 1 know that the development of the forward pass calls for more thought on the part of the coach than the run ming attack. and that even granting this fact, it makes the game a better one for the player. He has more re- sponsibility, and must assert more skill and initiative. On the whole the contest becomes a battle between play CTS rather than one between coaches. II. After all,. It might be well to direct the game in this direction. An even break with the result resting almost entirely in the hands of the contes- tants is about the kind of sport Amer ican boys need. Good sportsmanship, gentlemanly conduct and clean play, all depending on the players initiative, are pretty good lines to follow in .shap- lns the destiny of intercollegiate foot ball. Boys should be taught that the size of the brain, not the size of hte body, wins victory.

Colleton Man Kills Bear.

"Uncle Nick" Ulmer was in Wal
terboro Monday, and brought with
him foot of black bear which was
killed Saturday by w. Ben Crosby,
of the Black Creek section. Mr.. Ul-
mer stated that Mr.. Crosby heard a
hog squeal and going to investigate
he found that the bear had just kill
ed it and was making his meal of the
carcass. He got his gun and fired
into Sir Bruin, the load taking effect
in his eye. The bear charged direct
ly towards Mr.. Crosby, who took
refuge behind a tree and gave him
another load as he passed. The bear
made off into the wood, and Mr.. Cros-
by called for his dogs and chased him
to his lair, where he was dispatched
by third load of shot.
The bear when weighed tipped the
beam at 116 pounds. He was a full
grown black bear. It had been sew
eral years since one had been seen
in that community, and it was
thought that none, had been left.
Mr.. Crosby is being congratulated
upon his good marksmanship.-Wal-

Voters Must Enroll.

The voters are reminded that they
must enroll their names with their
club secretary if they wish to partici-
pate in the Democratic primaries this
summer. The fact that a voter may
have enrolled two years ago will not
entitle him to vote this year. Under
the new rules and regulations of the
Democratic party in this State, adopt
ed two years ago, voters must enroll
every two years. The enrolment
books are now open. They will be
closed thirty days before the first pri-
mary election.
In order that every voter in the
county may have an opportunity to
enroll, an enrolment committee has
been appointed for each club in the
county, whose duty it is to see to it
that every man qualified, to vote is
properly enrolled. Under the rules
of the party, when voter applies to
vote, reference must be had to the
enrolment books; if his name is not
on the books properly, he cannot cast
a ballot. Therefore, every white man
21 years of age in Bamberg county
should see that he is properly en-
rolled. Let everybody qualify and
vote. In this connection the follow
ing from the rules of the Democratic
party in this State is printed for the
information of the public:
Each applicant for enrolment
shall in person write upon the club
roll his full name and Immediately
thereafter his age, occupation and
postoffice address, and II in city or
town shall write the name of the
street and the number of house in
which he resides if such designation
exists in said city or town. If the
name be illegible the secretary shall
write the name beneath the signature
of the applicant. In the event of
the inability Of the applicant to
write he may make his mark upon
the roll, which shall be witnessed by
the secretary, or other person then
having the custody thereof, and the
secretary shall fill in the other re-
Quirements.

Wherever the Worlds Ships Coal
Trade Routes Gather.

On the Track Chart for Full
powered Steam Vessels" published
by the photographic Office, Washing
ton, says George Harding in Har-
per's for June, the trade routes
which cross the great expanse of the
Pacific radiate in all directions, like
the spokes of a gigantic wheel, from
each of the island ports of Honolu-
lu, of Apia, and of Tahiti. Shore
ward they are directed to San Fran
cisco, to Panama, and to Valpa-
raiso; and on the Asiatic side of the
Pacific all routes lead to Nagasaki
in the north, and to Sydney in the
south. Similarly, in the South At
lantic Ocean there are esta ablished,
for the use of steamers plying the
routes of those waters, coaling sta
tions of large importance at the
otherwise remote ports of Santa
Cruz de Teneriffe, at the Cape
Verde Islands, at Ascension
Island, and at St. Helena, all of them
island ports lying we'll away from
the African coast. Teneriffe is
regular coaling port on the route to
all African ports from the Ivory
Coast to Cape Town; and the Cape
Verde Islands-where four thousand
steamers call for coal in single
year-are on the main route from
the English Channel to the ports Of
South America. These ports are on
the cross-sea highways of the worlds
commerce; from them stretch the by
paths and to them come the coast
wise routes.

Miss Lalla Byrd was hostess on
Wednesday afternoon to large num-

a hose shower in honor of Miss
Blanche Hair, a fair young BRIDE
elect of this week Receiving at the

Miss Ruth Byrd and Miss Lalla Byrd.

skillful fingers Of Mrs. E. H. Hender-

which Immediately began to she'd
not their petals, but a shower of

seemed to foreshadow the happiness
of the coming event and to speak in
certain tones of the popularity of the
bride-elect and appreciation of the
charming hospitality of the young
hostess.
