"We hear complaints almost every day. Secretary Holloway informs us that the prospect for a fine exhibit and large attendance at the State Fair is very flattering. Notwithstanding the bad weather last week, a number of our friends from the country came in and squared up with The Herald. Don't forget that the hour for Sundayschool at the Methodist church has been changed to four o'clock in the afternoon. Let everybody attend. Missionary i;ally day will be observed by the Methodist Sunday-school next Sundav afternoon, and a full attendance is requested at the exercises. The merchants here say they have had the best trade this fall they have kDown for many years. Lots of goods have been sold in the past few weeks. If you want to buy'a typewriter come to The HebaLD office and let us show you the merits of the Blickensderter?a good machine at a low price. Mince meat at Huggins's, ten cents pound. The sugar cane crop in this county appears to be a large one, and, judging from appearances, home-made syrup and hog and hominy will be plentiful this year. The government is requiring all mail matter to be weighed at the post-offices every day for thirty-five days in order to get a basis on which to renew contracts with the railroads. Mr. L. H. Wannamaker has been elected clerk and treasurer of the city of Orangeburg. He was at one- time clerk of court of the county, and is fully qualified for the duties of his new position. Bargains at Byrd's in clothing, shoes, and hats. * Subscribers continue to throw bouquets at us. Many of them are showing .their appreciation of the improvement in the paper in a substantial way, and that's the kind of encouragement we like to have. Beautiful line decorated parlor lamps, from $1 to $6.50, at Brooker's. The people of Bamberg county approciate a good thing, surely. The way new subscribers are rolling in makes us feel good, and shows that our efforts to print a good newspaper are appreciated by the people. A child can buy goods at J. A. Byrd's as cheap as grown folks. The board of trustees of Boiling Springs camp ground have offered a re ward of one hundred dollars for the apprehension and conviction of the parties who burnt the stand art?thht place ^ fow weeks ago. * Go to J. A. Byrd's for stylish dress goods. The new subscribers continue to pour in, and the best part of it is that they all pay cash in advance. We appreciate this encouragement on the part of our people, and will endeavor to merit their kind words and support. Farmers see Breoker forscane m ils before buying. We want a good correspondent at every post office in the county?one who will write us news. W e don't want to publish trash.

A Dice cooking stove with ware for $8.50 at Brooker's. Higher priced ones if t*mi want 'em. Again last week, it seems our cotton quotations were too low. We quoted cotton last Thursday at seven cents, and plenty of the staple* sold here the same day for 7?c. We were too busy to attend to the maiter personally, and trusted it to others, but it seems our information was incorrect. Have your measure taken at Bvrd's for a tailor-made suit. Nice line of samples, f and Move CAN FIT YOU. We hope the preseut price of cotton will not keep our farmers from sowing an abundance of oats and wheat. There is no better way to keep up the prices of cotton tliau to let it be known that a large acreage will be devoted to oats and wheat. And don't forget about the tobacco crop. Trv tobacco too.

A state of actual war exists to-day between England and the Boers, but it is not known whether the first shot has been fired when we go to press.

Bessinger's little grand! daughter picked 117 pounds of cotton on 1 nintli Wo Viarl ..1 in . p $5UU, witn not a aoiiar 01 insurance. The fire is thought to be the woik of incendiaries, and as vill he seen by the advertisement in another column, Mr. Smith offers a reward of ?100 for the arrest and conviction of the parties. The fire was discovered Tuesday morning about dayhght, b^t the building was almost burned down at the time, fart of the bridge in front of tbe gin house, was saved. It will be remembered that this is the mill pond that has been reported as a nuisance, and there is a case now pending against Mr. Smith. The dam was cut some time ago by unknown parties. No Pay, No Paper. When we took charge of The Herald we found some names on the subscription list who were owing for several years. We have not struck them from the list, as we wanted to give them a chance to pay up. We have sent each person owing a statement of indebtedness, and unless they pay the amount due i y November 1st, we shall stop sending our paper. We dont want to be hard on anybody, but money is plentiful now, and it seems to us that e "eryhody who wants to pay, can do so. We cannot and will not continue to send out the paper ! to persons who cannot or will net pay, and we must have the money 1 due us. We don't want to lose a single subscriber, and earnestly hope every delinquent will get square t>;? our books before the tirst of No; vi-mber. If toe paper is worth anything, it is worth paving, for and we J don't want to force it on any one. ; j E. E.

Iler death was a i shock to many people, as it was not: thought she was dangerously ill. The remains were buried Monday morning at the family burying ground above town, and the funeral services were conducted by Rev. T. C. O'Dell. A large concourse of relatives and friends were present, snowing me uigu esieeui in nun-ji the deceased was held. Mrs. Miley was a sister of Maj. E. K. Hays, and was sixty-five years of age at the time of her death. She had been a widow for many years, and leaves only one child, Mr. W. S. Miley, The deceased was a consistent member of the Methodist church, and her sweetness of disposition and kindness of heart made everybody love her. Truly a good woman has gone ttvher reward. New Telegraph Office. The Postal Telegraph Company is considering the advisability of opening an office in Bamberg. The line now runs along the old Charleston and Augusta rood, about two miles from town. It is said that the contract for the construction of a branch line from this place out to the main line has already been given out, and that it will be built immediately. The office will no doubt be located over Mr. H. C. Folk's store. The Cotton Market Cotton is selling at 7 cents to here today, and has sold this week for 7.35. The demand is good, and 'he receipts for the week are about 600 bales. Pastor Pounded. Rev. W. E. Johnson, the popular pastor of the Baptist church, was i the recipient of a magnificient , pounding at the hands of the ladies j and members of his congregation yesterday afternoon. About four o'clock the ladies began to arrive at his residence, laden with good things for Mr. Johnson and family. This j shows the high esteem in which pas- : tor Johnson is held by his people, and their thoughtfulness and kind- j ness is greatly appreciated by him. . Text Books. 1 B. F. Johnson & Co., of Richmond, Ya., have recently sent us copies of their Hart's Grammars, primary and advanced, and Lee's primary and j new school histories. While we 1 have not had time to make a thorough examination of their contents, still a superficial examination convinces us that there is merit in the books, and that Lee's history is essentially the one that should be used in Southern schools. Then, too, their books are cheaper than other text books of a similar grade, while the print and binding is better, if anything. Hart's Grammars treat the subject of grammar in an extremely clear and simple manner. They are concise, full, and accurate, and peculiarly adapted to the needs of our schools. They .have alreadybeen introduced into a number of public aud private schools in the South and West, and are being used with the most perfect- satisfaction. Lee's Histories have' created a furor in educational circles, aud we hope and believe they will replace entirely the unfair histories in use heretofore, Tennessee has recently adopted this book for exclusive use for the next five years, and South Carolina would do well to follow her example, This firm also publishes a number of other text books, which are prepared more especially for use in the South and, being a Southern firm it is manifestly patriotic ffiht our Snnt}?orn cnhnnl;: ehnnirf iisa honks K^VUIUViU WVilVVAV WMVkbAVft %*WV VWVMW by Southern authors and printed by ] a Southern concern.

Nothing more was seen of bin] until I about S o'clock wheu the agent of s the Southern lioau at East Denmark ; went to the office. He went in and i | was at work on his books- A little later his son and a friend came down, , and the friend was requested to go ? around to the back part of the office 1 and shut in the wiudow blinds. He . soon came back and reported that there was a man sitting with his back against the wall with a pistol in his hand. The matter was reported to Mr. G. W. Hightower, the inteudant of the town, who prompt | ly came to the depot. An examination was made and the ' man was found to be stone dead. He had quietly sat down and leaned I back against the wall, took out his ' pistol, put it to his right temple and pulled the trigger. The bullet did its work well. Miss Marie Sou tag, 1 who keeps a store just across the street from the depot, says she heard '1 ' v __ i' a 1 ' _ tlie pistol wneu u was urea, jusi after dark. Coroner Bessingar will be notified Friday morning when an inquest will be held, at wliich time the man may be identified. He looks to> be about -iO years o|d, and is well dressed and about six feet high. The coroner held an inquest Friday over the remains of the stranger. The verdict of the jury was "that the deceas d came to his death by a pistol shot wound indicted by hisown hand." No papers i were found by which he could be identified. On his right arm, just 1 below the elbow, was tattooed the picture of a woman and the name of 1 ORANGEBURG, S. C. who will give, vou as low grices afld as easy terras as any ty>visc }n America.
