OF DEATH
PICTURE OF YEAR
At ACADEMY
THRILLING SUBJECT CAUSES
GREAT DISCUSSION IN LONDON
CiRClES-YCuNG MAN is TOLD
HE HAS CERTAIN TIME TO LIVE.

LONDON, May 2s.-The picture of
the year at the Royal Academy is UNI
doubtedly the Hon. John Golfers
Sentence OF Death" The painter is
son OF Lord Monkswell This paint.
ing has, at any rate, excited more in-
terest and caused more discussion
than any other painting in the show.
IL depicts u doctors consulting room
at the moment when the physician has
Just told young and apparently
healthy man that he must die within
a certain time.
As picture. It is quite ordinary
But the idea behind it has started two
lively discussions, TO wit What is
the disease the patient is going to die
OFF, and Should doctor tell pa
ltient that his death is near?"
In explaining his picture the artist
said he had imagined the doctor tell.
Ing his patient that he was suffering
from terrible disease and that he had
three months TO live. What that dis
ease was he left 70 the imagination Of
tho public. Medical men who have ex.
amined the picture have been unable
TO diagnose any specific malady from
the appearance OF the patient: beyond
natural pallor produced by the sen.
tence OF death he seems quite
healthy.
Visitors to the Academy every day
surround the picture, discussing the
problem. In the speculation as to the
fatal disease most people guess at con-
sumption, while others vote for can
Ger, paralysis or Bright's disease.
Curiously enough, the idea OF the
picture is not Mr. Golfers own. II
was suggested TO him by an elderly
pauper, who wrote to him from the
poorhouse TO suggest the medical
death sentence as good idea for a
picture. knowing that Mr.. Golfers spe-
cialty was dramatic scenes OF modern
life
After corresponding with the man,
and consulting a medical friend, Mr..
Collier adopted the idea and began
work on the picture. AS reward
for his idea, the artist took the pau
per, who was an invalid. from the poor
house and had him received into a
hospital.
Both the doctor and the patient In
the picture were painted from friends
of the artist. but the former Is not a
medical man and the latter Is quite
healthy.
II chose him as a model" says Mr..
Collier. because his features seemed
strangely appropriate to my subject.
The ethics of the medical death
sentence are being discussed in the
medical world and the newspapers
apropos OF this picture. One cores
pendent writes: The incident Is In
no wise fiimsy phantom OF an artists
imagination. Almost every day these
sentences of death are pronounced.
Nov. is a physician acting rightly
in pronouncing these sentences
Should he not by subterfuge hide the
truth from the victim? The sting OF
death lies not In the actual passing
way. Think of the agonies to be Ell.
dured by the man or woman who
knows that within a specified time--a
year. month, a week--he or she must
die In that frame Of mind. induced
by such knowledge, what might a man
not do?"

The Election in South Carolina.

Tuesdays election in South Caro-
lima was not different from preceding
ones, although we believe the final
returns will show that a much larger
number of Democrats voted than
usual. In Bsmberg county larger
number of votes were polled, our peo-
pie seeming to be more interested in
the general election. In this city
242 votes were polled for Congress-
man Patterson and Bryan, and six for
Taft. At Denmark there were 18O
Democratic votes and sixteen Repub-
lican. At Olar nearly 100 votes were
cast, all Democratic. Some negroes
here and at Olar voted for Bryan.
The vote in the State gave about
fifty thousand majority for Bryan.
In Lexington county A. D. Martin
was elected county superintendent OF
education over two opponents, his
majority being large. The Independ-
ent candidates for county supervisor
in Richland and Lee counties were
defeated
Three counties voted on the liquor
question, and in all there were big
majorities against the sale of liquor.
In Laurens the vote was more than
two to one against sale; in Chester
the majority against sale was even
greater, and in Clarendon the major
ity against sale will also be very
large.

The Civic League.

The Civic League of Bamberg bids
fair to do some great things for the
town in the way of improving un-
comely places, making suggestions to
the city fathers as to some needed
changes in the appearance OF the
town, etc.
1t is said that in a certain town in
South Carolina the ladies became so
imbued with the idea of cleanliness
and beauty that they did not stop at
cleaning up the public places, but
went so far as to invade certain
old bachelors den and gave 1t such
an overhauling and general shake
up that the gentlemen of leisurely
manners and inclination did not
know upon his return home but that
some one had superseded him as a
tenant However, he did not raise
any great objections, and the ladies
felt that they were doing a great
work, so every one was content.
In another town the ladies of the
Civic League Association got right
in behind the merchants, and by ap-
pealing to their sense of the beahtl-
full, they succeeded in having all the
sign boards on the principal business
street removed. Another league had
all merchants to have signs made
alike, and thus added considerably
to the appearance of what is usually
an unsightly scene.
It is not definitely known just what
line of work the ladies of Bamberg
will pursue, but it goes without say
ing that there is plenty of work to be
done. It is hoped that within the
next few months the Bamberg league
will have a great deal to show for
their work. They now have a small
working cash basis, and when their
plans have been fully developed some
fruits may be looked for. In the
spring of this year one of the lead
ing daily papers Of South Carolina
endeavered through its correspon-
dents to have a series of articles
from each town in the State, which
articles were to point out the work
of the various Civic Leagues in South
Carolina. Perhaps it was fortunate
for Bamberg that there were not
enough towns in the State to make
the articles worth while, for at that
time Bamberg was without an organ
ization, and what was worse, Bam-
Der had little in the way of public
improvements to brag on. But it is
believed that by next spring this
town will be on the live list, and
should call be made for evidence
of improvement, Bamberg's Civic
League will be in the forefront with
much to the credit of league and
town.

Crazed by Sons Sentence.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 31-Crazed by
the sentence of her son to five years
in the penitentiary for burglary, Mrs.
Annie L. Hamilton was found by the
police lying in Hunter street, near
Butler, after having wandered the
streets all night. Yesterday her son,
Charles Hamilton, was given 5 years
by Judge Roam who ignored the re-
commentator Of the jury to treat
his offense as misdemeanor. That
her sons predicament was proving a
great strain upon her was shown
when she tainted in the court room
during the trial.
Mrs. Hamilton was taken to the po-
lice station and turned over to the
care OF the matron by whom she was
given every attention. She is suffer-
ing from a hallucination and her
cries for her son, whom she imagines
is lost, are heartrending. In addition
to having her mind affected, Mrs.
Hamilton is suffering from the aim
less wandering all night through the
streets.

Election Returns.

The Bamberg Herald office was a
popular place Tuesday night for a
few hours, many citizens of the city
being on hand to hear the election
returns. The bulletin service of the
Southern Bell Telephone and Tele-
graph Company was excellent, and
we take this occasion to publicly
thank the local manager, Mr.. F. F.
Shores, for his hard work and untir-
ing efforts to give us the news. He
went up to Denmark, where the bull
letins came in by wire, and repeated
them to Bamberg as we'll as a num-
Der of other towns in this territory.
About ten o'clock the bulletins in
dicated beyond a. doubt that Taft
had carried New York State, and as
the bulletins kept coming In they
showed Republican successes in
States thought to be doubtful. BY
eleven o'clock it seemed certain that
Taft was certainly elected, although
small number stayed with us until
one o'clock.

Others Had Egret Feathers.

Warrants were issued for the Jas.
L. Tapp company and Mr.. w. H.
Monckto, manager of the Globe Dry
Goods Co., on the charge of violating
the law for the protection of non
game fowls. The cases were called
before Magistrate Fowles. The de-
PENDANTS pleaded guilty and each was
fined 81.
This is the second step in crusade
which Secretary Rice of the Audubon
society is instituting for the protec-
tion of all non-game birds, Mr.. A..
G. Douglas having been fined an iden-
tical sum some two weeks ago. ..
This proves that Columbia mer-
chants keep the real article and not
something just as good when they
handle fnery for the women Of South
Carolina. Mr.. Rice's object is not to
embarrass merchants but to make
people aware of the law.-Columbia

which are know as the standard OF

also put in line of Florsheim shoes

of the very best high grade shoes
on the market to-day, and men who
want to- be we'll dressed will appre-

addition to their strong line of ready
made clothing, they represent the
