Some Old BarOmeterS.

Undoubtedly there is great rela-
ton between the elements and GER
tain complaints, in the same manner
that some seasons of the year more
than Others render certain people
liable to illness.
The, lower we investigate in the
animal world the more prone are its
subjects to be affected by the wealth
er, says Answers. A cat for as much
as three days beforehand feels COM
ing storm; horses fine nostrils CAN
sniff approaching rain in an uncanny
manner. The birds of the air have
but to be watched to see the way in
which they seek their nests of hint
of danger in the air.
The very trees and plants tremble
in a peculiar manner, before a Sc
we're storm. Many human beings are
just as sensitive to the march of the
elements, but do not always realize
the significance of their senstiveness.
Arithritic, rheumatic and neuralgia
people know at once when bad wealth
er is approaching.
Old wounds make themselves felt
at certain times, and the stumps of
members long since amputated give
pain.
Medical men have never satisfac-
torily explained these strange pheno-
mena, neither can they tell why some
people instinctively become restless
and excited, or moody and sullen, be-
fore a thunderstorm.

TWO MILLIONS FOR PEACE.
Carnegie Makes Gift Through the
Churches.

New York, February 10.-Andrew
Carnegie to-day gave S2,000,O00 to
be used through the churches for the
promotion of international peace.
The income of the fund, about $780,
600 a year, will be expended by a
board of 26 trustees, representing
all the leading religious denomina-
tions in the United States.
This gift is in addition to the ten
million dollar foundation establish
ed by Mr. Carnegie December IA,
1910. The income will be used to
organize the moral power of the
churches on critical international
questions, to circulate among
the clergy and to bring about
the annual observance of peace
Sunday" Conferences in America
and Europe will be called to discuss
the promotion of peace. When the
leading nations abolish war the trus-
tees may devote the income to other
philanthropic uses.

An Old Negro.

Editor The Bamberg Herald: l no.
tice in the Hampton Guardian OF
February 4th an announcement OF
the death, two weeks before at his
home in Jasper county, (formerly
Hampton) of Philip Reid, a negro
said to be 112 years old.
AS we frequently read of cases OF
longevity more or less authentic.
thought perhaps few lines regard
ing this case, of which have personal
knowledge, might be of interest.
Philip Reid was owned by my hus-
bands father, William T. Speaks, OF
the Hickory Hill section OF Beaufort
(now Hamptons county.
Mr.. Speaks l never knew, as he
was killed in the battle of Pocataligo
in October, 1852, three months be-
fore the birth of my husband, but his
widow, who lived to old age, has
often told me that when she was
married in 1912 Philip was man
of at least forty years of age, and
was possessed of such exceptionaI
Judgment and reliability, and dis
ciplinary qualifications, that he was
made their ''driver," as the boss
negroes were called in those days.
His wife was owned by some one
else some miles distant, and so i'm
portant a parsonage was Philip in
the Speaks family, that he was pre-
sented with horse for his very own
to ride back and forth on visits to
his wife.
After he was freed he lived fol-
years on the old place, looking after
the affairs of his widowed mistress.
My husband says his first recollec-
ton of Philip in that he was elderly,
and that he on more than one oc-
casion, gave him a ''trouncing" for
bathing in the horse trough, or
thrashing off green fruit in the or
chard
One of Philips grandsons, who
is now a student at the Voorhees,
School at Denmark, was in our store
during the holidays, and to our in
quiries regarding his grandfather,
told US he was somewhat feeble, but
still able to get about the house and
do light work, and that he insisted
that he was ia years old.
He may have been correct, but
certain it is that we have accurate
knowledge of his being in the neigh
borhood of 112 when he died.

Restland Cemetery.

Some months ago it was decided
by small committee of ladies, who
take an interest in the appearance OF
Restland cemetery, that they would
collect S1.25 from each lot holder,
so that a caretaker might be en-
ployed to keep this place for the COM
ing year. Those who do not reside
in Bamberg and have borne no ex'
penses in the frequent cleanings, also
those who have unusually large
squares, have been asked for $3.50
each. This amount has been cheer
fully paid by every one whom the
committee has seen-with one or two
exceptions.
Some may not understand this
movement and say that they prefer
keeping their own squares, or may
complain that their squares were not
touched on the general cleanup
days. Possibly they were not, but
remember that a very small band of
ladies take any interest in this neg
lected city of the dead, this same lit
tie band going twice each year with
their few servants or hired men, and
with three or four extra women, sent
in to help, to put in good condition
as large place as the cemetery-all
of the driveways grown up in grass
and weeds and dozens upon dozens
of lots owned by folks who have long
since moved away, to be cleaned. Is
it any wonder that the squares of a
few who live in and near Bamberg
are not reached? These ladies never
touch their squares on that day, they
are put in order at other times, the
spots which have no loving hearts
or willing hands to care for them are
given first attention on this day, al
ways beginning at the front and
working towards the back, for the
sake of the general appearance of the
place.
However, if one does not choose to
bear his part of the expenses, after
once refusing, he will not be asked
again, others will just have to bear
more than their share.
Necessarily those who really take
an interest in their lots will continue
to keep them as heretofore as there
is so much unclaimed ground to be
kept. COMMITTED.

COCKTAILS
ASKS FOR
DE:STROYERS
THEM TO ENFORCE
NEUTRALITY IN PANAMA
CANAL ZONE
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 14-Col-
onel Goethals. governor Of the Pana-
ma canal zone today reiterated his
request for two torpedo boat destroy
ers to prevent any violation of the
neutrality of the canal zone.
He requests that the destroyers be
sent to the canal zone Immediately.
No specific explanation of the need
for available vessels there was includ-
ed in the message. A reply asking
for this explanation was sent at
once, but no answer mad been receiv-
ed from Colonel Goethals at a late
hour.
Officials believe he canal governor
has experienced some difficulty IN
preserving the complete neutrality OF
the zone and its territorial waters.
Many ships belonging TO belligerent
nations are in the vicinity and il is
thought possible Goethals has found
himself unable to check use of their
wireless plants within three mile
limit to convey information TO war
ships at sea. With swift naval ves'
sells to aid il would be an easiel
matter to regulate use Of w.relee~
and it was thought probable last night
that the necessary destroyers would

Goethals' explanation is received.
