Recently an ohl white man named Lewis Scruggs, of Cherokee county, was sentenced to two months in the penitentiary for fighting. He bore a good reputation, and made a fine soldier, being a wounded Confederate veteran. Upon a petition numerously signed Governor McSweeney granted him a pardon, which was the right thing to do. It is true the old man was guilty, but we can forgive a great i deal in a brave soldier of the "lost cause." A few days ago we received an anony1 mous circular attacking Lee's School HisItory, published by B. F. Johnson & Co., of Richmond, Va. We suppose this is the contemptible work of the school book ! ' ' trust, and they are evidently afraid that ^ ? -I * AL/v kSoutu uaronna win uuupi mu niMunt? as a text book, but they will never prevent such action by their bushwhacking k5P??>-v.t .. " methods. The histories are being used in Bamberg schools now, and seem to be giving satisfaction. Iry'. Senator Tillman is out in a letter which seems to oppose the county-to-county canvass by candidates for State offices. He will no doubt have the endorsement of many politicians in this, as a canvass of .the State is very expensive. We don't ^4..- care much one way or the other, but we 4,- ; ? '-rather incline to the opinion that the peos|~r pie will demand to meet the various candidates face to face 011 the stump, and the plan of having campaign meetings in each county is likely to be in op. eration for some time to come. We might \ as well return to the convention plan of I . nominating if there are to be no public fe. speeches. P|tv .. ? ' KIND WORDS. I * . Editor Knight, of the Bamberg Herald, is doing excellent work for his town. They say he works night and day when Bamberg's interests are concerned.?Barn _ well Sentinel. ' Yes, we try to benefit our town, both by personal work and through the col[1^ umns of our paper. We are glad to have the words of commendation above, for " sometimes it appears as if our own people do not appreciate our work for the town as much as they should. We still labor on, however, trusting that Bamberg ?r;il toVo nn o cnhst.nnt.ial frowt,li as the (result of our efforts, and if so we shall feel amply rewarded. While we are glad ? to have appreciation, we are working for results. The Best in the World. We believe Chamberlain's cough rem edy is the best in the world. A few weeks ago we suffered with a severe cold and a troublesome cough, and having read their advertisements in our own and other papers we purchased a bottle to see if it would effect us. It cured us before the bottle was more than half used. It is the best medicine out for colds and coughs.? . The Herald, Andersonville, Ind. For , sale by all druggists and medicine dealers.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercery as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is "ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall's catarrh cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, ()., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Hall's catarrh cure be sure you get the genuine. It is taken internally, and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co. Testimonials free. Sold by druggists, price Toe. per bottle.

WANT ROOD ROADS. lioard of County Commissioners Desires Better Highways?New Road Opened?Pauper Petition's Considered?Another Telephone Company?Claims Paid. The doctrine of bettor roads is taking root in Bamberg county, and its fruitful soil will 110 doubt soon revolutionize the arclueie methods of our grandfathers, and give lis a system of highways that are travelaMe and safe. The Board of County Commissioners at its meeting on .Monday last took up this vitally impor taut question and after listening to a tifteen-minute address by Mr.George Wolsey Svmonds on the best highways obtainable with the material at hand in tinlow country, there was a running discussion for some time, participated in by Township Commissioner Charles M'Giever, County Commissioner J. A. Chassercau. Supervisor J. 11. Kearse and County Attorney Jno. R. Bellinger, which, without bringing about any decisive action on the part of the board, crystali/.ed the sentiments of its members into this one imj portant fact, that we need better roads and must have them. How they are to be obtained is a matter for future consideration. As a starter the Board ordered a road running' from the Wm. Hutto place to Denmark, recently opened and partially worked by Township Commissioner Chas. M'Gicver, to be opened to public travel, Mr. M'Giever declaring that it's proper maintenance should never cost the county a cent. The pauper petitions of Laura Kearse, Calvin Jones, Isaac McMillan and Joe Bitter were rejected, that of Mrs. Ilagan was referred to Commissioner Ilyrd for action, and that of Dick McKen/.ie and Adaline Chassereau were favorably considered. The request of the Gordon Telephone Company for permission to erect poles 011 the county roads, was granted, with the proviso that the poles be set not less than ten feet from the centre of the road. The Supervisor was ordered to buy one half dozen of Halstead's patent porce lain lined pails for the jail, and the following claims were considered and ordered paid: Hughes Brothers, lumber, $ 12.24.

We will promptly send illustrations from which selections may be made. There is nothing to pay. The gift is absolute. Our object in making this sensational oflcr is to get a sample of (junker Valley ' Silverware into every home in the land. We believe it to be the most effective advertising that we can do. We will not send these sugar shells to lists of names. This is too expensive a gift to send to pcr: sons who don't ask for it themselves. Therefore, each lady will please send her own name onlv. But one to a family and none to children. Ladies, please write to; dav, giving full postoflice address. ; " " QUAKER VALLEY MFG. CO., Morgan nnd Harrison Sts., Chicago, 111. Elirlianlt Echoes. Mr. J. (\ Kinard and Mr. Claussen, of Charleston, went down to Asliton last Thursday. Mrs. S. 1*. Chisholm and daughter,Miss Kathleen, and son, Huliert. spent a few days with friends in Varnville last week. Miss Hattie Kisher, who has been spendI injrsome time with her sister, Mrs. B. F. | Moore, returned to her home last Wednesday. Our school bell now strikes the hours I from nine until three. We suppose this may he a convenience to those who don't | carry watches, hut we don't char-re the I town anything for it. j Mr. P. C. Cullum.* having heen offered ; better paying work elsewhere, has resigned his position here as assistant teacher in our school, and his resignation has heen accepted. Mr. Bcnj. K. Loadholdt, one of our own nutnher, has heen secured to teach the unexpired term. Mr. Loadholdt, aside from being a successful farmer and prosperous merchant, is an excellent teacher, and we assure our patrons and friends that our school will he kept up to its present standard of excellence. The pupils of our school have succeeded in raising ?.T?.S4 for desks. The patrons held a meeting last Saturday afternoon and supplemented that sutlicient to make a purchase for the whole school. The order has heen made, and we expect them by the last of this week. We sincerely thank all those who have so generously aided us in this movement. We believe our citizens are willing and anxious to aid us in every way possible; vote a special school tax, thus making it possible. Our military company drilled last Thursday for the last time this session. The hoys have made rapid progress in military science under the direction of Mi. *?li. VUUUIII. Last Monday afternoon Mr. Ben Brown's horse and buggy was standing in front of Mr. I. D. Copeland's store; a thoughtless dog ran out of the store; the liorse decided to run away, which he began to do immediately. He dashed across the street, around Mr. Pearlstine's store and on down the street until he got in reaching distance of Mr. Sam Copeland, who caught him by the bridle rein and jerked him around so suddenly that the horse fell sprawling 011 some roots, and hurt himself so badly that he can scarcely walk now. Trial Justice J. C. Breeland held court here last Friday, in consequence of which a large crowd of visitors was here. Court was held in the depot, but we haven't learned what cases were considered or the results. Mr. Ford, of Virginia, was here last week letting out mail contracts for another year. I11 honor of the presence of Miss Alice Sense, of Barnwell, at Prof. T. D. Jones's last Friday night, several friends assembled there and were treated to some tine music bv Dr. Roberts and Mr. Willie Seasc. Mr. J. C. McKenzie's new store will be ready for occupancy in a few days. Mr. T. L. Pearlstine has already unloaded a carload of furniture in there, and will move his entire stock of merchandise there in a few days. ' Last Sunday was April Fool's Day, and we suppose many people were in their natural elements. There Avas a quilting at the home of Oapt. W. E. Sease last Friday. Not such a large crowd was present, but three quilts were finished. Mr. Pate, our polite and obliging depot agent, reports an increase in the business here. When are the railroad authorities going to give us a telegraph office ? The farmers of this section are busy planting corn, which we hope will be a large crop. Mr. Chas. Ehrhardt's house will soon he complete. It presents a pretty appearance. From what we can learn the new railroad from Augusta to Charleston is a certainty. Men are going through now to get the right-of-way. The road passes within alKHit two miles of here, near Pleasant Hill church. We fear that this cold wave has already injured the fruit crop of this section. Maxervta Ciiassereau. W. W. Mavhew, Merton, Wis., says, "1 consider One Minute Cough Cure a most wonderful medicine, quick and safe." It is the only harmless remedy that gives immediate results. It cures coughs, colds, croup, bronchitis, grippe, whooping cough, pneumonia and all throat and lung diseases. Its early use prevents consumption. Children always like it and mothers endorse it. Bamberg Pharmacy. Denmark Doings. Denmark, April 2.?The most interesting happening in the social circle during the past week was a "starlight picnic" gotten up by the young men of the town as a special entertainment for the young ladies and gloomy bachelors. The pleasure grounds were on the banks of the Edisto, although merry-making seems to have been in order on the way to and from the river. A delightful supper was served consisting of an abundance of fish and delicacies of many kinds, after which music was rendered by a number of ladies and gentlemen. The wind was blowing cold, making the night rather disagreeable, but the entire party reports having had a very pleasant time. Mr. M. I. Krawchek has disposed of his stock of merchandise at this place, and will in the course of a few weeks open up a bottling works in the town of Newberry. The friends of Mr. Ivrawehek reyret to see him leave. His stay at this place has been the means of pleasant association, anil all will bid him good-bye with the hope that lie will return often. II. B. Daniels, colored, will very likely receive the appointment of census enumerator for Fishpond township, of this county. Daniels was postmaster at this place about six years ago, and is said to have made a most excellent officer. His work as enumerator will probably receive a like commendation from his superior officers. J Rev. Paul F. Kistler occupied the pulpit at the Methodist church Sunday morning. A large congregation greeted the great soldier of Christ and listened very attentively to a well delivered sermon. Mr. Kistler is a living monument of the past history of the church to which he belongs. He is old and feeble, but he can preach a better sermon to-day than the great majority of ministers in the South Carolina Conference.
