County Supervisor Bruce gives notice in this issue that he will let out the contract for repairs on Fitts' bridge next Saturday. Old reliable weather prophets in the county predict a hard winter. They say the shuck on corn is very heavy and the moss on the north side of trees very thick. Mr. Govan Kennedy, who has been assistant agent and telegraph operator at the depot here, has been promoted to the agency at Bath. Mr. Shuler takes his place at this point.

He was formerly solicitor of the eigh'ii judicial district. By the time the campaign opens next summer, there will no doubt be a cow pen full of candidates for i-V the position. Rev. Kenneth McCaskill, pastor of the Presbyterian church, filled his regular appointment here last Sunday. Mr. McCaskill has been sick for some time at the home of his father in Sumter county, and ^ his ^congregation is delighted at his restoration "to health. Mrs. H. F. Rice wes confined to lier bed for several days this week on account of a painful wound in the foot, caused by dropping a heavy pair of shears. She had the shears in her lap and on getting up they fell to the floor, the point cutting her foot right badly, r At a congregational meeting of the I Baptist church," held last Sunday, it was decided to tender the pastorate of the church here to Rev. M. L. Lawson, of Ocilla, Ga. It is probable that he will accept the call and enter ui>on the pastorate of the church at an early date. Our subscribers should remember that while the amount each one is owing is small, in the aggregate they foot up several hundred dollars. If we could collect all this it would help us very much, so we hope each one will do his part. We owe money and want to pay our i debts. It begins to look like Bamberg county will not be represented at the Charleston Exposition. If our people will not take some interest in the matter, it is certain that the commissioners cannot get up an s exhibit alone, They have given the opportunity, and if our people do not rcv spond, it is not the fault of the commisv stoners. Headmaster W. E. Willis of the Carlisle Fitting School has resigned in order - to take a further course in his specialty, mathematics. His successor is Mr. H. G.

The manager is a level-headed, industrio ;s woman, and with the increased fi jnlities she will make the school more of a success than ever. Buy the Rock Hill buggy and you'll be pleased. G. Frank Bamberg, agent. Lots of our subscribers have paid up recently, but most of those who have paid were not far behind and did not owe much. Some are considerably in arrears and have not paid anything. Some of these have had their paper stopped, and others will be treated the same way. We want to be reasonable with every one, but we cannot afford to send the paper for three or four years without pay, and we are not going to do it. To publish a paper at the low price of one dollar successfully, all subscriptions should be paid in advance. Fire Near Eliriiardt. The residence of Mr. A. C. Carter was destroyed by fire last Sunday night. None of the furniture except an organ was saved, the house, kitchen, and entire contents being completely destroyed. The house hadbeen painted only a few days ago. We understand the loss is covered by insurance, or partly so. Mr. Carter was in Charleston at the time, and his son was the only occupant of the dwelling that night, and he had a narrow escape from the flames. Bamberg is getting to be quite a market for vehicles. G. Frank Bamberg sold a carriage to a gentleman near Aiken, this gentleman having been to Augusta, Barnwell and Blackville. P/ices and quality will tell, and G. Frank Bamberg seems to have them both. Letter to Mrs. T. Black, Bamberg, S. C. Dear Madam:?This is an appeal to common sense. We know we do not appeal to you in vain. Look beyond the first cost when buying a paint. Once the needful oil is added to L. & M. paint you - i ?1 nAot lint vrmr not only nave u iuw <u;tuai uuV house will stay well painted longer than you wish. You will get so tired of seeing the same colors year after year that you will buy some other shade of L. & M. just for variety's sake. Our statements are not irresponsible, they are backed by an insurance guarantee and an annual output of four million pounds?28 years of practical paint making. Kindly permit the Bamberg Pharmacy to talk to you further. Yours sincerely, Longman & Martinez. Rock Hill buggies have more style, run lighter and give better satisfaction than any on the market. G.

The cotton market is ranging from 8 to cents, and the receipts of this week have been seven hundred bales and upwards. Cone to Orangeburg. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Dixon have gone to Orangeburg, where Mr. Dixon has temporarily -accepted the position of chief engineer and master mechanic for the Orangeburg Mfg. Co. Mr. Dixon offers his iron works here for rent, as he ex-! pects to return before very long. In case he does not succeed in renting his shop, he will not keep the position in Orangeburg, but will come back in a short time. The poultry industry of the United States foots up more than $335,000,(XX) annually, according to P. J. Moran, in the Atlanta Constitution?"that is, the chicken yard more man onsets me combined earnings of the river and railway service of this country." A London paper notes the fact that the death of President McKinley occurred on the anniversary of that of Wellington ajul of General Montcalm. Selfishness would be an excellent thing if it really knew what is good for it. To-day hasn't been so bad, has it? Well to-day was once a part of the future that you worried about. South Carolina politicians require about IS months to make a senatorial campaign. In the city of New York the campaign for the city election will require four weeks. That is business. When the Circus Conies. The Kev. Dr. Ledbetter, who is supplying the pulpit of St. Paul's Methodist church, Denver, made the following announcement last Sunday: "J am of the opinion that it will be "useless to undertake to hold prayer meeting in this church next Wednesday night. 1 do not want you to think I am a backslider, but I realize that I am getting too old to attempt to buck up against a circus the size of the carnival. I have a faint memory of trying to do that thing one time, and I real ized that I was the only member of the flock that failed to get to see the show. If you will all devote as mucht ime to prayer at your homes this week as you should, you will not really need the weekI ly prayer meeting. During the week I . hope you will keep yourselves straight, and not get in the cooler or cause the po[ lice ambulance a run in your behalf, i What I want you to do is to enjoy the . beauties of the carnival in such a way as ; will educate you in the resources and ad; vancements of our State and show you . the possibilities of our people. Thus you ' will get something out of the week that will do your soul good.'' Hartzog Happenings. Hartzog, October 14.?Our farmers are almost through harvesting.

McKissick, of Ehrhardt, preached a fine sermon at Kearse school house last Saturday afternoon, the 12th.

Millex, Ga., October 12.?We had a chance last Tuesday evening to "laugh and grow fat." At the lyccum, which by the way has been opened for the season, J. William Macy, the great New York humorist, appeared in his versatile role of humor, song and story. Last winter, through the indefatigible labors of the male teachers in our school and a few citizens, the lyceum course was obtained and we are now enjoying the prospect of rare treats through another winter. This is a source of information, recreation and fun that no town, with the proper status of public spiritedness, should be without. I hold everyone is a true philosopher who asserts and advocates practical truths, thus the admonition to "laugh and grow fat" must certainly have emanated from a philosopher, and while all goodnatured people are not fat, they are for the most part healthy, and we readily ( perceive a very intimate relation existing between health?physically and mentally - ft l-\! , speaking?ami cneeriuiness. i;ui you ever know a sour, gravc-yard-looking personage who never indulged in tht little harmless jests that help to smooth so many of the cares of life? "Who nevei felt the cachiufttory iufluence exerted around him or had the ,leob webs shaken from his brain" by merriment? Assimilation of the food is aided by laughter, and eating, which is a distressngly coarse process when not spirtualized or redeemed in some way, can be greatly improved by good humor. But while 1 have entered a plea for laughter, do not understand me to advocate the laughing of fools, which Solomon says is "like tht crackling of thorns under a pot." Bui the good, hearty, merry laugh of those who know there is a time and a place foi hilarity. Prof. Lane, the humorist and lecturer, says in his "analysis of laughter' that various things can provoke merri mcnt, even of a solemn nature, as foi instance: A man lost his mother-iu-lav* and wanted to raise a monument over liei grave; he decided to chisel the inscriptior himself; he started to put "Let her resi in peace," but after getting the words lei her he found he hadn't room for the re mainder of the line without abbreviating so he put: "Let her R. I. P." In con elusion let us infer as Csesar did in re gard to Cassius, "Men who never laugh have a lean and hungry look and ar< dangerous."

Death of Mr. Daniel Padgett. Wai.terboko, Oct. 9.?News has just reached here of the death of Mr. Daniel Padgett, at his home at Williams, in this county, early yesterday morning. Mr. Padget was a member of a very large and influential family in this county, and his death is very much deplored, lie was known as the peacemaker in his community, and it is said that the poor had in him a true friend. His smoke house and corn crib were always open to them. He was 09 years of age, and leaves five children and a large concourse of friends to mourn his death. His remains will be interred at the Padgett burying ground near Smoaks to-day at 11 o'clock. Buy the Rock Hill buggy and be in the swim. G. Frank Bamberg, agent. Over Ten Years Spent in Sleep. Stockbridoe, Micu., Oct. 10.?One of the most remarkable cases on record is that of May White, who, for more than ten years, has battled against sleep and has won. While attending a business college at Ypsilanti in 1890 Miss White, at that time 22 years old, sustained injuries to her spine by a fall upon the icy pavement, which caused an abscess in her side. She was removed to her home ten miles from this village and placed under the care of Dr. Herman E. Brown. Her case soon developed into hysteric epilepsy, and she has had from one to fifty convulsions in a day. Then began her long sleep, and for twenty days she slept, while the doctor worked for hours trying to awaken her, and only for a few moments would she rcnyiin awake when she would relapse into a deep slumber. For years no one was able to awaken licr but the doctor, although many tried to do so. She is no.w so far recovered as to be easily awakened by any one. Dr. Brown found the ride of ten miles through all kinds of weather too much for him, and so he had her removed to his residence in town, where for the past ten years she has been. All this time her faithful sister, Carrie has been her constant attendant. During her long illness she lost the use of her limbs, but tho doctor thinks she will regain it in time. For the past fewyears she has occupied a wheel chair. At one time during her sickness she was reduced to (id pounds, but now lips the beam at 120 pounds. Death of Mr. E. F. Slater. The entire community was shocked I Sunday afternoon at the unexpected announcemort of the death of Mr. E. F. Slater. Mr. Slater was well as usual in 1 the morning and ate dinner with his family Sunday. After dinner he went out to his office at his livery stables in the rear of his house and it was while in his office that he was stricken with apoplexy. Ik was alone when stricken and remained so until some member of the , family, att racted bj* a strange noise, went out to the office and found him in the ; throes of death. Several physicians were : hastily summoned and they used most heroic means to revive the dying man, . but to no avail. 31 r. Slater was about 51 years of age ; and was well known throughout the county. He was a member of the Baptist 1 church and was a genial, good-hcarted man who had many friends in his wide acquaintance. He leaves a wife, two daughters and four sons, one of whom, Dr. Ernest Slater, is holding an important 1 position in the American army in the [ Philippines. The fuueral services were conducted by Rev. E. M. Lightfoot in the Baptist ; chjurch and the remains were interred in Sunnyside cemetery. ' The bereaved family have the warmest ; sympathy of the entire people in the sad 1 and sudden affliction which has befallen [ them.?Orangeburg Patriot. McLanrin for Cabinet. Washington, Oct. 14.?There has been a good deal of talk in a quiet way about the President offering Senator McLaurin L a cabinet portfolio. Not until today, ' however, has there been any public in- j t dication of this important step. ' In The Star this afternoon there ap-1 >r pears a half column in which it is stated 1 ; that many callers and a large number of t letters have been received by the Presi-: ' dent suggesting Senator McLaurin for r his cabinet. There is no doubt but that 1 the Southern situation has been the most ' prominent one before the President since he became president. It is equally true ; r that Senator McLaurin is by far the forcr most man from the South in politics at r the capital. Coupled with this, the fact 1 that the President has given many callers, t both from South and North, expressions t of his high regard for Senator McLaurin, gives color to the now public expression > of what, as the newspaper men at the White House say, has been long in the * air. ? Senator McLaurin does not know any1 th}ng of the matter other than the pub' lished statements that Uavo appeared in - the papers this aftornoou. He declines 2 to say anything of the matter. It is 1 known, however, that the President has 1 asked him to make a special call at the * White House on Thursday on important j business.
