c. At the last session of the North
Carolina conference it was decided
to move the headquarters of the
field secretary to Trinity college,
Durham, so that there might be a
closer relation of that. college to the
religious educational work of the
Sunday-schools. The college is to
provide some financial aid to the
board and at the same time it is
hoped to develop a course in Sunday
school methods and,plans among the
students. This is regarded as one OF
the greatest forward steps ever TAX
en- in this conference. With best
wishes and kindest personal regards
for all of The Herald force, I am.
yours very truly,

Beds in japan.

The sale of bedsteads, mattresses,
etc., in Japan is limited to foreigners:
and Weather Japanese who own
semi-foreign residences, according to
consular report. Japanese homes
rarely contain rooms large enough to
accommodate beds, and accordingly
the people sleep on wadded quilts
piled upon the floor. Floor space is
measured by mats" each 6 by 8
feet dimensions, which, according to
Japanese ideas suffice for one per-
son by both day and night. During
the day the quilts are folded and laid
away in a closet, in order that the
room may be used as a workshop, g
dining room, or living room, as the
case may be.
Owing to constant changes in the
foreign poulation, new arrivals who
fail to bring their furniture usually
find bargains in beds and appurten-
ances thereto at the auction rooms.
At auction japanese dealers bid In
all such articles possible to replen1sh
their stocks and resell them at very
small margin of profit.

Mute Ran Burglars Out of House.

w. H. Rogers, deaf mute, of near
Cedar Spring, used the sign language
of the emergency code a few nights
ago when two professional tramps
entered his home and demanded a
good, old-fashioned hog and hominy
supper. Without ceremony the men
entered the living room and prepar-
ed to bake their feet before the open
fire place, much to the consterna-
ton of the host. Under the pretense
that Mr.. Rogers would retire to the
kitchenette and place the order for
the Thanksgiving tea, the tramps
mused in deep anticipation for the
royal repast.
When Mr.. Rogers returned he ex-
citedly handled his double-barrel
breach-loader. Exit tramps.
On the following morning, it is
related that the coat worn by one of
the tramps, was found hanging on a
tree with a few words of respect to
their discerning host of the evening
before.-Spartanburg Journal.

Carnival Man Commits Suicide.

One of the carnival men, known
to his associates as "Whitey, COM
mitted suicide Saturday night late by
drinking a quantity of carbolic acid.
DR.. Stuckey was summoned to give
medical attention to the man imme-
diately after it was discovered that
he had taken the poison. but nothing
could be done to save his life, and he
died a half hour afterward. At the
carnival grounds last week "Whitey
operated a concession at which peo-
pie took chances on toy dogs. His
wife also ran. a concession on the
grounds. 1t is said that domestic
trouble caused the man to become
despondent. and it is said that he had
previously made an attempt to END
his life. 1t seems that the man was
without friends even among the car
nival crowd, as his body was turned
over to the town for burial. The
body was buried in the potter's field
at. the cemetery Sunday afternoon,
Policeman Jennings and two colored
men burying the remains. 1t was
found that both he and his wife
were without funds, and small sum
of money was made up for the W nan
to get out of the town on, she going
with the carnival to Brunswick, Ga.

of Europe with oranges from the
growers of Florida, is a movement

as they are assembled, according to
the offers made by the shipping
lines. He has already sent off
shipment of fruit in this connection.
He believes. that many tourists in
the State thisswinter will anxious to
assist the wounded soldiers, and will
be glad to buy oranges for them.
Mr.. Little has also launched
movement to supply tobacco and
cigarettes to the soldiers on the fir
ing line Packages costing quar-

WANT REFERENDUM.
Secretary of ':Drys" Says Campaign
Will BE Launched.

Columbia, Dec. 3.-That the pro-
hibitionists are going to launch their
fight as soon as the general assem-
bly, convenes for a referendum on
driving the legal sale of whiskey
from the State was the statement
made this morning by J. X. Breedin.
secretary Of the prohibitionists. Pc
titions asking the legislature for this
referendum are being circulated in
every voting precinct, and Mr.. Breed
in thinks the demand will be so
strong that the referendum will be
assured. He says the fight will be-
gin as soon as the lawmakers assem-
BILE and they will not give way for
other matters.
There are great many people in
South Carolina who will regret to
see this issue injected into the COM
ing session, for they believe that
promises made to the people last
summer deserve first consideration.
Anyone familiar with conditions
knows that there are a great many
constructive measures to be consid-
cred and who view the injection Of
the prohibition fight with appre-
hension. They think that the peo-
pie had an opportunity last summer
to vote on this question and passed
it up, for Lieutenant Governor Chas
A. Smith advocated prohibition
referendum in his race for governor,
and many of the best posted people
of the State consider the vote Of the
people last summer as against bring
ing up this old fight this session.
Give the legislature chance to act
on compulsory education and other
constructive measures is the cry of
thousands of people who are weary
of political strife, and strife is what
the injection of the prohibition issue
will stir up. go slow, gentlemen
is the dmonition.-News and Cour-

Prohibition Sentiment.

81 found a stronger sentiment 1or
prohibition in Bamberg county than
I had been led to expect, said j. y.
Breeden, secretary of the new State
wide prohibition movement, yester-
dav afternoon. LAS has been said
before" continued MIR. Breeder, bus
mess men are aligning themselves
with this movement who have never
supported prohibition before. Mer-
chants are not taking kindly to the
condition, so common now, of liquor
sales exceeding sales of merchandise.
I'VE had a prohibition union SER
vice in the Baptist church at Den
mark Sunday night. Among the
speakers were T. U. Cox, highly es-
teemed business man of Denmark,
and S. G. Mayfeld, a distinguish
ed lawyer of Bamberg, who is also a
man of affairs and big planter: In
his address Mr.. Mayfeld discussed
the question of enforcing prohibl-
ton law and showed how it could be
easily enforced. Mr.. Mayfie}d told
the audience that he had thought at
first that this was an inauspiclous
time for the movement, but that al
ter discussing this question with
prominent business men of Bamberg
he had revised his opinion and
thought this the right time.
"Of especial interest to me, the
audience was prepared for 1t from
similar experiences a statement
made by the speaker showing the rel
ative sales of liquor and merchandise
in Denmark Saturday. Five of the
largest stores of Denmark together,
with total stocks of $4,000, sold
s195 in cash, whereas the dispensary
alone sold s240. That sort of thing
has brought the liquor question home
to those merchants, you may be sure.
But I was told about the same thing
at Branchv;lle this morning. though
that was just an estimate, l believe.
THAT prohibition is our big ques-
ton today is proved by comments
overheard on the trains. Our forces
are being mobolized everywhere. I
have already received, without So
licitation. assurances of support from
several members of the general as
sembly."- State.

Almost Lost His Balloon.

Saturday afternoon, when the bal
loon man at the carnival, made his
usual ascent, the thing refused to
wo:s, but the balloonist succeeded
in bringing himself and the balloon
to the ground long enough for him
to extricate himself on the ground.
While he was detaching his para
chute, the balloon made a successful
getaway. The sand bag respectfully
declined to overturn the gas bag,
with the result that the whole
shooting match" Immediately took
flight in the direction Of Ehrhardt.
When everyone had given up hopes
that it would descend anywhere near
Bamberg, the unexpected happened,
and the bag fell right where it left,
descending from an entirely differ
ent direction.
