Remember that three members OF
board of public works are to be voted fol
in the election next Tuesday. This is
important, and three good men should be
selected.
~
There seems to be no question but that
the election next Tuesday on the question
of issuing bonds for an electric light plant
will result in favor of the bonds. But
we ought to be doing something towards
the waterworks problem as we'll.
~
Just think of the property destroyed by
fire in Bamberg during the last few years,
most of which would have been saved If
the town had waterworks. How much
longer will our people pursue such
'spenny wise and pound foolish" policy?

Comptroller General A. W. Jones has
issued statement in reply to the criti-
cisms made of his action in the case OF
Treasurer Whetsell, of Dorchester. That
any one should have criticised the comp
troller for his action is very strange. Fact
is. we need more men like Jones in pub
lie Office, for he seems to be a man who
does his duty without fear or favor.

1t is to be regretted of course that a
few persons in Columbia should have
made spectacle of themselves in Colum'
bia last week at the presentation of
Thomas Dixon's play, "The Clansman."
The incident will serve as big advertise
ment for the play, however, and We have
no idea that Mr.. Dixon will bear any
malice against Columbia on account of the
action of a very small part of its popula-
tiOn.

Professor Smythe's Peculiar Hens.

Professor Smythe has grape vineyard
of which he takes great care. Every fall
the boys, whenever they get chance
steal few punches of grapes. One morn.
ing the professor was surprised to find the
vines almost bare. Calling his wife he
said: "Mary, what has become of the
grapes?"
II suppose the hens picked them of, u
was the reply.
"Hens! Hens! Some two-legged hens,' y
said her husband, angrily, to which she
calmly replied:

Every Year.

AsOAy AVoAs
The girls are growing taller
Every year,
And the men are growing smaller
Every year;
They drop their long eyelashes
And wear the sweetest sashes,
And grow scantier mustaches
Every year.
We all are growing older
Every year,
The faintest hearts grow bolder
Every year;
Foot balls fiends grow frantic,
The learned more pedantic,
Girls are less and less romatic
Every year.
The women now are working
Every year,
At the duties men are Sinking
Every year;
The changes we are noting
Are no superficial coating,
For the girls will soon be voting
Every year.
The scenes of life are shifting
Every year;
And We are man-ward drifting
Every year;
But though bicycles upset US,
And bloomer costumes fret us,
There are fewer men beset US
Every year.
Yes! the men are growing shyer
Every year.
But the girls are climbing higher
Every year;
As our hold on man grows slighter
Our burdens all seem lighter,
And the distant future brighter
Every year.

New York. July 27.-The steamer Diament from which $2.000 worth of sumatra tobacco was seized by gov ernment officials at Bayonne, N. J., Is supposed to have been landed. Is not owned by the Standard oil Company and the company is in no way respon- sible for her. This announcement was made today by Philip Ruprecht. New York agent for the steamer. Mir. Ru- precht issued the following statement:
 The morning papers referred to a seizure of tobacco in Bayonne. It Is claimed that the tobacco was landed from the tank steamer Diament last week. but as this steamer sailed from Bayonne on Saturday the statement cannot be confirmed. The Diament Is German steamer owned in Hamburg which was loading oil at the Standard oil Company's works The agent of the steamer Is acting in conjunction with the collector to discover if possi- ble the guilty parties who may be part of the crew of the German steamer. The Standard oil Company has noth- ing to do with the occurrence and is not responsible for the steamer"

More IrreguIarities.

Washington, July 27.-At a hearing in the Department of Agriculture at which Secretary Wilson. Assistant Sec retary Hays. Professor B. T. Galloway. Chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry: George J. Moore of that bureau and two representatives of agricultural papers were present. the two last named made charges that the wife of one of the scientists in the bureau of plant industry owned a block of stock in an eastern concern manufacturing culture for soil inoculation. while the scientist was preparing and revising bulletins regarding the enrichment of farms and portraying the culture as containing virulent forms of bacteria for making poor land rich.
 It was alleged that publications re- vised by the official tended to direct the farmers to a commercial concern sup- plying the material because of the ex- haustion of the supply by the depart ment. At today's hearing the scientist involved in the allegations admitted that his wife owned the stock. that the stock was to come to him in the event that he severed his connection with the department and become the bacteriologist of the concern. but that in the latter part of April he decided to stay with the department and the stock was no longer held in his family. It was also alleged that the culture had been supplied to the department by the concern mentioned in undue quantities. the employe mentioned being charged with shipping IT pounds in single day. himself prepaying expenses. It Is said that today he admitted this and other shipments.
 The charges are under investigation by the department. Assistant Secre- tary Hays is making an investigation into the whole question of the value of culture The persons making the charges announce their intention ot bringing the matter before the Presi- dent and the Department of Justice.
