Interesting Letter.

Coming from st. lucic county with
its pineapple fields and orange groves.
going north through Georgia and Ten
neSsee, through acres upon acres of
corn and cotton, one cannot help notic-
ing the difference in the houses and pre-
sumably in the living of the East Coast
fruit growers and the cotton and corn
grower of the more northern states.
While well kept, roomy and even pre-
tentious houses are frequently seen
through the pineapple belt, such houses
are rarely seen in the cotton belt The
people who till these thousands Of acres
and help clothc the population Of the
world, live in tumble down shacks.
Rarely house is seen that looks as if
prosperity reignS within. Seeing the
men in the fields one cannot help recall
ing Milet's terrible picture, THE Man
With the Hoe" Surely these people
work sore and gain nothing, live mis-
cradle and know not why" This may
be considered a superficial observation,
Millet's hopeless, brutaIized, almost in
human imam with the hoe is an old
world peasant. Surely our American
farmer is far removed from such a
state. For answer we turn to statistics
and find the average yearly income of
the American farmer is S3lS. The
East Coast farmer may congratulate
himself upon being yet well above this
average, but do not forget our brother
farmer of the older states, The econ
omic forces evident in the tumble down
shacks of the cotton growers are at
work wherever capitalism and monopoly
reign.
Everywhere are seen the cotton spin
neres the hope of the new south
newly erected brick buildings with nu-
merous windows and ever belchng
smoke stacks and rows upon rows Of
neat little cottages exactly alike. Here
at least is evidence OF the benevolent
activity of the capitalist. The incen-
tive of profits has here awakened the
South, and given employ
ment to thousands Of 'hands. y Again
we turn to statistics and the words
burn themselves into ones heart. In
the cotton mills Of the South work o.
boo women and children The average
life of each child after it enters the
mills is four years. Child labor is that
crime of the capitalist system which
has awakened the protest OF all reform
,rs from President Roosevelt down to
the yellow press writer. Why is moth
mo- done? Why must those who do the
york of the world, who raise the cotton
md make it into cloth, live in misery
md want? Why must they do without
III that which makes lie more than Il
mere animal existence? why must the

Visit of DR.. Wolling.

Rev. J. W. Wolling, DID,, who has
just returned, after twenty years OF SER
vice in Brazil as a missionary OF the
Methodist church, spent several days in
Bamberg last week on visit to his son,
Meredith, a student in our Fitting School
1t was the good fortune of the Metho-
dist congregation to have DR.. Wolling
fill their pulpit both morning and even
ing. In fact, he was in service nearly all
day, for he delighted the Sunday-school
children with talk in the afternoon.
DR.. Wolling made a deep impression on
all who heard him. His message OF ten
derness and love at the morning hour
deeply impressed his hearers. At the
evening hour still larger congregation
heard, with close attention, his plea for
missions and his account of the progress
of the work in Brazil.
Bamberg Methodists were delighted
With DR.. Wolling, and we hope to have
him again.

Frank Dixon Saturday Night.

The people of Bamberg should count
themselves indeed fortunate in having
Frank Dixon to lecture before them. he
comes as the third number on the lyceum
course
To those who have an acquaintance
with the best speakers on the American
platform today Mr.. Dixon is we'll known.
He is undoubtedly one of the best speak
ers of today, and everyone in Bamberg
should hear him. He lectures upon the
following subjects: The Man Against
the Mass, The Mossback, The Coming
American, and The Citizen King. He
will probably use "The Man Against the
Mass" as the subject of his lecture here.
On account of its being Saturday night,
the lecture will not begin until 9 o'clock.
Let no one fail to hear Mr.. Dixon.
Those who haven't season tickets may
purchase tickets at the usual place.

The circumstances were as follows:
Thompson was In public house In the
village, when a woman with child. &C
companied by two men, came in.
In the course of conversation the wo-
man remarked that she wished some one
would take the child. Thompson offered
her 75 cents, and the money was promptly
paid over and the child given to Thomp-
son.
He proceeded to his home. but when he
asked his wife to sign a paper agreeing TO
take over the child, she refused, and the
woman was thereupon given her child and
told to depart. She did so, but when
Thompson saw the child disappear he
darted out of the back door and gave the
woman another % cents, and she parted
with the child finally to Thompson.
The men and woman then left the neigh
borhood, and nothing has been heard OF
them since. Thompson still has the child.
which is a little girl, with curly golden
hair, and about two years of age and she
is being better looked after by Thomp-
sons wife and mother than by the callous
woman who sold her. Efforts are now
being made to get the child into home,
as Thompson's mother states that they
are unable to keep it.

BERLIN. Jan. 5.

BERLIN, Jan. 8.
Three brothers named VIII were yester-
day sentenced to long terms OF imprisor-
ment In Bavaria for impersonating the
Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the
throne OF Austr!a-Hungary. his deceased
brother. the Crown Prince Rudolf, and
a fictitious Austrian nobleman named
Count Won Barnum.
In much the same manner as the cap
tain" at koepenick demonstrated tho pow
er OF uniform, SO this trio invoked the
magic OF titles IN Germany. with such
brilliant success that they swinded vari-
Gus persons out of sums aggregating.thou-
sands OF pounds. Their greatest coup,
however. followed their arrest
Tried to Bride Jailer.
One of the brothers, whom the police
failed to capture, set to work to convince
the chief warden Of the jail that the pris
oners were not named Will. but were
really the Austrian Crown Prince and his
brother. the Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
III he would release the two "archdukes''
the 1ailer was promised reward of $751;
800 on the third day after they were at
liberty, $4,000 a year later and a per-
manent residence in one Of the Crown
Princes Austrian castles. The Kullible
1aiier assented to the proposal, and re-
leased the prisoners. He has been given
two years imprisonment for the accept
ance Of brides.
One OF the documents Introduced In
evidence against the swindlers was a flc-
titious last will and testament OF the
imperial heir to the throne of Austria
Hungary which the bogus Crown Prince
filled in and countersigned with the
Great House Seal OF the Hapsburgs :
This document had been given to GER
tain Herr and Frau Schwalb, who kept
a boarding house at Ludwlgshafen, where
the make-believe royalties established
their base OF operations. They told the
old German couple that they had been
banished from Austria fifteen years ago
on account of dueling, and were unable
to return until 1907. One of their first
achievements was to borrow their land
lords savings bank deposit, amounting to
5000.
The Schwalbs' faith In the august iden-
tity OF their boarders became so thor
ough that they proceeded to induce their
relatives and friends to turn over their
savings, explaining that the gratitude of
the exiled ''archdukes could be relied
upon to make their benefactors rich be-
yond the dreams of avarice. One old
woman parted with her savings OF a
lifetime. amounting to $3.50. on the Crown
Princes promissory note, secured by deed
upon some hidden piles of gold.
The meshes of the law finally closed
upon the brothers in August, when they
were convicted and imprisoned. but on
the night of October Ii they were re-
leased through the collision of the yenai
Jail warden. They remained at liberty,
however, only for few weeks
