Now that city council has started
the work, let them continue until
Main street is a slightly place. Have
the telephone and electric light poles
removed from the street, and strictly
enforce the ordinances against sweep
ing trash into the streets and putting
goods on the sidewalks, also forbid
hitching posts on the street. While
council is about it, let them make a
good job of it. We feel sure that
such action will meet with the ap-
rrovai of large majority of our cit
liens.

Negro a Wireless Centre.

Washington, Jan. "a negro
from Charleston, Marshal McLain,
says that he has been connected up
with all the wireless telephone out
fits in this country and people are
constantly ringing him up and talk
ing to him. He went to an attorney
here this morning to get an injunc-
ton against the whole proceeding.
The Washington Times has the fol-
lowing account of it:
"Marshal McLain, negro, OF 6l7
L. street northwest, called at the Of
flee of colored attorney in Four
and-a-half street this morning to get
out an Injunction against woman
who had placed his body in constant
communication with all the wireless
telephone stations in the world
There is so much talking all the
time that l can't sleep and can hard
ly hear myself Think McLain ex-
planned. I want the courts TO Or
der this woman to disconnect all the
wireless connections. Somebody IS
talking to me every minute of the
day and night
''The attorney accompanied him to
police headquarters, where a charge
of insanity was place against him by
Sanitary Officer Sroufe.
"McLain, it was learned, was for
merly an inmate of the government
hospital for the insane, but was dis
charged last July, and went to Char
lesion s. G.. He returned to Wash
ington a few weeks ago.
"He was sent to the Washington
hospital for examination by the po-
lice surgeons"

DEMOCRATS GET TOGETHER.
Conferences Paving Way for Confer.
ence January 10.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Conferences
among Democratic members are
smoothing out some of the difficulties
preliminary to the caucus of the
House on January 10. It was an
nounced to-day that the selection of
the committee on committees by the
next ways and means committee is
now assured, there being little oppo-
sition left to their procedure.
Representative Fitzgerald, of New
York, is among the Democrats hold
ing out for the vesting of such selec-
ton in the Speaker as at present, but
the endowment of that power with
the incoming ways and means COM
mittee, who are to be chosen at the
coming caucus, will be entirely in
accord with the views of Represen-
tative Clarke, of Missouri, probably
the next Speaker; Representative
Underwood, of Alabama, probably
the next chairman of the ways and
means committee, and Representa-
tive Henry, of Texas, conspicuously
mentioned in connection with the
Craftsmanship of the committee on
rules and other Democratic leaders.
The contests between Representa-
tives Kitchen and Pou, of North
Carolina, for place on the ways and
means committee has practically
been decided in favor of Mr.. Kitchen.

The Blackville Courier has sus-
pended publication. The editor, W..
w. Tyler, has moved his family back
to Georgia. Another instance of try
ing to run a paper where the support
was not sufficient. Everything is so
high these days that it takes careful
management and the hardest kind of
work to keep a paper going in most
small towns.

Fable of the Golden PlOw.

There was once Benevolent Fairy
who was accustomed to doing Good
Deeds in Whimsical Ways. One day
she was flying across the country to
attend a meeting of the A. o. B. F.,
when she noticed a Farmer laboring
in the Fields. His home was At
tenuated and Decrepit and his plow
was Heavy and Old-Fashioned. Often
he would pause and wipe the sweat
from his brow. Plainly he was hav-
ing Hard Time.
The Benevolent Fairy watched him
a moment and observed his Haggard
Look and his general air Of Misery.
Suddenly an Idea came to her-to
make this man Rich, so that he would
no longer have to delve and struggle
to exc out a Bare Living. So she
swooped down and touched his plow
with her hand-she was, Of course,
invisible and instantly it was chang
ed to Solid Gold. Then, with an
amused but kindly backward glance,
the Benevolent Fairy went on her
way.
A year later, remembering the oc-
currence, she flew over to see how the
Farmer was enjoying his Good For
tune. She found him in the Fields,
plowing laboriously, and, if anything,
he and his surroundings looked Mean
er and More Miserable than they had
before. Much surprised, the Fairy
flew closer, just in time to hear him
murmur:
81 wish this ding-busted plow
wasn't so heayy!"
The Benevolent Fairy eyed him
Pityingly-then she once more touch
ed the plow with her wand, and it
again became a thing of wood and
iron. Then she flew away, and the
Farmer resumed his Toll.
After all, are there not some folk
who would die of thirst adrift on a
river?-Lippincott's Magazine.

Kill More Than Wild Beasts.

The number of people killed yearly
by wild beasts don't approach the vast
number killed by disease germs. No
life is safe from their attacks. They're
in air, water, dust, even food. But
grand protection is afforded by Elec-
trio Bitters, which destroy and expel
these deadly disease germs from the
system. That's why chills, fever snd
ague, all malarial, and many blood
diseases yield promptly to this won
derful blood purifier. Try them and
enjoy the glorious health and new
strength they'll give you. Money
back, if not satisfied. Only soc. at

Til Baptist Courier has announced
that after January 21st it will not
accept any more contracts for patent
medicine advertisements. We are
glad to note this action on the part
of the Courier, and we wish that not
only every religious weekly but that
every secular paper in South Carolina
would take similar action.

Those towns in South Carolina
whose population has been announced
by the census department are not
at all satisfied with the count of the
government. We would remind
them that in this case we are not as
big as We feel. Frankly, however,
we have little confidence in the ac-
curacy of the census figures.

The Walterboro Press and Stand

opportunity to cast their lot with
Bamberg, and their decision ought
to be satisfactory.

There are now seven banks in
Bamberg county, and yet this is one

The combined deposits are nearly
half million dollars. When we came
to Bamberg ten years ago there were
only Two banks in the county.

If the legislature will give us bl-

ucation and secure equal returns of
property for taxation, they will do
well. However, to be frank, we don't
expect the body to do anything with
either.

During the past year 393 new

The people Of South Carolina voted
in favor of biennial sessions of the

SPORTS AND
THE STAGE
BY LEON PRYOR
VIM. McCABE.

To be manager is one thing, to
be a performer is another; but to be
both requires energy and hard study
in both lines to satisfy the taste of
the managers of opera houses
throughout and the public which
pays their shining dollars to witness
the endeavors of such a combination.
Hence we have in Mr.. William Nc
Cabe and his splendid company
number that the public went wild
over. Manager McCabe surrounded
himself, this past season, with SIX
teen artists of worldwide reputation,
and travelled from coast to coast with
much success.

AND HIS NAME WAS JACK

Jack Johnson, the pug has sailed
away,
so as to be in London on Corona
tion Day;
His wardrobe was grand and money
long
And his name is a hit in any old
song.
Just for sport he took over two auto
mobiles,
A driver and three trainers; gee,
that's big spiel,
And lust as he said he sure would
meet
All of the crown heads in London's
Elite
Jack is black which is all very true,
But his ways are white, what's that
to you?
And I'm glad to see him such big
to do,
Because he's good sport through
and through.
And as champion l wish he could
stay
Until the black hairs on his head
turned gray.
Jack has his faults and all like that
But look at the dope he has under
the hat.
And as man he's a fighting gun,
Envied by every white mans son
And let us all hail him as king,
For he dominates ever the great
prize ring.
And while he's abroad l hope he'll
take advice,
Don't buck Monte Carlo with pair
of poker dice.
And if he should get broke at this
game of vice,
I'll bet the same bee won't sting
him twice.

Free Colored Americans Here to Stay.
1t is indeed refreshing to read words
like the following from the Darlington
Is. c. News and Press:
1.-The Negro is here to stay. not as a
slave or under conditions in which he
could be governed as in state OF
slavery. but as free individual. and
his propensity to crime can he removed
only by means which operate for his
uplift." And we add, just like any
other race of people.

The one time aspirant for the

some of the good boxers of class, as
he is one of the most capable in the
