A school
teacher in some way, whether wiifully
or not we may not say, shot and fatally
wounded q pupil of his school. This is
indeed enough to set US to thinking.
What does it mean9 Is it that our school
rooms are not to be spared the sight of
witnessing deeds which disgrace even the
basest saloons? Must they too have some
ones life blood poured out on their floor?
Can it be that conditions have reached
the point when our school teachers must
arm themselves with deadly weapons
when they would, even justly, administer
punishment? Surely our pupils and stu
dents have not become so entirely cor
corrupt and unruly that the schoolmaster
mast take great precautions lest he be
mobbed, yet it seems that to certain de-
gree it is true.
On the other hand, is it that the boys
and girls of our schools are in danger of
losing life if they resent being punished
when they do not deserve it? Have our
teachers come to the point where they
will debase themselves by carrying weap-
> ons of deadly defense to be used in case
pupil objects to being punished, whether
he deserve it or not? We mention this
in hope that it may cause some few at
least to think. May the time bevery rear
when not only our schools but every phase
of life in the old Palmetto State shall be
free from this greatest of evils-murder.
