Bamberg County Teachers. There was a fair attendance of teacher; at the monthly meeting of the Teachers Association at the court house last Sat urday morning. Three teachers wer< present for the first time and added theii names to the roll: Mr. John J. Jones, ol Smoaks, and Misses M. C. Leland anc Nell Pegues Evans, of the Denmark school. Many of those who were on duty eithei :o debate or read papers were absent so the meeting was necessarily short. Miss Ellen Murphy and Mr. T. D. Jones read ;wo excellent papers on "Discipline in ;he School." These papers showed orignal thought and that the writers had onsiderable insight into child nature. In ;he first paper the fact was brought oul ;hat those teachers who boast of not usng the switch at all, employ far more ?ruel and less effective methods for the punishment of children. In the latter paper many fine points on iehool government were presented in an nstructive and striking manner. Tact >n the part of the teacher is the one conrolling principle. Begin right. Be not changeable. Act to-day as you did yeserday and as you expect to do to-morrow. The largest and most powerful engines nake the least noise when in motion, so he most successful teachers conduct their ichools in a quiet and orderly manner. The questions on current events that lave been printed in The Bamberg HerlLD were read, answered, and discussed. Capt. W. E. Sease referred to the Asociation Mr. McMalian's letter asking vlien would be the most suitable time or holding the summer school in this ountv. It was the opinion of the.teach:rs present that about the middle of July vould be convenient, and Mr. McMahan vill be so informed. A very fine program for the next meetng was made out and adopted. The text meeting will be on the fifth of May. These meetings will prove helpful to he teachers, and all in the county should Mend. If only one new idea is acquired vhieli will help them in their work, the iine will be well spent. Real Estate Transfers.

On February 17th last, three young men, John and Willie Besinger and Jini. my Nimmons, who were on a frolic, shot I off their pistols in the neighborhood of j Mrs. Rachel Wilkinson's house, and tore . down several panels of her pasture fence. [ They were subsequently arrested and t tried before Magistrate L. L. Lancaster, ; who gave them each the alternative of . paying a fine of or putting in fifteen , days on'the chain gang. They appealed , I the case.. It came up Tuesday. It was in evidence that the boys had paid Mrs. Wilkinson fifty cents for the repair of the fence, and upon this showing his Honor Judge Gage promptly set aside the verdict of the Magistrate's court. Murder In Colleton. Last Tuesday John Gaskins, a white mau, left Branchville with a load of fer terlizers. He was joined by a negro named Hampton Simmons, whom he allowed to ride with him as far as the negro's cabin. Last Wednesday evening the body of Gaskins was found in Simmons's yard, he having received a load of buckshot in the face. Simmons has left for parts unknown, but before going he took his children to his sister's house. He told her that Gaskins was drunk and on arriving at Simmons's cabin shot one of his chickens * * r,t - ? ? - ? - ^ ) with a pistol. Simmons rauuusuaau with him and he alleges that Gaskins threatened to shoot him, whereupon Simmons went to his house audi got out his gun and let Gaskins have a load of buck-1 shot in his face. That is his story, but he has skipped away and no arrest has been made. It is a coincidence that Gaskins's brother was also killed by being shot with a load of buckshot and a negro is now serving a term in the penitentiary for the crime. Davis Convicted. The. case of Frank Davis, a negro charged with shooting Frank Garvin, another negro, with intent to murder, at a wedding celebration held Dec. 21st last, occupied the attention of the court for several hours on Tuesday. Master Ray Hutto, a curly-haired Lord Fauntleroy sort of a little chap from Denmark, drew the jury, and Lawyer John R Bellinger, who assisted the solicitor, did his best, in connection with that officer, to convict the accused. The jury remained out until after the adjournment of court, returning a verdict of guilty yesterday morning. The judge sentenced him to a fine of $o0 or a term of six months on the chain gang. Their Case Went Over. The case of the State vs Wm Irons and Louise Kirkland, indicted for adultery, was continued until next term of court. The parties are negroes, who live about three miles from here, and were not in i court, although the State's witnesses were all present. This was a celebrated case, and the prc, liminary examination was held before the 1 late Magistrate Joseph Dickinson last summer. The hearing occupied three days. The accused were in jail at the ' time, but after the preliminary they were ' both discharged, and never signed a , recognizance for their appearance. Oil Mill Assured. A meeting of those interested in the ; establishment of a cotton oil mill here was held in the town hall last Tuesday ? * afternoon. H C Folk was made chairman of the meeting, with W D Rhoad and A I W Knight secretaries. It was decided to ' make the capital stock -$15,000, with the [ par value of each share $25. [ Most of the capital stock was subscribed at the meeting, and Jno H Cope, G ) Frank Bamberg, Jno F Folk, Havelock Eaves, and W M Brabham were elected as a board of directors. Havelock Eaves, A W Knight, and W M Brabham were appointed as a commits tee to draft by-laws for the company, and rt the board of directors were authorized to t> take steps to perfect the organization. b The board held a meeting immediately l> afterwards, and appointed committees to * secure a new commission (this being made necessary by a change in the capital stock); '. to secure data as to machinery; for an available site, and to petition city council for tax exemption for live years. ? A Big Egg. 1 Dr. B. D. Bronson has an every day vT dunghill hen which weighs about six pounds. Ordinarily she lays an average f sized egg, and lias always conducted herI salf as a well-raised but plebian-bloodei] hen. l" The other day, however, she got seizec ,r with an ambition to distinguish herself d and the result was an egg nearly the size e of those fabled roc fruit which Sinhadtln Sailor found in the Valley of Diamonds E The doctor has not yet weighed theabor g | tion, but he is confident that two sucl > | would outweigh the hen, and, as soon a: y j lie gets his new broad-trail wagon, hi ir j proposes to cart the mastodon down towi 't; where he will place it on free exhibition ly The egg measures inches in circumfer n ence through its largest diameter, and ' ir inches through its shortest. ,i- Since the above was in type, the eg j ?t has been put on exhibition at the Bam berg Pharmacy. * Court Proceedings. The April term of the court of session,ami general jail delivery for Bam hers county convened on Monday morning with his Honor, Judge 0. W. Gage, 01 the bench, Solicitor W. II. Townsend a his desk, and Stenographer Win. T. Bel linger with pencil sharpened and note book ready to take testimony. Master J Linwood Lightsey drew the jurors. Tin new grand jury, with Mr. J. W. (Turn as foreman, was empanelled, and after brie; instructions from the judge considered ; and returned true bills in the following cases: Frank Davis, assault and battery witl intent to kill and carrying concealer weapons. Elliott Grayson, murder. mmei i. i-runnciis, inuruer. Alec. O'Brien, disturbing religious worship. Frank Davis, assault ami battery. May Rice, grand larceny. Win. Irons and Louise Kirkland, adultery. Ill the case of Geo. Johnson, charged with bigamy, no bill was found. Nelson Williams and Cape Grimes pleaded guilty of the larceny of live stock, and were each sentenced to one year's imprisonment at hard labor on the public works of the county or in the penitentiary, and a tine of $1. . Homer Ruth, charged with assault and battery, on an appeal from Magistrate Ray's court, was indicted of assault and battery, and the ease was afterwards remanded back to Magistrate Ray's court for a rehearing. The appeal case of William Garvin, charged with petit larceny, from Magistrate E. T. LaFitte's court, on motion of G. W. M. Williams, Jr., Esq., counsel for the defendant, was sustained, and an order issued granting Garvin a new trial. The case of Dan. T. Gunnclls, charged with the murder of Willie Grimes, was set for to-day. May Rice, a Denmark negro, who was tried and convicted at the last term of court of stealing a (HO pound bale of cotton from H. C. Rice, of that town, was again placed on trial and again convicted. He was tcntcnced to one year 011 the chain gang. Wednesday morning the case of the State against Elliott Grayson, charged with the murder of David Adams, was taken up, and consumed most of the day. It was not finished when we went to press Wednesday afternoon. GRAND JURY PRESENTMENT. The grand jury, 011 Tuesday, made me following presentment, each clause of which Judge Gage agreed in, and promised his cordial co-operation in carrying out the suggestions embodied therein. To his Honor, G. W. Gage, presiding judge, Spring term, 190(k The grand jury beg leave to make the following presentment : We have passed upon all the bills of indictments handed us by the solicitor, and returned the same to the court. We have inspected the jail and find that the prisoners are properly treated and well cared for. We have visited the county offices and found them in good condition, also investigated the banks in which the accounts are kept and have discovered no errors or shortage. We realize the necessity of a more thorough examination of accounts than the time allowed a grand jury will permit; therefore we recommend that an expert accountant be appointed to make the same and report the finding to the grand jury at the next term of court, to be embodied in their presentments. It has come to our knowledge that the fish laws of the State are almost if not entirely disregarded. The wholsale destruction of the fish as they run up the streams to spawn and increase, by wire traps, nets, seins and dynamite, if not stopped, will result in the final extermination of the valuable fish in our waters. We recommend, therefore, that your Honor charge those whose duty it is to a strict enforcement of the law. In conclusion, we sincerely express our thanks to the judge, solicitor and county officials, for courtesies shown us, and assistance rendered in the discharge of our duty. Respectfully submitted, JN*0. W. CRUM, Foreman. Roster of Civil Cases.

J. B. Black. The Exhorter Convicted. s The second day of court opened with a r resumption of the trial of Alec. O'Brien, , charged witli disturbing public worship 1 at Prospect church, in the lower part of t this county, on the thirty-first day of - January last. The story ol' this trouble has already . been printed in Tiik Bamukuo IIkkald, ? and the testimony before the court was > \ in substance what has already appenre 1 f in its columns. Jno. H. Bcilinirer. Esq.. 1 appeared for the prisoner, and his examr ination of one of the witnesses, tiic Rev. Wash. Thomas, brought out the fact that there was a put at the bottom ot the 1 trouble. The preacher declared, cause I ' preached a sermon that so effected Brother O'Brien that he promised me a piir if 1 would only come to his house. I went tln>r?> tlir> m<vt il-tv.nnil <>7)t the nit'" O'Brien claimed that the pig was not a rift hut had been purchased by the Reverend Thomas. He also boasted that "tie 1m.i1! sturbanee was 'cause de sisters all lubed me," and this fact was not denied bv the prisoner. The jury after hearing ail the evidence decided that the prisoner was guilty as charged. He was sen: tenced jo a fine of $T> or three months , on the chain gang. Trip of the Veterans to Louisville. The prospect is that a large attendance from South Carolina will be at Louisville. The idea of General C I Walker, commander of the South Carolina division of U C V, in concentrating the veterans at Spartanburg is a very good one. This will give the "old vets" an opportunity to exchange greetings and will insure the same arrival time at Louisville of all the delegates from this State. The mountain route, through the "land of the sk\%" down the French Broad river, via Knoxville, Harriman Junction, Lexington and into Louisville, is very delightful during the spring and summer months, and is preferable to the long and dusty routes. There are also two daily trains in each direction via this route between South Carolina points and Louisville, insuring no crowded trains; and the trip will be entirely comfortable returning home. This is cjuite an important item to those who attend. The May Delineator. A new form of needlework, very beautiful in its results, is shown in the May Delineator. Instead of accomplishing embroidery by colored stitches of various lengths, as heretofore, very pretty results are obtained by sewing carefully to a proper background small stripes of colored silk cut out in the shape of leaves or petals or stalks. A most attractive feature of the article describing this method of work, is that there is a full page printed in colors showing the effect of this dainty idea. Thackeray once wrote, "Reckon among the blessings which Heaven hath bestowed 011 thee, the love of faithful women. Purify thine own heart and try to make it worthy of theirs. All the prizes of life are nothing comparen to that one. All the rewards of ambition, wealth, pleasure, only vanity and disappointment, grasped at greedily, fought over fiercely, and over and over again found worthless by the universe." Such were the ideals that sad hearted but cheerful visaged Thackeray worshipped. His own experience with married life was unutterably sad; for though his wife was living, yet he suffered more than the pangs of a widower for 28 years. His wife, after 58 years in an insane asylum, died only six years ago. The pathos of it is very tenderly told by Clara E LauShlin in the May issue of The Delineator. H. Clark, Chauncey, Ga? says DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cured him of piles that had afflicted him for twenty years. It is also a speedy cure for skin diseases. Beware of thingerous counterfeits.
