If the cotton raised in this county
lats year had all been gathered there
is no telling what the receipts would
have amounted to. Cotton Weigher
Kinard informed us last week that
he had weighed at this point more
than 1e, 900 bales, and there is plenty
more in the fields in all sections of
the county. Much of the cotton is
on the ground and can never be
gathered, however.

Bamberg Negro Cuts Another.

What have you got to do with
it," asked Golden Hightower when
he thrust knife blade into Jim
Fleming's neck Saturday night be-
cause Fleming demonstrated with
him for whipping his wife.
Fleming was sitting at table in
a restaurant owned by his brother,
Shep Fleming, when the cutting oc-
Cured. Hightower, nephew of
Jim Fleming's, had been beating
his wife. When Fleming remon-
strated HightoWer walked up to
him, asked him what he had to do
with it and plunged a knife into his
neck The edge of the knife grazed
the jugular vein and several small
arteries. Fleming arose from the
table and ran for the drug store.
He was severely wounded and bled
copiously. Staggering into the
drug store his body crumpled and
he fell as though. dead. Physicians
were summoned and made hasty
examination. The spark of life was
almost gone and they said he could
not live, but he was given a saline
solution and consciousness returned.
Both negroes are from Bamberg and
have been working in the oil mill.
Hightower is in jail and Fleming is
recovering from his wounds.-Dillon

Pig Sty Lighted by Electricity.

Electricity, generated by water
power, has so revolutionized condi-
tions on the farm of E. Burdette
Miner at Oriskany Falls, New York,
that even the pig sty is Illuminated
by incandescent burners. Lighting of
TIE pig sty came after that of the
house and barns, and is part of a
comprehensive electric system devel-
oped from water falls of a small
creek.
This power not only simplifies farm
work by milking the COWS, grinding
the feed, saving wood and pumping
water, but it has been carried into
the home to the benefit of that most
overworked of all persons, the farm
er's wife. The farmhouse is heated
with five electric radiators, while
cooking and ironing are accomplish
ed in the same way. Electricity
runs a vacuum cleaner, ventilating
fans, and the sewing machine. There
is even an electric egg beater, and an
electric cream whipper.
What Mr.. Burdette has accom-
plished at Oriskany Falls other farm
ers in other parts of the country are
doing or planning now that the posi-
bilities of water power, due to the re-
cent electrical progress, are coming
to be realized. Nearly every State in
the union has latent power which can
be turned into immense advantage for
both country and city dwellers.
: The pioneer work in connecting
water power into electrical power,
and transmitting it over long dis
tances, was done at Niagara Falls;
and it is in that section of the coun-
try that the benefits of water power
have been most evident
The tremendous force of Niagara
Falls never has been and never will
be developed to more than fraction
of it's possibilities, because most of
the water must continue to flow over
the Falls as great scenic spectacle.
But Canada and the United States,
in a treaty negotiation for the ex-
press purpose of preserving the Falls,
have also provided for industrial de-
velopment by permitting small pro-
portion of the water to be used for
power. With no damage to the seen
cry, the present power production at
the Falls will be doubled.
The Canadian-American waterways
treaty will go into force in the United
States on the expiration of the Bur-
ton law, a temporary expedient OF
congress to regulate the situation.
Since it's provisions as to diversion of
water safeguard the Falls permanent
ly, the treaty imposes no restriction,
as does the Burton law, upon the
quantity of power that may be i'm
ported into the United States from
the Canadian side
A large amount of power for which
there is no market in Canada may
therefore be transmitted to the
United States This, together with
the slightly increased water allow
ance on the American side, will
make it possible to double the pres
ent energy produced at Niagara Falls
and to distribute nearly 100000
horsepower over an area of more
than 100000 square miles.

GRIM JOKE.
Dummy Figure Hurled from Window
of High Building.

New York, April Hundreds Of
pedestrians crowded in narrow Mas
sau street in the financial district,
shrank back in terror this afternoon
when the form of a man came hurt
ling down from the oath story of
the Liberty tower building. Several
stenographers in windows on the op-
posite side of the street tainted and
some one turned in an ambulance
call.
Police officers rushed to the spot
where the figure fell and found it
to be dummy stuffed with hay, with
broomstick for a backbone and
false face to make it realistic. The
ambulance surgeon did not appreci-
ate the April FOOLS day comedy and
drove away leaving street cleaner
to gather up the debris.
We note the fact that Judge Jones
visited and captured the town Of
Bamberg, and we know that Bam-
berg is mill town. We are rapidly
coming to the conclusion that some
of the mill people are going to stand
for Judge Jones. We know that
they are because we know some of
the mill people of various parts of
tho State and We have not seen any
difference between them and any
other people and we could not see
any collar on their necks.-Florence

The answer to the druggists
question is this:
Probably they did not see It be
cause they had had no experience
in the real estate value line.
But there is another answer
which deals with the German.
He had the courage to follow up
his belief in his Judgment. That
comes always from exercising the
judgment in hard jobs and getting
on friendly terms with them. OF
laying hold of them and wrestling
with them until they are down and
you are sitting on top of the pile.
ANY job that puts you face to
face with plenty of trouble is worth
fortune, because 1t is the expe-
rience of doing tough jobs that
leads a man to fortune.
Abraham Lincoln looked at them
that way and in no part Of the
world is his birthday ever forgot

some of the business men in this

THE TOUGH JOB

TIME famous African explorer,
Henry NJ. Stanley (his name
was really John Rowlands)
knew what it meant to face a hard
situation, to perform a difficult
piece of work. In fact, he worked
on the Tough Job so much that he
began to think out the philosophy
Of It.
Here is the way he sized 1t up:
The bigger the work the
greater the JOY in doing 1t.
That whole hearted striving
and wrestling with difficulty,
the laying hold with firm grip
and level head and calm reso-
luton of the monster, and tug
ging, and toiling, and wrestling
at it, today, tomorrow and
next, until it is done: 1t is the
soldiers creed of forward, ever
forward-it is the mans faith
that for this task was he born
Don't think of the morrows
task, but what you have to do
today, and go at it,
when it is over rest tran
GULLY, and sleep Well.
Good, cheerful philosophy, isn't
1t? But what IS it all about?
Wen 1t is something like this;
Work Developer.
A good tough job gets a man
thinking. When man thinks he
is exercising the highest faculty he
possesses. And the more he exer-
cises that faculty, the more of a
man he will be pretty soon.
Now, when man gets to be
more of a man, his future is as Sc
cure as can be. Thinking that is
developed by big piece of work
soon teaches a man how to look
around. 1t is the men who do this
look around and see things-who
succeed.
A certain corner lot on Broad
way had never been built on. 1t
was surrounded by, shops and
apartment houses. an fun of plain
people and business men.
one day a man came along who
was accustomed TO look around and
see things as they are He figured
out that an apartment house on
that particular corner would pay.
He knew in his own mind why it

the hangar up at the inlet early today
and after circling over the meadows and
bay for nearly an hour, made safe
landing. After he had the great gas bag
again safely slowed away in the shed .ie
expressed himself as satisfied with the
test. The ship is the same one, with i'm
provements, in which he made flight
over the city last fall. During the trip
he met with a slight accident. which
might have proved disastrous. very few
persons saw the fight. which was started
at GAS.
Aboard besides Vaniman were his broth

Assistant George Bourrillion. Assistant

and Ralph Upsom of Akron, one of the
constructors of the ship.
Propeller Catches Hawser.
vanniman had been out half an hour
when the accident occurred. The dir
igible had performed splendidly, answer
ing the guiding hand of the navigator
instantly. Then he tried out a new
guide rope experiment. a long hawser
with a UNDERGROUND weight attached
was lowered from the balloons center
and permitted to drag in the water. In
some manner Calvin Vaniman made a
wrong move with the propellers. The
middle blade, in the string of three,
caught in the flying rope. The huge
craft shuddered. listed to one side and
came down in a wobbly descent like a
bird with a broken wing. 1t struck the
water and a portion of the understruc-
ture went under water, dana ging one

Brother in Daring Feat.
A boat in which were four men had
been following nearby, and Immediately
ran to the balloons assistance. The men
aboard risked their lives to grasp lines
thrown from the dirigible as 1t lowered
above them. When temporary repairs
had been made the balloon went aloft
once, more. Vanniman had difficulty in con-
trolling the balloon. His young brother.
while the craft was 500 feet above the
water clambered out to the end OF the
slender. propeller shaft, twenty feet from
the side Of the dirigible, to adjust the
damaged propeller.
Vaniman finally had everything ship
shape. and after circling over the bay
for a short time pointed the ship to-
ward the hangar and made landing
without further incident.
