service is only for the summer months,

Several towns in the State have estabk
"dished bonded warehouses in which fanners
can store their cotton for a small fee
and draw eighty per cent of its value.
Bamberg ought to be able to do as much
for its farmers as other towns do for
theirs. The bonded warehouse idea, if
carried out, would save thousands of dollars
to the producers and add an equivalent
amount to the trad-.1 of merchants in
* ?? those towns where the warehouses were
located.

Addresses the Farmers. f
An alliance picnic was held at
Maple Cane, in Colleton county, on (
he 7th instant, at which Hon. C. :
W. Garris was present and addressed ;
;he assemblage. A reporter in the
Pr&s arid Standard gives the fol- 1
oaring account of his speech: * 1
Last but not least came Hon. G. W. I
Harris, who made the best and most prac- *
:ical speech on the present condition of 1
he farmers and the remedies for their i
:onditions that I have ever heard on the ]
subject. I cannot attempt to give a synapsis
of his speech, for it was lengthy,
Wr> and at times eloauent. He does '
:iot believe that any relief can be legislat- s
;d for the farmers, but their remedy is at i
aome and consists in energy in the field .
md economy in tlie home. He thinks s
free silver is out of the question. We
need not hope for it. s
The reporter is tuistaken in one i
particular, however. iJ r. Garris did 1
not say he thinks free silver is out 1
of the question, but that if we ever i
got free silver it would take hard f
work and be a long time. For the '
farmers not to be lulled to sleep ;
over the idea that free silver would <
be a panacea for all their ills, but to <
go to work now, with the advantages. '
at hand, to better their condition,
and not to sit down ana wait for
fiee silver.

Carlisle Fitting School.
To the People of Bamberg:?The
Carlisle Fitting School will enter!
upon the seventh year of her history
011 next Tuesday morning, the 26th
instant. The opening exercises will
ba conducted in the chapel of the
< 1 1 TT" I
school at about ten o'elocK*. \\ o j
would be glad to have as many of j
the good people of Bamberg present j
at the opening us eau come. Your j
presence will be an encouragement!
both to us and to the pupils who |
come to us from other communities.
By your interest and presence they j
will be made to feel that they are!
among kind friends. It is one of
the trials a boarding pupil has to j
undergo when he enters school.
They miss the influence of home j
life; they are separated from the!
protection of the home; the ease]
and freedom of the home is painful-1
ly missed. But the kindly inter-j
ests of our friends here in those!
who come to the Fitting School,;
have made these trying experiences!
more easily endured.
All this interest. 011 your part has!
been highly appreciated. It has;
given me a strong argument to in-j
duce cur young people to come to
i Bamberg. So c une again and meet
I I
: the new and old students and give!
i t hem a welcome.

Cotton Weigher Rrojis Dead.
Mr. 3aion lhuiclifie, the recently
Mected cotton weigher at Denmark,
dropped dead Friday, shortly after
noon, while weighing a bale of cotton
on the Coast Line freight depot
platform. The bursting of a large
irtery was the cause of death, and
the dread summons came so suddenly
that the body of the stricken man
ivould have fallen prone upon the
platform had not a friend, standing
near by, caught it in his arms.
Although Mr. lirdcliffe hud been
11 bad health for some time, his
sudden death was a great shock to
the community, in which lie was
universally respected. He was 61
rears of age, and leaves a widow, who
is prostrated with grief. Dr. Wyuian
peformed a post mortem on the
body, and found that de\th was
jausetl by an anuerism of tl^p aorta.
Mr. Eadcliffe was an excellent citi
sen and a gallant Confederate sol1
ior. He participated in twentyseven
pitched battles, and was always
in the thickest of the fight.
His remains were interred m the
rillage cemetery Saturday afternoon.
Pickaninnies Burned to a Crisp.
On Thursday night last a tenant
louse ou one of Senator S. G. Mayield's'plantations,
near Lees, was
lestroyed by fire. In it, fast asleep,
vere two pickaninnies, aged three
md five years, the children of Carrie
Inabinett and Georgia Jones, respectively,
They were burned to a
;risp.
Friday morning Magistrate E. T.
LaFitte, acting as coroner, held an
nquest over the charred remains.
Fhe evidence adduced went to prove 1
hat the mothers of the black banes
had been in the habit of going
>ff to "frolics" at night, leaving the
roublesorne kids locked in the house
intil they returned ; and the jury
eturned a verdict that the .children
ame to their death through the
minimal carelessness of their mothers.
The two women were commited
to jail to await trial on the se ious
charge of infanticide at the
December term of court.
Denmark's High School Opens.
The Denmark High School opened
>n the 11th instant with an uniisuilly
large attendance. The occasion
was very interesting, a large
lumber of patrons being present to
rreet the new teachers and listen to
several speeches made by citizens.
Mr, J. Arthur Wiggins has built
ipa model high school in this oomliuuity,
and has begun his fifth
rear as superintendent, assisted by
Hisses Maggie Rirkley, of Camden ;
Sell Pegues Evans, of Cheraw;
tfaud Tillman, of Lancaster, and
Vlary C. Leland, of McClellanville.
During the summer months the
ward of trustees had a fourth assistant's
room and a neat library
'oom built. The building now presents
a handsome appearance.^
Among the graduates of the high
school last session, Messrs. Alfred
Steadman and Herbert Hightower
jave matriculated this session at

Death of a Minister's Wife,
Mrs. W. II. Wro'tou, whose husband

a few hours' illness, at Mr.
Wroton's present home, on his

\
(traded School Opening.
Monday morning was a lively dav
; for t he children of Hamberg. Vacation
for many was ove'-, and the
I r-chool beil was ringing,calling them
back (o the work which they had
laid aside in early summer.
The day was not bright, nor propitious
for a large tuni out", for a
drizzling rain was falling, yet this
did not deter the children in their
eagerness to be present the lirst dav
of school.
| Around at the Graded School they
began to arrive early, and by nine
o'clock they seemed innumerable
All tile teachers were present except
Miss Pet Stephens, who is detained
at home by sickness, but she
hopes to begin her work in a few
days. Miss Bertha Felder will
teach the fifth and sixth grades until
Miss Stephens arrives.
A good many patrons of the school
were at t be opening to show by their
I presence their interest in the school,
and to encourage the teachers in
their work.
After the devotional exercises by
the principal, Mayor L. C. Inglis
was called on and responded in
words of congratulation and encouragement
to the" students, urging
them to take advantage of the present
to fit themselves for future life.
Mr, H. C. Folk, as chairman of the
board of trustees, made a neat
speech to the scholars, assuring
them of his earnest desire to-see the
school succeed. Xo cue has done
more for the school than Mr. Folk.
Me has spared neither time nor
means to get the building ready for
the opening, and with him and tlie
other two gentlemen on the board
there is no such tiling as failure.
After the opening exercises were
over, the scholars were enrolled and
assigned to grades. It will be several
days before all are fixed permanently
in their grades. Thirtysix
were put in the first and second
grades; twenty-three in the third
and fourth; twenty-three in the
fifth and sixth; 25 in the seventh
and eighth; four in the ninth. The
school will increase considerably as
the session advances,
Denmark Not Jealous of Bamberg.
The Denmark correspondent of
the Xews and Courier has this to
%ay in a recent letter:
The officers of the law have been unable
to definitely locate Lawyer G. \Y. M.
Williams. Just after the occurrence with
the Georgia constables he spent a week
with a friend near the Bamberg and
Barnwell line, but mysteriously disappeared
just in time to escape from the
Bamberg county sheriff. He has since
been heard of in Aiken and Augusta; in
fact, he was seen in Augusta a few days
ago by a railroad employe, who was requested
by Mr. Williams to bring back
the news to his friends, that he expected
to be with them again in a few days,
around the old town pump. It is said
that wherever he stops he puts out trus'v
couriers who bring to him at the critical
moment information concerning the officers
of the law. It is thought that he
will offer to pay up the fine imposed on
him by the Georgia court and sue for
peace, but very probably he will be arrested
upon his return for other charges
connected with the present matter.
The leading men of this community do
not like the report Solicitor Sawyer for^
warded to the Governor. They asserted
that the conclusions drawn were too
sweeping and carried with them a wrong
impression to the reading public.
Williams has some friends in this section.
This place has never been the scene
.-1 ~ r\( It l c rprl-1PCQ hflhitS
u; a iiiOLanvv. Ui iiio 4WM*vww ,
The solicitor was impressed that Denmark,
which meant the community, was
aiding Williams in his trouble and escape,
simply because Williams was hated
by the people of Bamberg town. Mr.
Sawyer never made a greater mistake.
The people of this community are broadminded
and considered the existing relation
between Williams and the Bamberg
citizens purely individual and personal.
It would be a peculiar people that would
persistently love when a sister town persistently
persecuted a criminal or vice
versa. The ^hole affair was local, involving
matters between Williams and
citizens of Bamberg town. Denmark has
never wished to play a part in the matter.
Local county officials were connected
with the affair in the end, and Governor
McSweeuey has promptly dealt with
them. If he gathers information in the
Philippines, and forms conclusions as he
has done in this instance, Aguinaldo will
certainly get his scalp. The people of
Denmark are not vexed with Sawyer, but
regret that he has given the kind friends
of Bamberg town such peculiar information.
Examination of Teachers.
c
Iii order that all teachers in the
county may understand the whys
and wherefores of the teacher's -examination
to be held Friday, October
13, we publish the following letter
from State Superintendent of
Education McMahan to County
Superintendent si ease:
I write to inform you that at its last
meeting on the loth instant, the State
Board of Education ordered that an examination
be offered in each county on
Fridav, the 13th of October. This
j was done for the following reason; In a
I large number of counties the abolition of
! tiie September examination was not fully
! advertised and understood, nor was there
a full advertisement of the fact that ut
llie close of the Summer School there
was offered an examination, open to all
applicants for teachers',, certificates.
.Moreover, it was necessary to have an
examination for negro teachers in those
counties in which no Summer School for
them was located this summer; consequently
the board has ordered this examinat
ion. The questions will be submitted
| by me and will be printed and sent to
j you a day or two before the examination.
Please advertise the matter fully at
I once and let it be understood that all peri
sons who expect to get certificates before
I the February examination must apply,
j as 110 special examinations will be made
I under any circumstances. Let it be tin|
derstood also that whites as well as nei
groes will be examined, if they apply,
j Those white teachers, who did not at:
tend the Summer Schools and have not
been excused by the Slate board at its
last meeting, will have no other oppor!
tunitv to be excused and their certificates,
I if tlicy expire before another Summer
i Scludl, will not be renewed. Hence,
many of those had better stand this Ocj
tober examination.

I the horse to run, Both the young
I ladies were thrown out, and bruised
considerably, but they were not sei
riousiy hurt. The buiryry was broken
up somewhat.
Cotton Weigher Elected,
The board of county commissioners
met last Monday to elect a cotton
weigher for Denmark, this position
being vacant on account of
the death of Mr. Aaron Radcliffe,
which occurred last Friday. Tlu-rt
were several candidates, and Mr. S.
D. Guess was elected.
A Pertinent (Question.
A good friend of ours who is old
enough to be something of a philosopher,
said the other day interrogatively
:
"What must we think of a crowd
of professed followers of the meek
and lowly Jesus?a preacher of His
word among them?who when they
get together find delight not in
commending only that which is
good in their fellowmeu and women,
but in viciously and venomously
backbiting the character of some
absent one, oftentimes in their intemperate
zeal making statements
