Presence of Mind.

Presence of Mind.
One of Mrs. Hamilton Fishs rules
when her husband was secretary Of
state in Grants cabinet was to return
every call she received. Her husband
was continually holding public recep-
tiOns, and many women would come
who had no desire that Mrs. Fish
should call upon them.
One such woman attended Fish re-
ception, left her card and little later
was duly honored by a call from Mrs
Fish
1t was a beautiful, mild afternoon
The Fish equipage, all a-glitter in the
wintry sunshine, dashed down the mar
row street and halted before the wo-
mans little house with musical jim
gle of silver chains. The footman leap
ed from the box and opened the car
riage door, and Mrs. Fish descended
The woman Of the house was kneel-
ing OH the sidewalk beside bucket Of
hot water, with a scrubbing brush In
one hand and cake of soap in the
other. She was scrubbing the front
steps.
Bending graciously over her. Mrs.
Fish asked politely, "Is Mrs. Henry
Robinson at home"
And Mrs. Henry Robinson replied.

A Noisy Eater.
Ex-senator William e. Chandler has
M admirer in New Hampshire who
has ideas on how the government
should be conducted and writes Mr..
Chandler about them at great length.
After Chandler was defeated for the
senate and before he was appointed
president of the Spanish claims COM
mission the friend wrote, condoling
with the senator.
He said 1t was shame that the ma
tion and New Hampshire should be de-
prived Of the services Of so able man
as Mr.. Chandler and closed with this
prophecy: Nevertheless, 90 not think
republics are ungratcful. am con-
fident that your great merits will again
be recognized and that at no late date
we shall hear Of you feeding again at

Her Position.
An applicant for teacher in q coun-
try school was asked. What IS your
position with regard to the whipping

"My usual position Is on a chair
with the child held firmly across my
knees, face downward" was the reply.

More money is needed for the
piano fund of the graded school and
for the wiring of the building for
electric lights. 1t would be a good
idea to charge an admission fee of ten
or fifteen cents for commencement
exercises on Thursday and Friday
evenings. This is done in a number
of ftowns, and the plan works we'll. In
Sumter the money for admission
fees is used for a school library, and
we never heard of anybody objecting
to paying the small amount charged.
We hope the trustees will see the wis
dom of charging an admission fee
here. 1t will be most excellent plan
of raising funds which will be hard
to procure otherwise. We have al
ready contributed for both, but we
want to see the balance raised, and
we know of no better way to do it
without placing a burden on any one.

Will Sell Oil Mill.

SALUDA, May 15.-At a meeting Of
the stockholders Of the Saluda Oil Mill
Company held here yesterday it was
decided to offer the entire plant for
sale to the highest bidder the first
Monday in July. This step was decid-
ed upon not because of the mills fall
ure nor because it is undesirable prop
erty, but because in all the circum-
stances it was thought that to be the
best for those interested.
The mill is twenty-ton capacity,
has been in operation for four years
and is capitalized at $4,000, all paid
in.
Properly managed it would prove a
paying property. From one thousand
to fifteen hundred tons Of seed can
be easily secured annually and the en-
tire output save the oil finds a ready
local market. Cord wood in abun-
dance can be had at from so to Is
cents per cord cheaper than in other
markets, an amount sufficient to pay
for the drayage of the oil to the rail-
road. ~ -
There is a complete Munger gin

On the First.

, Rev. DR.. William H. Fishburn, pas
tor of the First Presbyterian church,
Camden, is one of the jolliest and
most sunshiny men in the world and
likes nothing better than a good
wholesome joke, even if it is turned
against himself. He was visited in
his home on last St. Patrick's day by
prosperous looking couple who de-
sired his kindly Offices in making
them one. The man was an iron
master from Pittsburg and the bride
elect was a Jersey woman. The busi-
ness was quickly dispatched and the
happy bridegroom came to the ques-
ton which so many in like fix ask
the clergymen: "Just suit yourself
as to that" said DR.. Fishburn as his
eyes rested upon a thick roll of bills
the ironmaster had dug out Of his
pocket. "Well," said the newly
made husband, "as this is the 18th
of March. I'll make it SIT, and good
luck to you." My friend" " said the
dominic, II wish you the greatest
happiness in the world, but if you
ever happen to want me again Just
call around on the 31st of the month.
mo, sir" replied the bridegroom
as he walked away, "I'llcome on the
1st." ."-Philadelphia Record.

treasury,

The claim is made that the recent
reunion of old soldiers in Columbia
was largely a drunken debauch, and
some of the veterans are complain
ing of the treatment received. We
have no facts before us in regard to
the matter, our only information
being derived from some of the
newspapers. The State of South Caro-
lima appropriated $500 for the ex-
penses of this reunion, which was
clearly illegal, for we do not believe
public funds should be used for any
such purpose. The appropriation
should not be made again, and the
reunions had better be abolished, if
reports of the recent affair are true.

The st. Matthews county advocates
have published a letter from gentle
man, who holds about the best pay
ing Office in Bamberg county, to
prove that the organization of Bam-
berg county was a great blessing. No
doubt it was to the gentleman with
the fat office, ano he could hardly be
expected to say anything else, but
how about the fellows who don't hold

! All the tax payers of Bamberg re-
gard the organization Of the county
as wise thing, for Notwithstanding
our tax rate is less than it was in the
old county, we have better roads,
better schools, with a surplus in the
treasury.

The announcement is made that
there will be no State summer school
for teachers this year, there being no
no funds on hand to pay expenses.
It is very we'll in our opinion that
such is the case, as the State summer
school was largely an outing for the
teachers. We know that as a rule
teachers are poorly paid, and after a
years hard work they need recreation
but we are opposed to their taking it
at the expense of the State.

Death of Mrs. J. j. Ingram.

Mrs. J. J. Ingram died suddenly at
her home in Barnwell at one o'clock
Tuesday morning, of acute indiges-
ton, aged 78 years. Up to a short
time before her death she was in her
usual health.
She is survived bv two daughters,
Mrs. John S. Shuck, of Bamberg,
and Mrs. R. H. Hagood, Of Barn

she has left the memory Of a life
radiant with kindly deed, loving serv-
ice and wise counsel that will grow
the brighter in their hearts as the
years pass on. For many years she
had been a consistent member of the
Baptist church.-Barnwell People.

The Orangeburg Patriot says If
Bamberg county did not have such a
large railroad mileage, her taxes
would be much higher than Orange
burg. Our contemporary goes on with
awhole lot more ifs, all proving, how
ever, that Bamberg is a better county
than Orangeburg. AS our taxable
property is so much smaller, it must
be superior business management.

Drives Three TILES With Eye in Hand.

OElNSS u" Se "SS wa ~ A-
Holding his right eye in the socket
after it had been gouged loose on a
harrow, with one hand, and with the
other driving two horses at a furious
pace, Martin Bauer, farmer, rode
three miles to Amityville today in a
wagon to obtain medical treatment
for his injury.
Bauer had his team near by when
he was working in a field, and when
he stumbled and fell on the harrow
his eyeball was torn in such a way
that only a tiny particle of flesh held
it in the socket. Bauer put his hand
to his eye and held it in place, be-
lieving that if he removed his hand
the slightest jarring would sever the
thread of flesh and cause the eye to
fall out. Then he climbed into his
wagon and urged his horses to their
highest speed.
First he stopped at his own home,
not far away, to telephone for a
physician. He found, however, he
could not operate the phone with
only one free hand and there was
no person at home to help him. He
jumped into the wagon again and
hurried to Amityville. There he re-
ceived medical treatment, but it is
probable he will lose the eye despite
his fortitude.

tees breast
Time passed. The ironmaster was In
prison condemned to die for the muir
der of his apprentice, and the bell was
hung high in the Church Of st. Mary's.
There one evening at the hour Of the
angelus it sent out a melody Of such
strength and sweetness that all who
heard 1T dropped on their knees. Not
only had its makers care and calcula-
tons produced a marvel, but the pre-
mature opening Of the stopcock had
not been any detriment.
But the man who had produced this
result was not permitted to hear the
melody. Within prison walls, through
which the sounds could not penetrate,
he lauguished, wondering II his efforts
had been effective, IL they had not
been rendered abortive by the ap-
prentice. Then when his tailers were
about to take him to the scaffold he
begged that he might be permitted to
hear the bell. His request was grant
ed, and his journey was lightened by
It's exquisite tones. The last sound he
heard before the executioner's ak fell
was vibrations sent from the work Of
his brain. And he knew that II Satan
had made him a murderer and connect
ed tragedy with the result Of his Ia
bors he had produced that which would
move mortals to devotion for centuries
to come.
That which occurred while the bell
maker was being conveyed to execu-
ton was continued. From that day In
the year 1886 never has criminal In
Breslau gone on his last journey to
explate his crime but st. Mary's bell
has tolled his deathknell.
