The Aiken Journal and Review
has unearthed another "man." This
time it is the "man behind the handshake,"
and he promises to be very
much in evidence this fej?mer.

We glory in Air. Talbert's efforts
to block pension legislation. That's
right, Uncle Jas?if they will pension
the bummers and camp followers,
make them do it in a legal manner.

Who is responsible for the free
rural delivery in South Carolina? It
seems that most of our representatives
in congress are claiming the
O O
credit of it. Maybe we'll find out
this summer.
* *

Hon. W. J. Talbert was one of the
South Carolina delegation in congress
who did not sign the telegram
of congratulation to Gen. Cronje, a
Boer commander, and he showed his
good sense by not doing so. fie is
attending to his business, and not
" .
slopping over about something that
.. was none of his affair.

That every town which amounts to
anything should have a free graded
I - - school is a proposition that needs no
argument. We have repeatedly in
the columns of this paper discussed
the necessity of a first-class graded
school in Bamberg, and there is no
?
nse threshing old straw. It is the
pnrpose of this article only to notify
our people that an election will be
held in the near fufure to determine
whether an extra tax shall be levied
for school purposes, and inform them
that if they want to kill the town
no surer method can be found than
voting against the levy. Ic is the
duty of every citizen wno wants to
see Bamberg move forward in the
march of progress to vote for the
tax uo matter whether he has children
to educate or not.
OlTR POSITION.
The Orangeburg Times and Democrat
devotes two thirds of its edi|
**
torial space this week to a pessimistic
grumble over the political stand
made by The Bamberg Herald.
It can't understand how this paper
can support Bryan and applaud McLauriu
at the same time, and piteously
begs for enlightment. It
charges this paper with "dodging
the question." You are wrong,
Brother Sims. We never dodge, but
stand to the rack no matter what
^ the result.
We, living in a salubrious climate,
and, touing our system daily by
copious draughts of artesian water,
tinners "nnt dark-lv" nor. "as in
a looking glass" upside down. No one
. has ever questioned cur Democracy.
But, the Democracy f fifty years
ago is not the Democracy of today.
We never stick in the ruts.
We are afraid that our esteemed contemporary
does. We are not the
sort of Democrat that howls continually
about "Jefferson, Jackson and
the constitution of our forefathers." j
We believe in going ahead.
On many questions we agree with
Mr. Bryan. He is an honorable
j
man, and we admire his steadfastness
to principle. But we are not a
"one string player" on the political
fiddle, and there is where we have
the advautage of Brother Sims. He
sticks to antiquated, arclneic ideas,
and we believe in twentieth century
thought aud work. That's our only
difference, and if he cau'tconsistentlv
assimilate and support the politi*"
cal views of both McLanrin and
Bryan, and at the same time, maintain
his party fealty, then we advise
fliim to take a week off, go out into
the boundless forests that surround
Oramreburff, eet the "Constitution
, W WW
of our Fathers," "Political Works
of Jefferson, and Jackson," "The
Life and Letters of William Jennings
Bryan," and "The Speeches of
John Lowndes McLaurin," study
each carefully and see if lie can't
reconcile the diverse and sometimes
opposing views of these distinguished
gentlemen to lit an up-to-date
Democracy that means progress.
We'll pray for the misguided brother
and trust that eventually he will
see the error of his ways, adopt the
true faith and do penance.
We have saved many doctor lulls since
we begau using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy ill our home. We keep a bottle
open all the time and whenever any of mv
family or myself begin to catch cold we
* begin to use the Cough Remedy, and as a
result we never have to send away foi a
doctor bill, for Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy never fails to cure. It is certainly
a medicine of great merit and worth.

FARMERS AND THEIR FARMS.
What a Staff Correspondent of The
Herald Saw and Heard Along
the County's Highways
and Byways.
.Texny, S. C.. Mar. 14. 11)00.
If you were to draw a circle around tin
city of Baml>erg forty miles in diameter
its outer edge would touch the lowest ex
t.rnmities of the eountv and at ldaces it!
perimeter would del>ouch into the eountii:
of Orangeburg, Hampton ami Barnwell
It is within this circle comprising an are;
of 1*20 square miles that I propose to travc
during the next three or four montInkeeping
my eyes and ears open, and jot
ting down for the benefit of The Bam
heuc. Herald readers matters of inter
est. It must not be misunderstood fron
this introduction that I am a candidate
on the contrary, as my paper gets fo
each candidate's card inserted in its col
umns, and Mr. Knight needs money ii
his business, I shall try with all the clo
quence and persuasive powers at in
command to induce as many of our pat
riotic and self-denying citizens as I cai
to "stand" for office, and incidentally t
fork over their little three old America]
dollars. This idea is entirely my owi
and I'm rather proud of it. At the sam
time I shall get as many new subscriber
as possible to the only live newspaper ii
the county, and remind some of the oh
ones that there is a small amount due th
publisher, for which I shall be very gla<
to give them a receipt provided they rc
ciprocate with the cash equivalent. Pe<
pie en route who should see a good look
ing man, wearing spectacles and dresse
in a suit that has seen better days (that'
to remind delinquents that our requestor
back dues is no idle dream) and dri\
ing a high stepping black marc geared t
a buckboard, will know that it is Tn
Bamberg Herald's traveling correspoj
dent, and will "govern themselvesaccorc
inglyas they say in the legal doci
ments.

preliminary spin Last Wednesday aftei
noon. My destination was Cope, and
was in search of "fodder" for the afon
said equine, there being a marked scarcit
of that article of horse food in Bamber*
which should not be, as there are man
nearby farmers who have plenty to span
They can always find sale for it in th
sliire town at good prices. They can als
sell eggs, butter, chickens, corn an
almost any of their farm products. M
companion on this preliminary drive w?
Mr. Edward A. Hunt, a newspaper ma
from the North, who is down here for hi
health, and already finds himself mue
benefitted by the delightful climate an
superb artesian water to be found alwa)
on tap at Bamberg county's capital cit;
Southern customs and manners are a
new to Mr. Hunt, and as lie's a keen ol
server and a fellow of ready wit hiscrit
icisms are sometimes very amusing. Fc
instance, when we were picking our wa
cautiously among the quagmires and bo
holes that render the New Bridge roac
after you enter the swamp on the Ban
berg side a disgrace to any civilized con
munity, and, reaching a long stretch c
fordable water halted for a moment lx
fore taking a plunge that sometimes float
horse and buggy, he looked down at th
watery vista and exclaimed:
"I wish I had my camera along, I'd sna

but a road,' and send it to one of my p?
pers, with a description of the perilou
passage we have just made of the nxu
holes r
Some day I hope to be able to drive Mi
Hunt over that same road, when it ha
been repaired and scientifically piked an
drained. But that is something of th
future. I only mention the circumstanc
in order to convince our people that wha
we need, need badly, and must have i
good roads, not only through the Edist
swamp, but all over the county.
Thursday morning, bright and earh
(that bright is only a figure of speech fo
it was as dark, lowering, chilly and diss
greeable a day as I ever saw) a solitar
buckboard driver (that's me) might hav
been and was seen spinning along th
road leading to Rivers' Bridge. It is no
a particularly good thoroughfare, althoug!
like well-fattened side meat it has streak
of fat and streaks of lean. By that I meai
there are places where the road is in fair
ly good shape, that's the lean. There ar
long stretches of bad, in many places ver
bad road, that's the fat. I passed the en
trance to the Cedar Springs road withou
meeting a solitary traveller. In the pin
grove, just beyond was Mr. J. T. O'Neal
I'm glad that he has the enterprise and far
sightedness to contemplate fixing up tha
delightful resort, and hope none of hi
plans will miscarry. A modern laid ou
park, with the addition of baths, hot an<
cold, ought to attract lots of Bambergian
in search of rest and recreation durini
the hot summer months, and I'll warran
Mr. O'Neal will find that his investijien
is a paying one if he will only see to i
that there is a bicycle path from Bamber
to the springs, and above all there is ;
| good road.
I I noticed as I skirted the edge of tin
pine grove surrounding Mr. O'Neal':
house that the ground had been "hurnet
off," and this fact suggested the little ser
mon I'm about to preach: Farmer
' don't burn your land. It injures the land
it injures the timber growth, and injure:
your pocket book. If you must burn uj
the brush and trash cut the former pu
with one of these Yankee "bill-hooks'
and throw it into piles, then grub up tin
roots, and your waste land, wasted In
an unsightly and useless undergrowth i:
destroyed. It would be better though t<
rake up the pine needles and dead leaves
| and during the idle winter months car
them to your stable lot. They make fin*
compost. But don't burn your land. I
injures the soil, it injures timber that i:
now becoming scarce, and it converts int<
a practically useless ash heap lots of veg
etable growth that will help to fertilize
and enrich your farms.
I noticed that our farmers are putting
in more wheat this year. That's good
There is a noticeable scarcity of forag<
crops, of the minor sort, which are goot
stock food, and that's bad. We don't pay
enough attention to stock raising, and this
is the ideal country for it. A farmer don'i
require much capital to start in. Ho car
begin with a "harridick" heifer, and b)
grading up from this bovine foundation
in time irt't together a good herd of cows
with that best of milch blood?the Jersey
?strong enough in their veins to make
them saleable and therefore profitable.
There is lots of so-called "waste land" in
the county that can be fenced and utilized
for pasturage. Don't have any waste
land. Senator Mayticld. who is a model
1 farmer, fences more or less land every
year. All of his tenants keep a cow of
bis selection. He grades tip the native
stock, and makes it pay. With good pasturage
and a feed of cotton seed hulls a
cow can lie kept in good condition, and
stock intended for the butcher can be fattened.
If your land is worn out, don't
' allow it to layby and grow up in noxious
........1.. IM01O it in iii?k tool nitxlars?
W ITU?. 1 liilil 41 u> | ...
' re-fertilize the poverty-stricken soil, ami
' raise more hogs. which will fatten on the
" peas and pimlars.
I There were many bridges to cross between
Bamberg and Jenny's. Some of
them were in fairly good condition, but
the majority were poorly built and some
were positively dangerous to cross, especially
at night. This should not be. Our
II bridges should not be cheap makeshifts,
' but substantial and well-built structures.
r One thing notable along the road, was
the number of mail boxes tacked up on
11 trees, gate posts, etc. This means that
the people are readers, and keep abreast
v of the times. With daily or every-otherday
mail delivered right at your door, as
11 will be done under Congressman Stokes's
" rural mail delivery lull, the farmers should,
11 as the sporting people say, "get a gait on
11 them," and forge to the front as progrese
sive and intensive agriculturists. They
* should ditch their land more thoroughly
11 and above all institute sub-soil plowing.
" Try a sandy patch with a clay foundation
e with the sub-soil plow, thoroughly pulver^
ize the ground and harrow it well. You'll
be astonished at the results.
There is much sand in the roads, but it
is only on the surface. There's clay at a
^ depth varying from two to at the most
s eight inches. Clay and sand admixed
;t makes a good road, if it is piked, rolled
'* and thoroughly drained 03* side uucues.
0 When }'ou get good roads, and easy com-!
E munication to railroad points, don't begin
l" to cut off }-our timber. There has been a
sinful waste in this direction of late }*ears,
l" and if you keep on slaughtering the trees
there'll soon be a timber famine. Any
lt sort of fencing is better than none. The
e old worm rail fence will do where you
a have plent)- of timber and plenty of time.
r" Barbed wire makes the ideal fence, how- j
1 ever, but when \-ou put it up, be sure and j
- run a guard rail along the top. It will
J" save J'our stock from injury, and the law
requires- it.
)' In many places I found the road a mere
L'- wagon trail with cultivated land on either
e side. When a road is laid out it should
0 be to the full width required l>3' law?
d twenty feet. Dr. S. D. M. Guess, of Denv
mark, declares thirty feet, and has promisis
ed that when roads are run through his
n property the commissioners are privileged
is to make them of that width,
h There are several good farmers along
d the road noticeably .Mr. Mack Iia}*, Mr.E.
s C. Bruce, the Kcurse's and others. By the
>' way, Mr. Bruce is the original "terrace
11 man" in the low country, and he has saved
>- hundreds, yea thousands of acres from
i- destruction through gully washing. Al,r
though there are man}' good farmers
y through that section I noticed that the
?T maioritv of them are allowing their yard
b fences, houses and outbuildings to fall ini
to decay. Mineral paint is cheap and it
i- preserves the wood. Not only that, but it
?f enhances the value of your property if
- your buildings are painted, and last, but
s not least, a tastefully painted building is
c much more pleasing to the eye, than a
rain-battered, dingy structure, with Hap- J
P ping shutters and loose boards and ram-,
r> shackled piazzas.
The Sunnv South Tobacco Factory is
r ?
iS an evidence of what can be done intobacl?
co in this country. Messrs. Young and
Bottoms are making a success of their
r- smoking tobacco, and a grocery drummer
s whom I met a Jenny assured me that the
d "Ehrhardt" brand was the best tobacco
c for its price on the market to-day. What
e these gentlemen want to do is to push
J their product. They showed me samples
s of their tobacco which were equal to the
0 best grades 011 the market to-day.
The Kearses are all good farmers, so
also is Magistrate J. C. Breeland, who has
r his land all under fence, raises pork to
l* sell?in fact sells twice as much as he uses,
Y and don't feed his porkers corn. He feeds
e them 011 ground nuts and peas and they
e fatten well. He has begun to raise cattle,
* and with plenty of good pasturage on
land that most farmers allow to lie idle,
s finds that the industry pays.
11 I rode up to the little cemetery on the
memorial grounds and said a short prayer
e over the seventeen gallant Confederates
Y who lie buried there. They were all
" Georgians?my native State?and my eyes
1 moistened when I went back thirty-five
e years and thought of the gallant defense
' they made for the cause that was eventunl"
ly lost. This little handful of brave men,
1 a skeleton brigade, composed of the 32d
s and 47th Georgia Infantry, the 5th Re1
serves and Earle's Battery, of four guns

11 Kiel Miennan s lull amn v^uijw, i/n wut
s fateful third of February, 180o. Col.
- Geo. P. Harrison, Jr., of the 33d Georgia
1 Infantry commanded the brigade. He
* was a hruve man but a poor tactician. He
1 destroyed the bridges and the Yankees
' were obliged to take to tjie swamps ami
1 wade through water which in many places
reached to their arm pits. There was 110
? place in the swamp where they could
s form a line of battle, but there are lots of
* dry hummocks where a small party of
" Confederates protected in ritle pits could
s have poured a devastating lire into the
' blue coated ranks and checked the ads
vance. Instead of taking this advantage
1 Col. Harrison entrenched the hill on the
1 northern side of the river swamp, planted
his battery to command the causeway
? and the Yankees crossing the river by a
temporary bridge built a mile to the west
* were on his flank before he knew it. Ilan *
dieapped as they were the Confederates
' did gallant service. They lost seventeen
1 men, but the Yankees loss must have been
L> four times that nunil>er. 31 any men were
1 killed and buried in the swamp and a
s year ago eighteen Federal graves were
} opened on the upland, and the bones re"
moved to the National Cemetery at Beaufort.
The Rivers' Bridge Memorial Associa
tion was organized a few years after the
war, with $ 100 in the treasury, to mark
the graves of our dead. There were only
' a few patriotic men, led by (-apt. J. W.
Jenny, the present secretary of the asso*
ciation, interested in the movement. At
^ the present time the association numbers
1 seventy-five members, there have been as
' many as 2 ,.">00 persons present at some of
their memorial meetings, and this year,
%
on memorial day, it is expected that the
attendance at the exercises will he even
larger. Dr. A. P. Montague will he the
orator of the day, he will he followed by
Senator S. G. Maytield, and he in turn

Denmark Doings.
Denmark, March 12.?Mr. W. L.
Cailiff, formerly a merchant of Norway,
Orangeburg County, has dis
posed of his store and stock of goods
at that place and will in the near
future begin business at Denmark.
Mr. Cailiff has recently purchased
from Dr. IS. D. M. Guess a beautiful
square on Palmetto Avenue, upon
which he will commence to build as
soon as possible a large store and
livery stable. One enterprise seems
[quite a sulliciency for the average
modern business man, but Mr. Cailiff
will manage both, and will succeed.
He will be a valuable citizen,
a help to the town and community,
for he is public spirited and thrifty.
He is thrice welcome to Denmark.
The Spoke and Handle Factory is
running on full time and yet it is
impossible to fill all orders promptly.
The demand for spokes and handles
manufactured by this company have
been very great, far beyond the actual
capacity of the plant. The
quality of material and workmauship
oannotj be surpassed by any like
enterprise in the United States. Such
a comparison might seem high-sound
ing to the readers of this statement,
but where can be found the hickory
superior to that of South Carolina
swamps and where is the workmanship
better than that of South Carolina
mechanics, especially, when they
have at their convenience machinery
invented and perfected by the great
American Yankee? I fear the word
"Yankee" will soon become provin
cial and forgotten by the people to
whom it was first applied, for the
New Englander and his factories
are coming Southward. It seems
that Denmark may soon become a
"Yankee town," certainly so, if she
succeeds in getting ber $400,000
cotton factory. How strange that
the industries, enterprises can be
snatched, so to speak, from the
hands of New England aud placed
into the lap of the progressive South.
When will the turbines on the old
historic Merrimac cease to turnr
The* hum of machinery along the
banks of this grand old river soon
to stop? The idea seems preposterous,
yet it is not unusual to see in
magazines head lines like these:
"How may the agricultural lands of
New England be reclaimed?"
The streets and public crossings
of Denmark have been greatly improved
by the present town council,
it is not often *hat a town can boast
of having her best business men at
the head of affairs, but the public
can see it and appreciate it when
such an accident does occur. An
office is a great trust. I don't mean
the kind of trust that has been recently
disturbing our farmer friends
and maybe the whole world, but
| that expression of confidence mani,
fested by the people in favor of any
[individual which makes that fortunate
one a benefactor. The man
that doesn't succeed in his own business
should not ask the people to
express their confidence or to bestow
upon him duties which demand of
him peculiar business tact. I heard
an influential man of a sister county
say not niauy days ago that he would
never vote again for a man that got
drunk or drank to an excess. Suppose
every intelligent man in South Car'olina
thought that way. Would the
politicians meet the issue? Very
likely, even if they had to bring to
life the once famous social organi
zation known as "Good Templars."
