A clergyman on an Atlantic voyage
had to share a state-room with an
other man. after a short while, "
said the clergyman, 81 began to
worry about some valuables I had
with me, and at last I took them to
the purser, saying, I should like to
explain to you that I am very pleased
with my fellow-passenger. That is,
l find him a gentleman in every re-
spect, and | wouldn't have you think
that-well, l wouldn't have you think
that my coming to you with these
valuables is to be taken-er-er-as
any reflection on him. The purser
interrupted me with a broad smile,
and said, oh, it's all right, sir, your
friend has come to me with some
valuables of his own, and he said pre-
cisely the same thing about your

Was it Kirkland Gums?

An old ex Ku Klux was in York
vile this week and recited an inter-
esting story as to the sudden disap-
pearance of Kirkland L. Gum while
giving evidence in the famous Ku-
Klux trials in Columbia years ago.
Gum was a native of McConnells-
vile and had been a member Of the
Ku-Klux Klan, but for some reason
became traitor to the organization
and was a witness against his former
comrades. His evidence was ex-
tremely damaging to York county
Clansmen; he had been on the wit
ness stand nearly the entire day and
when court adjourned in the evening
his story had been only partially told
and would no doubt have consumed
the greater part of the following
day.
When court convened the next
morning Gum was not present. He
had disappeared during the night.
Diligent effort on the part Of she
authorities failed to locate the miss
ing witness. Gums disappearance
baf1ed every one connected with the
court. He has never been heard of
from that day to this.
The old Clansman then gave an
account of a skeleton that was un-
earthed in Columbia a few weeks
ago when certain excavations were
being made on lower Main street.
He happened to be in Columbia at
the time and made some quiet per-
sonal Investigations into the matter.
He would not swear that the skele-
ton was not that of Kirkland Gum.
When Gum was ''lost" in Columbia
some thirty years ago that portion
of the city where the skeleton was
found was almost in woods so to
speak, and it would be hard for
those who were present at the time
to identify the spot now. However,
personal acquaintance remember
that Gum had a mouthful of round
even teeth. The ravages of time had
not rubbed the skeleton Of this prom
inent feature.
Was it the skeleton of Kirkland L.
Gum? The old Ku Klux Clansman
would not say.-Yorkville New Era.

The death of Rev. Sam P. Jones will
bring genuine sorrow to many hearts, not
only in the South, but all over the coun-
try, for ne was widely known through
his evangelical and lecture work. While
many Of US may have disapproved of his
style and methods, there is no question
but that he did great deal of good.
While he made much money, he gave a
good part of it away for charitable and
benevolent purposes. There was only one
Sam Jones, but there is no question that
the world is better because there was one.

The condition of Main street is and has
been for years well.nigh disgrace to
Bamberg. The present city council nor
the city officials before them are not to
blame for the conditions. But in the
first place the street is entirely too mar
row and the gradual slope makes it wash
badly. Nothing in the way of permanent
work can be done on it unless it is paved
with crushed rock, vitrifed brick or
something Of the sort. The sidewalks,
too, should be laid in concrete from the
cotton mill to the railroad, and the paw.
ing should extend for this distance. Some
may say the town cannot afford it, but
such is not the case. We know of no
town government better off financially.
The dust of the past few years has
damaged enough goods for the mer-
chants of the town, the value of which
would go a long way towards paving the
entire street. AS soon as the wet weather
comes ore can hardly get along for the
mud. We should not put up with such
conditions longer. Let city council take
a bold step and pave the street and &C.
ment the sidewalks. The most practicable
scheme for raising the money for the work
it seems to US would be for the property
owners on the street to pay two-thirds
of the cost and the city the other one
third. This would not make it burden
some on anybody, and it would give US
good streets and sidewalks for the busi-
ness section Of town. Some people might
object at first, but council would find out
in short while that they could not have
done more popular thing. The editor
of this paper owns property on both sides
of the street, and we would gladly pay
our proportion of the cost. We hope
city council will take up the matter, and
that right speedily.

she would await the coming of

claimed to have a sprained ankle

MO JURISDICTION
. SAYS THE BOARD

The police commission this after
noon submitted its report on the
investigation of charges Of "bribe-
taking" made by race track touts
against Detective Ed Stauffer. Prac-
tically no attention is paid to the
charges, the commission covering
the whole thing under general
statement that the board has no
jurisdiction over the Merchants
patrol.
The commission devotes about
two lines to the inquiry and fol-
lows with a recommendation that
the city council pass an ordinance
making the Merchants patrol
amenable to the authority of the
commission.
When Stauffer read the report
he expressed some disapproval, say
ing that although it seemed the de-
sire Of the commission to make it
clear he was exonerated, he would
rather have 1t shown more dis
tinctly In the report.
The finding in full follows
