Thursday, March 22,1900.
Denmark is to have her large cotton
mill, and we congratulate her
citizens on their efforts. 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

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

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.

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.

Denmark, S. 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

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

years old, yet he had already won for
himself the reputation for being a
most excellent physician.

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.

S Fainting
I Spells
Always indicate a weak heart. They
osuaJfy follow palpitation or fluttering,
shortness of breath, irregular or intermittent
pulse. When the heart muscles
are ovrworked or exhausted theye
relax, the flow of blood to the brain
is interrupted, and unconsciousness
follows. Should relaxation continue
completely for two or three minutes,
sudden death is the result The surest
and best remedy for overworked and
debilitated hearts is
I DR. MILES'
Heart Ctire.
"My heart trouble began several
years ago with palpitatioELshortness of
orcath and smothering. Then I began
to have fainting spells and would tall
over on the street or wherever I happened
to l.>e. 1 was unable to attend
to my business and dare not venture
away froin home. The doctors failed
to help we, and teeing an advertisement
of Dr. Miles' Heart Cure I
bought a bottle. The first few doses
sloped the fainting spells and in a
tew weeks my heart was working all
right." Esek Cowh,
