Carlisle School.

We have received copy of the
new catalogue of the Carlisle school
at Bambere.
1t is one of the best illustrated
booklets of it's kind we have seen il
a long time. We do not know who
the printers were, but we know they
gave the school a superb job.
The contents also were we'll and
carefully prepared. The unmistak-
able evidence of a thoughtful mind
may be seen on every page.
The Carlisle school is today one OF
the best preparatory schools in the
State. We are glad We are able to
give it our unqualified endorsement
We have only one fear, and that is
that we will not be able to keep Mr.
Guilds there many years longer.
Of course it is always an anxious
time with parents when they have to
send a son or daughter away from
home for an education or to go into
business, and there is always GER
tain risk to run, no matter where a
student is sent.
We must always remember that
there are no entirely perfect condi-
tions anywhere on earth.
After parents have done the best
they could, at home, all they can then
do is to turn the children over to the
good providence Of a faithful coven-
ant keeping God, and if they have
the grit in them, they will make good.

Storm Strikes Bamberg.

Monday the news reached Bam-
berg that a coast storm was on lts
way in this direction. Memories OF
the famous August storm OF 1892
came into the minds of the people.
Early in the night, the storm reached
this section, but without the fury
that was expected by many, who
said things were just right" for a
repetition of the big gale OF many
wears ago. However, the wind blew
fiercely, and considerable damage
was done around the city. A good
MANY trees were blown down, and
electric wires were on the ground in
some places.
The storm came from a southeast
erly direction, and practically every
roof in Bamberg facing in that direc-
ton leaked. Those who forgot to
close their windows found their
rooms and stores drenched with wa
ter Tuesday morning, and several
stores were literally flooded. Many
awnings and signs wer blown
down. One sign, that of Mr..
B. shulman, was blown against the
store window of Mr.. E: A. Hooton'
breaking out several panes Of glass.
A tree was blown down in the front
porch of Mrs. L. E. Livingston S
home.
The rain fell in torrents from mid
night until nearly forenoon Tuesday.
1t was perhaps the heaviest rain III
years in Bamberg. The farmers re-
port much damage to corn. which
wa. blown down. Other crops were
also damaged more or less, and the
excessive rainfall after the long
drought is likely further damage all
crops.

Victim of RattleSnake.

The two-year-old daughter of Mrs.
Annie Garris, of Round. just over the
line in Walterboro, met with horri-
BILE death Monday, the result of a
rattlesnake bite on Sunday. The
child, it seems, was going down a
path in some weeds and the snake
apparently was lying across the path,
the child stepping on it. The strike
was fair, hitting the child in the
large toe. and making deep wound
from which blood was pouring when
assistance came. The leg was cord
ed, prolonging the life of the child
for twenty-four hours. Had this not
been done, the doctors state, death
would have resulted in ten minutes.
The snake was a male, and the male
rattlesnake, unlike the female, has
no rattles, thus giving no warning OF
its deadly strike.
When it was attempted to kill the
snake it put up fierce fight, and
two men were required to kill it, and
then with considerable danger to
themselves. This is the first fatality
of it's kind in this section for several
years, and the age of the child makes
it the more sad.

The Pipe O. Pan.

Once on a time long, long ago
Before the dawn began,
A nymph there was of Dian's train
Who was beloved of Pan.
Yea, Lyrinx bounding through the
glades
Fen scorned the love he gave,
And feet of foot she fed away
Unto the stream to love.
After her with his out-stretched arms
Pan made his anxious way;
The frightened nymph her fellows
spied
Where often they did play
A-wading in the shady pool.
For them to intercede
She called, because she was afraid.
They changed her to a reed.
Pan drew the reed up to his lips.
With grief the lover sighed.
But To-! A plaintive melody
Unto his grief replied.
His heart was soothed; he broke the
reed:
A pipe of it he made.
A lovely strain, This, this is mine.
At least is what he played.

CURED on the Southern railway hear
Branchville, on the Columbia divis-

ton from Augusta backed up to Eel

took on the passengers from the Co.

lists about two and half hours. The
wreck was caused by the breaking
of an axle of freight car. The
track was torn up for some distance,
and the wreckage was not cleared
away until Sunday afternoon. The

did not think about what he was

Cutting Scrape in Church.

Friday night while services were
being held in Macedonia, negro
church at Cope, Paul Blair reached
over a bench in front of him and cut
Geo. Roach in the left leg. Every
thing was in pandemonium in few
minutes time, and cries for the po-
lice we're plentiful. Chief Dowie,
who was just winding up the task OF
putting out the street lights, happen
ed to be just in front of the church
at the time and soon had Blair arrest
ed, though he had to knock him
down once, and then draw his gun on
him when he advanced again. AS
soon as the chief put the handcuffs
on Blair, he turned him over to a
deputy, and then went into the
church and got them all quieted
down; then the meeting was con-
tinued to the end.
Blair was placed in the guard
house, to await developments, as
Rcach's wound is quite a serious one.
When questioned as to why he cut
Roach, Blair's answer was, because
he has been trying to get between
me and my wife for about a year.
Blair at one time was separated from
his wife and is considered rather a
bad character.

1t is stated that if the night shift is

at this time. The mill has found that
the new grade of goods are much

ly manufactured, and that the OUT
put of the mill can be materially in
creased. Nearly all of the machinery
has now been changed for the manu-

Cotton Opening Fast.

Several farmers have stated to the
Herald reporter that they expect to
begin picking cotton within the next
few days. The recent hot dry days
have caused the staple to open fast
and there is now considerable open
cotton in the fields. This is rather
carly for cotton to open. and may
mean. possibly, that the crop will be
very short. Many of the farmers
state however. that their prospects
for cotton this summer are good,
while others state that they will not
make a half crop.

Speaking about notes, the fact that
they come due so promptly makes US
feel sometimes as if we would like
to be Rockefellers. Now that dis
tinguished fellow citizen never has
to worry, about his note for hun
dred dollars at the bank, but have
always heard that if he ate big din
ner he would need several doctors
pretty soon after. Well, most US
"littleuns" can eat all the dinner we
can afford to buy. And imagine
our millionaire friends would be will
ing to give a good many of their mil
lions if they could do some OF the
things we can. So things are pretty
well equal after all. Other folks
have their millions, while we have
good digestion, which millions can
not buy. So why worry? We are
never by ourselves in the matter OF
troubles. Everybody has them. The
difference is some people will insist
on thinking about their troubles all
the time, while others continually
look on the bright side and think
about the cheerful things.
