The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1907-06-20

A woman who has made a modest
competence by running a private ho-
tel says she would rather have women
as boarders than men. Perhaps they
are little inquisitive about one an
others affairs, she admits, and dis
posed to find fault oftener than they
are justified in doing. On the other
hand, they usually voice their COM
plants either directly or in such a
manner that the criticisms soon reach
the landlady's ears. Men, on the con-
trary, don't lodge so many open COM
plants, but they make bitter remarks
one to another, and it is seldom their
remarks are repeated to the hostess
until too late to Offset their bad effect.
This woman puts herself on record as
saying that when men are inclined to
be at all disagreeable they are much
more difficult to deal with than wo-
men. One can always soothe disgrun-
tied women by little extra attention
to their comfort, she says, but the
male boarder or hotel guest who un-
dertakes to criticise place harshly is
a hopeless case.-Kansas City Star.

His Last Retort,

The story is told of a well known
Chicago criminal lawyer whose valu-
able services were retained by the
wealthy relatives of a man accused
Of murder in a southwestern state.
The case was a bad one, for evi-
dence was overwhelmingly against
the accused. Despite the. fact the
lawyer contrived by the sHllful ex-
ercise of every trick and maneuver
known to the profession to secure the
disagreement of juries, delays, ap-
peals, ETC., till at last the case was
brought before the supreme court Of
the United states.
One day in an interview between
the prisoner and his counsel the
former asked, I'm case the supreme
court should decide against me, what
will be my next mover"
TO heaven, l hope" was the can
did response of the lawyer.

FOOLISH BOYS.
Fired q Pistol on Streets and Struck
Confederate Monument.


BENNETTsv1LLE, June 17.-In the
mayors court this afternoon a fine of
SIS was imposed upon William Eason,
q young white man, who was before
the mayor on the charge of firing a
pistol in the town limits.
It seems that young Eason, with
two chums, Robert Ricaud and Ken
meth Matheson, was having good
time" late Saturday night and while
on the public square fired his pistol
and the ball hit the crown of the statue
of the Confederate monument. The
young men were 80 feet from the
monument and the pistol was fired at
random, so the story goes and the
ball accidentally, so the story goes
struck the monument.
Under the present lawthe maximum
fine for this offence is $100, and as
Eason pleaded guilty, the mayor fixed
the penalty at SIS.
The statue, which is built Of Italian
marble, was completed on Saturday
last.
The occurrence has aroused indig-
nation and it may be that the ques-
ton will be brought before the court
of general sessions here next week.

Nexno Kills Another.

ORANGEBURG, S. c., June7.-E. M.
Dantzler, colored, was shot and killed
this afternoon by George Davis, also
colored. Dantzler lives on his farm,
about three miles from Orangeburg,
and about 2 o'clock this, afternoon
Davis drove up in his wagon and called
Dantzler out and after a few words
shot him with a gun. Dantzler turned
to run and Davis shot him the second
time, killing him. No one saw the
first shot but an old woman nearby
saw the second.
Davis drove on Immediately and as
he drove by she asked him whom he
had shot.
Davis had not lived with his wife
in some time and it is said he taxed
Dantzler with intimacy with her and
then shot him.
Dantzler was about IS years of age,
married, and probablyno colored man
in the county stood higher in the es-
TEEN of the whites. His farm is val
ued at between 81, 900 and s., 200. He
had taught school and was very quiet
and unassuming.
Davis has not been captured.

Citizenship as an Asset.
Omaha Bee.)

erican citizens of foreign birth
are furnishing the Naturalization Bu-
reau at Washington with additional evil
dence of the value of citizenship in this
country by filing protests against that
part of the new law that presumes citi-
zenship to have elapsed after two years
of residence in the mother country The
protests prove the excellence of the
measure, which was adopted by Con-
gress at the request of the State De-
partment officials, who have had no end
of trouble in the past trying to protect,
as American citizens, foreigners who
had taken out naturalization papers in
this country and then returned to their
native land to reside.
A striking illustration was furnished
in the case of Ion Perdicaris. captured
by Raisuli, the Morocco bandit, in 1904.
Perdicaris, Greek by birth, had lived
in America and secured naturalization
papers. He then returned to Europe
and engaged in business at Algiers,
where he was captured. He had not
been in America for twenty years, had
no property or interest here and did not
discover his wonderful allegiance to the
land until he was in the hands of the
bandit. Then he appealed to our State
Department and caused an information
al wrangle before he was released.
Reports from other countries show
that the practice of trading in American
citizenship has grown too common. For
eigners with American citizenship pa
pers return to their homes, evade mill
tary duty, avoid jury service and hold
themselves exempt from any obligations
and taxes that must be borne by their
fellow-citizens. They do this as Ameri-
can citizens, although, for the most
part, they have no idea Of ever return
ing to this country or using their citi-
zenship except for the exemptions it
may secure them in their old homes.
Under the new law these persons will
have to choose between one country or
the other and realize that American cit
izenship is something more than con-
Venience

Not Costly.

Almond taffy-To make almond tat
fy boil together one-half pint Of water
and one pound Of brown sugar for ten

the middle one and one-half ounces of
almonds; STIR them in the strip with
two ounces Of butter. Let the mixture
boil hard for ten minutes. Pour on a
we'll buttered dish to the thickness of
one-half inch.
Candied Walnuts-Put one and one
half cupfuls of granulated sugar in a
saucepan with one-half cupful of wa
ter. Stir until the sugar is dissolved;
then boil until the strip will spin a
short hair when dropped from the
tines of a fork Drop in one pint OF
shelled walnut meats, and when the
sugar again comes to the boiling point
take from the fire and stir until the
strip changes to white candy, a por.

THE sUNFLowER AND oulNINE.
Discovery Made That Plant Yields a
Splendid Febrifuqe.

An eminent Spanish professor has
made the discovery that the sunfiow-
er yields a splendid febrifuge that can
be used as a substitute for quinine.
More than ten years ago Moncorvo
reported to the Therapeutical society
Of Paris with reference to the same
subject Accordingly the sunfiower
should not only by It's growing exert
great fever-dispelling effect, but also
yield product which ia used advan-
tageously in all feverH.
The common sunfiower is an Amer
lean plant Its original home is
stated by eminent botanists to be
Peru and Mexico.
The Russian peasantry seem to be
convinced that the plant possesses
properties against fever, and fever pa
uents sleep upon q bed made of sun
flower leaves and also cover them
selves with them. This use has re-
Gently induced a Russian physician to
experiment with a coloring matter
prepared from sunfiower leaves, and it
Is stated that he has had good results
with the colorinE matter and with al
coholic extracts from the flower and
leaves. With 100 children from one
month to IL years old he has, in the
majority Of cases. effected as speedy
a cure as otherwise with quinine.

TROUSERS UNDER THE BAN.
Less Than Century Ago They Were
Considered lrreligious.

1t will assuredly seem more than
strange that within the past hundred
years the wearing of trousers has
been regarded as irreligious. The fact
that in October, 1912, an order was
made by st. Johns and Trinity col
leges that every young man who ap
peared in hall or chapel IN pantaloons
or trousers should be considered as
absent is startling enough; but II
would appear that eight years later
the founders of a Bethel chapel at
Sheffield inserted a clause in the
trust deed ordaining that under no
circumstances whatever shall any
preacher be allowed to occupy the
pulpit who wears trousers" This is
striking, but 1t is even more impress
sive to find that Rev. Hugh Bourne,
one of the two founders of the PRINT
tive Methodist Connexion, said of his
confounder, THAT trousers wearing,
beer drinking Cloves will never get
to heaven" And it would need a stu
dent of the Brooches Bible" to say
precisely when this assumed con-
nection between theology and trousers
began and where the departure from
1t will end.-Notes and Queries.

WILL DELVE IN THE PAST.
Lons-Ruried Cities of Italy Are to Be
Exhumed.

All the world will join in applaudinE
the resolution OF Italy to disinter what
treasures may yet remain under the
debris of the age-long forgotten cities
of Ostia and Paestum. Both cities
were unkindly dealt with by Provi-
dence. The glory OF Ostia, chief port
OF ancient Rome, receiving the corn
and oil of Sicily. Sardinia and Africa,
was slowly but surely betrayed by
Father Tiber and flung contemptuous-
ly out of reach of the shallowest ships.
Time. curiously enough. has. however.
failed to rob her of her industry which
first made her famous, and salt is
still produced in small quantities from
the little village of one hundred inhab-
itants that has stolen the old city's
name and pays the ruins homage from
the modest distance of two miles.
Paestum is more Greek than Roman,
and one may anticipate that If an
other temple of Neptune or temple OF
Ceres lies beneath the heaped-up dust
of the centuries it will be Athens and
not Rome that will be raised from
the dead. Paestum's fate is sadder
than that of Ostia for the Greek col.
ony on Roman soil was early smitten
by malaria and an evil reputation
caused her to be buried in a deeper
oblivion than the wave-washed col
umns of Ostia.
