Others have to have their belongings
placed just so. But we never saw
anything equal to mana big grown
man,-who cOndescended to allow us
to use a part of his sleeper the other
day. He had a dress suit case with
two snaps, two locks and two straps
on it. He had occasion to enter the
strong box seventeen times in the
four hours that we watched him and
every time he undid the two buckles,
the two snaps and unlocked the two
locks, and then Immediately reversed
the proceedings. Somehow or other
we sized him up as an old bachelor,
and we are sure We are not mistak-

My friend thinks there should be
county, state and national courts OF
arbitration, organized on some such
plans as are the district, state and
federal supreme courts of justice. He
also thinks that the unions should all
be incorporated so they might be
held responsible for the short-com-

violation of their contracts. With
these two things accomplished, he
can see an end to strikes without so

And this reminds us of another fel.

complains that the town is not grow
ing any, is in the hands of Cranks,
and is on the bum generally. This
same fellow has no time for children,
and speaks of them as a general nuts

how a town of the country is going
to grow and prosper without this nee
essary adjunct? That fellow ought
to have about five youngsters of his

Going into Denver we ran into a
man who was formerly employed by
the Colorado Coal and Iron Co. He
invented a new miners lamp and
has since branched out in business
for himself But he has been on the
inside of both sides OF the strike in
Colorado, and appeared to know con-
siderable about industrial conditions.
He says both sides are stubborn and
wrong on some issues, and he can
see no end to the controversy unless
arbitration can be forced upon the
contending forces. Everything that
the unions have asked has been
granted or forced upon the employers
except recognition of the union.

Why don't the Orangeburg county
authorities put the road between
Bamberg and Orangeburg in good
shape? The road from Bamberg to
the river is a good one, but through
the swamp for some distance on the
Orangeburg side the. road is bad and
should be worked. People from
Orangeburg want to come over here
and people from Bamhepg want to go
to see their Orangeburg friends, yet
they hate to take the trip on account
of this bad piece of road. There is
considerable automobile travel over
this road now between the two towns,
and there would be more if the road
was put in good shape. We trust
our Orangeburg friends will get right
after their officials and bring such
pressure to bear that this road will
be made one of the very best high
ways in that good county.

! The school has an exceptionally
fine athletic field, for which it is in
debted to W. D. Rhoad, one of Bam-
berg's most sterling citizens and a

Terry Dill and His Pig.

Now comes another South Carolina
boy, Terry Dill, of Greenville county,
to teach profitable lesson to his eld-
er agriculturists, by raising a pig
weighing 30S pounds at an expense
of 3.S cents pound, says Stanley
Johnson in the American Magazine
for June. Terry Dill and his pig have
won honors equal to those attained
by Jerry Moore few years ago by
his record of 256 3-4 bushels of corn
from one acre of land, winning,
among other distinctions, niche in
the American Magazines hall of fame

far as regards Terry's achievement,

agriculture tells me This boy, to my
mind, has done even more in the way
of building for the future than did
