The change in the dispensary law ^
which turns the profits into the
~ county treasury will materially
strengthen the finances of this county,
and we trust that this, with the
one mill for past indebtedness, will
place our finances 011 a cash basis.
It's a bad plan to get in debt, and 1
we hope Bamberg county will never
. get in,that condition.

It is strange that the legislature
should appropriate $185,000 for the
completion of the State House, give
the colleges what they asked for,
^ even increasing the appropriation
for some, and then refuse the $100,000
for the common schools. It
seems to us that the school term

as they will receive very little, if
auything, from the dispensary.
From observation we should imagine
that the acreage iu South
Caroliua this year will be largely
increased. Wherever we have been
recently we have noticed new lands
being cleared up and fields that have
laid idle for yearsjprepared for cultivation.
Scores of horses and
moles have been sold, and it is the!
evident intention of our farmers to
"make or break" this year. As to
whether more cotton will be planted,
we can't say, but we sincerely hope
Dnring the session of the late
legislature Senator S. G. Mayfield,
who is so well-known and strongly
favorable tc good roads, had passed
a measure which makes each school
ilistrict i.i the county a road district.
L)n petition of two-thirds of the citizens
of any one of these districts a
ipecial tax levy,'uot to exceed two
nills, can be made for the betternent
of the local highways, except
n the special school district of Dennark,
where the levy is made manlatory.
Denmark is Senator Mayleld's
home district, and we undertand
that in*preparing his bill he
abmitted it to the other members

The Gaffney Ledger, in discus1
sing the action of the Senate appropriating
$35,000 for a new dormitory
at Winthrop College, says it
would be interesting to know how
much taxes each one of the thirty
odd Senators who voted for the ap
propriation pays to the support ot
the State government. Our con
temporary is right; it would be fa]
more interesting we presume thai
it imagines, and in a way that woulc
not suit the purposes of The Led
ger, which seems to have a specia
antipathy to Winthrop. For th
information of our thirsting con
temporary we will state that man;
>f the gentlemen who voted for th!
ippropriation are large taxpayers
among the number being Senator
IMayfield, of Bamberg; Manning, o
Sumter; and others we cnulu name
- .
In fact, we know that many mem
bersof the Senate are comparative!
wealthy. The Ledger will have t

, I LOVE HER SO.
BY L. K. BAlfBEBG.
! How much of joy and how much of woe
j Is there in the words, "I lofre her so."
There are heights of bliss from the heavens
drawn;
There are depths ol woe irom tne snauows
horn;
There arc hearts made happy the long
years through;
There are hearts that never a gladness
t knew;
r But into the hearts dyed deepest in woe
Is always the echo, "1 love her so!"
There's a little wife with meek, dark eyes,
Who has a hushand that some men despise,
f. He's a human wreck, hy his friends forgot,
f. And these perjurers say, "Forsake the
sot!"
1 But true to her love is the fragile thing,
* Though weak and worn through suffering,
| And she firmly answers, soft, and low,
"I will not leave him, I love him so !"
y There's a father and mother whose wayf
ward child
y Was lost hy the way and by falsehoods
e detileu.
Yet the snow white dove that left the nest
Held a sacred spot in his parents' breast,
8 And the scarlet stain on his young life cast
r By the tears of the parents grew white at
J last,
And they said God's mercy was sure but
J' slow,
n He will bring 1 ack our boy, "for we love
a hiin so!"
I pity the doctors over there,
With their sinister pale faces and little
J- hair;*
I have guessed the secret locked in their
breast;
A careless oath, God knows the rest!
Knows the heartache hidden from sight,
tC And the pillow wet with his tears at night;
p. Though his lips give never a sigh of woe,
l(y His heart still echoes, "I love her so!'-'
'o
Oh, sad are the words, "I love her so,"
18 Oh, glad are the words, "I love her so."

^ There is no better medicine for the ba
' r bies than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
lis pleasant taste and prompt and effec
nt tual cures make it a favorite with moth
v- ers and small children. It quickly cures
their coughs and colds, preventing pneu
monia or other serious consequences. I
also cures croup and has been used ir
in tens of thousands of case9 without a sin
tie gle failure a9 far as we have been able t<
er learn. It not only cures croup, but wher
given as soon as the croupy cough ap
^ pears, will prevent the attack. In casei
of of whooping cough it liquefies the tougl
ty mucus, making it easier to expectorate
and lessens the severity and frequency o
the paroxysms of coughing thus depriving
that disease of all dangerous consequences
