The weather prophets say we are going
to have a late spring, and it certainly
feels that way now. We have a touch of
the New York blizzard this week.
Town taxes are due and payable next
Monday. The l>ooks will remain open

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.

work necessary to get the new mill

* 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

at "half' our prices some time ago and
last month offered to do the county adh,;0

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

Last Friday night, about eleve
t o'clock, the house of George Kears
- a colored man who works at Bar
1 berg's stables, was burned. It w;
a situated out near the colored Baj

structure. It is not known how tl

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.

Arrested for Bigamy.
Geo. 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:

' Denmark on a charge of bigam

1 children, it is said, here, and whe
1 he ran away to escape trial for tfc
cotton stealing charge, he is said 1
* have taken another family at Det

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^

Bryan in Colmnbia.
Hon. 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.

i The New Liquor Commissioner.
I Hon. Henry Hayne Crum, recent
f ly elected by the legislature as Liquo
Commissioner for the State of Soutl
y Carolina, under the amended am
rearranged dispensary law, is a na
tive of this county, and, at the tim
j. of his election, one of its represent
r atives in the legislature. 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. He is an omniverous read
aud keeps himself well posted on tl
current events of the day, hotli
his own country and abroad. 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. S,

as time 6ince, was for a time Chairm

The Alba Heywood Company

an extended tour through the

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."
