ARIZONA LAUNCHED.
Shares Honor With the PENNSYLVANIA
of Being Woild's Largest.

New York, June 19.-The new bat
tleship Arizona was successfully
launched at the Brooklyn navy yard.
The Arizona shares with her sister
ship, the Pennsylvania, recently
launched at Newport News, the
honor Of being the worlds largest
battleship. The Arizona slipped in
to the water at 1:12 o'clock.
She went to the river with the
wine and water of her christening
trickling in rivulets down her bow
from two broken bottles, that swung,
bound together, by long red white
and blue cord of silk. Miss Esther
Ross, of Prescott, Ariz., the sponsor,
made fair throw as the big hull
quivered and slid slowly forward; the
froth of the wine spattered her gown
and the clothes of those in her party.
From the navy yard, black with
holiday throng, from the spans of the
Brooklyn and Williamsburg bridges,
from the docks and piers along the
Maqhattan and Brooklyn water
fronts, from scores of craft hugging
the far shore of the East River and
from every vantage point in the vi
cinity many tens Of thousands saw
the newest of American battleships
glide down the ways.

Some time ago The Herald urged
its readers and friends to get the

how the good pastors OF the city

good deal to hear Dr.. Coleman's good

always read the advertisements
that is some of them. | think the
advertisements in newspapers are
one of the most interesting things
about a newspaper; but some of
them. must confess. are not worth
reading. People ought to tell some
thing in their advertising. They
ought to offer something-value.
And if they will do this, III warrant
that the advertisements will be read.
But that is not what wanted to say.
In a bank advertisement | read not
long ago, noticed the statement that
it was the easiest thing imaginable
to start a bank account-only dol
lar would start it. That's true. 1t
is not a new statement, but it was
good advertising, because it impress
ed a well-known truth. But what l
would like to have read Is how to
keep a bank account going after it
is started. You know that the mass
es as rule do not have very fat bank
accounts, and. being one of the mass
es, the observer is in just that fix.

has three excellent banking houses,
and am sorry that they have not got

When l go into one Of the drug
stores or soda founts in Bamberg
during the day, l feel very keenly the
lack of the cooling, refreshing breez-
es from the electric fans. l thought
for a long time, perhaps the owners
were trying to cut down expenses,
but no, that could not be it. for they
had the fans, plenty of them. So, |
just sauntered up to the clerk and
asked him the whyfores and where
fores of the thing, and was met with
the astounding statement that there
was no day current in town. Well,
that was a shock. l don't circulate

The glorious fourth of July is ap-
preaching, as it does every year. IT
brings to mind old Father George
cutting down the cherry tree, our
great independence, and many other
cherished memories. 1t is a great
day. Down here in the South, We do
not celebrate the day very much, and
| am constrained to think it is mis-
take. 1t should be celebrated with
rejoicing and good fellowship. That
suggestion to have a big celebration
in Bamberg is a most excellent one,
and lere's hoping il will come about.
Pessimism and progress are NOR
tai enemies. They would not recog-
nize one another if they met on the
street. But we all have pessimistic
inclinations at times, and it is a trait
we should fight against. If our town
is to progress, we. should be optimis-
tic and tell it's advantages to out
siders. Try to br1ng new capital to
town. There are just a number OF
things we need in Bamberg, and If
we had a good trade body really
believe We could get them. =

Well, it's mighty bad We have no
day current. They say that the town
is not large enough. Why, there are
so many babies in Bamberg that !
really thought the town was large.
Surely when all the babies grow up
it will be a real big place. But that
will take long time. While we are
waiting for the babies to grow up,
We might as we'll go ahead and get
something here that would use a lot
of electricity. That would serve a
double purpose. 1t would add to the
towns growth. and at the same time
help US to get day current, and day
current would keep us cool while
slipping soda, or eating our dinner,
or chatting with our friends, to say
nothing of the help to the business

lions in his. petition, Root will contest
section 215 of the United States crimi-
