Some fellow on the street one

preston that he would be will
ing to bet one hundred dollars
on Stubs securing the Office of
governor of Kansas. Of course
YOU understand that a bet is not
always a good opinion neither
does it convey the substance of
real good Judgment. It's our
opinion that man in this part
of the state would have to be in
fluence by the odds of a wager
before he could support Stubs
for governor. Stubs is one of
the hindrances that barred
Seward county from her just
and representative right and he
deserves no support from a
people who have offered them
selves to become a victim of his
work for the benefit of his own
neigh bors.-Liberal News.

Fitting School Notes.

Tennis games are still being enjoy
ed between the students and teachers,
as we'll as by the visiting players.
Prof. J. C.. Guilds spent the week
end at Barnwell.
We have had several visitors at the
school lately and ask them to come
back with others. We are always
glad to have them visit us and see
what we are doing.
Cadet Rhett H. OFT spent the week
end at home with Cadet G. E. Tongue
in Barnwell.
Mr.. NJ. W. Brabham paid the Kill
90 Literary Society a visit Saturday
night. Owing to the grip and colds
among the students the program
was not as good as it should have
been. But Mr.. Brabham's presence
was very much enjoyed. 1tmade us
feel like that there are some men IN
Bamberg that cared and felt an IN
terest in the work we are doing. He
also made US a talk, in which he stat
ed that it had been about seven years
since he had been to the K. L. S:
His talk was not a fowery speech OF
oratory with blooming remarks, but
he told the members some true facts
and gave them some good sound ad-
vice, which Wasvery much appreciat-
ed. We are always glad to have the
old ,,oornhors coll IN us at anv time.

Knights Of Pythias.

A regular meeting of Bamberg
lodge, Knights of Pythias, was held
last Monday evening. The report Of
the auditing committee showed a
balance in the treasury of 1888. rs,
which shows that the lodge is in fine
shape. Some Of this, however, will
be spent in the next few weeks for
new regalia, in fact the regalia has
been ordered.
Chancellor Commander Fowler has
started off well. The rank of Page
was conferred upon two candidates
Monday evening, and three more ap-
plications are now in hands of COM
mktees. The outlook for this year
is very bright, and if the officers will
support the Chancellor Commander
as they should, this will be the great
est year i'll Pythian circles that the
town has ever known.
The lodge will hereafter be opened
promptly at seven O'Clock, which is
the regular hour for meeting, so the
members will please be prompt.

Biggest Clock In the World.

Whenthe tower of the Metropolitan
Life building in Madison Square is
completed, New York will have what
undoubtedly will be the largest clock
in the. world. That distinction has
belonged for many years to Big
Ben" in Westminster Abbey, Lon
don, the dial of which is twenty-five
and one-half feet in diameter, while
that of the Metropolitan building
clock will be twenty-five.
It will be a clock suitable in every
way to be a part of the tallest per-
manent structure in the world, as
the new tower will be. The tower
will be forty-eight stories, 638 feet
above the street, and the clock will
occupy a part of the twenty-ffth,
twenty-sixth, and twenty-seventh
floors. The middle of the dial will be
346 feet above the street.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
dial will be q little mere than half
way between the street and the top
of the tower, it will be far above the
surrounding buildings. It will be
fifty feet higher than the Flatiron
building. -,
The immense size Of the clock will
make it easy to tell the time from a
great distance. The letters on the
dial will be four feet high, and the
hands will be twelve feet long,

Day Electric Current.

Bamberg will have a day electric
current, and it will be put on in the
next few months, in plenty time for
The approaching warm weather. The
guarantee required of the citizens
has been practically made up. and the
day current is a certainty. The Bam-
berg Herald expects to be one of the
largest consumers of day power, as
we will run all our presses by elec-
tricity when we get in the new build
ing. Now is the time to have your
house wired, for you will want fans
during the hot weather. 1t is also
expected that current will be used by
a number of people for cooking.

The mass meeting, to consider
ways and means to raise the balance
of the money necessary to rebuild
the Bamberg graded school building,
was held in the court house last Mon
day afternoon. It was found after
consultation that q meeting Of the
taxpayers Of the district could be
held now instead of in June to fix
the levy for nextfyear, and this will
be done. The meeting will be held
in the court house Monday afternoon,
February 10th, and the notice will be
found in another column. Those
present at the mass meeting seemed
to favor this plan of raising the mon
ey instead of asking our representa-
tives in the legislature to have q
special act passed.

Iiemstreet the Hypnotist a Marvel

hemSCfeet the HyPnOtiSt q HAahVea'
The biggest laugh Macon has let
loose for q long time was heard at
the opera house last night when four
hundred people roared at the hypnot-
ic performance of Prof. Hemstreet.
he had a number of our best citizens
on the stage and had them thorough
" hypnotized, and the funny things
he had them do were convulsing to
the audience. It is impossible to
particularize, sufficient it is to say,
that it was as funny as dozen COM
edians with a circus thrown in. Many
who saw the demonstration last night
laughed SO much they are almost
sick today. The time has gone by
when intelligent people cry fake over
such power as he possesses and his
entertainment affords pleasing va
ration from the general run OF
theatrical performances and one can
attend them and enjoy ahearty laugh.
The Professor will give his last per-
folmance tonight and those who
were not present last night should
not miss a wonderful exhibition as
some Of our best people hayo prom
ised, to be hypnotized and the audi
ence is sure to get its moneys worth.
Macon, Ca. Times:
Prof. Hemstreet will be at the Bam-
berg opera house Wednesday night,
February 5th, and two ladies or one
lady and one gentleman will be ad-
mitted on one paid ticket if at the
opera house before 8:15 p. m. Ad-
