Foolish Resolutions.

The annual convention Of the Far
mer's Union of South Carolina was
held in Columbia last week, at which
number of prominent men were
present. A resolution was adopted
calling upon the legislature to abol-
ish the immigration bureau. A res
oluution was also adopted asking for
the sale of the State farms and that
guano factory be established to
furnish guano to the farmers at a ten
per cent. net profit to the State, the
factory to be operated by the convicts
of the penitentiary. The Union also
wants the lien law repealed, and a
resolution was passed to demand of
all legislative candidates an express
sion on the repeal of the measure,
the body demanding the repeal of the
lien law and crop mortgage law.

Office Holders.

Washington, July 27.-The official
roster of the government contains
the names Of 305,141 sofice holders
under the federal government, of
which 2S,947 are located in New
York. Maryland, small as she is, has
2,191 appointments. Pennsylvania
has 1928 employees. Ohio follows
with 1877 officers, Massachusetts,,
next on the list, has 742 men and
women who hold down government
jobs. There is credited to the Dis
trict of Columbia 1851 Office holders,
who receive $7,196,324. Of course,
but a comparatively small portion of
these are bona fide residents of
the capital, because when senator
or a member of congress has exhaust
ed his quota, he proceeds to charge
up the additional appointments to
the District Of Columbia.

Our citizens could help material.

: Our citizens could help materially
in keeping the city clean If they
would, and they owe it to the town
to cooperate with the authorities to
this end. Don't sweep paper and all
sorts of trash out in the streets, but
put it in barrel or box and the town
carts will haul it off. Every morning
the street hands have to spend sew
eral hours raking up the trash on
Main street when it could be cleaned
up in a short time if the trash was
put in barrels or boxes. A filthy
street looks bad and creates a bad
impression on visitors and strangers,
SO do your part toward keeping the
street clean,

Restrictions Removed.

Muskogee, o. T., July 27.-At mid
night last night the law removing
the government restrictions on nine
million acres of Indian lands in Eas-
tern Oklahoma, went into effect.
Everyone is striving to get the hrst
chance at the property. The removal
means that 100000 of the 20,000,-
900 acres of Indian land in 40 coun-
ties of Eastern Oklahoma, which was
formerly Indian territory, becomes
salable.
For a month agents of real estate
companies have been rounding up
the Indian and negro allottees. One
buyer has been entertaining a num-
ber of Indians and negroes here for
three days, providing them with ev-
erything they desired, the only condi-
tions imposed being that they do not
leave their rooms nor allow any one
to enter.

The city council of Orangeburg
has passed an ordinance requiring
that all dogs which run at large on
the streets be muzzled, and the ordi-
nance went into effect last week.
Bamberg ought to have such an ordl-
nance. One of these days somebody
is going to be bitten by a mad dog
here. and then it will be too late to
pass the ordinance. Why not "do it
now?''

One of our prominent business

One of our prominent business
men was discussing the cotton ware
house project with us few days ago.
He is very anxious to see the ware
house built, and will help with his
time, influence, and money, but few
men can't carry the whole load. If
warehouse is to be built here, every
merchant and business man whom
it will benefit must help. We hope
to report soon that the work of Sc
curing subscriptions to the capital
stock has commenced. We need and
must have the warehouse. It will
benefit every interest of the town.

a desperate struggle, lasting ten min
utes, Mrs. Mary E. Forrestor, who
weighs less than one hundred pounds,
choked to death powerful dog be-
lieved to be rabid, which attacked
her at her home in Buntyan avenue.
The dog, sixty pound shepherd,
standing two feet high, attacked her
after he. had bitten Miss Otter,
neighbor. Mrs. Forrestor turned up
on the dog as he seized the hem OF
her skirt, and grasping him under
the head closed her fingers tightly
about his neck. All over the porch
the woman and the dog fought, the
animal several times nearly dragging
his captor from the porch. Finally,
as she was nearly exhausted the dogs
struggles ceased and Mrs. Forrestor
did not relax her grip until he col
lapsed.

Thrown IN RIVER.
Girl Left to Drown After Being Ill
Treated.

New York, July 27.-The police
of south Brooklyn and Central Office
detectives to-day sought two men
who abducted 18-year-old Amelia
Stechel, of No. 665 Sixty-f1fth street.
carried her off in a row boat and then
threw her into the bay to drown.
The girl was found unconscious,
clinging to a rope side of pile driv-
er anchored about 100 feet OF Fiji
tieth street.
The girl, when she recovered con-
sciousness, said she had been in the
water nine hours.
Her hands clutched the rope so
convulsively that they could not be
loosened, so the rope was cut on
and the rope and girl were taken TO
the Norwegian hospital, where her
grip was finally released, but not un-
til after she had been restored to
consciousness.
According to the young woman,
she was seized at lonely spot IN
Bay Ridge by two men, gagged, car
ried out into the bay in a row boat
and there ill-treated and then flung
over board, She swan for the shore,
but was exhausted by the time she
reached the pile-driver, and had just
enough strength left to grasp rope
after which she became unconscious
and remembered nothing more until
she woke up in the hospital.
The precinct police said there were
evidences that her story was true,
and a number of detectives were at
once put on the case.
At z a. m. yesterday, according to
Henry Houghton, a night watchman
at the Bush Terminal company s
docks, he saw the girl clinging to the
rope and rowed out to her. He found
her unconscious. Houghton notified
the police and called an ambulance.

Some Southern people are finding
fault with Bryan on account of his
attitude on the negro question, but
that sort of talk is all foolishness.
We have no idea that Mr.. Bryan
sympathizes with or understand
Southern sentiment and ideals, in
fact the Western people have al
ways seemed more bigoted on this
question than the East, but Bry-
an is a long ways better than
Taft, and we'll warrant there will
be no negro Office holders in the
South If Bryan is elected president.

Elephantiasis in Pennsylvania.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 24.-Anna

Keesport, is dying Of elephantiasis,
rare disease seldom encountered
in other countries than India or Al
rica.
From a woman of 165 pounds, Mrs.
Lynch's weight has increased until
she now weighs SO pounds, and each
day she is becoming heavier. The
calf of her leg measures sc inches,
while the right measure Is IS inches.
The skin all over her body is thick
and tough and lays in folds like the
skin of an elephant. Physicians be-
lieve she was inoculated by some
insect.

Fire at Rock Hill.

Rock Hill, July 22.-At 4:30
o'clock this morning Rock Hill was
visited by another fire. This time the
blaze was in the Ratterree building
on the corner of Main street and
Railroad avenue. The principal dam
age was to the furniture store of Mr..
J. L. Byrd on the ground floor. Ap-
pearances indicate that the fire origi-
mated in this store and the loss there
in is practically complete. The upper
floor is occupied by the Commercial
club, Spencer & Dunlap, attorneys,
the Rock Hill School Of Telegraphy
and rooms used by the Carolina ho-
tel.
There was a fire in the building
last October and the Commercial club
had just refurnished and re1tted
their rooms quite handsomely. The
losses are estimated, approximately
at the following:
]. L. Bird & Co., $4,000, with two
thirds covered; Edward Belton, bar
Der, $500, covered; J. Edgar Poag,
real estate agency, covered; the Com
mercial club, $500, covered; Spencer
& Dunlap, small loss and covered;
Pride Ratterree, damage to building
$4,000, covered.
The loss of other occupants can
not as yet be estimated, but it is prob
able that it is small.
Mr.. Ratterree is having hard luck
Monday morning he lost his barn
with its contents.
The fire department did good work
this morning in confining the actual
blaze to very small area.

Dispensary Situation.

1t now seems probable that no de-
cision in the South Carolina dispen-
sary cases may be expected of the
United States circuit court of appeals
until the courts next term, early in
the fall. The court held sitting at
Asheville recently, but nothing affect
ing theese cases was given out.
Pending the rendition of the
courts opinions, there is nothing do
ing in the dispensary matters.
The old dispensary building and
lot, which are not involved in the
litigation, have not been sold by the
commission and it is not likely that
any bid will be got at the upset price
fixed by the legislature, which is $75,-
900. That sum is considered to be
somewhat in excess of the worth OF
the property, though it is conceded
that the site is very valuable for
wholesale or manufacturing pur-
poses.
Just now there is nothing especial
ly for the commission to do. All the
stock has been disposed of and the
bulk of the claims has been adjudi-
Gated, but the two vacancies on the
commission remain untitled and Gov.
Ansel has given no intimation of any
intention to fill them.
1t will be recalled that two mem
bers of the commission, Messrs. B.
F. Arthur and C. K. Henderson, re-
signed their places, when they were
asked by Judge Pritchard to become
dispensary receivers, and Governor
Ansel accepted these designations
Immediately. Their places on the
commission are those which are yet
vacant.
