tThe newspaper men must he happy.
Nearly all of our exchanges
had a thanksgiving editorial last
week.
"Larry" Gantt has quit the newst
paper business and gone to farming,
but he seems to be raising more
"Cain" among the county officials of
Spartanburg county than anything
else just now.
Some newspapers have published
the statement that Hon. A. Howard
Patterson, of Barnwell, has an
nomiced his candidacy for governor
Has he? We folks overrun this pari
of the country have not heard it.
Tt now seems almost, certain thai
I I Mr. Roberts, the recently electee
polygamist representative in congress
from Utah will not be allowed
to take his seat. The women art
working against him, aud, as usual,
they'll come out ahead..
The newspapers are "catching 011'
to the prosperity boom. Several new
ones have been started recently,
others improved and enlarged, and
now the Columbia Record is to bt
ran b_v a stock company, many improvements
being made. Mr. Gee
R. Koester will I e editor, and Columbia
is 10 have a first-class after
noon paper.
Several persons have spoken to us
about increasing the subscriptioi
v price of The Bambeeg Herald t<
$1.50 a year, saying that the papei
was now one of the very best week
.lies in the State and well worth th<
money. We thank our friends foi
their interest in their county paper
and while we realize the truth am
justice of their opinious, we shal
keep the price at $1 per year, fo]
the preseut at least. By doing this
v we expect to put the paper iuto th<
hands of every persou in Bamberg
I county, thereby making it more valuable
to advertisers. We believe ii
will be better for ns all, and if out
subscription list continues to increase
as it has since we took charge
the wisdom of this course will b<
justified.
THAT STATE HOUSE MATTER.

Hc%e completed, if it can be dorn

If not, we're "agin it,'" says th
Bamberg Herald. The State Houst
can easily be completed withoul
raising taxes. If it is not com
plefced, the bill for repairs will bt
larger each year.?Columbia Record
Will the Record kindly give us
some figures on the subject? How
much is spent in repairs each year,
and what will it cost to complete tht
building?
Afraid of Small Pox.
Gov. McSweener yesterday received
a letter from six citizens ol
Olar saying: "We, -theundersigned
jurors of Bamberg county, for the
term of court to be held Monday, the

Splendid Advice.
jg An exchange, in discussing the
jp> question of hnildino up a town and
baviug confidence in the same, is
^v. not far from right, in the following:
;w-. "Either run a town with vim or just
sell out; and leave it. Men who art
if. all the time trying to get out of bus*
iness will never try to build up either.
One of two things mnst be donerun
a town for all it's worth, get up
steam and keep it up, or quit tbt
whole thing, slide out and let. nature
: take its course. Do you want trade:
fe Bid for it. Do you want business
J I to come to your town? Do you
want a prosperous town, where people
can c?me who are disposed tc
v make their home? Then do awav
with, bury from sight all jealousies,
v - -. all spite work; work no more for few
individuals, but work ncore for common
prosperity and mutual benefit.
Wake up, rub your eyes, roll up
your sleeves and go to work! Don't
work with fear and trembling, hut
take it for granted that blood will
tell. Leave results with themselves,
borrow no trouble, but all unite tc
make it the biggest kind of a city.

shortly after returning to this
State assumed pastorial charge of

1 the saints of the Welsh Neck church.
His next pastorate was in Newberry

Fires This Week.
Last Monday morning Mr. J. \V,
llilJ, who was passing tlie residence
of Treasurer Dickinson, noticed
smoke issuing from the roof Upon
investigation the lire was found to
be lip-stairs between the roof and
ceiling, caused no doubt by rats. :
The flames were quickly extinguished
but the furniture in the parlor below
was damaged by water to some
extent, which is fully covered by insurance.
The same day fire was discovered
in the roof of the boiler room at
the factory, but it was extinguished
before any damage of consequence
was done, as the factory is so well
equipped for lighting the lire fiend.
Mr. J. W. C. Reed, who occupies
the dwelling out on the Cannon's :
bridge road, formerly occupied by
Mr. G, A. Jennings and still owned
by him, was not so fortunate. The
building was seen to be on fire last
Tuesday morning, in that portion of
the house used as the kitchen. It no
doubt originated from a defective
flue. A considerable portion of the
roof was destroyed, but the loss is
fully covered by insurance.
"'Rut 'tis an ill wintl that blows
nobody good" was probably the first
thought of the school children yesterday
afternoon when the fire bell
gave the alarm and the graded school
building was found to be on fire.
They saw a good many happy holidays
ahead, but alas for their hopes.
The fire was put out without much
trouble, and the scholars will find
their teachers awaiting them at the

A Small Pox Remedy.
A correspondent of the Stockton,
California, Iierald writes as follows:
"I herewith append a recipe which
has been used to my knowledge in
hundreds of cases. Jt will prevent
or cure small pox though the piltings
are filling. It is as unfailing as
tate and conquers in every instance.
It is harmless when taken by a well
person. It will also cure scarlet
fever. Here is the recipe as I have
used it, and cured patients that
learned physicians said must die.
Sulphate of zinc, one grain: half a
teaspoonfnl sugar; mix with two
table-spooufulls of water. When
thoroughly mixed, add four ounces
of water. Take a spoonful every
hour. Either disease will disappear
in less than twelve hours. For a
child, small doses, according to age.
If counties would compel their
physicians to use this, there would
be no need of pest houses. If you
1 i ? .L:_
value advice ana experience, use mis
for the terrible disease."
Catarrh Cannot be Cared.
with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
is a constitutional disease, and in order to
cure it you must take internal remedies.
Hall's catarrh cure is taken internally,
and acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces. Hall's catarrh cure is not
a quack medicine. It was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this country
for years, and is a regular prescription. It
is composed of the best tonics known,
combined with the best b.lood purifiers,
acting directly on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two ingredients
is what produces such wonderful
results in curing catarrh. Send for testimonials

A Cure For Small Pox.
Mr. D. Reeves, who has been with
Eecle8 & Rryau since '71, hands the
Charlotte Observer a clipping which
he culled from a newspaper twelve
years ago. He believes in the recipe,
and as small pox talk is in the
country now, The Observer reproduces
it for what it is worth:
A correspondent of the Liverpool
Mercury writes to that journal as
follows: "I ant willing to risk my
reputation as a'public man if the
'vorst case of small pox cannot bt
effectually cured in three days simply
by cream of tartar. This is the
sure and never failing remedy: One
ounce of cream of tartar dissolved
in a pint of boiling water, to be
drank when cold at short intervals.
It can he taken any time, and is a
nrAtr^nhitive ns well jks acurative. It
is kuown to have cured in a hundred
thousand cases without a failure. I
myself have restored hundreds by
this means. It never leaves a mark,
