With a Teachers' Institute, a Court of General Sessions, and a first-class lecturer, all in town at the same time, Bamberg was reasonably lively, early in the week. We understand that G. W. M.

We believe j our farmers are going to prefer thp round bale instead of the old sfvle square one, and certainly they need to' take advantage pdLeyery means of reducing the expense of pttfting-their cotton on the market.

Mr. Causey was a soldier of the Confederacy, unmarried, and about sevmtv-three years of age. His body was ;akeu to Graniteville for iuterroent. The graded school trustees held a meeting a few days ago and elected three adiitional teachers, as follows: Mrs. J. A. Murdaugh, Bamberg; Miss ret ?tepnens, Dolleton: and Miss Lillier Stevens, Lancaster. Miss Belle McKewn, of Orangeburg, was elected alternate teacher, in case any of the others should fail to accept. It was decided to open the school about the 18th of September. We regret that our paper was late test issue, and will he a^aiu this issue, but we could not help it. The rollers for our new press did not arrive, and, although we bad the paper ready, we could not print it. We hope that our friends will bear with us for the present. We have had a jreat deal of vexation and annoyance jetting the press in shape, and it is not right yet. We hope, howeyer, to get out the next issue on time. Several of our young men have organzed a literary and debating societv, and :he trustee# of the Fitting School have assigned them a room in that building in which to meet.

The young men of the town met, last Wednesday evening at the armory and reorganised the Bamberg Guards. Maj. Havelock Eaves was called to the chair, and explained the object of the meeting, the benefits to be derived from a military company in our county, etc. The following officers were then elected: f Caufcain?Havelock Eaves.

We hope that our citizens will support the company liberally, in order that the organization may be made one of which we all may be proud. r?he young men give their rime and money to t}je cause, and surely our citizens will give them all the financial assistance they may need. Summer School. The summer school for teachers, in charge of Mr. A. J. Thackston and Miss Jessie McKenzie, at the Carlisle Fitting School, is working very satisfactorily. There are sixteen teachers in attendance, as follows : ? T. D. Jones, Ehrhardt. G. 0. Barker, Olar. Tlios. J. Rentz, Midway. J. Westcoal Black, Hartzog. 1^. A, Bickle, Ehrhardt. J. II.

Chairman Board Pensioners. Passing of the Quarto Herald. The mechanical mountains of difficulty which have been almost insurmountable obstacles in the path of publication of the "New Her-| ald," have so seriously delayed the issuance of this paper?therefore restricting its space?that "Secundo," of the above captioned article, has to go over until our next publication day. It relates the mishaps and difficulties which marked the journey of the Printer and the Devil, across ! the country to Orangeburg, to get printed the forms for the issue of The Herald dated July 13, and is as full of the tragedy of despair^and the comedy of failure, as the article which described the "Setting up of the Press." It was the original purpose of the writer to relate the story in two j numbers, but the crowding in of new experiences makes it necessary to publish three articles. In our next issue will appear the "JSecundo," and the following week we shall print the "Tertio"and final in stalment of as interesting a story of difficulties overcome as the average man ever reads. Card of Thanks, To the Voteis of Bamberg County: Please accept my most sincere and hearty thanks and appreciation for the vote given me in the recent election for Probate J udge; and I assure you that I shall endeavor to perform the duties thereof with the utmost care and prudence, and in keeping with the honor which you have bestowed upon me. Kespectfully, B. W. Miley. Denmark, S. C., July 25, 1899. Cedar Ba>* Pipnic, The Cedar Bay picnic, which will hake place on the fifth of August, near Mr. Northrop Bellinger's home, is expected to be like the first: a perfect success. The public is iuyited to tying "well S}led baskets." The committee have engaged the Colston string band for the day, and are anticipating fine music." Datyel Pratt Pnenmatie System, and the Lowry Pre*s, Mr. J no. F. Folk is putting in at Bamberg a modern ginnery, strictly up-to-date in every respect, including the Lowry Press. In conversation with Mr. Folk tye Jearp that he is prepared to put in an 1 old:tinje square hale press on short notice, if'his patrons walit it, hut that he feels satisfied that they will not want the old style after they have once tried the Lowry bale, for the following reasons: If they take a bale of cotton to an pldr time ginnery, they pay $i} for ginning and packing. Put this down on one side. If they take it to his improved system of gins and have it put up on the Lowry Press, it costs him $i for ginning, $i for compressing, and 44 cents for wire and ducking covering for the two bales, making a total of 52.44. Now, on account of the cotton beiug put up in this shape, the owner is guaranteed I2.25 more for it than for the same cotton in the square bales. Take this amount from $2.44 and we have 19 cents left, the amount that it has actually cos't'the planter to haVe his cotton ginned. The ten thousand bales of cotton put up in the old style, which are sold in Bamberg every year, represent $10,000 for ginning. Put up on the I<Qwry press, that amount of cotton will represent $1,900, a saving to the planters of $8,100, if all the cotton was put up in Lowry bales. Mr. Folk claims thaWhe will be able to produce a better sample from the same seed cotton 011 his system of gins, than is made by the average ginner, and his claim in this respect appears entirely reasonable. The capacity of Mr. Folk's outfit is thirty-five bales per day; August Ladies' Hoiue Journal. Hamlin Garland, .^ntlipiiy Hope.

The long and useful life of this 1 Christian gentleman, this man of all l those virtues characteristic of the . man of "the old school," was termi- : nated last Monday morning at 9.30 L o'clock.
