Bamberg needs more people of tn

Bamberg needs more people OF the
right sort. Our town is growing
right along, but we should not be
content with present progress. The
growth of Bamberg was a revelation
to DR.. H. S. Hartzog when he was
here a few days ago, and it impress
es others who have been away for
several years.

The Community Club of Charles
ton has issued a letter severely crit
cising the governor for vetoing the
act providing for an election on the
question of commission form of gov
ernment for that city. While the
governor was decidedly wrong in his
veto, still we see no good purpose to
be accomplished by the issuance of
such a letter. Possibly it's relief
to speak ones mind at times, but
where nothing is to be gained by it
we believe in keeping quiet.

Confidence the Basis of Business.

w Oludu 5 NdLlOudl
Confidence the Basis of Business.
1t matters not how great or how
small the business, if it is to succeed
there must be absolute confidence in
the parties engaged in it. This is an
indispensable condition. To have
confidence, presupposes character
which is the chief asset of any busi-
ness. 1t must be founded on a rock
if it is to withstand the tempests
of time.
Why is it there is so much friction
in the commercial world to-day
complaints of high taxes, improvi-
dent use of the school funds, pension
frauds, and many other grievances?
If we ferret them out would we not
find the main cause of the discon-
tent, to be lack of confidence? The
laws are not properly enforced,
this is the beginning of the trouble.
One laxity brings about another and
the farther it goes the worse it gets.
Every loyal citizen should exert him
self to the utmost to lessen these
evils. We should not allow our
selves to be overcome with evil. Con-
6dence must be restored if things are
to work smoothly.
The world needs men who are not
for sale; men who are honest; men
who will condemn wrong in friend
or foe, in themselves as well as in 9TH
ers; men who will stand for the right
though the heavens fall; men who
are satisfied with what they have
earned, and are willing to wear Only
what they can pay for.
It has been said the best remedy
for hard times is to cheat the doctor
by being temperate; the lawyer, by
keeping out of debt; the demagogue,
by voting for honest men; and pow
erty, by being INDUSTRIOUS.
To overcome these evils which
threaten us let every one, men, wo-
men, and children lend helping
hand, remembering that while we are
weak God is strong. In this great
conflict between good and evil, it is
not the physically strong who do the
most good, but those who are spirtu-
ally strong. When we feel our own
helplessness, then God comes to the
rescue To your knees, if you would
conquer the evil one. Who would
have believed that many large is
lands could be built up by insects so
small that they can be seen only
through a microscope. Man would
say, impossible; but nature says it
can be done. In union there is
strength.
Thousands of years ago when Chi
ma suffered severely by the depreda-
tions of barbarous tribes, she caused
her citizens to build an immense
wall for protection. Just think of
the number of bricks it took to build
that wall! Yet each brick helped to
bring rest and quiet for many years.
MANY a mickle, makes muckle.' y
However small the part you can do,
do not neglect that, for it all helps.
If you can do nothing else, pray. Why
is it that Jackson's men had so much
| confidence in him? Because he did
not trust in his own strength. He
had certain hours to pray and com
mune with God. There was silence
| in the camp when old blue Light
prayed. They trusted their leader
and fought to win.
"Ah! wife, sew on, pray on, hope on!
| Thy life shall not be all forlorn."
Into the breach, loyal citizens!

The morning mail last Friday was
several hours late on account of the
wreck at Aiken the night before, not
reaching here until about l O'Clock
in the afternoon. The mail from
Charleston was not received until the
night train. No connection was made
at Branchville in the morning, and as
a consequence passengers who wanted
to go to Orangeburg and Columbia
could not do so. 1t is high time
Bamberg was getting relief from the
present schedules of the Southern
Railway. Mail canot reach Colum-
bia in the mornings, and passengers
for local points between Columbia
and Branchville cannot reach their
destination on the morning train
The railroad appears to be ignoring
Bamberg as much as possible.

Accident at Ice Factory Results Fa-
tally for Thousands of the Finny
Tribe

A peculiar accident happened at
the ice factory Saturday when a valve
became worn and allowed the ammo
MIA in the ice machine to leak out,
driving the workmen from the build
ing and overcoming one of them who
had to be carried out. The ammonia
leaked out of the machine and into
the sewer, finding its way through
the waste water sewer into the creek
on Kamiackum street, where thous-
ands of small fish were killed.
AS the ammonia got into the water
it enlivened the fish which had lived
at the bottom of the stream so quiet
ly that few suspected the water was
inhabited The fish would get a taste
of the ammonia and rush to the sur
face of the water, where they leaped,
turned summer saults and acted like
a lot of drunken boys. Some of them
rushed to the surface and swan rap
idly with their heads out of water,
until they landed on the banks
Small boys soon heard of the
strange actions of the fish and hur-
ried to the stream, where they waded
in and threw out the larger fish with

Entertain Their Families

The "Neighborly Neighbors," a
club composed of the ladies of Sunny
side hill entertained their families
at the home of A. Windus Saturday
evening. The spacious Windus lawn
was pressed into service for the oc-
casion and the hostesses proved them
selves able entertainers. About fifty
were present and they enjoyed them
selves playing such old-fashioned
games as drop the handkerchief,
charades, etc, after which refresh
ments of ice cream and cake were
served. The "Neighborly Neighbors"
are true to their name and those
present who are not privileged, by
reason of sex, to sail under that cog
nomen, are at least thankful that
their wives or mothers are members
of the club and hope for many more
such evenings of enjoyment.

A. w. Flesher, Wife, and Nine Child
rem, of Spring Valley, Wisconsin,
Locate in Pullman. Estab-
New Industry

Pullman's population received a
healthy boost when A. w. Flesher, of
Spring Valley, Wisconsin, arrived in
the city last Friday, and at the same
time another manufacturing concern
was added to Pullman's list of enter
prises. Mr.. Flesher is the proud faith
err of nine children, ranging in age
from four to twenty-fonr, who, to-
gether with the father and mother,
will add eleven names to Pullman's
rapidly growing population. Mr..
Flesher, who is brother to Rev. j.
w. Flesher, formerly pastor of the
Methodist church at this place, came
west in quest of location for CT
gar factory. After learning of the ex-
ceptional educational advantages Of
fered by Pullman and of the desira-
bility of the city from a business
standpoint, Mr.. Flesher, without
waiting to investigate further, came
to this city and rented rooms for his
business.
AS soon as he becomes located he
will send for his family, and they
will reside in the residence on col
lege hill formerly owned by his
brother, which Mr.. Flesher has pur-

KIRKLAND GETS
ABLE TEACHERS
Milton j. Newhouse and Miss Mil
dPed Waters, Both of Pullman,
Will Teach in Kirkland High
School

Milton J. Newhouse and Miss Mill
dred Waters, both 1911 graduates
of the Washington State College,
have secured positions as instructors
in the high school at Kirkland,
| Wash, near Seattle. Mr.. Newhouse
will have charge of the classes in ag-
riculture, horticulture and manual
| training, which subjects will be
taught for the first time in the Kirk
land school Miss Waters will teach
German and Latin. The west side
school is indeed fortunate in securing
the services of two such able and
efficient instructors, both of whom
have made enviable regulations as
scholars during their four years at
the college.
Mr.. Newhouse came to Pullman
from Chicago in 1908 and entered
the high school, graduating from
that institution in 1905. After spend
! ing two years in the preparatory de-
partment at the college, he enter
ed upon four years collegiate
course, completing the course this
year, after having won honors in
almost every departmen of student
activities. His course was EconOm-
les and History, but he specialized in
agriculture and horticulture, the sub
ject of his thesis being, "A study of
the Cost of Producing Wheat in the
State of Washington. The author
| Investigated the subject thoroughly
and his findings will no doubt prove
| of immense benefit to the farmers
of the state. During the four years
of his college life Mr.. Newhouse was
| honored by being elected to numer-
Gus offices in his class and the stud
ents' assembly. He was president of
the assembly during 1901, was
editor of the 1911 Chinook, class
| presto dent, a member of five intercol-
legiate debating teams, and winner
of the $50 Stearns' debate medal.
He was also winner of a Harvard
scholarship through examination
| 1T it was impossible for him to
make use of it because of financial
reasons. Mr.. Newhouse is a member
of the local lodge of Knights of Ply
thias, and one of the most active
workers in that lodge.
Miss Waters has gained an envia-
BILE reputation as a student during
her course at the college. She has re-
sided in Pullman with her parents
Mr.. and Mrs. c. Nj, Waters, for many
years, and Pullman congratulates
Kirkland upon it's good fortune in
securing the services of the young
lady as an instructor.

AMMONIA KILLS MANY FISH

their hands. Most of the fish are
suckers but a few trout were mixed
in the lot Some suckers Is inches
long were caught and placed in fresh
water and lived.
By Sunday morning the surface of
the water was covered with dead fish
and the city authorities were con-
fronted with the problem of remov-
ing them before they became a men
ace to the health of the people Mar
shall Baymiller armed himself with
full of dead fish which were buried.
The stream was pretty we'll cleaned
out, but there are still a few dead
fish there and they are beginning to
throw off bad odor.
The damage to the ice plant was
repaired, but it had to be shut down
for time and the supply of ice on
hand was soon exhausted. AS a re-
suit many citizens failed to get their
supply Of ice this week. Manager
Curtis is doing all he can to catch up
with the demand for ice, but Thurs
day morning the storage room was
entirely empty and the plant was
making slow Roadway at supplying
the demand of the big consumers
and trying to get enough ahead to
supply the residences. 1t is hoped
that by next week there will be
enough to supply all.

Belief That Violent Exercise Perma
nently Weakens Girls Who Par
tiCipate.

That basketball is largely respon-
sible for a number of surgical Oper-
ations that have been perform ed i'll
Spokane recently and that the eyer
else is dangerous for young women
is the opinion expressed by Paul Pat
tison, prosecuting attorney of Whit
the Colfax girls team, and Endorsed
by DR., A. E. STUNT, of COlfaX. Mr..
Pattison's wife, formerly Miss Maud
Smith, one of the champion baskeJ
ball players of the ColfaX high school
few years ago, has recently sub
mitted to an operation, the second in
six months, and the injury which
necessitated the operation is laid to
basketball. In discussing this subject
Mr.. Pattison said:
Il think Mrs. Pattison's trouble
is due entirely to basketball. DR..
STUNT is of the same opinion. This he
lief is strengthened by the fact that
but one member of Mrs. PaCtison'
team, of which | was manager, has
escaped an operation, and she is suf-
fering with the same trouble rs all
the others. This is not all the evil
dence we have at close quarters. Ev-

Basket Ball Injuries Girls, Says PattiSOn

same time as the Colfax team. has
been in Spokane hospitals for an OPP
Grafton and there are scores OF cases
of young women who played basket
ball being afflicted with disorders
which necessitate an operation"
DR.. A. E. STUNT, who has attended
Mrs. Pattison, said: 81 think that
Mr., Pattison is right about that. The
very nature and makeup of women
is against such exercise as is neces-
sary for successful basketball play
lowing basketball and l am certain
of one thing-my daughter shall new
er play basketball"
This view is arousing much inter
est and some are favoring the abol-
ishing of girls basketball teams,
Medical authorities have been appeal
ed to for an opinion and the news
papers have been requested to in
vestigate the question and publish
the result of their injuries and if
it is found that displacements or 9TH
er injuries result from basketball, it
is proposed to stop the practice.
Pullman people will be interested
in this investigation. The State Col
lege has always had a girls basket
ball team and more girls basketball
teams come here from other schools
of the northwest. These games are
greatly enjoyed by the spectators but
none will wish them to continue if
it is found that they result in perma-
nent injury to the participants.

c. D. WILSON DEAD
PULLMAN MOURNS
Prominent Citizen of Pullman Passes
Away After Long Suffering
With tuberculosis

c. ID. Wilson, who for five years
was agent for the Northern Pacific
at this place, passed to his final re-
ward Tuesday after many months of
patient suffering, during which no
hope was held out for his recovery.
Mr. Wilson had suffered for years
with tuberculosis and during the
past few months there were other
complications. He underwent an OPP
Grafton on June 10, but this failed to
bring relief and he sunk rapidly
until death mercifully put an end
to his sufferings. During the many
months of suffering he was patient
and cheerful, never mumuring nor
complaining He has a host of friends
who visited him as frequently as
they were permitted to do so, and
he was always glad to see these when
they called
Mr.. Wilson was born in Kentucky
September 1, 1866. When a child
he moved with his parents to Iowa
and there he learned telegraphy, TAX
ing his first position as a telegraph
operator when only 16 years old
He came west and worked at several
places, finally giving up railroad
work and entering business at Nam
pa, Idaho, where the large Wilson
hotel was named in his honor. Being
unfortunate in business during the
paniky times he again took up rail-
road work at Walla Walla, where on
February 8, 1892, he was united in
marriage with Miss Mamie Murphy
Four children, two sons and two
daughters, were born Of this union,
and these, with Mrs. Wilson, survive
him. The children are Phillip, Beir-
Meta, Campbell and Irene
In 1896 Mr.. Wilson became sta
toin agent for the Northern Pacific
at Oakesdale and remained there I'M
til five years ago, when he came to
Pullman and held the position of sta
ton agent here until January 20,
1911, when failing health forced him
to give up the place and he went to
California, but failed to get relief,
and after visiting numerous places
seeking relief in vain, he returned to
Pullman several weeks ago and has
been confined to his bed for weeks
prior to his death.
Mr.. Wilson was a member of the
Woodm en- of the World, in which he
carried life insurance; he was also
a member of the Mystric Shrine and
the knight Templars. He was bap-
tized into the Catholic church and
stated that he was prepared and
ready to answer the summons which
he knew was about to be issued.
Few men in Pullman were better
liked or had more friends than C.
d. Wilson. He was man Of quiet
and unassuming disposition, a tire
iSSo Holhcl anu man VI hiSh
ideals. At Oakesdale, where he was
well known, everyone was his friend
and his death will cause genuine re-
greet throughout large section. The
body was shipped to Walla Walla
for interment Thursday morning. The
heartfelt sympathy of a large circle
of friends is extended to Mrs. Wilson
and the children.
