Southern Railway Change.

Mr.. D. NJ. Eaves has severed his
connection with the Southern rail-
way as general agent at Bamberg,
and Mr.. H. w. Mcmillan has been
made successor.
Mr.. Eaves has been agent at Bam-
berg for about fourteen years, and
during this time, by his courtesy and
business treatment, has made scores
of warm friends among the patrons
of the Southern. His friends regret
that he has severed his connection
with the agency here, and their good
wishes will accompany him in what
ever line he engages.
Mr.. Mcmillan is thoroughly COM
petent employe of the Southern, hav-
ing received his training under Mr..
Eaves at Bamberg some years ago.
He has since held positions as freight
agent at Aiken, Rock Hill and
Orangeburg. He is we'll known IN
Bamberg, and will no doubt prove to
be a worthy successor to Mr.. Eaves.
No changes in the force of South
ern agency employees at Bamberg
has been announced.

Young Man Killed.

The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
G.. w. Garris in this city sympathlze
with them in their sorrow. Their on
ly son, Ira was killed by the eX-
plosion of a fly wheel at the saw
mill of his father near Savannah
Monday of this week. The body was
brought to Denmark Tuesday morn
ing, and the interment took place at
the Denmark cemetery the same al
ternoon. Ira>~as a fine young man.
He was 22 years old. 1t appears
that the saw mill engine was run
ming away and Ira ran to shut of
the steam, when the fly wheel went to
pieces. He was struck BY the flying
fragments, but lived for several hours
>after the accident.

An Cndemocratic System.

The demand for the abolition OF
the county-to-county campaign meet
ings is growing fast. All over the
State the press is taking the matter
up.
There are a score or more OF rea-
sons why the present system is bad'
and all of them are convincing.
The Bamberg Herald, which as US
al goes straight to the heart OF the
issue, protests that it cannot see
where the democratic party has any
right to appoint campaign meetings
/ in every county in the State and eX-
pect the candidates to attend.
pect the candidates to attend
1t hasn't. Nowhere else except IN
South Carolina is such thing at
tempted. 1t is in the last degree un-
democratic and indefensive.
The Herald makes another good
point when it says that "the expense
of running for Office in South Caro-
lima is getting beyond the means OF
ANYBODY except a wealthy man.
Isn't that true?
How many farmers, merchants,
LAWYERS can afford to quit their work
for two solid months, with PRACTICAL
ly no chance to get home even for
day, in the hope of election to some
Office the salary of which may not
be enough to pay their living ex-
penses?
Isn't the poor man, the man OF
moderate means, being practically
shut out of the public service, re-
gardless of his compentency to serve?
Who are the benefciaries of the
present system?
Who are they who are responsible
for it's perpetuation?
Who will be hurt if the county
to-county meetings are abolished?-

Just be Glad.

O heart of mine, we shouldn't
Worry so.
What we've missed OF calm we
couldn't
Have, you know.
What we've met of stormy pain,
And of sorrows driving rain,
We can better meet again,
If it blow.
We have erred in that dark hour
We have known;
When the tears fell with the shower,
All alone.
We're not shine and shower blent e.
AS the gracious Master meant?
Let us temper our content
With His own.
For we know not every morrow
Can be sad;
So forgetting all the sorrow
We have had,
Let us fold away our fears,
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years
Just be glad.

The Weather.

Sunday morning the glorious
spring was ushered in with heavy
freeze and sleet. The spring equinox
played a joke on the South, as we'll as
the rest of the country. kaleidosco-
pic weather prevailed for several
DAYS around the first day of spring.
Last week warm, balmy sunshine
greeted the farmer and gardener, and
good many planted fields of corn
and planted their gardens. Saturday
afternoon the mercury dropped to
the freezing point, and Sunday morn
ing everything was covered with a
coat of ice. Monday was fair and
cold, with a heavy frost and the
ground frozen slightly. However
the weather man promises that old
Sol will do his full spring duty and
give us plenty of good warm sun
shine the rest of the week.
