Hunter has in his possession two exceedingly interesting? almost sacred?relics of the late war between the States. One of these is a tiny square of blood-stained and bullet-riddled silk, cut from the bonnie blue battle-flag of the First South Carolina regiment of infantry, in which his father, Sheriff J. B. Hunter, fought and bled in defence of that Lost Cause which, as years pass away, becomes a doubly sacred and righteous" one. The second of "Cap's" relics is a splinter from the carriage of that cannon, fired by the patriotic hand of olu Edmund Ruftin, the reverberations of which rolled over this Southland of ours for four long years. It was the first gun fired in. the Donfederate attack upon the entrenched Federals under Major Anderson, in Fort Sumter. The identity of these sacred relics is. perfectly authenticated. They came into the possession of Mr. Hunter during his recent visit to Summeryille. Dispensary Profits in 1S99. Dispenser J. D, Felder furnishes the following facts and figures respecting the profits from Bamberg" county's four" dispensaries during the year 1899: Our own establishment for the distribution of beverages of an alcoholic nature shows a total profit of $2,092.72; of this amount the county gets one-lialf and the city the other half* or $1,040.30. The Denmark dispensary made $1,231.49, which was equally divided between the town and the county, the latter's share being $616.74. Olar'had a balance on the right side of $273.99, the county's half being $136.99. Ehrhardt made a clean profit of $304.46, the county getting $152.22 of this amount. The total amount paid into the county treasury from the four dispensaries was $1,951.3*1. Alone in Jail. Dan Gunnells, charged with the murder of Willie Grimes, at Govan, is now Sheriff Hunter's sole boarder. Last Friday Lawyer H. Spann Dowling secured the release on bail of his negro companion, May Rice, convicted at the last term of court" of larceny, but granted a new trial by Judge Townsend. Gunnells misses his sable attendant, who waited upon him faithfully, and he now passes away the weary hours of his imprisonment reading Kipling's works. l.ono nnilor wmcirforatinn t.hfi 1115 lilV> > C15 Uiii v uiivivt question of applying for his release on bail. Knights of Pythias Elect Officers. At a regular meeting of Bamberg Lodge, Knights of Pythias, held last Monday night, officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows* Chancellor Commander?Jno. F. Folk. Vice Chancellor?F. F. Johnson. Prelate?K. L. Risher. Master of Work?J. D. Quattlebaum. K. R. S. and M. F.?H. C. Folk. Master-at-Arms?Havelock Eaves. Master of Exchequer?A. E. H. Simmons. Trustee for three years?W. D. Rhoad. Mr. Wm. M. McCue was given the rank of Page. The semi-annual reports of officers were made, which show the lodge to be in good shape. There are forty-one active members, and the lodge now has ten Past Chancellors. The assets amount to $56*2.98 in cash and stocks and bonds, and $263.65 in lodge furniture. The lodge has lost only one member by death during the last six months, Mr. W. H. Carter, who died about three months ago. John Walker Pardoned. Governor McSweeney, on Friday last, granted a pardon to the negro, John Walker, convicted of manslaughter, in Bamberg county's first court. Judge Watts presiding, April, 1898, and sentenced to four years in the penitentiary. Walker murdered another negro, as the pair were leaving Denmark together, and while both men were under the influence of liquor. There had been previous trouble between Walker and the man he killed, over the former's wife, and the present acting solicitor and Judge Watts recommended the pardon, his petition being signed by most of the leading white men of the county. Many of these sent letters testifying to his previous good character when he was placed on trial, and Judge Watts, in imposing sentence, said: "It is the testimony of these white gentlemen to your previous good conduct that influences me, more than any one other thing, in giving you a light sen w^uvv. County Tax Levy. The tax levy for ordinary county purposes has only been three mills for Bamberg county since its formation, but it will no doubt be four mills this year, 011 account of the increased expenses. Our legislative delegation consulted with the county officials this week, the income and probable expenses were carefully gone over, and it was found that the tax levy would have to l>e raised or the county would get in debt. The delegation will recommend that the levy l>c made four mills this year, and this is the right thing to do. It is far better to increase taxes than to let the county get behind. Let's pay as we go. That's the way to do business. If we once get in debt it will be mighty hard to get out. Size doesn't indicate quality.

Bamberg Teachers' Association. State Superintendant of Education McMahau is deeply interested in county teachers' associations, and an advertisement in another column orders a meeting of all the teachers in this county, at the courthouse, on Saturday next, January ldth, for the purpose of organizing one in this county. It is to be hoped that there will be a large attendance and that 1 something will be done. Each white 1 teacher in the county has been notified of the purpose of this meeting by circular letter, and there i9 no excuse for non-attendance. * The course of work which has been mapped out for the last year of 1 the nineteenth century by other associations in the State is of the greatest interest to those in the profes- ' ~ ' Oiwl flnprp IS lift SIUIJ ul pcMag?.>gj, duv.w -- ? doul>t that the Bamberg county teachers, if thej organize, and keep up their association, will be able to do better work in school, and increase their present store of intellectual capital. The Richland county association, when it organized, adopted a plan of work as follows: A course of reading on matters pertain iug to the profession of teaching; the study of one book each month, the devotion of not less than onehalf the time at each meeting to the discussion of the book then uuder consideration. This association at its December meeting took up for study Rousseau's "Emile,"and Prof, Thomas Davidson's "Criticism of Russian Education According to Nature," and the Bamberg teachers can do no better than adopt a program of a similar character. Two Sunday Marriages. The air was redolent with the odor of orange blossoms at Hunter's Chapel, last Sunday, and the merry peal of wedding bells was deafening. Mr. E C. Hunter, eldest son of Sheriff Hunter, former deputy Sheriff aud present quartermaster sergeant of Co. B Second South Car- 1 olina Militia; was quietly married, at the house of Mr. J. H. Fender, to Miss Minnie Lee Miley, sister of ( Probate Judge B. W. Miley, and only daughter of the late J. C. Miley, * the Rev. W. E. Johnson officiating. Mr. Hunter is one of the most pop- 1 ular of Bamberg's younger business men, his bride is all that is sweet ( and womanly, and?particularly as there was the romance of "runaway" $ in their wooing and wedding?the couple are being congratulated on every hand by their many friends, 1 and The Bamberg Herald joins with these in wishing Mr. and Mrs. f Hunter, long life and prosperity. The second marriage ceremony 1 was performed by Magistrate N. P. Smoak, his words making oue "until ( death do them part," Mr. Wm. C. ( Zeigler and Miss Fannie Harris. More Light Wanted. The residents on "Factory Hill," ] who are employed in the cotton fac torv, and obliged to go to their work < in the early morning hours, when it is darkest, are grievously in need of { "more light," to guide their footsteps. - i Their demand is not an unreasonable one, and council shonld give < them what, they ask for. They contend that they pay taxes, and the i cost of another street lamp or two in that section of the city would be < but a trifle. Let them have what they ask for. 1 Want Dispensary Removed. } Some of the citizens of Flhrhardt want the dispensary out of that town, j and nineteen residents of that place ( have signed a petition asking for its removal. Their argument is that the dispensary is not properly con- < ducted, that it costs the town extra on account of having to employ a < policeman, and that mauy who favored its establishment now want it } removed. Those who want the dis pensary contend that it pays a prof- ] it to the town, and if it were abolished blind tigers would take its place. , The petition was sent to the State , board of control, and referred by that body to the county board, who, at its meeting last Tuesday, consider- ( ed the matter. It is not yet known what action will be taken, but it is , probable that a counter petition will be circulated, asking the board to 1 still keep the dispensary there. Or it ; may be that an election will be held on the question, and if Ehrhardt's , citizens don't want a dispensary, a two thirdR vote against it will close the place up. TO THE PUBLIC.' Knowing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to be a medicine of great worth and merit and especially valuable for coughs, colds, croup and whooping cough, we will hereafter warrant every bottle bought of us and will refund the money to anyone who is uot satisfied after using two-thirds of a 25 or 50 cent bottle. Company B Fall lu. The old "Bamberg Guards," of honored memory, is now Company B of the Second Regiment, Sonth Carolina Volunteer Militia. Since the inspection and muster in of the company, drills have been suspended, but Gaptaiu Eaves wants to wake the boys up, and bv reference to an advertisement elsewhere it will be seen that they are ordered to "fall in," Friday night, (to-morrow) January 12, and report at the armory at 8:3(5 o'clock, in full uniform. Capt. Eaves has received a check * 11 r ai\l\l>nnri J. I ior me uuiuuui/ ?u uiwucj u^>v|,..u ted to this command by the State, and it is extremely necessary that all State property be turned in and inspected, so that an inventory can be taken of same, and some arrangements made for the future conduct of the command. Next summer there will be an encampment of the armed forces of the Si ate, and Company B should uphold the old reputation of the "Guards" and get themselves fit for the soldierly duties that will devolve upon them. It is expected that the long-delayed armament for the company will arrive shortly, when regular monthly drills will be resumed. A few doses of Dr. M. A. Simmons Liver Medicine will do more for a weak stomach than a prolonged course of any other medicine. J. B. Black. CLAIMS AGAINST THE COUNTY.
