The Graded School Building.

The question of erecting a graded
school building in the town of Bamberg
is now being agitated, and the citizens
are called on to decide this most impor-
tant matter by ballot next Friday. Upon
this decision hangs the future of Bam-
berg, and it will determine largely what
that future shall be, both as to growth OF
the town and character of its citizens.
We cannot, in deciding a question of SO
much importance, ignore and act ln-
dependently of the best thought and
Judgment of educators and men honored
as leaders in the upbuilding of character
and the future citizenship Of our great
commonwealth. They unanimously agree,
after careful study, that no question is
ahead in importance of the question OF
education. They also agree, and reason
able is it, that the education of the present
generation, necessary to prepare them
for the future responsibility of citizen
ship, can't be given without better build
ings, equipped with modern appliances.
These leading minds are not expressing
themselves for selfish ends, but, as un-
selfish philanthropists and leaders, are
working for the public veal. They voice
the sentiment and judgment of men of
leading business ideas and ability in the
various lines of business enterprise. To
produce the large results to-day in the
business world it is necessary to have the
modern equipment. To have this, money,
more money, must and is being freely in
vested. Now, why is more money being
invested to-day in business enterprises
than in the days of our fathers? Because
it is the judgment of business men that
these enterprises must be better equipped
and the wisdom of larger investment IN
better equipment is justified by the in
creased and improved results. So in our
school work: better equipment means
greater and improved results. This is a
proven fact, and we believe the people OF
Bamberg agree upon the necessity OF a
better building for our graded school
work. The greatest difference is in the
amount to be invested. Now, if results
in the business world are in proportion
to investment, and the same principle is
true in the educational work, we should
not be at loss to see our duty nor hesitate
to meet it. We should consider: first, the
need; then make cheerfully any and every
sacrifice to supply that need. Our faith
in the people of Bamberg is, that they
will do this, and soon handsome graded
school building will be erected that will
be an honor to the people of the town
and a blessing to the future of our citizen
ship. Manhood and womanhood of the
highest type, not money, is the deep
desire of every intelligent parent heart,
and money spent to this end is always
wisely spent.

Farrell's Cross Roads Dots

We are glad to say that our little town
is on boom.
Sunday school was held at Edisto last
Sunday as usual.
The weather is very cold for the time
of year, and l heard some farmers say
that if they had cotton~aud-c corn seed in
the house instead of in the field, they
would wait until spring to plant.
Mr. j. Marion Stokes and wife visited
relatives and friends near Midway Sun
day.
Mr.. William Summers gave pindar
popping to the young folks last Friday
night.
MIR. Ed Steedly, of Hartzog, was in

1t is inexplicable to US how any'business
man can oppose the erection of new
graded school building, viewing the ques-
ton from purely business standpoint. 1t
will increase the volume of business done
here, and make for the general prosperity
of the community. Some say $4,000 is
too much money to put into school
building, but this amount has not been
thought extravagant by other county seat
towns in the State

Due Notice is Served.

Due notice is hereby served on the pub
lie generally that DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve is the only salve on the market that
is made from the pure, unadulterated
witch hazel. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve
has cured thousands of cases of piles that
would not yield to any other treatment,
and this fact has brought out many worth
less counterfeits. Those persons who get
the genuine DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve
are never disappointed, because it cures.

If the proposition to erect new school
building is defeated, it will simply mean
that Bamberg will have no graded school,
for it is simply money thrown away to try
to conduct a school in the present build
ing with the necessarily limited number
of teachers. We might as well abandon
it and quit. We have been holding on in
the old house, hoping for better things,
but if we are not to have new building,
the writer for one heartily favors voting
off the present levy of II mills and dis
continuing the school.

THUNDER MOUNTAIN.

Reports from the New Thunder Mountain
Gold Fields grow steadily better. There will
undoubtedly be great rush into the district
this year. Last year the news concerning
the new discoveries Of free-milling ore had
only begun to leak out and before October
more than 2O, 900 claims were filed.
From every quarter there will be people
going to Thunder Mountain, and all will
want reliable information as to the best route
and how soon the trail will be open. Many
who cannot 20 will want to invest in good
property there, and the time to do that is now
when money is needed for mine equipment.
The Thunder Mountain Gold Mining and
Milling Company has a splendid property Of
12O acres, across which there is tremendous
vein of free-milling ore 80 feet wide and run
ming right into Rainbow Peak. Mr.. Charles
j. Perkins, General Manager Of the Company,
spent all last summer in the district. He Is
now at the Company's eastern offices in New
York, where he will remain until some time
in May purchasing equipment and describing
the property to all who wish to buy shares.
He also possesses full information regarding
| the district and makes it a point to answer
all questions about it, without charge, 80 that
all who are interested may write and get this
| information free and at first hand.
The Company which Mr.. Perkins repre-
| sents made its first public offering Of stock in
January, and 80 many subscriptions have been
received that great deal Of the equipment
for the mine has been purchased and prepared
| for shipment as soon as the way Is opened for
travel
It is estimated that fully three millions Of
dollars of machinery and equipment Is now
on the way to Thunder Mountain for various
companies. One Of the companies sold stock
| a year ago at so cents share and now it is
not to be bought for $500 per share. Thirty
other mines are opened and are getting into
richer ore every day.
The property which this Company owns is
second to none in the district, and the more
one learns about it and its officers the greater
the desire becomes to own some Of its stock.

of trouble. When the stomach fails to per-
form its functions the bowels become de-

causing numerous diseases, the most fatal

is to restore the stomach and liver to a

In reference to the remarks OF the Co.
lumbia State, if the Seaboard Air Line can
show that to require it to run its trains into

expensive and an injustice" surely this
ought to settle the question, and We feel
safe in saying that if such showing is
made to the railroad commission, that
body will not insist on forcing such a
state of affairs. As we understand 1t,
