' jgpyy ;' : T ??. ?Ij? Uamherg fpralii . i Thursday, July 11, 1907 = Short Locals. Bj." Attention is directed to the ad. of the Orangeburg Collegiate Institute in this issue. B. W. Miley, Esq., was elected attorney for the county dispensary board some time ago at a salary of $100 a year. _ J. M. McKenzie has^ applied ^to .Probate Judge ueo. r. narmon ior letters of administration on the estate of his father, J. C. McKenzie. Mr. J. M. McKenzie who waselect? ed dispenser at Ehrhardt, to succeed his father, the late J. C. McKenzie, ? ' has declined the position. Mr. E. F. McMillan sent us an alf most grown cotton boll, yesterday morning. He has twenty acres of cotton which is full of bolls. Don't forget the cotton association meeting in the court house here to? morrow (Friday.) Messrs. Smith, Weston, and Hyatt will be present ana maKe aaaresses. The dispensary at Ehrhardt has been closed since the death of Dispenser J. C. McKenzie, but the counts ty dispensary board will elect a dispenser as soon as possible. In another column Mr. J. W. 1$, Barnes offers for sale twenty fine E mules, some , of them being large , timber muleS, and two fine horses, all for cash or on easy terms. It is said that the dispensary election for this county will be held about the middle of August. Under the law the county supervisor must give thirty days notice of the k tJICUUVII. Five pounds Huyler's given away gf&' every week at Hoffman's. In another column the county dispensary board advertises for bids and samples for the puifehase of jL liquors for the second quarter. The ||' bidd must be sent in not later than August 10th. W"'}. Bamberg's share of the dispensary profits for the past three months amounts to $657.56, a little over $200 a month. The money was badly p; needed at this time, as the city treasi " ury is sadly depleted. ^ $20.00 parasol given away at Hoff man's Sept. 1st. ^ ' See D. J. Delk's new advertisev ment. He has lately installed a lot of !*.; ' new machinery, and is now prepared ^to do all kinds of pipe work. He also pf' * carries a stock of engine supplies, fittings, etc. Delk is enterprising j^_ and up-to-date. iff The time for paying street tax has been extended until the 15th instant. After that date the penalty will surely be added. Pay A. M. Brabham, cleric and treasurer, before that date. You can find him at the store of C. R. r Brabham & Sons. The most important piece of news to the Edgefield people that The Advertiser has contained in some time is . that Dr. C. E. Burts will remain in Edgefield. The Macon church has allowed him to withdraw his acceptance of the call to that church.? Edgefield Advertiser. Go to Hooton'sand get a cool dress for these warm days.

If you do, you'll always be sorry of it. We know money is scarce, and most of us have little of it. This is all the more reason whyv you should take advantage of this money-saving opportunity. Dispensary Statement. v In another column will be found the quarterly statement of the dispen saries in this county. This statement shows that the profits for the quarter were $3,841.77, of which amount the county gets $1,536.70, the towns the same amount, while the schools gets $768.37. The expense account for the quarter amounts to $3,618.96, which is heavier than it will be later on. Starting off the new system costs more than it will after it gets to running smoothly. The showing made will compare favorably with any of the other counties. Scholarship Examination. Last Friday was thb day for holdfV?o c/?Kinl?srahir? anfi 'pntmTK'P Iil?^ U1XV VM*\* W* w? ??..vw examinations for Winthrop and Clemson, also for the College of Charleston and the South Carolina University, both of these colleges offering scholarships as well. There were seven young ladies who stood the examination for Winthrop, six applying for the vacant scholarship from this county, and one for entrance. There were eight young men for Clemson, three for the scholarship and five for entrance. There were no applications for the College of Charleston or South Carolina University scholarships. The papers of the various contestants have been sent on, and the winners will be announced in few weeks. Rowdy Soldiers. Last Friday morning a special train passed through Bamberg conveying a lot of soldiers from Alabama to Charleston, where they are to have an encampment on Sullivan's Island. As the train passed the depot here the soldiers amused themselves throwing rocks, railroad spikes, and other missiles at people who happened to be standing near the track. Cary Brabham, the negro porter at Johnson's Hotel, was struck in the face, ripar thp pvp. bv a railroad spike, and a very painful wound was inflicted. Cary says he thought he was shot at first. The train did not stop here. Colored Folks Celebrate. The colored people of Bamberg observed the 4th of July in a becoming manner. A joint celebration of the Methodist and Baptist Sunday schools was held at the Baptist church. The program consisted of music, patriotic songs, a debate, the subject discussed being who was the greatest man, Washington or Lincoln, recitations, etc. A picnic was held on the grounds, and in the afternoon. there was a game of base bail, and they didn't fight or row over the game either. The day passed off quietly, and the affair was a most creditable and successful one. We are glad to note this disposition on the part of our colored people. It was a most appropriate way of celebrating the day. Sunday Selling Illegal. Attorney General Lyon has written the dispenser at Walterboro as to selling whiskey on Sunday on prescription of physicians. He advises that the law prohibits the sale of t whiskey on Sundays and legal holi- i days, and there is no exception in i any case. The Bamberg county board 1 passed a resolution that whiskey t would be furnished on physicians' ( prescriptions on Sunday, provided s the physician stated that he was in ( actual attendance on the patient and 1 that the whiskey was absolutely ne- 1 cessary. Uner the attorney general's > construction this is illegal and will 1 have to be discontinued. The law ] makes absolutely no provision for i getting whiskey on Sunday, no mat- < ter what the need may be. 1 HhHK9MMBHK rFREE TRIP TO EXPOSITION.

It appears from the construction of ;he new high school law that Dennark cannot establish a high school mless another election is held. The aw provides that an incorporated x)wn of less than 1,000 inhabitants ;annot establish a high school if the >chool district extends beyond the jorporate limits of the town, unless ;wo districts combine. So it seems ;hat Denmark and some other district ?:ii T /inmKma in nnrlor f n r>H rVlIi IldVC l/V> wuiuuiv tu ;ain the appropriation. It seems a oity that the law was not made plain n the first instance, as now several listricts in this county will have to lold new elections.
