Mrs. W. Gilraore Simms, of Barnwell,
recently sold seven bales of cotton in
Boston for fourteen cents per pound
Some years ago she procured a few seei
from some choice kind of cotton raisci
in Mississippi, and by planting and re
planting in her garden finally savrt
enough seed to raise the seven bales. Tin
cotton was a long siaple of silky fleece
If our farmers would take up the idea o
raising cotton of better staple we believi
it would pay. There is always a goo<
r demand for fine cotton goods which can

The work of the Graded School is progressing
finely, and the enrollment is
much larger than last year. Our citizens
should vote the tax to support the school,
and we feel sure they will do so.
We are glad to see that the town council
is having some of the ditches around
town cleaned out. Money spent on the
streets and ditches is well spent if the
work is of a permanent character.
Spring is rapidly approaching, and
some steps should be taken by the town
authorities to put the town in good sanifiimlitimi
Tn thi? meantime e\'er\'

Sickness may result from neglect
of this.

Bad Koads.
Our attention has again been called to
the well-nigh impassable condition of the
Cannon's Bridge road. Business men
here say that people who want to
come to Bamberg to trade cannot do
so, consequently the business goes elsewhere.
AVe have not personally inspected
this highway, but we feel sure that its
condition is not overdrawn when it is
characterized as almost impassable, and
it should be repaired at once. It may be
argued that it is too wet now to do permanent
work, but we submit that even
temporary repairs would better the condition
of this important thorougfare. Let
it be repaired immediately.
knights of Pythias.
| An interesting convention of Bamberg
1 lodge \va> held last Monday evening, and
' we regret that more of thebrethren were
1 not present. Important matters were
? discussed and acted upon, after which
- Mr. J. Folder Hunter was given the rank
f of Knight in good shape. Mr. Hunter
u now realizes that he who wears his spurs
1 must win them. Old members are apply
ing for reinstatement, and the future
looks bright for Pythianisin in Bamberg.
Musical Entertainment.
A musical entertainment will l?e given
at the Carlisle Fitting School chapel, on
Wednesday evening, April 11th. The
proceeds will go towards paying'for a
new piano purchased for the school, and
the patronage of all our people is earnestly

arranged, and those attend will get the
full worth of their money. The admission
is 15 cents, and refresments will be
served a^fer the conclusion of the program.

Wot a Big Verdict.
The trial of the case of Penitentiary i
Guard Watts, who brought a suit against ;
the South Bound Railroad Company for <
$10,000 damages for injuries sustained (
from a fall, \nto the company's cut ;
through Arsenal hill in Columbia, was j
concluded in Barnwell on Saturday even- 1
iug. The jury rendered a verdict for the
plaintiff, awarding him damages in the ]
sum of $7,000. The railroad will doubt- <
less appeal the case. The plaintiff was j
represented by Attorney General Bel- ]
linger and Col. P. H. Nelson of Columbia
and the railroad by General Counsel W. '
H. Lylesand S. G*Mayfield, Esq. I
More Telephones. (
The Secretary of State Friday issued a <
commission to the Independent Tele- j
phone company of South Carolina, the
principal place of business of which will 1
be Branchville. The corporators are C. i
W. Garris, of Bamberg, E. M. Mixson, of j
Branchville, T. L. Pearlstine, of Elirhardt, ^
I. A. Sauls, of Smoaks and Jos. Tobias,
of Branchville. The company proposes *
to construct telephone lines from Branch- i
ville to Smoaks and on to Lodge, from ,
Branchville. to Elirhardt and from
Branchville to St. George. The capital (
stock is to be $1,000. This will be an- 5
other step toward the linking of the coun- i
ties of the State together with indepen- j
dent anti-trust telephone lines.

Quarterly Conference. <
The second quarterly conference for *
Bamberg charge convened in the Meth- j
odist church last Saturday morning, Pre- j
siding Elder H. B. Browne in the chair.
The pastor reported seven members re- 1
ceived and six removed by certificate to J
other charges, that peace and harmony i
prevailed, and that congregations had >
been encouraging. Prayernieeting improving
in attendance and in interest. 1
The stewards reported $200 collected for i
the support of the ministry, divided as ,
follows: Pastor, $170; presiding elder, !
$30. Collections for other objects as follows
: Repairs on parsonage, $50.75; ]

ference, with L. N. Bellinger and W. D. '
Rhoad, alternates. Presiding Elder i
Brown preached an interesting and instructive
sermon at 11 o'clock Sunday '
morning, which was heard by a fairly
good congregation, notwithstanding the
very disagreeable morning.
White Man in Penitentiary.
Sunday afternoon Stuckey, the Spar- ,
tanburg merchant, who was convicted of
manslaughter and sentenced to ten years
in the penitentiary, presented himself at
the prison office, handed over his commitment
and announced that he was
ready to enter upon the service of his
sentence. He was taken in, shaved up
and given a striped suit. The supreme
court last week decided Stuckey's appeal
case against him, and there was nothing
for him to do but to tlee or come on to
the penitentiary. He put his business in
shape and came.
Supt. Griffith will put him to farming
near the prison.?The State.
This is a remarkable case, and goes to
show that money cannot always defeat
justice. Mr. Stuckey killed a man last
year, and although he is a wealthy man,
was found guilty by a Spartanburg jury.
He appealed to the Supreme Court, but
it decided against him.
Eggs Without Hens.
At a country fete a conjurer was performing
the old trick of producing eggs
from a hat, when lie remarked to a little
boy : "'Your mother can't get eggs without
hens, can she?" "Of course she can !"
replied the lad. "Why, how is that?"
asked the conjurer. "She keeps ducks,"
replied the Ixiy, amid roars of laughter.
"Friend," said the sanctimonious clergyman, 'are
vou not ashamed to make
your living playing poker?"
j " "Huh! you and 1 are very much alike,"
replied the unregenerate man. "When
we hold a good hand we don't care to accept
a call unless there is a raise with it."

FARMERS AM) THEIR FARMS
What a Staff Correspondent of Tin
Herald Saw and Heard Alon^ tin
County's Highways and Byways.
Hiohtowek's Mill, March '27, 1!?00.
This is an old-time ante-bellum watei
mill, that was used for a time during tin
war by the government contractors t(
furnish meal, and, sometimes tlour, foi
the brave soldiers of the Confederacy. I
formerly belonged to the Millions family
and is still carried on the Auditors am
Treasurer's books by that title. Mr.('has
Henry Ilutto is tlie present enterprising
lessee. lie not only runs the mill, and ;
ginnery, but conducts a store, profitably
tills a two-liorse farm, raises hog meat t<
sell, tends a water tank on the Atlantic
Coast Line, is interested in Pekin am
Muscovy duck culture, and finds time ir
between whiles to catch lots of fish, am
the past winter has trapped three line ot
ters, the pelts of which netted him some
thing over $'21. One would imagine from
this that Mr. Hutto is a very busy man
who wants twenty-five hours out of tin
twenty-four in which to attend to his
multifarious duties. On the contrary. In
lias plenty of time in which to hospitably
entertain his friends, and The Bamukimi
Hkkald correspondent, being an old, old
friend, was super-hospitably taken cait
>f. Sherman's cohorts burned the old
mill when they passed through here, and
it was not rebuilt until after the surrender
When it was the flouring attachment was
left out. The mill pond is a famous fishing
place, and the grove of superb old
;rees south of the mill has resounded
with the shouts ami laughter of merry
picnickers, and the rebald bacchanalianism
of "fish fry" parties, from time immemorial.
Below the old mill is a deep poo]
jf water which is used by the followers
af Christ's precursor, from the Ghent's
Branch and Graham's churches, as a baptistry.
Mr. Hutto raises Berkshire and
Durock Jersey pigs, which he finds ?
splendid cross, and he now has meat
enough in sight to last him two years
Last year he sold $2.1 worth of fine pigs
and reserved half that amount for fresl
meat.
I passed through Denmark en routi
here, and could not help noticing the ail
of suppressed excitement and prospective
importance which her worthy citizens
have taken upon themselves lately. Th<
town is beginning to awake to a ful
knowledge of its importance geographi
sally as a location for those industries anil
Biiterprises which arc forging South Car
olina to the front as a great manufacturing
State. They have established several
minor industries which pay their pro
aioters and give employment to many
persons. Now they have in contemplation
a big cotton mill, and it looks a.?
though the idea was far from being "an
die dream." One thing they have done,
which is much to their credit and deserve s
commendation : they have as line abraded
ichool as can be found in the State, and
the able gentleman at the head, Superintendent
J. Arthur Wiggins, has been the
most important factor in its upbuilding,
riie trustees of the school have given him
wide latitude for development, and substantial
encouragement for expansion,
rhot ;? whnt we want, and want badly
tor the l>enefit of the generation now
growing up which will manage anil control

State?good schools.
There is something else that we neul
jqually as badly?goodJroads?and the
Danes are forging to the front with very
creditable specimens of these necessaiy
idjuncts to civilization. Township Comnissioner
Charles McGiever is not an ornamental
officer. He works, and the exmiple
of his tireless energy forces othei
people to work. As a consequence wt
nave in sight a real road, nearly straight
running from your city to Denmark; that
nld abomination of deep sand, rutty clay
ind boggy mudholes, the Ghent's Branch
road, converted into a travelable thoroughfare
; the upper and lower roads to Li es
md Blackville vastly improved; the Pinmaker's
Bridge road widened and finely
piked, and that portion of the old Clunleston
and Augusta telegraph road which
ruus through the upper end of the counly
rehabilitated. And the good work still
?oes on. Supervisor Kearse's pied workmen
are now digging and ditching and
piking the roads in the vicinity of High
;ower's Mill. The gang, which is camped
in the grove before mentioned, just be
youd the old mill, although small in numbers,
is doing excellent work under Foreman
J. Frank Brabham and Guard W. C
Kirkland. They have only seven hands
but with the road machine, which cosl
the county less than two dollars, and the
latest additions to their stock of tools, t
four-horse plow and three two-horse scooj
shovels, they are able to do in a day ar
amount of work that would make a fifty
strong force of "road hands" drop ilcai
from pure astonishment. That latter arch
:eic relic of "grandfather's days" is, I think
doomed. The people in this section liavi
set their faces against the yearly "roai
duty" required of them. They prcfc
direct taxation and the employment o
competent hands, under competent super
intendency, to render our so-called puhli
roads, smooth and sure-enough highway
of travel. If, according to the provisions o
the bill introduced by Senator Mayfield ii
the last legislature, the different sehmi
districts in the county assess themselves j
three mill yearly tax for road purpose?
we'll have roads in Bamberg county with
in five years that will be the best roads ii
the low country. The "chain-gangs," al
ttfough they do a vast amount of worl
daily, don't seem to have a hard time o
it. The men all look fat'and healthy, am

| One thing I noticed, in riding throug
this country that grieved me: there arc
I too many saw mills in operation. When
will our farmers awake to the importance
. of preserving their timber growth? At
I the present rate of denudation, we'll soon
have this country stripped hare of its most
beautiful ornaments, and there will come
upon us the many attendant evils that ae'

forest growth, which Almighty (rod set in
p the bosom of this earth to beautify and
6 adorn it. to protect it from drowth
and fertilize it with a yearly covering of
dead leafage. It profits the farmer nothing
to sell olT his timber, and it certainlv

injures his land. All the uplands have
been swept clear, and now the vandals
have begun upon the river swamps. I

' Buford's Bridge, propose to erect a
' large saw mill near where the F. ('. ?Sr P.
railroad crosses the swamp, and will convert
thrice superb trees into lumber to
enrich Northern manufacturers, who will
j in turn sell the products of their mills to
Southern farmers. If we must cut off
j this hard wood timber why not establish a
wood working mill on the spot and make
Southern furniture and buggies and wagons
on Southern soil ? Farmers, don't
sell your timber. You may not live to regret
it, but your children will, and that's
