to the condition of crops In. South
Carolina, and It's Bamberg corre-
spondent gave the following report
of the crop conditions in this county:
Bamberg, July 15.-The present
outlook for full cotton crop in this
section is decidedly encouraging.
With the exception of a few sections
above Denmark and around Lees ana
possibly a few other small localities,
the crop i. the best in five years. Inc
stand is for the most part good, ana
generally speaking the seasons nave
been most favorable. In the 1mmedl-
ate vicinity of Bamberg the seasons
have been almost perfect. The clay
lands are all covered with large nne
crops. but the surprise Of the season
has been the unusually splendid cot
ton to be found on the sandy lands;
With a continuation of the seasons so
far experienced Bamberg county Will
be rich with cotton this fall. 1t Is
exnected that the crop will be earlier
than last year, the crop being much
further advanced.

Father and Children Drown.

St. Louis, July 16.-Frank Ducie-
vile, Al years old, drowned to-day
with his son and daughter, Thomas
and Mary, 3 and 13 years old, re-
respectively, in his arms while a
crowd on the Mississippi river bank
restrained the wife and mother, VINO
tried to leap in after the struggling
trio.
While the parents were partaklng
of luncheon, seated on the river oank'
the children were allowed to sit in a
skiff. The boy, unmindful of the
fathers caution to remain seated,
stood up in the boat and overturned
it. The father dove in where the
children were seen to go down and
he reappeared on the surface for an
instant with one of the children in
each arm, but thus handicapped was
unable to swim with them and was
drowned before others who sought to
aid them could get to them.

HIDDEN MONEY RECOVERED.
Gaynor and Greene Concealed Nearly
a Million in Assets.

New York, July 14.-Three-quar-
ters of a million dollars has been
recovered from the concealed assets
of Gaynor and Greene, who de-
frauded the government Of $2,O00,-
900 in Savannah harbor dredging
contracts in 1897 according to a dis
patch from Washington. This was
developed by inquiries at the depart
ment of justice yesterday.
E. I. Johnson, an expert account
ant, and United States District At
torney Marion Erwin, of Savannah
Georgia, are responsible for the re-
covery.
Most of the funds recovered were
in bonds and stocks. More than ST.
100000 was in cash. These assets
were found in New York, Philadel-
phia, Chicago and Denver. Some
bonds were located in Paris, but they
could not be recovered.
Johnson and Erwin have been
searching for these assets for IL
years.

What Should He Do?

The esteemed Bamberg Herald,
which seems to try to find all kinds
of ways to cuss out Gov. Blease, con-
tains the following:
"Has anybody noticed that the
present governor of South Carolina
has had nothing whatever to say
about the railroads, and he has done
nothing against them. He seems to
want to tackle the cotton mills and
most everything in sight, and he lets
the railroad corporations severely
alone. Is there reason for thls?'
It seems that the Herald wants to
damn Blease if he does, and damn
him if he don't.
But before going any further Will
the delightful and charming knight
of the Herald tell us what he wants
the governor TO do to the railroads!
Does the Herald want the governor
to put a stop to the issuing OF free
railroad passes to newspaper editors
in exchange for advertising?
Tell us about it, dear Brer knight
-Orangeburg Sun.
Don't want him to do thing to
the railroads or to anybody. We
have no suggestions to make. Only
wondered why he didn't jump on the
railroads, as he seems to be "agin'
corporations generally.

JOKE ON THE COP.
Kicked a Bomb Thinking it Was a
Football.

New York, July 14.-As he was
leaving a Brooklyn police station
early to-day, Sergeant Michael Lane
espied an object on the sidewalk
looked like a rubber football. He
stepped back few steps, got a run
ming start and gave the supposed ball
a kick. It was a bomb. The sergeant
fell to the street unconscious and
every window in the station house
was shattered. The sergeant was re-
moved to the hospital in an uncon-
scious condition. Detectives who ex-
amined the fragments of the bomb
said it contained enough powder to
blow up a city block.

With the coming of the new rail-
road, Bamberg will take on addl-
tional growth, and We will prosper
just in proportion to our efforts. But
we will never have the town we
should if we sit down and wait for
things to come to us. We must be
up and doing all the time. We don't
know of any town in the State which
has a better future than Bamberg,
but we we need more unity of pur-
pose and public spirit. Too many OF
our business men who are making
their money here never do anything
for the progress of Bamberg but are
content to let Others spend their time
and money for the public good while
they reap the benefits. This is a
mighty poor spirit.

South Carolina Manufactures.

Manufacturing is not an unknown
art in the South, although that seems
to be the notion entertained in some
sections of the country. The census
bureau has just issued bulletins
showing that millions of dollars are
invested in manufacturing plants in
Charleston, Greenville, Columbia,
and Spartanburg.
Columbia leads in the capital in
vested-s7,705,O00, an increase OF
62 per cent. in five years. The cost
of materials used in 1909 was 3d.
$4,000, wages and salaries amount
ed to $1,1S5,000, miscellaneous ex-
penses were s462,000, and the value
of products was $5,s72,000. The
average number of officials was 23S
and of employees, 2,522.
Spartanburg had sc manufacturing
establishments in 1909, gain of but
one in five years, but the capital in
creased from s2,S69,000 to $4,471,'
900 and the output from $2,12S,0OO
to s3,276,O60. With an increase OF
only 49 per cent. in wages, the value
added by the process of manufacture
increased 104 per cent. over that OF
10 years ago.
In Charleston, 116 establishments
with a capital of s6,573,000 used ma
terials worth s4,229,00O, paid sal
aries and wages amounting to ST..
408, 900, and turned out products
worth $6,951, 900. There was little
expansion in five years, the increase
in capital being 13 per cent. and II
value of output 16 per cent. The av'
erage number of officials and wage
earners in 1909 was S,299.
Greenville has made considerable
gains in manufacturing since 1904
It had, in 1909, Al establishments
employing an average Of 1926 per
sons, who received s464,000. The
capitalization was s1,930,O00, a de
crease of per cent, but the output
was $2,142,000, a gain Of 2S pei
cent, while the value added by the
process of manufactures was $914,
900 or SO per cent. more than ii
1904.

Proves Himself q bad Man."

spartanburg, July 17.-For no
other reason apparently than to show
he was a "bad man." Lucas Free
man, a tough negro, who has been in
trouble on more than one previous
occasion, shot Bill Kinsler, also a
negro, in the breast in front of Kins-
ler's sisters house in Ramsay's row
back of the Carolina, Clinchfield &
Ohio railways yards.
The shooting was done about 9
o'clock Sunday night, and Kinsler
died about 1 o'clock this morning.
Freeman fed and took a north
bound train, but was arrested at Hen
dersonville early this morning and
brought back here this evening by
Capt. Moss Sears of the police de-
partment.

The Bamberg Herald says that
Governor Blease has never done any
thing against the railroads. What
does the Herald want the governor to
do to the railroads. = What crimes
have they committed that he should
swat them?-Orangeburg Times and
Democrat.
We didn't say the railroads had
committed any crimes or that the
governor ought to 'swat" them. His
action in leaving them alone was so
noticeable, however, that we Won
dered if there was a reason, as he
seems disposed to Jump on almost
everything.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1911-07-20

The outlook for a fine crop this
fall is indeed promising, and ou1
merchants and business men should
begin their efforts to induce farmers
in all the surrounding sections to
bring their cotton to this market fol
sale and to buy their supplies in
Bamberg. Our merchants carry nice
lines of goods but they don't tell the
people about it by advertising and
otherwise, and business will moi
come to your town or your store
these days unless you go after it
Let US wake up as a town, and reap
the reward which will be ours If We
only use the proper effort.

What He Wanted.

"Now this car,' said the agent
calling Billup's attention to a hand
some Limousine in the corner, els a
dandy. It runs so smoothly you
wouldn't know you were in it. Rides
Just like a rocking chair
"What do you think I am, an es-
caped inmate of an old ladies homer
demanded Billups. 81 want a car
that I'll know I'm in when in it, and
when I go out looking for rock
ing chair I'll go to furniture store
and not to a garage. ."-Harper's
Weekly.

The board of penitcntiary direc-
tors has put it square up to Blease in
the matter of abolishing the hosiery
mill. If he wants to get rid OF it,
he'll have to pardon the convicts
working therein. The letter of the
board to the governor is a most
convincing one, and shows conclu-
sively that this talk about the hosiery
mill being such nuisance is all rot
The sympathy racket is being worked
for political effect.

CHURCH BUILT IN A DAY.
Knoxville Church Celebrates Fourth
in a Novel Manner.

Knoxville, Tenn, July 5.-About
100 members of the North Side mis-
sion, of the Broadway Baptist church
celebrated the Fourth of July by
erecting a house of worship in which
a service was held last night.>
The material was assembled on the
ground yesterday, and this morning
at $3.50 o'clock the members began
the construction. At 6 o'clock last
night the, building was completed,
and the electric lights turned on at
1880 o'clock.
The building will seat about 300
people.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1911-07-20

Why can't Bamberg have a great
white way as we'll as other towns?
Arches along Main street would be
8 big advertisement for the town,
and the cost is not prohibitive. But
the merchants must cooperate with
the board of public works in order
to put in the arches. The electric
light and telephone poles should also
be moved off the street, at least
through the business section. They
are very much in the way on account
of the street, being so narrow, and
very unsightly as we'll.

Blease seems to think the South
Carolina penitentiary should be a
pleasure and health resort. Well
that's not to be wondered at, for the
governors sympathy for the criminal
classes is we'll known.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1911-07-20

Governor Blease says that near
beer saloons have been introduced
into this State and that they are as
bad as fake social clubs. He has or
dered the dispensary constables and
other officers to look after these
places and close them up. The gov
ernor should remember that these
near-beer saloons are but the logical
result of his action in standing by
his friends and thereby bringing
the law into contempt.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1911-07-20

UNEASY lies the head that wears
a crown With the mention OF T.
I. Manning for governor and Swear
ingen to succeed Tillman in the Sen
ate, we are rather of the opinion that
the Hon. Coleman Lightweight Blease
did not sleep so well recently.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1911-07-20

The governor sent out letter last
week to the county dispensary boards
telling them that they would be re-
moved if they bought whiskey from
the liquor houses which had defraud-
ed the State. The boards show dis
position to obey his order, so we
must conclude that a job on the
board is rather tempting.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1911-07-20

Seriously, does anybody believe
that Blease could get such an en-
dorsement from the bar of his own
State as Fielder did from the bar OF
Georgia? Fielder may be CROOK
but evidently those who know him
hest do not believe so.

We would like to hear from the
business league on the proposition to
submit the question of sewerage
system to the people of Bamberg.
That body should take up the mat
ter and get it in shape to present to
the citizens of the town. Nothing
that we know of would do more for
the growth of the town.

Thursday, July 20, 1911.

Of course Bamberg needs a sewer
age system, and it would be wise
investment for our citizens. Let's
get the matter in such shape that
the people can vote on bond issue
for this purpose.

Lyceum Course of Lectures.

An instructive series of lee
lures are being given under the
auspices of the Chicago Daily
Socialist. The next lecture will
be given at the Court House on
Saturday at s o'clock. Frederick
G. and May Strickland will dis
cuss the organization of the So
cialist Party.
To those who are interested in
the study of the development of
n political party this meeting will
be well worth while. To watch
the growth Of a party while it is
in the making is of more vital
Importance than to look back up
on one that has become history.
Mr.. and Mrs. Strickland are
well qualified to speak upon this
subject. They have been active
workers in the Socialist Party for
years. Mrs. Strickland was twic
elected State Secretary of the
Socialist Party of Indiana. Mr..
Strickland is a member of the
Commission for Social Service
which was elected at the last
American Christian Convention.
He is a minister and gave up
the pastorate of one of the lead
ing churches to preach the gospel
Of Socialism.
