Death of L. A. Bikle.

The news of the death Of Mr.. L.
A. Bikle was received with much sad
ness in Bamberg, where he was we'll
known and had many friends. He
was originally from North Carolina,
but had been living in Bamberg coun-
ty for a number Of years. He mar
ried daughter Of Mr.. c. R. Clayton,
Of the Ehrhardt section, and leaves
his wife and several children. For
number of years Mr.. Bikle was prin-
cipaI Of the Ehrhardt school, and
later entered the railway-mail SER
vice. The writer knew him well, and
feels a sense of personal loss in his
death. We never knew more up
right, honorable man than L. A.
Bikle, nor one who had more love
and charity in his heart for his fel-
bowman. The news of his suicide
came as a great shock to his friends
here, for many of them did not know
his health was 80 bad.
Everybody who knew Mr.. Bikle
honored and respected him for his
many noble qualities, and in this sad
hour they extend sympathy to his
bereaved family.

Garris on Education.

Hon. c. W. Garris, member Of
the legislature from this county,
made speech at the educational raj
ly In Aiken county last week, and the
report Of the meeting in the State
gave the following synopsis OF his
address:
"Hon. C. W. Garris Of Bamberg
followed with a splendid address. He
complimented Aiken county on the
school opportunities that it is capable
of offering. The State is capable OF
offering vast opportunities, but these
opportunities are not properly appre-
ciated, and a stimulus is required to
get the people properly interested.
We feel that it is the duty of the
State to educate, then 1t Is the duty
of the State to compel its people
to take advantage of the opportun-
tiles that are offered. He does not
think it is right for the average term
in some sections to be % weeks and
in others "a weeks; he wishes to see
uniform term all over the State.
To this end he will ask the legisla-
ture this year to grant $4,000 in
stead of $4,000 for, poor schools.
He wants each child offered the same
opportunity.

Fugitive Arrested.

Monday afternoon a white tramp
hit town, and as soon as he arrived
he was arrested by Policeman c. G.
Rowell. The fellow was badly
scared, and soon after being put in
the guard house Mr.. Rowell noticed
shackle marks on his ankles. Then
he confessed who he was and where
he was wanted. He said his name
was Evenor Joyner, and he was
wanted in Jenkins county for rape,
and told Mr.. Rowell the name Of
the sheriff of the county. Mr.. Row.
ell at once got In communication
with the sheriff, and that official ar
rived here Tuesday afternoon to car
'ry Joyner back.
We had conversation with Sheriff
Edenf1eld while he was in the city,
he being a very pleasant gentle
man. He said Joyner was young
man of a good family, but was q
black sheep and had never had much
sense or energy-a sort Of good for
nothing fellow all round. He had
served a term on the chaingang Of
Bulloch county for some misdemean-
or, and was in Jail awaiting trial
lat Millen when he made his escape.
However, the sheriff said there was
nothing much in the charge against
Joyner, as the woman in the case
was Of bad character, and some
young men had gone to her house
and raised a disturbance. That
Joyner might be found guilty of as
[sault and battery or attempt assault
and sent to the chaingang, but that
was about all that was likely to be
done with him. The sheriff left
Tuesday night for Millen with his
prisoner.
Joyner was caught very nicely.
On his way to town he stopped at
the county chaingang and Foreman
Kirkland became suspicious of him,
and sent one of the TRUSTEES to town
to notify Policeman Rowell that a
suspicious character was coming to
town, and Mr.. Rowell was waiting
for him when he got here. Joyner
| has been out of Jail about year,
| and has been working at Langley.

time, and he resigned and cordially
recommended Bro. Allen as his sue
cessor, having been requested by the
church to nominate suitable man

How Character Is Formed.

Have you ever noticed how an
icicle is formed? If you have, you
noticed how it froze one drop at q
time until it was a foot or more
long. If the water was clear, the
icicle remained clear, and sparkled
almost as brightly as diamonds In
the sun; but if the water was slightly
muddy, the icicle looked FOUL ano
it's beauty was spoiled. Just so our
characters are forming little
thought of feeling at a time. If each
thought be pure and bright, the soul
will be lovely and sparkle with hap
piness; but if impure and wrong
there will be deformity and wretch
edness.-Young Evangelist.

crowd was present, and there was
plenty of dinner, good speeches by
Sheriff F. H. Creech, Of Barnwell,
and Mr.. B. D. Carter, of Bamberg,
and a pleasant time all round.
A lady from Georgia who has been
visiting at Mr.. A. Kirsch's in the city,
is of the opinion that prohibition has
not been a good thing for Georgia, as
she told Mr.. Kirsch that people now
kept whiskey in their houses and
drank who never drank before. The
lady says Georgia people are making
Florida rich, as Jacksonville is the
city they order their whiskey from.

Civic League.

On every side we hear the ques-
ton, What has become Of the Civic
Lacquer" and very often an old
cracker will answer, "Just as I said,
it has died 8 natural DEATH" Some
folks seem to think the League a
highly paid organization, which bears
the town a grudge and so must be
criticised and frowned upon on all
occasions. The truth of the mat
ter Is this, the work which the men,
bers are trying to do springs purely
from a civic pride In their town,
knowledge that self-preservation de-
mands a healthful town, and desire
to see Bamberg keep pace with other
towns In It's advancement in civiliza-
ton. The ladies are giving their
time and money, too, to help in this
cause, and ~-ould. at least, receive
encouragement from the citizens Of
the town. But it is always thus
there are always more critics than
workers in any worthy enterprise.
Seemingly very little has been ac-
complished by the League during the
summer months, but now, as the
members return home from the sea-
shore, the springs, and mountain
side, great things are going to be
accomplished, and the town Is going
to be made to realize that the
League is very much alive.
During this, our first year, we
have labored more to create a public
sentiment in favor of clean streets,
we'll kept public grounds, and i'm
proved sanitary conditions around
the homes, than we have done actual
work. In other words, we have en-
deavored to open the eyes of the
housekeepers and citizens to the
danger from unsanitary surround
ings, and to awake them to a per-
sonal responsibility for the general
appearance at home, In the street,
and in the great outdoors. When
every citizen aWakens to the fact
that he is personally responsible to
his neighbors for the state Of his
premises, then we will have advanced
step In civilization. It has been
said that the progress of civilization
Is to be measured by the amount
Of social consideration which is
found in society. The highly civilized
person Is always aware of the pres
ence Of the rights and of the needs
of others.
A person who allows his back lot
to grow up in weeds, suffers mud
puddles and stagnant water around
his house, or anything unsanitary
about his home, does not endanger,
alone the health Of his own family,
but that Of his neighbor, also. A
beautiful city presupposes a clean
city, 80 first Of all let US all work
together for a city free from dirt
and disease, and then the work of
beautifying 1t will be an easy mat
ter. But this can only be done
when each property owner determ-
ines to do his very best to make
his own home an ideally cleanly and
beautiful place, when the teachers
and parents instruct the children
that they, too, are responsible for
the health and beauty of their town.
It was said that when the school
boys Of New York were set to pick
ing up the paper which blew about
the street they were given a valuable
lesson in citizenship. They were
taught that the public places Of the
city belong to the citizens and that
the citizens are responsible for
them.
