Fruits for cakes at Huggins's.
It is amusing to see how these towns
hasten to assure the public that the cases .
of smallpox there are "chicken pox." *
Well, it is the same kind of chicken pox t
that has been in the State for the past two >
years. (
Granola at Huggins's.

on the Atlantic Coast Line.

the white people here by his correct de
portment, and they wish him well.

While at Conference in Orangeburg
last week Rev. T. C. OT)ell received the
following telegram: "I will give $5,000
to Carlisle Fitting School. F. M. Bamberg."
This announcement was enthu- .
siasticaliy received, and elicited considerable
comment bv Bishop Key, who expressed
the hope that others who loved
the church and the cattle of Christian
education might follow the example of
the General. In speaking to Mr. O'IX'11
upon tin; subject. Bishop Key said 15aml>erg
was the banner charge in the Conference
on the Twentieth Century Movement.
Make jelly* cakes for Christmas. 5 lbs.
at Huggins's for 23 cents.
Bamberg county furnished the president
for the State Baptist Convention
two weeks ago, as well as the largest con- j
tributor to educational purposes for that J
? denomination. The secretary ot ihat j
body also lived in this town for a long |
time, married here, and in some measure !
belongs to Bamberg. Now at the Meth- j
odist conference a gentleman of this city,:
Gen. F. M. .Bamberg, contributes $3,000 J
to the Twentieth Century Educational
Fund, more than was given by any man
in South Carolina. Verily, we are somewhat
ahead on church and educational;
matters, and all of us here are proud of i
the fact. ?
There are several bad mud holes on the
sidewalks of Main street that should be
filled up.

The alarm of tire was given last Sunday
night, caused by the chimney burning
out at Mr. J no. R. Bellingers residence.
The freight depot has received a fresh
coat of paint, and soon Agent Eaves will
have his office in the passenger depot enlarged
and improved.
A solid carload ot fruit will be received
here to-morrow. This is probably
one of the few towns in this State where
such a large shipment of fruit is ever received.
As will be seen by tlie appointments in
another column, Rev. T. C. O'Dell has
been returned as pastor of the Methodist
church here, which is good news to his
many friends. Next year completes Mr..
O'DelPs fourth year as pastor here.
Barlow Warren, the young white man
from Branchville, who is charged with
robbing the express car, had a preliminary
hearing in Orangeburg last Saturday.
and was released on a bond of $SOO.
Some seemingly strong evidence against
him was introduced, but many people do
not believe him guilty, and the small sum
in which bond was required would indicate
that the ease is weak.
In view of tlie existence of small pox
at Denmark, Govan, and other parts of
the county it would be well lor everybody
in Bamberg who has not been vaccinated
to have the matter attended to
without delay. People from all over the
county will be coining here :a the next
two weeks, and the disease should not
get started here. We have no small pox
here now, and lei's keep it out.
Barnwell is to have an extra session of
court for civil cases, commencing the 3rd
Monday in February, to last three weeks,
lion. .J. II. Hudson has been appointed
is special judge. The extra term was
granted upon the petition of attorneys of
he Barnwell bar. The civil business in
his county is badly behind, and our bar
should petition for a special term as well,
o convene immediately after the Barnwell
court adjourns, with Judge Hudson
ts the presiding judge.
The Sheriff sales for January, 1900, adir?riised
in this issue, will not be made
>n tiie first Monday of the month, as is
lie rule, but on the Tuesday following
nstead, which is the second day of Jantary.
This is because tiie first Monday,
which is the first day of Hie month, is a
egal holiday?a dies lion?as old Julius
?tesar used to call 'em. Ami it is not
awful to do anything on such day ex:ept
to sit around ou dry goods boxes
ind swap lies with your neighbors, kinIred,
and the balance of mankind.
The Southern Railroad authorities
ihould be required by the Railroad Oomnissioners,
if possible, to make better
:onnectiou at Branchville. The wait in
he morning is not long, but passengers
rom Bamberg to Columbia are forced to
vait about two hours there at night.
Aiming l'rom towards Columbia to Bum>erg
you have to wait the same length of
ime, and this abominable slate of affairs
hould not be allowed to exist any longer. (
Phe traveling . public, we are sure, will
oin us in a demand for better connecious.

Wen. Bamberg's Generosity.
Since the establishment, of the
Carlisle Fitting School at this place
he institution has had no more deroted
friend and supporter than
*en. F. M. Bamberg,, who not only
lonated $2,000 to the buildings, but
las since given the school a library
josting $1,000 and a gymnasium
ivhieh cost several hundred dollars,
?ut has assisted. many deserving
ioys and girls in order that they
night be educated there.
Last Thursday the General wired
;he Annual Methodist Conference
n session at Orangeburg, a contrimtion
of $5,000 to the Twentieth
Ueutury Educational Fnnd, and we
inderstand that he will direct that
bio Bp uivpn to the Carlisle Fitting
School hero. We hope this is true
m<] have good reason to believe that
t is. This magnificent gift will
ierve to make the institution stronger,
and open up to it a much wider
jareer of usefulness.
However, the school should have
m endowment fund of $10,000 and
,ve hope that some of our citizens
will follow Gen. Bamberg's liberal
ead.

Dispensary "Money.
Last Monday County Treasurer
Dick in son'received from Comptroller
lieneral Derham, a check for $750.)6,
which is Bamberg county's share
;>f the dispensary school fund. This
money will be distributed to the various
schools in the county, but upon
what basis is not yet known.
By an act of the legislature this
dispensary fund is apportioned upon
the school reports of 1897, at which
time Bamberg county was not formed,
consequently the report sent
in by Supt- Scase was taken from
the records of Barnwell county. We
believe the amount would have been
larger had the distribution been based
upon the reports of a later period,
or in other words, since Bamberg
was a county. Next year we
will no doubt get more money from
this fund, as the distribution will
in all probability be based upon the
reports of 1S0S.

At the Convention.
Rev. W. E. Johnson, pastor of
the Baptist church here, took a very
prominent posistion at the recent.
State Baptist Convention, as will be
seen by the following extracts we
make from our exchanges:
Gaffney Ledger: "The Rev. W.
E Johnson, who made the speech
on the State College matter Thurday
night, is one of the growing men
among the Baptists. Without passing
an opinion on the principles at
stake, his speech was live and bright
and forceful and full of facts. He
has a bull-dog tenacity when he
takes up a matter and a happy vein
of humor. He is a good preacher,
and is pastor of the Bamberg
church.*'
Bantist Courier: "Rev. W. E.
- __r
Johnson, of Bamberg, made a ringing,
strong speech against the principle
of Taxing the poor to sustain
the State institutions. The speech
was full of pertinent, live facts.
Then he offered a resolution, citing
in the preamble the unjust discrimination
against the common schools.
The body of the report recommends
that all colleges live by voluntary .
support, that there be better provision
for the common schools, and
that, the Baptists invite the co-oper- (
ation of other denominations to this
end."
South Carolina Baptist: 4<W. E.
Johnson made a fine speech along <
the same line." ]

City Council Meeting.
At the meeting of city council '
last Thursday afternoon, the only '
members absent were Aldermen
Brooker and Brabham. ^
The marshal's report was received, !
and several bills were approved, after
which three ordinances were ,
adopted, as follows:
One forbidding the shooting of
fireworks on the streets, except by
permission of the Mayor; one making
it a misdemeanor to be helplessly
drunk on the streets; and the other
7 I
in reference to the hoard of health,
this being adopted in order that the :
town ordinance might conform to
the hist act of the legislature.

Olar, Dec. 12?C F Rizer has
opened a livery and sale stable at
this point. He begau with a car-,
load of horses and mules,and we are
glad to say he is doing a good business.
The citizens here held a masi
meeting last night to consider the
situation and to decide what steps
should be taken for our protection.
Many contend the disease is a form
of camp itch. The meeting was
called to order by Mr. Richard Morris,
who explained the object of our
assembling. It was decided to petition
the Governor to place a guard
at each infected house.
k The trustees of our school became
uneasy concerning the prevailing
disease, owing 10 its nearness
to our locality, and as a precautionary
measure, decided it were
wiser to suspend our school until
after the Christmas holidays. There
is no case at UJar.
R Karesh has moved to the corner
store, on west side of Main street.
He occupies a stand near the depot
in the heart of the place, and is doing
,i large share of the business
here, which he certainly deserves.
E D Bessinger is now with him and
is kept busy attending the wants of
his numerous friends. Mr Karesh
has done well to secure his services.

We are very sorry that the teachers'
nieetiug held here a few weeks
ago was so poorly attended, not
enough to organize. Miss Minnie
Cassidy was here, though, and we
know when she gets interested iu
anything, it must materialize; so we
just wait, and murmur not.
The Methodist Conference is now
in session at Oranbeburg, and we
suppose a good many are just waiting
with a heart for any fate. Mr.
Mouzon lias been here long enough
for us to feel that we have a claim 1
on him, and we shall be sorry if he
is not returned.
Many hegs were slaughtered during
our recent cold wave, and we are
now getting ready to fix for Christmas.
I have no slaughter pen of my
own, nor hogs either, but I live in a
christian land where good-will for
our fellow-man prevails. Rev. J. H.
Wilson remembered me in a very
substantial way, for, of course, he
remembers very distinctly how I
used to eat puddings and sausage at
his home; then too Mrs. Katie Ehrhardt
has favored us with a very
generous neighbor's share; and you
ought to have seen the basketful
Miss Lucy Carter brought last
Monday; and our pupils, Otis Cope- (
land and MonnieMcKenzie, remembered
that sausage and pudding are
guaranteed to keep a hungry school
teacher in a good humor.
Capt and Mrs W E Sense spent

Mr. Ceorge Kearse, a thrifty planter
and successful fox hunter, of
Folk's Store, lias entered somewhat
into the mercantile business, occupying
the old ice-house of Mr. Jacob

that this is more for the convenience
of his tie-cutters than anything else.

to -hear it asserted that anv one can sell
HARNESS
like ours at equal prices. Xot impossible of course, but
improbable. We have made this business a study, not
merely as a means of livelihood, but in order to give our
customers the biggest value and greatest satisfaction. That
we succeed is evidenced by the quality of what we now
offer. If stock was intended for government use and subject
to the rigid inspection of experts, it couldn't be better.
Here is a few sample prices:
Single Buggy Harness from $5.50 to $20.00.
Plow Bridles (55c. and up to $3.00.
Riding Bridles from 75c. up to $2.25.
Buggy Bridles from $1.00 to $2.50.
