THURSDAY, March 26, 1903.

Mr. W. E. Gonzales has been madeeditor of The State newspaper, filling theplace made vacant by the killing of hisbrother. N. G. Gonzales. That he willfill the position with ability and fearlessness,

all who know him are assured.** *

A new phase of the race question hascome to the surface. A fellow whostands up for social and political rightsfor the negro is in danger of being chargedwith having negro blood in in his veins.This view of the question will no doubthave the effect of quieting some blatantreformers.

Some (xood ArgumentEditor Bamberg Herald..In the

discussion as to the advisability of votingfor the issue of bonds for the purpose oferecting a graded school building forBamberg school district No. 14, one importantfact has been overlooked, andthat is that the constitution fixes threemills tax on all taxable property forschool purposes. This tax in Bambergcounty amounts to about eight thousanddollars and is divided among the schoolsin proportion to the enrollment; thereforeif Bamberg district No. 14 should buildand maintain a first class graded schooland thereby offer exceptional advantages,the enrollment would be increased bythe attendance of children whose parentswish to send them to a good school, anddistrict No. 14 would receive a proportionatelyincreased amountjof this fund inproportion to the increased enrollment,which would aid to a great extent inmaintaining the school.Whpthcr we hnild nn the school or not

' we will be compelled to pay this tax becauseit is fixed by the constitution, thereforeif we would look to our best interestwe will try and get all the benefit that wecan out of this tax and at the same timegive to the citizens of our county the advantagesof a first-class graded school fortheir children. There is no question but

- that this school would increase the valueof the property of every citizen of thedistrict ten times the amount of the taxesit would take to build it. Denmark, OakGrove, Govan, Hopewell, and other districtspay three mills special tax; in Bambergdistrict No. 14 the railroads andcorporations pay one-third of the taxes

! * of the district, then why should we thecitizens of this district object to the threemills special when other districts notso wealthy pay it and when we knowthat so much can be accomplished withit towards the advancement of the educationaland material interests of thecommunity.Reference has been made to the poor

man and the poor widows being taxed topay for the school building. In answerto this wre will take as an illustration a

poor person who has five children and'jbh owns and pays taxes on $100 worth of

property. At three mills he wrould pay30 cents and for this he would have theprivilege of having his five childrentaught for nine months; on the other

gi hand if the lowest tuition, $1.00 perlmonth, had to he paid, it would amountto $45 per session. This comparison, inmy humble judgement, should convincethe people of moderate means that it is totheir interest to vote for this levy.

I trust that every citizen in the districtwill cast his vote in favor of such a

worthy cause.John F. Folk.

at the end of our last term, but the jail isnow crowded with both white and coloredmen and it will take a number of days toclear it. The following white men willbe tried for murder: George Murdaugh,who killed Isaiah Polk at the latter'shome during- the Christmas holidays;Magistrate Behling, who killed Henry M.Blitch near Young's Island; and AllenAdams and Henry Hoff for killing HenryM. Jaques near Cottageville severalmonths ago.

Supervisor J. O. Jaques will also betried at the approaching term for officialmisconduct. It will be remembered thatJudge Klugh quashed the indictment,but the case was carried to the supremecourt and was remanded to the circuitcourt for trial.

J. W. Carter and Allison Herndon,white men, were arrested about a yearago for stealing a horse. Herndon wastried and acquitted. Carter, however,skipped his bond. Herndon on his trialput the entire thing on Carter. Carterwas arested a few days ago by SheriffOwens and is now in jail awaiting histrial.Jim aud Charles Robinson, two white

men, have been in jail several monthscharged with stealing hogs.There were four candidates in the

Observations,The spirit which prompted the State

company to dedicate its editorial columnsto its departed chief, is one w hich we

strongly admire. This is a splendid wayti) preserve the memory of a worthy man,and as Lowell has said :

"A great man's memory is the only thing,With influence to out last the presentwhim.

And bind us as when here he knit out

golden ring."*

If President Roosevelt would agreewith George Elio t when she says in her"Middle march," that, "the fittiest man

for a particular post is not always theb.*st fellow or the most agreeable," we

think that he would save himself a lot of

uupleasantuess, his countrymen a lot oftrouble, and be doing the negro a nalservice.

If it should become the custom to rewardmen for how little they ever accnnplished, just think of how prominenta place would be reserved in the Hall ofFame for Gen. Nelson A. Miles!

The .School Building Matter.Editor The Bamberg Herald -The

people of Bamberg school district haveread with much interest the letters ofCol. Counts in opposition to the plan nowon foot to build and equip a much-neededschool house for the poor"as well as therich children of the district, and havenoted with pleasure your replies thereto.No one is surprised in the least that

the Colonel opposes this or any othermovement that would require him topull out a few dollars to assist in buildingup and improving this community.He ha9 lone since "soured" on the townand has repeatedly expressed a desire toget out of and away from Bamberg andhas on more than one occasion said hewould leave here if he could dispose ofhis property at one-half its value. Couldanything else be reasonably expected ofa man occupying such position ?But how different with Gen. Bamberg

to whom the Colonel alluded iu his lastarticle as having joined hands with himin this fight!.A fight to deprive the youthnow living in this community, as well as

generations yet unborn, of those comfortsand educational advantages which they,have a right to expect and even to demandof us and which are necessary to fit themfor lives of healthfulness, usefulness andhonor as they become men and women.

It is said that unusual strength ofmind and character is required to preventa man from becoming "soured" when theinfirmities and afflictions of old age beginto creep upon him, and the record of Gen.Bamberg's life is such that it would behard to conceive ot anytning mat nngnihappen to cause him to raise his hand inopposition to any movement looking tothe development and improvement of histown and the elevation and betterment ofthe youth of his native county. Hispurse strings have never been closelydrawn when his help was needed in a

righteous cause.How then, for the sake of a few paltry

dollars needed in the way of taxation forthe education of the poor of oureommunity,as well as the improvement of our

town, could he assume the role assignedhim by Col. Counts? Such a thing can

scarcely be imagined of that man, whohas already given his tens of thousandsfor the cause of education and Christianity,that man in whose honor our proud littlecounty bears its name and in honor ofwhose brother the name of our little citywas changed from Lowry's. No. Verilyno! Surely there must be some mistakeand we hope, Mr. Editor, to see a denialin your next issue. Citizen*.Bamberg, S. C., March 24,1903.

Cadet Slang.No matter where one goes he is sure to

be accosted by a slang expression. On thestreet, in the office, in the college, evenin the church, one discourses in slang.In colleges, of course, slang reaches itshighest development.so far has it gonein fact that many English professors are

fearful lest the proud language whichthey teach, will soon be a mere bit of a

"slang" dialect, in no college aoessiangfind a lodging place so readily as in a

military college where one is taught to bebrief in all things. Thus it happens thatthe Citadel possesses probably the finestslang dialect in the South. As a wholethese words have no meaning to a "cit,"but without them the gay cadet wouldsoon be obliged in the absence of a dictionaryto keep his mouth'shut.The following are a few examples

which have been used for "generations"and have been sanctioned by all: The"arena" is that part of the "quadrangle"employed by "tourists" in their "travelsabroad;" a cadet is "at home" when underarrest; to "break" barracks is to go onleave without permission; to "pull one'sleg" is to report a cadet for some minorolfense. For a "loo" to "kid" a "rat"into taking "gaul tonic" with a "kragpoint" is equivalent to a lieutenant givinga recruit a mixture of vaseline and quinineby the use of a Krag-Jorgensen bayonet.In order to save breath the cadets says:the "O. D." has sent the "O. G." to the"0. C." on "O. B.," instead of the officerof the day has sent the officer of the guardto the officer in charge on official business.The orderly of the room is always the"chamber maid;" one always speaks ofthe superintendent as "Sujie," a corporalas "corp." "Uncle .Billy's" (tne i^uartermaster)"variety" (bill of fare) includes"wasp nest" (bread),"axle grease"(butter),"muck" (cow peas), "saltpetre" (tea),"mush" (hominy), "tangle foot" (prunes)etc. "Pittal Record" is the surgeon's reportsent to "little George" every morning,and which contains the names ofthose cadets, who have "bummed" "Ex.M. D.," " 'scused drill" etc., for variouscauses.all the way from "injured"knuckles, "sudden attacks of nausea,""weak eyes" and "cut" foot (ingrowingtoe nails).To a cadet who is perfectly familiar

with the "ropes," this slang is alwaysready at the right time; but often "cits,"who hear the "terms" and attempt to re-

peat them, tind themselves in very badplight from a too frequent use of them.Thus it happened that a few weeks ago a

Senior from one of the literary collegesin the upper part of the State dropped into see a cadet, and heard some of the slangwhich is used most often. Thinking that;he cadets used these "terms" at all times,lie undertook to appear "bright" with a

young college girl who sat next him at;he Confederate Home "Affair." After a

little flirting he began a conversation, butwas soon surprised to see that his friendtiad not answered. "Why'what's up'now "

lie asked, "are you afraid that teacher:>ver there will 'pull your leg.' " Seeingliis mistake, the senior promptly "nulledjut" and has never been heard to "play"with our slang since. <

What He Told the Judge.Represantative Clayton, of Alabama,

tells a story of the way a representative 1Texas lawyer rebuffed a judge who was tdisconcerting him with questions:

"It is on S. II. Cowan, a prominentlawyer of the Lone Star State, and at- 1torney for the National Cattlemen's association.They had a judge in Texaswho was a terror to the lawyers. Ireckon he was something like the lateMr. Justice Miller, for he would go atthe lawyers practicing in his court andevidently try to bowl them off their feet ;by vigorous questioning. i

"Well, Cowan, then a young lawyer,was trying a case before three judges, ofwhom the man I have just mentionedwas one. He went for Cowan severely,and the lawyer was nearly out of thering at such a bombardment of questionsfrom the bench." 'Now. don't be disconcerted by my

questions, Mr. Cowan,' said this judge.'Answer me just as you would the justiceof the peace over in your county if youwere trying a case before him."At that Cowan was ready, quick as a

flash."I always tell him,' said he, boldly, 'to

; keep his mouth shut.'i "The other two judges could not refrainfrom laughter at that sort of rebuff.

" 'This judge,' remarked the chiefjustice gravely, 'will now have to keephis mouth shut.'"

A Remarkable Case.One of the most remarkable cases of a

cold, deep-seated on the lungs, causingpneumonia, is that of Mrs. Gertrude E.

number of remedies to no avail until I, used One Minute Cure. Four bottles of

this wonderful remedy cured me entirelyof the cough, strengthened my lungs and

SEYERE ATTACK OF GRIP

Cored by One Bottle of Chamberlain'sCough Remedy.

"When I bad an attack of the grip lastwinter (the second one) I actually curedmyself with one bottle of Chamberlain'sCough Remedy,'' says Frank W. Perry,Editor of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N.Y. "This is the honest truth, I at timeskept from coughing myself to pieces bytaking a teaspoonful of this remedy, andwhen the coughing spell would come onat night I would take a dose and it seemedthat in the briefest interval the coughwould pass off and I would go to sleepperfectly free from cough and its accompanyingpains. To say that the remedyacted as a most agreeable surprise is puttingit very mildly. I had no idea that itwould or could knock out the grip, simplybecause I had never tried it for such a

purpose, but Jt did, and it seeded with thesecond attack of coughing the remedycaused it to not only be of less duration,but the pains were far less severe, and Ihad not used the contents of one bottle *

" In consulting with my druggist he advisedMcElree's Wine of Cardui and Thedford'sBlack-Draught, and so I took it andhave every reason to thank him for a newlife opened up to me with restored health,and it only took three months to cure me."Wine of Cardui is a regulator of the

menstrual functions and is a most astonishingtonic for women. It curesscanty, suppressed, too frequent, irregularand painful menstruation, falling
