South in Saddle.
morrow

Judson Welliver, Washington cor
respondent, says that the South is
in the saddle now insofar as govern
mental affairs are concerned and Of
fers the following as proof of it:
The president is a native of Vir-
ginia.
The speaker of the house is ma
tive of Kentucky.
The leader of the house is a ma
tive of Kentucky.
''The ten members of the cabinet
include one native of Texas, zone of
Georgia, two of North Carolina, one
of Kentucky. Two were born under
the British flag, and the other three
are natives of Illinois, New York and
New Jersey.
THE chairmen of most of the i'm
portant committees of both senate
and house are natives of the South
and elected from it.
''The chief justice of the Supreme
court is a native of Louisiana.
aside from all this, the South is
setting, in the general personnel of
executive positions that are filled by
appointment, a vastly larger proper
ton of big and influential posts than
il has held since the cival war

He was q believer in good roads
before, but since his trip to the noun
tains recently and seeing the fine
macadam roads around Charlotte,
Mr.. C. w. 'Rentz is enthusiastic on
the subject He views the matter
from a business stand point, and that
is the view all should take of it, for
no county can ever prosper as it
should until distance is lessened and
farmers can market their crops with
ease by reason of good roads TO the
county seat. A bond isue of $780,
900 for wide, permanent highways
would be the best investment the
tax payers of this county could make.
True we are doing we'll with. the
amount of money available, but it is
out of the question to expect our
officials to build real highways with
the means they have, and the money
cannot be raised except by bond is
sue. Then the present income could
keep up roads very nicely.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1913-08-14

We have asked Mr.. G. w. Rentz
to give US some articles on good
roads, in view of his seeing the fine
roads around Charlotte recently. and
we hope he will do so. We propose
to inaugurate campaign for bond
issue in this county for good roads,
and we invite any taxpayer to discuss
the subject, either for or against.
Good roads pay. This is fact no.
body can dispute, and the better they
are the more dividends they pay. A
farmer who lives fifteen miles from
Bamberg can only bring say two pales
of cotton to market with two mules.
With a real first-class hard road he
could bring twice the load with a
great deal less wear and tear on his
team and wagon. The question is
often asked: "Where doall the horses
and mules sold in Bamberg each year
go to-" True this city is the dlstrl-
buting point for large territory
for live stock, but many of the ami
mails sold here wear out too quick
because of bad roads.

KNIFE REFORMED BANDIT.
Criminal Tendencies Gone After "a
Years of Prison Service.

BLACK Bart Holzhay, sentenced
to life at Marquette prison in 1889
for highway robbery, has been re-
leased, after having served "a years.
Holzhay's exploits in the woods OF
northern Michigan and Wisconsin riv-
aled those of Jesse James. He held
up stage coaches and waylaid travel
lers. When received at the prison he
was illiterate. ill-kept, and gave the
prison authorities much trouble.
A surgical operation changed his
character completely, and since it was
performed he has been model pris-
oner, studying hard and gaining a
fair education.

Laurens, S. c., August ia mob
OF 2,0G0 men tonight at 11.30
o'clock lynched Richard Puckett, a
young negro charged with criminal
assault.
After oyerpowering the sheriff and
his deputies the mob broke down two
doors of the jail, one to & steel cage,
and securing the negro carried him to

station. where he was strung up to a
BEAM Several hundred shots were
fired into his body The mob then
quietly dispersed. Just before he was
killed the negro denied his guilt.
Sheriff John V. Owings said tonight
that the negro had confessed to him
during the afternoon. The conTes-
sion. it is said, was not made known
to the attacking crowd.
At lonely spot on country road,
two miles from Laurens, at IL
o'clock this morning, the negro at
tackled a we'll known young woman
of the county. He dragged her from
a buggy as she was driving to Laur-
ems. The negro was crouched under
some bushes, and after she had pass
ed, he ran and ordered her to halt.
She called to her brothers. who were
following in another buggy. The he
gro fled. She drove on to Laurens
and stopped at the home of R. A.
Cooper. solicitor. No general alarm
was given, but a search was begun by
the officers. Going just beyond the
place of attack the officers found sew
eral negroes at a house. Richard
Puckett walked away from the house
and Solicitor Cooper directed that he
be held. When taken before the
young woman she could not positively
identify him. The negro was carried
to Laurens and placed in Jail under
a heavy guard.
At I o'clock tonight bloodhounds
from the State Penitentiary were
brought to Laurens and placed on the
trail. The dogs trailed the negro
from the scene of the crime to the
house where he was found By the
officers.
At 9 o'clock about fifty men sd
vanced on the Jail. Sheriff Owings
refused to give up the prisoner. They
broke down wooden door in the

in a steel cage. The door was soon
battered down. The sheriff and his
deputies were overpowered.
The body was left tonight swing

CHILDHOOD A VARIED PERIOD
From Twenty Years, In tho Human Race, 1t Grades Down to a Few
 Weeks Among tho Birdt,.

The childhood of animals varies with the total length of life, with the size, and especially with the position, in the life scale. Long lived animals, large animals and highly developed animals usually have long youth. The educated human being requires 20 years to grow up; the savage about 15; the higher monkeys-the gorilla and the orang-12 to 14 years; the baboon, years, and the small mon. keys. about half that time. The less intelligent cat race has a youth of but or years among the larger kinds. The vegetable-eating animals, mostly of small intelligence, grow up quickls. the buffalo and all the big antelopes and deer having only about 9 years of childhood, and the chamois somewhat longer, although the giraffe has 5 or 6 years. The elephant, the largest of aand animals and one of the most intelligent, is not grown up until 20 to 27 years old All birds have a short youth, looking after themselves In 3 weeks to 3 months, but becoming grown up in 1 to years. Many rep tiles-like the tortoise, crocodile, and alligator-seem to grow all their lives. Certain other creatures have short adult period-the mayfy, for instance, spending years on the bottom of . pong. and living but few hours aft CT emerging fully grown from its skin covering. Still more extreme is the American cicada, which gropes IF years underground, and lives but 3 or weeks after emerging.

Even in town the commuters wife had been subject to violent likes and dislikes. but in the suburbs her preju. dice seemed intensified.

 "On what do you base your esti mate of their character?" her hus- band asked.
 "Fences," said sbe. Just look at MT. Browns fence. He has kept all the ugly posts and crossboards on his own side and has presented the smooth finished surface to us. But you don't catch MT. Smith doing that. No, indeed. He looks out for num- Der one and keeps the nice side for himself, while we get all the rough patchwork"
 "But that is not Smiths fence." her husband argued. "It is ours"
 "Ours?" she echoed. How does that happen?"
 "It happens through legal statute which provides that every man who wants his property fenced in must build part of the fence and keep the ragged edges on his own side. That ls tho law"
 "How perfectly ridiculous" she said. If we continue to live in the country isn't there some way 1t cap be changed?"
