Electric Novelties Ordered.

The commissioners of'public works
have instructed Superintendent Love-
Joy to lay in small stock of elec-
trical necessities for the household.
This stock will include pressing irons,
toasters, sewing machine motors, md
other electrical appliances which will
lessen labor around the house and
make the housekeepers of Bamberg
less dependent on their servants. A
display and demonstration of these
things will be arranged for as soon

to walk through that country to this
day-32 years after. The hanging
of John Moore is remembered. A
monument has been built to the girl
who died defending her chastity. If
you happen in Pickens county and
strike one of the old timers and ask
him about that 80 mile ride over
the mountains to hang John Moore
with the Greenville and Spartanburg
mountaineers helping, probably you
will see hard look come into his
eyes and he will tell you, confidenti-
ally, that he had never ceased to re-
gret that John Moore had but one
life to lose, the one neck to stretch.
And going home from the hang
ing was George, colored citizen,
riding a mule and deeply impressed
by the proceedings. The lynching Of
a white man was unusual.
Overtaking George came two white
men, one of whom reined up.
George" he said, I'VE don't
know what will come of this You
want to be careful and keep your
mouth shut about what you have
SEEN"
"Lawsy me, Mars Andy" said
George, "sure I amt goin' to say
nothin'. To tole you the truf,
think myself Mr.. Mo- got of mighty
light"

Will Day Current Pay?

Warm weather will be coming on
before many months, and the people
of Bamberg will be clamoring for
day current, as usual every summer.
If some one will take up the matter
and induce enough citizens to use
day current so that actual expenses
can be paid, the board of public
works will be glad to put on the day
current, but they cannot do so at a
loss. The plant belongs to the citi-
zens and should be run in their in
terest, but unless the revenue from
a day current will pay expenses, the
board would not be warranted in
putting it on.

Train Service Not Improved.

The train service for Bamberg has
not yet been improved, although the
business league has taken up the
matter with the railroad commission,
who in turn have put the question
up to the railroad company. Tues
day morning the Augusta train was
very late, and as consequence no
connection was made at Branchville
for Columbia.

Spartanburg, Feb. 28.-Dr. Walter
Sorrels, the meat and milk inspector

New Engine for Light Plant.

At a meeting of the commissioners
of public works, held last Thursday
evening, it was decided to buy an
other engine for the electric light
plant. This will be an additional en-
gine, and will be rs horsepower. The
present eninge is $50 horse power,
and the smaller engine will be used
for the light load of the plant. This
engine, which will be of the direct
connected type, can also be used
for day current when the citizens of
the town want it bad enough to sup
port it.

Thursday morning of last week
the dwellings of Mr.. H. w. Walker
and that of Mr.. j. B. Smith at Mid
way were destroyed by fire. The
fire started in Mr.. Walkers house,
and caught no doubt from the stove
fue. Most of the furniture, however,
was saved, except the kitchen stove
and other articles in the kitchen.
The flames spread to Mr.. Smiths
house next door and it was soon in
ashes. Mr.. Smith saved all his furn-
iture and household goods, but as
there was no means Of fighting the
fire, nothing could be done to save
the building. The loss of each will
be about $1,000, and we understand
that there was no insurance.

the flames started from sparks from
the dwelling Mr.. Smoak turned out
his stock, but three of his horses got
on the Seaboard, Air Line track and
two were killed outright and the
other so badly injured that it had
to be killed. He lost quite lot of
corn and fodder, etc., making the
loss very heavy on Mr.. Smoak, with
little insurance.

Nothing? Hell, listen.''
Through the darkness, along the
long rock bottomed road leading in
to the town, came the sound Of the
steady Gathering of the hoofs of
horses-many horses, ridden at a
slow gallop. Presently into the town
they came-six hundred or more of
them, mountain men riding two and
two, silent, sitting on their horses
steadily. Many Of them were kins-
men and neighbors and of the clan
of the girl whose throat had been
cut. They had got the rumor through
the mountains that John Moore was
to get bail. They had come to see
about that and on their way had
gathered more men from upper An
derson and Greenville and Spartan
burg. Wherever in the mountains
they stopped and told man the
case, that man began with eager
hands to cram the bit into the mouth
of his horse and throw on and buckle
his saddle and look to his firearms; !;
and his wife and daughters urged
him to make haste and to bring them
back piece of the rope. They want
ed to look at it. And word was sent
up the side roads and boys and old
men as fast as they could throw their
legs over saddles and get their feet
into the stirrups came pelting along.
The word had gone to the mountains
and down the hills the mountain
men came.

THE DRUG STORE CASES,

The SIX drug store cases that We're
brought here from the second judicial
district, which We're up for trial last
week, resulted in two disagreements.
two acquittals and two that wore not
tried at all. 1t is plainly to be seen
that these cases were the outgrowth
Of the political fight which has been
going on in Ramsey for some 1ime.
The evidence offered by the state was
not sufficient in either of the cases
tried to convict a boot-legger or a
blind pigger of maintaining a com
mon nuisance" as charged in these
complaints. In addition to the insult
ficient evidence, the bungling methods
used on the part of Assistant Attorney
General zuger was enough 10 convince
the average jury of the innocence of
the defendants In one case the assist
ant attorney general argued before the
jury that che was not in sympathy
with the prohibition law, and that he
believed that it made more criminals
and was the cause Of more perjury be-
ing committed than any other law
and had spoken against it on several
occasions. A frank statement to
make before jury and cxpet a convic.
tion. When the police power of the
state is revoked for revenge it usually
results in boomerang to those who
set the machinery in motion-and il
should.-Lakota Observer.

WELL NIERITED REBUKE

The Edmore Herald-News hands the
following package to one of the So.
ialist lecturers who is touring the
country, dealing out propag ,,da about
which he knows nothing arI ahnsiny
every phase of the government without
suggesting possible remedy.
Last Thursday evening a fellow by
the name of Bowen, and who claimel
to be Socialist, gave quite TRADE
OH one OF our street corners. His psin-
cipal aim seemed to be to abuse such
men as Theodore Roosevelt, ana to run
down the government under which he
lives. Really, if tile fellow believes
all he said about our government, we
believe that he should move TO some
other country where he might posi-
bly, find a governments which would suit
flm. The remarks of a lady i'll the
small audience expressed our sent-
ments exactly, when she said that he
ought to be rotten-eg9ed for abusing
the goyernment under which he lives
as he did. We will take time to quote
just one sentence which lie uttered,
and we believe that that will be suf-
ficient to convince the fair. minded
IAA1AAAhAiS 44luii VI "OIIulI IldG llc Is IL
liar. This is what he said: "Theo-
dore Roosevelt was called upon to adj
dress a certain Sunday school class,
and he told them that they should
learn to shoot so that when they grew
up they would be able to go to some
other country to shoot off other little
Sunday school children.'' Does any
person really believe that Roosevelt
said such a thing, or anything that
could be interpreted to mean such a
thing? This was fair example Of his
argument, if that is what it could be
called. We are always ready and will
ing to listen to a far argument or
speech from the advocates Of any po-
htical party but to listen to such slush
as this fellow dealt out is enough to
make one sick.

TELLS OF NORTHWESTERN DE.
VELOPMENT LEAGUE IN AN
INTERESTING MANNER.

Hoke Smith, the Great Northern de-
velopment agent who recently visited
Devils Lake has the following account
in Leslies:
Out in the far northwest there is oc-
curing notable awakening to the ne
cessity Of real agricultural develop
ment. Mining and stock raising must
give way to farming as chief indus
try. The era of cultivation is at hand.
The organization of the Northwestern
Development league at Helena, Mont,
May +, 1911, marked the beginning of
a determination upon the part of lead
ing commercial men of seven states
to transform a vast area of varied ag-
ricultural possibilities extending nearly
5000 miles from the Twin Cities to the
Pacific coast. Besides Minnesota, the
two Dakotas, Montana, Idaho, WASH
ington and Oregon, this exploitation
movement embraces the territory of
Alaska, covering an area that nearly
equals all the rest Of the United States.
Louis w. Hill, president of the Great
Northern railway, is strategic general
in this greatest publicity movement of
its kind ever started anywhere on the
face of the earth.
This does not indicate hy any means
that it is a one-man movement. Nor is
it a movement with single corpor-
alton back of it. 1t is too big to be
encompassed in that way. However,
this comparatively young railway gen
ius is big cog in the wheel He con-
eeived unique plan to populate the
northwest with desirable masters Of
the soil, lured from the European land
patches by sending to them bright
prospects of American life in the form
OF moving pictures-which, like figures,
never lie. At the same time, the chief
OF the Great Northern railway system
expects to establish flank movement
upon the Dominion of Canada "immi-
grafton baiters' that will stem the
tide OF homeseekers that has been
drawn out of the states up through
Minnesota and across into the Canad-
ian wheat country by the convincing
dolIars-and-cents talk of the land
agents.
