Who Has Won His Way Uward by
Force of Merit


Force of Merit.
Norris Brown, attorney general for
the state of Nebraska was born in
Iowa and acquired his early education
in the public schools of that state His
early ambition was to be a lawyer, and
at the first opportunity he began the
study of that profession and when adj
mitted to the bar began the practice of
law in his native state. Like hundreds
of other ambitious and energetic young
men, he looked for newer fields and
soon decided upon Nebraska. In 1883
h. moved to Kearney, Buffalo county,
and opened an Office. His success was
marked from the start. In 1893 he was
nominated by the republicans for
county attorney and elected, holding
the Office two terms and declining a
third term. He early became a leader
| in his party, and in the latter sos he
was nominated for congress in the face
OF an overwhelmingly adverse major
! ity and made a race that was little
/ short of phenomenal. His skill as a
dobater and his ability as an orator
attracted to him the attention of the
whole state. In 1901 he was appointed
deputy attorney and in 1904
was elected encouragement by tre-
mendous majority. In that Office he
has performed signal service in behalf
of the people, defending their cause
with splendid skill and ability.

ambitions. He is a lawyer by profess

>AMBERG, S. c., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4,
GREENWOOD NEGRO WHIPPED.
Party Of Men Took Him from His Cabin and
Lashed Him.

GREENWOOD, September 30.--Dave Mar
shall, negro, was taken from the cabin
in which he lives in the section of town
known as "Bamberg," and severely whip
ped last night after midnight.
There have been rumors that there
would be such whipping for several
days, but for the past few days little had
been heard of it. So far as it is possible
to find out, the cause for the whipping
lies in the fact that Marshall called lady
"liar" some weeks ago. The lady refer
red to assists her husband in small store
in town, and the negros impudence is
said to have been given in the store.
After the whipping the persons who
made up the crowd that whipped Mar
shall came upon the square and ran sew
eral negroes off the streets. There were
not many negroes on the streets after
midnight, but those who were, were made
to get off. No arrests were or have been
made. Nothing was known about the af-
fair by the people of the town generally
until this morning.

WILL RETIRE STATE DEBT
THE COMPTROLLER GENERALS PLANS TO
SAVE $4,000 A YEAR.
Two Vital Pieces Of Legislation to be Asked
For-May Issue Bonds Not Exempt
From Taxes.

Comptroller General Jones will ask the
next legislature to set aside $4,000 a
year until 1918, in order to provide fol
the retirement at the end of that time OF
one and half million dollars of the
State bonds, which are refundable then
at option.
He says that this amount, with the
sinking fund money, now amounts, in
round numbers, to $5,500,000. The States
debt now bears A. per cent. interest. This
means an annual interest bill of 1922, 900.
General Jones thinks that $5,000,000 may
be refunded at 81 per cent, which would
reduce the interest bill to $175,00O.
In order to prevent the banks buying
bonds to escape taxes, he will recommend
that the new issue be not exempted,
which will add s5,OO0,0OO to the taxable
property of the State. Of course this
scheme does not take account of the diff
Guilty of selling bonds not exempt.
Though he will not be likely to sue.
ceed, Comptroller General Jones will re-
new his fight in the legislature for aex-
ible tax levy, and along with this he will
repeat his recommendation that the pres
ent system of assessing property by
county and township boards be abolished
in favor of State board of four or five
members, who will be paid salary to 60
over the State and get the property on
the boards upon an equitable basis. He
hopes to be able steadily to gain ground
and finally to succeed, though he antici-
pates uphill work.

The Bread Was Sent Back.

A boy who had been working in bak-

finish his trade. One night when the
boss was gone, he broke the marble slab
he nodded the loaves on, so he went to
the marble yard to secure another, but
could not find one. On the way back he
passed a graveyard, and, as it was very
dark, he jumped over and pulled up 8
small headstone about the right size and
carried it and finished his job. The next
day after the bread had been delivered,
nearly all of it was sent back. The bak-
er looked at it and broke several loaves
open, but found nothing wrong; then he
turned one of the loaves over, and found
on the under side of every loaf the in-
scription: "Here lies the body of Mrs..

Millican Guilty of Manslaughter,

Millican Guilty of Manslaughter.
Ubi V. Millican was tried in the gener-
al sessions court at Spartanburg last week
and found guilty of manslaughter. Young
Millican, who is well known in Bamberg
having attended the Carlisle Fitting
School here, shot and killed his step-fath-
er, P. L. Cannon, on the streets of Spar.
tanburg few months ago. i
Cannon and the Millicah family are
from Orangeburg, but moved to Spartan
burg year or more ago. Young Mill:
can killed Cannon for beating his mother
and attempting to destroy the honor of
his sister. When the young fellow was
informed by his mother and sister of
what had occurred he got a Winchester
rifle and went up town and when he
found Cannon he shot him, killing him
instantly. Much of the testimony at the
trial was sensational, Millican's mother
and sister testifying to the attempts of
Cannon to seduce the young girl. The
judge gave him the lowest sentence pos
sible under the verdict, two years in. the
penitentiary. An appeal was taken to.
the State Supreme Court, and in the
meantime efforts will be made to have
the young man pardoned.

A newspaper is in no sense child of
charity. 1t earns twice over every dollar
it receives, and it is second to- no enter
prise in contributing to the upbuilding of
a community. Its patrons reap far more
benefits from its pages than its publishers,
and in calling for the support of the COM
munity in which it is published, it asks
for no more than in all fairness belongs
to it, though generally it receives less.

would any other enterprise because it
