The house lias done a wise thing
in adopting the biennial sessions '
idea. For this much let the legis- ^
lature receive the commendation of
the tax payers. I

The Evening Post has undertaken :
to reform municipal politics in the
citv of Charleston, and has com- i
Sfv* v ** %
menced on the police force. We I
hope it will succeed, but that newspaper
has a large contract on its .
hands. i

We are glad that the wide tire bill <
_ t- 1 4-1... I
Hits at iasi* pitsaeu tuc oniitic, auu
hope to see it adopted by the House.
Senator May field spoke in favor of j
the bill while it was uuder discus- j
siou. The use of wide tires will <
materially help the roads in this (
! section and we cordially commend J
the speech and vote of our Senator
on this question. ]
The idea of good roads is a grow- j
ing one, and it gets much stronger ,
each year. Newspapers, officials, and j
law-makers seem to have realized I
the necessity of better highways, J
and we believe in a few years from *
now the public roads of South Car- j
. olina will compare favorably with
any State in the Union. Let the
good work go on. J
At its last meeting the Board of |
-County Commissioners paid out 1
$101 for the services of "road over- j
seers." The actual return to the *
f county in competent services for ]
this outlay would be represented by i
the fractional part of a dollar. To 1
keep step with other States in the '
march for good roads, we must re- J
form our whole system of road i
building and road making, and above '
all do awav wifrh the "overseer." 1
Sg---. whose pay is out of all proportion J
|1? to the service he renders.
Judge Buchanan has received
some rather harsh criticism from ]
fe : the newspapers of the State on ac- }
count of his having lectured the
I? jury in the Meares case for not i
v agreeing upon a verdict. The judge 1
was exactly right, and any man who
has had any experience in the jury 1
|p|' room will be of the same opinion.
Of course the fault is with the sysv
tem to some extent after all. MajoriB
ly verdicts should be lawful, and "
we hope the legislature will enact 1
" such a law. As it is now one prejudic&l
and stubborn man can put 1
- + . the State to the expense of a new
P trial, and maybe in the end de- 1
feat justice. 1

Our friends *in the lower part of r
k;- . the county have had very poor mail
facilities for some time past, aud ]

endeavoring to help them. To this j

- s
pondence With Congressman Tal- f
bert, who is willing and anxions to |
v . use his best efforts to have a new t

work hard to get it for them. We 1
hope they will do this without delay i
for the present inconveuieuce and t
delay should not be tolerated i
longer. We shall be glad to confer
with those interested, and promise t
them our co operation and assist- 1
ance in.every possible way.

Major Havelock Eaves is a young
man, and he has all of the enthusi- ,
asm and push of youth In another r
column will be found an interview
with him by a representative of this N
paper on the subject of a cotton 1
seed oil mill for Bamberg. This is r
a matter which has been given care- I
ful study by Major Eaves, a#d he
speaks, therefore, more or less by 1
the card. We see no reason to doubt
his facts and figures nor to question v
his conclusions. There are many r
cotton seeU oil mills in South Oaro
lina and they all pay and are ail in- t
ducement for the farmers to market t
their staple product where one is
situated. It follows as consequence 1
that one would pav in Bamberg, and J

The Mule and Its Master.
This is not oue of iEsop's Fables, j
.nit just a plain, unvarnished tale of
i mule?a young, untamed, lierv,
stubborn, determined mule?aud
:hat other anonioly, which only the
Sunny South produces in its fulV '
perfection?the mule's master?a 4
genuine niule-hreaking darkey. a
Daily these two give performances
11 Major Hays's stock yard, and as
rhere is always a large and deeply c
interested audience in attendance, c
the Major is seriously considering .
the idea of charging a price of ail- 1
mission to these equine-assiniue
neuronic seances.
Saturday morning the darkey c
tackled a Miiall dun mule that had 1
more'of the devil in its whiteish 1
yes, more destructive force in its *
lore legs and a more deadly aim in 1
its hinder ones, than falls totiie usual
lot of these humble but exceedingly *
useful creatures which "have neither 1
boast of ancestry nor hope of pes- (
terity." It was purposed to "break" 1
I his particular mule to harness be- (
side a very sedate old horse in a
double wagon, but His Mules hip
was broken before the darkey?with
the assistance of a half dozen volun J
tcers?got hint geared up, and there- '
in lies the tale.
As a preliminary the darkey and
his volunteers chased the mule into c
a box stall; then a lasso was thrown
deftly over its head and tightened *
about nose and neck, whereat 1
the mule lashed out fore and aft, J
sending splintered wood in alldirec
fions. But. the rone held fast, the 1
1 Q |
stable door was thrown open and '
with a stinging whip urging it behind
and the choking rope dragging
it before, they managed to get it to
the front gate aud pulled its nose
down against the palings, with a
stent line twisted about its upper
lip. Then they began putting on
the gear, and the circus commenced.
Such rearing, and kicking, and
bucking, and plunging. Twice the
mule climbed the fence, and tore off
half the paling?, and thev had only
succeeded in scattering the crowd a
half dozen times und buckling on
collar aud hames, It took four men
to get the bit in the critter's mouth,
and this emblem of man's power
somewhat tamed its fiery spirit.
There was a revival of devili'shness,
however, when they endeavored to
buckle on the backhand, and the
mule was dragged and driven backto
the stable and urged into a stall.
(
Then, Mr. Ed. Hays passed the con- j
fining rope through an aperture in j
the stable wall and the mule's nose
was pulled up to the other side of
the planks. It was the critter's last !
frantic struggle, and heels and hoofs
struck out in all directions. Otice it.
seemed as though it was about to '
climb through the roof, and the next
minute its fore feet splintered* half
the boards on that part of the wall 1
fronting it Several times it leaped
the stall partition on either side, but
tbe darkey, dodging and squirming
about among those beating hoofsand
crashing heels, finally got the band
i" on/1 u rrlo/1 a limit u>Piif lin
U1 pittl/Cj **%* %m ? jfrom.the
crowd?the mule was at ^
last harnessed.
It hung ita head, and had a depressed
and conquered look when j
they led it out to the wagon, and it ^
Dffered no further resistance- When |
geared in place beside the sober, old (
iiorse, it sighed deeply and dejectedly.
Man's might?a darkey's dar
ing had reduced the mettlesome t
wide to moderation's mournful (
mood, and when the word was given j
it trotred off as though it had been *
worked in harness all its life.
"That mule won't give lis any *
more trouble. He's broke?clean J
jroke!" was the Major's positive }
Jeclaration, and the ciowd, disappointed
at the easy victory, melted
quickly away. ^

BUILD AN OIL MILL.
t Will Pay Biff Dividends, and Benefit
the Farmer, the Merchant, and
the City Generally.
"It is astonishing to me," said
dajor Havelock Eaves yesterday,
why some of our nionied men who
ire looking for a good, safe investnent
that will pay big dividends
ion't pool their issues and build a
?otton seed oil mill here."
"It is a good investment then, is
t, Major?" asked The Bamberg
Herald representative.
"I should say it was," was the
juick reply. "As an evidence, go
nto the market to day and endeavor
o buy second hand machinery for
;uch a mill. You'll find little,
f any, for sale, because the demand
'or new machinery is so great, that
;he manufacturers working night j
md day can't keep up with their
>rders. Did you ever hear of an oil
liill suspending or demanding a re-1
jeiver, or anything of that sort?"
T don't know that I ever did."
"Of course you didn't. They pay
?rom start to finish, and if you want
:o buy one already established you'il
lave to lay down a good round sum
.or it."
"How much capital would be required
to build an oil mill, Major?"
"To erect buildings and put in an
ip-to-date plant for a mill of say
;wenty tons daily capacity, which
vould be about the needs of Banilerg,
it would require an investment
)f say $25,000. It would not only
lay big dividends, but it would benefit
the town more than any equal
unount of outlay that I can think
)f. We will take the farmer to bejin
with. He has his eotton picked,
*.arts it to a neighboring gin, has it
ginned, and the seed is dumped into
ihe wagon with the bale of cotton
)n top. Thus loaded he drives
aome, takes out the bale of cotton
ind shovels his seed into a house,
ander a house, on the piazza into a
l;noeked-up shelter^ or any other old
place, reloads with his bale of cotion
and carries it to the nearest
aiarket town. He has choice of several,
and may come here or go to
Barnwell, Olar, Cope, Ehrhardt,
Glovan or Denmark. Later on he
oads up his seed. At every loading
tnd unloading, mind you, there is
more or less waste. We will say
ihat he brings it here. He sells it
it the highest market price, and
*oes home again. Mayhap though,
le wants his seed ground into meal,
in that case he takes an exchange
;icket and when the meal ?s ready for
ielivery comes here again and carts
t home. That's four trips he has
made to market one bale of cotton
ind get the seed meal for fertilizing
lis next year's crop. Now, if there
?vas an oil mill here he would do
:he whole business in o..e trip.
With a load of seed cotton he could
irive direct from the field to town,
lave his cotton ginned in a superior
manner, sell it right on the spot,
tnd either dispose of his seed or
>um' IimoL- thA miittl t hp s-inip ihiv "
"That certainly would be a saving
jo the farmer."
"Now let us see how it would ben*
jfit the merchants, and incidentally
' *
ihe commerce and prosperity of the
vhole town. The farmer would not
je slow to take advantage of the fniilities
I have just enumerated. Instead
of taking his cotton to one of
i half dozen markets he would nat
arally bring it here, where he could
jet the quickest anu most advantageous
returns for his product, and
tSamberg would recover her lost
irestige as a cotton market. , lu
1890 there were 16,000 bales of eoton
shipped from Bamberg, and that
vas before we had the cotton mill,
vhlch annually purchases and conlumes
about 2,500 bales. This year
lie total sales of oottou iu Bauiherg
vill not exceed 7,500 bales. In ten
rears the balance of our purchase
las been diverted to other neirby
liarkets. With an oil mill iu dperition
here, all this cotton will be
liverted back to our city, and the
irea of the territory druined by
is would lie extended*. That means
t greatly increased mercantile busiiess,
and a help to everybody."
"It is reasonable to believe this."
"Now we come down to the payng
prospects of the mill. Under
iresent conditions a man brings a
on of seed here. It is purchased
. c ? *u
)Y a rep resell lauvtr ui uue ui 1,11c
iil mills, and lie makes at least a
irofit of $1.50 a ton on each ton he
mrciiases. '.the railroad company
eceives a freightage of $1.10 a ton
o carry the seed to the mill. When
he meal comes back there is anothr
$1 GO to pay?a total of $4.20
>ut of every ton of seed eaten up
n the middleman's profit, a profit
hat goes neither to the farmer nor
o the oil mill. Now if this prolit
an be suved to a mill right here on
he ground, it, in itself would make
he enterprise a big money winner,
or the profit on an output of tweuy
tons a day would be $84, and that
would eiiable the mill to pay a prety
big dividend on a capital of
>25,000. But the oil mills elsewhere
make a big profit, outside of
his $4.20 a ton that goes to the
niddleman, and one here could do
s well. Then again, an up-to-date
il mill will be fitted with the most
uodern ginning machinery, which
will turn o^it many more pounds of
int cotton to the one hundred
(ounds of seed, than by the oidinary
ountry gin. Thus you see that
verybody wouia derive a oeneiic
ruin the null. The enterprising
iieu who erect it would reap rich
ividends 011 their in vestment, the
armer would get a better price for
lis cotton and make a great saving
a wear and tear of wagons and
nules, the meichants would sell
lore goods, employment would be
iven to more people, and Icau coneive
of no investment that would
lake a richer return than a cotton
eed oil mill."
"As presented by you, Major, it
ertainly looks alluring."
"And I have given you only facts.
Jvery up-to-date and progressive
jwn has its cotton seed oil mill and
bey all pay. There is no reason
rhy Bamberg should not be as large
place as dewberry, Sumter and
ther towns in the State. All that
is necessarv to set the boom booming
is for our monied men to put
out their money. There are some
who hold hack from fresh investments
because past ones have not
paid. That's a very impolitic
and unbusiness-like proceeding. If

double again and set four in
operation. They can't "all prove
failures. One day we'll get winners
and ail the money lo3t in previous
ventures willwcome back tons. I
am talking now simply as a citizen
who wants to see his town forge to
the front. I haven't any axe to
grind, and no money to invest in
such an enterprise. If I uid have
the money, I should keep' my own
counsel and build the mill. That's
the way I feel about it, and I've
studied the matter pretty carefully."
I want to let the people who suffer

Mrs. Dukes, who is young and
buxom, admits that she has left her
husband. "I got tired of having to
work to help support him," she said,
"and so 1 just quit. He wants the
baby, but I won't give her up. His
clothes and his old bed and sewing
machine he can have."
When released she went to Medlin's
house in company with Magistrate
Kennedy to get together her
husband's clothes, which she put in
a sack and hung on the yard fence,

STORY OF A SLAVE.
To be bound hand and' foot for
vears by the chains of disease is
the worst form of slavery. George
D. Williams, of Manchester, Mich,
tells how such asiave was made free.
He says: My wife has been so help- 1
less for five years that she never <
turned over in bed alone. After using
two bottles of Electric Bitters,
she is wonderfully improved and is
able to do her own work. This su- ]
preme remedy for female diseases
quickly cures nervousness, sleepless- 1
ness, melancholy, headache, back- !
ache, fainting and dizzy spells.
This miracle wprking medicine is a ?
Godsend to weak, sickly, and run i
down people. Every bottle guaranteed.

REMARKABLE RESCUE.
Mrs. Michael Curtain Plainheld,
111., makes the statement that she
caught cold, which settled on her
lungs; she was treated for a month
hv her family physician, but grew
worse. He told her she was a hopeless
victim of consumption and that
no medicine could cure her. Her
druggist suggested Dr. King's New
Discovery for Consumption ; she
bought a bottle and to her delight
found herself benefitted from first
dose. She continued its use and after
taking six bottles found herself
sound and well; now does her own
housework, and is as well as she ever
was.?Free trial bottles of this

Pres. Medlin was arrested by
Deputy Sheriff J. Felder Hunter
Sunday night, at the depot, just as
the up train pulled in, 011 a warrant
issued by Magistrate Ray, charging
him with being about to abscond
with the wife and eighteen-day-old
baby of Abraham Dukes, a deaf
mute, formerly employed at the cotton
mill. The prisoner was locked
up in jail and Monday morning Mrs.
Dukes was arrested. On Thursday
last a lot of household goods, the
joint property of Medlin and Mrs.
Dukes, were shippeji to Augusta by
the former, and it is said, that the
pair contemplated begining life together
there.
The whole matter was amicably
adjusted Monday, through the intervention
of Magistrate J. C. Kennerly,
of Cope, The woman agreed to return
to her husband his clothing, a
mattress, and a sewing machine, the
two latter articles having been already
shipped to Augusta and he 011
his part decided to let Mrs. Dukes
"go her route." Medlin was also
released trom custody.
According to his story, he, sometime
since, employed the Dukes
woman to do his house keeping, and
look after his four children, the
mother of three of which, his
second wife, is now living apart
from him. "I reckon" said he in
discussing the matter, "that I had a
perfect right to hire her or any
other woman, and as long as I paid
her for her services no one had any
right to complain. When she and '
her husband busted un I went to inv

Editor Bayne writes from Washing
to the Augusta Herald as
follows: ''Col. Talbert seems to
stand pretty well. He has just been
selected as the chairman of his State
delegation, and by virtue thereof a
member of the national committee of
his party. I have frequently notic
ed that he was in his seat when not
another member of the South C'aro
lina or Georgia delegates was present
in the House, and if eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty there is
a bargain counter tag on Talbert."
