Several towns in the State have estabk "dished bonded warehouses in which fanners can store their cotton for a small fee and draw eighty per cent of its value. Bamberg ought to be able to do as much for its farmers as other towns do for theirs.

Addresses the Farmers. f An alliance picnic was held at Maple Cane, in Colleton county, on ( he 7th instant, at which Hon. C. : W. Garris was present and addressed ; ;he assemblage. A reporter in the Pr&s arid Standard gives the fol- 1 oaring account of his speech: * 1 Last but not least came Hon. G. W. I Harris, who made the best and most prac- * :ical speech on the present condition of 1 he farmers and the remedies for their i :onditions that I have ever heard on the ] subject. I cannot attempt to give a synapsis of his speech, for it was lengthy, Wr> and at times eloauent. He does ' :iot believe that any relief can be legislat- s ;d for the farmers, but their remedy is at i aome and consists in energy in the field . md economy in tlie home. He thinks s free silver is out of the question. We need not hope for it. s The reporter is tuistaken in one i particular, however. iJ r. Garris did 1 not say he thinks free silver is out 1 of the question, but that if we ever i got free silver it would take hard f work and be a long time. For the ' farmers not to be lulled to sleep ; over the idea that free silver would < be a panacea for all their ills, but to < go to work now, with the advantages. ' at hand, to better their condition, and not to sit down ana wait for fiee silver. New Advertisements. T. C, ROUIS.

Your j presence will be an encouragement! both to us and to the pupils who | come to us from other communities. By your interest and presence they j will be made to feel that they are! among kind friends. It is one of the trials a boarding pupil has to j undergo when he enters school. They miss the influence of home j life; they are separated from the! protection of the home; the ease] and freedom of the home is painful-1 ly missed. But the kindly inter-j ests of our friends here in those! who come to the Fitting School,; have made these trying experiences! more easily endured. All this interest. 011 your part has! been highly appreciated. It has; given me a strong argument to in-j duce cur young people to come to i Bamberg. So c une again and meet I I : the new and old students and give! i t hem a welcome. W. E.

Mr. 3aion lhuiclifie, the recently Mected cotton weigher at Denmark, dropped dead Friday, shortly after noon, while weighing a bale of cotton on the Coast Line freight depot platform. The bursting of a large irtery was the cause of death, and the dread summons came so suddenly that the body of the stricken man ivould have fallen prone upon the platform had not a friend, standing near by, caught it in his arms. Although Mr. lirdcliffe hud been 11 bad health for some time, his sudden death was a great shock to the community, in which lie was universally respected. He was 61 rears of age, and leaves a widow, who is prostrated with grief. Dr. Wyuian peformed a post mortem on the body, and found that de\th was jausetl by an anuerism of tl^p aorta. Mr. Eadcliffe was an excellent citi sen and a gallant Confederate sol1 ior. He participated in twentyseven pitched battles, and was always in the thickest of the fight. His remains were interred m the rillage cemetery Saturday afternoon. Pickaninnies Burned to a Crisp. On Thursday night last a tenant louse ou one of Senator S. G. Mayield's'plantations, near Lees, was lestroyed by fire. In it, fast asleep, vere two pickaninnies, aged three md five years, the children of Carrie Inabinett and Georgia Jones, respectively, They were burned to a ;risp. Friday morning Magistrate E. T. LaFitte, acting as coroner, held an nquest over the charred remains. Fhe evidence adduced went to prove 1 hat the mothers of the black banes had been in the habit of going >ff to "frolics" at night, leaving the roublesorne kids locked in the house intil they returned ; and the jury eturned a verdict that the .children ame to their death through the minimal carelessness of their mothers. The two women were commited to jail to await trial on the se ious charge of infanticide at the December term of court. Denmark's High School Opens. The Denmark High School opened >n the 11th instant with an uniisuilly large attendance. The occasion was very interesting, a large lumber of patrons being present to rreet the new teachers and listen to several speeches made by citizens. Mr, J. Arthur Wiggins has built ipa model high school in this oomliuuity, and has begun his fifth rear as superintendent, assisted by Hisses Maggie Rirkley, of Camden ; Sell Pegues Evans, of Cheraw; tfaud Tillman, of Lancaster, and Vlary C. Leland, of McClellanville. During the summer months the ward of trustees had a fourth assistant's room and a neat library 'oom built. The building now presents a handsome appearance.^ Among the graduates of the high school last session, Messrs. Alfred Steadman and Herbert Hightower jave matriculated this session at Clemson, where they will take the Full textile course; Misses Maud Metz and Dora Turner enter WinLhrop College, and Misses Hattie md Ethel Kice, who also acknowledge the high school as the source af their preparatory education, return to Columbia College, Cattle Creek Campmeeting. Cattle Creek Campmeetiug commenced last Wednesday evening and will continue through to Sunday night. This is one of the oldest camp grounds in the State and we hope the meeting there this year will result in great good. Presiding Elder Browne will be in charge of the meeting. He will be assisted by the following well-known ministers: Revs. W.A. Betts, J. T McFarland, 0. D.Mann,T. C. O'Dell, G. E.I Stokes, J. 0. Youngue, and E. P. Hutson. Death of a Minister's Wife, Mrs. W. II. Wro'tou, whose husband was formerly an active minister of the- Methodist church, but who was superanuated by the last annual conference, died last Wednesday night at about 0 o'clock, after a few hours' illness, at Mr. Wroton's present home, on his father's Edisto river plantation, in Orangeburg county, about ten miles from here. She leaves six children to mourn her sudden taking off. She was a most excellent ladv, possessinggreat business tact and rare qualities aH an affectionate wife and devoted mother. The loving husband was utterly prostrated - by his sudden bereavement, and is no w confined to his bed. Her remains were interred in the village cemetery at Denmark Th itrsday afternoou. .Mill .Man Married. Mr. J. E. Yon, who came here from Edgefield recently to succeed Mr. Owens as overseer of the carding room in the cotton mill, took a trip to his old home last week, and on Friday morning last was married there to Miss Annie Reese. Mr. and olrs. Vun reached Bamberg Fridav evening, and were overO - whelmel \v th tiie congratulations of their many friends. There are to be no docked horses in Colorado. A law lias been passed making il unlawful to import any horses v.'ith docked tails, as well as illegal for a horse owner to so mutilate any animals he owns. A tine of of not less than *100 or thirty days imprisonment is the penalty. \ (traded School Opening. Monday morning was a lively dav ; for t he children of Hamberg. Vacation for many was ove'-, and the I r-chool beil was ringing,calling them back (o the work which they had laid aside in early summer. The day was not bright, nor propitious for a large tuni out", for a drizzling rain was falling, yet this did not deter the children in their eagerness to be present the lirst dav of school. | Around at the Graded School they began to arrive early, and by nine o'clock they seemed innumerable All tile teachers were present except Miss Pet Stephens, who is detained at home by sickness, but she hopes to begin her work in a few days. Miss Bertha Felder will teach the fifth and sixth grades until Miss Stephens arrives. A good many patrons of the school were at t be opening to show by their I presence their interest in the school, and to encourage the teachers in their work. After the devotional exercises by the principal, Mayor L. C. Inglis was called on and responded in words of congratulation and encouragement to the" students, urging them to take advantage of the present to fit themselves for future life. Mr, H. C. Folk, as chairman of the board of trustees, made a neat speech to the scholars, assuring them of his earnest desire to-see the school succeed. Xo cue has done more for the school than Mr. Folk. Me has spared neither time nor means to get the building ready for the opening, and with him and tlie other two gentlemen on the board there is no such tiling as failure. After the opening exercises were over, the scholars were enrolled and assigned to grades. It will be several days before all are fixed permanently in their grades. Thirtysix were put in the first and second grades; twenty-three in the third and fourth; twenty-three in the fifth and sixth; 25 in the seventh and eighth; four in the ninth. The school will increase considerably as the session advances, Denmark Not Jealous of Bamberg. The Denmark correspondent of the Xews and Courier has this to %ay in a recent letter: The officers of the law have been unable to definitely locate Lawyer G. \Y. M. Williams. Just after the occurrence with the Georgia constables he spent a week with a friend near the Bamberg and Barnwell line, but mysteriously disappeared just in time to escape from the Bamberg county sheriff. He has since been heard of in Aiken and Augusta; in fact, he was seen in Augusta a few days ago by a railroad employe, who was requested by Mr. Williams to bring back the news to his friends, that he expected to be with them again in a few days, around the old town pump. It is said that wherever he stops he puts out trus'v couriers who bring to him at the critical moment information concerning the officers of the law. It is thought that he will offer to pay up the fine imposed on him by the Georgia court and sue for peace, but very probably he will be arrested upon his return for other charges connected with the present matter. The leading men of this community do not like the report Solicitor Sawyer for^ warded to the Governor. They asserted that the conclusions drawn were too sweeping and carried with them a wrong impression to the reading public. Williams has some friends in this section. This place has never been the scene .-1 ~ r\( It l c rprl-1PCQ hflhitS u; a iiiOLanvv. Ui iiio 4WM*vww , The solicitor was impressed that Denmark, which meant the community, was aiding Williams in his trouble and escape, simply because Williams was hated by the people of Bamberg town. Mr. Sawyer never made a greater mistake. The people of this community are broadminded and considered the existing relation between Williams and the Bamberg citizens purely individual and personal. It would be a peculiar people that would persistently love when a sister town persistently persecuted a criminal or vice versa. The ^hole affair was local, involving matters between Williams and citizens of Bamberg town. Denmark has never wished to play a part in the matter. Local county officials were connected with the affair in the end, and Governor McSweeuey has promptly dealt with them. If he gathers information in the Philippines, and forms conclusions as he has done in this instance, Aguinaldo will certainly get his scalp. The people of Denmark are not vexed with Sawyer, but regret that he has given the kind friends of Bamberg town such peculiar information. Examination of Teachers. c Iii order that all teachers in the county may understand the whys and wherefores of the teacher's -examination to be held Friday, October 13, we publish the following letter from State Superintendent of Education McMahan to County Superintendent si ease: I write to inform you that at its last meeting on the loth instant, the State Board of Education ordered that an examination be offered in each county on Fridav, the 13th of October. This j was done for the following reason; In a I large number of counties the abolition of ! tiie September examination was not fully ! advertised and understood, nor was there a full advertisement of the fact that ut llie close of the Summer School there was offered an examination, open to all applicants for teachers',, certificates. .Moreover, it was necessary to have an examination for negro teachers in those counties in which no Summer School for them was located this summer; consequently the board has ordered this examinat ion. The questions will be submitted | by me and will be printed and sent to j you a day or two before the examination. Please advertise the matter fully at I once and let it be understood that all peri sons who expect to get certificates before I the February examination must apply, j as 110 special examinations will be made I under any circumstances. Let it be tin| derstood also that whites as well as nei groes will be examined, if they apply, j Those white teachers, who did not at: tend the Summer Schools and have not been excused by the Slate board at its last meeting, will have no other oppor! tunitv to be excused and their certificates, I if tlicy expire before another Summer i Scludl, will not be renewed. Hence, many of those had better stand this Ocj tober examination. French Masons Appeal. JL'auis, Sept.

Cotton Weigher Elected, The board of county commissioners met last Monday to elect a cotton weigher for Denmark, this position being vacant on account of the death of Mr. Aaron Radcliffe, which occurred last Friday. Tlu-rt were several candidates, and Mr. S. D. Guess was elected. A Pertinent (Question. A good friend of ours who is old enough to be something of a philosopher, said the other day interrogatively : "What must we think of a crowd of professed followers of the meek and lowly Jesus?a preacher of His word among them?who when they get together find delight not in commending only that which is good in their fellowmeu and women, but in viciously and venomously backbiting the character of some absent one, oftentimes in their intemperate zeal making statements which are a long ways from th* truth?" We don't know that our good friend meant his words to have a local ap plication, but if he did, we can only re-echo his question and ask: What do you think of such people?
