The News and Courier supposes
that the eight car loads of cattle
shipped from Bamberg county re-
Gently were raised in Bamberg coun-
ty. We regret this was not the case.
although we can safely say that tie
raising of cattle in this county is on
the increase. However, the cattle
shipped from this place recently
(and something like TOO or 500 head
have been shipped) were bought by
our farmers in Tennessee last fall
and shipped here to be fattened,
their idea being to obtain the COM
post for their farms. The cattle were
fattened on meal and hulls purchased
from the local oil mill, and they all
brought something like six cents or
more a pound when sold. In this
connection it may be noted that the
fattening of cattle each winter by
the farmers around Bamberg Is get
ting to be quite an industry, SO we
were correct in saying that Bamberg
Is getting to be quite market for
beef cattle. -....--.-..'~.

Would Beat Wet Candidates.

Atlanta, April 3.-"As a soldier
is compelled to swear allegiance to
his country before he is allowed to
fight her battles, so should candi-
date be made to swear allegiance to
position of authority" declared
Gov. Charles N. Haskell, of Okla
homa, in an address before the con-
vention of the Southern Anti-Saloon
league here this afternoon. Gov.
Haskell was urging the election OF
only anti-liquor candidates to Offices.
Discussing the right of government
to prohibit the sale of intoxicants,
Gov. Haskell said:
"Anti-prohibitionists argue that
prohibition hinders the private rights
Of citizens. This is undoubtedly
true, but the government has right
to do this.
"The selling of poisons is prohibit
ed by law. A man who buys carbolic
acid is buying 1t with his own money
and If he wishes to drink 1t 1t is
purely a personal matter, but the law
denies him the right"

YOUNG MAN DROWNED.
Mr.. James Glover Meets With Sad
Fate in Utah.

Col. Mortimer Glover received a
telegram Saturday bringing the sad
intelligence from Ogden, Utah, that
his son, James, who held position
with a construction company Of that
city, had been accidentally drowned
while at work on Saturday morning
on a bridge.
The young man, who Is about 2S
years of age, has been West for some
years seeking his fortune, and was
doing we'll when overtaken by the
accident which cost him his life.
Had he lived he would have done
we'll in the line of work he had chos-
en-, as he was a bright Industrious
young man.
The announcement of Mr.. Glover's
tragic death was great shoch to
all the citizens of this place, where
he was born and raised to young
manhood. Col and Mrs. Glover have
the sympathy and coincidence Of all
in their sudden and sad bereavement.
The remains of the lamented young
man will be brought to this city and
inferred beside the loved ones who
have preceded him to the better
land.-Orangeburg Times and Demo-

Interstate Laws Condemned.

Atlanta, Ca. April 4.-Resolutions
advocating na..onal prohibition, call
ing upon churches to aid in the fight
for prohibition and condemning In
ter-State commerce laws as they now
stand, allowing the shipment OF
liquors from a wet to a dry State,
were adopted at the closing session
of the Southern Anti-saloon League
Convention here to-day.
A separate resolution also was
adopted, urging Southern Congress-
men and Senators to support the
Miller-Curtis bill, now pending in
Congress which provides for the
segregation of liquor in It's treatment
under Interstate commerce laws,
and permits any State to seize liquors
shipped within it's territory contrary
to its laws.

Not So Darned Famished.

A man was telling about an excit-
ing experience in Russia. His sleigh
was pursued over the frozen wastes
by a pack of at least dozen famished
wolves. He arose and shot the fore
most one, and the others stopped to
devour it. But they soon caught up
with him, and he shot another, which
was in turn devoured. This was re-
peated until the last famished wolf
was almost upon him with yearning
Jaws, When
"say, partner" broke in one OF the
listeners, according to your reckon
ing that last famished wolfe must
have had the other 'leven inside OF
him."
"Well, come to think it over" said
the story teller. maybe he wasn't 30
darned famished after all. Livery
body's.

Arrests in Bucket Shop Cases.

Washington, April 4.-Twenty-
three arrests of persons indicted in
connection with the operations OF
bucket shops in the district of Co.
lumbia last Saturday have been made
through the instrumentality of the
department of justice. Assurances
have been given that two other de-
PENDANTS will be surrendered in this
jurisdiction tomorrow. Four per-
sons yet remain to be apprehended, 1,
their names, according to the de-
partment of justice, being VIM. H.
Lillis, Edward S. Beggs and Robert
A. Guy at New York and Jos. Cas-
kins at Baltimore. The officials say
they have no doubt these persons
will be arrested within a short time.
Four arrests in Baltimore were re-
ported to the department of justice
this afternoon. They were Edward
Altemus, whose bail was fixed at $5,-
900 and Samuel Raymond, Oscar j.
Rappel and Robert Hall whose bail
was fixed at $4,000 each. Altemus,
Raymond and Rappel are said to be
associated with the Standard Stock
and Grain Dealers of Jersey City.
According to official statements it
is not contemplated raiding the vast
number of Offices, said to aggregate
more than $50 throughout the coun-
try, maintained by the three concerns
whose principal members have been
indicted nor to subpoena the persons
conducting them.

1t might as well be understood
right now in reference to this rail-
road question, that railroads are not
built to unbottle towns. Railroads
are built to make money primarily,
and to develop undeveloped sections
incidentally. If the people Of Ehr-
hardt and Bamberg want better rail-
road facilities they will either have
to build a railroad with their own
money or make such a showing in
the way of business, rights Of way
obtained, money raised, etc., that
the officials will conclude 1t is good
business to build the extension. 1t
takes more than talk and petitions
to induce railroad building. But we
believe that If the people of the
towns interested are willing to make
the necessary showing, the road can
be built, but they need not expect
that it will be built without it cost
ing them some money. If they are
prepared to make an outlay, results
may be obtained, but otherwise all
this railroad talk will amount to
nothing. We can speak for some
of the business men of Bamberg at
least, for we know they will put up
their money. Let us all get together
on this proposition, for the good OF
this whole section. We will all be
benefited, so let's work together.

Want Better Trains.

Washington, April 4.-Represen-
tative Patterson has been busying
himself to-day, trying to get better
express service for the asparagus
shippers of Williston and Elko In
Barnwell county. Last night he got
telegrams from A. M. Kennedy, at
Williston, and B. Stringfellow, at
Elko, asking him to make complaint
to the interstate commerce commits
sion that the northbound limited No.
80 on the Southern has ceased to
take up at Blackville the express
cars loaded with asparagus for the
North. This means delay In ship
ment and a consequent loss to the
asparagus growers.
Mr.. Patterson called on the, off,
cials Of the Southern railway and
laid the matter before them. They
told him that the shipments Of as
paragus at Blackville, Elko, Willis
ton and other points in that section
were too heavy to be handled by No.
30, but that they had arranged to
handle them on local train No. 20 to
Columbia and thence North by No.
36. This train arrives in New York
at Z a. M, whereas train No. 80 ar
rives there the night before. This
the officials of the road claim Is a
reasonable service.
Mr.. Patterson then called on the
interstate commerce commissioners
who promised to take up the matter
at once, and If the service is found
unreasonable to insist on q better
one.

Held Cotton 80 Years.

Jackson, Ca, April $50 far as
known the oldest bale Of cotton In
the world was sold here this week,
being bought by Etheridge, Smith &
Co., from +. II. Greer. The bale OF
cotton was ginned on December 10,
1872, by water power and was pack
ed on an old hand lever press In use
at that time. During that season OF
1872 cotton had been selling for 16
cents per pound, but as this bale
was late in being prepared for mar
ket, that price could not be obtained
when it was taken to Griffin. So the
cotton was carried back home, It's
owner declaring that he would never
sell for less than 16 cents. He was
SO years in having his promise full
filled.
Only once since 1872 has cotton
been above 16 cents and that was
during the Sully boom, when 1t went
half a cent above that figure. Mr..
Greer did not sell at that time think
ing the market would reach 20 cents.
In this he was mistaken, however,
and he has held the cotton for 16
cents ever since. Local cotton buy
ers have had their eyes on this cotton
for some time. A fancy price was
offered for it during the St. Louis
exposition, it being desired for expo
sition purposes, but MIR. Greer would
not sell.
This week he drove to town and
was offered is cents per pound for
the bale, which weighed when it was
first glnned sos pounds. After 3S
years It now weighs 4SS pounds,
Only once has it been repacked, and
that was in 1904, when the cotton
was found to be perfectly sound. The
bale has been placed on exhibition In
the window of Ethridge, Smith &
Co., and is being viewed by hundreds
Of persons.

CYCLONE DOES DAMAGE.
Score Injured and Houses Wrecked
at Youngstown, Ohio.

Youngstown, Ohio, April I'm
three minutes time cyclone wind
came and went In the midst Of q
rain storm, late to-day, and left in
it's wake to the southeast of the city
a score of injured people, thousands
of frightened ones, ten demolished
houses, and q hundred partially
wrecked. The loss is upwards Of
100000.
The storm did the heaviest damage
in Landsville, where 1t razed five
houses and wrecked three others.
At Hazelton, it wrecked the power
plant Of the Republic Iron and Steel
Company's works, crushed in the
store and saloon fronts on both
sides Of Centre street, unroofed and
demolished the gable of the Metho-
dist church, blew in windows Of the
public schools and continuing over
a hill uprooted trees and pulled down
poles and wires.
Miss Grace Wheat, a teacher, was
trying to close the windows in a
school house, when the wind blew
in the panes of all the windows, and
her pupils fed panic-stricken, to the
halls, where janitor controlled
them. The home of Mrs. Elizabeth
Cox, in Landsville, was blown off it's
foundation, and fell upon the home
Of George Hamburg. Mrs. Hamburg
literally threw her 6-year-old girl
from a window and jumped herself,
but neither was seriously hurt. The
house was demolished. Similar ex-
periences were had in dozens of
homes. The injured include S. T..
Glover, a carpenter, who was pinned
in the debris of a fallen building,
and George B. Gallott, whose leg
was almost severed with flying slate.
Gallott probably will die. The others
will recover.

Orangeburg Helps in Railroad Plans

branch of the Atlantic Coast Line
from Ehrhardt to Bamberg, Denmark
or Barnwell is being discussed in a
number of the towns of that section
of the State and it is expected that a
petition will be presented asking for
the new road. The chambers of COM
merce of Columbia and Augusta will
cooperate with the towns in secur-
ing the extension.
Ehrhardt is practically isolated
from the market. To reach the town
from Columbia requires about Is
hours at the present time and with
the extension to either Of the above
places the time would be cut down TO
three hours. Ehrhardt is located IN
the lower part of Bamberg county
and is surrounded by rich agricul-
tural section.
The following special has been re-
ceived by The State from Orange
burg:
"A movement is on foot to build q
railroad in a northerly direction out
from Ehrhardt to open section OF
Bamberg and Colleton counties that
have for long time been bottled up.
Augusta is trying to get the line
built from Ehrhardt to Blackville,
while Bamberg wants the road run to
that city.
president Robert H. Jennings OF
the local chamber Of commerce has
become interested in the matter and
believes that Orangeburg should help
Bamberg to get the road and then to
build the track on from Bamberg to
a point between Cope and Denmark
on the Atlantic Coast Line railway.
"This road would be Of great
benefit to Ehrhardt, Bamberg and
Orangeburg and would give continu-
GUS route from this city to Savannah,
as the Atlantic Coast Line railroad
already runs from it's Charleston and
Savannah line up from Green Pond
to Ehrhardt.
'"The distance from Ehrhardt to
Bamberg Is about IL miles, and from
Bamberg on to the Atlantic Coast
Line railroad at point just below
Cope is only four miles. With the
construction Of an additional 16
miles of track Ehrhardt and Bam-
berg, as well as this city, will be
greatly benefited. The country
through which this additional track
is contemplated to be laid is very
level and will require very little
grading in it's construction. The
Salkehatchie swamp Is the only
stream of any consequence to be en-
countered and it is very small at the
point to be crossed by this proposed
line.
president Jennings has appointed
a committee to go to Bamberg on
next Tuesday to confer with Bamberg
people and other parties interested
in the construction of this line. At
this meeting very likely whether or
not the road will be built will be de-
cided upon. From all present indi-
cations the new railroad will in all
probability be built as the enthusi-
asm for its building is not only high
at this point, but also In Bamberg
and Colleton counties"
