THE CHURCH.

The people need to understand that the most important ins titu tion in any com munity is the church. With out the public sentiment it creates, all else would be nearly valuless. Sheriffs, Judges and courts would be powerless. There would be no such thing as schools, fraternal orders, tenn perance societies, orphanages, etc.. All that is worth while in our civilization was made possi- ble through the teachings of the church. Looking at it from this standpoint, patriotic man, one who desires the good of his country, will be willing to support the church. He may not be a member of the church,
 or a religious man, yet as a patriotic citizen, he will support the church, for he sees in it the one source of our greatness, the maker and the maintainer of our civilization. He don't consider the support of the church a mere giving of something to the preacher, any more than the paving of our taxes to our officers of the law. T. D. SCOTT.

Roads For Automobilists.

It appears to have occurred to many
that separate roads for automobiles to
travel over is the solution tf the great
problem caused by reckless motorists.
The question is one which is now re-
ceiving a good deal Of attention, and
numerous projects for the establish
ment Of motor speedways have been
projected or talked about. says Good
Roads Magazine. The emperor OF Ger
many. who is an enthusiastic automo-
bilist, has taken up the question and
as an experiment Is having two roads
built through his estates. These road
ways are twenty-three miles long and
thirty-six feet broad and are construct
ed with cement. They are used e1clu-
sively by automobiles! and are intended
as an experiment. The success or fall
ure of this experiment will be noted
with much, interest in the United
States.

and himself to the neighboring town
with less expenditure Of time, wear
and tear and trouble. In sections OF
the country where the farmer has good
roads he would not lose them for more
than their cost and 60 back to the old
system Of having to haul through the
mud and over the stones. He finds
that the, value Of his property is in
creased, and be can haul two-yes,
three-times greater load in less time
to market and that he Is richer and
better because Of the good road which
connects his property with the neigh
boring town.
This cost of hauling is heavy tax
on the farmers, much Of which could
be saved. The amount paid out which
could be avoided by good roads is ab'
solutely lost. The farmers are unable
to recover it in any way. 1t is par1
of their expense which they must de-
duct from the gross returns on the sale
Of their products, and the only way
that it can be avoided is by the con
struction Of roads that would enable
farmers to haul heavier loads in less
time.
Narrow tires and mud roads should
speedily be sent hand in band, as II
were, "glimmering through the dream
Of things that WERE"

Hoke Smith Defeated.

Something broke loose over in
Georgia last Thursday. This was
the day of the primary election, and
great interest centered around the
race for governor between Hoke
Smith, the present incumbent, and
Joseph NJ. Brown. Mr.. Brown was
formerly railroad commissioner, but
was removed by Smith about year
sor more ago, in fact soon after Smith
was inaugurated as governor. Mr.
Brown won by about $4,000 major
ity, which was great surprise, as
it seemed to be the general opinion
that Smith would be given a second
term. It was one of the hottest cam
paigns in the history of the State, al
though Brown made no speeches 1t
seems plain from this distance that
the corporations and liquor men
elected Brown with their money.
The railroads were especially hostile
to Smith.

Many Affected by Hydrophobia.

columbia, S. c., June 6.-Dr. j.
e. Heise to-day shot a. milch COW
belonging to George Shelley. which
had well developed and unmistak-
able case of hydrophobia or rab-
les. The symptoms developed sew
eral days ago but the family used
the milk up to last night. DR..
fIeise says no harm will come of
this, the principal danger being from
the saliva.
George J. Howell, of Shandon, a
suburb, is at the Pasteur institute
in Baltimore, undergoing treatment
for bites, which in common with five
others, he received Thursday evening
from a pet dog. The Pasteur people
say the dog undoubtedly had rabies,
None of the other parties bitten is
yet ready, though, to go on for the
Pasteur treatment. For the present
they will rely upon a secret treat
ment which a lady living near Co
iumbia claims to have had unvarying
success with for years.. 1t consists
Of taking certain kind of pills. One
of those bitten was Miss Corrye Will
liams, of Spartanburg, who was a
guest in the Howell home while en-
route to Spartanburg from Leesville
college. She is now in Spartanburg.

LINGERIE BURNED.
Trunks of College Girls Burned at
Rock Hill.

Rock Hill, June 3.-Last night
about 12:45 o'clock fire broke out
in a Southern railway baggage car
in which were about 100 TRUNKS
and a number of valises belonging
to departing Winthrop college girls.
While the car was being loaded
a lamp exploded and in a moment
or two the inside of the car was in
flames. The fire department re-
sponded to an alarm and the tlre
was finally got under control, but
not until much damage had been
done, both to the baggage and the
car.
The contents of the trunks and
valises which were inside the car
are practically ruined. The dam
ages will aggregate about $4,000.
The roof of the car was almost en-
tirely consumed and the loss on
the car will probably reach $4,000.
The railway company is liable for
damages to the amount of S100 on
each trunk.

COUNTRY HIGHWAYS.
Value of Good Roads and Cost
of Poor Ones.
WHAT THE FARMER LOSES.

No Tax So Great as Unimproved
Highways, Which Drive People to
tho City, Wear Out the Horses and
Decrease Value of Property.
In an address on the improvement
Of country highways at good roads
convention a speaker said:
The improvement Of country roads Is
chiefly an economical question, relat-
ing principally to the waste of effort
in hauling over bad roads, the saving
in money, time and energy in hauling
over good ones, the initial cost Of i'm
proving roads and the difference in the
cost of maintaining good and bad
ones.
A good road economies time and
force in transportation between the
farms and the market, reduces wear
on horses, harness and vehicles, in
creases the value Of real estate con-
tiguous to the roads and brings prices
for farm products, because they can
be marketed at less expense. Rural
homes are sought after along good
roads. Wagon highways are the great
est arteries Of commerce. Civilization
is judged by the condition Of the roads.
No tax is as great on the taxpayer as
bad roads. A bad road is heavy tax
on those who use it. and the worse the
road the heavier the tax. Bad roads
cause a decay of agriculture. They
impose the greatest Of all burdens on
the farmer The roads cause people
to gather in the cities. Bad roads
wear out the horses very rapidly, thus
detracting very largely from the prof
it's Of the farm.
The man with the hoe-the farmer
wants good roads so that he may bring
his produce to market and his family

volver upon himself.

Mr.. H. O. Ellis, of Allendale, S.

morning on his way to Waynesville,
N. c., where he intended to spend
some time, was taken Friday night
about 10 o'clock at the Argyle hotel
with a hemorrhage of the lungs, and
had there been any delay in getting
a physician the attack might have
been fatal in a few minutes. DR..
Dorsey was called in and under his

A Newspaper Success.

Once while discussing the subject
of colossal fortunes philosopher
was asked for his definition of
rich man. His reply was "a man
who has as much money as he
wants." The same wide latitude
might be allowed in seeking def
milton of the word success. When
we refer to successful man? our
thoughts naturally revert to a man
WHO has accumulated great fortune;
we picture in our mind some man
who is at the head of a great rail-
way system or there comes up before
us the vision of a man directing the
affairs of a great manufacturing or
mercantile establishment, with thous-
eoIoJ qua o. SuIpusq etdosd 10 spup
of his will and mind. But 1t is here
that we misinterpret the meaning OF
the word success" Success means
the favorable or prosperous termina-
ton of anything attempted-the at
tainment of proposed object. Thus
the artisan who attains perfection In
his profession or the farmer who
brings his lands up to the maximum
of their productive capacity is sue
cess. The obscure teacher who con-
ducts a prosperous and f1ourishing
rural school is as much Of success
as the head master of some great in
stitution of learning. We are not OF
those who wait to strew flowers on
the graves of the departed, but pre-
fer to scatter them at the feet Of the
living, and we are led to make these
reflections by recent visit we made
to the Office of Brother A. w. Knight,
of the Bamberg Herald. Editor
knight is in every sense success as
the publisher of weekly newspaper.
In the mechanical equipment of his
office he has set standard that few
publishers, whether large or small,
ever attain and none surpass because
in point of design and excellence it
is the paragon of perfection. He has
just installed linotype of the very
latest design and every press in his
Office is driven /by an individual elec-
trio motor. He adheres with scrupu-
lous strictness to the time honored
rule of having a place for every
thing and keeping everything In its
place." The interior of his Office is

may handle any article in the estab-
lishment with white kid gloves and
not defile them-a statement that to
most publishers will seem incredible,
but which is, nevertheless true. To
complete the sum total of his success
Editor knight has just built and
moved into his own office building
which in point of beauty and design
is the handsomest structure in his
town. It was on The Bamberg Herald
that the editor of this paper began
his newspaper career and we feel not
only a pardonable pride in the pros
perity of our old alma mater of
journalism, but rejoice with Brother
knight in the heyday of his success.
1t has been a great change from The
Herald's old hand presses of IL years
ago to it's electrically driven machines
of to-day and If the story Of the
transformation were told in detail 1t
would no doubt read like a page
from the ARABIAN Nights" Editor
knight has made good;" as the pub
Usher of a weekly newspaper The has
attained the full measure of success,
and the standard he has set for his
contemporaries is high-very high.

The following clipping is from
the National Rip Saw, and is pub
lished by request of friend OF
ours:
Wishing to get a living without
hard work, / have leased commod-
ious rooms in Mr.. Lovemoneys
block, corner of Ruin Street and
Perdition Lane (next door to the
undertaker,) where shall continue
my business of manufacturing drunk
ards, paupers, lunatics, beggars,
criminals, and dead BEATS" for
sober and Industrious people to
support. :,
Backed up by the law, shall add
to the number Of fatal accidents, OF
| diseases, of disgraceful quarrels,
of riots, and of murders; my liquors
are warranted to rob some of life;
many of reason; most of property
and all of the true peace; to make
fathers fiends, wives widows, chill
dren orphans.
l shall cause mothers to forget
their infants; children to grow up
in ignorance; young women to lose
their priceless purity; young men
| to become loafers, gamblers, and
''lewd fellows of the baser sort. )"
Lady customers supplied with
| beer as good al the. best home
brewed, which will not intoxicate, d
but only make them siovenly, lazy
coarse and quarrelsome. Boys and
girls are the raw material out OF
| which 1 make drunkards, etc. Pa
rents may help in this good work
by always sending their children to
buy the beer. On two hours notice
agree to put husbands in condition to
| reel home, break the furniture, beat
their wives, and kick their children
out of doorss shall also tit me-
chanics to spoil their work, be dis
charged, and become tramps.
If! one of the regular customers
should be trying to reform, I will
induce him again to take just
one glass, and start again on the
road to ruin. The money which he
has been wasting in bread and
| books for his children will buy lux
uries for me. And when his money
is gone I will persuade him to run
in debt, and then collect the bill by
attaching his wages.
Orders promptly filled for fevers
scrofula, consumption or delirium
tremens. In short, I agree to help
bring upon all my customers in this
world, debt, disgrace, despair and
in the next world the death that
never dies.
Some have suggested that I dis
play outside the door assorted spec
linens of my art-but that would
blockade the street. A fine assort-
ment of my manufactured wrecks
may be seen inside, or at the station
house every morning. In the poor
house, in the asylum, in the prisons
and on the gallows.
