I Do you need a nice album? Go to ' Brooker's. We regret that, owing to the crowded condition of our columns, we have not been able to give our readers as much local news as we would like. If our merchant friends will continue to treat us as nicely as they have recently, wc will give them an enlarged paper every week. We , were forced to print a 6-page paper for two weeks, but that did not give us all the room necessary. It We thank our friends who remembered us this week. Let the good work go on until every man on our list is paid into 1901. Rev. Wm. I lay nsworth has accepted a call to the up-country, and will leave Denmark in a few days for his new held ot labor.

L\, addressed a small but appreciative ludience at the Methodist church last night on the subject of temperance. His lecture would probably have been better attended had it been announced earlier. New nuts at Huggins's. "Kavton's Komedians" were to plav Ati/lor mi rt Tnp?dav nights im c: , hut they failed to materialize. The manurer writes that they will he here next Monday and Tuesday nights, and says hey were forced to lay off for a week on iccount of discharging two members of ;he company for drunkenness. Fine vinegar at Muggins's. Last Mondav afternoon a nme bird dog belonging to Gen. F. M. Bamberg went nad. He is said to have bitten a little icgro l>oy, living on factory hill, and it is supposed that about twenty-five dogs, ome of them valuable setiers, were also utten by the mad dog. . He was killed Tuesday morning by Gen. Bamberg, and nanv of the dogs bitten have since been tilled. Dried apples at Huggins's. Two lively and rather remarkable runiwavs happened yesterday, from the fact hat very little damage was done. The louhle team of Mr. Otis Brabham, used >y him at the nursery, became frightened it the sound of the wheel scraping igainst the body in turning, and set out or home, about a mile distant. No one ras in the wagon, and notwithstanding he fact that several corners were turned, 10 damage wliatever was done. The second exhibition took place just in front of "he Herald office about dark. This orse started to run up street, and came a contact with an awning post in front f Spann's store, where he broke loose rom the buggy. He was stopped near ur office.

Last Thursday night the express mesengers were "held up" by robbers, and 1 1,700 gotten from the safe. The robbery ccurred at a siding below Branchville, rhere the train stopped.

A reward ' f ?500 was offered for the robbers, and : ist Tuesday night Mr. Bartow Warren, young man from Branchville, was ar- J ested in Charleston, charged with being oneemed in the robbery. Mr. Warren i ad gone on the evening train from ranchville, and had just left the train, 1 company with a lady, when arrested v Detectives Miller and Hogan, who had een notified of his coming. He was arried to Orangeburgyesterday morning nd placed in jail. The detectives who , iade the arrest will give no information 3 to the evidence they have against him, nd Warren says nothing except to projst his innocence, seeming very much Ltrprised at his arrest. Mr. Warren is riginally from Colleton county, near moakVX Roads, and had been conductlg a small store at Branchville. Going to Florence.

The deceased was a member of the grand jury, and had represented Barnwell county in the legislature) for six years, being a man of prominence and affairs. His man/ friends regret his death. Church Conference. There was, according to the opinion of some who have expressed themselves, one of the most interesting and profitable church conferences held in the Methodist church on Sunday last, that has ever been held in that church. The reports of the pastor and the various officers of the church were very interesting and encouraging, as will appear elsewhere in this issue. The church has done well, and the officers have proven themselves worthy of the honor conferred upon them, and eminently efficient in the work assigned them. o Court Proceedings. The December term of court for Bamberg county convened in the court house last Monday morning, with Judge D. A. Townsend presiding, and Actiug Solicitor Townsend and Stenographer Belliuger in their places. The judge made only a short charge to the grand jury, saying that the members had been charged by previous judges as to their duties. . In the course of his remarks he J spoke of the condition of the court ; house. ! The following cases were disposed j of at this term: The State vs, Jack Hoi man?mur- < der?not guilty. i The State vs. May Kice?grand < larceny?guilty?new trial granted. ?

A. Wa- t ters, charged with forgery. This is c the charge of forging Gov. Ellerbe's $ name to requisition papers, made by G. W. M. Williams. Gov. Candler o brought the case to the attention of $ Gov. McSweeney, who instructed the $ Solicitor to 110I pros. It will be re- $ membered this same matter caused $ Gov. McSweeney to remove Magis- p trates Ray and Lancaster. ( On account of the absence of at- f torneys most of the civil cases were f continued. The jury was discharged | yesterday at noon, and Court adjourned last night, the afternoon t being devoted to arguing motions, p etc. This was Judge Townsend's j] first visit, and he made a fine im- I pression upon all with whom he s came in contact, both as judge and a gentleman. t Among the visiting attorneys we t noted the following: Charles Carroll \ Simms, Jas E. Davis, C. A. Best. 1 and B. T. Rice, of Barnwell; Maj. 1 L. T. Izlar and J. Fullerton Buist, a cf Black ville; R. C. Hard wick and v E. T. LaFitte, of Denmark; H. M. a Graham, of Greenwood; and J. Ham Kirkland, of Olar. The grand jury finished up its work yesterday morning, aud made the following as their final present- t rnent: K GRAND JURY PRESENTMENT. t To the Honorable D. A. Town send, Presiding Judge: We, the grand jurors, have passed a upon all of the bills handed to us by the Solicitor. a We find the jail and surroundings neatly kept, and the prisoners well a cared for. We find that the old heater in the a jail is almost useless and very dangerous, and we recommend that it 1 be replaced at once. We recommended at the last term of court that the iron shutters to g the court house be made stationary when open, as their slamming en- j daggered the sash. We find that the County Commissioners have not attended to that matter. We find that some of the Magis- 1 trates of this county have not presented to us their books for exami- ^ nation, and we ask that they be presented to the grand jurors at the e next session of court. We have examined the bonds of the county officers, and find them J good and sufficent. We fin 1 the offices neatly kept, and all records in apparent good shape, except the books of the Probate Judge. Complaiut having . been made to us by the Probate Judge that a certain book and valnoltlti (-vurtprc h^lontrinor to his office ~ n - - ? ? have not been turned over to him by his predecessor in office, and that said papers are actually necessary <, that he mav get his records 111 ^ proper shape and proceed with the work of his office, we therefore recommend that the above book and ' papers be restored to the office of j Probate Judge without delay. j It is with deep regret that we | learn of the death of Mr. J. D. Kinard, one of the members of the grand jury. ( We thank His Honor, the Judge, ^ the Solicitor, and other members of j the court for courtesies shown us during the discharge of our duties. C, C.
