Cotton is opening rapidly now, ' and it will not be long before the M * staple will be coming to market at ^ ; r a lively rate.

The Orangeburg Amateurs returned to the city this morning from Bamberg where they went there yesterday to play one game of ball with that team. Tn one of the most rotten games ever played by the Amateurs, they were defeated to the tune of 14 to 5.

Garris, of Denmark, who is a candidate for the Legislature from Bamberg county, spent Tuesday night in town on his way to Farrell's, where he made a rousing speech at the campaign meeting Wednesday. Mr. Garris is able and eloquent and it has been a source of regret to his friends that he would not consent to enter the race for Congress from his district.?Branchville Journal. Mr. H. G. Sheridan and family left Monday for Lake City, where they will live in future, Mr. Sheridan having accepted the principalship of the school at that place. Their many friends here regret to give them up. Mr. Hugo Sheridan, one of their sons, will continue witn The Bamberg Herald, where he is learning to operate the linotype, in fact he does practically all of the typesetting on the machine. J. A. Nimmons, the colored barber, came home last week from a stay of two weeks in Boston, Mass. This city and State was a great abolition center just before the war between the States, but Arthur says conditions are much better for the negroes in the South. He says in Boston they give the negro plenty of opportunities to spend money but none for making any. In other words, a negro cannotJ get much work there. That pressed cut glass at The Herald Book Store is very pretty, and it is so cheap. One would be astonished at the prices. Bamberg and Orangeburg played a game of base ball here last Wednesday afternoon. Bamberg won by a score of thirteen to six.

Truely "death loves a shining mark," this being undisputable exemplified in the sad and sudden death of little Eva Brickie, youngest child of Mr. Geo. A. Brickie, which occurred last Thursday morning in Elberton, Ga. Little Eva has been living here with her grandmother since the death of her mother. Just ten days ago, she, with her sister, went to visit her aunt, when suddenly taken ill and died. She was laid to rest in Elmhurst cemetery by the side of her mother Friday afternoon. The floral offerings wrere numerous and handsome. We extend our deepest sympathy to the heart broken family, whose hearts are torn and bleeding with this heavy inexplicable affliction, yet they have the sweet knowledge and assurance that this pure and lovely child was ready for the change and is safe in the arms of Jesus. One Who Loved Her. Bamberg, S. C., August 15, 1908. rtarliste Fitting School. Mr. W. S. Hogan, Head Master of the Carlisle Fitting School, spent a few days in the city this week. He will bring his family back to Bamberg the latter part of the week. Mrs. Hogan and the children have been spending some time at Pacolet. Mr. Hogan says the oiitlook for the school this fall is most encouraging, and he expects an unusually large enrollment. Mr. J. C. Guilds also writes us to the same effect, and we are glad to have these encouraging reports. The enrollment of students this fall ought to be the largest in the history of the school, and we sincerely hope it will be. Married Near Ehrhardt. Last Sunday morning at 10 o'clock at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Folk, Sr., Miss Pauline Folk was happily united in marriage to Mr. Walter Ray, of Tampa, Fla. They left for their future home on Tuesday. Death of Mr. Riley E. Steedly. Mr. Riley E. Steedly, a well known citizen of this county, died at his home in Midway last Sunday morning about three o'clock. He had been in bad health for several years, being afflicted with Bright's disease, and had suffered much. The burial took place Sunday afternoon at Hunter's Chapel, the services being conducted by Rev. 'f'hos. G. Herbert, pastor of Trinity Methodist church. Mr. Steedly was about sixty years old, and had lived in this communiI ty all his life. He had been married twice. Of his first marriage four children survive him,. and his last wife and three children are living. One of his sons is .Mr. J. M.

McMillan we~e elected as stewards at the mill chapel. Gone to ,New York. Mr. A. Rice has gone to New York, where he will buy a large stock of fall and winter dry goods, clothing for men and boys, shoes, etc. Those who know of the large and handsome stock carried by Mr. Rice can rest assured that his display this fall will be prettier and cheaper than ever. He goes with the cash and takes advantage of every discount. The goods will commence to arrive in a few days, and you are cordially invited to call in and look over the magnificent display that will be made. It looks like money will be scarce this fall, and you can make your dollar do double duty at Rice's. Everybody will make a mistake unless they go to see him and get prices before making their purchases. Remember he does not handle cheap, shoddy stuff, but his entire line will be of the latest styles and most up-todate patterns. - . . ' A SUDDEN DEATH. Eugene T. LaFitte, Esq., Died Suddenly Last Thursday Morning. It was a great shock to the people of Bamberg last Thursday morning when it became known that E. T. LaFitte, Esq., was sick at his home in Denmark and was not expected to live. He was at his law office here the afternoon before, and was as well as ever and in fine spirits. Late in the afternoon he was at the ball game between Orangeburg and Bamberg. But shortly after- arriving at home, he was suddenly taken ill. Mrs. LaFitte and the children were in Savannah, where they were visiting relatives, but his neighbor, Hon. S. G. Hayfield, and his son, Kenneriy, goi a pnysiciaii m uucc and did all that could be done for him. Mr./LaFitte was in great pain when the physician arrived, and he was given opiates which seemed to quiet him, and the physician left. Soon afterwards Mr. Mayfield noticed that Mr. LaFitte was breathing very badly, and the physician was again hurriedly summoned, and as soon as he arrived he said Mr. LaFitte had suffered a stroke of apoplexy. He was then unconscious, and remained so until the end came about eleven o'clock the next morning. All that human skill and medical science could do was done, but all efforts to restore him were unavailing. Mrs. LaFitte and the children did not arrive at Denmark until several hours after his death, as there was no way for them to get there earlier. The burial took place at the Denmark cemetery Friday morning. The religious services at the house were conducted by Rev. J. B. Traywick, pastor of the Denmark Methodist church, and then the Masonic fraternity took charge and he was buried with Masonic honors.

B. Fowler and W. C. Kearse, Stewards; D. W. Phillips, Tiler. Mr. E. Jj. Price, who is W. M. of Oman lodge, was sick and could not be present, so Senator Black acted as as W. M. The pall bearers were all Mr. LaFitte's brethren of Oman lodge, and were as follows: W. M. Brabham, C. B. Free, Jones A. Williams, M. J. Black, A. M. Brabham, and R. L. Risher. Eugene T. LaFitte was born in old Barnwell county, on the Savannah river, his father being a physician. He wa^ a merchant in Beaufort for some years, where be married Miss Rountree, and later he was in the. mercantile business ^t Denmark. He gave up this and studied law in the office of Hon. S. G. Mayfield. He practiced at Denmark for several years, but for the nast four vears he had his office in Bamberg. He was a member of the house of representatives for one term. The first of this year he formed a partnership with Mr. Mayfield, and the firm was doing a fine practice. He had only recently built a handsome home at Denmark, and was comfortably fixed to enjoy life and get along well. He was about forty years old. Mr. LaFitte is survived by his wife and two children, a girl and boy, they being about ten or twelve years old. He carried life insurance of $5,000 in old line companies. Mr. LaFitte was of a generous nature, and his many friends will regret very much that he was cut off in the prime of life. He was quick and impulsive, but his tjovial disposition and warm heart made him easy to forget the little frictions which life brings about. He was a member of Denmark lodge, Knights of Pythias, being a Past Chancellor. Change at Cotton Mill. Mr. .H. Spann Steadman, who has been bookkeeper at the Bamberg cotton mills for the past two years, has tendered his resignation, ^to take effect the 15 th of September. He will go to Ashton, in Colleton county, to-keep books for a large lumber concern. Mr. G. P. Rice, who has been keeping books in Sumter for the past year or two, will take Mr. Steadman's place at the cotton mill. Mr. Rice is at his father's home in this city at present, recuperating from a long spell of fever, he beingN brought here from Sumter several weeks ago. While we regret to lose Mr. Steadman and famHy, we are glad to have Mr. Rice /back again. Died in Elberton. Little Eva Brickie, the six-yearold daughter of Mr. Geo. A. Brickie, died in Elberton, Ga., Thursday of last week. Since the death of her mother a few years ago, she had made her home with her grand mother, Mrs. M. R. Brickie, in this city, and only a few days before her death she had gone to j^iDenon w visit her father and other relatives. Her death was unexpected, as she was not sick at all when she went away. We understand that a congestive chill caused her death. The burial took place at Elberton by the side of her mother. Death of Mrs. Folk. Mrs. Ann Elizabeth Folk, wife of Mr. H. N. Folk, of Folk's Store, Colleton county, died last Thursday. Mrs. Folk had been in very bad health for a year or more, and her death was not a surprise to those who knew her condition. She was seventy years old. The burial took place at Wesley Chapel, in the same section, Friday morning at eleven o'clock, the services being conducted by Rev. T. L. Belvin, pastor of the Ehrhardt Methodist church. Mrs. Folk was a Miss Felder before her marriage, and was a sister of Messrs. J. D. and J. M. Felder. She leaves only a husband, her two children having died. Her son died an infant, and her daughter, who married Mr. Andrew Best, died several years ago. % ' ' / SAY | Did you know that you can * always find one of the best 4 and freshest lines of Staple and Fancy Groceries ever { seen in Bamberg county at < our store.
