GIRLS QUICK WIT

How Miss F1oeence BSdwell saved
eao,oOo to C3nson's TreasuTy.
The failure Of the Canton CO., State
bank Developed a heroine IN the tim
little person Of Miss Florence B:dwell
daughter. OF City Treasurer Bidwell,
says q special dispatch from Canton,
o. to the Washington Post Miss BID
well saved the city Of Canton $4,000.
The State bank was a city depository
and bad 100000 On deposit there the
day It suspended. The bank opened IT'S
doors as usual the other morning But
they were open only twenty minutes.
This was enough for Miss Bidwell.
When she reached the city reasurer's
ofnce, where she had been In charge In
the absence OF her father, who Is III IN
a hospital in Cleveland, Assistant City
Treasurer Coyle, who was also en-
pIoyed at the bank, gave her dp over
the telephone ON what was going to
happen.
Miss Bidwell Is only eighteen, but
she showed quickness Of thought and
mature judgment enough for a person
twice her age. Quickly putting on her
hat, she slipped over to the bank and
asked Coyle how much cash the city
could have. About all the cash in the
bank was a bag containing $4,000 in
gold. The proper check was made out,
Coyle took the gold from the vault and
at the girls request helped her with It
back to the city reasurers Office. By
the time Coyle reached the bank again
it had been decided to suspend, and the
doors were closed.

The State Press Association.

Little can be said in reference to the
annual meeting Of the newspaper men OF
the State at White Stone Springs last
week, on account of lack of time and
space. More may be said later if occasion
permits. The meeting was no doubt the
most largely attended ever held, and the
papers read on different subjects were of
3 high order of merit. There was only
one objection to the subjects assigned the
speakers: We think the mechanical and
practical side of the business should have
been discussed more, for that is the real
secret of success in the country news
paper business. Show me well printed
paper with neat ads. and good outfit
and III show you paper which is doing
well and is good sheet from news and
editorial standpoint.
The Association has today the largest
membership in its history, and number
of new members came in at this meeting.
It was very pleasant occasion indeed.
The newspaper men bring their wives
and families, and the meeting is like the
assembling of one large family. Every
editor in South Carolina owes it to him
self to attend these meetings.
The new managers of the hotel have
made many Improvements. The floors
have been covered, much painting done,
a new water tank erected, and new ma
chinery and fixtures placed in several de-
partments. The manager, Mr.. Samuel
Sheftall, invited the editors to meet there
next year, and they agreed to do so.

Does Family COunt2

81 go great deal on family" remarked
the Ward McAllister of the community.
II tell you there's lots in blood! family
counts"
All! does it?
Abraham Lincoln's father was so poor
that the negroes called him po' white
trash, and Abe himself was born in
log hut with cracks in the wall so wide
that you could throw dogthroughthem,
and his mothers name was Nancy Hanks.
The father of John Adams ran corner
grocery, John Quincy Adams, however,
had "family" back of him, for his father,
John, had been President of the United
States.
James z. Polk grubbed roots out of a
new farm in North Carolina until he
got too strong to work for his father,
then he managed to secure job in a
country store.
Andrew johnson married "family"
for his wife knew enough to teach him
how to read.
John Keats was the son of a hostler
and was born in livery stable,
Rare Ben johnson laid brick while he
was learning Latin.
Charles j. Bonaparte is a family"
man, but Napoleon Bonaparte once re-
marked: II am my own ancestors"
Did you ever happen to hear who was
the father of Homer, or of Shakespeare,
or of Gladstone, or of Socrates, or of
Walt Whitman?

It Was Up to Him.

A very bashful DeLand fellow recently
called upon a rather vivacious young wo'
man in Lake Helena, who had in the room
q sweet little cherub-the baby girl be-
longing to a neighbor. The young man
was in dilemma over the many charms
before him, says the DeLand News, and
finally asked if he might be permitted tc
kiss the baby. The young woman rather
pertly replied: "Oh, we'll, I suppose you
can, if you are too cowardly to tackle 8
person nearer your own e."-Florids

THE PASSER-BY
Mr.. K. ShiOi in Bamberg.

Mr.. h. Sh1O1 In BamDerg.
Mr.. Shioi, the young man from Japan
who lectured in the opera house Thurs
day evening, was here again Sunday and
spoke in the Baptist church.
In the afternoon it was my pleasure to
have very pleasant stroll with this jap
anese-Ame1ican student. For eight years
he has studied our language and customs
until he has acquired fluent use OF
English and has made some study of our
literature. BE, when questioned concern
ing japanese literature, stated that the
languages of the Chinese and japanese
are becoming united, which will enable
them to produce lasting coterie OF liter
ary spirits. He, himself, has Translated
cCauley's famous poem OF seventy
stanzas, Horatious; he finds Coleridge es-
pecially to his taste, which is quite natural
when one remembers the eminent kinshlp
in spirit of "The Rhine of the Ancient
Mariner" to the weird japanese nature.
The conversation was extremely inter
esting to me, and 1 was deeply impressed
by this mans apparent interest in things
American and occidental.
Doubtless unaware that he would be
quoted as to his saying, he expressed
himself concerning the various towns in
this section.
"Bamberg," he said, 'is ahead far OF
Denmark, Blackville, Branchville, Allen
dale, Barnwell, in fact all Of the towns
any where near here, and I have been
greatly pleased with my stay here"
"The town." he continued, "is seeming
" full of culture and evidently has a
progressive spirit in most lines OF work" ;"
"This is praise from Sir Hubert" and
that .'is praise indeed"

Co.operation is the secret of success in
any town or community. If our people
will work together for the common well
fare of the whole, the coming fall season
will be the greatest ever known for the
material interests of the town.

NV Gawd! as our good friend, Col.
Bacon, would say, where did Ed. DeCamp
get that cut he published on the front
page of his paper last Friday? We know
that he was at White Stone that day, so
of course we can't blame him for it.
~
Two kinds of meetings are very popu.:
lar in South Carolina just now. They
are being held in many counties on the
subject Of voting out the dispensary or to
discuss the liquor question in some way,
and to take steps to get the Presbyterian
college, now located at Clinton. 1t takes
lot of wind, and time to consider, when
the pocket nerve if concerned.
~
Through the efforts of Editor J. G..
Hemphill, Congressman Geo. s. Legare,
and the people of Charleston, the con-
tractors who wanted to put shabby work
in the dry dock at Charleston's new navy
ward, have been whipped out and the
original government inspectors will con-
tinue in charge of the work. Thus has
another scheme of graft been defeated by
patriotic effort.
The Peoples Advocate, of Anderson
saws that it is a question in Bamberg as
to whether we want the dispensary and
electric lights or blind tigers and dark
ness. Our contemporary is mistaken.
There is no such question before our
people nor will there be. There is no
movement on foot to vote the dispensary
out of this county, and our remarks OF
last week had no local bearing. Person.
ally, and speaking for the people OF this
county, we would prefer the dispensary
with or without electric lights to blind
tigers, and there is no prospect OF an elec'
tion being held in this county under the
Brice bill. But we believe that the sys.
tenn will be done away with all over the
State in the next two years, for so many
counties will vote it out that the legisla-
ture will abolish the whole thing. There
fore, with this outlook before US, we do
not believe it would be wise for the town
to enter into contract for thirty years
providing for an annual expenditure for
electric lights. No, contemporary, you
evidently do not understand the matter.
Bamberg county will hold on to the dis
pensary for while longer at least, but it
looks like the State will have prohibition
in the next few years.

WHY scME BOYS FAIL.

Some of the very greatest failures
in life in America In recent years
have been failures of men whose lives
and careers are blazoned abroad as
those of great, successful men. Their
sons are noted for their worthless
ness. as degenerate sons of worthy
sires, mere idle sports" and volup-
tuaries, wretched beings who some
times attain cheap and ephemeral
notoriety for some monkeylike folly
and dissipation. These young men are
untitled to make living for them
selves, and they are untitled to spend
the money which their fathers piled
up with infinite pains and labors. In
these cases 1t Is extremely doubtful
IL the worthless sons are to be
blamed; the fathers, the great, sue
cessful men, are primarily at fault be-
cause, though they made money and
name, they did not give any time or
pains or thought at all to the most i'm
portant work in the world, which is
the rearing of honorable and useful
men.
There is no sanctuary of virtue
like home" and unhappy will be the
annals of the land where the beauty,
affection and strength of the home are
sacrificed for any other interest,"
Philadelphia Ledger.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1905-01-24
HEALTH FIRST.

Il is bad commentary on the
physique of our young men that OF l99
candidates who passed the mental ex-
animation at the Naval Academy this
year, ia were rejected because they
did not come up to the physical stand
ard. 1t appears to be easier to produce
good book students than students who
are good specimens physically. Ath-
letes are not necessarily healthy sub
jects; In fact, most of them overdo
ana develop weaknesses. What we
need is more rational attention to the
common sense laws Of health.
No amount of book learning is
worth much without the foundation OF
good health, and at the pace most of
us are living these days good health
is bound to be the exception instead
Of the rule. You can find half dozen
scholars to one person who gives any
thought to the preservation of his
health. The average person goes on
the principle of abusing his health
and relying on medicine to fix him
up, instead of living in way to fore
stall sickness.-The Beacon.
