Much of . the credit is due to the persistent aud earnest work of Senator S. G. Mayfield, * * * Don't let the cotton oil mill scheme die. The enterprise is badly needed here, and should be a paying investment for the stockholders. Keep !? * ' hammering at it until success is assured. It is too iuipoitant a matter for us to be indifferent about. A wealthy 1 ady, formerly a residen t of Bennettsville, is to donate to that town a handsome graded school building, of brick and granite. Would , that some of our rich citizensjwould do the same thing for 'Bamberg. Thev can build no better monument rv " to themselves. - * * * The Orangeburg Times and Democrat either wilfully or carelessly .. . misrepresents this paper when it charges us with hurrahing for imperialism and a nti-imperial ism at the same time. This is a charge # which is untrue, and our contemporary ought to have sense enough to know it. The Bamberg Herald does not "claim this water makes it au imperialist and an antl-imperialist at the same time." Another un?| true statement of The Times and Democrat. The "wayfaring man though a fool" ought to be able to understand bow we can commend some ideas of Mr. Bryan's and re ;V ject others and agree with McLau rin where the two differ, yet supporting Bryan against McKinley. How*r'. ever, it seems our contemporary hasn't gumption enough to catch Hi the idea. The Democrat should V stick to the facts and quote us cor? " rectly. We notice that Brother Situs's name is uot appeariug as ediEj tor now, and we feel sure that he is II7- not the author, of the article. Republiean?Coii vent ion. '0: : ' Columbia, S. C., March 20?The State Republican convention met here to-day | to elect four delegates to the National Republican convention. Twelve hours iwere spent in wrangling over the merits of contesting delegations from five counties. . Permanent organization was perfected near midnight. But a score of the 125 delegates were white men, and the temporary and permanent officers were negroes. ?. The faction headed by E. A. Webster controlled the machinery, and the following slate was elected after a stubborn fight: Delegates?E. A. Webster and R. R. Tolbert, R. R. Smalls and E. H. Deas. The t two latter are negroes. Alternates?Abial Lathrop, S. D. Poindexter, R. E. Williams, A. S. Johnston. The convention adopted a platform embracing the principles of the Republican party as set forth at St. Louis in 1896. McKinley's administration was endorsed, and Bryanism and Democracy denounced g as menaces to prosperity. The delegates were instructed to endorse McKinley. No steps were taken towards noruinat ing a ticket for State offices. Cedar Springs. Mr. J. T. O'Neal is going ahead iD earnest to.make these springs a I1 pleasant place of resort, and will % have the grounds in fine shape when ?.- ' the season opens. He has a large f'-' force of hands now at work cutting away the undergrowth and will lay out the grounds in an attractive v . manner. The lumber is being haul ed for the bath house and work on the building will commence this week. The next thing now is a y good road, and the county chain ||&~ gang will do some work on it shortly. Mr. O'Neal will also have a portion of the road repaired at his own expense. He is showing commendable enterprise in this work, and the citizens of the town should, by snbscription, assist in building a good road and bicycle path from n i i.? *1... LU LUt" api Dog's. The mad dog scare is on in many parts of the State, and it would be a . wise thing for our city council to f. rigidly enforce their dog laws. Ramj;>. ; berg has entirely too many dogs in its corporate limits, although many of them went the way of all flesh during the crusade against rheni a few mouths ago. Much good reg? . suited from the action of city council then; let them take up the matter again in the same way and they will earn the gratitude of our citizens generally. Practical Sympathy. Some days ago Mr. S. E. Shaw and four of his children were bitten by a mad dog in Sninter county. Mr. Shaw was bitten in attempting to rescue his children. The citizens of the city of Sumter, knowing that Mr. Shaw was not. able to bear the expenses of a trip to New York, immediately raised a subscription of $400 to defray the expenses of a , trip to Pasteur institute. This is practical sympathy and is only another evidence that there are no better people anywhere than in Sumter. - - -I????? ? Tobacco Culture. Uncle Klihu Mnldrow stopped over it the Baptist parsonage in Suiuter i bo lit two weeks ago, and would not let me go to bed until he had exacted a promise that I would write something for the great and glorious sheet of which he is the able managing editor. I made the promise. Von see 1 am a sort of weak-minded, good-natured fellow, willing to do anything that anybody wants me to do, whether I can do it. or not. It was upon this basis that I made the promise. Now, Uncle Elihu didn't tell me what to write about, and that was where he dropped his cake; but I am going to write about tobacco culture. I have a vague idea that there is a large majority of fools in the business, ana times wny tnov all keep so poor and lean around the inouth. If any one asks m&, "Did you ever plant any tobacco?" I'll say no; it is not necessary to know about a thing in order to write about it. I'm a sort of a preacher, and I've met lots of fellows who had never preached, but who could tell me lx>w it ought to be done. I'm going to work the same racket 011 tobacco planters. So here goes, and I want you all to keep still while I do this piece of telling. j To raise tobacco, you must have I ground to plant it in. s Tobacco positively refuses to grow unless planted in the ground. The better the ground, the more tobacco you will make, provided your guano bill is not ton large. Tobacco will not thrive under too heavy a lien to tin merchant. A lien means too much for the weak spine of the weed to sustain it. The ground ought to be clay and sand and things mixed, with tinsand under the bottom or just over the branch in your neighbor's field. Too much sand over o;? your side makes grit in the weed, and grit wears out the gums, if a fellow happens to have no teeth for chewing. in selecting seed, be careful, if 1 were ? planter, I would plant no plugs of black tobacco. Black tobacco has got licorice in it, together with molasses and other herbs,all of which are liable to get a man out ot humor with his wife and children. In ^planting tobacco, it will be econi omical to split the plugs before put j ting them in the ground. I nevei , could see the use of putting a whole plug in one hill. Split them by all means. The yield will be just as great and the cost less. Besides, by planting plugs one can do away with the hot-beds, and raise tobacco ready for market, all except boxing it, and paying the Government tax. Along about January, the worms have a habit of coming in, and I hear that they pester the farmers amazingly. I don't see why they should, vermifuge can be bought at alb the one-horse stores in the world, including those in China and Japan. A farmer is foolish to suffer with worms when vermifuge is so cheap. (I make no charge for this advice.) When the tobacco is ripe?and you can always tell this by biting off a chew or two?it is sure to bring a good price, provided it is stuck full of little tin tags. Tobacco without tags is no good. These tags are very cheap, aud can be gotten second-band from little boys on the streets. By getting the second-hand tag, one can put an "Old ftover Brand" on any cheap grade of goods, aud seil it at two prices. This would look like cheating, I know; but I am a reformer, and I don't see why a farmer can't get even with the world by cheating in return for be1 " ? *r 1 ?z? ._ u: ing cneaieu. aiy auvu;e iu mux i& to wade in and get the second-hand tags. Iiis cotfee, flour and sugar are all adulterated, and 1 think he may as well catch up with the procession, and become a rascal along with the multitude. Fact is, a real honest man feels mighty lonesome these days, and has no one to run with. That's whv some of 'em go crazy; they just have no where else to go. Now, in the matter of planting smoking tobacco, I don't think it wise to plant the little sacks. These sacks are sometimes very tough when made out of good cloth, and the weed may refuse to break through and grow. Of course, to look at it, one would think that smoking tobacco should be planted in drills; bat this is not so. It should be dropped in hills about a foot and a halt apart, running clean across the field both ways and back. The further it runs in any given ^direction, the longer it will take to come back, and the more tobacco you will make. It: a field of smoking tobacco, fire is very dangerous, and a man should always empty his pockets of matches and pieces of flint and steel before euteriug his field. This is because the weed is very dry and highly combustible. Furthermore, it is not wise to trv to raise tobacco bags in the same field with the smoking to bacco. They easily mix and cross breeds, so that the smoke from one's pipe smells like old rags. Land is plentiful. Therefore plant them in separate fields. Now, let me give some genera! points covering the whole subject. Flow deep. Turn up the soil for at * * ?,>!* , 1 JV_ least eight teet, anu mi in me iurrows with the good hopes you have about a large crop. Don't loaf around the field too much. If you can't work you had better go home. Loafing never made tobacco, and it sets a bad example to the negroes who are playing under the shade of the pines 011 the hedge row. Ami don't cuss any. As a rule, cussing don't pay. I never knew a man to get a round dollar out of cussing. It injures the tobacco too, and causes it to make the teeth black. This is because of the admixture of sulphur that comes up out of a man with the cuss words. See that your mules are well fed and groomed. You need not worry so much about your own eating. The head of your house will look after that, unless you chance to he an old bachelor unfit j to eat or live. Don't buy too heavi| ly of your merchant If you do, i he'll have your tobacco in the fall, and you'll have a case of inflammation of the disposition, with a strong - - . tendency to killing somebody. I must now close?not I because I have exhausted the subject, but because I don't want to say too much at one lime. By and by, after a crop has been made by my rules, I'll write another letter, and tell the rest. [The above article is from the pen of our inimitable friend, I)r. 0. Brown, of Sumter, and was written by him for the Bee Dee Tobacco Journal. We feel sure that our readers will enjoy it as much as we did..

C., Mar. 19?A delightful oyster supper was served to a'pleasant gathering of friends atj Guess's Mall hist Friday evening. The proceeds will go toward canceling a church debt. The Methodist people are great debt contractors, and seem to work best when the burden is heaviest. Indeed, debt is a great Methodist stimulant, usually taken in tablet form, but - some prefer and take other stimulants end invariably in the liquid form. The great redeeming feature of all church sociables, feasts and entertainments is that they are planned by the pure minds of our noble women. Rev. G. Edwin Stokes, pastor of the Methodisl church of this town, has recently delivered some excellent sermons to large congregations. Mr. Stokes is a gospel preacher. Every sermon is good tidings. The Baptist denomination is without a regular pastor. Rev. William B. -Johnson, of Bamberg, will preach here m the afternoon of every third Sunday until a pastor is called. Mr. Johnson made his first visit hist Sunday. A large congregation greeted him and listened to an excellent sermonThe citizens of this community note with pleasure the proposed es tablishment of a special school district and levy of a special tax with which to institute a tirst class graded school system within the town of Bauiberg.

A good school in any town or community is the strongest exponent of true progress. The farmers of this section have their lands almost ready for planting. More fertilizers than usual ? are being used, and probably a greater acreage of cotton will be planted. One of the extensive farmers of this immediate neighborhood has distributed 10 his tenants two hundred and fifty tons of fertilizers. Senator S. G. Mayfield has not yet returned from New York. It is reported that the Senator has procured all necessary capital needed to establish the long talked of cotton facto ry at this place. Your correspondent will have more to say about this next week. Mr. F. V. James, the efficient ageut of the A. 0. L. railroad at this place, was called to his homeiu Cheraw last Friday to attend the funeral of his youngest brother, Dr. T. H. James. Dr. James was only 28 years old, yet he had already won for himself the reputation for being a most excellent physician. DF.K UXTEKZEICHXER. TO THKTUKLIO. Knowing Chamberlain's Cough Kt-medy to be a medicine of great worth and merit and especially valuable for coughs, colds, croup and whooping cough, we will hereafter warrant everv bottle bought of us O and will refund the money to any one who is not satisueu airer using two-thirds of n 25 or 50 cent bottle. It develops that the killing of Governor Goebel of Kentucky, was the result of a deliberate plot, and the assassin was selected by lot, twenty-four white and one black marbles were put in a box and the black marble was to decide who should do the killing. It appears that this program was carried out the night before the shooting. Wo have saved many doctor lolls since we beghn using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in our home. We keep a bottle open all the time and whenever any of my 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. ?1>. S. Mearkle, General -Merchant and Farmer, Matlie, Bedford county, Pa. For sale by all druggists and medicine dealers.
