The negro is sometimes a good deal
mixed" regarding relationships, as the
following incident, related in Lippincott's
illustrates.
A lady had negro cook who must
have been 20 years of age, but who in
spite of her years, was "6ne in the busi-
ness" when it camet to cooking. Another
colored woman OF advanced years was in
the habit of coming to see the cook, and
one day the lady said:
"Dinah, who is that old colored wo-
man sometimes find in the kitchen with
you?"
sDat ole 'ooman, mzssus? Oh, she's jess
a relationship OBJ mine"
What kind of relationship, Dinah ?"

Hampton sounty, last night, J. B. Ben
nett, shot and instantly killed his wife.

frequent visits to her and some of them

A Card from Mr.. Brabham.

AsHEv1LIE, N. c., August 20, 1904.
Editor The Bamberg Herald.-Dear
Sir: have been reliably informed that
COL Jno. F. Folk, now treasurer of the
county and candidate for the same posi-
tion, stated in his campaign speech at
Bamberg that the Bamberg Banking Com
pany, through me, its president, had re-
fused to pay the county interest on its
money and had requested him to say
nothing about the transaction.
Our bank has no savings department,
and therefore does not pay interest on
deposits, but does pay interest, and as
much as any of the Charleston banks,
when the party loaning the bank takes
our note payable at any date the payee
may select within the year. This we
offered to do for the county through Col.
Folk, the treasurer.
Col. Folk and this writer discussed the
matter of his accusation in regard to the
bank nging out Mr.. Riley for treasurer.
for the bank emphatically denied the
accusation, and was under the impression
that my denial was perfectly satisfactory
to Col. Folk, so much SO that on our
separation remarked, "well, we will say
nothing more about it." that is about the
bank bringing out Mr.. Riley.
This is the only conversation have
had in regard to the affair with Col. Folk,
and we deny most emphatically that we
refused to pay the county interest on its
money, only as stated herein.
Both Col. Folk and Mr.. Riley are
patrons and, we presume, friends of our
bank, and I have been, perhaps, as quiet
in regard to their candidacy as any voter
in the county.
To show that we have had no feeling in
the matter, we have loaned the county
money since the funds referred to were
withdrawn, and at the same rate of
interest, namely seven per cent.
What we have written is in the interest
of the Bamberg Banking Company and
not Mr.. Riley or Col. Folk.
Yours truly,
H. J. BRABHAM,
President Bamberg Banking Co.

IN al aye Ou ayes Go1IiuS,
To be living is sublime"
The greatest wealth to man or woman
is not bank account, for that can pass
away. 1t is the cultivation of the brain
with brains man can get wealth and posi-
zion, without he can only expect to hold
an humble position, often times come to
want. The largest waste that comes to
any nation is through ignorance; failure
is want of knowledge, success is knowing
how to do thing, wealth is not carved
out of iron, wood and other metal but it
is the product of the brain. Ignorance
is a mass of useless humanity that God
has packed up and man has failed to un-
fold. Eyes he has, but he cannot see the
length Of his hand; ears he has and all
the finest sounds in creation escape him i;
a tongue he has and it is forever dumb. A
man who has chest of tools and can
only use a hammer and saw, what
chance has he against his neighbor who
can use all the tools with skill? He must
sooner or later fall by the wayside. An
educated mind is one fully awakened to
all the sights and scenes OF force in
this world through which he moves. l
do not mean by this that you can make
a two-thousand MAI out of two-cent
boy by sending him to college. No Moore,
Byron, Webster or Shakespeare ever made
his mark with pen or pencil Education
does not change the heart or character OF
the boy and girl, but it gives them high
er conception of their duty, gives to them
a better view of life and fits them for bet
Ter citizenship. All this is through the
open door of public schools.
