Sacred War Relics.
Deputy Sheriff J. F. 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.

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.

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.
