oriain Of nReiected Addresses.n

Rejected Addresses" was the title
of a clever literary diversion quite
famous in its day. When Drury Lane
theater was rebuilt in 1912 a prize was
offered for a poetical address to be
read at the-opening. Two literary men
of the day. Horace Smith Q779-1S49)
and his brother James Immediately
set about writing addresses for the oc-
casion, and in six weeks they had pro
duced a series of parodies on the styles
of almost every contemporary poet.
These fictitious productions. purport-
ing to have been unsuccessful competi-
tors for the Drury Lane theater prize,
they published in a volume entitled
Rejected Addresses which achieved
a brilliant success because of the origi-
nality of the plan and the remarkably
clever limitations Of the styles of differ
ent poets.

deeply engrossing students. The
Hohenzollerns, meaning thereby the
nobility of Prussia and the financial
and industrial rulers of Germany,
are the inspiration of the war and
are sponsors for its unprecedented
cruelty and terror. How, through
control of the Universities, the press
and other mediums of education,
the character of the Germans has
been so wrought upon and changed
that they do approve the present war

America is a kindred subject brought
to prominent notice by these revela-

the local situation is found more de-
plorablc and frought with dire po-
tentialities than have come upon the
noble German people. For genera
ton the systematic campaign of
Notwithstanding, meaning thereby
the industrial and financial princes
and potentates of America, has been
positive, working force, insidious
and hidden so far as possible, yet
working to its end with persistence
and well defined plan. Universities
have been endowed and thereafter,
governed in thought and expression
from this source; newspapers, from
the lowly crooked local sheet to the
most prominent and aggressive met
ropolitan dailies, have been hired or
purchased outright to keep ever to
the front the peculiar lines or
thought and reasoning which effects
the Rockefellerization of the minds
of the people. In all this the prac-
tees Of the Prussian influences are

Hon. B. w. Miley, city attorney,
has rendered an opinion to the effect
that waterworks and sewerage bonds
can be voted by the city of Bamberg.
When the question of the installation
of a waterworks and sewerage sys-
tenn was first agitated in Bambers
the question arose whether or not
theicity could legally vote an amount
of bonds that would be required for
these improvements without special
act of the legislature granting this
authority. There is a provision OF
the constitution which forbids the
bonding of cities over stipulated
percentage of the taxable property,
but the city attorney has ruled that
this provision in the constitution will
not forbid the city Of Bamberg vot-
ing bonds for the purpose of water
works and sewerage. AS this opinion
removes the legal obstacles in the
way of the improvements, the matter
will be pushed, and it is expected
that the election on the matter will
he held at an early date.

would be of benefit, and the corn

Growing Popped" Popcorn?

Planter Tom Crider, who lives near
Bamberg, brought to town the other
day an ear of popcorn. Nothing pc
culiar about that. But Oh the ear
there was a grain of popcorn that
was already popped Something
a little unusual about that. Farmer
Crider has been telling the people in
town about how hot the weather has
been "out his way" and he brought
in the popped popcorn, but he de-
clined to say that the hot weather
did it. Seriously, however, it is
quite curiosity, for no one about
town seems to have ever known a
grain of corn to pop" without the
aid of some fire or other intense
heat. Mr.. D. F. Hooton has the ear
of corn. and the incredulous are at
liberty to look at it. Several other
grains on the same ear are partially
popped" open.

Mosquitoes are Scarce.

Residents of Bamberg will recall
that last summer ther were some mil
lions or billions, maybe, of mosquitoes
in town. There was no section of the
city that was not infested. 1t has
been noticed that this summer there
is a scarcity of mosquitoes in the
city, and many have wondered why
this is. The secret is probably in the
fact that this summer the authorities
have used large quantities Of oil in
the bitches. The drains have been
covered with oil several times in
some places, and the oil has been
used freely over the city, and places
where mosquitoes are liable to breed
have been thoroughly disinfected.
The result is that the city has been
peculiarly free from this pest this
summer. While the cost Of using oil
in this manner has probably been
rather high, the results obtained have
fully justified the expenditure. Mos
quitoes are blamed by medical ex-
perts with much of the malaria that
people in the low section of the State
suffer from, and by preventing the
breeding of mosquitoes, the health Of
the town has probably been bettered.
It is understood that oil will be ap-
piled to the bitches and drains again
in the near future

THE OUTLOOK.
By the Observer.

Good roads is something we should
all be interested in, and | guess We
are. Everybody hopes to live to see
The day when Bamberg county, the
State and the nation will be travers-
ed by system of perfect roads. Very
few of us, if any, will probably ever
see that day, but it is probable that
the most of the present generation
will see a better system of roads
than We have before We die. The
advent of the automobile has caused
a renewed interest to be taken in
roads. The present condition of the
average South Carolina road makes
it look like a waste of money for
a person to buy nice touring car,
for it literally shakes to pieces in
about half the time it would last if
there were good roads. imagine
Mr.. Ford will not find his automobile
so popular when We get good roads.
But Ford took into consideration a
condition that exists, that is that the
roads are bad, therefore his cars are
constructed lightly and strongly, to
withstand jolts and bumps. do not
know that that was the reason for
the Ford, of course. Where there
are good roads there are more pleas
ure cars, and the people Of Bamberg
some day will tire, as they grow in
prosperity and want more luxury, Of
low-priced cars and want bigger and
better ones. And the desire for good
roads willincrease accordingly.
