MUNCHAUSEN.
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

One hundred and fifty years ago last
April sixth was born the great and in
comparable Baron Munchausen. There
had been liars before him. but their work
was crude, amateurish. He made of pre-
varication an art.
He was TO lying what Giotto was TO
the plastic arts, what Dante was to
rhymed verse, what Beethoven was TO
music.
In fact, lying is very like other forms
of creative work: il is offensive only in
its coarser forms. When one can lie ut
terly and with mastery it is entertain
ing. Where one bungles the job it is
unpleasant.
No known form of torture, for in
stance, is more painful than fiddling
when it is near-iddling only, and the
perpetrator screws out his tune from I'M
happy catgut, whereas Ysaye or Elman
is delight.
So, when the music committee asks
us after church what we think of the
execution of the new soprano who has
been experimentally operating upon the
for the first time, the unan-
imous verdict is that We are in favor
of il.
A bad actress is worse than bad
woman, as far as the pleasure of the hour
goes, and while the audience may throw
eggs at histrionic performance that is
just about so rotten, yet when it is as un-
relievedly awful as that of the Cherry
Sisters it rises to the level of art
If anything is bad enough it gets good
Witness Charlie Chaplin.
There seems to be a point beyond
which if a vice is carried it becomes a
virtue.
While Washington swore, upon one
memorable occasion. yet he did it so mag
nifcently, the bystanders said, that it
sounded like poetry.
Lincoln undoubtedly told stories that
would have been censored in a female
boarding school. but he told them so well
that he got credit for thousands of
Rabelaisian yarns he never dreamed of.
The community was Mortified when a
group of gunner killed a New York
gambler, and when a doctor fed poison
to his parents-in-law but it would appear
not the murder but the smallness of it is
what shocks US, for when the Crown
Prince orders up a hundred thousand
yokels to be reduced to pulp by French
seventy fives, when the festive Zeppelin
blows up an orphan asylum, or when the
gay little submarine torpedoes Russian
hospital ship, that is grand and glorious
let hymns of praise to God be sung in
all churches, and the iron crosses and
decorations pour lie merite be passed
around.
Who steals my purse steals trash, but
We soak him over the head with billy
Just the same, and send him to the work
house for thirty days; if he steals thou
sand dollars he goes to the penitentiary
for year or so: but if he steals ten mil
lion dollars he goes to the senate, and to
say anything against him is socialism,
anarchism, and sans-culottism.
Thus it is that Baron Munchausen is
the peculiar patron saint Of the twentieth
century. when morals seem TO be meas
ured by bulk instead of quality.

Enforcement of Law.

Superintendent J. K. Breedin, of
the South Carolina Anti-Saloon
league gave out the other day state
ment regarding the enforcement of
the Statewide prohibition law in
this State. Embodied in the state
ment were a number of letters from
peace officers from various parts of
the State. Among the letters were
the following from Sheriff Ray and
Chief of Police Hutto, of Denmark.
In his letter to Mr.. Breedin, Sher-
iff Ray said: conditions are very
much better now in my county than
when the dispensary was running.
We have some trouble with tigers,
but we also have other laws violated
as much, or probably more, than the
prohibition law"
Chief of Police w. J. Hutto, of
Denmark, reported: january Feb
ruary, March and April, of 1915, 1
made from one to four arrests each
week for drunkenness and disorder.
During the same months of this year,
l have made only four arrests for
drunkenness"

Florida Trains Pass Here.

On account of the Atlantic Coast
Line railroad tracks being washed
away near Florence, Coast Line
trains between New York and other
Northern points and Florida were de-
toured by way of Charleston, Bam-
berg and Denmark Several Coast
Line trains, which had been delayed
for several hours, passed Bamberg
Saturday afternoon; one of them be-
ing more than "a hours late. The
Coast Line passengers continued to
pass this way during Sunday, when
the tracks were sufficiently repaired
to permit the trains passing as usual.
A trestle near Florence was also bad
ly damaged.
The Southern's trains between
Charleston and Columbia were rout-
ed via Bamberg to Blackville Mon
day. This was due to the condition
of the railroad trestle at Kingville.
While the trestle did not give away,
it was considered dangerous. A train
of loaded coal cars were placed
across the trestle to weight it down.
The Carolina Special from Charles
ton to Cincinnati also was detoured
via Blackville for several days this
week.

Beware of Infantile Paralysis.

The secretary of the board OF
health has received letter from the
State board of health requesting the
local board to endeavor to ascertain
whether there are any cases of in
fantile paralysis in Bamberg. If any
such cases exist, report on same is
requested by telephone or telegraph.
There are no cases here, but the doc
tors have been warned to be on the
lookout for suspicious symptoms, and
have been asked to report same i'm
mediately, so that steps may be TAX
en- to prevent contagion of the fear
full disease. This step on the part
of the State board of health is taken
as result of the widespread exist
ence of infantile paralysis in the
north and west, where several hun
dred deaths have already occurred.

Crowds Go to Seashore.

Since the Inauguration of the Sun
day and weekend excursion rates to
Charleston, Sullivan's Island and the
Isle of Palms, a large number of
Bamberg county people have visited
the famous seaside resorts near
Charleston. However, last Sunday
there was a decided diminution in
the crowds, not only from Bamberg,
but from other points up the road.
This is accounted for, perhaps, by
reason of the fact that the recent
storm did a great deal of damage to
Charleston and the islands, and the
people were little "skittish". about
paying a visit for fear of encounter
ing further stormy conditions. How
ever, several persons from the county
did make the trip, and they report
that for several miles near Charles
ton the Southern tracks were COM
pIetely under water.

Railroad Loses Appeal.

In the case of DR.. J. ]. Cleckley,
respondent, against the Atlantic
Coast Line Railway company, appel
liant, the supreme court last week
affirmed the decision of the circuit
court, which gave DR.. Cleckley a ver-
dict for 500 damages. The railroad
appealed the case to the supreme
court, with the result stated. This
case was the result Of the failure of
DR.. Cleckley to make connection
on the Coast Line from Denmark to
Kingstree while the doctor was pay
ing a professional visit during the
illness of Mrs. John S. Jennings, of
Kingstree. BY failure to make the
connection, DR.. Cleckley was delay
ed several hours in reaching his pa
tient.
