Letter from Charleston.

To the Editor of The Bamberg Herald
Nv Dear Sir: While not one hundred
miles from Charleston, feel safe in say
ing that many of your readers in and
around Bamberg have never visited the
dear old "city by the sea-" so would ask
snace in your valuable columns to bring
more plainly before them some OF the
many attractions she offers to her friends
of inland towns. I say finland" as the
roaring waves of the ocean with its
surf baths and the calm, placid waters OF
the Ashley and Cooper rivers, where row.
ing, sailing and fishing can be enjoyed
are indeed attractions to those who live
where large body of water is never SEEN
While Charleston as city is attractive
to visitors at all times, in summer she is
at her best. Some years ago I spent
many months in your town, and have on
many occasions entertained a room full
of young and old folks describing the
many old and picturesque buildings ano
historic points in and around the CITY,
so accessible and yet unknown to my
hearers. That was perhaps some nine
years ago, and since then many improve
ments are visible and attractions added
From a business standpoint her progress
is visible on all sides. The innumerable
new and handsome buildings speak for
the advancement and prosperity OF the
city.
In the summer Charleston as a pleasure
resort is without an equal in the South.
The Isle of Palms, Sullivan's Island, and
Hampton Park vie with each other in the
attractions they offer. The week end ex-
cursions which are run from all points to
the Isle of Palms during the summer
months afford everyone, young or DID,
rich or poor, an opportunity to come to
Charleston, spend day at the seashore
or in the city as they may wish, and re-
turn to their homes the same day. A day
thus spent will, I feel sure, be followed
by many and many more A surf BATH
some good fishing, long walks On the
beach, gathering shells by the seashore'
q dance in the glorious pavilion, and a
good dinner at either of the well kept up
to-date hotels, and what is needed to make
q day one to be remembered. But have
become so interested in my subject that l
fear have claimed too much OF your
time and space. Forgive me this time
and I will be more considerate in future
If what have said of Charleston reads
like a fairy tale I would say to you and
syour readers, come and judge for your
selves. T. ~

Lawful Debt, Legally Collected.


When Mike left the employ of Brother
Rubbles, who kept country store and
also "farms it" in Washington county,
Maine, he owed considerable balance to
Brother Rubbles. Mike seemed quite will
ing to forget about it, but more intimate
acquaintance, of Brother Rubbles never
lost faith that the account would be
squared in due time.
After Brother Rubbles had ceased even
to drop gentle hints about the bill, Mike
became the owner of lusty hog, of which
he was inordinately proud. he Dragged
about it increasingly, and Brother Rubbles
made friendly call one day to see it, and
praised the hog in way that delighted
the heart of the lucky owner.
"Can't see how ye got him so fat, Mike" !"
said brother Rubbles. mime don't fill
out that way" Then after pause Brother
Rubbles added, "Pve got shote I'll give
ye if you want it. should like to see
what ye can do with my stock"
There is an old saying that sets forth
the danger of trusting the Greeks, even
when they offer gifts, but Mike had never
heard it. At the first opportunity he
went over to Brother Rubbles's barn, and
brought away the sorriest-looking shote
that ever lived.
The next day Brother Rubbles levied"
on the big hog. The law would not have
permitted him to do that so long as Mike
was the owner of only one pig.

"One Shank More"

The writer of "Some Recollec-
tions of Legal Luminaries" tells the
following story as an illustration
of the wit of the late Lord Robert
son:
While practicing at the bar as an
advocate Robertson was waited upon
one evening at his house in Drum
mond place by miner who wished
to consult him about obtaining COM
pensation for the loss Of limb
caused by "a coliery accident.
1t was after dinner, and Robert
son was either unwilling to be trou-
bled at the time or he found the op-
portunity of making a joke irresist-
ible, for, ewing the miner, minus his
leg, he said:
q see how it is, friend; you have
come to the wrong person. If you
will step over to Great King street,
which is just at hand, you will find
there one Shank More that will pNt
YOU all right"

advocate, also practicing at the bar,

Anthracite Coal.

That the man who discovered an
thracite coal was public bene-
factor goes without saying, but who
was he? In 1891 the Pennsylva-
MIA legislature tried to appropriate
$4,000 to build monument to Phil
in Ginter of Carbon county as the
discoyerer. His right to the title and
honor being disputed, sage leglsla-
tor said: Eve ought to have a dis
coverer of coal and might as well
have him, so whether it was Ginter
or not makes no difference. We are
willing to concede his claim"
The earliest users of anthracite
in PENNSYLVANIA antedated Glnter
twentv-three years. They were oba-
diah and Daniel Gore, blacksmlths
from Connecticut, who lived near
Wilkesharre. Jesse Fell was the first
TO burn il in CRATE as house fuel,
and it was not until 1885 that a
boat owner in New York could be
induced to try it for making steam.

The DlSC0VERY'S VOYAGE.
What Scott and His Crew Suffered In
Search For South Pole.

Captain Robert +. Scott in his
yooa, The Voyage OF the Discoy .

mad ever done before. Three Oi
them were iaDoriousiy working to-
ward the south with dogs and
,lydges. In December Captain
Scott says that they were passing
from the hungry TO the rayenous
condition. They could scarcely di-
vert their thoughts from food, and
the talk ran on little else. Both on
the march and at night they felt
this very badly, and in the middle
OF their sleep they would jump up
with the most distressing feeling of
emptiness and the knowledge that
il still wanted four or five hours To
breakfast time. About this time,
too, symptoms Of scuryy began to
make their appearance. This prob
ably was due TO the character of the
food Breakfast consisted of penn
mican, biscuit and badly made tea,
and for lunch they had a small piece
Of seal meat. half u biscuit and
eight or ten Jumps of sugar, and
their supper va, equally frugal. So
it Is no wonder that they suffered
from food dreams" and other con-
sequences Of hunger. However, they
tried to keep Christmas day as well
as they could. This is how they
spent Christmas in the extreme
south, somewhere about latitude
Slla degrees south.
"Whcn we awoAe TO wish each
other a merry Christmas the sun
was shining warmly through our
green canvas roof. We were outside
in twinkling, to find the sky glo-
riously clear and bright, with not
a single cloud in its vast arch.
Away to the westward stretched the
long line of cleaning coast line. The
sunlight danced and sparkled in the
snow beneath our feet, and not a
breath of wind disturbed the sereni-
ty of the scene. 1t was a glorious
morning, but We did not stay TO
contemplate it, for we had even
more interesting facts to occupy US,
and were soon inside the tent sniff

Pretty GIRL Was shrewd.

The pretty girl whom the drug

tered the store rather diffidently
and approached the clerk with the
air of one about to ask favor.

accommodating" he replied. What

She brought forth a bottle, which
she handed him.

SCOTCH HOSPITALITY.
How a Country Gentleman Lived In

We have an interesting account Ot

brought in by the servants with
their hats on. custom which i, cor

writing in 1898, says that, being at
a knights house who had many
servants to attend him, they brought

The kinq and His Valet.

Louis XV., king of France, had
for his valet a worthy individual,
though of grave disposition and but
little given to jesting. One evening
as he was leaning over balcony
and waiting till his majesty should
retire to rest, Louis XIV. came out
of his room, and, being in frolic-
some mood, i'll becoming his dignity,
but tempted by the favorable atti-
tude of the valet, he dealt him vio-
lent slap on the back. The man
turned around to return the blow,
but on seeing the king he said,
