A Wise Man,

A Wise Man.
There was man in our town.
And he was Wondrous wise:
He knew Just how and when and where
TO go and advertise
He didn't seek the country fence
And cover ii with signs
To tempt the sturdy ruralite
By telling of his lines.
He didn't scatter dodgers round.
The kind that blow away
Before the folks have time to read
What he desired TO say
He went TO see the editor
And bought a lot of space.
HIS al went to the women folks,
And that's the proper place.

Carlisle Fitting School.

President Snyder recently paid a
visit to our Carlisle School at Bam-
berg. Under the leadership of Head
master Guilds, with the cooperation
of an excellent faculty and an en-
thusiastic local board Of control, Car
Isle is growing rapidly and extending
its vital influence throughout wide
section of the State. 1t was never
in better condition than at this time.
In the matter of patronage it has
about reached it's limit with the pres
ent facilities. But the good people
of the enterprising town of Bamberg
are not going to let it stop growing.
They take pride in it as their school,
built by their generosity to render
a large service, not only to the COM
munity itself but also to their con-
tributing territory. They are there
fore "getting together" once more
to build a new dormitory to meet in
creasing demands. What the people
of Bamberg start to do, they generally
carry through.-S. in Southern Chris

PhillipS-GueSS.

Miss Adele Phillips, a popular
young lady of this city, was welded
on Saturday evening at O'Clock to
Mr.. S. D. Guess, of Denmark, the
ceremony taking place at the home OF
the brides parents, on Kendrlck

was beautifully decorated with ferns,
and presented a lovely scene when the
bride entered with the groom, the
happy young couple being preceded
by the bridesmaids, Misses Edna
Phillips, sister of the bride, and Lynn
Goolsby, of Denmark, who wore white
coat suits, white hats and carried
bouquets of pink carnations. The
bride was tastefully attired in a trav-
cling suit of cadet blue. The we'd
ding ceremony was performed by
Rev G. G. Brown.
Immediately after the ceremony,
Mr.. and Mrs. Guess left for their fu-
ture home in Denmark, where Mr..
Guess is engaged in business.
A number of friends of both young
people were present to wish happy
marriage life to the bride and groom

Burned to Death.

Last Thursday afternoon Miss Eu-
nice, a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. n.
Crider, was accidentally burned to
death, the accident occurring at the
home of her parents on the Miller
place few miles above town. 1t
appears that the young lady had
been pumping some kerosene oil from
e five gallon can and some had spat-
tered on her dress from the pump
ing. A little later she struck match
and a part of the head flew off and
fell on her when Immediately the
front of her dress burst into flames.
She was out in a small store house
near the residence at the time and
she at once ran to the house, but
her mother was sick in bed and
could not assist her in extinguish-
ing the flames. Her brothers were
at the lot right near the house and
they at once rushed in and succeeded
in tearing the burning clothing from
her body, but her injuries were such
that her death occurred the same af-
ternoon. The burial took place Fri
day afternoon at Spring Branch
church, in which section Mr.. Crider
formerly lived.

Carlisle Wins Two.

Carlisle team won the game from
the Barnwell club by the score of g
to O. The game with Orangeburg
college was quite a walk-over for the
Carlisle lads. Only seven INNINGS
were played, the final score being l9
to 7. Orangeburg scored two in their
half of the first, but Carlisle came
back with 7 in their half of this
same inning. The cold, windy wealth
er, no doubt, accounts for the large
score, number of errors being made
on both sides. But the Carlisle boys
have an eye on the ball. They Sc
cured twenty hits, Mcconnell getting
a home run, three base hit, and
two singles out of times up. Fox
worth got two base hit also. Prof.
Anderson made quite sensational
catch on second, of a drive which
looked good for a two base hit.
The next game is with Norway,
Friday. A game has been arranged
with the Wofford Fitting School team,
for Thursday, April Oath. Porter
team, from Charleston, will play two
games here about the first week IN
May.
The management wishes to thank
the people of the town for their hear
ty interest, and is trying to arrange
some good contests for the near fu-
ture. There will be no extra charges
for grandstand Friday. Come out
and enjoy the game.
The young people of the town and
Fitting School are preparing to give
a play soon to help pay for the new
uniforms.

WHEN YOUR LIVER
GOES WRONG.
Nearly Everybody Needs a Liver
Stimulant at One Time
or Another.

Nearly everybody now and then Is
annoyed with a sluggish, lazy liver or
by constipation or by biliousness.
1t is for this reason that Dodson's
Liver Tone is such good medicine
to keep always in the house.
Either children or grown-ups can
take Dodson's Liver Tone without
bad after-effects and without restric-

a reliever of constipation and liver
troubles, and entirely takes the place
of calomel.
The Peoples Drug Store guarantees
every bottle Of Dodson's Liver Tone
they sell. It costs so cents per bottle
and if you are not satisfied that it is
worth the money, they will hand your
half dollar back to you with a smile.
Don't be fooled by preparations
initiating the claims of Dodson's

money if Dodson's Liver Tone fails

BIG BLAZE IN COLUMBIA.
Several Stores and Hotel Badly DAM
aged.-Loss Over 100000.

Columbia, April 15.-Fire early
this morning in the 14OO block on
| Main street, consumed the stock of
goods of Lorick & Lowrance, practi-
cally ruined the store building,
| burned the rear of the Columbia
Hotel building and damaged the
goods and store of the Jones Crock
cry Company, entailing in all loss
of from 100000 to s150,000, par
TALLY covered by insurance. Water
and smoke damage added to the fire
loss.
The fire broke out this morning
about 4 o'clock in the rear of the
block on which the Lorick & Low
rance Company store stands and soon
the entire store and the rear of the
Columbia Hotel were in flames. The
fremen had to fight the flames down
narrow alleyway and the blaze
proved to be very stubborn one.
Cartridges and powder, which was
stored in Lorick & LoWrance's store,
exploded at frequent intervals, add
ing to the danger to the firemen and
adding a spectacular scene to the oc-
casion. After two hours strenuous
work the fire was gotten under con-
troll.
At one time a falling wall narrow
ly missed burying six firemen be-
meath the smouldering ruins. One of
the fire fighters was overcome by the
heat and had to be carried out to the
fresh air before he e.revived.
Guests in the hotel were awakened
by the early alarm of fire, and fright
ened by the explosion of the cart
ridges and the nearness of the flames
fled without waiting to robe them
selves in their day garments. Several
women escaped from the building in
their nignt clothes and were taken
across to another hotel. One man,
said to have been Mr.. Jones, an au-
ditor of the Southern Railway, jump
ed from a second-story window to the
ground aid escaped uninjured.
Most of the hotel furnishings was
either burned or damaged by smoke
and water.

The Power of Sympathy.

Soon after Phillip Brooks's death
this story was told by a woman to
whom the experience had come. She
had to face open and public disgrace.
She felt that she was unable to stand
the scorn of the world, and therefore
decided that she would commit sui
eide. She arranged all her plans and
was on her way to the Charles River
in which she had intended to end her
life. The hurrying crowd passed by,
not noticing the despairing woman
as she crept along. Soon, however,
she saw coming toward her the tall
and commanding figure of Phillips
Brooks, known and loved by all Bos-
ton. She had never had occasion to
meet Bishop Brooks, but as he ap-
preached her he evidently saw that
she was in some trouble or sorrow.
Hesitatingly he half stopped, gave
her a glance of such pitying sympa-
thy that although he quickly passed
on, she stopped, turned, and went
back to her own room, and on her
knees cried out: 20 God, if you can
create g soul who will give such pity
to stranger, there must be love and
forgiveness in your heart! will take
my punishment and strive to live
again. Without one word being
spoken, the personality of Philips
Brooks had touched and softened this
despairing heart.-Child Welfare
Magazine.

To The Christian Voters Of Bamberg
County.

Fellow citizens:-One of the fine
appellations to christians, in the New
Testament is: fellow citizens with
the saints and of the household of
Cod" In such a country as ours
there is the very best of opportunity
for the christian to express his high
order of citizenship. The voter is
both law maker and law keeper. A
good man must make good laws, laws
that are righteous and christian. To
this end he goes to the polls and casts
his vote. If be is in the minority,
and bad laws, laws which make it
lawful to do wrong, are put upon the
people, it is no fault of his. His
skirts are clear.
The christian attitude to the liquor
traffic must be one of uncompromis-
ing opposition. The christian con-
science has never put the christian
in the position of choosing between
two evils. This is true because God
is always on the side of right-right
without any admiXture of evil or
compromise. The specious argu-
ments in favor of liquor selling
law must go down in the light Of
pure righteousness, because the IL
quor business is sin. Sin can never
be made righteousness by any law.
whether that of democrat or of a
monarchy. To put up the dispen-
sary for the purpose of putting out
the blind tiger is like licensing a
house of prostitution to put an end
to adultery, or legalizing safe crack
ing to stop defaulting cashiers. II
the whiskey business is good, it is
good in any and every form; If
wrong, it is wrong in every form.
We must view it from the standpoint
of our Lord Jesus, who came to save
us from our sins and to make us
workmen for the establishing of his
kingdom, and, as such, we must do
the righteous thing. A high and
solemn duty it is to vote; and we
must honor God in performing this
duty.
