Appeal Dismissed.
The appeal in the famous case of
Youmans vs. Bennett has been
abandoned. The following appeared
in the daily papers a few days ago,
which no doubt means that this
snds the case:
"The cleri: of the Supreme Court
bas dismissed the case of Rosa L.
Youmans et al against Abe Bennett
5t al on motion of J. Ham Kirkland,
Esq., of Bamberg county."
Take Care of the Court House.
The board of county commissioners
should take some steps at
once to keep the court * house and
grounds in better condition. The
building is not as clean as it should
be, and there are one or two window
panes broken. All around the
building may be seen the marks of
the tobacco chewer, the walls in
some places being in a filthy condition
from tobacco spit on them.
There should be a law making it a
misdemeanor, punishable by fine
and imprisonment, for any person
to chew tobacco or smoke in the
court house. The county board
should have necessary repairs made
at once. A janitor should also be
employed to take charge of the
building and grounds and keep them
in good condition.
The grounds should be fenced in
and walks laid out, and lawn grass,
shade trees, and flowers planted.
The court house is a magnificieut
building, well located, and it should
be kept up and made one of the
prettiest places in town. We hope
that the county board will take
action on this matter at the October
meeting and give us a public building
that will be clean and grounds
that would be an ornament to the
town. The cost will be small, and
the returns large.
Ixii) House Burned.
Last Friday about twelve o'clock
the gin house of Mrs. Carrie E.
Cop?, near Cope, caught fire aud
was totally destroyed. The fire
originated by a spark from the
engine, which ignited some bales of
cotton 011 the platform. About
thirty bales of cotton were burned
as well as the gin house, press, etc.
The engine was saved by hard work,
the engine house being a short
distance from the gin house. The
loss is about two thousand dollars,
with no insurance.
Bay Wliat You Owe.
Two weeks ago we sent out bills
to all subscribers who are in arrears.
Some have paid us; others have not.
There are some persons who' are
considerably behind yet, and we
wish to say to those that unless they
pay the money due, they necfl not
expect The Herald to continue its
visits to their homes. We cannot
ee?i ?i.. r?_
aiiuru 10 \? tiii niueiiuuen lor our
money, and will strike those names
from our list unless the amounts
due are paid. It the paper is worth
anything it is worth paying f>?r.
and those who receive it must come
up with the cash. We don't want
to lose a single subscriber, but we
cannot afford to work for nothing.
Cotton is bringing good prices, and
it seems to us that every one ought to
be able to pay now. We are
not asking f?>r charity, but f?>r tinmoney
that is rightfully ours.

Opening of the Fitting School.
Last Tuesday morning the Carlisle
Fitting School entered upon the
seventh year of its existence, under
auspicious circumstances. There
was a good attendance, and more
pupils will come in during the next
few days.
At ten ox-lock the opening exercises
were commenced by a service
of song and prayer, conducted by
Rev. H. B. Browne, presiding elder
of the Orangeburg district, who j
came over to be present at the open- .
ing of the school. Rev. T. C. .
O'Dell, pastor of the Methodist ]
church here, then made a short talk j
to the students, assuring them of
the kindly interest that he and the .
citizens of the town had in the school ]
and the students, (
He was followed by Rev. G. P. \
Watson, of Summerville, who made <
a talk full of encouragement and
sound advice. J
Rev. Mr. Browne was then intro- duced.
and he responded in a w-?y l
that showed his deep interest in ]
education and in the school here. (
After this, Mr. W. ? Willis, head t
master, made a sensible talk to tne
students, and thanked the people of <
Bamberg for the interest manifested (
in the school, after which the work \
| of matriculation was entered upon. c
The school this year is in charge c
of W. E. Willis, head master; F.
Eldon Dibble, first assistant; X. M. 1
Salley, second assistant; and Miss a
Florrie'Black, music teacher. The ]
primary department has been abol- (
ished, so there is no primary teacher f
this year. i
During the summer the buildings
have been thoroughly renovated t
and repainted, and everything is c
now in first-class condition. One ]
of our liberal citizens is seriously c
considering donating a magnificent j
gymnasium to the school, and lie is t
pretty sure to do so. This will be j
quite an addition, and if the idea is (
carried out a ^ell equipped gym- i
nasium will be put in.
The outlook for a successful year }
is very encouraging, there already j
being more boarding pupils than j
last year, and the faculty is detei- i
mined to make this the best year in
the historv of the school. <

The Cotton Market. ,
Cotton is selling in Bamberg to* (
day for to 7 cents. The receipts
of the week have been heavy, being i
about 1,000 bales. The market is i
firm, with buyers eager to get the t
staple. - s
Rev. TV. E. Johnson Called.
The Rev. W. E. Johnson, pastor i
of the Bamberg Baptist Church, t
who tendered his resignation some
months ago, to take effect the first ?
day of January next, has been asked 1
to reconsider it. Last Sunday he 1
was unanimously called to serve the (
church another year at a salary of s
seven hundred dollars. The salary
of seven hundred dollars, while one 1
hundred dollars less than the salary s
heretofore, is offered for the reason l
that Mr. Johnson long since has been g
of the opinion that night preaching i
in Bamberg is a failure so far as c
good results are concerned. In ac- t
cordance with his views the church
has resolved to dispense with night 1
preaching altogether, unless on i
special occasions, hence the action (
of the church to reduce the salary
to seven hundred dollars instead of \
eight, as the work will be so* much ]
lighter. Mr. Johnson has hot de- ]
termined what he will do, but his t
membership and congregation have j
strong hopes that he will remain.
It would be unfortunate for the de- <
nomination to lose the services of j
such a scholarly man. ]
Fire in Town.
Last Thursday morning about one ,
o'clock the eugine house of the
Bamberg Wagon Factory was dis- .
covered to be on fire. Their black- 1
smith shop and grist mill were ,
located in the same building, and all j
were totally destroyed. By hard
work the wagon shop was saved, as
well as the gin house. There was (
1
no insurance on any of the machinery J
or the building, and the loss is at .
least $1,000.

31 rs. Cope's I.oss.
OKAXCiKui Kw. Sept. Tb?One- of
tio- DiOct serious count r\ fires this
section lias known in years occurred
yesterday and resulted in the burn-i
ing of the ginnery of 3)rs. C. E.I
Cope, about three miles from Cope's, j
this county, together with fort}-six j
bales of cotton, and thousands of j
pounds of cotton seed. The lire
was caused from a spark and was
discovered, as tires usually are, when j
there was almost no assistance at j
hand, the ginnery having shut down
for dinner, and all of the hands, with j
but one or two exceptions, had gone
to their homes, too far away to return
in time to be of much service, j
w /. i i ~:.v,
.urs. v. ope k?sl ui-i gium-iequipped
with two 70 saw gins, cotton
press and elevator, ten bales of cotton
and several thousand pounds of
cotton seed, and her loss is placed
at about ?1,S00. The rest of the
cotton and cotton seed was owned
by quite a number of persons, so
that it makes the loss general, but
at the same time, more easy to bear.
Next to Mrs, Cope the heaviest
loser was a negro, who lost eight
bales of cotton. Two other parties
lost four bales each, and the rest,
one or two bales to the man, Exclusive
of the cotton seed, the total
loss is about ?3,000, and the seed
will run the loss up to ?35,00.

is last year, if not more so. Mr. 1

'ore next year to accomodate his 1
nany patrons. (
The price of cotton, we are glad 5
o say, is on the rise, and we sin- s
:erely hope it will go to ten cents. ^
Nearly all of our merchants buy
:otton, and Mr. C. E. Brabham, of
our town, comes down once a week,
>ut we have no regular buyer who J

Jouldn't we support one? there is (
nuch cotton marketed here. *

111 Trouble Again.
I Frod A. Black w<uh of >?:?mwell, |
is in irow]>k- again. This time he ]
lias enough (,n hand to last him the' i
balance of his life. Past experience i
in jail and penitentiaries have failed j
to convince him that the way of the j i
transgressor is hard.
Several months ago he succeeded!
in passing several forged checks in j _
Augusta, one for $100 on the Irish
American Savings Bank and another
for $125 on Day and Tannahil).
On last Thursday lie left Barnwell
and went to Augusta, expecting to j
make a larger haul. On Friday he
O 0 v ! j
attempted to pass a forged draft j
for s450 on the Georgia BaiTroad i
Bank. The signature and endorsement
could not be told from the
genuine handwriting of the alleged 2
maker and endoisers of the draft, | ?
and the cancellation of revenue jj
stamps was so artistically done that; c
the}* were well calculated to deceive; ?
the average citizen. The cashier j|
detected the fraud and the police g
caught him in the S. C. and G. a
freight yard, probably waiting for
an outgoing train. A forged check
and two drafts amounting in all to
?800 were found on his person, ile
was lodged in jail to await trial.?

THE HERALD BOOK STORE. The
Absurd Card of Thanks.
It is time this absurd custom was
abolished. There is no need of
thanking your neighbors publicly .
for observing a plain duty. It looks I
is if some people like to make a
:lisplay of grief when the.death
angel invades their households.
CJaids of thanks and resolutions of
condolence can be abolished ultimately
by insisting that they be charged .
for at regular rates.' It is an im- J
position upon newspapers to have '
:heir space occupied by matters
,hat are not of general interest to
;heir readers. After one has chron- ft
cled the death of a person, and re- o.
corded the observance of the last
?ad rites, it has done its part, and
ihould be entitled to a discharge t

A ttorney General Bellinger yester- .
lay received a letter from Col. W.A.
Seal, who is at his home in Pickens !jf
county, stating that he would be in 11
Columbia Saturday or Monday to ^
pay the "amount due the State'' by U
eason of the shortage in his ac- "
counts as superintendent of the ,,
i r-\ \ at . .1 4 . ji 11
leuitenuary. ooi. i\e.u requesieu ge
;he attorney general to wait on his ^
Dondsmen until he came here, as he j.J
lid not want them given any more
trouble about the matter.
This is the third appointment
which has been made for the settle
nent of the penitentiary shortage.
The attorney general has been ready
for a settlement on ea -h preceding
jeeasion and he will be prepared to ict
for the State at this time. The s
lelays have been on the other side
!n each instance.
It is eerta;n that the State will or
loose nothing even if Col. Neal fails ft
to pay his shortage, and in view of '
the recent procrastination, there is
floubt entertaine 1 in some'quarters _
is to the ex-superintendent's intentions
in the matter. From a financial
standpoint it is all the same
whether Col. Xeal himself pays the
imount due or whether it is put up
by his bondsmen, and in neither
case will the criminal proceedings **

Answering His Own Question.
Rev Cortland Myers has iust pub
lished tlirougli a New York firm, a
little book entitled "Why men do
not go to church," and it brings up
li passage at arms which occurred T
between him and General Horace J
Porter at a Washington's birthday
banquet given in New York, says
the Philadelphia Post. The clergyman
was called upon for a speech,
iud getting warmed up in his subject,
did not notice the flight of time _
until he was called to order by the .u
presiding officer. He looked at his
watch and saw that he bad taken an
hour, although the speakers had
been limited to fifteen minutes.
He apologized to the audience and ^
remarked: "Over in Brooklyn I am
iccustomed to speak for a long time
to my congregation, and I often
take two hours."
Gen. Porter was the next speaker, fc
md he opened his address by saying: re
"The explanation of our reverend friend
gives a complete answer to M
that hitherto mysterious question
why Brooklyn's people refuse to 11
patronize their churches."
