How to Find Fault.

Find fault, when you must find
fault, in private; and some time
after the offense, rather than
at the time. The blamed are
less inclined to resist when they are
blamed without witnesses; both
parties are calmer and the accused
party is struck with the forbearance
Of the accuser, who has seer the
fault and watched for a private and
proper time for mentioning it.

self Instantly.

st. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 15.-H. B.
Whitmore, 6S years old, leaped from
a window in the eighth story of the
Marquette Hotel to the pavement to-
day, killing himself instantly and
creating a small panic among pedes-
trians. Dependency over his con-
tinued illness and the death of his
wife, who was the daughter of Geo.
Knapp, one time publisher of the St.
Louis Republic, are given as the
causes for the act.
Whitmore was member of a
wealthy St. Louis family and for a
number of years was secretary Of the
Merchants Exchage. He retired
about eight years ago and shortly
following the death of Mrs. Whit
more four years ago, he was strick-
en- with partial paralysis.
He left a sanitarium to-day and
went to the Marquette hotel where
he was assigned to a room on one of
the upper floors. Fifteen minutes
later he hurled himself to the pave
ment. Whitmore was a native of
Newton, Mass.

Mr.. Brabham on Taxes.

Editor Bamberg Herald:-I am
writing the Press and Standard to-
day that the taxes in my section are
higher than they have ever been. /
am now paying five times as much
on the same property as I did when
I paid in Barnwcll county. If all the
farmers are paying equal to myself
the farms of Bamberg county are
paying over s50,0O0.OO this year. 1
saw the tax receipt of a poor renter
a few days ago, whose entire pos
sessions were worth less than $100.
His taxes with no penalty were
$5.35, equal to at least 8 per cent.
on what he actually had.
A widow owning a small farm on
which in old Barnwell was taxed
for about $3.50 is paying $1,000 to
Bamberg.
There is a howl going up down
here. Something is wrong and
something must be done. When a
people are taxed from 2 to 8 per
cent. on what they possess to sup
port a government, then the limit
has been reached. Taxes must be
lowered by some means. No free
people are going to bear such a bur-
den when redress is in reach.
Annexing new territory is not the
proper thing. A people who fail to
rule and govern a small county have
no right to try and rule larger
county.
There is something wrong in Bam-
berg county, and it must be righted
ed. We have the power to do it,
We must and will.
You can call me hard names if
you choose, you may say that l am
not making true statements if you
care to, but put me down that l am
out for lower taxes, and shall not
surrender until I see them lowered.
1 am warning the voters. of War
ren township in these words: BE
cautious, be careful how you vote.
If you want to be taxed out of all
reason, then vote to come into Bam-
berg county. I am paying six times
higher taxes in Bamberg than 1 did
in Colleton, and, I know, and God
knows I paid taxes in both coun-
ties" A. w. BRABHAM.

HAS VERY NARROW ESCAPE.
George E. Brunson Nearly Asphyx
lated in Car at Allendale.

Allendale, Jan. 13.-Geo. E. Brun-
son, a bright 1S-year-old youth who
has been in the employ of the Geor-
gia railroad for about four months,
had a narrow escape from death last
night.
Mr.. Brunson reached Allendale
very late at night. There was no
hotel or lodging house open, so he
went to sleep in passenger car near
by. Through some mistake the gas
was turned on and the results were
that Mr.. Brunson was found uncon-
scious this morning by one of his
friends who missed him at the break
fast table. His breath was coming
in short gasps when first found.
Doctors were summoned and he
soon began to get better.
His home was in Dillon. He has a
mother and two brothers. His father
was killed several years ago while
acting as sheriff.

The Florence Times writes an edi-
torial as to the insolence of the ne
groes on the streets of that city, in
which it is stated that there are nu-
merous complaints as to young ne
gro women running into white wo-
men and children on the street. The
Times asks those who have influence
with the race to use it. Over here
we never have anything of that sort,
and we don't have to ask the leaders
of the race to use their influence
either. Some of the insolent negroes
in Florence ought to come over to
Bamberg and live awhile. They'd
90 back mighty polite, and there
wouldn't be any trouble over it. The
only ones who can regulate affairs
of this kind are the white people
and it is all in the way they manage
the negroes as to how they get along
without friction There is never
any friction in Bamberg between the
races, because the negro is made to
know his place and stay in it.

Peacemaker One of the Dead.

Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. 16.-In a
pistol duel at Raiford, Bradford
county, Saturday afternoon, j. H.
Jones and a young man by the name
of Wells were killed and A. D. An
drews was, perhaps fatally wounded.
Wells, a 2O-year-old youth, started
the trouble, while intoxicated, by
trying to run a colored man away
from his work in Andrews's grist
mill. Andrews tried to induce Wells
to leave the place, when he drew his
revolver and began firing at An
drews, who returned the fire. An
drews was hit once and Wells receiv-
ed four bullets, which caused his
death. J. H. Jones, Andrews's part
ner, was killed by Andrews while
acting as peacemaker. Andrews is
president of the Bank of Raiford.

The bill requiring the railroads
to accept mileage on trains has again
been introduced in the legislature.
It has passed the house several times
and been killed in the senate. At
one time we thought the bill should
not pass, but we have become con-
vinced that it is an unnecessary
hardship on the travelling men to
require them to 60 to the station
and exchange their mileage for tick
cts, therefore we hope the bill will
pass.

We noticed a right good cartoon in
last weeks Hampton County News.
The cartoon showed a piece of meat
labeled Colleton, around which were
gathered three hounds labeled Char
1eston, Bamberg, and Hampton.
Charleston was taking mounthful
from one side of the meat, while
Bamberg and Hampton had hold of
each end. Truly it seems that old
Colleton is to be dismembered from
all sides. There must be something
radically wrong in that county to
make so many sections want to go
elsewhere. Can Brother Smoak ex-
plain it?

A. bill to establish the Torrens
land system in this State has been
introduced in the legislature. This
system is now in force in several
States, and it has the endorsement
of the Farmers Union. We are not
familiar enough with it to discuss
it, but it must be a good thing or
the union would not be endeavoring
to have the legislature establish it.
It is claimed the system will do away
with the expense of having a lawyer
examine titles to real estate every
time a. transfer is made or, mort
gage given, the State guaranteeing
the title.

Mr.. BRABHAM AND TAXES.

We cheerfully give space to Mr..
A. W. Brabham's communication in
another column, although we do not
see any good purpose to be served by
publishing it. He talks about our
calling him hard names, etc., but we
have not done anything of that sort
nor do not intend to, no matter what
he says in discussing taxes. True,
taxes are too high, and We agree
with him that they ought to be low
cred. But how? It's easy enough
to say that taxes are too high, but
as to suggesting a remedy, that is
another matter. If Mr.. Brabham has
a remedy, We shall be glad to have
it. Our burden of high taxes is as
great as his, and to have to pay these
charges is not pleasant. Last week
we commented on the increase in our
taxes the past year.
But there is a reason for this IN
crease, and taxes have increased like
wise in every county which voted out
the dispensary and thereby cut of
large revenue. In Bamberg county
the blow was especially heavy, for
the dispensary profits paid at least
one-half of our entire county expen-
SeS.
The official records do not show
that taxes are six times as high in
Bamberg as Colleton. We have gone
carefully into the matter, and the
records do not show such a state of
affairs by any means. The fact is
that taxes are about the same in COL
Teton as in Bamberg, for while the
Colleton levy is a little higher than
ours, possibly, taken as an aver
age for the entire county, our
values are a little higher. II Mr..
Brabham will send us his tax receipts
for Colleton and Bamberg we shall
take pleasure in publishing them, for
it would be interesting to investigate
why he was charged six times as
much taxes on the same valuation
in Bamberg as in Colleton. How
such a, thing can happen when the
levy over there is higher we can't
understand. Possibly his receipts
will explain it. We have wondered
why Mr.. Brabham is so solicitous OF
the welfare of the people of Warren
township? He is a citizen OF Bam-
berg county and we have not seen his
name connected with any movement
to build up his own county, and why
he should be so active in attempting
to keep the people of Warren town
ship from annexing to Bamberg we
can't understand. It would seem that
as a loyal citizen of this county he
would have at least investigated this
matter of taxation thoroughly be-
fore going into the public prints,
when the official records do not war
rant his assertions against his own
people. Let our friend devote his
pen to building up his own county
and not try to tear it down. We are
with him against high taxes, and If
there is corruption or extravaganza
in our county affairs, let him show it
up. Well give him the space and
support him in all efforts he makes
for better government and greater
Bamberg. -
