The idea of raising a fund for the widow and children of Gen. Lawton, who was recently killed in the Phillipines, is a noble movement, but it seems to be the heighth ol ingratitude on the part of the government not to care for the loved ones of soldiers killed in battle. k No doubt if the camp followers and army- bummers of the late civil war were removed from the pension lis list Uncle Sam could afford to provide for the needy families of brave, deserving soldiers. * * Sometimes we are inclined to believe that the people in Bamberg g don't want a newspaper in the town. Some of our citizens?who haven't ??- anything against the paper that we know of?never patronize us in an advertising way, and then send their - job printing out of town without if\- even giving us a chance to bid on it. . We know that The Bamberg Herald benefits the town and its business men, and we certainly feel that our work ought to be appreciated to the extent of patronizing " ome euJ | terprises. *** Rev. Dwight L. Moody, the evan" gelist, died at his home in Northfield, Mass., last Friday. His death *1'.- is a distinct loss to the Christian church and the world generally. Mr. Moody made his life-work the saving of souls, and, avoiding the sensational methods and questionable language of so'many evangel'sts, [if he "went aboutjdoing good." Mr. Moody has built for himself a monT: ument in the hearts of men more enduring than brass or marble, for he labored solely for the good of others. Mr. Moody was not an ora tor, but his plain, earnest manner U'C-V mva him a u/nnflorfnl inflnorir>o nvor IgOVV U1UX C? n VtiUV/iXUA illUUVIIVV VIV? the minds of men. We have 110 opinion as to what policy Got. McSweeney will recommend in his annual message relative ?; *0 the dispensary, and, to be per fectly candid, we don't much care. The governor can go his own way, unhampered by any advice from us. We only want to utter a word of warning. Don't try to ride two horses, governor. Let your opinion be what it may we don't care. But I let your utterances on this subject be clear cut, concise, and so plain that there can be no possible doubt as to your position. If you are goiug to be a candidate next year, temporizing won't do. And silence won't do any good, while on the T ;ther hand it may do you infinite harm. Bamberg can learn a valuable lesson from the Florence fire if it will. For months Mr. Hartwell M. Aver, editor of the Florence Times, had been agitating the subject of water works, but his readers were indifferent, Then came the fire, destroying $150,000 worth of property, which could have been prevented had there S been a sufficient water supply. Now ? the town is going to have an up-todate system of waterworks, but enougii property was uesnu^ru iu |g,. the recent fire to have built a system complete. We hope that our peoE? pie will take warning in time. After | * a destructive fire has laid the business portion of the town in ashes, some of our citizens will suddenly get converted to the waterworks pfej- idea, forgetting to grumble about taxes, but why why not build now ? * Don t let it be a case of locking the stable alter the horse is gone. * * The Port .Royal dry dock is in I Deed of repairs, and the News ami Courier wants to have it moved tc Charleston, and with this end in view, no doubt, a candidate for. Congress from that city has developed in the person of Mr. Jos. W. Barnwell, who has announced his intention of opposing Col. Wm. Elliott in the next campaign. Mr. Barnwell 'S now State Senator from Charleston county, and if he will take our advice he will hold on t.o * his present job, for we think he will be beaten. The wish is 110 doubt father to the thought, for we can see no valid reason for displacing the present member. Col. Elliott has been lighting Republican majorities ever since we've known anything about him, anil it seems rather ungrateful to displace him just as he is settled firmly into his congressional seat. Then, too, he is a valuable working member?is always working for appropriations?and that's the kind of man to tie to. ite - 7 Columbia is to have a magnificent new union depot, to be built by the Atlantic Coast Line and the Southern Railway, The city has certainly needed a new depot for a long time, and we rejoice that the railroads have finally taken cognizance of Columbia's rapid growth and the | improvements they must make to keep up with the procession. * * * We have no idea that, any effort will be made for fire protection for * nt 1. j.1 cms town, aunougu nitre is ausulutely nothing?not even a bucket company?here now. Things will go on just as they are, insurance rates will get higher, and in the course of time we'll have a big fire. Well, we reckon we can stand it if the others can. still we had rather pay money in the shape of taxes for waterworks than to the insurance companies for protection. * * # Bamberg county is well served from the standpoint of county officers, and we warrant that no county in the State has a more polite, efficient, accommodating and economical set of officials than we have. The recent annual settlement with the Comptroller General shows how well the offices of Treasurer and Auditor are kept, and the samt painstaking care is true of all tinother officials. The condition oi their offices proves their efficiency? the small tax levy shows their economy. * * * It seems pass.ng strange to ns that some South Carolina newspapers should be so strongly opposed to the English policy in South Africa and our own war in?the Philli pines. Civilization and religion: liberty go hand in hand, and <4th< best missionary," as the sainted Dr Furman is credited with saying, 4<i: the flash of the cannon." Chris tianity and moral advancement eve] follow in the wake of armies, am oftentimes the bayonet prepares tlx way for the Bible. Many of us no doubt, will live to see the grea and lasting benefits that will ucr-i'ix to the people against whom war ii now being so ruthlessly waged. * * * We regret to say so, but our store: should keep better stocks of goods Lots of people buy dry goods anc clothing elsewhere for the simplt reason that they cannot get what they want at home. It may be thai the merchants will say they earn goods to suit their trade, and mosl of their customers may be suited But some people want the best, anc are going to have it, consequently tlx trade is lost to the town. We be< lieve that it would be a paying venture for some merchant to keep i higher grade of goods, for peoph who now buy cheap articles coulc be educated into buying the best, for the best is alwavs the cheapesl in the end. * * * The Parrot boys have decided tx move their paper from Clinton t< Laurens, and the next issue will b< the Laurens News. This move h only the logical outcome of the wai in which they were treated in Clin ton. We remarked a short timeag< that they were getting out a gooi paper, but were not receiving tin advertising patronage from the merchants of Clinton that they merited, Now the town loses a good newspapej and two good citizens, but the busi ness men have only themselves t< blame. A newspaper can't live with out patronage, however much sonn people may believe so. We hopeanc believe the Parrots will do well al Laurens. Marriage at Denmark. Mr. W. A.

James Bolin Killed at Blackville. Blackville, Dec. 22.?B. R. Carroll of this place has just shot and killed James Boliu. It is not possible to get full particulars. Carroll shot Bolin three times, hitting him every shot. Bolin had his pistol drawn, but did not or could not use it. Witnesses say Bolin was following Carroll up. Bad blood existed between them on account of a former fight in which Carroll was badly ' cut. Carroll is at large. He will not attempt to evade arrest. Bolin I is the man whoshotand killed'young .

In the afternoon Bolin was intox icated and fussy on the streets and was arrested by the marshal, disarmI ed and would have been locked up but a friend stood his bond and promised to take care of him. It is rumored that he was following up 5 Carroll in the late afternoon seeking 1 to provoke a difficulty with him.

Fol'owing this hoarseness is a peculiar rough cough. If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even ' after the croupv cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is used * in many thousands of homes in this * broad land and never disappoints ' the anxious mothers. We have yet to learn of a single instance in which . | it has not proved effectual.

"I hardly know how to class the fi incident of obtaining the money.

He wanted money to se- t< cure a meal and his room rent until n he could get a position. Believing w he could find some man who would t< help him if he told his story in a d straightforward manner, he entered li a cigar establishment on Dearborn street. He was about to explain his V condition and ask for assistance 1 until he could get a position, when ti the proprietor looked up with a ^ fierce scowl. He turned to his part- ( ner and they held a conversation p for a few minutes in a whisper. t: "'Now take this four dollars and don't bother Die about that bili again. This is all that you will get w and you can get out of this place in [, a hurry,1 exclaimed the storekeeper. e "The young man was pushed to 1 toward the door with the moiny in a his hand, and try as he would the ^ storekeeper would not let him say a <> word.

Washington, Dec. 18.?The Rev. Sam Small, well kuown as an evangelist, who was a chaplain in the volunteer service, is the subject of numerous charges filed at the war department. The allegations relate to the alleged failure of that clergyman to discharge indebtedness incurred by him. One charge made against Chaplain Small involves alleged carelessness in the handling of company funds to the extent of about $600. Another incident is furnished by Bishop McC'abe, who alleges that he loaned $250 to Chaplain Small* who has been recommended for an army chaplaincy by the bishop. The latter sought to collect the loan from the war department, but without success. A piano firm also lodged a complaint, but >?e Small is mustered out, the government could do nothing.
