Larrv Gantt is now paying his respects
to Stanyarne Wilson through the columns
of the Spartanburg Free Lance. He
v,"' t says Wilson speaks with the Democrats
in congress and then votes with the Republicans.
Larry wants to defeat Wilson
for re-election, and the prospects are that
Stanvarne will have a hard time getting
back to congress. They used to be as
? thick as peas in a pod.
We wish it distinctly understood that
The Bamberg Herald is not any combination
or clique for the election or defeat
of any candidate for a county office.
We have something else to do, and it's
no money in our pocket to elect fellows
jpi to office. The rumor has been going
around, and we wish to serve notice on
all concerned that this paper is not carryx"
ing any candidate, and will not do so.
The United States authorities have put
E themselves in a pretty l>ad predicament
?: by their action in the custom house whiskey-matter
in Charleston. The proof
seems conclusive that the" collector and
J his assistants knew that the custom house
was being used as a storage warehouse
for "blind tiger" liquor, and no doubt
\' ... they were well paid by the illicit dealers.
|| If somebody's official head doesn't drop
in the basket we shall be very much surprised.
Judge Benet, in his charge to the Ricliland
county irrand jury last week, spoke
at length of the crimes of murder anil
p. * carrying concealed weapons. He showed
||' that last year there were in this State 243
k murders and only ninety-nine convictions.
It is to be hoped that other judges
- will take up the matter as earnestly as
Judge Benet, and that it will result in
^ making human life more valuable in
m South Carolina and create a higher respect
for our laws
Admiral Dewey has announced himself
as a candidate for president of the United
States, and the newspapers all over the
country are poking fun at him, about all
of them receiving the announcement of
his candidacy as a huge joke. He says
> he is a Democrat, but no matter what his
political affiliations are, this is not his
year to run. Some months4 ago we belive
the whole country would have stampeded
to his support, but now the idea of
of his running is utter folly.
Ehrhardt Etchings.
Ehrhardt, April 9.?Mrs. Weeks, of
Govan, has been visiting her aunt, Mrs.

Mr. Probst Sease and his mother, Mrs.
W. E. Sease! went out to Bambersr last
Ill Saturday after Capt. Sease, who for the
past week has been sick with la grippe,
j:.but we are glad to say is some better now.
Mr. Henry Ehrhardt and his family
have been sick, Grippe is the trouble.
It is bad enough for one at a time to be
^ sick, and of course it is worse when all
are sick at the same time. We sympa'
thize with Mr. Ehrhardt's family very
much, and hope that they will all be up
soon.
During the past week Mr. Lewis Kinard
has been working in the Pearlstine

Mr. T. D. Jones went out to Bamberg
last Saturday to attend the teachers' meeting.
L _ Messrs. Pearlstine and Caldwell went

TJic past week has reminded us of
spring, and the farmers are taking ad van|>V
tage of it, too; some have almost tinished
mr planting cotton.
Mr. T. D. Jones lias purchased a bushel
of the Sims cotton seed, and will experiment
with it in the school house field.
' You remember that this is the cotton that
Mrs. Sims sold for 14 cents, so the cotton
makers around here will evidently
watch Mr. Jones's field with interest.
We were glad to see Mr. J. C. Breeland
in town last Saturday.
Mrs. T. D. Jones and little son, Earle,
spent last Sunday at the home of Capt.

Bnford's Bridge Breezes.
Oi.ak, April 0.?Buford's Bridge was
once the garden spot of old Barnwell t
county, when her lines extended from 1
Sandbar Ferry to the Colleton county
line, twenty miles below here. She is i
still the garden spot of the newer Bam- <
berg. South Carolina's "baby county." :
The history of Buford's Bridge is of the
past. The history of the country which
surrounds the one-time nourishing settlement
is yet to be made.
Many of her brave sons donned the
gray when their country called them to
arms, and it can be truly said of, these
that whatever shall be?whatever has
been?the South's glory, shall Ik* a part
of their imperishable fame. They fought
boldly ami nobly for the lost cause, and
in all that great army of heroic sons
who waged war for liberty for four long
years, none displayed more heroism than
the boys from Buford's Bridge. Who remains
of these gallant souls to tell the
story of the Bridge as she was in her
prime ? Only a very small numlwr.
Buford's Bridge's tirst settler was a
man from whom the place took its name,
but the tirst settler to start an enterprise
there was Louis Mnlone Aver, who at the
time of his death owned about ten thousand
acres of mother earth. To-day his
descendants have ownership in less than
a thousand. Mr. Aver started a "rumshop,"
as the bar-rooms of that day were
known. Following him were Matthew
Move, who emigrated from North Carolina.
He was on his way to Georgia, but,
being charmed with the virgin fertility of
the soil, decided to stop there. He followed
the same business as Mr. Aver.
As years rolled on this nucleus gathered
other interests and industries about it.
and increased in population and importance.
It was the trading point of the
country for miles around, and there were
merchants, blacksmiths, barbers, boatmakers,
tailors and barroom keepers. J.
J. ?fc H. Brabham, and Priester A Dickinson
were the leading merchants. There
our forefathers spent many successful and
happy hours. They made plenty of sil
ver and gold, but have long since "crossed
over the river" and I hope are "resting
under the shade of the trees." All that
remains of the ancient town are the
crushed in roofs and falling walls of the
: old houses?above them the nodding tree
Kr-inr'hix; thirb with festoons of funereal
^ moss. It is in fact a city of the dead, and
? the "rude forefathers" of the hamlet lie
resting there under the shadow of the
? moss-draped trees, alike unconscious of
1 the town's desolation, and of the newer
1 and more progressive settlements that
1 have sprung up at the nearby railroads.
A few of the neighborhood residents?
old men and women?still love to gather
. about their firesides on winter nights and
talk garrulously of the past. Got! forbid
| that the old name shall ever pass away.
Philadelphia school has been closed
. after a run of only five months, and Miss
Florrie Brabham, the teacher, 1ms gone to
her home in Bamberg. She discharged
her duties very faithfully and satisfactorily.
The free school system is a very
j>oor one. If the children had to depend
. on it for an education they would go
lacking.
Mrs. Thos. L. "Wiggins and children
have returned to their home in Bamberg,
r after a visit of two weeks in our midst.
Misses Lizzie Best and Ethel Brabham
visited Olar last week.
The Mormon elders, two by two, are
travelling over our neighborhood distributing
their tracts of an interview in the
Atlanta Constitution, on the Mormon
faith, with Ben E. Rich, of the Church of
. Jesus Christ of latter day saints. It is
true that the Mormons receive a lot of
encouragement in the Western and Northern
States, but they get cold comfort in
the South and East. In addition to their
pamphlet they have two pages of what
leading men of the West and North say
about them. Some of our people in this
immediate neighborhood are so ignorant
as to let them read their pamphlet and
occasionally let them preach. It is to be
hoped that they will never get an}* encouragement
or foothold in our country*.
Sam Walker, the noted negro thief,
made a raid on the store of Mr. C. F.
Rizer last Saturday. Sam bought some
bacon and had it charged to another
negro. When he found out they were

up with Mr. Rizer for ten dollars.
Mr. Ben Best, formerly of this neighborhood,
but for the past five or six years
of Benedict, Fla., has returned to his old
home, to the delight of his many friends.
Mr. Josie Brabham, of this vicinity, lias
gone to Bamberg to attend the graded
school.
Rev. John G. Beckwith preached to a
large congregation at Mizpah church last
Sundav.
Mr. If. L. Kearse, of Savannah, Ga.,

The farmers have had nice weather for
their work recently and they are making .
use of it. Some are planting cotton.

the Slavtown section, visited the family 1

Remarkable Cure of Rheumatism.
Kenny, Jackson Co., W. \ a.?About ^
three years ago my wife had au attack of
rheumatism which confined her to her 1
bed for over a month and rendered her
unable to walk a step without assistance, *
her limbs being swollen to double their !
normal size. Mr. S.' Maddox insisted on 1
my usiug Chamberlain's pain balm. I
purchased a lifty-cent bottle ami used it j
according to the directions and the next t
morning she walked to breakfast without
assistance in any manner, and she has
not had a similiar attack since?A. B. >

Dr.NMAKK, April !>.?Last Tuesday afI'raoon
a number of citizens met at Guess' t
hall in response to a call made by Dr. S. <
D. M. Guess, chairman board of trustees 1
>f cemetery property. Dr. Guess was re- 1
elected chairman, and Mr._J. S. J. Faust, (
secretary. A number of trustees were <
also elected to take the place of deceased ?
members, members whose pleasure it was ]
not many years ago to care for the graves <
of their friends, and now they themselves <
arc sleeping beneath the cold sod. their :
graves the care of others. Flans were :
perfected by which these sacred acres 1
may be protected and beautified. If tomorrow
were resurrection day. the eiti- i
/.ens of Denmark would likely feel abash
<. <1 upon seeing those loveu ones coming
out of their opened graves, groping about
to get a good standing place from which ;
to rise and meet Mod's great concourse in
mid-air. Would an apology he in order?
This is futurity, speculation, but what
conclusions do you suppose are formed
by the many strange pedestrians and :
even kind friends who pass by this hallowed
field every day in the week ? Dr. ,
Guess was requested to take charge c f <
the cleaning of the cemetery. This gentleman
never does his work with a blow
and a wish. It is safe to say that the
present wilderness of weeds and grass
will soon give way to sweet flowers and
green shrubbery. Friends, let us take
care of the graves of our loved ones. Some
day you will occupy your chosen square.
Be thoughtful of those whose white shafts
which still remind you of past sacred
relationship, and possibly when you are
gone the rising generation will not forget
your beneficent kindness. Aged men,
leave a good model plan for your sons to
follow. Teach the sparkling youth to
revererence the grave of mother, father,
sister or brother.

The Best in the World.
Wre believe Chamberlain's cough remedy
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 ellect us. it cured us before the
bottle was more than half used. It is the ;
best medicine out for colds and coughs.? ,

Commuia, April 7.?For some days
here lias been mention in the newspapers
?!' the absence of .Indite of Probate Henry i
I. Brunson, of Oran^eburit. A tcleirram <
roin Governor MeSweency to Clerk of ;
Jourt Sal ley, directing him to take charge i
if the otliee in the absenee of Mr. Bran- 1
M>n. has been published. Mr. Branson i
lias been quite ill sinee In* left < franjroburi; 1
>n the 25th of Mareli, and that la rifely ae:*ounts
for his unexplained and talked of
ibsenee. Mr. Brunson has been heard
From, and will no doubt return to Oran<rebursr
and assume the duties of his otlice,
which have been temporarily assumed by
the Clerk of Court.
Mr. Thomas M. Kay so r, of the Oranjre
burg bar, ami Mr. Thomas F. Brantley, of
Orangeburg, came to Columbia to-day to
i;o over tlie matter with Governor MeSweeney
ami explain t<? him t he situation,
which may have been misunderstood from
the rumors that have been afloat. They
assured Governor MeSweeney that the
people had never lost eonlidenee in Mr.
iirunson, and that they deeply regret his
absence and illness. They showed him
that (here had never been any shortage
or defalcation shown or aliened, and that
at most there is a confusion of the books
and accounts, which will all be made stood
and straightened out to the satisfaction
of every one. It was Mr. Branson's careless
business methods and kindness of
heart that made him sick of his work. Mr.
Kaysor, in the course of his conversation
with Governor MeSweeney, said that
there must be half a box of lax receipts
showing money, which Mr. Branson advanced,
which has never been returned to
him, and there are other such evidences.
Mr. Kaysor is satisfied.that if there is
confusion in the oftice that there Ls no
criminality about Mr. Branson's absence,
and that with the confidence the people
have in him he will conduct the oflice to
the satisfaction of every one.
Governor MeSweeney said that he
would not for the world ruin a young
man's hopes and ambitions, and those of
his family, on a mere rumor and on his
unexplained absence. He consented to
withdraw his telegram to @lcrk of Court
Salley, and as sooii as Mr. Branson returns
to Orangeburg he will be given
charge of his oftice and everything will
run along smoothly.
When last heard from Mr. Branson was
quite sick, and the hope is that he will
soon be able to be up and ready to return
to Orangeburg.
Governor MeSweeney has been assured
that Mr. Branson's bondsmen wish him
to resume his oftice, and, of course, legally
there is 110 possible reason why he should
not take charge of his oftice Besides it
is the desire of Governor MeSweeney and
the many friends of Mr. Branson that he
be given the opportunity to show them
that their confidence in him is not misplaced
and that he merits their good will.

Happenings in the Country.
Great was the surprise when it was rumored
on last Saturday afternoon that
Mr. .Teffie Hughes, of Clear Pond, and
Miss Ettie Beard, of Colston, were to assume
the marriage vows on Sunday. It
was kept a secret except to intimate
friends, They were married by Rev. J.
H. Wilson, at the parsonage on Sunday
morning.
Mrs. Alice Zeigler and her neice, Miss
Mabel Hill, have just returned from a
pleasant visit to Stokes. Miss Edna
Stokes accompanied them back, and is
now stopping at Clear Pond.
Messrs. Allan Gillam and O. P. Jordan
are at the court house this week.
A pleasant evening was passed at Mr.
and Mrs. J. L. Smoak's last Saturday. It
was a musicaleand, under the sweet influence
of Miss Belle Sandifer, I think each
enjoyed it.
Miss Georgie E. Jordan, is visiting relatives
and friends in the city this week.
The folks of our community are anticipating
a pleasant time at the annual picnic
at Clear Pond on Good Friday. Everybody
is cordially invited to attend with
well filled baskets," and we will expect
all the candidates to render some speeches
on that day.
The sad intelligence was keenly felt in
this community, when it was announced
that Dr. T. C. Lewis was dead. He was
a noble man. G.

Broken-down
Women
weary from pain and the torture of
. over-taxed nerves it is but natural that
you should be low-spirited and dejected.
Woru-out by the care, the
worry and the long suffering from
weaknesses that have ballled the best
efforts of your family doctor, it is no
wonder you have become discouraged,
and think there is nothing left for you
but suffering and misery. Do not give
up all hope, do not lose all courage.
Remember Dr. Miles' Nervine has
helped thousands of despondent women
to regain their lost health and failing
strength. It quiets the irritated
nerves the urearv hrnin and
n drives worry and care away. It gives
zest to the tailing appetite, invigorates
the digestion and adds new strength
and vigor to the whole system. Don't
forget the name.
DR. MILES'
Nervine.
"Change of life left me a total
wreck and I suffered nervousness,
rheumatism, heart trouble and dropsy.
When I commenced taking Dr. Miles'
Nervine last December I was thought
to be in the last stages of nervous prostration
and was scarcely able to move
about the house. I began to improve
almost from the first dose, and in a few
months I was enjoying better health
than I had before in fifteen years. I
am now able to walk ten or a dozen
blocks without feeling in the least fatigued,
and I bless the day 1 first heard
of Dr. Miles' Nervine."
