Mans Skull Crushed.

SPARTANBURG, July S.-Aaron Null
lies at the hospital with his forehead
crushed in. He is in precarious condi.
tion and his physicians entertain little
hope of his recovery. His son, young
Adolphus Null, is accused of indicting
the terrible injury and has been com.
mitted to Jail to await trial.
1t seems that Null came to town on
Thursday and sold some cotton. He then
loaded up on mean whiskey, and went
home bent on row. He soon got into
one with his whole family. In the melee
it would appear, he was Drained with an
axe. Circumstances point to the son as
the wielder of the instrument. BE, how.
ever, as we'll as the entire family, protest
that the old man was not struck with any
thing, but that in his drunken stupor, he
fell against the side of the house, thus in.
ficting the injury. On the other hand
his attending physicians declare that so
severe hurt could not have been
brought about except by blow from some
blunt instrument.
Null and his family live near Clifton.
Altogether it is an ugly affair. The
wounded man was unable to make a state.

The Press Association.

of year through the ending of the same,
never taking note of a holiday except to
call the attention of others to the fact
that it is a holiday, are in session this
week at White Stone. These pencil push.
ers deserve the rest and all the pleasure
which such a gathering permits.
There will be treats for the old stager
who has served the commonwealth as
member of the fourth estate; there will be
no lack of inspiration for the young man
who is ready to cast his lot with the stir
ring turmoil Of newsgatherers; and for
every one there will be helpful papers of
information and interest.
Such convention of men is peculiar to
itself, there is nothing just like it in the
world, perhaps pride and prejudice-.pride
belonging to US and prejudice to out
siders--will be excused long enough for it
to be said that there is nothing quite so
fine as gathering Of these men who toll
upward in the night and prepare the
news for their readers.

The New EnRland Kitchen.

There is a kind Of sentiment about
the kitchen in New Engiand-a kind
Of sentiment not provoked by other
rooms. Here the farmer drops in to
spend a few minutes when he comes
back from the barn or field on an
errand. Here in the great clean.
sweet, comfortable place, the busy
housewife lives, sometimes rocking the
cradle, sometimes opening and shut
ting the oven door, sometimes stirring
the pot darning stockings, pairing
vegetables or mixing goodies in a yel-
low bowl. The children sit on the
steps, strtnging beans, shelling peas or
hulhng berries, the cat sleeps on the
floor near the wood box and the visitor
feels edled II be stays In sitting room
Or parlor, for here, where tie mother
Is always busy, Is the heart OF the

A convention of representatives from
the various chambers of commerce, boards
of trade and such organizations has been
proposed for August 18th, the meeting to
be held in Columbia. Every town and

The question naturally arises: Will
Bamberg be in the picture, or will We
sleep in bliss, content with little bliss and
still less of improvement? Will our re.
sources, which compare so favorably with
those of other towns and communities, be
brought before the public at the conven.

: Some definite organization Of our busi.

Bamberg may be in the convention, but
it is, aside from that, nighttime that such
a concentration of interest be developed
The main aim of the convention seems
to be to develop South Carolina re.

behind the rest of South Carolina.
Will Bamberg be there? Yes or no; to
be silent and inactive will mean no, but
action means yes.

THE PASSER-BY

The following thoughts are taken from:
that greatest Of novels, Les Misersbles.
by Victor Hugo:
The simplest are sometimes the wisest.
To be wicked does not insure pros.
perity.
Ignominy thirsts for respect.
The finger of God has written on the
brow of every man-Hope!
Tyranny follows the tyrant.
There are instincts for every crises OF
life.
Good thought as we'll as bad have their
abysses.
Diamonds are found only in dark places
of earth; truths are found only in the
depths of thought.
In vain We chisel as best We can the
mysterious block of which life is made,
the black vein of destiny appears contin-
ually.
There is always more misery among the
lower classes than there is humanity
among the higher.
A little lie, an innocent lie, can such a
thing exist? To lie is the absolute of evil.
To lie little is not possible; he who lies
lies whole lie; lying is the very face OF
the demon.
Satan has two names: heis called Satan
and the liar.
As birds make nest of anything, child.
rem make doll of no matter what.
One hundred years is youth to church
but old age to private mansion; it would
seem that the dwelling partakes Of mans
brief existence, and the dwelling place OF
God, of his eternity.
Have no fear of robbers or murderers.
Such dangers are without and are but
petty. We should fear ourselves. PREF
udices are The real robbers; vices the real
murderers. The great dangers are within
Us.
The hatred of luxury is not an intell'-
gent hatred. 1t implies hatred of the
arts.
We live in sad society. Succeed; that
is the advice which falls, drop by drop
from the overhanging corruption.
A character as well as a rock may be
worn into by drops of water. Such marks
are ineffaceable; such formations indes-
tructible.

Let US eliminate from the town any
stragglers who hesitate to believe in BAN
berg.
With John Hay dead Mr.. Roosevelt
will do well to keep out of diplomatic
squabbles.
Here's to the men of the wee small
hours as they assemble at White Stone
this week.

Wherever you 60, let that good word
be spoken which will help your town. 1t
will help you also.
~
There were enough accidents partaking
of the strenuous nature on the Fourth OF
July, to satisfy the most strenuous.
~
The editor of this newspaper wanted
electric lights and waterworks for Bam-
berg as much as any citizen in the town,
but for the last month or more we have
doubted the wisdom of contracting for
them now on account of the probable
death of the dispensary and the loss Of
profits to the town. Our town has here
tofore received nearly three thousand
dollars year from this source, and with
this gone taxes would have to be in.
creased in order to pay for lights and
water. This we were opposed to, and
stated to members of council some weeks
ago that it would be best to let the
matter drop for the present if possible.
Now that the franchise has expired, we
hope council will not allow the parties to
come in and put up the plant, and we un-
derstand that is their attitude. Let Us
see where the money is to come from be-
fore we incur this Indebtedness. It is bet-
ter for Us to do without these conve-
niences for a while rather than increase
taxes. In case the dispensary is killed
county taxes will have to be increased,
and that is all We can stand for the pres.

The Passing Of the Merry-go.round.

That beastly thing that goes around
And makes Us people cuss and swear
Has made its exit from the town
Meier to return within the year.
Ach himmel how it makes Us feel
To hear those horses running round
As the organ plays its spiel
The same old tune-it will not down!
1t makes US feel powerful fine
Just to think that we can snooze
And never hear that organ grind
Into our heads like mountain booze.
So here's to the great merry-go-round
May it hit the fastest train
Leaving Bamberg for the south
Ne'er to return this way again.

UNION PACIFIC
ATTRACTS CROWD
Many Shares of This Stock
Purchased.

NEW YORK, April 5.-NearIy all the
leading brokers expected that the mar
ket would decline far more than it did
on the announcement of the proposed
issue OF $lOO.00O,0JJ new Union Pacific
preferred stock. The crowd in Union
Pacihc was very large, over 200 brokers
having orders or an interest in initial
trading
o. b. Macdonald, who makes his
headquarters with Hartman g. Co,
went among this crowd shortly before
the opening offering to take all the
STOCK that anyone would sell at a fair
opening, but only contracted for about
900 shares. Brokers with selling or
ders preferred to make the transaction
In a regular way. AS soon as the gong
sounded there was a scramble and the
general tangling up of the crowd, the
stock selling at $50 to 1907 at the same
time, and $4,000 shares were reported
as the amount of the opening sales
0. B. Macdonald took 10000 shares as
he reached them in different parts of
the crowd. Frank Savin took 10000
shortly after the opening. Strong, Stur-
gis and Company took 1900 at the open
There were so many sellers that 1t was
hard to give their names IN detail. O.
Is. Macdonald continued buying and did
most of the work in forcing the price
back to above 131.
There is a good deal of guessing as
to the payments of the issue of the
new preferred stock. One of the
closest associates of E II. Hartman
said that the issue was step in the
contamination of what is regarded as
the Vanderbilt deal. and that he had
the strongest reasons for saying that a
Union Pacific-New York Central agree
ment was signed two months ago.
Canadian Pacific was notably strong.
Wassermann Brothers in the first hour
bought 1000. shares, and are still buy
ing. Amalgamated opened strong, but
there was what was called a poor mar
ket for this stock with quotations a
= quarter of a point apart, and selling
orders could only be executed at con-
cess1ons. B. l.. Smith & Co. are con-
tinued buyers of St. Louis Southwest
ern preferred.
The quotations from London reflected
moderately bearish views.

doesn't apply to British children. In

What is lukewarm water?''

Water Is lukewarm when 1t looks

IN AND OUT.

A prominent physician in Baltimore
recently perpetrated a Witticism at mis-
own expense. 1t was late at night The
doctor had lost his night key; the doo1.
was locked: he was cold from a long
ride; and the more he rang the night
bell the more the suspicion grew in his
mind that some one had chloroformed
the entire household. Finally, however,
his sister was aroused by a long ring
Of the bell Naturally she thought there
vas some one at the door who wished
to see the doctor; and that, as the doc
tor was out, she would herself have to
answer the summons, else the caller
would keep her awake for long time
So. hastily throwing a loose gown over
her night dress, she hurried to the door.
Opening the door the least bit, in order
net to present her dishabille to an in
truding eye, she shouted through the
crack, in tone of sleepy impatience,

close the door. when the physician
thrust one foot through, at the same
time exciaiming:
Yes. I know the doctors out: but

NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF THE STOCK MARKET
NEW YORK,

The movements of prices yesterday,
such as they were, reflected apathy as
much as uncertairty-apathy On the part
of investors and the speculative pup
fessional element To both Of these
moods the startling action at Albany on
the stock transfer tax bill, and the dls-
gushing spectacle presented ey proml-
ficulties, were believed to have contrib
uted No one can see just how the
Equitable affair can become a serious
factor in the stock market. yet no one
knows what turn 1t may take next,
while as it Is it is quite capable of ex--
erting a powerful sentimental influence
in keeping the public away from Wall
Street In fact, it is likely to do more
harm in inspiring distrust In things not
deserving of 1t than in any other way.
There was exceedingly little short in
terest open in the Steel issues yester-
day, and the rise depended almost
wholly on sheer buying orders. Traders
had been buying the stocks IN the belief
that the Forthcoming quarterly state
ment had not been fully discounted, and
that both issues would be somewhat
higher before the end Of this week. This
stock Will be for sale before the official
figures are actually given out, as there
is little danger of these being better
than the estimates which the Street has
pretty generally accepted. Already es-
Inmates of the current quarters earn
ings are made as high as S35, 0OO. 900, bas-
ed on the still unconfirmed estimate Of
the first quarters profits, and intended
to bolster the market against the real
izing Of traders and insiders.
1t is reported that a pool has been
formed in Vulcan DEFINING stocks, the
preferred of which has recently paid ID
quarterly dividend and which the direc-
tors say will hereafter pay the full
yearly rate of Z per cent. The prefer
red dividend was passed IN January,
1904 after the destruction of a plant at

ton of the pool is said to have been
caused by the desire Of the Blooming
dale interests to dispose of their hold

For years 1t has been said of Erie that
its independence in the Eastern trunk
line territory gave its stock great po-
tential values. The Street is now try
ing to make concrete application of this
truth for aside from the road excel

oping relations with the Hill-Morgan
group that makes it a speculative fav-
orite at the moment. With New York
