The Conway correspondent of the Co^
' lumbia State says that Hon. R. B. Scarborough
will not be a candidate for lieu-1
tenant-governor. This will come as a
surprise and disappointment to his many
friends and supporters all over the State, j
who would surely see that he was elected
[*7 ' ? 1
in the event of his making*the race. We
hope he will yet decide to make the race.

A. committee will appear before the
-jVy . city council at its regu'ar meeting next
Tuesday afternoon asking that the pro'
posed cotton oil mill be exempted from
\ taxation for five .. ears. That body will,
- . we feel sure, readiiy accede to the request,
but it should go farther. All new
manufacturing enterprises, of every charrcter,
should be exempted from taxation
for a period of at least five years, and we
hope to see city council take such action.
I We believe the passage of such an ordinance
would be money in our pockets in
the long run, and that the taxpayers are
heartily in favor of such exemption.
John R Tolbert has been removed by
the President as collector of the port at
Charleston, and Col. R M. Wallace, of
Sumter, has been appointed. Tolbert
was turned out because he allowed the
custom house to be used as storage warehouse
for "blind tiger" whiskey in* violation
of the dispensary law. The administration
has done well in the appointment
of Col. Wallace. He is a man who
has the confidence and respect of the
people of Sumter, his adopted home, is
largely interested in the various enterprises
in that city, and is president of the

fer -WOOD ROADS.
The people of Bamberg county are
?g'waking up on the subject of good roads,
r and we believe a large majority of our
Ofi- people are in favor of abolishing the "over|
seer" system. They favor working the
public highways with the chain gang,
fi|g supplemented by free labor, the expenses
being paid by a .separate property road
tax. Everywhere you go the subject of
good roads is generally brought up, and
there are no dissenters from the opinion
' 'that we must have good roads and that
>fs we cannot get them unless we pay for
the necessary work. This is encouraging
?a few years ago people as a rule cared
little and thought less about good roads.
* Now their interest is aroused, and we
!* . hope to have first-class thoroughfares in
S&'-v Bamberg county in the next few years.
- The people of the town should take an
especial interest in this subject, as good
" roads do much to bring trade to a town,
if-v: Bad roads drive it away.
In discussing this matter it might be
well to mention that Bamberg loses lots
of trade by the condition of the three
crossings over the Edisto. If our business
men were alive to their interests they
would look after the matter, seeing to it
that the proper officials had these impor
taut highways put and kept in passable
condition all the year round,

up the stomach, regulates liver, kidneys

My Dear SirAfter thanking you for
your telegram of this date giving nie the
information as to who the gentleman was
complaining of the failure to receive an
answer from this office to "an important
letter on official business," I beg to ask
that you will publish the following letter
received from Mr. T. S. Weeks. Parenthetically
I may state that I have informed
Mr. Weeks of my intention to have
his letter published, and that but for the
fact that he gave publicity to it I should
have respected his request that it be considered
confidential. For all evident reasons,
names and places are not made public
in the quoted letter:
"Bamberg,tS. C., April 0, 1900.
"Dear General:?About four years ago,"
iu the fall or winter of that year, two negroes
named; shot a man living
here, inflicting dangerous wounds. However
he recovered. The governor offered
a reward of one hundred dollars. 1
can find no record of the matter in The
Herald office here. One of the parties
are in . Please find what amount was
offered and whether the State will pay
the cost, also whether the one in can
be arrested?of course,this is confidential.
Hoping you are well, I am, vourstrulv,

It is not a part of the duty of the office
of Attorney General to answer private
parties propounding questions such as
contained in the letter sent you, but had
Mr. Weeks shown more consideration for
me, I should gladly as a personal favor
have endeavoured to serve him.

three years ago my wife had an attack of

my using Chamberlain's pain balm. I

Married at Barnwell.
Barnwell, April 19.?Dr. William Egleston
and Miss Annie Bonham Aldrich
were married yesterday afternoon at the
. Episcopal church, the Rev. Mr. Prentiss
officiating. The groom is a graduate of
the Medical college of Charleston and afterwards
held a chair of anatomy at the
University of the South, resigning the
same to practice his profession at Barn.well,
where his sterling qualities are appreciated
and where his success is already
assured.
The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Aldrich. In Barnwell
society she has always been a special favorite,
because of her charming personality,?oupled
with varied accomplishments.
The little church, so'beautiful without,
because of its gothic architecture, was
more beautiful within. Banks of roses
and potted plants, artistically arranged
under soft, mellow lights, were in striking
effect and in keeping with the beautiful
occasion,
The ushers were JVm. C. Flennikeu, H.
L. O'Bannon, R. C. Roberts, Jr., and A.
S. Hartzog.
At the appointed hour the maid of hon
or, Miss Martha Ayer Aklrich, came up
the isle alone, preceded by the ushers,
and was followed in turn by the bride,
leaning on the arm of her father, and at
the altar they were joined by the groom
and best man, Dr. W. A. Turner.
At the organ Col. James Bacon, of
Edgefield, presided in his own artistic
way, addiBg an impressjveness to the
scene long to be remembered in Barnwell.
At the home of.the bride a delightful
reception was^ield. The presents were
numerous and beautiful.
Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the public
to know of one concern which is not afraid
to be generous. The proprietors of
Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption,
coughs and colds, have given away
over ten million trial bottles and have the
satisfaction of knowing it has cured thousands
of hopeless cases. Asthma, bronchitis,
la grippe and all throat, chest and
lung diseases are surelv cured by it. Call
on Thos. Black, J. B. Black -or Bamberg
Pharmacy, and gdl a free trial'bottle. Regular

A Correction from Capt. Jenny.
Jennys, S. C., Apr. 23,1900.
Editor The Bamberg Herald : I beg
to be allowed space in your valuable paper
to say just a word by way of "pouringoil
on the troubled waters," and calming the
seemingly disturbed spirits of some of
my fellow-members of the Rivers' Bridge
Memorial Association. I wish to say to
Mr. J. B. Kearse and Dr. R. C. Brabham
what I have already stated to the executive
committee of the Association, viz:
that I had nothing Avhatever to do with
Mr. Symonds' reference to myself as ?
leader in organizing this Association. I
think I may say, without^fear of contradiction,
that it has always been an acknowledged
fact among the members of
this Association that Dr. Brabham was
the leader in this movement, and far be
it from me to claim any honor due another.
I would, however, in justification to
myself, correct a mistake that Dr. Brabham
is laboring under. Although I make
no claim to leadership, I most certainly
do claim that I was one of the original
members of the Rivers' Bridge Memorial
Association. While I would not presume
to say what passed between Mr. Kearse
and Dr. Brabham privately, nor what
they did personally in the way of working
up this matter, I can state I was present
and took part in the lirst organized
meeting. Very respectfully yours,
J! W. Jenny.

A Hero of Fifteen.
Charlie Gower, the fifteen wear-old son
of Arthur G. Gower of 41"> West McBee
avenue, is a hero. He saved his little
friend, Maud Hammond, the six-year-old
daughter of president Frank Hammond
of the Peoples bank, from drowning at
5 o'clock yesterday afternoon and in doing
so greatly imperilled his own life.
Hut for his prompt and heroic act the little
girl would almost undoubtedly have
lost her life.
Charlie was the eldest of a party of
children, consisting of Curtis Martin,
Mahel Cauhle, May Harris, Maude Hammond,
Naomi Stowe and Eliza Hammond,
on tin1 Ions; trestle between the
Birnie street switch and the old C. K. ?.V
W. depot, viewingthe overflowing swamp
beneath them. The water was in three
feet of the trestle ties and over six feet
deep. One of the party in play shouted:
"Here comes the train!"
Maude Hammond was terrified and,
starting in her sudden fright, lost her
foothold and fell into the water.
Chaj-Jie (lower was some distance
away* and when he came to the place
and realized what had happened the
little girl had sunk twice, coming up
each time gasping, her soaked hair
tangled over her white, frightened face,
and wide opened, startled eyes, and
had been swept several feet below the
trestle. He plunged in without a moment's
delay with all his clothes and
his shoes on. He is a fairly good
swimmer, and notwithstanding the sudden
shock of the cold water, his own
deadly peril and the consciousness of
the life and death business he was in,
he retained his presence of mind and
went to work with a level head He swam
to the little girl, who was then going
under for the third and last time, gasping
inarticulate cries for help between gulps
of red, muddy water, and seizing her
dress with strong determined hold in one
hand he reached out with the other and
* -w i 1
grasped a piece 01 urnoer auuciieu n> m?:
trestle.
\\ itli a strong, hard pull, threatening
to break his own hold on the timber and
drown them both, he landed the little one j
safely. Then he carried her home to her
grateful father and went to his own home
apparently unconscious that he had done |
something that many grown men would |
have shrunk from and that will be an !
honor to him as long as he lives.
He is a bright eyed, manly fellow who '
likes to play base'ball. But he is modest
and doesn't like to talk about his deed of
yesterday. He thinks that he has done
no more than was proper in the circumstances
and is not disposed "to talk for
publication." He is captain of the McBee
avenue foot ball team, tirst baseman on
the McBee avenue base ball team and a
member of the eighth grade of the city
Central school.?Greenville News.

Denmark Doings,
Denmark, April 23.?"Howdy-do, howdy-do;
how are you and the children too?"
has become a very familiar greeting
among men just recently. In fact, our
town at times seems to be the political
arena of a great host of office-seekers, all
of which very willingly express their
ideas 011 all topics of the day. It is a remarkable
fact that the politicians of todaj'
are well informed. They generally
know all about the family rows of Jones
and Snooks; are well versed in all the
great political issues of the world, and
have just enough Aristotle blood in their
veins to make every voter approached
feel in doubt about the final result of the
- "* a.- ?4.1^
primary, i ney are a cjever sei ui gamemen.
Denmark welcomes them all, but
will hail with true delight that man who
is best qualified to take care of the interests
of the people.
The Denmark base ball team is puttftig
in some good practice. The bo\? may
not be able to defeat every team challenged,
but* it is hoped that by practice they
can play'good ball, the only essential
which gives pleasure to spectators.

in the establishing of a special school
district which will at once place the

ftold in the Philipines.
Helena, Mont., Apr. 2o ?Writ'ng to a
Montana friend, a former member of 'the
Montana volunteers grows enthusiastic
over the outlook in the Philipines as regards
gold mining. The writer, who is a
practical miner, in pari says:
'"There is absolutely no reason to doubt
; that the placer mines of Luzon and Mindano
islands and some parts of Cebu arc
among the richest in the world, easy of
access and no hardships to be encountered
in reaching them as soon as the military
government permits miners to enter
them. Quartz mining is wholly undeveloped,
but very rich specimens carrying
free milling gold have been brought in.
However, few well defined veins have
been discovered as me cuuuiry is purely.'
Specimens brought in recently
have run as high as $65,000 to the tbn in
copper and gold.
"The rich deposits in Luzon are about
seventy miles north and east of Dagupan.
There Is abundandant water power for
sluicing and hydraulicing. The native
women in that country pan the alluvial
sands with wooden bowls, frequently
panning out $6 to $5 per day in gold.
Philipine gold goes about $14 to the
ounce. The rivers are lined with block
and (magnetic iron) carrying tine gold.
The gold is not only tlaky, but small
rough nuggets. Bedrock averages from
six inches to twenty feet."
A large number of ex-California and
Montana volunteers are outfitting at Dagupan
to make the rush as soon as permitted
to enter the fields.

came up and consequently the audience
was small. "After my lecture," said Artemus,
"I ventured to suggest to the chairman
of the committee that the elements
having been against me that evening, I
might repeat my talk later on in the seasou.

Robert M. Wallace, the new collector j

the caprtol yesterday.
Wallafce, who is a tall southerner of
typical appearance, succeeds a man named
Tolbert, who lost his position and a lot of
fine whiskey at.the same time. It seems j
that he had started a "blind ti^er," as they
call it in Charleston, in the custom house,,
where it was supposed that the State officers
could not find the Hquoy. When
danger of discovery threatened, the whiskey,
rum, punch and other beverages
were emptied into^i drain and ought to
have found their way into the bay. Instead
of making the Charleston shrimps
intoxicated, the liquor ran into the cus
torn house cistern ana presently mere was
a "high ball" pf 80,000 gallons. This led
to an investigation and eventually to a
new collector of customs.
Col. Wallace laughed yesterday as he
told the story of the liquor and the cis-,
tern, and prpmised that no such wholesale
waste of good stuff would occur under

Overworked Nerves
and wasting vitality make their pre**
nee known through headaches,
dizziness, inability to sleep, less or
appetite and a general run-down condition
of the system. These signs
are sometimes accompanied by neuralgia,
hysteria, rheumatism or nervous
prostration in some other form.
To remove these troubles, cure the
nerves. They need feeding, strengthening
and building up, and nothing
will do this so auicklyand so surely
as Dr. Miles' Nervine. This truly
remarkable medicine is gaining hundreds
of new friends every day. Here
is a surveyor from Decatur, Ind.,
Mr. G. E. McKean, who writes:

my physician was unable to overcome,
so wore on my nervous system
that I broke down with nervous prostration.
I could not sleep day or
night except in fitful naps; could
scarcely eat any kind of food and
wasted away to a mere shadow.
After spending over $500.00 in a vain search
for relief, I was prevailed
upon to try Dr. Miles' Nervine. Relief
came immediately. I took six
bottles and today am a well man."
Dr. Miles' Nervine is sold at all
druggists on a positive guarantee.
