L|TTLEF|ELD GETS
HOME AFTER HAPPY
TOUR THRU HAWAII

Rockland, Me-, June 30.-Repre-
sentative Littlefield and family, who
were members of the Congressional
party visiting the Hawaiian Islands
by invitation of the Hawaii Legisla-
ture, arrived home Saturday. Mr..
Littlefield's attention was called to a
newspaper statement which treated
of his probable retirement from Con.
eress at the expiration of his present
term.
This is the first intimation I have
had of withdrawing. So far as | am
able to say now l shall be candidate
for reelection. The rumor of my re-
tirement is one that gets into the
press annually and with no author
ity from me-"
Mr.. Littlefield was delighted with
his Hawaiian trip. The visitors were
conducted through all the islands,
visiting some remote sections. His
attention was especially directed to
the need of river and harbor improve
inents in which the islands are now
very deficient. The Importance of
Notifications and a naval station was
also shown.
Although somewhat out of touch
with national politics as the result
Of his two months absence, Mr.. Lit
tlefield has not seen fit to alter the
opinion he expressed on the eve of
his departure, that there was fair
show that President Roosevelt might
be renominated. He thinks it alto
gether too early to prophesy, and
believes that it is not out of the
range of probabilities that the future
candidate has not yet been named.

BUDDY TOO YOUNG
SAYS PLEA,
TO Be RESPONSIBLE

The case of Buddy Edmunds, the
little son of II. W. S. Edmunds, who
is charged with maliciously burning
Il stack of riol straw belonging to
Tam Pong of Waikiki, came up be-
fore Judge Whitney this morning.
The defense interposed plea in bar
accompanied by affidavits showing
that the child was only six years of
age, and that he could consequently
under the law not be held respon-
eible. The prosecution had the case
continued in order to make an an
swer to this plea and file counter af-
fdavits, if possible.
The whole affair appears to be the
outgrowth of a neighborly feud, the
particular part of Waikiki in which
the parties live being infested with
such. A number of ducks and geese
belonging to Edmunds have been mys
teriously killed of late, and, on the
ether hand, Edmunds has furnished
information to the Federal authori-
ties which has led to the prosecution
of Tam Pong on charge of bigamy.
Edmunds claims that he is quite will
ing to fight the case, as he can show
that the boy is not guilty of the act
with which he is charged, and that,
furthermore, he wished to prosecute
the parties who have started the
prosecution against his child, for
conspiracy, but the authorities do not
feel inclined to have the case proceed
any further in case the claim that
the boy is not old enough to be held
in criminal action can
not be refuted.

The Orangeburg newspapers have
had a good deal to say about the
large railroad mileage of Bamberg
county, thereby creating the i'm
preston that most of our income was
derived from taxing the railroads.
We have taken the trouble to get the
official figures from the auditors Of
fee as to these matters, and we find
that Bamberg county has 81 and a
fraction miles of railroads, the as
sessed value of which is s675, 755. AS
the total taxable property of the
county is sss2, 729, 400, this does not
look like most of our money comes
out of the railroads. AS a matter
Of justice to Bamberg county we
think our Orangeburg friends should
publish these figures, giving Orange
burg's railroad mileage as we'll.

The capital stock for a cotton
warehouse could be raised in two
hours right herein town, if our busi-
ness men would subscribe in proper
ton to the benefits to be derived.
A cotton warehouse would be a great
thing for the town, and while we be-
1ieve our business men realize this
fact, they will not come down with
their money. The time will come,
if indeed it is not already here, when
the business interests of Bamberg
will demand warehouse and will
suffer proportionately if it is not
built. We know of no better way to
build up our cotton market than to
erect the warehouse. 1t will bring
cotton here which we have not been
getting, and the business of the town
will be correspondingly increased,
for more cotton brought here to sell
means more goods sold by our mer-
chants.

Other towns are growing and pros
pering. Is Bamberg doing as we'll
as it ought? If not, why not? That
is a question which should seriously
concern those who have most if not
all of their investments in the town
and community. Are we going to
keep up with the towns around us or
are we going to retrograde? Certain
it is that we cannot stand still. We
must either grow or 60 down. Our
people have the fate of the town
in their hands, and it rests entirely
with us as to what the future of
Bamberg shall be. 1t will be one of
growth or decay. The opportunities
are ours if we will only live up to
them.

Cutting Down Expenses.

In a logging camp near Hutton
Me-, a few years ago man by the
name of Peter Grimes was accidental
ly killed and his widow was left ir
rather poor circumstances.
Joseph Breed, a particular friend Of
the unfortunate man, being some
what of a carpenter, decided to make
Grimes's coffin and so cut down the
funeral expenses. He told the widow
of his intention and also of carving
the name and age of her late husband
on the lid, but was rather worried
when he found that the age was q
years. :,
81 am awful sorry, Miss Grimes, %
said Joe, ''but I never could cut fig
ure8."
"That's too bad," replied Mrs.
Grimes. then, as a happy thought
came to her, she asked him if he could
cut figure Z.
Yes can cut a first-rate figure
T."
"Well, then, why not cut four rs?
Everybody knows four rs are twenty
eight"
So the following day Joe completed
the coffin as she suggested.
The day of the funeral came and
the late Rev. T. S. Black, of Hutton,
was reading the service over the
body and had arrived at that part
where he was saying:
''Our dearly beloved brother, who
departed this life at the age off,
Here he glanced at the coffin lid
for reference, and his eyes lighting
on Joe's row of rs, he gave gasp
and, and with a startled look in his
eyes, exclaimed:
Good Lord, how did he ever miss
the fiood!"

Those young men in Bennettsville
paid pretty dearly for their fun. The
one who shot the monument was
fined S75, and the two who were con-
cerned in the difficulty with the news
paper correspondent who wrote up
the affair were fined S100 each.
Possibly this will learn them a lesson.
It is a very foolish thing for people
to threaten or try to bulldoze or
even fight to keep their names out
Of newspapers. When they do this
they might as we'll expect a great
deal more publicity. There is one
way you can keep your name out of
the papers in connection with actions
which do not reflect credit, and that
is to behave yourself. The man who
is not guilty of reprehensible actions
does not fear newspaper publicity.

WHY Penmen Get Tired.

The average person has no idea
how much muscular effort is expend-
ed in writing a letter. A rapid pen
man can write thirty words in a
minute. To do this, he must draw
his pen through the space of sixteen
and a half feet. In forty minutes his
pen travels a furlong, and in five
hours third of a mile. In writing
an average word, the penman makes
in the neighborhood of sixteen curves
of the pen. Thus in writing thirty
words to the minute, his pen would
make 480 curves; $4,000 curves in an
hour, and sc, 400, 900 in a year Of 800
days of ten hours each. The man
who succeeded in making one million
marks with pen in a month was not
at all remarkable.
