The appeal in the famous case of Youmans vs. Bennett has been abandoned. The following appeared in the daily papers a few days ago, which no doubt means that this snds the case: "The cleri: of the Supreme Court bas dismissed the case of Rosa L. Youmans et al against Abe Bennett 5t al on motion of J. Ham Kirkland, Esq., of Bamberg county." Take Care of the Court House. The board of county commissioners should take some steps at once to keep the court * house and grounds in better condition. The building is not as clean as it should be, and there are one or two window panes broken. All around the building may be seen the marks of the tobacco chewer, the walls in some places being in a filthy condition from tobacco spit on them. There should be a law making it a misdemeanor, punishable by fine and imprisonment, for any person to chew tobacco or smoke in the court house. The county board should have necessary repairs made at once. A janitor should also be employed to take charge of the building and grounds and keep them in good condition. The grounds should be fenced in and walks laid out, and lawn grass, shade trees, and flowers planted. The court house is a magnificieut building, well located, and it should be kept up and made one of the prettiest places in town. We hope that the county board will take action on this matter at the October meeting and give us a public building that will be clean and grounds that would be an ornament to the town. The cost will be small, and the returns large. Ixii) House Burned. Last Friday about twelve o'clock the gin house of Mrs. Carrie E. Cop?, near Cope, caught fire aud was totally destroyed. The fire originated by a spark from the engine, which ignited some bales of cotton 011 the platform. About thirty bales of cotton were burned as well as the gin house, press, etc. The engine was saved by hard work, the engine house being a short distance from the gin house. The loss is about two thousand dollars, with no insurance. Bay Wliat You Owe. Two weeks ago we sent out bills to all subscribers who are in arrears. Some have paid us; others have not. There are some persons who' are considerably behind yet, and we wish to say to those that unless they pay the money due, they necfl not expect The Herald to continue its visits to their homes. We cannot ee?i ?i.. r?_ aiiuru 10 \? tiii niueiiuuen lor our money, and will strike those names from our list unless the amounts due are paid. It the paper is worth anything it is worth paying f>?r. and those who receive it must come up with the cash. We don't want to lose a single subscriber, but we cannot afford to work for nothing. Cotton is bringing good prices, and it seems to us that every one ought to be able to pay now. We are not asking f?>r charity, but f?>r tinmoney that is rightfully ours.

Last Tuesday morning the Carlisle Fitting School entered upon the seventh year of its existence, under auspicious circumstances. There was a good attendance, and more pupils will come in during the next few days. At ten ox-lock the opening exercises were commenced by a service of song and prayer, conducted by Rev. H. B. Browne, presiding elder of the Orangeburg district, who j came over to be present at the open- . ing of the school. Rev. T. C. . O'Dell, pastor of the Methodist ] church here, then made a short talk j to the students, assuring them of the kindly interest that he and the . citizens of the town had in the school ] and the students, ( He was followed by Rev. G. P. \ Watson, of Summerville, who made < a talk full of encouragement and sound advice. J Rev. Mr. Browne was then intro- duced. and he responded in a w-?y l that showed his deep interest in ] education and in the school here. ( After this, Mr. W. ? Willis, head t master, made a sensible talk to tne students, and thanked the people of < Bamberg for the interest manifested ( in the school, after which the work \ | of matriculation was entered upon. c The school this year is in charge c of W. E. Willis, head master; F. Eldon Dibble, first assistant; X. M. 1 Salley, second assistant; and Miss a Florrie'Black, music teacher. The ] primary department has been abol- ( ished, so there is no primary teacher f this year. i During the summer the buildings have been thoroughly renovated t and repainted, and everything is c now in first-class condition. One ] of our liberal citizens is seriously c considering donating a magnificent j gymnasium to the school, and lie is t pretty sure to do so. This will be j quite an addition, and if the idea is ( carried out a ^ell equipped gym- i nasium will be put in. The outlook for a successful year } is very encouraging, there already j being more boarding pupils than j last year, and the faculty is detei- i mined to make this the best year in the historv of the school. < y The Cotton Market. , Cotton is selling in Bamberg to* ( day for to 7 cents. The receipts of the week have been heavy, being i about 1,000 bales. The market is i firm, with buyers eager to get the t staple. - s Rev. TV. E. Johnson Called. The Rev. W. E. Johnson, pastor i of the Bamberg Baptist Church, t who tendered his resignation some months ago, to take effect the first ? day of January next, has been asked 1 to reconsider it. Last Sunday he 1 was unanimously called to serve the ( church another year at a salary of s seven hundred dollars. The salary of seven hundred dollars, while one 1 hundred dollars less than the salary s heretofore, is offered for the reason l that Mr. Johnson long since has been g of the opinion that night preaching i in Bamberg is a failure so far as c good results are concerned. In ac- t cordance with his views the church has resolved to dispense with night 1 preaching altogether, unless on i special occasions, hence the action ( of the church to reduce the salary to seven hundred dollars instead of \ eight, as the work will be so* much ] lighter. Mr. Johnson has hot de- ] termined what he will do, but his t membership and congregation have j strong hopes that he will remain. It would be unfortunate for the de- < nomination to lose the services of j such a scholarly man. ] Fire in Town. Last Thursday morning about one , o'clock the eugine house of the Bamberg Wagon Factory was dis- . covered to be on fire. Their black- 1 smith shop and grist mill were , located in the same building, and all j were totally destroyed. By hard work the wagon shop was saved, as well as the gin house. There was ( 1 no insurance on any of the machinery J or the building, and the loss is at . least $1,000. Barnwell News. [From the Barnwell People. j Senator Mayfield was in town on Monday. i Rev.

Cope's I.oss. OKAXCiKui Kw. Sept. Tb?One- of tio- DiOct serious count r\ fires this section lias known in years occurred yesterday and resulted in the burn-i ing of the ginnery of 3)rs. C. E.I Cope, about three miles from Cope's, j this county, together with fort}-six j bales of cotton, and thousands of j pounds of cotton seed. The lire was caused from a spark and was discovered, as tires usually are, when j there was almost no assistance at j hand, the ginnery having shut down for dinner, and all of the hands, with j but one or two exceptions, had gone to their homes, too far away to return in time to be of much service, j w /. i i ~:.v, .urs. v. ope k?sl ui-i gium-iequipped with two 70 saw gins, cotton press and elevator, ten bales of cotton and several thousand pounds of cotton seed, and her loss is placed at about ?1,S00. The rest of the cotton and cotton seed was owned by quite a number of persons, so that it makes the loss general, but at the same time, more easy to bear. Next to Mrs, Cope the heaviest loser was a negro, who lost eight bales of cotton. Two other parties lost four bales each, and the rest, one or two bales to the man, Exclusive of the cotton seed, the total loss is about ?3,000, and the seed will run the loss up to ?35,00. Ehrhardt >ews. The Ehrhardt High School opened the morning of the 18th inst. with i good attendance. Prof. Jones is 1 assisted this year hy Mr. P. C. Cullum, of Batesburg, S. C.

Mr. Editor, would you i charter us a column of your paper :f we would promise to load it up ivery week? [Certainly.] Our polite and efficient marshal, Mr, Homer Ruth, is now adorned with the insignia of his office, a >p:nitiful ladsre: he also carries a ^3 y Handsome leather club and a fine ; Jolt's revolver; so he will now be a error to the evil doers indeed. Our streets need working; that's 1 i self-evident fact. What are our ' :ity fathers waiting on? The bridge 1 jetween here and Mt. Pleasant * :hurch is really in a dangerous ( jondition. ^ The ginnery of Messrs. C. Ehr- ^ lardt & Sons is as popular this year 1 is last year, if not more so. Mr. 1 Ehrhardt says that he will be * )bliged to increase the capacity be- ( 'ore next year to accomodate his 1 nany patrons. ( The price of cotton, we are glad 5 o say, is on the rise, and we sin- s :erely hope it will go to ten cents. ^ Nearly all of our merchants buy :otton, and Mr. C. E. Brabham, of our town, comes down once a week, >ut we have no regular buyer who J nakes that his special business. J Jouldn't we support one? there is ( nuch cotton marketed here. * Mr. Carey Bishop recently moved 1 lis family into the house just fin 1 shed by Messrs. (J. Ehrhardt & c Sons. We are glad that Mr. Bishop ] s to make this his permanent home. 1 We were glad to see Messrs. An- 1 Irew Best and Ilam Kirkland on < )iir streets last Monday.

Past experience i in jail and penitentiaries have failed j to convince him that the way of the j i transgressor is hard. Several months ago he succeeded! in passing several forged checks in j _ Augusta, one for $100 on the Irish American Savings Bank and another for $125 on Day and Tannahil). On last Thursday lie left Barnwell and went to Augusta, expecting to j make a larger haul. On Friday he O 0 v ! j attempted to pass a forged draft j for s450 on the Georgia BaiTroad i Bank. The signature and endorsement could not be told from the genuine handwriting of the alleged 2 maker and endoisers of the draft, | ? and the cancellation of revenue jj stamps was so artistically done that; c the}* were well calculated to deceive; ? the average citizen. The cashier j| detected the fraud and the police g caught him in the S. C. and G. a freight yard, probably waiting for an outgoing train. A forged check and two drafts amounting in all to ?800 were found on his person, ile was lodged in jail to await trial.? Barnwell People. Paper and Paper Bags.

The Absurd Card of Thanks. It is time this absurd custom was abolished. There is no need of thanking your neighbors publicly . for observing a plain duty. It looks I is if some people like to make a :lisplay of grief when the.death angel invades their households. CJaids of thanks and resolutions of condolence can be abolished ultimately by insisting that they be charged . for at regular rates.' It is an im- J position upon newspapers to have ' :heir space occupied by matters ,hat are not of general interest to ;heir readers. After one has chron- ft cled the death of a person, and re- o. corded the observance of the last ?ad rites, it has done its part, and ihould be entitled to a discharge t from further duty. R Neal to Pay Up. A ttorney General Bellinger yester- . lay received a letter from Col. W.A. Seal, who is at his home in Pickens !jf county, stating that he would be in 11 Columbia Saturday or Monday to ^ pay the "amount due the State'' by U eason of the shortage in his ac- " counts as superintendent of the ,, i r-\ \ at . .1 4 . ji 11 leuitenuary. ooi. i\e.u requesieu ge ;he attorney general to wait on his ^ Dondsmen until he came here, as he j.J lid not want them given any more trouble about the matter. This is the third appointment which has been made for the settle nent of the penitentiary shortage. The attorney general has been ready for a settlement on ea -h preceding jeeasion and he will be prepared to ict for the State at this time. The s lelays have been on the other side !n each instance. It is eerta;n that the State will or loose nothing even if Col. Neal fails ft to pay his shortage, and in view of ' the recent procrastination, there is floubt entertaine 1 in some'quarters _ is to the ex-superintendent's intentions in the matter.

Rev Cortland Myers has iust pub lished tlirougli a New York firm, a little book entitled "Why men do not go to church," and it brings up li passage at arms which occurred T between him and General Horace J Porter at a Washington's birthday banquet given in New York, says the Philadelphia Post. The clergyman was called upon for a speech, iud getting warmed up in his subject, did not notice the flight of time _ until he was called to order by the .u presiding officer. He looked at his watch and saw that he bad taken an hour, although the speakers had been limited to fifteen minutes. He apologized to the audience and ^ remarked: "Over in Brooklyn I am iccustomed to speak for a long time to my congregation, and I often take two hours." Gen. Porter was the next speaker, fc md he opened his address by saying: re "The explanation of our reverend friend gives a complete answer to M that hitherto mysterious question why Brooklyn's people refuse to 11 patronize their churches."
