Roosevelt to Plat, Dec. 7, 1900:
8 Il right, of course in view of your
second telegram l will come, but you

Barnum, counsel for William Barnes,
Colonel Roosevelt today admitted that
he did not accept the Republican nomi-
nation for vice president of the United
States in 1909 until he consulted with
T. G.. Plat, the boss"
He gave other testimony to the ef-
feet that he considered Plat the boss
while he was governor Of New York,
and consulted him about all appoint
ments and such matters.
Colonel Roosevelt's consultation with
Platt regarding the Republican vice
presidential nomination in 1900 was
| the basis of cross-examination as soon
as court convened. Mr.. Barnum ques'
toned the colonel at length on the
contents of letter read yesterday.
In that letter Roosevelt told Plat

REPORT HOuSEHOlDERS
REFUSING TO COVER
Bins FOR GARBAGE

Nearly one hundred householders
have been reported by Sanitary Off
Ger Borton and drivers OF trash and
garbage wagons for failure to comply
with the provisions of an ordinance
requiring manure and trash bins to be
covered and nothing but dry garbage
placed in sanitary receptacles for re-
moval by city collectors" City Health
Officer Smelser said today.
This morning Officer Borton and
an assistant began final tour of all
alleys in the city and violators Of the
ordinance will receive one last warn
ing. After that any person found to
be ignoring the ordinance will be
brought into city court"
DR.. Smelser caustically remarked
that one of the most insanitary places
in the city was owned by "one of the
most active leaders in the anti-tuter-
culosis campaign"
The place I refer to is rented by
this anti-tuberculosis crusader and it
is a plague nest if I ever saw one,
the health officer remarked. The
owner of this property won't even pro-
vide drain from the house to the
sewer and the tenants have been in
the habit of dumping all the Stops into
the alley. l have no patience at all
with such people. They want to re-
form everything so long as it does not
cost them a cent"

that he did not care to be vice presi-
dent. He wanted to run again for
governor, although he admitted that
he consulted Mr.. Plat concerning the
vice presidency, the colonel denied that
he had accepted Platt's advice. Roose-
welt declared that his relations with
platt at that time were most friend
ly." but that he did not consult him as
a boss. When counsel for Barnes ask
ed the colonel directly whether Plat
had advised him to run for the vice
presidency, the question was ordered
stricken out on objection Of counsel
for Roosevelt.
Reads PIatt's Letter.
Mr. Barnum read the following letter
of February 9, 1900. from Plat to Mr..
Roosevelt, referring to the vice presi-
dency:
II have hardly had time to give the
consideration it deserves to your let
ter Of February l and the matters in.
volved therein. and am inclined to take
time for mature elaboration. The vice
presidential question Is very impor-
tant one and a great deal depends upon
it. Mrs. Platt's condition is consider
ably improved, and it looks now as
though l should be able to get to New
York soon, at which time We can per-
sonally discuss the vice presidential
and other conditions.
Barnes People Pleased.
Did you consult Mr.. Plat about &C
cepting the Republican nomination for
the vice presidency" asked Barnum.
II did," said the colonel.
Did you value that advice?" can
not answer that question yes or no, y
replied the colonel.
The Barnes people were jubilant
over the coloneIs admission that he
recognized Plat as the boss of the or
ganization.
On the other hand, the Roosevelt ad-
herents point out that Platt's advice to
Roosevelt to please Grady goes long
way to prove Roosevelt's assertion on
July %, 1914, that the Barnes Repub-
licans and Murphy Democrats com
bined to control the senate. This is
one point upon which the $4,000 libel
suit is based.

Meeting With Encouragement.

Prof. J. c. Guilds, who is now
spending most of mis- time travelling
in the interest of Carlisle School,
stated to The Herald Tuesday that
he is meeting with much, encourage
ment. He stated that the number of
applications received up to this date
is in excess of the number received
to the same date last year, and con-
siderably above the average. While
he has been encountering the plea of
hard times, Mr.. Guilds does not be-
lieve that conditions will be as bad
as last year, and that if the price of
cotton is anything like normal, the
school will perhaps enjoy the best
enrolment in it's history: and that
if cotton does not bring any more
than last year, he believes conditions
will be equally as good as last year,
and perhaps better. Students enter
ing the school this year will find a
material improvement, in that gym
nasium will be in readiness for the
opening of the school

Changing Grade of Goods.

The Bamberg Cotton Mills COM
pany is now making the necessary
changes in the machinery Of the mills
for the production of a different
grade of cotton goods. 1t has been
found that by changing the grade OF
the output, the capacity of produc-
ton can be greatly increased without
material increase in cost Of produc-
ton. Also the new product has been
found more marketable at this time.
Some of the machinery has already
been changed, and some Of the goods
are now being turned out. Although
only a small quantity of the new
grade of goods has been manufactur-
ed up to this time, ready market
has been found, and the output for
some time ahead has been contracted
for.

A Day Current Possibility.

There is disposition among the
authorities to put on day electric cur
rent in Bamberg next summer, start
ing about April or May, with an idea
of making the current permanent
fixture. Looking to this end, those
interested in the matter will begin
shortly an effort to build up patron
age for day current, to insure expen-
ses for operating the plant. The peo-
pie will be asked to cooperate with
the commissioners, and a proposition
will be put up to Bamberg in the
near future. If the proper support
is given, it is stated that the current
will be given. This is something
that a great many people have dream
ed of for years, and it is to be hoped
that the movement will be met with
success.

SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.

The many friends in this county
of Miss Eda Belle Morris, of DAVIS
boro. Ga, are very sorry to learn OF
her illness and hope she will soon
be out again.
The many friends of Mrs. |. b
Fielder. who has been very i'll for sew
eral weeks a, Commerce, Ga, Will
oe delighted to know that her condi-
ton has greatly improved.
The thermometer in front OF Hon
mans store Monday afternoon regis
tered 103 degrees. The thermometer
in The Herald's window registered
100. even. This was the warmest day
of the summer, so far.
Mr.. Decania Bowling is erecting on
his place near the city several brick
farmhouses. This, we believe, is the
first time in this county that farm
houses were built of brick. Col j.
F. Folk has a number of concrete
houses on his plantation.
The annual reunion Of Co. G, 1s'
s. G.. volunteers, will be held at Betl-
esda church on July 29th. The pub
lie. and especially all Confederate
veterans, are cordially invited to be
present. A good programme has
been arranged. A picnic dinner Will
he served ON the grounds.
Watermelons have not been very
successful crop this year with the
average planter. The crop did not
turn out as we'll this year as usual
and the market has not been very
good, except for the finest melons
The freight rate on watermelons Is
exceedingly high, averaging about
s85 per carload to New York, and
of course a very high price is neces'
sary to make the crop paying one.
The average condition of cotton in
this county appears to be far below
the ordinary. Field after field ma!
De seen only few inches in height
In some places, on the other hand
the staple is in splendid condition
Most of the farmers have cleaned
their cotton fields of grass, but g
good deal Of grass may yet be seen
The condition Of corn is more en-
couragins, though it appears to be
suffering from the lack of rain.

Discuss Waterworks and Sewerage

The proposition to install a sys-
tenn of waterworks and sewerage in
Bamberg is meeting with great deal
of enthusiasm, and is being talked
and discussed with much zeal among
the citizens. The proposition is to
supply the town with a plentiful sup
ply of pure water, and to put it in
access of the entire town, and to
supply sewerage connections in the
same manner There are many de-
tails of the matter that necessarily
take a great deal of time that have
to be worked out, but we are assured
by those who have the matter in
hand that the town will undoubtedly
secure these great improvements. We
are assured that the system will be
modern in every respect, and that
no citizen need fear that it will not
be thorough.
