the beautiful sentiment of the follow
ing little poem and kindly pre-
sented it to us to publish
If We But Knew
Could we but draw back the curtains
That surround each others lives;
See the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action given;
Often we would find it better,
Purer than we Judge we should,
We should love each other better
If we only understood.
Could we judge all deeds by motive,
See the good and bad within,
Often we would love the sinner
All the while we loathe the sin.
Could we know the powers that working
In a heart so void of integrity,
We should judge each others errors
With more patient charity.
If we knew the cares and trials,
Knew the efforts all in vain,
And the bitter disappointment,
Understood the loss and gain
Would the grim, external roughness
Seem, wonder, just the same?
Could we help where now we hinder?
Should we pity where we blame?
Oh! we Judge each other harshly,
Knowing not life's hidden force!
Knowing not the fount of action
Is less turbid at its source.
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains of good.
Oh! we'd love each pther better
If we only understood. GET.

Mirth of a Murderer.

like a tin opener. our burglar cut two
long slits-one perpendicular. the 9TH

Then be wrenched the flap toward
him. bending it with his powerful
hands as one twists open the lid of a
sardine tin Another minute and he
was inside.
Quietly and methodically be thrust
precious stones and rings into his lit
tie bag, choosing those which besides
being small were Of great value. The
bag was all but<full when the jeweler
himself appeared at the back Of the
shop. he carried candle in one hand
and a revolver in the other.
The burglar bowed very politely and
said:
81 did not care to pass by an old
friends house without stopping to bid
him good day." -
The unsuspecting jeweler allowed
himself to be shaken by the hand,
when, with a sudden thrust, the bur-
glar stabbed him to the heart.
The bag was rapidly filed to almost
bursting point. and before leaving the
premises the burglar wrote a few
words on a sheet Of paper, which he
pasted on the outside Of the shop:
"Closed on account Of death in the
family "-I0n6on Scraps.

Accidentally Shot.

SAVANNAH, GA, Jan. 12.-General
Freight Agent W. E. Estes Of the
Central of Georgia was perhaps ia
tally shot by his wife at an early
hour this morning. He received the
bullet in the temple, and surgeons
are now unable to say whether or
not he will survive.
The shooting was accidental. Mr.,
Estes had just arrived home. His
wife said she had heard a noise that
made her think there was burglar
in the house and asked him to take a
pistol she had placed on the table by
her bedside. She was handing him
the weapon when it was discharged.
Surgeons say the skull was badly
fractured. They have extracted the
bullet.

Our New School Building.

The board of trustees of the Bam-
berg graded school was. in session
yesterday, receiving bids from
various contractors for the rebuild
ing of our graded school. Several
bids were presented, and there was
a great difference in the figures sub
mitted. The opening of bids showed
the trustees that they did not have
money enough to replace the build
ing, so they have called for a mass
meeting Of the taxpayers of the dis
trict to be held at the court house on
Monday, the 9th instant, for the
purpose of devising ways and means
to raise sufficient funds. The former
building was insured for $500,
which has all been paid, but the low
est bid submitted was over $4,000,
and this too without heating or fur
niture. Attend the meeting and vote
to raise enough money in some
practical way to give Us a frst-class
building.

was drowned. Much damage was
done to the Hotel Maimaro and
scores of residences on Gulf avenue,
the lower floors of which were sub

Youth Accidentally Killed.

; LANCASTER, Jan. 8-A sad tragedy
occurred near here this afternoon.
While out hunting Master Crawford
Bell was accidentally shot and in
stantly killed. There were several
rumors, but the one which seems to
be verified is that Bell was showing
his two companions who were along
with him trick which he had just
learned and shot himself.
He is ason of Policeman H. w. Bell.
Another accident, which came near
being serious, occurred in the city a
day or so ago. Miss Charlotte Jones
was shooting an air rifle when it
suddenly went off and she was shot
in the eye. The wound is not serious,
but Miss Jones had a very narrow
escape from death.
