The Editors Burden.

/. Here is a heart-to-heart talk which a
country editor, who evidently has troubles
of his own, recently gave to his delin-
quent subscribers: "Good morning. Have
you paid your subscription for last year?
Perhaps you owe for last year, or several
years. Now, you understand, we need
money; we have millions-to get, but it is
really an imposition to let the good peo-
pie 60 on carrying our money when we
are strong and healthy; and so abundant
" able to bear the burden ourselves. For
this reason we ask anybody who has any
of our money in his possession to leave it
at the Office or send it by post, freight
train, express or any other way, just so it
gets here. Silver and gold are heavy, and
it would be matter of lifelong regret if
anybody should get bow.legged carrying
it about for u.s.

It looks like no one is going to oppose
Hayward for governor this year. OF

Other counties are arranging for farm
ers' institutes this summer and we do not
see any reason why Bamberg should not
have one. All that is necessary is to send
petition signed by fifteen farmers to DR..
Nell, president of Clemson College, and
the institute will be held. If some one will
get up the petition there will be no
trouble in getting fifteen farmers to sign
it.

Some of the politicians are trying to
gold brick Joe Folk, of St. Louis, by in
ducing him to accept the nomination fer
vice president on the Democratic ticket.
But we hardly think they'll succeed.
Folk has cinch on the governorship OF
Missouri, and he's hardly foolish enough
to turn loose a certainty like that for
the empty honor of being the vice presi-
Dental nominee.

So they hesitated.

entombed foreman from within 'It's
your only chance. Knock 1t out"
And then, as Tor the first time bis

ergy they assaulted the thick glass
with board and burst it through. All
rushed out, and at the same time the
door gave way before a heavy push
from the other side. This was by the
strength of two workmen who, having
seen a shed near the waters edge out
side cave in, had gone down to see
what the trouble might be.
Just below they saw the water rapid
" rising, and in few moments It
filed to the brina the chambers which
they had left. Far within were the
foreman and his twenty unfortunate
men buried by the slush and ooze
which he had faced so bravely alone
that others might be saved.

At 4:3O in the morning some Of the
men prepared to 90 up for lunch. At
that time the danger point must have
remained unguarded for an interval
Suddenly there was sound like the
blowing off of steam. Woodland
sprang to the spot, crying:
Back, men, and stop the Leak!
But where a moment before there
had been a hole that might have been
stopped with a pinch Of clay there
was now rapidly widening gap. Un-
der it stood Woodland The foul bot
tom of the river was pouring in upon
him. Ooze and slime were binding
him. He felt the water rising about
his feet.
One step would have taken him
safely into the air lock. Of all the
men he was nearest safety. He did not
move toward it. Standing there by
the entrance, be shouted:
"Quick, boys! Get into the lock-!
But he did not lead the retreat As
each man came along he pushed, pulled
and showed him through the binding
ooze and water into the air lock.
Seven men had passed hin. AS he

the doorway and pinned the door

air lock grasped the PROSTATE man

sible to open the door, and the mans
body made It impossible to close 1t by
a few inches.

gan pouring from the tunnel into the
air lock. Escape had been cut OF for
Woodland and twenty men.
The men in the air lock, although
partially on the road to safety, were

lock from the tunnel made It impossi'

The men in the air lock stripped

their clothing into the crack. The wa

of danger existed apparently, and that

OtheE OiuDs VIII GAdNe ScCOhO Meet
ings in Near Future.
A meeting of the First District Ad-
ministration Club has been called for
Wednesday night, at the hall of the
Salvation Army on West Broad street.
This will be the first meeting of the
campaign held in the First, and a large
attendance is expected.
The First will follow in line with the
Fourth and South Side in demanding
improvements for the section repre-
scented. The paving of West Broad
street to Bay street and the improve
ment of the squares in the district
will be asked.
During the last municipal race there
were some lively meetings held in this
district and interest will again be
aroused, it is thought. There has been
some talk of reorganizing the club in
the Second district, but as there is
no opposition it is not thought this
will be- done.
The South Side will hold meetings
every Friday night from now until the
Mayors election in January, and the
Fourth will also meet at regular in
tervals. Considering the fact that
there Is no opposition to the present
administration, a great deal more in
terest than is usual has already been
shown in the campaign.

Greek Shot the Negro.
Because Of a dispute over lemon
pie there was a serious cutting and
shooting ARRAY on Bryan street, west,
at a late hour last night. and two
men are seriously wounded. one stab
bed in the back and the other shot in
the thigh.
Vents Bryant, negro, cut Nick Pa
nos, a Greek. in the back and Peter
Gesson, a cousin of the Greek. shot
the negro in the thigh with load of
bird shot. The shot was at close range,
and the Negroes thigh is badly torn.
Panos was cut about two inches deep,
but will recover.
Bryant, the negro, went into the
store, at No. 6O2 Bryan street. west,
and asked for lemon pie. Panos
waited on him and gave him a pie
that the negro contended was not
lemon. There was a dispute, and the
negro, after cursing the Greek, attack
ed him with a knife and cut him in
the back. Bryant then attempted to
escape, but Gesson grabbed a shotgun
and fired just as he was going through
the door.
The police ambulance was called and
detectives hurried to the scene. Bryant
was carried to his home. No. $50 Pine
street, and Gesson was placed under
arrest and carried to the police station.
Panos received medical attention at the
store. Both of the wounded men will
recover, it is thought.

JUNG LING ANXIOUS
FOR CHINKLAND HOME.
VIII Be Started on His Journey Next
Saturday Night.

Jung Ling, the almond-eyed who has
been domiciled for the last six weeks
in the Chatham county Jail awaiting
deportation, is anxious to get back to
the land whence he came.
He has developed a great longing for
the land OF mandarin, the pipe-hitters.
the Empress Dowager, and he is wild
to see book wherein you read up and
down instead of across the pages. So
great is his longing that he has asked
his attorneys, Messrs. Abrahams &
Rourke, to hurry things up, and they
have.
Judge Speer has written several let
ters in the case and at last the gov
eminent is ready to pay the freight
on the Washee- washee. Besides Jung,
who longs so ardently for Chefoo and
Shanghai, there will be a slant-eyed
comrade from Macon and two from Au-
gusta in the deportation party. The
Celestials will be sent to Norfolk. Va,
and thence shipped to China. Uncle
Sam will pay the freight.
Jung and the others now regret they
slipped into this country, for they
missed much excitement in the Far
East. Instead of doing rapid-change
stunts in the matter of names and in
the trading of chat-chis-the Chink
way of saying certificate-they could
have been aiding either the Japanese
or the Russians, incidently themselves
in the free-for-all life of a Chinese
bandit. Then they will all have beau
tiful names that take up an entire
page of print, and the heavy iron and
the cleaning shirt front will be for
gotten in the delights of fan-tan and
the dreams that come from the pipe.

The First Question People Ask

nc EAEaN 4uGstlOn FeOOAc AK
When a man dies, is. how much life
insurance did he have? This question
is the natural interest that is mani
tested in the welfare Of the bereaved
family. Would it not be well for you
to ask yourself this question: Have
you enough life insurance? If not, is
it not your duty to attend to the
matter without further delay? Thou
sands of men accounted good finan-
ciers are kept afloat by their ability
and energy-that is, the stream of
money coming in is kept equal to that
going out. While the man lives this is
well; but at his death the power that
drives the machinery is stopped, the
supply is cut off and all demands are
presented for payment-often for pro-
test-and the wife and children must
take what is left. A policy of life in
surance in the Massachusetts Mutual
takes care of them as no other provi-
sion can. With such policy man is
absolutely certain that at his death
his family is provided for, and in the
event of ingency-inability to
longer continue-his every equity is
secured to him under the benefcent
laws of the commonwealth of Massa-
chusetts These policies guarantee to
every policy-holder of a Massachusetts
company either cash settlement or
a paid-up insurance, in addition to
which the law secures him his divi-
dends each year. It is to your interest
to examine into the plans of the Mas
sachusetts Mutual before entering in
to a contract for life insurance. 1t is
the leading Massachusetts company
and pays good dividends to policy
holders 1t will cost you nothing for
information, a specimen policy and an
extract of the insurance laws of Mas
sachusetts will be sent you on appli-
cation. Address Harty & Apple, man
