His stock is larger than ever before, and f on Can sure* ' ' ly l>esuited from the immense assortment. The town council will please accept the hearty thanks of this paper for the crossing on Main Street at Mr. H. C. w Folk's store. It is a much-needed improvement, and we are sure pedestrians appreciate it. y Considerable cotton has been sold here during the last two weeks. Those of our farmers who held their cotton made money by so doing. No doubt the farmers of Bamberg county are in better financial condition now than for many years past. While in Columbia last Thursday we had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Ya. R. Capers, formerly^ resident of Bamberg, and he showed his interest in his acquaint ances here by telling us that The Bambebo Herald was to him the most inter ^ esting-of all his exchanges. We have received a private note from Mr. S. H. Saunders, in which he asks us . to kindly thank his Bamberg friends, through this paper, for their splendid efforts in saving his residence from burning the night of Col. Counts's fire. He \ appreciates their kindness very much in- j deed.

G. Smith will move his family ' to Orangeburg to-morrow, as he finds it imoracticable to reside in Bamberg and keep up with the large amount ot preliminary work necessary to get the new mill ready to run. We all regret to have * them leave, and the best of good wishes from our people attend them to their new home. The cement sidewalk in front of the Mayflower Inn and the Bamberg Banking Company has been finished, and is a wonderful improvement. Would that some more of our citizens would get public-spirited enough to put down good sidewalks in front of their places of business. Such action wouid be much ap* . predated by pedestrians.

Governor McSweeney received a telegram last Tuesday stating that smallpox was prevalent two miles south of the ancient town of Midway. The matter was referred to the State 6oard of Health for investigation. Imitation is the sincerest kind of flattery, and we are glad to tie able to teach some of our contemporaries a little about the newspaper business. None of our ideas are patented, friends, so go right ahead borrowing. Representative J. B. Black voted for the wide tire bill until it came up for a third reading. He then voted against it for the reason that the bill had been simply amended to death. Its efficiency was thereby destroyed, and the house killed the bill for this reason. An examination of persons purposing to teach next season in the schools of Bamlierg county will lie held to-morrow (Friday), at thecourthouse in this city. Those who do not successfully pass the examination will not be granted certificates, therefore it is important that every one aspiring to teach should be present. The editor of our contemporary up the road seems to lie something of a half rate man. He wanted to do job printing at "half' our prices some time ago and last month offered to do the county adh,;0 x.oor "half rates.*' We Y CI 1UI liiiiC JVM* WW www. wouldn't be surprised if he were to offer to take the Auditor's office at "half rate." I Jim Quattlebaum says advertising in The Bamberg Herald surely pays, and that you had better not advertise anything for sale in this paper unless you are prepared to sell it. A little local in last week's issue called attention to the faci that Frank Bamberg had just received a car of genuine Kentucky mules, j Last Monday night Jim told us they had j only one mule left out of the car load. Candidates for county offices have already begun to announce their candidacy in the newspapers in some counties, but they appear to be bashful here. We hear of a great many possible candidates, however, and it is very likely that there will be plenty of material to select fiom. If you intend to run for office, you will want to insert your announcement in The ?amberg Herald in order to let the people know you are a candidate, as no other paper reaches the people of this county so well as The Herald. Our term9 will be strictly cash in advance to any and everyliody, and we will not deviate from thi? rule. Uoing to Make Things Hum. Some of the enterprising citizens of Denmark?there are several there?declare that they are going to make things hum "in the old town" and the new one also. They already have a flouring mill, a ginnery and cotton press, a spoke and handle factory, a bottling works, two carriage and wagon factories, a steam grist mill, and a manufactory of agricultural implements. Not satisfied with having conquered these industrial worlds they are reaching out, like our old warlike friend Alexander, for other worlds to subdue. .They are going to build a tram road to the lumber districts surrounding the town, several new dwelling houses are going up, and, with superb railroad facilities at their command, they intend to make their town a thriving city. Dr. Elwell Drops Dead. Dr. S. P. H. Elwell, a prominent member of the South Carolina Conference, and pastor of the Methodist church in Bamberg several years ago, died suddenly in Columbia last Saturday afternoon whiie sitting in a barber shop waiting to be shaved. Dr. Elwell was stationed at Spring Street in Charleston this year, and had gone to Columbia to deliver an anniversary sermon to' a lodge of Knights ol Pythias. He arrived about noon and in the afternoon about four o'clock went tc the barber shop. He was sitting quietly awaiting his turn when the barber heard a sound as if some one were choking, and turning saw that ^something was the mat terwith Dr. Elwell. He sprang to his sid< at once and a doctor was summoned, bul the noble old preacher had received his summons, and death came almost instant ly. Appoplexy* was the cause, and h< died peacefully and without a struggle. The body was at once taken charge ol by friends, and was carried to Oharlestor Sunday morning. Dr. Elwell had many friends in Bam berg, and our people feel a sense of per sonal loss. He leaves a widow and thre< children, one daughter being the wife o Rev. G. E. Stokes, pastor of the Metho dist church at Denmark. New Advertisements. G. Frank Bamberg?Taking Care o Money. , D. Dowling?Diamonds are Plentiful Jno. F. Folk?Conquering Fire.

Perjury Case in Court. The case of Jim Thomas, a saddle-colored negro, charged with perjury, was held in Magistrate Hay's court, on Friday last. Theprosecu| tor in the case was Magistrate Eugene T. i^aFitte, of Denmark, and he asked for a continuance on the ground that a material witness for the State was absent. Attorney J. Pinckney Matheny represented the defense and he vigorously contended for an immediate trial. Both at torneys made eloquent speeches for their respective sides of the case, and the rough rafters in the Magistrate's court room simply "rang" I with their eloquence, Magistrate Ray continued the case until Wednesday, accepting Thomas's own recognizance for his appearance. A white man. Mr. J. C. Matthews, appeared as the voluntary bondsman and friend of the accused. The present prosecution grew out of a case heard on December 27 in Magistrate LaFitte's court, in which it was charged Jim Thomas commit ted perjury. Jas. Talbert Reed, auother African, was on trial. Thomas was a witness and it is claimed he swore falsely. In the course of hie address to the court, Magistrate LaFitte made a remark which Mr, Matthews thought reflected upon his integrity as a man. He called the Magistrate-lawyer down, and intimated that the matter could be settled out of court. "Do you mean that as a threat, sir?" demanded Mr. LaFitte fiercely, "No, sir! I do not make threats/1 was Mr. Matthews's answer Magistrate LaFitte glowered, but when Magistrate Ray had rendered his decision he approached Mr, Matthews and apologized and "war's grisly front" was smoothed down. The case came to a focus yesterterday. Three witnesses, Charlh Odorn, Wes. Dowling, and Willie Baxter swore positively that Thomaf had confessed to them that he "had sworn a lie" in a previous trial in Magistrate LaFitte's court, and, although Lawyer Matheny made 8 stubborn fight for his client, th< magistrate decided against him and required the defendant to give bone ill the sum of $300 for his appearance at court.

Johnson, a white man, wai putin jail lure last Monday on i warrant issued by Magistrate La Fitte, charging him with bigamy He waited a preliminary hearing and will be tried at the April tern of court. Johnson lived in this county las year, and while here married a wid ow named Mrs. Martha Hutson. H . afterwards deserted her and wen back to Darlington county, wher it is said he has a wife and thre children. His Bamberg count wife swore out a warrant, and las {Saturday Magistrate LaFitte's con stable, Mr. Preston Sandifer, wen to Darlington and brought Johnsoi here Monday and turned him ove . to the Sheriff. It seems that Johnson has bee in trouble over there, and we cli the following from the Florenc Times in reference to the case: "George Johnson, who was trie ' here at the last term of court fo -* ? l-~ t-:n iii fvmiMo ncrnir ?> 11*?41 I lig UUHUU, 4.0 ill K1 VM V1W ' lie was released here, but it is sal , that he was taken up iu Darlingto immediately on his release, and hu just served a sentence.

Welsh will go to Ban i berg to defend him." ? Negro Fiend Lynched. On Monday morning of last week f negro named Will Burt attempted to on 1 rage the wife of Mr. C. L. Weeks. T1 affair occurred about six miles north-ea ' of Aiken, and the negro attempted to a ~ sault Mrs. Weeks while her husband w f away from home. She fought him fui - ously, and resisted him successfully, i though in the struggle he choked her ai tore her clothes and finally attempted kill her with a knife, cutting an ugly ga ^ across her throat, fortunately not ve deep. Her screams caused a negro wl was working in a field near by to come her rescue, upon whose approach the v lain fled. y The news of the dastardly outra g quickly spread and a party immediate started iu pursuit. A reward of $100 w 0 offered for his arrest, and the chase w j kept up until last Friday, when he w e captured near Ninety-Six, in Greenwo i- county. He was taken in charge b; ir posse numbering 250 men, who brou^ js him back to Aiken county. Soon af ;e they crossed the line, al>out five o'clc je Saturday morning, he was hanged tc ie tree and his body riddled with bulh ft rni._ 1. u-uo onnf1nr>t^il flllietlv. 1 1 lie lviicuuig n M it is said the posse was determined a not even the officers of the law coi have saved him had he been in their c tody.

William Jennings Bryan spoke ii Columbia last Thursday to a crowd num bering between six and eight thousam people. Tin* speaking occurred on tin State House grounds, the stand bcin; erected 011 the south side of the Stati ! House. It is useless to say that the speed was a fine one. It was along politica lines, and was a strong arraignment o trusts and the Republican policy of impe rialism. However, we cannot attempt 1 synopsis here. Mr. Bryan's personal appearance i: much like the pictures of him published and he speaks in a free and easy manner often with his hands in his pockets, ant makes few gestures. He is not a humor ous speaker, and evidently does not be lieve in telling funny stories to keep i crowd interested. He goes at his subjec in an earnest and direct way, and his fev jokes always illustrate a point in his ar ; gument. From Columbia he went to Charleston where he spoke in the Auditorium tin same evening. This city is the strong 1 hold of the gold men in this State, bu . Bryan must have made many converts, i we are to judge from the Charlestoi papers, both of which by the way liav< ' been opposed to him. 1 Bamberg Graded School.

The lion or falls not undeservedly upon hin: and no one could have been selecte better fitted to fulfill the many an 3 sometimes onerous duties that wil 4 devolve upon the commissioner. Mr. Crum was born near Den mark April 5, 18(54, and his boy hood days were spent at his father' ! farm, where he did his share of tb 1 work, not forgetting to indulge 1 t those hardy games and sports whic gives the country-bred boy sturd e muscles and a clear and health t inind. He attended at first a littl e country school, near his father H house, but as he grew older sper severul terms as a student at tl: k Denmark High School, in which ii stitution he has always taken j. lively interest, a9 he has in the gei H eral cause of education all over tl r Stata?. Thus was Mr. Cram's earl life spent, with for a while a brie q interlude when he and his broth< p engaged in the merchandising bus ness. On December 26th, 1882, he wi ^ married to Miss Lizzie Milhous, wl r has borne him three children, a boys, aged twelve, ten and seve j years respectively. His married lij u has been in every respect a hapj ^ one, for Mr. Crum is intensely d< , mestic'in his tastes and when h ' busiuess and political duties gh him surcease from labor he can I ^ found in the bosom of his famil n For a man whose educational advai ie tages have been no greater than h jp Mr. Crum is a splendidly iufornn , man.

I possesses a fine library, subscrib ^ liberally for magazines and new a m lt_ papers, and intellectually is on i ie equal with men whose ad van tag st have been ten times greater than 1 s_ own. ^ Mr. Crum made his first ent] ri_. into politics in 18S8, wheu he w sent from what was then Barnwe 1(j county as a delegate to the Sta to democratic convention. He has a sh tended nearly every one that h ry since been held. His active aggre* 1G iveness as a political talker ai to worker attracted the attention his people and in 1891 he was ele( ed to fill the vacancy on the legisl ge tive delegation of old Barnwe jy caused by the death of Hon.

The Alba Heywood Company ' which will be seen here at the Carlisle Fitting School hall next Saturday evening, February 24th, is making an extended tour through the ' South and receiving the hearty enL dorsement of the Southern critics. We herein quote the following from the San Antonio (Tex.) Daily Ex' press: "Alba Heywood and his company was greeted last night by a large audience. The performance was in every respect most pleasing. The e vein of humor, which was the chara acteristic feature of most of the [ numbers, was a happy hit and kept " the audience in a roar during the entire evening. "Mr. Heywood excels as a charac L* * ter actor, while his pleasant voice and stage presence added much to 1 the pleasing effects. "As a dramatic reader he takes ' rank with the best to be seen on the c stage or lyceum platform. He does not depend upon mere tricks of voice or vocal flip-flaps for effect. He reads his lines correctly, smoothly and effectively.- His intonation, his r inflections, his pause, and his con h ception of theauthor's meaning, was as nearly faultless as the dramatic -* power which he brought to bear to e emphasize the sentiment and intent of the lilies. * "This was especially notable in b his first character election 'St. Peter ^ at the Gate.' But Mr. Hey wood is d not merely an entertainer, he is are" markable character delineator, and he was exceedingly accommodating iu responding to encores, which were '* so numerous as to greatly lengthen s the program. After appearing in ie eccentric characters and singing bal11 ladps, he would devote a little time h to narrating funny stories, which .V convulsed the audience. He would )' have been a whole show within him'e self. Mr. Heywood was well sup's ported by Gnstave Ullrich, 'cellist. who did some very brilliant work, ie and Miss Gertrude Monroe whose viol'.n solos were played with consuu uiate skill, good expression, and won enthusiastic encores. le "Miss Beatrice Carpenter, the contralto, susuiiucu iu-1 iiivei creditably. Iler voice has an ex r quisite quality. The numbers wert l' all bright and pleasing and wen carried out without the slightest 18 darg. In fact, it was an evening ol 10 great good humor and everybody H went home thoroughly pleased." >n Tickets for the entertainment aw fc now on sale at the store of Thos >v Black, and a large audience will un doubtedly attend.
