FINEST LINE of crackers and light bread, assorted roll*, and candies at THE , PARLOR CAFE A MARKET CO. The complaint lias often been made that our merchants are not up-to-date in , the selection of their stocks. Mr. Byrd is an exception. He is a thoroughly progressive merchant and his spring stock of goods in all line9 would do credit to a merchant in a city of treble Bamberg's population. - Slippers! Sandals!!

Magnificent line of spring samples for tailor made clothing at Byrd's. When the little personal notice of Mrs. J. W. O'Giivie was written, we were not aware of the fact that Mr. M. A. Moye was her only brother. This accounts for his name not being mentioned last week. There was no nomination for mayor of Columbia at the primary held in that city last Tuesday. Messrs. W. McB. Sloan and F. S. Earle will be in the second race. A full alderraanic ticket was elected. Don't wait, but get your measure taken at Byrd's for that spring suit.

TApnmsrt nennle believe that their Dro ected cotton mill is in sight. There has >een an encouraging local subscription, nd Monday evening Senator S. G. Mayeld, who has been one of the prime lovers in the enterprise, went North to uterest foreign capital. The Senator will be absent about ten lays, and hopes when he returns to have utficient money behind him.to apply for , charter and complete the capitalization if the company. Held His Cotton to Advantage. Township Commissioner Charles Mcliever, superintendent of Senator S. G. layfield's plantations, is a lucky and fareemg man. He personally cultivates a wo hundred acre farm, and last year aade eight bales of cotton, besides all orts of bread stuffs, forage, etc. Last Monday he sold his cotton to H. C. lice, of Denmark, for 9 cents a pound, le believes in sub-soil plowing, plants denty of Irish potatoes, wheat, corn, etc., ind hopes in time to produce a bale of otton to the acre. This year he wjll )lant sixty acres in cotton, forty acres in vlieat, and the balance in corn and forige crops. Denmark's Good Roads. The Denmark school district has the >est roads in the county, and this is due n a great measure to the scientific knowledge and untiring energy of Township Commissioner Charles McGiever. Durug the late inclement weather, under inaructions from Senators. G. Maytield,he vent out with plows and teams and laid )ff the roads in his township. He was nainly responsible for the good highway low existing between Denmark and Bauilerg, and if his suggestions are followed jut it will become a perfect thoroughfare, riie Ghent's branch road, on which the diain gang is now working, has, thanks ;o his foresight, been transferred from a :>yway hard to travel into a thoroguhfare hat will compare favorably with any in he county. Mnw Work to he Done. Township Commissioner Chas. M'Geivcr is determined to have good roads, and Tuesday last he straightened and laid off the upper end of the road connecting Denmark and the shire town. To-morrow Overseer Sylvester Guess will warn out his hands, and tuey will put that section of this important thoroughfare in thorough repair. Ultimately, if the commissioner and his lieutenants keep on, this township will have the finest roads in the low country. The Worm Turned. Some of the white boys in town were deviling a half-witted negro boy Tuesday night, when the lad lost his temper and pulling out his knife slashed out right and left. In consequence one boy had to have his ear sewed up, and mourns the loss of a pair of dude trousers, while another of the tormentors had his suspenders cut in twain. These sanguinary maneuvers raised the ire of the white "boys and pistols were drawn. At sight of the deadly weapons the negro "took wings," and although two shots were fired at him, he escaped unscathed. * f Charged With a tirave Crime. Tobe Shelton, a negro, ran up on a * criminal snag recently that will perhaps teach liini a little sense. He hails from Barnwell county, and has the racial fond1 ncss for things that are not his own. With , felonious intent he recently entered a house in our mother county where Uncle t Sam distributes his letters. It is a violation of section 5470 of the revised statutes of the United States, and on that charge he was committed to the ; custody of Sheriff Hunter last Saturday, ' for appearance at the next term of the United States Circuit Court, by United States Commissioner E. P. Hammond. Qualified to Teach. At the teachers' examination held on Friday, February 23, at the courthouse, in this city, the following white applicants for certificates to teach had those invaluable documents issued to them : Miss Annie Riley, Denmark,first grade, general average 80 1-0; J..W. Miley, stu- j dent at the Carlisle Fitting School, sec' - - * * * n?/? i _ I oiul grade, class a, general average, iu*; D. W.

B. Daniels, Denmark, second grade, class A, general average 90 1-6; T. J. Baker, Bamberg, second grade, class A, general average ; 89J-; William Holman, Lees, second grade, ' class A, general average 86?. Deficit Asked For. Superintendent of Education Sease has , received a letter from the Comptroller- . General enclosing a blank form to be fill- ? ed out by him, reporting the amount of ; money apportioned in each school district in the county and the deficit, if any, from July 1,1898 to June 30,1899. ' It is expected that the county schools are to get more money from the dispen- < sary fund, so that we can wipe out the < old* scores and start the twentieth century ] on a cash basis. j The County's Rum Business. i I The reports from Bamberg county's 1 four dispensaries for the month of Februarv make the following showing: Bamberg?Consumer's price, $1,696.35; invoice price, $1,349.85; gross profit, $346.50; expenses, $103.12; net profit, $243.38.

People in the Colston district have been I missing cows and shoats from time to time, during the past five j*ears. The disappearance of the bovine and porkine property was a mystery and the losers of , this sort of personal property were in de- 1 spair. t ts?!j 1...11 fnmarl rmrmcaincr I r nuay u unmuc nun L and Saturday the slaughters of the pied * taurus were pinched red handed. A search warrant haying been sworn out before Magistrate Preston McMillan, his constable Julius Jennings visited the cabins of Nelson Williams, Sam Singleton and Cape Grimes, and found in each fresh beef enough to start a meat market. He arrested the three men, they were given a preliminary hearing before Magistrate McMillan, and he committed them to jail. The trio arrived here Sunday afternoon and are now enrolled as star boarders at Sheriff Hunter's hostelry. An Up-to-Bate Magistrate We have too many magistrates in Bamberg county. Two, one here and one at j] Denmark, with jurisdiction all over the county, and regular days for holding ? court in different sections, would be suffi- ft cient. t Some of the magistrates don't have a g case once in three months. Magistrate E. T. LaFitte, at Denmark, is a hustler. His office last year sent 80 per cent, of the convicts to the chain gang, and last month his fines, turned into the county treasurer, J paid not only his own salary but that of his constable as well. * P Mrs. Bishop Dead. h Mrs. Emily Bishop, of Ehrhardt, a sis- P ter of Messrs. Julius, Christian and Henry p McMillan, died last Sunday, aged about t seventy years. The burial took place at the family burying ground last Monday morning, and the funeral services were D conducted by Rev. J. H. Wilson. The a deceased had been in feeble health for ( several years, and her death was not a x surprise. Believes in Pecans. 2 Senator S. G. Mayfield, of Denmark, a believes in pecan groves as a permanent p investment that will eventually net the ? owner a handsome revenue, and he has now laid out a grove of twenty acres, partly planted and partly replanted. r? "I like shade trees," he said when ques- ? tionecl about the grove, "and you get a v combination of the ornamental and the useful in the pecan that is gratifying to 0 fhp nhvsical senses and a very material j] assistance to the pocketbook. j, "The best place for a pecan grove, I be- , lieve, is right around the house, where . you can watch the growth of the trees, i< and the maturing of the nuts when the n trees begin to bear. "What a pity it is that our fathers did not set out pecan and other useful trees 0 years ago. We'd all be enjoying com- " fortable incomes as the result of their f foresight. I believe in planting for posterity." ^ May be Lientenant Colonel Yet. f. Major Havelock Eaves, who wa9 the second man in the late election for Lieu- (] tenant Colonel of the Second regiment, has another chance, and this time, backed by the unanimous support of his own e company, and the endorsement of his a multitude of friends all over the State, ? he will probably land a winner. The election will take place on Satur- P day, March 17, at the armory, between the n hours of twelve meridian and nine p. m. Captain Eaves has appointed the follow- a ing members of the compauy as managers o of election: First Lieutenant William R. ^ Wright, Secretary George Wolsey Sy- ^ monds, and Private Henry F. Free. S Major Eaves has begun an active can- r vass, and the following extract from a letter recently received from Col. Wilie ? .Tones, who was elected to command the h Second, shows in what high esteem he is r held in military circles: Y "The regiment could not select a better officer for Lieutenant Colonel than Major . Eaves. His long service with me in the ( United States Army places me in a posi- i< tion to say that he is a soldier from the f crown of his head to the sole of his foot, and his selection as Lieutenant Colonel would be a great gain to the military of s the State," J ^ A New Resort. Mr. J. T. O'Neal has perfected his plans for the rehabilitation of S "Cedar Springs' and will make it a popular place of resort the coming t summer. He will lay the grounds C out uicely for picnic parties, and ? has already contracted to build a " large bath house and put in appara- c tus to eive the springs patrons hot t as well as cold water baths. Everybody knows how delightfully refreshing the cold baths are, and . Mr, O'Neal, who indulges in a plunge every morning, declaiestlmt "it will make an old inauyouugand j a sick man well." t "I used Kodol Dyspepsia Cure in my family with wonderful results.

Editor The Bamberg Herald: My attention has been called to an article recently published in The Feuai.d, in which it is stated that George J. Johnson, now in jail in Bamberg charged with bigamy, "had just served a sentence;" that immediately on his release in Florence, and before being arrested on the warrant from Bamberg for bigamy, lie was rearrested in Darlington, arid that lie was tried at the recent term of court in Florence for stealing cotton. I submit below a statement by the supervisor, sheriff, and clerk of court of Darlington county, refuting the statement that Johnson has not served a sentence, and that he was not rearrested after being released in Florence before being arrested on the warrant from Bamberg for bigamy. Johnson was tried during the recent term of court at Florence for stealing, or rather for assisting others to steal cotton, but a jury of Florence county declared him "not guilty." These statements are made in the hope that they will counteract any undue prejudice that may have been uroused by the publication of such garbled statements as above referred to against Mr. Johnson. Respectfully, S. C. King. Darltxgtox, S. 0., Mar. J, 1900. To whom it may concern : Our attention having been called to the statement that George Johnson "has served a sentence" in this county, and that le was arrested here after his release in Florence before being arrested on the warrant from Bamberg charging him rvith bigamy, we unhestitatingly prolounce the same false. W. S. King, County Supervisor. G. P. Scarborough, Sheriff. < W. Albert Parrott, Clerk of Court. [The Bamberg Herald is not responlible for the statement complained of in J he above communications. The Flor:nce Times printed it and we copied it rom that paper. Mr. King is the attorley for Johnson, and this accounts for lis" great interest in the matter. These \ ommunications should have been sent to ] lie Florence Times, but, as Mr. Johnson is | oon to be tried here for bigamy, we pub- , ish them in order that he may make the >est showing possible.?Ed.
