How Street Force Removes Drift
Wood.
Considerable Skill as Well as
Muscle Required.
WORK WITH METHOD.
Must Calculate Leverage and
Plan Work.
Little Uneasiness Felt on Ac-
count Of High Water.

At the time of high water interest
is turned to the work of the street
force under Street Commissioner
Frank Snyder and his assistant, J. w.
Miller, removing the drift wood
which gathers at the foot of the west
arches of the melan bridge. To re-
move these pieces of drift requires no
little skill as well as considerable
muscular eXertion. Very often
through the force of the current one
heavy piece of drift will be lodged in
such d way that it is the keystone for
the rest of the logs, etc. If this one
can be removed the removal of the
other is easy.
work with something of method.
Some times it is decided that a piece
lying furthest from the arch must
be removed first. Other times. a
stick or board which has been lodged
in the center of the drift is first
lOosened.
Heavy iron graphing hooks. at
tached to long thick ropes are used
for the heavy logs. For the smaller
pieces light gigs and lighter rope
are used.
These hooks and gigs must be
thrown with a certain precision and
force to stick in the drift and an
inch either way from the end of the
timber will make d great deal of diff
ference in the ease and rapidity with
from the drift. The leverage has to
be nicely calculated.
Then also care must be taken that
the hooks are pulled out before the
drift wood floats under the bridge
too far and causes too severe a strain
on the rope attached. The drift is
merely sent down the streams and is
not hauled to the bridge.

Obituary.

After an illness of two weeks OF
the most painful suffering, Mrs.
Lalla O'Neal passed away on the
morning of the 18th of May, 1903.
She was a consistent member of the
Bamberg Baptist church, sweet, gen.
tie and kind in disposition, and at no
time ever losing sight Of the lady-like
impressions Of an early training. She
had passed her three score year and
ten, and up to the unfortunate cir
cumstance that caused her death, her
health was almost perfect. Her
death has been a great shock to her
large circle of friends and relatives
and has cast quite gloom over the
whole country. She leaves one broth
er and sister with large number OF
friends and relatives to mourn her
loss. The funeral services were held
at the old Moye cemetery, -Buford's
Bridge, at which place her remains
were laid to rest on Sunday, the 18th
day of May, 1909.
Long days and nights she bore in
pain,
To wait for cure was all in vain,
But God alone, who thought it best,
Did cease her pain and give her
rest.
Rest, dear Lalla, and Jesus keep you,
With a kind and loving hand,
Close beside the sparkling waters,
In that bright and happy land"
A LOVING FRIEND.

who was injured on Memorial day by
being thrown from buggy, died at
her home in Fairfax on Saturday.
The death of Mrs. O'Neal is peculiarly
a sad one and the incident which
brought about the suffering and
death of this highly respected lady is
deeply to be regretted.

ford's Bridge, known as the Moye
cemetery. Rev. Mr.. Snelson, of Fair
fax, conducted the funeral services.
Many from Bamberg attended the

this good woman, who had lived here
and who was well known here dur
ing all of her life.
Mrs. O'Neal was "A years old at
the time of her death. She was a
sister of Mrs. J. T. O'Neal, of Bam-
berg, and of Mr.. NJ. A. Moye, former

Tillman and Smith Talk.

Washington, May Ex-senator
Gore to-day sought immediate consid-
Grafton of his resolution instructing
the committee on finance to obtain
by investigation the import prices OF
various articles of general and ordi-
nary consumption, also the whole
sale and retail prices Of such articles
when used in this country, the object
being to determine if the retailers In
this country are practicing extortien.
The consideration was postponed un-
til Monday.
With the disposal of the Gore reso-
luton Senator Johnstone, of Alabama
spoke on the tariff bill.
Reading from testimony Of Car
negie before the ways and means
committee, Senator Tillman declared
that Carnegie had made a vast
amount of money by favoritism in
legislation.
"I will not say by dishonesty" said
Senator Tillman, because he has
only taken advantage of the laws that
we pass. But he has made more
money than the entire bunch of us
here put together, and there are
some very rich men in this senate.
He has given away more money than
all the Democrats of this body
possess-ten' times as much, l ex-
pect."
Senator Smith, Of South Carolina,
during the discussion of the steel
schedule, contended that even at a
reduced rate the duty was too high.

Report of Epworth League.

We are so much pleased and
gratifed with the success Of our
work during the past year. First Of
all We do thank our Heavenly Father
for our good desires and impulses
that come from him.
We have for our president Mr.. J..
C. Guilds. He is jealous worker,
and an enthusiastic president makes
an enthusiastic Epworth League. He
presides with dignity and with his
earnest conservation has awakened
a new interest in our work. 1t is
said that Gin knowledge there is
power" this is certainly applicable
in League work. Our president un-
derstands this perfectly. He inspires
and encourages us to do more for
Christ, and to yield our lives to God,
giving him quietly our prayers and
our means. President Guilds has
rendered his resignation to us as
president for another year. We re-
gret so much that we will soon lose
him from among us, as this is his
second year and with him as leader
we have done our best work. Our
prayers shall be for his success in all
and anything he may undertake.
All our services are entertaining
and enlightening, in fact our every
meeting is full of interest. We earn
estly hope that our efforts will not
prove futile, and that the good seed
we are endeavoring to SOW will bring
forth a bountiful harvest.

DARING TRAIN ROBBERY.
Express Car on Southern's No. II
RanSacked.
Two Iicn CvC xWer Messenger ard
Loot { he I--Of1iCialS Place
Amount secured ut 5000.

Augusta. Ga, May 1S.-Two rob-
bers boarded Southern passenger
train No. II, at Warrenville, S. c.,
ten miles out, tonight, got the drop
on Express Messenger Thomas l..
Hutto, knocked him senseless with
piece of rubber hose, pinioned his
arms behind his back, took his keys,
threw him into an empty express
chest, locked him there and ran
sacked the car at will. The train
makes up at Branchville and car
cies through express and mail from
Charleston and Columbia to Augusta.
E. C. Burrell, agent of the Southern
Express Company at Augusta, states
that the records show that the rob-
bers secured about 5000. This is the
first time on record that the express
has been of such small amount. The
average currency express is $4,000
to $4,000.
The robbers rode into Augusta and
left the train at Broad street in the
centre of the city. No one on the
train knew of the incident and the
robbery was not discovered until the
messenger was liberated at the union
station, negro porters who were to
engage in unloading the express hav-
ing located the imprisoned man by
his vigorous kicking within the box.

A Premium on Lawlessness.

Prof. Hugo Munsterberg, of Har-
ward University, has expressed some
views upon the question Of prohibi-
ton which the temperate men among
the Prohibitionists might very well
study with advantage to the cause OF
temperance and the good order OF
society. He says:
prohibition puts premium on
the systematic violation of law and
produces a form of corruption which
is still worse than the corruption
which irradiates from the licensed sa-
loon. Further, it reinforces drinking
in it's most miserable and dangerous
form. The moderate drinker is cut
off, while the immoderate drinker is
created. 1t abolishes light wine and
beer, and opens wide the way for the
worst kind of whiskey. It eliminates
every sound supervision and makes
minors and inebriates the favorite
customers. A clean surface appear
ance is bought at the expense of in
ner moral and mental destruction. l
have hardly any doubt that this pro-
hibition movement will at first over
whelm by it's very superfciality the
sober efforts for education and re-
form in this country, just as vaude-
vile and operetta have overwhelmed
the serious drama, as the cheap mag
azine has demolished the book store,
as the yellow press has captured the
masses and as in a hundred other
forms the appeal to superficial judg--
ment has been successful. Then, OF
course, will come the reaction and
the cry for prohibition will just as
swiftly disappear as the cry for free
silver"
We do not think the case could be
stated better. Prohibition does not
prohibit; on the contrary, prohibition
encourages intemperance. 1t is, as
Prof. Munsterberg says, a wholly su-
perficial and ineffective remedy for
the admittedly great evil of intem-
perance, an evil which can be cured
only by sound education and respect
for individual freedom. The prohlbi-
tionists generally are wholly sincere
in their efforts doubtless to reform
society, but they cannot enforce tenn
perate living by intemperate action.

TORNADO IN MICHIGAN.
Large Area Strewn with Wreckage
Twenty-Five Families Homeless.

Fowlerville, Mich, May 16.-This
town and surrounding country for a
radius of two miles is to-day streWn
with wreckage, with probably twenty
five families homeless. The damage
wrought by Saturday afternoons tor
nado, which almost completely ruined
this section, will reach upwards OF
$4,000.
Telephone and telegraph wires
were torn down and not until late to-
day was communication with the out
side world possible.
A conservative estimate places the
number of buildings damaged or de-
molished at 250. This may be in
creased when all districts are heard
from. Dwellings were unroofed,
barns and outbuildings demolished,
orchards uprooted and boards and
trees carried for several rods in the
air.
The houses and store buildings
clustered in town escaped serious
damage, although they were not left
untouched. Many awnings, chin
news, verandas and roofs were carried
away, narrowly missing the heads OF
pedestrians.
Up to late to-day but three persons
were reported as injured. The most
seriously hurt is Frank G.. Rounds
vile, an elevator owner, who was
struck with flying debris when his
building was demolished.

Mans Face on Window Pane.

A phenomenon which has attract
ed hundreds of persons during the
last week in the northeastern section
of the city is the appearance of the
figure of a dead man on window
pane in his residence, says a Read
ing dispatch to the Philadelphia
North American.
Oliver D. Angstadt, a tailor, died
last October. A week ago to-day, 1T
is alleged, his daughter saw the face
of her father at a second-story win
dow.
Finally the story became known,
and the curious ones began to gather
at the Angstadt home. When the
crush became great squad of police
was sent to the house.
Residents declare that they saw
Mr.. Angstadt's likeness on the, win
dow pane very plainly. In a way of
explanation, it is said that Mr..
Angstadt was fond Of watching the
lightning and some declare that by
strange freak of nature his fea-
lures were photographed on the win
dow pane and the sun has developed
the same.

Harrisburg, Pa, May 16.-Gover-
nor Sturat's approval of the appro-
priation for the Pennsylvania insti-
tuition for the deaf and dumb, at Mt.
Airy, near Philadelphia, makes pos
sible the education at that place of
Katharyn May Frick, daughter Of
VIM. Frick, of this city. The child,
who is 9 years old, has been blind as
we'll as deaf and dumb since her
fourth birthday.
When the bill appropriating
100000 to this institution was sent
to the governor, Representative
Tunis, of this city, learning that it
would cost about $4,000 to expert
ment with the little Frick girl, had
the bill recalled and so amended as
to include $4,000 for a special in

aryn is very bright, possessing many
of the characteristics of HELEN Kel-
lar. This is the first time the State
of Pennsylvania has undertaken the
Individual education of a child or
