Letter From Arthur Nimmons.

Treasurer G. A Jennings re-
ceived an interesting letter from J.
Arthur Nimmons, who now lives in
Washington, D. c., a few days ago.
Nimmons was for years the popular
colored barber in Bamberg, and he
has scores of friends among the white
people, as we'll as colored, of the
city. The letter, in part, follows:
Your letter of several days ago
to hand. | really cannot express to
you in words how the contents Of that
letter affected me. Surely, after all,
old friends are true friends. AS |
read the contents of that letter | re-
called so many incidents that you
perhaps have forgotten that is proof
positive to me that in you l have one
true and tried friend in the true Sig
nificance of the term.
''At present l am confined to the
house. Have been sick in bed for
over a week, but when l saw in The
Herald that you had been sick | sat
down at once to write you as best l
can in my nervous state. When DR..
Watson here told me my dear friend,
Mr.. Monnie, was dead, | just had to
shed tears. | don't know that all the
people realize it like do, but l real
lied years ago that when the old solid
and staunch citizens of our town die
out-such men as tie late Mr.. Thos.
Black, Mr.. Copeland and Mr.. Brab-
ham-I tell you the city and COM
munity suffer a distinct loss; to say
nothing of Drs. Cleckley and Black,
and others. 1t is true that am up
here. but l am southerner, as they
all call me in the shop that l work.
There is not a single day that l 90
not think of my old home and my
old friends.
'sOur shop is located opposite the
Raleigh hotel, just off Pennsylvania
avenue, On 18th street. l have the
first chair. A conspicuous sign hangs
over my stand thus: "Nimmons from
South Carolina" Whenever a dis
paraging remark is made of my home
state in my presence, and she needs
to be defended I stand ready to func-
ton; therefore, I feel it very keenly
whenever l can't do it justly.
Il hope you have recovered fully
your strength by now and that you
are in the best of health. Take good
care of yourself. Quit the job II 1t
is necessary to the preservation OF
your health. I hope that 1 will be
able to spend one more good day with
YOU hunting and fishing on the Eds
to in this life"

The state of South Carolina needs
men of the character and attainments
of Mr.. Jesse F. Carter in public life.
Mr.. Carter is candidate for the posi-
tion on the supreme bench made va
cant by the death of Associate Justice
George w. Gage. He is Christian
gentleman whose life is absolutely
above reproach. If he is elected as
sociate justice, Mr.. Carter will lend
dignity and character to the supreme
court that will reflect honor upon his
state and county. Few lawyers in
South Carolina possess legal attain
ments in proportion to his-a fact
that is recognized by all those who
have been associated with him in his
successful practice in the state and
federal courts. His many Bamberg
friends feel very hopeful of his elec-
ton, believing that if this honor is
conferred on him he will be of genu-
inc service to the state.

Business Proposition.

There was no sentiment about
Herbert Jones. He met the girl ne
wished to marry and he proposed
like this:
MARY Dough, will you be my life
partner. l am business man. If you
are agreeable, l will sign up a mar
riage contract, We'll both sign, before
witnesses, and then we can go on with
the worlds work.
She gasped, but presently regained
her composure.
fortunately" she said, 1--WE had
a little business training myself, SO
we can discuss this proposed contract
properly and dispassionately.'
Il am so glad to find you so sensi-
ble," he told her.
She smiled sweetly.
"I regret l can give you nothing
better than second option" she said.
"What!' he exclaimed.
I'm afraid l have to inform you l
am already engaged-that is to say,
the first option is already taken. But
first option does not necessarily
mean a closed contract. If you don't
want to take a chance on second
option, say so, if you do, I'll drop you
line if 1 find myself on the matri-
monial market again.
"That's cold blooded!" lie COM
planned.
It's husin ness," she averred.
I'D rather have first option!" he
pleaded.
"a first option in such a case never
has been, and never will be, secured
by business methods" she replied.

We have just read over the SO bills
that have been enacted by the pres
ent general assembly and signed by
the governor. We publish them in
another place in the paper, and we
apologize to our readers for taking
up the space. If there is one single
bill in the whole lot that is of any
interest to the entire state, we fail
to find it. We note that the next
general election is to be again loaded
down with constitutional amend
ments. We did not count them, but
there must be a dozen or so consti-
tutional amendments in the list. Why
not do away with the constitution,
anyway? It does not seem to be very
satisfactory constitution by the num-
ber of amendments. 1t is pretty ex-
pensive to have the legislature meet
annually just to pass special lesis-
lation for the towns of the state.

MAIN STREET.

Two years ago Main street present
ed an appearance that was disgusting
to the eye, and still worse to the feet.
Today it is modern paved thorough
fare. The present city council is to
be commended in the highest terms
for this constructive piece Of work.
If the council does not accomplish
anything else, they have performed
good service to the town in paving
Main street. 1t is recalled that dur
ing rainy weather it was necessary
to span the street with all kinds of
objects, such as banana crates and
excelsior, in order to make it posi-
BILE to cross the street with any sort
of respect to the shoes.
Another thing that the city council
has done has been the vast improve
ment of the streets of Bamberg-
we believe-at very small cost. The
sand-clay streets are kept in as good
condition as any town Or city that we
know of, for the most part, and GER
tainly the streets are in better condi-
tion than they have been in years.

Ecipsed.

:'Oh, yes!" said Captain Kidd
"Many wicked things I did, as I sail
ed. I murdered William Moore, and
left him in his gore, full many miles
from the shore, as l sailed. But he
didn't starve to death and with last
expiring breath beg for food. l shot
him twice instead and whacked him
on the head, and left him lying dead
which was crude. l was buccaneer
without mercy, without fear, but
failed. I thought my record high
little rocked that by and by the world
would at me cry-this he walled
Bah, You buccaneer!" People
meet my ghost and jeer; You should
see a profteer!' Aye, failed.''

In another column of The Herald
today will be found a Timmonsvil!e
dispatch clipped from one of the daily
papers that ought to be read by ev-
erybody. 1t shows what may be ac-
complished on a small plot OF land.
This cclored family is realizing coed
income from the cultivation of a
three-quarter acre garden. If every
farm in South Carolina should be
operated on the same scale, we won

would be.
