This enterprising little town now has a cotton seed oil mill, elec- \ trie lights, etc., and is withal a bus- < tling place. If Bamberg would fol- ' low the lead of other enterprising j towns, and put some money into Lome enterprises, we would soon be on the road to prosperity. ? v Editor E. H. Aull, of the Newberry Herald and .News, says in his paper that there will no doubt be numerous amendments to the dispensary law offered at the coming session of the legislature, but that the system will stand substantially as it is. As Mr, Aull is Governor i McSweeny's private secretary, and is also an intimate friend of the governor, this statement, from him may be regarded as somewhat significant * * * The attention of our readers is di - rected to the letter of Congressman Stokes in reference ;to the new mail service, which will go into effect next July. As will be seen by his letter, this service will be effective on all star routes in South Carolina, and the experiment is to be tried solely in this State. Our people will no doubt hail gladly this great improvement in their miil facilities and .will be quick to avail themselves of it by erecting the boxes. * * * This should be the happiest Christmas for many years with our read ,1 Ana on/1 ft] 1 XC ft ers, auu iu mem, vu? ?- ???. .. extend the greetings of the seasoD, hoping for them the best that is possible along all lines of true happiness and prosperity. The people N " ^ of Bamberg county have good reas- ; on to be joyous at the Christmas- , tide. Many have enjoyed this se^- ' son a meed of prosperity not experi- * ' eneed in several years, and the j bhrden of debt, which has clouded j many' homes, has been removed, j May we all be as contented this time next year as we are now. * i The Alliance in this county is ? showing very little signs of life. If there ever was need for the organization now is the time. A fertilizer trust has been formed, and prices ( have been raised materially. Dis- 1 organized, our farmers can do noth- ( ing?their efforts will be worse than 1 futile. It is all very well to talk j about doing without fertilizer, but < this cannot be done entirely. There J are some lands upon which some 1 fertilizer must be used, and some j people will use it as long the manufacture continues. We hope the 1 farmers of Bamberg county wiV at < once organize for the protection of ( their interests. Mr. W. S. Bamberg ' has been prominent in Alliance i matters, and we would be glad to i see him take the matter of organi- ^ zation in hand. It should be done ' without delay. If anything is to be ] be accomplished, work should begin ( at once. < m ] The Kentucky Contest. i Frankfort, Ky., Dec. 19.?Iu ' accordance with the decree of the Democratic State central, executive and campaign committee, at their joint meeting last Thursday, notices 1 of contests against.

Editor of Bamberg Herald:?1 rrite in the hope of enlisting your ctive interest and co-operation in >reparing our people for the new nail service which goes into effect in ur State July 1st, next. After that time any one living on ?r adjacent to any star route in south Carolina may have his mail lelivered free by simply erecting a mitable box on the roadside, and hen directing the postmaster to end his mail out by the carriers. L'hat is all owe has to do. I may be pardoned for feeling iome anxiety that general interest )e displayed by our people at the itart This service has been inauglrated nowhere save in South Caro ina, and it was inaugurated there ipon my recommendation because I vas the originator of the plan. Much depends upon how our people receive and utilize this additional facility?not only as to whether it will be extended toother states, but as to whether we shall retain it After the expiration of existing contracts I hope, therefore, Mr. Editor, that you will frequently call attention to the subject in your paper and urge all to have their boxes in readiness for the first trip of the carriers in July. It is hoped that neat boxes will be put up that will make a creditable appearance when the postoffici inspector comes around. There art 373 star routes in South Carolina, and there ought to be 50,000 boxes ready for use on the first day of the service. It is understood, I presume, thai star routes are mail routes throng\i the country from one postoffice tc another. Theie is no conflict between this service and the rural delivery proper. This is an additional and distinct service. Very truly, J. Wm. Stokes. In Chili women are employee everywhere as street car conductors There was so much dishonest} among the men who were formerl} employed that the train proprietors filled their places with women, wht have been found in every way satis factory.

Conspious among the literary articles is An Affair of Violets, by Harriet Riddle Davis, a delightful story of happy results following the tragic ending of a young woman's efforts in a business venture. In this number also is presented the first of a series of practical papers on Childreu and Their [lis, by Dr. Grace Peckham Murray. Cornelia Atwood Pratt contributes the first of three papers cn The 5Toung Girl, dealing with the last of tier school days and the first years at home.

Among the personal friendships nterrupted but not ended by the Divil War, one. of especial interest was between Abraham Lincoln and Gleorge K Pickett. Lincoln was much the older, and when he was in influential figure in lllnois politics, young Pickett was ambitious to ?nter West Point Lincoln secured in appointment for him, and while he was at the academy wrote him many letters of kindly, almost fatherly, advice. Mrs. Pickett quotes from one of them in her memorial rolume to her husband, "Pickett and his men." "I have just Old the folks here in Springfield," wrote Mr. Lincoln, "on this one hundred and eleventh anni rersary of the birth of hi in whose name, mightiest in the cause of civil liberty, still mightiest in the cause rf moral reformation, we mention in solemn awe, in naked, deathless splendor, that the one victor)' we 3aa ever call complete will be the Diie which proclaims that there is not one slave or one drunkard on the face of God's green earth, Recruit for this victory." At the close of the letter he said: "Now, boy, on your march, don't yon go and forget the old maxim that 'one drop of honey catches moreflie3 than a half-gallon of gall.' Load your musket with this maxim, and smoke it iu your pipe," Pickett remembered, for there was not a drop of gall iu his whole life. Short as was Mr. Lincoln's tiuie when he passed through Richmond after its surrender, he went to the old Pickett home to hunt up his friend and former partner, General Pickett's uncle. He asked about the general himself, and then for the general's wife. When Mrs. Pickett heard the caller ask for George Pickett's wife, she went forward with her baby in her arms. "I am George Pickett's wife," she said. "And I am Abraham Lincoln." "The President?" "No. Abraham Lincoln, George's old friend." JSeeiDg the baby's outsti etched arms, Mr. Lincoln took him and kissed him. As Lincoln restored the baby to his mother he said, iu that deep and sympathetic voice which was one of his greatest powprs over the hearts of men: "Tell your father, the rascal, that I forgive him for the sake of your mother's smile and your bright eyes." Suiall Pox in Union Couuty. Columbia, Dec. 19.?The governor has received a letter from Santuc, Union county, saying that small pox had occurred in thatlown and a neighboring township.

Shell, the author of the famous manifesto that launched the Reform movement, died at his home in Laurens last Friday, aged about seventy years. Heart failure was the cause of his death. His death creates a vacancy hi the census supervisors of this State, as he had recently been appointed to that nffi/.p thrnncrh the efforts of Senator McLaurin. Great Britain is not having the easy job of whipping the Boers she anticipated. She has met with three severe reversals in South Africa, the last being when General Buller was repulsed at Tugela river.

A report in the Southern Tobacco Journal says that there is increased evidence of prosperity in the Sunny South Tobacco manufactory of Bamberg county. This factory has been ?n existence for a number of years and has successfully withstood the assaults of the trust. It affords a good example for the business men of this section, which is the tobacco section of the State. Bamberg is detached from the real tobacco raising section, yet it has maintained successfully the only factory for plug and smoking tobacco in the State, using all the tobacco raised in that county and selling its goods in all parts of the State. Some of them are on sale in Florence. If the Sunny South Tobacco factory, through good management can operate successfully through all these years, and sell goods in the tobacco raising section of this State, then the businessmen of this section have reason to be ashamed of their own lack of enterprise ?Fiorence Times.
