Get the Boosting Habit!

Do you know there's lots of people
Sitting round most every town; =,
Growing like broody chicken,
Knocking every good thing down.
Don't be that kind Of cattle,
Cause they amt no good on earth,
But just be a booster rooster,
Grow and boost for all you're worth
|If your town needs boostin, boost her
Don't hold back and wait to see
If some other fellows willin';
Sail right in, this country's free.
No ones got mortgage on it,
It's just yours as much as his;
If your town is shy of boosters,
You get in the boostin biz.
If things don't seem to suit you
An the world seems kinder wrong,
What's the matter with a boostin'
Just to help the thing along.
Cause if things should stop again,
We'd be in sorry plight,
You just keep the. horn a-blowin',
Boost her up with all your might.
If you see some fellow tryin'
For to make some project go,
An you can boost it up a trife,
That's your cue to let him know
That you're not going to knock 1t,
Just because it amt your shout,
But that you're going to boost a little
Cause he's got the best thing out.

THE ..soUTH CAROLINA .
Great Battleship Will be Launched a
s. ~ 4 philadelphia Next Month.

columbia, June 1.-THE battle
shin fp"South Carolina" will be launch
ed on the 11th Of July at the Cramps
shipyards, Philadelphia.
Ofacial notice has been received by
Coy. Ansel that the launching viii
take place on that date and the gov
ernor is requested in the letter to
give the builders any details connect
ed with the launching that may be
desired to be carried out. The letter
from President Henry S. Grover OF
the William Cramps and Sons Com
pa1y, says: 49, ~ 7
1ssI have the honor to inform you
that the date fixed for the launching
OF the battleship South Carolina is
July 11th, next,
4 SSssIf you viii advise us the wishes
Sof the government Of your State as to
any details connected thereW1th II
would be great pleasure for us to
comply as far as possible with them.
Gov. AnseI was to-day engaged IN
tie meeting OF the State board OF
education and it could not be ascer-
tained whether he had outlined any
plans for the launching but it Is pre-
ksumed that he will be present, with
at Official party. It is usually custo-
mary to have ceremonies attending
tie launching Of a battleship, In
which ceremonies the governor par
tieipates and the ship is christened
by some young lady of his family or
designated by him. 1t is to be hoped
that Gov. ,Ansel will be able to attend
and that the ceremonies will be beht-
ting the fame Of the Palmetto State.
e The South Carolina is one of the
most modern type of battleships and
when completed will be one of the
terrors of the seas. 1t has already
been suggested that a fund should be
raised by popular subscription to pre-
sent the ship with a silver service In
5the name Of the State, the name OF
which it bears, and that this presen-
tation take place in Charleston har-
Dor when the battleship makes her
first trip. The suggestion is capable
Of expansion along the lines that will
. do the State great credit, in more
ways than one.

Brother A. w. Knight, of The Bam-

it for his enterprising, spirit. He
recently moved into his new Office,
which is one Of the finest buildings
in the town, and has installed a
modern linotype machine. Not
many country newspapers are SO
well equipped, and the people of
Bamberg county should. pride them
selves on having such live paper.
May The Herald continue to flourish.

GRADED SCHOOL CLOSES.
Mr.y{W NJ. Brabfam Writes in the
Columbia State Concerning
RamberS'S Schools.

The Bamberg graded and high
schools closed the year Friday after
a successful although a very difficult
session. In the history of the schools
here no more adverse circumstances
have occurred than in the year just
closed. In November the handsome
and commodious building was de-
stroyed by fire and since that time
the county court house has been used
as a temporary school building and
despite the fact that everything was
done that could be done under the
circumstances the school did not ac-
complish what it could have done IN
a building out of the very centre OF
the business section and in a regu-
larly appointed building. Superln.
tendent Sheridan and his faithful
corps of teachers deserve much com
mendation for the patient and faith
full service rendered. The enrolment
has been good and shows an increase
over any previous year and the 1nstl-
tuition of the high school department
has proved great success. The com
mercial department in particular has
been taken advantage of, and several
young ladies have received certitl-
Gates in this branch of work. One
has already secured position as
stenographer.
There will be number of changes
in the teaching corps of the school
next year. Mr.. E. Paul Allen, princ1.
pal of the Magnolia Street graded
school in Greenwood, has accepted
the position of superintendent to sue
ceed Prof. Sheridan, who goes tc
Lake City.
The new school building has been
completed and will be fitted out with
splendid furniture during the sum
mer and when the fall session opens
everything will be very favorable fol
a good years work. Bamberg is al
ways to the forefront in matters OF
education and nothing will be left
undone which will help towards bet
tering and upbuilding the school.
With the graded and high schools ano
the Carlisle Fitting School here the
advantages are exceptionally fine
Both schools have flowing artesiar
wells on the grounds and the water
supply is excellent and the health Of
the two schools is remarkably good

ARE TURTLES REPTILES?
Point at Issue In Dispute Started by
Cuban Customs Officials.

Washington.-A weird, but serious,
complaint has reached the bureau of
insular affairs of the wal department
relating to the classification by the
Cuban customs officials of sea turtles.
The point at issue is whether the mon
ster turtles should pay duty as "ani-
mails not otherwise classified" or
come in as reptiles" free of duty.
That a turtle is a reptile is tena-
ciously held by those interested in the
industry which heretofore has -four
ished on the south side of the island.
The turtles are captured in great
numbers near Bato Bato and q ready
market is found in all parts Of Cuba.
Under the animal" classification the
duty collected is regarded as prohib-
five according to the complaint made,
and authority is sought to have the
turtle once more assigned to the rep
tile class" To support the contention
the claim is made that Roman Cath
olics consider that a turtle is not flesh.
It is suggested here that the Cuban
customs officials doubtless had before
them in making the classification the
ruling of the American government
in classifying frogs legs as dressed
poultry"

GIRL WINS $4,000 AT FARO.
Lillian Bennett BREAKS the Bank" o.
Rawhide, New.

Reno, Nev.-Miss Lillian Bennett,
said to be the daughter of a prominent
New York family, broke a faro bank
in Rawhide the other night, winning
$4,000 in one sitting in a resort.
When the bank roll was gone the
proprietor sent out for more money
but the banks Of the camp were closed
and the, big game was brought to an
end. This is the second time the
young woman has made a spectacular
play in the new camp and in the same
resort. At a former sitting she lost
$4,000, and took her bad luck with
little concern.
The young woman gained consider.
able notoriety in the Klondike a few
years ago. She left her home for the
far north, and It was while there that
she learned to play faro. winning a
considerable fortune, a portion of
which she brought with her to Raw.

SIXTY CIGARETTES A DAY,
Russian Quits After Smoking Nearly
a Million Coffin Nails.

Lake City, Ia.-With a record Of
nearly 100000 cigarettes at an aver.
age of 60 a day, Isaac Manhoff, a ped
dler of this place, 40 years old, has
decided to renounce the weed.
The habit had such a hold on
him that it was necessary to awake
at all hours of the night and roll a
coffin nail" before he could be
lulled to sleep again. When a lad in
Russia he began the habit which he
found so hard to shake of. Despite
this fact he will devote his days to
trying to convince men and boys that
they should the practice.
Manhoff was in the habit of smok-
ing ten cigarettes before breakfast,
and the rest of the day a cigarette
was out of his mouth only a few min
utes at q time.
For a man who has inhaled the
fumes of so many cigarettes Manhot
Is a strong man. He weighs about
ITS pounds and has q massive chest
and square build. For cigarette paper
he used the Russian rice paper, and
not the rag paper used generally in
America.
Manhoff estimates the cost Of his
smoking at $3,191.

Thursday held. on a charge of murder
in the first degree.
He waived examination and was
bound over without bail. Lamphere
makes conflicting statements Of his
whereabouts previous to and during
the fire. He admits that between
three and four o'clock Tuesday morn
ing he was walking from Laporte to
a place where he was employed, six
miles north of town, that he passed
near the Guinness house and saw the
roof afire, but did not give an alarm
because he feared he might be sus-
pected.
The fire at the Guinness house was
discovered at four o'clock. Officers
have evidence that Mrs. Guinness
feared for her life and her property,
and had made a will within IL hours
Of the time she met death.
BY the terms of the will, the es.
tate of $4,000 is given to her three
children, but in case they die without
issue the property goes to the Nor.

authorities have been unable to find
any relatives Of the Guinness woman.

in Forest Home cemetery, Chicago,
according to a request in Mrs. Gun
ness will.
