Larrv Gantt is now paying his respects to Stanyarne Wilson through the columns of the Spartanburg Free Lance. He v,"' t says Wilson speaks with the Democrats in congress and then votes with the Republicans. Larry wants to defeat Wilson for re-election, and the prospects are that Stanvarne will have a hard time getting back to congress. They used to be as ? thick as peas in a pod. We wish it distinctly understood that The Bamberg Herald is not any combination or clique for the election or defeat of any candidate for a county office. We have something else to do, and it's no money in our pocket to elect fellows jpi to office. The rumor has been going around, and we wish to serve notice on all concerned that this paper is not carryx" ing any candidate, and will not do so. The United States authorities have put E themselves in a pretty l>ad predicament ?: by their action in the custom house whiskey-matter in Charleston. The proof seems conclusive that the" collector and J his assistants knew that the custom house was being used as a storage warehouse for "blind tiger" liquor, and no doubt \' ... they were well paid by the illicit dealers. || If somebody's official head doesn't drop in the basket we shall be very much surprised. Judge Benet, in his charge to the Ricliland county irrand jury last week, spoke at length of the crimes of murder anil p. * carrying concealed weapons. He showed ||' that last year there were in this State 243 k murders and only ninety-nine convictions. It is to be hoped that other judges - will take up the matter as earnestly as Judge Benet, and that it will result in ^ making human life more valuable in m South Carolina and create a higher respect for our laws Admiral Dewey has announced himself as a candidate for president of the United States, and the newspapers all over the country are poking fun at him, about all of them receiving the announcement of his candidacy as a huge joke. He says > he is a Democrat, but no matter what his political affiliations are, this is not his year to run. Some months4 ago we belive the whole country would have stampeded to his support, but now the idea of of his running is utter folly. Ehrhardt Etchings. Ehrhardt, April 9.?Mrs. Weeks, of Govan, has been visiting her aunt, Mrs. Jones, of Walterboro. Mr. J. C Copeland, of Ehrhardt, went to Bamberg last Tuesday on business. Mr. J. A. Chassereau, of Ehrhardt, went to Bamberg Monday and returned k;: Wednesday. Mr. H. A. Hughes went to Bamberg last Saturday. Mr. Lewis Carter, a student of Macon / business college, finished his course and returned home last Saturday. Miss Minnie Copeland, of this place, J? has been visiting Miss Arrie Hiers. Miss Olive Speights, of Hendersonville, spent last Friday night at Prof. T. D. Jones's on her wray home. Mr. Probst Sease and his mother, Mrs. W. E. Sease! went out to Bambersr last Ill Saturday after Capt. Sease, who for the past week has been sick with la grippe, j:.but we are glad to say is some better now. Mr. Henry Ehrhardt and his family have been sick, Grippe is the trouble. It is bad enough for one at a time to be ^ sick, and of course it is worse when all are sick at the same time. We sympa' thize with Mr. Ehrhardt's family very much, and hope that they will all be up soon. During the past week Mr. Lewis Kinard has been working in the Pearlstine || store, and Mr. W. D. Sease has been keeping the dispensary. ^ Our new desks were put down last p Saturday. There are forty in all, and W;i- cost us $75.00 H.Nettie Dannelly, of the 7th grade, has been appointed to write the news review y -" for April. Mr. Knight furnishes us with v valuable reading matter, from which to compile these reviews, and for which we desire to thank him. Mr. T. D. Jones went out to Bamberg last Saturday to attend the teachers' meeting. L _ Messrs. Pearlstine and Caldwell went to Branchville last Sunday. There was a pleasant social gathering of young people at the home of Mr. I. W. Carter last Saturday evening. TJic past week has reminded us of spring, and the farmers are taking ad van|>V tage of it, too; some have almost tinished mr planting cotton. Mr. T. D. Jones lias purchased a bushel of the Sims cotton seed, and will experiment with it in the school house field. ' You remember that this is the cotton that Mrs. Sims sold for 14 cents, so the cotton makers around here will evidently watch Mr. Jones's field with interest. We were glad to see Mr. J. C. Breeland in town last Saturday. Mrs. T. D. Jones and little son, Earle, spent last Sunday at the home of Capt. W. E. Sease. * Miss Maude Sease is spendingthis week with her sister, Mrs. H. C.

Every Democrat is earnestly lequested to be present. H. C. FOLK, President. fw--, * .-:?- t . ' A... : ;. . Bnford's Bridge Breezes. Oi.ak, April 0.?Buford's Bridge was once the garden spot of old Barnwell t county, when her lines extended from 1 Sandbar Ferry to the Colleton county line, twenty miles below here. She is i still the garden spot of the newer Bam- < berg. South Carolina's "baby county." : The history of Buford's Bridge is of the past. The history of the country which surrounds the one-time nourishing settlement is yet to be made. Many of her brave sons donned the gray when their country called them to arms, and it can be truly said of, these that whatever shall be?whatever has been?the South's glory, shall Ik* a part of their imperishable fame. They fought boldly ami nobly for the lost cause, and in all that great army of heroic sons who waged war for liberty for four long years, none displayed more heroism than the boys from Buford's Bridge. Who remains of these gallant souls to tell the story of the Bridge as she was in her prime ? Only a very small numlwr. Buford's Bridge's tirst settler was a man from whom the place took its name, but the tirst settler to start an enterprise there was Louis Mnlone Aver, who at the time of his death owned about ten thousand acres of mother earth. To-day his descendants have ownership in less than a thousand. Mr. Aver started a "rumshop," as the bar-rooms of that day were known. Following him were Matthew Move, who emigrated from North Carolina. He was on his way to Georgia, but, being charmed with the virgin fertility of the soil, decided to stop there. He followed the same business as Mr. Aver. As years rolled on this nucleus gathered other interests and industries about it. and increased in population and importance. It was the trading point of the country for miles around, and there were merchants, blacksmiths, barbers, boatmakers, tailors and barroom keepers. J. J. ?fc H. Brabham, and Priester A Dickinson were the leading merchants. There our forefathers spent many successful and happy hours. They made plenty of sil ver and gold, but have long since "crossed over the river" and I hope are "resting under the shade of the trees." All that remains of the ancient town are the crushed in roofs and falling walls of the : old houses?above them the nodding tree Kr-inr'hix; thirb with festoons of funereal ^ moss. It is in fact a city of the dead, and ? the "rude forefathers" of the hamlet lie resting there under the shadow of the ? moss-draped trees, alike unconscious of 1 the town's desolation, and of the newer 1 and more progressive settlements that 1 have sprung up at the nearby railroads. A few of the neighborhood residents? old men and women?still love to gather . about their firesides on winter nights and talk garrulously of the past. Got! forbid | that the old name shall ever pass away. Philadelphia school has been closed . after a run of only five months, and Miss Florrie Brabham, the teacher, 1ms gone to her home in Bamberg. She discharged her duties very faithfully and satisfactorily. The free school system is a very j>oor one. If the children had to depend . on it for an education they would go lacking. Mrs. Thos. L. "Wiggins and children have returned to their home in Bamberg, r after a visit of two weeks in our midst. Misses Lizzie Best and Ethel Brabham visited Olar last week. The Mormon elders, two by two, are travelling over our neighborhood distributing their tracts of an interview in the Atlanta Constitution, on the Mormon faith, with Ben E. Rich, of the Church of . Jesus Christ of latter day saints. It is true that the Mormons receive a lot of encouragement in the Western and Northern States, but they get cold comfort in the South and East. In addition to their pamphlet they have two pages of what leading men of the West and North say about them. Some of our people in this immediate neighborhood are so ignorant as to let them read their pamphlet and occasionally let them preach. It is to be hoped that they will never get an}* encouragement or foothold in our country*. Sam Walker, the noted negro thief, made a raid on the store of Mr. C. F. Rizer last Saturday. Sam bought some bacon and had it charged to another negro. When he found out they were ? ' - * 1* La 4/\ Lie ttlHHll tU Utttlil U}? ? ltii mill, nt, ivwrv. vw I lis* heels and escaped. His friends made it up with Mr. Rizer for ten dollars. Mr. Ben Best, formerly of this neighborhood, but for the past five or six years of Benedict, Fla., has returned to his old home, to the delight of his many friends. Mr. Josie Brabham, of this vicinity, lias gone to Bamberg to attend the graded school. Rev. John G. Beckwith preached to a large congregation at Mizpah church last Sundav. Mr. If. L. Kearse, of Savannah, Ga., has returned home, possibly to stay. The farmers have had nice weather for their work recently and they are making . use of it. Some are planting cotton. Misses Essie Creech and Hair, of the Slavtown section, visited the family 1 of Mr. John M. Brabham this week. , B. G. J. 1 Remarkable Cure of Rheumatism.

Dr.NMAKK, April !>.?Last Tuesday afI'raoon a number of citizens met at Guess' t hall in response to a call made by Dr. S. < D. M. Guess, chairman board of trustees 1 >f cemetery property. Dr. Guess was re- 1 elected chairman, and Mr._J. S. J. Faust, ( secretary. A number of trustees were < also elected to take the place of deceased ? members, members whose pleasure it was ] not many years ago to care for the graves < of their friends, and now they themselves < arc sleeping beneath the cold sod. their : graves the care of others. Flans were : perfected by which these sacred acres 1 may be protected and beautified. If tomorrow were resurrection day. the eiti- i /.ens of Denmark would likely feel abash <. <1 upon seeing those loveu ones coming out of their opened graves, groping about to get a good standing place from which ; to rise and meet Mod's great concourse in mid-air. Would an apology he in order? This is futurity, speculation, but what conclusions do you suppose are formed by the many strange pedestrians and : even kind friends who pass by this hallowed field every day in the week ? Dr. , Guess was requested to take charge c f < the cleaning of the cemetery. This gentleman never does his work with a blow and a wish. It is safe to say that the present wilderness of weeds and grass will soon give way to sweet flowers and green shrubbery. Friends, let us take care of the graves of our loved ones. Some day you will occupy your chosen square. Be thoughtful of those whose white shafts which still remind you of past sacred relationship, and possibly when you are gone the rising generation will not forget your beneficent kindness. Aged men, leave a good model plan for your sons to follow. Teach the sparkling youth to revererence the grave of mother, father, sister or brother. Mr. William Rice was thrown from the rear end of a shaft wagon a few days ago and received serious injury. It is the wish of all that he may soon recover. The Knights of Pythias of Denmark lodge have been enjoying the secret work of their order very much during the past few months, and will probably have some interesting work to do in the near future. as the names of several applicants are on tile for admission. The lodge recently purchased paraphanalia for two side degrees, one of which arrived in time to be used at last meeting. The other is expected soon, and is said to be an excellent degree. Capt. J. B. Guess and Mr. F. E. Holman have been elected delegates to the grand lodge, which convenes in Charleston in the month of May. Messrs. E. T. LaFitte and C. E. Tyler were chosen alternates. Mr. I. Rich, one of Denmark's hustling merchants, has gone to New York for medical treatment. Mr. Rich has been unwell for sometime. His numerous friends sympathize with him in his illness, and wish him a speedy recovery. Mr. W. S. Peterson and wife, of Lees, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Milhous last Saturday. Mr. Peterson presides over the Lees graded school, and has done excellent work for that community for a number of years. Dr. Joseph Matthews, a recent graduate of the South Carolina Medical College, has decided to cast his lot among the people of his native heath in the practice of his profession. Denmark welcomes the young, bright Doctor, and, of course, wishes him nothing but success. Miss Kennedy, of Govan, is visiting relatives near Denmark. Dkr Uxterzeichkeh. The Best in the World. Wre believe Chamberlain's cough remedy is the best in the world. A few weeks ago we suffered with a severe cold and a troublesome cough, and having read their advertisements in our own and other papers we purchased a bottle to see if it would ellect us. it cured us before the bottle was more than half used. It is the ; best medicine out for colds and coughs.? , The Herald, Andersonville, Ind. For sale by all druggists and medicine dealers. Program for Teachers' Meeting. I.

Commuia, April 7.?For some days here lias been mention in the newspapers ?!' the absence of .Indite of Probate Henry i I. Brunson, of Oran^eburit. A tcleirram < roin Governor MeSweency to Clerk of ; Jourt Sal ley, directing him to take charge i if the otliee in the absenee of Mr. Bran- 1 M>n. has been published. Mr. Branson i lias been quite ill sinee In* left < franjroburi; 1 >n the 25th of Mareli, and that la rifely ae:*ounts for his unexplained and talked of ibsenee. Mr. Brunson has been heard From, and will no doubt return to Oran<rebursr and assume the duties of his otlice, which have been temporarily assumed by the Clerk of Court. Mr. Thomas M. Kay so r, of the Oranjre burg bar, ami Mr. Thomas F. Brantley, of Orangeburg, came to Columbia to-day to i;o over tlie matter with Governor MeSweeney ami explain t<? him t he situation, which may have been misunderstood from the rumors that have been afloat. They assured Governor MeSweeney that the people had never lost eonlidenee in Mr. iirunson, and that they deeply regret his absence and illness. They showed him that (here had never been any shortage or defalcation shown or aliened, and that at most there is a confusion of the books and accounts, which will all be made stood and straightened out to the satisfaction of every one. It was Mr. Branson's careless business methods and kindness of heart that made him sick of his work. Mr. Kaysor, in the course of his conversation with Governor MeSweeney, said that there must be half a box of lax receipts showing money, which Mr. Branson advanced, which has never been returned to him, and there are other such evidences. Mr. Kaysor is satisfied.that if there is confusion in the oftice that there Ls no criminality about Mr. Branson's absence, and that with the confidence the people have in him he will conduct the oflice to the satisfaction of every one. Governor MeSweeney said that he would not for the world ruin a young man's hopes and ambitions, and those of his family, on a mere rumor and on his unexplained absence. He consented to withdraw his telegram to @lcrk of Court Salley, and as sooii as Mr. Branson returns to Orangeburg he will be given charge of his oftice and everything will run along smoothly. When last heard from Mr. Branson was quite sick, and the hope is that he will soon be able to be up and ready to return to Orangeburg. Governor MeSweeney has been assured that Mr. Branson's bondsmen wish him to resume his oftice, and, of course, legally there is 110 possible reason why he should not take charge of his oftice Besides it is the desire of Governor MeSweeney and the many friends of Mr. Branson that he be given the opportunity to show them that their confidence in him is not misplaced and that he merits their good will. ?News and Courier. The Orangeburg Times and Democrat states that Mr. Bruuson has returned home, and has again entered upon the duties of his office. Happenings in the Country. Great was the surprise when it was rumored on last Saturday afternoon that Mr. .Teffie Hughes, of Clear Pond, and Miss Ettie Beard, of Colston, were to assume the marriage vows on Sunday. It was kept a secret except to intimate friends, They were married by Rev. J. H. Wilson, at the parsonage on Sunday morning. Mrs. Alice Zeigler and her neice, Miss Mabel Hill, have just returned from a pleasant visit to Stokes. Miss Edna Stokes accompanied them back, and is now stopping at Clear Pond. Messrs. Allan Gillam and O. P. Jordan are at the court house this week. A pleasant evening was passed at Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Smoak's last Saturday. It was a musicaleand, under the sweet influence of Miss Belle Sandifer, I think each enjoyed it. Miss Georgie E. Jordan, is visiting relatives and friends in the city this week. The folks of our community are anticipating a pleasant time at the annual picnic at Clear Pond on Good Friday. Everybody is cordially invited to attend with well filled baskets," and we will expect all the candidates to render some speeches on that day. The sad intelligence was keenly felt in this community, when it was announced that Dr. T. C. Lewis was dead. He was a noble man. G. Third Week Jurors.

Broken-down Women weary from pain and the torture of . over-taxed nerves it is but natural that you should be low-spirited and dejected. Woru-out by the care, the worry and the long suffering from weaknesses that have ballled the best efforts of your family doctor, it is no wonder you have become discouraged, and think there is nothing left for you but suffering and misery. Do not give up all hope, do not lose all courage. Remember Dr. Miles' Nervine has helped thousands of despondent women to regain their lost health and failing strength. It quiets the irritated nerves the urearv hrnin and n drives worry and care away. It gives zest to the tailing appetite, invigorates the digestion and adds new strength and vigor to the whole system. Don't forget the name. DR. MILES' Nervine. "Change of life left me a total wreck and I suffered nervousness, rheumatism, heart trouble and dropsy. When I commenced taking Dr. Miles' Nervine last December I was thought to be in the last stages of nervous prostration and was scarcely able to move about the house. I began to improve almost from the first dose, and in a few months I was enjoying better health than I had before in fifteen years. I am now able to walk ten or a dozen blocks without feeling in the least fatigued, and I bless the day 1 first heard of Dr. Miles' Nervine." Mrs. Dr. Norris, Rock Rapids, la.
