W. J. Talbert for Congress, but we hardly think it will materialize. He has made a | good representative, and will no doubt be re-elected without opposition. * * * The worst feature of the legisla? tive session just ended was refusing an appropriation to the common schools. If the colleges had not been so liberally supported?the appropriation for some being increased ?it would not be so bad. But these )() solons spent the people's money for the completion of the State House and other luxuries while the schools had to go lacking. We hope every man who opposed the appropriation will be defeated, and we rather think the people will be heard from this summer. The Bamberg^Herald does not intend to boom any candidate for county offices. Those who insert their announcements in this paper will only receive at our hands the bare mention of their candidacy. We shall not lay ourselves open to the charge of favoring one candidate above another, and therefore will not publish long articles advocating any man where there are no issues iuvolyed. Where there are principles at stake, this paper can be depended upon to have opinions of its own and to speak in terms so plain that there can be no possible doubt as to its position. *** .In selecting our county officials this year every section should be given representation. Of course, f any man has a right to run for office, and the voters can elect whomsoever they want, but all the plums should I not go to any one section of the county. All of us should be interested in the welfare of our county, r , and the offices should|be distributed arouud in order that everyone may feel that all the people have a voice in the management of affairs. This " mj'ATv/ln/l elint nnf ftnu o?n I ib 11u(> lui^uuch uv ouuv vmv muj uv... didate, but is an honest expression, written with a desire to keep down sectionalism in our county management. 5 The Orangeburg Times and Democrat refers to us a question asked by the Greenwood Journal as to the difference between Senator Jno. L. McLaurin's views and those of Hon. W. J. Bryan, the contention beiDg that they cannot both be Democrats, as Bryan is opposed to imperialism orexpausion, while McLaurin favors it. We will in this case, pursue the time-honored custom of answering" the question by asking another: Has the Democratic party yet incorporated into its platform any deliverance in reference to the Philippine question? Until the National (Jonf vention takes such action, hasn't pR"-V. " ' any man the right to advocate anything he pleases? Fact is, we can't see where Bryan has any more right or authority to make a platform for the Democratic party than any other i'. Democrat If all persons now reg istered on Democratic cHtb rolls are to be read out of the party because To , they believe the United States should establish a stable government in the Phillippines, then there are many people who are not Democrats. It is very hard to stand idly I>y and see our dear ones suffer while awaiting the arrival of the doctor. An Albany (X. Y.) - dairyman called at a drug store there for a doctor to come and see his child, then very sick with croup. Not finding the doctor in, lie left word for him to come at once on his return. He also bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which he hoped would give some relict until the doctor should arrive. In a few iiours he returned, saying the doctor need not come, as the child was much better. The druggist, Mr. Otto Scholz, savs the family has since recommended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to their neighbors and friends until he has a constant demand for it from that part of the country.

Bamberg Pharmacy. fek. - .o IN TROUBLE AO A IN. Our Old Friend 0. W. M. Williams Gets Mixed l'p With a Cheek and Uncle Sain Has llim Behind the Bars. Our old friend G. W. M. Williams, one-time attorney at law, alltime a violator of it, convicted felon, all around swindler, fugitive from justice, scamp and rogue of the most pronounced type, is again in trouble, but this time Uncle Sam is the prosecutor anu it's more than likely that Williams will have given to him a long time in prison for re flection and it is to be hoped for reformation. Wednesday morning, March 1, Deputy U. 8. Marshal Whitely, who had been to Bullock county on a still-hunt for the wily Gilbert, came hack to Augusta with the notorious prisoner securely handcuffed. lie was charged this.time with the forgery of the name of'G. W. M. Wilkin son to a check drawn to that gentleman's order, and getting it cashed. In addition to this, with violation of section 3892 of the revised statutes of the United States, and the penalty for the latter, if he is found guilty, is a fine of not more than $500, or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both, at the discretion of the court The story of Williams's latest piece of rascality is as follows: For some time past he has been living at the Commercial Hotel, in Augusta, and being in his usual state of inipeeuniosity had run up a heavy bill. Some time before his arrest he went one day to the postoflice for his mail, and the clerk confused by the similarity of names, handed iiiui the letter add res seil to G. W. M. Wilkinson. Williams opened it and to his evident joy found a check for $21 therein. He promptly endorsed the name G. W. M. Wilkinson on its h.-iok and tendered it to the proprie tor of the Commercial hotel as a partial payment of the bill he owed that hostelry. The hotel man en dorsed the check, presented it. at the bank, it passed to his credit, and everything moved smoothly until it came back to the maker, Mr. W. J. Wrens, of Wrens, Ga. He and Mr. Wilkinson commuicated with each other, and the latter gentleman declared that he had never gotten the letter, which enclosed the check, out of the mail nor had he endorsed it. The postal authorities put an inspector on the case, and he fixed the dual crime upon Gilbert W. M, Williams. A warrant was sworn out for the rascal's arrest, but before it could be served, Williams skipped to Rocky Ford, Bullock county. A few days before the arrest, and while a vain hunt was being made for him, the inspector came across a jug of whiskey in the Southern Express office, addressed to the man wanted. When the pack age reached its destination a deputy marshal had his eye upon it, aud Williams was nabbed. With his usual brazen effrontery he reeled off a story that would make it appear that he had come by the check legitimately, but Commissioner George Calvin, before whom he was taken, wasn't to be caught by such spurious chaff. He issued snbpcenas for all of the witnesses, and Thursday afternoon Williams was given a preliminary hearing. He managed his own case with his well known cunningness, and subjected each witness to a sharp cross-examination. Quite a number of his acquaintances and former friends from this State were present ? ?. i i ?i and listened to iue lesuuiunv. Mr. W. J. Wren, of Wrens, Ga., who was the first witness sworn, testified that he had mailed the letter containing the check on or about February 9th, to G. W, Wilkinson, Augusta, Ga., giving no street and number in address. Identified the check which was produced in court. Mr. Wren said he was not positive about having mailed the letter himself, but that this clerk, Paul F. I Brown, had mailed it, as he handles j all of his correspondence and usually mails letters. The defendant wanted Mr. Brown present and (Joinmission er Calvin issued a subpoeua for Mr. Brown. Mr. J. M. Pettyjohn was the next witness. Said he is in the hotel business, running the Commercial Hotel. Said the defendant was boarding with him, and that he had had several business transactions with him. Identified check. Said Mr. Williams (defendant) had asked him to apply check to "his account. Check was endorsed by Williams. Did not see him write endorsement. Credited account with it and deposi ted it in the National Exchange Bank. At time thought the name on check was Williams, but found it Wilkinson. Had 110 conversation with Williams about it. Postoftlce Inspector F. O. O'Brien ideutified check. Said it was given him by Mr. Wilkinson last Tuesday. Said he carried it to Mr. Pettyjohn, who said it had been given him by Mr. Williams. Asked .Mr. Williams about the check. He said he got it from one James Lyons, of South Carolina. Said he gave Mr. Lyons ?10 and accepted the balance as a debt of another friend whose name Mr. O'Brien could not recall. Could not account for Lyons's whereabouts. Williams said he (Lyons) was about to go to Florida, but could not say to what place. Mr. Williams said he would assist me in finding Mr. Lyons, but. didn't do so. I had an engagement with Mr. Williams for the next day, but he failed to keep it, and left the city." Mr. C. M. Miller, of the National Exchange Bank, testified to having handled the check, saying it had been forwarded to the Bank of Louisville, Ga., for collection. Mr. G. W. Wilkinson, who resides at 054 Reynolds, said lie had had j business dealings with Mr. Wren. Had written him for some money which he owed him and was expecting it. Did not receive it, but saw check after it had been returned to ! him by Mr. Wren, having been cashled. Said the endorsement was not his own. Had no conversation with the defeudant relative to the check. Said he never calls at general delivery for mail, but that it goes to bis street and number. , At the con elusion of Mr. Wilkin- , son's testimony Williams was re- | manded to jail and the hearing con , tinned until Friday morning. At j the jail Williams was given a bath, , as tiie regulations of the institution , require. While bathing his elotning was carefully searched. At ten ( o'clock the next morning the hearing was resumed. For about an hour , before the hearing began Williams was in conference with Major Black, and the latter was present during . 1 i I ill' nearmg. The only witness examined was Mr. Paul F. P?rown, bookkeeper for Wren & Phillips, ac Wrens. Mr. Brown testified that he had filled out the check in question to Mr. Wilkinson and saw it placed in an envelope and that he had deposited it in the postofliee at Wrens. He said that I13 had filled out two checks at the same time that he had the one for Wilkinson. One was lor Arrington Pros, of Augusta,and the other for Bates, Kingstive & Co., of Atlanta. He produced the checks. They were examined by Major Black closely. After examining the checks, Maj. J. (J. C. Black said that he had that morning received a message from Williams asking him to defend him. He had not yet had time to inquire into th^ case closely and knew little about it. He asked that the hearing lie postponed until Saturday at ten o'clock, when lie would have had ample opportunity for conferring further with Williams and also Williams would have had the time by then to confer with his witnesses. I>t is very evident that Williams's one time friend Major Black was this time convinced that the old rascal was in a tight box for, when ten o'clock arrived Saturday morning Williams's "important witnesses" from South Carolina had not materialized. At the hour appointed there had assembled in Commissioner Calvin's oflice in the federal building a few interested spectators, the reporters, Commissioner Calvin, Postoffice Inspector O'Brien and Postmaster Shillings. The defendant, G. W. M. Williams, was not in the r<om. Commissioner Calvin waited until 10:30 and announced that there would probably be no hearing unless the witnesses of the defense came into court. He asked if anyone present appeared as a wit ness and received no affirmative re ply. In company with two reporters Commissioner Calvin repaired to Farmer Fisher's office and communicated by telephone with the defend ant, who is in the Richmond county jail. Williams, in reply to the commissioner's question about his witnesses, stated that if he was allowed to go to Maj. Black's office he could then communicate with his witnesses, that he could bring them to the court room and the trial could proceed. Mr. Calvin told him that it was a matter entirely with Deputy Whitely, that he could call and go with him (the defendant) if he so desired, but that it would be purely a matter of courtesy on bis part. Deputy Whitely declined to go. Commissioner Calvin then announced the trial would be concluded Monday morning at ten o'clock, !i.MAAnnn nnf n ACPxiO !%"? WllilfSS'Ca KH 11U tT 1 l/ll tootOj U11U VUHV Williams must take the consequences. Maj. Black has positively declined to defend Williams and the old rascal has been unable to procure the services of auy attorney. He will, therefore, probably appear as a barrister in his own behaif. The end came Tuesday morning, when Williams, after making a long statement to the court, denying any guilty intent, and sticking to his original story that he had cashed the check for one "dames Lyons," who is "now in Florida," was bound over by the commissioner in the sum of $300 for his appearance at the next term of the United States t court. Down to the last moment the wily fellow claimed that the whole thing was a mistake, that he could produce witnesses from South Carolina to prove it, etc., but one J. C. Dynes, of Bullock county, Ga., was the only one to appear 111 his behalf, and he could only say that there was such a person as "James Lyons." So, deserted by all, the prisoner went back to his prison cell, and Mr. Pettyjohn, the proprietor of the Commercial hotel, who had cashed the Wilkinson check for Williams, told the reporters after the hearing that at various times he had cashed other checks for Williams, that since the hatter's arrest, they had begun to come back to him protested, and that he had sworn out a warrant for Wiili mis and would prosecute him in the State courts on the charge of cheating and swindling. Mr. Petty jvihn says that Williams swindled hiui our. of tit least $150 by bogus checks and drafts. (t. W. M. Williams, .Jr., tin* wretched man's son, appears to bo i lie only friend the old rogue has left. When he heard Tuesday that no lawyer in Augusta would undertake his father's defence he said: u\fy father has not treate.i me exactly right, but he's my father after all, and now that all his former legal friends have deserted him, I'll do what I ean for him. I shall leave tomorrow to consult with him. When he is brought to trial I will appear as his attorney." TO THE PUBLIC.

It's clothes burned off. Its ear was burned into a crisp. It died after lingering two days. Recently a colored woman near Govan, while working in the field, had her clothes ignited. She also died from it's effects. The large number of children in this locality that have died from burns the last two months has been very great. It is a solemn warning to parents! Last week II. B.

City council at its meeting on Tuesday evening last, all the meml>eis and his Honor Mavor IngJis being present, elected Albert P. Gray, marshal to succeed L. C. Price, resigned. There were seven applicants for the position, but at the last moment, one of these George Wolsey Symonds, withdrew in favor of the man elected. i There was no electioneering, but j 011 a motion made by councilman C. : II.
