WA S&aY ISL it is the last of the
wNW states to be admitted
l1E~ to the Union, and as
such dates its existence only from
1912 its history before the advent of
white men dates back into the dim
past. Here were located those inter
esting people, the Cliff Dwellers, and
the ruins of their cities high up in in
accessible places have caused much
speculation as to these ancient peo-
pie. 1t is supposed that these Cliff
Dwellers were the ancestors of the
Pueblo Indians and were decidedly
more advanced in civilization than
their neighbors. They were probably
of the same race as the AZtecS of
Mexico and understood irrigation, agri-
culture and the building arts.
1t was rumors of the great Pueblos
that instigated the first visit of the
white men. Padre Nizan in 1889 eX-
plored this territory and he was fol-
mythical wealth Of the Indian cities.
Coronado, though falling to find the
reputed gold, did discover the Grand
Canon of the Colorado with its wonder
full scenic beauty, which has become
one of the great assets of the state.
This region was considered part of
the Spanish territory and when Next
co declared its independence it became
a Mexican province. After the Mexican
war the section north of the ella river
was coded to the United States and
the southern portion was acquired
through the Gadsden Purchase in 1858.
In 1863 Arizona was separated from
New Mexico and made a territory. In
dian uprisings and the great extent of
desert land tended to retard settle
ment. With the suppression of the
Indians and the development of irri-
cation, the state has made sSeady
gains in population. The Roosevelt
dam, the second largest in the world,
was opened in 1911 and irrigates 270,-
600 acres of arid land in Arizona.
The derivation of the name Arizona
is uncertain, but it possibly came from
the Spanish, meaning "dry belt"

V0LIVA SHOWS
 HIS KNOWLEDGE

Zion, ILL, Sept. 29.-With book. a toy balloon, brick and feather, Wilbur Glenn Voliva, overseer of Zion, last night. demonstrated his dis belief in Newton's theory that objects fall because they are pulled by gray ity. toward the center of the earth.
 There is no such thing as the flaw of gravitation'' declared the success sor to Alexander Dowie, who recently proclaimed the world flat and had no motion, in his Wednesday night ad- dress in Shiloh Tabernacle.
 'They write books on the Flaw of gravitation'' Vo1iva said. There is no such thing. How is it that the Flaw of gravitation" can pull up a toy bal loon and cannot pull up a brickbat? :?
 "I throw this book up. Why doesn't it go on up? that book went up as far as the force behind it forced 1t, and it fell because it was heavier than air. I cut the string of a toy balloon. It rises to a certain height, and then it begins to settle. /I take this brickbat and feather. I blow the feather. Finally it be- gins to come down. The brickbat goes up far as the force behind forces 1t up through the air and then it comes down. That's all.''

erty would be to conduct the longest possible continuous campaign of ed ucation for their elimination.
 The sections where safety has been most neglected are in the home and school. It is an appalling fact that not one business man out of every 200 has ever applied the knowl- edge of safety he has used in his fac tory to his home He has forgotten to call cabinet meeting of the members of his family and servants to instruct them how to turn in an alarm, how to extinguish a fire in it's incipiency, how to avoid danger from articles used in the home and how to use the extniguisher he has installed. In other words. financial value in production has 1000 per the pricelsss jewels of human life in the home. and yet the nation is only as large or as strong as its homes.
 Similar negligence is shown in the care, maintenance and construction of our schools. A very small per centage of the members of our pres ent boards of education have assum- ed more than the financial burden of school activities while they are equally responsible for the moral under their care. There is a great disregard of properly established rules iii the construction of new buildings and the remodeling of old
  perts, that over 90 per cent. of the school buildings are more unsafe, either StructuraLy or in maintenance than the CollinwOod school when it burned, causing the death of IFS cIri dren and three teachers. Over five schools burn in the United States for each day of the year. Trif1es due to carelessness or through though percentage of fire casualties and con- f1agrations.
 Ut has been said by an eminent authority that TO per cent of our loss openings. I firmly believe this is true. It is the vertical opening left unprot ected that allows the fire to spread through the building or to the windows, shutters water = curtains, open stairways and elevator shafts, lack of fire doors between divisions of main buildings. This is what traps the workman at his bench or the clerk making her sales.
 The above coupled with improper fire exit facilities spells the death sentence of thousands It is a trav- of mental development to note the useless sham involved in 90 per cent. of our present exit facilities. Fire

 The factory and salesroom of the Dawn are at present located at 552 Fairfield avenue, the actual manu- featuring process having been only started on March l. Present plans call for an expansion in factory about January 1. The sales end of it has been placed in the capable hands of Charles H. Vaughn, formerly a mem Der of the well known firm of Neuss & Vaughn. MT. Vaughn sold out his interests there on January 1 and is now devoting his entire time to p1ac- ing the Dawn on the market.

E. MallaAiea, general manager of the National Beard of Fire Underwriters, almost doubled that of any previous year or our history, reaching an enormous total of over S505,000,000 - which does not include the stupendous losses in forestry, 90 per cent. of which is due to careleSnesS of citizens. This waste of our national wealth of near ly one and ene-half millions a day is paid for by every citizen of the nation. It is generally considered that these losses are borne largely by insurance companies, which is true but insurance companies are only collecting and distributing agencies and of necessity are compelled to re- :quire increased rates to cover in creased losses. Every product pur- chased for the home or for the fac tory has in it's cost to the consumer an amount to cover the insurance and overhead cost.

CLEVER PLAY PRESENTED.
Local Talent Shows "HoW the Vote
Was Won By the Women.

Those who attended the amateur
production of the play, 'How the
Vote was Won," at the graded schoo.
auditorium last Friday night enjoyed
one of the best treats of the season
One enthusiastic gentleman stated
that the entertainment was better
than a certain other one that he paid
$500 to see. The play was presented
entirely by local talent, and the en-
tire cast was composed of school boys
and girls of this city.
The theme of the play was that in
an English town the women set
about the task of getting the vote
Having failed in the usual suffra gette
manner to secure the coveted privi-
lege, they decided on a different tac-
tic and presented themselves to their
nearest male relatives demanding
support.

one of them played we'll, we're: Cald-

CASH AND CARRY.
New Style of Grocery Store Opened in
Bamberg Saturday.

Most people have heard of or read
about the ''piggly wiggly' and 'u-
tote-'em' stores that have become so
popular throughout the country, es-
pecially in the larger towns, but few
stores of this kind have yet invaded
the small town. Believing that the
same principle ought to hold good in
Bamberg as in the cities, Folk & Nc
MILAN, local grocery merchants, on
Saturday last opened one of these
cash-and-carry groceries, and judg-
ing from the business of the first few
days the store has met with the ap-
proval of considerable number of
Bamberg householders. The princi-
pie on which stores of this kind are
operated is very simple. The goods
are so displayed that each customer
waits on himself. Entering the store
the customer gets basket, makes the
entire circuit of the store, pays the
cashier at the door and takes his
purchases home with him: It is claim
ed that by employing this method
selling costs are greatly reduced. A
store similar to this one has been
opened in Denmark recently, also in
Orangeburg, Branchville and Barn
well.

COURT POSTPONED.
Session Will be Held Next Week, In
stead of Present Week.

At a meeting of the Bamberg Bar
association last week, it was decided
to request the postponement Of the
spring term of court of common pleas
one week, and in accordance with
this request no court is being held
here this week. Instead the court
will be convened here next Monday
morning, and will last one week only
if so much be necessary to clear the
docket of the business in hand.
All jurors drawn for the first week
of court are excused entirely from
jury duty. Those drawn for the Sec
ond week will serve during the se~
sion next week. The court officials
wish this expressly understood, as
there appears to be some confusion
in regard to it. Jurors were drawn
for two weeks, but as the first week
of court was dispensed with, only the
second week jurors will serve.
It is not likely that the court will
last through the week. Only CIVIL
cases will be tried at this session.

HAS MAIL DELIVERY.
City Delivery Service Inaugurated
Last Week i'm Denmark.

Last week city delivery of mail
was inaugurated in Denmark, and
now the residents of that little city
are enjoying the same facilities that
larger cities enjoy. An effort has
been made for some time past to Sc
cure the house delivery of mail in
Denmark, and the effort was reward
ed last week by the beginning of the
service.
One delivery a day is made. AS
soon as mail receptacles are placed
letters will be collected. The regu-
lations concerning this class of mail
delivery are the same as those en-
ployed in Bamberg. Mail boxes must
be secured and conveniently placed
on the porch or at the doors of the
homes to be served. A reasonable
time is usually given in which to pro-
cure these receptacles, which may be
in the nature of any kind of substan-
tial box.

DAVE FAINT HERE.
Famous Preacher-Engineer Address
es Baptist Congregation.

Dave J. FAINT, famous throughout
the south as the preacher-engineer of
the Southern railway, addressed a
large congregation at the Baptist
church here Sunday morning. Pre-
vious to the church service, Mr.. FAINT
spoke to the Mems Bible class, at
which there were about IS men pres
ent.
Mr.. FAINT is a speaker of striking
personality. Although he is not a
speaker of any oratorical talent or
fluent speech, he has something about
him that compels the closest atten-
ton, and his services are always
characteristic for their deep spiritual
uplifting power. He is an engineer
of the Southern railway, running
on one of the Southern's finest trains
from the north to the south. His
run is from Greenville to Atlanta.
Sunday he devoteS to conducting re-
ligious services, and he frequently
secures leave to conduct revival
meetings, which he has carried on
all over the south and in some Sec
tions of the north.
The subject of Mr.. Fant's talk
Sunday morning was taken from the
incident of the Old Testament in
which the axe came off the handle
and fell into the muddy water and
was made to float by the Lord. In his
characteristic manner this subject
was made to bring forth many lessons
for the unsaved and for the wavering
Christian. An invitation being ex-
tended to accept Christianity, some
twenty persons went forward to give
him their hands. The service was
Joined in by number of visitors from

Black and Mrs. Glenn Cope, respect
lively. Both of these meetings were
delightful occasions. A good crowd
of members was present and the prac-
tice of our little opera "Pinafore' was
in order.
The regular club programmes have

count of our practice. Delightful re-
freshments were served at both of
these meetings. The regular club
meeting for this week has been post
poned. This will be held at an early
date with Mrs. B. D. Carter.-Con-
tributed.
