"You can't fool all the people all the time," ait?fce people are finding out which place pays the highest price for cotton, as our receipts will show. This town has shipped more cotton already this season than any point on this division of the Southern Railway. * * * Last week four wagons loaded with cotton, from the Go van section, started to market. Two came to Bamberg; the others went elsewhere. The parties who came here sold their cotton for 5.75; the others sold for 5.52?same grade of cotton. Is any argument necessary to prove that Bam berg pays the highest prices? All we ask is that anybocty, no matter who, put the matter to a fair test. Bamberg is getting the cotton, too. Prices will tell. v Bamberg's cottou buyers are all Sumgait, uusujcss men. xuc lanuci can feel sure of being dealt with fairly here. They don't offer him a high price for one bale and a low price for others, but give him every point the market will afford on all he has. Our buyers here buy for the direct exporting houses, and consequently they can pay more than other places. We are not talking buncombe. We mean every word we say, and we cordially and earnestly invite a comparison with other places. All we ask is the opportunity and we will demonstrate the superiority of Bamberg as a cotton market. * * * Bamberg is the best cotton mar. ket in this section of country. We will give a fine hat to the person who can successfully prove that an) neighboring market is paying more for all grades of cotton than Bamberg is, six days in the week. It is the custom with other markets to pay a high price one day aud the next to pay a low price in order to even up. We heard of a man who a few davs asro carried four bales of "New York Under Tammunj Rule" is the title of an informing article 4pch Frank Moss, Counse for the Mazet Investigating Com mittee, has written for The Satur day Evening Post, of Pbi'adelphia After summarizing the notoriou: methods of Tammany rule, whereb1 the leaders enrich themselves at tin expense of the taxpayer, and run tin citv of New York as "wide open" a any Western mining town, Mr. Mos accounts for the helplessness of tin law-abiding majority and suggests ; means for the overthrow of th< iCroker regime.

Stick a pin herel * * * The attention of all melon growers in Bamberg county is directed to the effort to organize an association for the securing of better freight rates, and the good of melon growers generally. As it now stands, the railroads get all the protits tor freight, and the farmer gets the experience. It is useless to longer plant melons unless better freight rates can be secured. This can be done by organized and persistent effort. It cannot be done otherwise. The farmers hare the remedy in their hands. Will they take advantage of it, or will they, by their indiffereuce, let the matter go by default, and allow the railroads tc gobble uj* their hard earnings again next year? We hope to see a large attendance at the meeting to beheld in the court house the first Monday in October, and definite action taken to remedy the evil. Other counties are organizing; let's get up a strong working association. * * * New York Under Tammany Rule. LATE TREASURER SHORT. Mr. Tree's Accounts Show a Deficiency of Over Eight Thousand Dollars. Quite a large shortage in the accounts of a deceased county official came to light yesterday in a way that was niost unusual. The de-" ceased official's son, upon that official's death, was appointed to succeed him. It was the son who discovered the shortage, and upon him fell the most painful duty of communicating the facts to the governor, but he did not flinch from his duty, and in a straightforward manner made his report. A short time ago County Treasurer Free, of Barnwell county, having reached an advanced age, died. He had been treasurer of the coun ty for some six or seven years and was held in the highest esteem by all of his fellow citizens. No one drtamed that there would ever l>e anything like a shortage in his accounts. Even now 110 one can give any explanation as to how the money went, for Mr Free was a well-to-do farmer and a careful business man, and as far as known, did not need any money. The estate left by Mr. Free is amply sufficient to cover the shortage, and the bondsmen will lose nothing, uuless a Sale is forced at a sacrifice. He had a strong bond, and neither the State or county can possibly lose anything. The letter of the son of Mr, Free to the governor reporting the facts of the matter is as follows: Barnwell,*S. C., Sept. 1, 1899. To His Excellency, the Governor, Columbia, S. C, Dear sin It is my painful duty to report to your excellency that since takiug charge of the office of county treasurer for this county, and receiving the funds transferred from the accounts of mv father, the late treasurer, by his executrix, that a deficiency of $8,703,10 appears to be due by my father as eouuty treasurer. The amounts due by him were as follows: State funds $421,33 County funds .$ 5,281.14 School funds $11,051,54 Total $16,754,01 Thp anionnt of funds which inv father had deposited as county treasurer in the Bank of Barnwell and transferred to me on joint check of myself as his successor and his executrix, was $8,050.91, leaving the deficiency of $8,703.10 due as above 1 stated. My father left an estate worth approximating, including reaty and personalty, from $i 0,000 to $12,000, which his executrix and devisees desire to turn over to the sureties on his board to reimburse 5 them on their paying me, as the 1 successor of my father, the baleuce r due by him as treasurer. The ex; ecutrix and devisees have exhausted every means to raise the money to settle Che deficiency, and one of tfce 1 bondsmen has commenced a suit, on ? account of theircontingent liability, > against the estate. The sureties are , Mrs. E. M, Kennerly and Messrs. S. Gr. Mayfield, J. W. Lancaster, C, B. ' Free and P. W, Sandifer. I now deem it my duty to call the attention of the State officials to the condition of affairs, and will be glad to render every assistance possible in the adjustment of the matter. While clerk in wy father's office I knew of the amount of the different funds in his charge, but as he kept bis own bank book, it was only after his death that 1 discovered the discrepancy between the amounts in his charge and the amounts on deposit. Since the $8,050.91 was turned over to me, I have remitted the $421.33 due the State and have continued paying county warrants on county funds out of the money * * on hand. Yours very respectfully, E. D. Free, County Treasurer Baruwe)!. ?The State, Monday, Sept. 4th. Yesterday Senator S. G. Mayfield, who was one of the late County Treasurer Free's bondsmen, was in the city. He called upon the governor and upon the comptroller general and talked over the matter with those officials. He came here look over Treasurer Free's last settlement sheets in the comptroller's office. Mr. Mayfield has entered suit against the estate and has an expert now endeavoring to ascertain theexact amount of the shortage for which ' the bondsmen are liable. He says 1 there is no question about some ' $3,000 of tile reported shortage. 1 A certificate J n the office of the r comptroller shows that the dead treasurer l?d all the missing money 1 in the bank at Barnwell when he > made his last settlement about a . year ago. There is nothing to indicate what became of it. The .shortage is almost entirely confined to tne county school fund which is never paid into the Stjjte treasury, but remains in the hands of the > county treasurer. It; this case it was a kind of accumujaujig fund, and there was no method by whh'h the shortage.could have been dis covered by any one. Gov. McSweeiiey yesterday asked M the comptroller general to go to Barnwell and make a thorough ex ^ animation of the books and accounts s of the office and make a full report s covering the exact condition of d affairs.

Quite a pleasant sociable was given on the 23rd, ult., in honor of Miss Florrie Brabham, by Mr. and Mrs. Northrop Bellinger. The evening was passed very pleasantly, in J chatting, laughing, singing, etc., till quite a late hour, when each re- j turned to their homes, willing to be , claimed as Morpheus's slaves. The ' success of the evening was largely , due to the charming manner which , the hostess exercised in entertaining her guests. Misses Nelle and Eva Hanberry ' were the guests of Miss G. E. Jor- i clan not long since. Miss Eva is , - .? . ? ii < just from tlie city ny tne sea. Mr. George Kearse, of Colston, with his winsome sister, Miss Mary, were visitors of Mr. Bennie and Miss Belle Sandifer Saturday and Sunday. ' The union Sunday-school picnic ; at Bethlehem Lutheran church last Saturday was quite an approved : representation of the good work 1 that's being done there. The large 1 crowd assembled at au early hour. ' The choir began sending forth its anthem of welcome at 11 o'clock, 1 Miss Donie Morris acting as organ- 1 ist. Rev. J. H. Wilson then gave an interesting and beneficial lecture ' on "Patient Work," making sweet 1 his language by combining both liierarymid biblical praise of Christ. 1 When dinner was announced the 1 table fairly groaned beneath its ! weight of delicious viands. After ( dinner lemoftade was serve&till all | had sufficiently quenchew their thirst, when they were again invited 1 to the church to hear an excellent 1 lecture by Mr. F. N. K. Bailey of the S. C. C. I., of Edgefield, on "Education." After this fluency of marvelous words and beautiful language, the choir joined in another" anthem of goodbyes. We feel sure that the two lectures combined found a way to some young heart 1 that will rise, as a star, to call these 1 - - - ? i *1 1 two venerable gentlemen Diesseu. : The remaining part of the afternoon was spent in lemonading, promenadfug, merry chat, and healthful 1 laughter. A close observer might decide that some tender words of a ; loving nature were exchanged between some of the gallant youths and blushing maidens, judging by the pleasant looks, low conversation, and innocent smiles.
