Smith and Willard Gorton at the Fitting'

well attended. However, the audience
^ were not so well pleased, the entertain*

booked this attraction regret that the
performance was not what it should have
been. It is their purpose to get the best
attractions, and they were assured that

Senator Mayfleld Talks.
Senator Maytield, of" Denmark, a,
has returned from the North and tl)
was in Columbia today. ti)
To a reporter lie stated his ab- ai
sence wits for the purpose of secur- .
ing capital for the cottoii factory it
soon to be erected in Denmark.
He succeeded in his efforts and t(,
says the new enterprise will start (il
with a capital of probably a quarter j
of a million, and he hopes much j
more. j
"The idea,,' said the senator, "is
to use the cottou product of each u
county without letting it go to out- q j
side markets. New York prices
will then prevail."
The people of Bamberg county ^
are enthusiastic over the new mill
and will add to their subscription
no doubt. If they do the county is ''
assured an era of prosperity hereto "
fore unknown.
Senator May field will make the
race for return to the senate, and
will do so along the lines of equal
taxation, a tight with which he has
identified himself for many years of P.
his public life. s
He believes that salaried incomes P
over a fixed amount should be taxed 01
as other incomes.?Columbia Record.

Excitement at Neeees.
Last week some citizens of Neeees were

and the following telegram was
sent to Gov. MeSweeney:
Neecks, March 10. 1
To Governor MeSweeney.
Send us militia to prot-ct women and <
children at this place from the gang (
known as the regulators who have threat- '
ened to kill everybody in town tomor- ]
row. Send tonight sure. i
T. J. Boling, Jr. j
The message did not make clear the na- ,
ture of the trouble or the gravity of the i
situation, but Governor MeSweeney acted j
immediately, determining to take no j
chances. He wired the sheriff of Orange- i
burg county what information he had
and instructed him to proceed at once
to Neeees and see that the proper protec- \
tion is given, reporting fully to him the
* ' rr>\ i ?ir
particulars on ins arrival, me snenu, ,

conveyance, could tret to Neeces in a short *

in Florida Central and Peninsular raiload,

The governor also received the follow- J
ng message from the depot agent: c
Neeces, March 1G. I
To Governor McSweeney: r
A gang who call themselves regulators
mule a raid on T. J. Holing, Jr., and beat

doling and his hands oil' and came back
o the place on Wednesday night and
hreatened everytxHly that lived in this t
dace and cursed out the whole white race t
nd colored race for all sorts of things, r
lid sent down word that they would
ome back and lixusall. So they came
hrough, shooting and hollering, and ran t
lie people from their work, and left word
hat they would be back tomorrow. Advise

SHERIFF DUKES' REI'OltT. 4.
The following is the official report from v
heriff Dukes' office in regard to the re- |j
ent trouble at Neeces, on the Florida
!entral and Peninsular road, which the
tieriff went to investigate at the goveror's
request:
"The sheriff directs me to say that on
eceipt of telegram Friday night he start d
at once for Neeces, S. C., and arrived 01
liere yesterday morning before day. He 0
liiuained there all day and left there last r<
ight and had no trouble whatever. He h
>und out when he got there that a mag- 01
Urate's constable had arrested part of
ie regulators and they had been put
nder bond. The rest had run away. He .
laved at Neeces until last night waiting *J

tat he was defeated by a good man,

I have been so busy with affairs mili- 8*
it that I have not had time to look w
li
ter affairs newspaporial. Of course,
>ing in the capitol city, I paid my re- ^
ects to the ''gentlemen on the hill," all
f whom are candidates for re-election.
I had occasion to visit the adjutant gen- tt
al's office tliis morning, and found the fc
irridors of the capital tilled with negroes, bt
varying degrees of blackness. .It was d<
fr
e convention of South Carolina repub- "
;ans, and I wish William McKinley
uld have been there to have seen the _
BE
ittit. By the way, General Floyd has ji
st returned from a national convention
adjutant generals, and he reports that
e prospects for South Carolina's milita
force are bright. It is likely that in
lly the State will get its share of the na- M
Dual appropriation, amounting to someing
like $30,000. The adjutant general
id his assistant. Col. John D. Frost will Bj
lmediately proceed, as soon as the fund
obtainable, to new-uniform the South ra
irolina troops, arm them with Kragirgensen
rifles, and bag tents and other m
ninmsntc fnr ?*t? pnojunnment. Col.
?' fi
ilie Jones, the commander of the Secid
Infantry, is anxious to take his men
to a summer encampment and school of
struction, and it is to be hoped that he ^
ill be able to do so. n*
The genial colonel, and, without excepju,
all of the "gentlemen on the hill,"
om His Excellecy down, have agreed to
me to Bamberg this summer and parid
pate with B Company, in the ceremo- ^
es incidental to the opening of Cedar cj
)rings. The military commands that I
ive seen are also anxious to come, and if th
w rates can be arranged over the rail- oc
ads, Mr. O'Neal may confidently count *n
i having his opening a big thing. ai
I was up in Fairtield the other day. The ^
?ople there are exceedingly backward in ^
ring farm work. Their soil is clayey, ^
id a heavy rain puts them back two or
ree days. If we could only get a por[>n
of their clay to mix with our sand,
id make with them "an exchange which M
ould be no robbery," what a good thing "
would be. But, then, we have the clay ^
ibsoil, and all that would be necessary til
make our super-sandy soils extra pro- a
active would be the use of the sul?-soil ^
ow?but here, that's another story, which iv
shall have something so say about

iionld take steps to have the town
ut in good sanitary condition at

tough attention is paid to this

Memorial Day.
The executive committee of the
Rivers' Hridge Memorial Association
met last Saturday afternoon
and decided to hold the regular annual
memorial service on Thursday,
April, 20th. Orators for the occasion
were selected, but it was deemed
advisable not to make the names
public until they had accepted the
invitation. As soon as practicable
the speakers of the day will be announced
in this paper. Dinner
will be served on the ground?, and
it is expected that a larger crowd

The seat directly behind her was the ^

THE COTTON OIL MILL.
Meeting Held and Active Canvass
Tor Subscriptions Commenced.
Tiie Kamkkkg IIf.hald has been
working for a cotton oil mill in Bamberg
ever since its present editor
took charge. It seems now that our
efforts are to amount to something at
last. Some weeks ago a commission
was issued to certain gentlemen here,
and last Monday afternoon the matter
took definite shape.
Col. Jno. F. Folk has interested
himself in the matter and had secured
some subscriptions of stock.
A
Last Monday afternoon he succeeded
in getting a meeting of those inter
ested, which was held, in the office
L?f tile Bamberg Banking Co. Mr. II.
J. Brabham was made chairman and
A. \V. Knight secretary.
By request Col. Folk took the
floor and outlined the scheme, giv
ing figures as to what an outfit would
cost, etc. He also offered to put in
his ginnery and grist mill as stock,
the value of same to be agreed upon
by the board of directors.
Maj. llavelook Raves then gave
some figures shewing the profits of
ii u oil mill. His figures showed the
profit on each article produced from
i ton of cotton seed, and convinced
those present that there was money
in the enterprise if properly manag?d.
Several others present also made
remarks as to the advantages our
own would derive from the mill,
ind a motion was carried that a
ommittee of five bo appointed to
solicit subscriptions of stock. Mr.
[I. J. Brabham was made chairman
)f this committee, tlm other nicm ers
being Havelock Eaves, Jtio. F.
Polk, A. VV. Knight and G. Frank (
Bamberg. They have already
jono to work in earnest, and we feel
aire the required amount of stock
rill be raised in a short while. ,
Tuesday morning the committee
tad a conference with Mr. Green, '('presenting
the \ an Winkle Co.,
vho gave them full information as
o the cost of a complete plant, as
veil as running expanses, buildings
iceded, etc. At the next meeting
f the parties interested they will
nake a full report on these matters, v
khich will he of an interesting *

Olar Briefs. 1
Olar, March 17.?Again has the
mall pox scare reached our town. A (
rcond time our trustees have closed {
he public school, as a quarantine
egulation. It was proclaimed to be
mall pox, the genuine article; so
irononneed by Or. F. W. Chitty.
Jpon inquiry, the Doctor positively
enies the statement. He had not
veil seen a single case. Dr. N. F. <
[irkland assured every one that the
hree cases Mere only chicken pox of
he mildest form. About onedayof
ickness in bed, and it was over,
'he great evil done here is the wild
magi nation excited, causing the
topping of our school. 1
It is not a pity that the great

The young lady exhibited retarkable
presence of mind and rare

Olar now owns a manufacturing *
lant. J. B. Jovner & C'o- have esiblished
a shingle mill near town,
11 the Salkehatqhie swamp. It will n
squire ten hands to furnish blocks 0
ltd run the mill, and the capacity f
f the mil! is said to be twenty tliou- (
ittd shingles per day. The shingle
? a superior article. It is nearly I

It is very hard to stand idly l?v and see
ur dear ones sutler while awaiting the "
nival of the doctor. An Albany (N. V.)
airvman called at a drug store there for
doctor to couie and see his child, then '
erv sick with croup. Not finding the
octor in, he left word for him to come at
nee on his return. He also bought a
ottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, (
liieh he hoped would give some relief
ulit the doctor should arrive. In a few ^
ours lie returned, saying the doctor need ^
ot come, as the child was much better. .
he druggist, Mr. Otto Seholz, says the
amily has since recommended Chambertin's
Cough Remedy to their neighbors .
