Copeland, Jr., brought us a well developed cotton boll. It was grown by Mr. J. | . M. Carter, of the Hunter's Chapel * , - section. I 10 The mad dog scare continues fek'-v throughout the State, and it is not ' a scare either, for many people aTe being bitten by dogs supposed to . l>e mad. Mr. W. M. Brabham has bought a Ford runabout from Col. Jno. F. Folk, and J. Aldrich Wyman, Esq., has bought a handsome^ Rambler touring car. The salary of the postmaster at ' Denmark has been raised from $1,300 to $1,400 a year. Branchville's postmaster has also been increased from $1,100 to $1,300. See tfre new ad. of H. W. Johnson, the harness maker and shoe repairer. He has moved, and can now be found in the building formerly occupied by The Bamberg Herald. v Miss Mamie Conner* one of the graded school teachers, * is sick at her home near Branchville. Her ;hrother, Capt. P. Stokes Connor, is teaching her grades in the school. The McCaskey system of keeping accounts is equitable. It protects the customer as well as the merchant. It's right. D. A. KINARD & CO. Messrs. C R. and A. M. Brabham, jJ. D. Copeland, Jr., and C. B. Free are shipping truck this week. Several of our farmers have gone into track this year and we hope they will make money.

E?";V- The Bamberg graded school will gfSg/ * close to-morrow (Friday.) There . will be no closing exercises this .year, as there is no.suitable hall obpt' ' tainable, and the new building is not ready for use. The date of the encampment of f the third regiment on Sullivan's Is~ land has been changed from June 18th to June 17th. The Bamberg Guards will leave here on the morning of the* 17th. Rev. Prof. J. H. Fisher, of Mt. Pleasant, N. C., will preach at Mt. Pleasant Lutheran church near Ehr|barflt next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock and at Ehrhardt at five o'clock in the afternoon. It makes you mad if you think ?" ;. you owe your. merchant $7.00 and find it is $12.00. Under our McCas. key system, when you think it is $7, b ; $7.05 is just a nickel too much. j D. A. KINARD & CO. ^ The Brabham swimming pool is r . V now open to the public. It is in fine condition. Twenty gallons pure arb.v: tesian water going in .and out every i&". minute. 15 cents per bath, or two for 25 cents, eight tickets for one dollar.

J. Ritter's place, 4n the Kearse section. Right is right. If you owe your mordhont tS ftft and that, is rieht. all right, but if you pay him $9.00, it is more than right. Just $1.00 more. Our McCaskey accounts shown at your house are always right. D. A. KINARD & CO. Mr. E. H. Hall, who has been superintendent of the graded school at Denmark for several years, passed through yesterday morning on his way to Clinton, where he has accepted a similar position. He returned yesterday evening.?Chester Lantern. J. M. McKenzie. of Ehrhardt, has been appointed freight agent at Walterboro, vice A. S. Morrall, resigned.

From the notice in another column, it will be seen that Mr. E. H. Hall has resigned as principal of the Denmark graded school, and will go to Clinton He has done good work at Denmark, and we regret to see him leave the county. We do not know who has been elected to succeed him. Remember the prohibition meeting here next Wednesday. Mr. L. A. Brabham is announced by his friends tlrs week as a candidate for magistrate at Ehrhardt. A fire in the business section of Rock Hill last Friday morning resulted in a loss of about $20,000. All the candidates for State offices must file their pledges before the 16th of Ju-ne. this being the day before the first campaign meeting. See A. Kice s new aa. in mis issue.

New machines have been coming in right' along recently, and several others will be purchased in the near future. There will be no July term of court, or rather there will be no criminal cases tried. We presume nracHinor ill n {* o U'ill flttPfld for yi VUiUiUQ J V*V?Q V " WW-?v. --a few days in order to transact equity business. The many friends of Mrs. Hayne F. Rice will be pleased to know that she has returned to the city after spending several weeks in Charleston. She is much improved in health. ?Aiken Johrnal and Review. We return thanks to Mr. C. J. S. Brooker for a basket of very fine plums. Mr. Brooker has a fine orchard on his faim just out of the corporate limits, 'and he is shipping quantities of plums this season. See Hooton's big new ad. He is quoting special prices from the 15th to th^ 20th, and it will pay the ladies "o visit his store during this great sale. He has the goods desired, and the prices quoted are very special.

The scholarships are worth $100 and free tuition. The Baipberg Herald has installed a linotype machine and has added other improvements.

Bamberg's team defeated the crack Hampton team Tuesday afternoon in a pretty game of ball, the score being 9 to 2. The features of the game were the daring base running and hitting of the home boys, a catch in center by Tyler, also the pitching of Rentz, the heavy hitters of Hampton securing only three hits off of his delivprv Thp score: * R. H. E. Hampton 2 3 4 Bamberg 9 11 4 Batteries?Hampton, Butler and McDaniels; Bamberg, Rentz and C. Brabham. The same teams play here this (Wednesday) and Thursday afternoons. Carlisle Fitting School. \ A meeting ot the board of control df the Carlisle Fiting School was held here last Monday, only the local members being . present however. The most important action taken was the turning over of the school, financial)' and otherwise, to Head Master W. S. Hogan, who will manage the institution as he sees fit, he being solely responsible for its management. ?- ** " ?*?i.i ? r Trie mailer 01 selection ui icauuci of music and elocution was left in the hands of the Head Master, as was also the selection* of the matrons of the two boarding halls. Mr. H. C. Folk, who has been secretary and treasurer of the board for the past three years, resigned. A. W. Knight was elected a member of the board. The board is now composed of the following: Rev. C. B. Smith, B. H. Moss,Orangeburg; MileyVarn, Weimer; J. H. Smith, Sr.. Smoaks; W. A. Dantzler, Vances; H. J. Brabham, J. A. Byrd, W. D. Rhoad, A. W. Knight, Bamberg. It is hoped to make the coming year the most successful in the history of the school. Let all Bamberg people work to this end, for the school is of great benefit to the town in many ways. We'd miss it very badly, if it were not here, so let's help to make the institution what it should be. This will take a little time and money, but both will be well spent. Another Call for Mr. Riley. Editor The Bamberg Herald:?We note in your last issue that Mr. W. L. Riley, of Denmark, has been called upon to make the race for the legislature, and we heartily secoRd the nomination. Come out. Mr. Riley, and we feel sure you will be elected. We need solid business men in the legislature, men who know the needs of the farmers and are in sympathy wih them. MANY VOTERS. Married in Georgia. Mr. J. Paul Ridgway, of Royston, Ga., and Miss Mamie Harrison, of this city, were married in Royston last Thursday. They arrived in the city Friday, and are visiting the parents of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. S. Harrison. Miss Harrison has been in Rovston this season as milliner, and Mr. Ridgway is a rising young business man of that town. Miss Harrison having gone out from Atlanta several seasons as milliner has made many friends. We extend hearty congratulations to the happy young couple The Billings Case. A hearing was held here last Wednesday in the matter of the Billings suit for $30,000 damages against the Charlotte Observer. Mr. Billings was present at the hearing, accompanied by his lawyers, Messrs. Glideweli and Lane, of Reidsville, N. C. The testimony taken was on the part^of the defendant, who was represented by Mr. Lucas, an attorney of Charlotte. This testimony will be made public at the trial. A hearing was had at Blackville on Thursday, where much testimony was taken. The case is to be tried on the 16th instant. Mr. Billings, who was pastor of the Baptist church at Blackville until deposed some months ago, is suing the Charlotte Observer for damages on account of its publication concerning his unfrocking * xi? -l uy me cuuruu. me u<tse win uu doubt be bitterly contested.

I. Loadholt. Death of Mr. Hugh Hutto. Mr. Hugh Hutto died at his home near Spring Branch church last Thursday morning, after an illness of about two weeks. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Hutto, and was popular among a large circle of friends. He was about twentyseven years old, and leaves a wife and two J ?~ ? tlA o /4aiirrVitor rvf tViO ! (Jill 1UIC11* lie UiOUiieU u UOU^UVVl V4 U1V late Jacob Rentz, Jr. The burial took place Friday morning at Bethlehem Lutheran church. Rev. S. W. Danner was the officiating minister, and the Knights of Pythias lodge of this city buried him with Pythian honors. Mr. Htttto only joined the order a few months ago, but he had endeared himself to the brethren, and there was a goodly number of the members present to pay their tribute of love and respect. To the bereaved ones we extend sympathy. City Council Meeting. City council held a regular monthly meeting Tuesday evening of last week. The only matter of public importance was that of the high speed of trains through town, and council will pass an ordinance limiting their speed to four miles an hour in the corporate limits. This matter has long deserved attention, and the public will heartily appreciate the action of council. Hustling Denmark. Our sister city is awakening to her opportunities. There are some very live citizens there who are determined that her numerous advantages shall be known to the outside world. Their claims are well founded, and if Denmark does not become a great city it will not be their fault, nor for 116 18CK 01 gT6ill iLiXimai auvauia^cc and splendid transportation facilities. A strong real estate company is helping in the development of the city. Gangs of men have been en-, gaged for some time in opening and grading new streets and in other improvements. Quite,a large number of lots have already been sold to those who will improve them at once. Among the business lots for sale are some near the railroad right of way. Some very handsome buildings are now being erected, notably the fine school building and the beautiful Methodist church. C. H. Dorsett, of Savannah, Ga., represents the real estate company, and upon application will send plats and give prices and terms. Negro Kills Colored Woman. Anderson, S. C., June 3.?Marchaii Wnshinp-ton. a rovine:. worth less negro, shot and killed Ola Williams Monday morning on the plantation of W. H. Oulla, near Ware Shoals. Washington went to the store and bought some shells and invited some negroes to go with him, so it is said, as he was "going to kill a nigger," but as no one would go with him he went alone to a field where the Williams woman was at work and killed her. He then went back to Ware Shoals, stepped up to Officer Hughes and presented his gun and shells, telling Hughes that he was done with them as he had "killed him a nigger." Hughes locked the negro up. It seems to be a clear case of murder. I FIFTEI 1 Anoiher L; I OTHER SEASOI I .
