Bamberg Warehouse.

The Bamberg Herald is urging sub
scriptions to the capital stock of a ware
house in that town. If the same ideas
prevail in Bamberg that govern in Abbe-
vile the Bamberg warehouse would be .
paying investment. Stock in the Able.
vile warehouse has never sold below par.
A company was organized about five
years ago. In little while much OF the
stock changed hands at and above par.
At the end of two years the stock went
up to $12O the share of 500. In another
year, the farmers bought it at $3.50 8
share. Last week they refused big ad-
vance on that, and not a seller to be
found.
The fact is, that our farmers had been
storing their cotton under trees without
cash outlay that they were slow to adopt
new methods, and not so many stored
their cotton for year or two after our
warehouse was built.
One room was enough for the first year;
the business increased every year, and ad-
ditional houses were built. -Four two
story compartments, 40 or so by 100 feet,
were insufficient last year, and an acre Of
ground was rented for month or two
when cotton soon covered it. The capaci-
ty of the warehouse is 1000 bales. At Is
cents bale per month this brought in
right good sum. The manager, Mr.. Ma
gill, was new man at the beginning Of
the last season, and he hadn't learned
how to draw big salaries. If it hadn't
been for the unreasonable charges for in
surance the company, at 5000 month
storage fees, would have made surplus
worth talking about. Much ofthe cotton
has been sold, and only 5000 bales now
remain in the house. If our Bamberg
friends will write to Mr.. R. E. Cox, they
may learn something to their advantage
about insurance. he has succeeded in
reducing the Abbeville insurance on cot.
ton down from 70 cents bale to less than
10 cents a bale.-Abbeville Press and
Banner.

To the best paid man. It's sound
sense that we tell you. Your work costs
less dollars and is best every time you use
the L. & NJ. paint. You do more paint
ing with one gallon of L. & NJ. than with
two gallons of other paints and the L. &
NJ. zinc hardens the L. & NJ. white lead
and makes the L. 8 N. paint wear like
iron. gallons L. & NJ. mixed with 8
gallons linseed oil will paint moderate
sized house. Actual cost L. & NJ. about
$1.2O per gallon. A. T. Terrell, River

No Kowtowing for Him.

They tell this one on former Governor
George Hoadly of Ohio:
Once upon time, in the midst of a
campaign, Mr.. Hoadly was to deliver a
speech in little town in the great and
glorious buckeye State. When he reached
the one hotel the town boasted, he walked
up to the register and wrote his name.
The proprietor head-porter-steward-head
waiter depot-runner was behind the desk
in his sleeves, his hat on the back OF his
head and cigar stump held between his
teeth. When the visitor had put down
his name, John Hancock, the factotum
turned the register around, read without
the flicker of an eyelid the name there
written, wrote 40" beside it with lead
pencil, and said:
"You kin jest take yer grip right up
that stairway there an back down tn
hall clean to the end. Yer rooms right
on tn left hand side of tn hall, in tn
cOrner-number H..
With considerable astonishment and
not a little bit injured dignity, Ohio's
chief executive pointed to his name
smiled family and said:
II am George Hoadly."
"Yep; I notice." said the rusti without
t,-,;no q hair uan' YER rooms right there
at tn end of tn hall-number 10. CAM
miss it."
With more hauteur, and almost culver
ing with outraged Importance the guest
said impressively:
Il am George Hoadly, governor Of the
state of Ohio"
Turning then, with look Of exasper-
ated impatience on his face, the hotel
man exclaimed:
"Well, what dye expect me t. do-kiss
ye?"

Politics and Candidates.
NJ. W. B.

NJ. W. B.
The State political campaign is due tc
open June 10.
Politics, like baseball, will warm up as
the summer comes on. The general pub
lie is the umpire in either case.
The candidates for the gubernatorial
chair who have announced themselves
thus far are, Lieutenant Governor j. T.
Sloan, NJ. F. Ansel, R. I. Manning, G. L.
Blease and Joel E. Brunson. The last
named is out for prohibition.
The race for auditor in this county
promises to be warm regardless of the
weather. R. W. D. Rowell, s. P. Chisolm.
and d. A. Ray are now in the field.
Chopping cotton is the order of the day,
and as long as King Cotton continues in
his royal capacity, politics will not worry
the farmer much, except as pastime.
Mr.. E. T. LaFitte and Mr. c. W. Garris
are out for the legislature. The proba'
bility is that more will enter.
It seems to be question as to whether
any enc will venture to attack Father
Ben in his senatorial lair or not. But
the time is sometime off as yet and pos
sibly some one will dare.
Rumors have not been confirmed as te
j. q. Tillman running for congress from
this district. It is to be hoped that tht
report is without any foundation. Hi
candidacy could reflect no credit upor
this district, altho his defeat might.
MI. R. I. Manning, of Sumter, in hi
announced platform, favors the dispen
sary but he wishes it reformed. Mr.. N
F. Ansel wishes the dispensary, but wishes
it to be controlled by the counties rathel
than the State.
Will the dispensary be an issue in thi
county during the coming campaign? A
least, the candidates should state thei
position for or against.
Mr.. W. ]. Thurmond did not gain any.
thing for himself but a few newspaper
notices by attacking the convention re.

cbamois Skin of commerce.

Charles C. Druedling, of Philadel-
phia, has written an article for the
American Journal of Pharmacy on the
subject of chamois skins. What Is
known in the market as chamois skins.
he says, is really an obtained sheep
or lamb skin lining. The supply or
skins from the chamois animal is very
limited-enough could not be obtained
in a year to supply the United States
for more than single day. He made
special inquiry on recent visit to
Switzerland about the annual crop OF
the chamois skin and ascertained that
from 5000 to 5000 skins would be
fair average yearly crop. This skin is
heavier than the skin of the sheep or
lamb, also much coarser. For strength
and durability the chamois skin is pre-
ferable, but for ordinary use and ap-
pearance the oil-tanned sheep skin
lining would, in most instances, be
preferred.
