A Fish Fry.
Editor The Bamberg Herald

Editor The Bamberg Herald:
AS you have your local CORES
pondents- In different sections, I
guess this item will be unexpected.
It was my pleasure on the twenty
first day Of August to attend neigh
borhood picnic at Mr.. and Mrs. l..
W. Rentz's, given in honor Of Misses
Grace and Quintarro Hoffman of the
Epworth orphanage, and Miss Laura
Carter, Of Baxley, Georgia.
At an early hour the neighborhood
folks began to gather. About 1880
o'clock the dinner was served under
the shade Of the oaks, in true picnic
style. The crowd seemed quiet for
a while, but the readers could guess
that they were busy with fish and
fatlings, cakes and pies. After the
feast the good women, having learn
ed the lesson our Savior taught, let
nothing be wasted, and had in their
baskets enough to feed as many
more. Then came the quiet chat of
the visiting friends, Mr.. e. E.
Hughes, Of Mississippi, whose con-
yersation interested young and old;
Misses Calvitt and Smith, of Savan-
nah; and Miss Bloom, from Orange
burg; Mr.. and Mrs. Long, Of Barn
we'll, and Mrs. Hutto from Mid
way.
A merry time, but the sad hour
came when that crowd had to part,
and all Of them will never meet again
under those oaks.

Prisoner Shoots Prisoner.

Rock Hill, Aug. 29.-Roland
Steel, negro with several aliases,
who was sent to the chaingang from
this place for larceny, was shot at
the stockade, two miles south Of this
city, yesterday morning by Mart Will
liams, another convict, and his
chances are pretty slim for getting
we'll, so the attending physician
states.
Steele had been on the sick list,
and this morning was left ION the
rod" under the care Of Williams,
who is the cook for the gang. In
some way Steele got loose and made
dash for liberty, but Williams hap
pened to see him and grabbed a
shotgun loaded with buckshot and
called on Steele to stop, which he
refused to do, and Williams fired,
the load taking effect in the back
of Steele's head and one side. Will
liams is a trusty, who has been on
the gang for some time past, sent
up from the Sharon section Of this
county for being implicated in the
shooting of a negro preacher.

Curious Advertisement.

An advertisement that puzzled
many readers recently appeared in
the Philadelphia Public Ledger. 1t
read: "Lost-A local option policy,
supposed to be indigenous to the con-
stitution; in recent years having a
precarious existence in the South.
Supposed to have strayed to Pennsyl-
vania. Any one restoring the same
to the States of Mississippi, Alabama
and Georgia will be literally re-
warded." Anti-local optionists are
of the opinion that it is the begin
ming of campaign by the brewers
who aim to increase the number of
"semi-wet" States throughout the
country. What the advertiser hopes
to gain through this appeal is mat
ter of conjecture" says the Ledger.
"He laments the fact that the local
option policy has strayed to Penn
sylvania, and the prohibitionists be-
lieve that this plaintive appeal is
practically a call to arms to the sa-
loon keepers of this State to hold
tight to the local option policies.
AS the liquor interests believe that
half a loaf is better than nothing,
it is possible that many will take
heed Of the curious advertisement. "

Pellagra Not Caused by Corn.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 30.-A case of
pellagra, the victim of which claimed
that she had never eaten corn bread
or any corn products was revealed
today in the death of Mrs. Kate Bar
to.
DR.. Frank Eskridge, who claims
to have treated many cases Of the
disease, says he doubted his own
diagnosis and thought she might be
a victim of "sprue," a disease known
to the tropics, with symptoms re-
sembling those of pellagra. He call
ed in physician who had had years
of experience in the tropics and
found that his original diagnosis was
correct.
II am convinced now," he says,
that the disease does not come from
musty corn"

citation, made public this evening,
gives the condition of cotton up to
and including August Is as GAL per
cent.
This is the lowest condition>in q
number Of years." the report says,

Wants no Lawyers on Jury.

Durham, N. c., Aug. 30.-Reuben
Barbee; a well-to-do white man, to
be tried for the murder Of Engineer
Holt here last winter, caused sur
prise today when he discharged At
torneys Winston and Bryant from the
case and said he would leave the
matter to the judge without jury
or lawyers.
Barbee has been in Jail since De-
cember. He became impatient and
after discharging his attorneys, told
the court he was ready to draw a
venire. The court appointed coun-
sci to defend him as required by
law.
Barbee was tried for murder 10
years ago and was acquitted with
out having attorneys defend him.
The present trouble appears to have
arisen over the attorneys refusal
to ask for habeas corpus proceed
ings when Barbee so demanded.

day Of the Confederate reunion at
Bethesda church.
The Govan team defeated the
Colston team about a month ago on
the latter's diamond, but the Govan

esting game. The score ran two to
four, nine innings.

HILLSIDE GIVES WAY.
Part Of Scranton, Pa, Sinks Several
Feet.

Scranton, Pa, Aug. 29.-Fully
100000 damage was done to West
Scranton property today by a mine
cave, the worst the city has ever
experienced. Abandoned workings
of the "old cork and bottle colliery"
of the Fairlawn Coal company, which
ceased operations twenty years ago,
gave way under a side hill and an
area equal to two city blocks, sunk
from two to eight feet, throwing
houses from their foundations, crack.
ing walls and otherwise damaging
buildings.
Public school No. 16, a $4,000
brick structure, was so badly dam
aged that it will have to be torn
down. The other properties dam
aged are mostly frame residences on
Fairview and Chestnut avenues and
Robinson street, with a few small
stores.
One of the biggest items of losses
is the land, which, on account Of
being steep hillside, is probably made
unmarketable.
The disturbance is estimated to
be about 130 feet below the surface.
Fissures extending to the surface and
three feet across at the tops show
themselves in number Of places.

the brow of the hill slid down the

The Country School.

While marked improvement has
been made in the rural schools OF
this country, they are yet not al
that they should be. Frequently
thev are woefully deficient in the
matter of equipment. OFTEN, too,
the condition Of the public highways
and the lack of other means OF
transportation make it difficult for
pupils to reach these centers OF
education.
OF course, in the very nature Of
things the rural schools probably
cannot be brought up to the high
standard of schools in urban centers;
but certainly they may be improved
in many ways, and there are few
more important educational prob
lens than the problem which has
to do with the improvement OF these
educational institutions.
The country school Is an important
and vital factor in our system OF
education, and we have not paid as
much attention to it as its work and
worth have merited. The usefulness
and social and economic efficiency OF
many men and women who must play
some part in the affairs Of tomor-
row will depend wholly upon the
kind of training they receive In
country schools, for circumstances
will make it impossible for such al
these to get beyond the village
schoolroom in their efforts to secure
an education.-Seattle Post-Intelii-
gencer.
