NEW STEP FOR CLEMSON.
Training School May Be Established
at That Institution.

A committee consisting Of Senator
Tillman, chairman; Messrs. w. w.
Bradley and w. D. Evans, were at the
college working in pursuance to the
resolution of the board of trustees
passed at the August meeting, which
was as follows:
Resolved, That committee OF
three be appointed to take into con-
sideration the amount necessary to
run the college and the amount neces-
sary for reasonable extension, and
that the remainder be set apart as a
fund to build a fitting school, and
that this board memorialize the legis-
lature to enact such law to carry into
effect this scheme"
The committee will not be able to
make a satisfactory report to the
board before the coming session Of
the legislature, because of the exten-
sive work necessary to reach an ac-
curate and satisfactory conclusion.
They have decided that it will be
necessary to find out whether the
deficit in the barracks Of several
thousand dollars, owing to the rise
in price of provisions and the low
board of $3.50 per month charged
to students, can be done away with.
The committee will consider all
matters relating to the expenditure
OF money in the past to discover if 1t
is practicable to secure greater econo-
my, because it Is of paramount I'M
portance that nothing be done to
cripple the college.
Acting President Riggs will CO.
operate in every way to facilitate the
work of the committee and enable it
to report to the board at the meeting
in July.

1t is announced that Major ]. G.
Hemphill will retire as editor Of the
News and Courier and go to Rich
mond in a few weeks to become edi-
tor of the Times-Dispatch. This an
nouncement will be received with re-
gret all over South Carolina, and his
going will be a distinct loss. Major
Hemphill is one of the finest writer's
in the South, and his editorials are
always read with great pleasure, no
matter whether you agree with him
or not. Under his management the
editorial page of the News and Cou-
rier has been a standard Of good
English, and it has often been mat
ter of great wonder to us how man
could write the scholarly productions
he does in the rush and hurry Of get
ting out daily paper. In addition
to his literary attainments, Major
Hemphill is a man Of charming per-
sonality. and his very large number
of friends in the State will deeply
regret his leaving us. ..

Census Enumerators Wanted.
The Herald, Bamberg, S. C.


My dear Mr.. Editor: A large
number of your readers may be in
terested to learn that the time for
closing the consideration Of applica-
tions for the position of census enum-
orator, in the census which is to be
taken beginning April 18th, is Janu-
ary twenty-fifth. Applications re-
ceived after that date will be ignored.
Then on February fifth comes the
test, simple examination, which any
person with a common school educa-
ton can pass. This examination will
be given at considerable number of
places in this district, SO that no ap-
plicant need travel more than fifteen
miles, while most candidates will be
near an examination place.
The middle of March should see
everything settled, with the commits
stoned enumerators in possession of
circulars and books of instructions
relative to the Interpretation or mean
ing of the questions on the schedule
of population, and of agriculture,
AS to the pay for the work, may
say it varies somewhat according to
the territory to be enumerated, but,
in a general way, from three dollars
to six dollars day, is what may be
expected. AS Secretary Nagel says,
the work is honorable, and import
ant, calling for men who have enthu-
siasm, sentiment, and love of coun-
try, men with willingness to serve.
Such men the department hopes will
make application.
Yours respectfully,
GEORGE WATERHOUSE.

ODD FARMING IN EGYPT.
The Native PlOw is Still Smoothed
Off Tree Fork.


Speaking of farming methods in
Egypt, Horace F. Coler, of Chicago.
ILL.,, who has made tour Of the world
il the interests of American farming
implements, and who is at the 'Ra-
leigh, said:
'One of the curious sights in the
Egyptian harvest season is modern
thrashing machine noisily working in
field adjoining that in which ma
tive thrasher is treading out the
grain. The brown-skinned tiller Of
the soil, clad in his flowing robes Of
white or the favored dull blue and
yellow combination, sitting on the
high seat of the crude thrasher, which
is dragged over the fields by yoke
OF patient camels, or perhaps couple
of buffalo COWS. appears to the
stranger who sees this for the first
time like the principal actor in a
scene worked out by an ingenious
mind for stage effect
THE native plow in Egypt is simp-
ly the forked portion of a tree, or
two pieces joined together and
smoothed off-a primitive contriv-
ance which may still be seen in use by
Cuban farmers. The thrasher is
sledge-like affair fitted with round
crushers of wood or iron, and weight
ed down from the top. The grain is
crushed into the ground and when
gathered up it is mixed with Jumps
of mud, but it is Said that never
kernel of it lost or wasted.
american farming machinery may
be found in the remotest parts of the
world and where least expected. In
what manner it got there could not
ascertain. The natives could not en-
tighten me. But am sure there is
big market for American farm imple-
ments and machinery in all parts Of
the world. And this field naturally
opens other fields"

& II the new county of Dillon clings
to the schedule of salaries as fixed
By the central executive committee, it
will not be long before the county
will be bankrupt or taxes abnormally
high. The schedule is to pay the
treasurer and auditor $500 year
each; clerk of court $500 year
and fees; sheriff $500 a year and
fees; supervisor $1,000 year.
The most important Office, that of
superintendent of education, only
pays $500 a year. Strange that peo-
pie should fix such a pitiful sum as
salary for the man who is to have the
educational work in charge.

Our business men should get to-
gether and offer a cash prize for the
largest yield of corn on an acre in
Bamberg county this year. 1t would
be great stimulus to farming, and
would be beneficial all round. In
fact, the prizes need not be entirely
cash. Other articles could be prizes
as well, and the offer might be made
for the largest and next largest
yields on one acre. The Herald will
start the list with cash subscrip-
ton of $500 if others will join in
for this purpose. &f-

We are publishing in another COL
umn letter from Mr.. George Water
house, supervisor of census for the
second district of South Carolina,
and it is to be hoped that our best
men will apply for these positions.
1t is very important that this work of
taking the census be accurately done,
and every citizen is interested in the
work, or should be. In a private
letter to US Mr.. Waterhouse says that
there should be more applications
from Bamberg. Buford's Bridge.
Midway and Fishpond townships, and
as these include all the townships in
the county except one, we suppose
there are few applications on file with
him. We do not know who has ap-
piled, but we do hope our very best
men will make application. The pay
is good, and there is every reason
why men of intelligence should un-
dertake the work.

Comptroller General Jones has sent
out instructions to the county audi
tors to the effect that they must re-
quire all taxpayers to return an item
lied list of all their property, both
real estate and personal property,
and that it must be returned for tax
alton at it's true value in money, as
the law requires. We wonder how
many taxpayers will comply with
this.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1910-01-13

Comptroller A. w. Jones is good
officer, but he places himself in an
unenviable position by acting as
president of bonding company
which goes on the bonds of officials
whose books Mr.. Jones examines.
This is a very wrong proceeding, if
true, and we trust that Mr.. Jones can
make a clear explanation.

Paper Money in Old Bank Vault.


five hundred thousand dollars in pa
per money, many packages OF bonds,
securities and leases were discovered
to-day in the vault Of the building on
the corner of Broad and State streets,
which is now being torn down by
Contractor G. w. Blake to clear the
site for the new Office building. The
vault has defied all efforts at reopen
ing for much over a half century,
but with the tearing down of the
place and gradually weakening the
structure, the big iron door finally
yielded to the crowbars to-day and
the contents of the safe were made
known in the presence of several
spectators, including a representa-
tive of The State.
1t required some hard work with
the crowbars before the door began
to yield and when it finally started to
open it was slow work before it was
opened sufficiently to allow an en-
trance. The inner door, also Of heavy
iron, was fortunately open and did
not have to be priced. Once this door
was passed there was still another of
heavy iron bar and lattice work and
fortunately again this door was not
closed and the vault searchers were
soon in the furthermost recesses OF
the vault.
A stack of papers was found on a
shelf, black with the accumulated dirt
of nearly half a century, while spider
webs hung from all parts of the vault.
On the stone floor of the vault were
three boxes and no time was lost in
getting into these, the papers on the
shelves being passed for time.
One iron box was empty. Another
had a number of papers which were
also temporarily passed, while atten-
tion was given to the third, heavier
iron box in which was found the ST.
100000 in Confederate money Of va
rious denominations. Contractor
Blake took out package and the
bills were passed around.
An examination of the papers
showed the many stacks Of paper to
consist of cancelled and expired
bonds, coupons, leases, forms of
bonds of the State of South Carolina
which had never been signed and
actually issued and other papers OF
value, in the days gone by.
Contractor Blake tried vainly be-
fore he effected an entrance to get an
offer for the contents, but while the
interest in the contents was great,
there was nobody willing to put up
any money and claim the contents of
the vault, whose door has been ex-
posed to view in an Office building
which has been continuously in use,
but whose stout doors have always
resisted opening and have safely
kept from view the contents, deposit
ed in the vault in the days that the
place was the building of the old
South Carolina State bank

The fire department needs equip
ment, and although council has ap-
propriated $50 for this purpose, is is
not near sufficient to properly equip
the department. The men volunteer
for this work and receive nothing
for their services, so it is as little as
the business men, whose property is
to be protected, can do to help in
this work. Money is needed for va
rious things for the department, and
the firemen themselves cannot be ex-
pected to furnish it. We would sug-
gest that the ladies of the town take
up this matter and see if they can
not raise a good sum to help the fire
men properly equip themselves.

A few weeks ago we said something
about the open violation of the pro-
hibition law in Augusta, and now
the Herald of that city has quit ex-
changing with us. Wonder why?
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1910-01-13

The ladies OF the city are think
ing of taking up the matter OF raising
funds to equip the fire department.
This is a worthy undertaking. and
we feel sure that every business man
in town will assist in such an under
taking. A well equipped fire depart
ment is one of the best things
town can have.

At the auction sales in BENEFITS
vile, Marlboro county, the first Mon
day in January, farming lands reach
ed record breaking prices. The av-
erage price paid at the sales was
$120 an acre, and this for farming
lands solely, it all being situated out
in the country, none of it being in
any town. No doubt this is the rec
ord for high-priced farming lands in
the State, and we are led to wonder
at what price it is returned for tax
alton. Well warrant not over SIS
an acre, if so much.

We wish Comptroller General Jones
mighty we'll in his efforts to equalize
taxes, but we are afraid conditions
will not improve much until audi
tors are appointed by the governor
as the law requires. This is one Office
that should be taken out Of the pri-
mary. 1t is pretty hard to expect a
man to do his duty when he wants
votes.

Editor Wallace. of the Newberry
Observer, had a long editorial this
week advocating abolishing free
passes to editors and requiring the
railroads to pay for their advertis-
ing. We wouldn't mind this bit.
We get to use our passes so, seldom
that the railroads get the big end Of
the bargain. We have to stay at
home and work, and have no time to
be gallivanting around on free pass.

travellers IN CrOplcal anu Soutu
American countries tell of fierce en-
counters between the peccaries and
the jaguar, the monster cat, which is
lord of the forests. The jaguar has
a fondness for a dinner of pork, but
wholesome respect for herd of
wild pigs. Whe he wants to satisfy
his cravings for pork diet he drops
from a limb of tree on to the back
of straggler in the peccary herd.
The jaguar Stays his victim and then
retreats hastily to his tree before the
herd can get at him. When the
herd grows tired of waiting for him
to come down and moves along, the
jaguar descends and enjoys his meal
at leisure. Edmund Selous, in his
romance of the animal world, has an
interesting account of fight between
a jaguar and a herd of peccaries.
The peccaries had the jaguar treed
on the limb of tree from which the
bark had rotted away. He was only
a few feet above them, and by harass-
ing and jumping at their enemy they
finally succeeded in bringing the con-
flict to the ground. After the fight
was over there were eleven killed
and wounded peccaries, but the
jaguar was literally torn to pieces

GENERAL TRADE
REPORTED BETTER

Retail trade and most crop reports are

mainly of the arrival of long delayed sea-
sonable summer weather. Aiding the i'm

Is not up to expectations, however, mas
been the offering of concessions In many
lines of dry goods and wearing apparel.
Exceptions to the improvement are in
the northwest where the critical state oil
the spring wheat and other crops aus
to drouth, is noted, and also at many
southern points, where retail trace Is
still quiet There has been a little more
confidence in ordering from jobbers and
wholesalers for fall, but in the northwest
there is a disposition to await clearer
view of the crop outlook before adding TO
the already fairly good business booked
for fall in dry goods and clothing.
Confirmation of the theory that there Is
a demand for goods at lower price IS
found in the fairly satisfactory response
In the way of orders to the general reduc-
tons noted by manufacturers OF bieacheo
cottons and gray goods this week.
In industrial lines there is little evil
dence of improvement yet to be seen. The
iron trade is fairl yactive, but pig iron
is lower and the trade feeling as to the
last half of the year is hardly as opt-
mistic as in the first six months. In
cotton goods the movement is still in the
direction of curtailment, both at leading
northern and southern centers. Wooden
manufacturing is also on short time. The
output by jewelry manufacturers is not
up to normal. Over-productior is sta

Play af Opera House

The "Prince of India was presented

The opera house was well filed when

The play was well staged and well acted
