Thursday, May 17,1900. . ___ _ ~ County conventions all over the State endorsed the present method of campaigning the State. We felt sure the people wanted the meetings. The election to decide whether a three mill tax shall be levied to support a graded school in this town will be held on Thursday, May 31st.. Every citizen who has the good of the town at heart should vote for the tax. Senator Clark, of Montana, who was to have been turned out of the U. S. Senate, has forestalled the action of that body by resigning. His friend, the acting gov . . ernor of Montana, has appointed him to till the vacancy. It remains to be seen what the outcome of the matter will be. The idea of a State appropriation to the Charleston Exposition is one that should be fought by the tax payers. And it will be. The question will no doubt be agitated in the campaign this summer, . and candidates required to state from the stumps whether, if elected, they will vote fe , for such an appropriation. JL The proper authorities should put a stop to the habit of plowing into the public roads. In many places parties plow into the public highways, leaving H * only a track wide enough for vehicles, * and into this they too often run their plows, thereby making the roads very unY comfortable for travellers. V Bamberg must have a first-clas^ free" graded school. To this end, let everybody work and vote for the three-mill tax at the election soon to be held. The sal? vation of the town demands a good free school, and every citizen who wants Bam? berg to keep pace'with other t^wns of wry the State, should vote for the school. safety '' The unprovoked killing of a young white man by an insolent jxegro in a street - car in Augusta last Sunday afternoon is Yy said to be the result of not having separate gy apartments for the races, although the law ? , required it. The South Carolina railroad i&: Y trains only are required to carry separate cars, we believe, but the law should be extended to tne street cars, Dusses, nacss, and all public conveyances of any kind whatsoever. The crowding of whites : and blacks into a public vehicle too often subjects passengers to the irritation of ? v contending with insolent negroes, and we pf hope the next legislature will enact a law |p: requiring that the races be kept separate on public conveyances, of any kind. ? " - These are the days when the would-be ?L-;/ statesman and politician attempts to "bilk" the country newspapers out of a lot of free advertising. This paper has p ; had several candidates for State offices to : inform us more than once already that they are candidates, etc. But no word as I I to their race has been mentioned in these ' - columns, nor will be. We are not in'the business of running a newspaper for the benefit of two-for-a-quarter politicians, and when they want ad vertising they will have to pay for it. "Communications of ;'V. a personal nature are charged for as regular advertising," and those interested might as well remember that this is an invariable rule of this office. \ TO PROTECT FISH. The Orangeburg county grand jury has also taken cognizance of the flagrant V violations of law and the consequent wholesale slaughtering of fish in the Edisto. In their final presentment last ~ week we fipd the following: "We" beg leave to call the particular attention of this honorable court to a petition handed to the grand jury requesting that some action would be ftaken in regard to the wholesale destruction of fish by all kinds of vices, traps, nets and sheeting, and we have examined several jvitnesses and find there is just cause for complaint, and would respectfully ask that this honorable court would instruct the proper parties to enforce the law in regard to this unlawful destruction of fish. We respectfully hand to the Solicitor the petition and the evidence handed ^ to us." Violators of the law can be punished and the traps broken up if our people will but use the proper effort. Let every man onrvAir?f Kimonlf o AAmmiffnn rvf Ann PI1B411A t? V UUUO^ll a i.lfimm VI VUV to see that the law is enforced. fVv *v . /* Pensions and Schools. All the counties have now officially reported the deficiencies in the school fund to the comptroller general and the comptroller will forthwith take all steps preliminary to the disbursement of the dispensary profits to the credit of the school r fund. Before the warrants go, however, receipts have to be sent for county officials to sign and return. ?The comptroller is also ready to begin . " the disbursement of the State pension fund. The same system as to receipts will prevail, and these will be sent out before the end of the week. .County i clerks of courts and pensioners will aid in the rapid payment of the pension money by attending to the signing of these receipts promptly.?The State. ? ^ The Georgia Primary. Atlanta, Ga., May 15.?Democratic white primaries were held throughout Georgia today, for the choice of United States senator, congressmen from the 11 districts, governor end other State house officials, members of the general assembly and many judges and county officers. The legislature elected today insures return of United States Senator Bacon and returns now in insure the reelection of the entire Georgia delegation in the house of representatives.

Denmark, May 15.?Farmers of this section are busy putting crops in good * condition, making ready for the harvest- i ing of the fine grain crop. Cool nights ] have checked the growth of cotton some- i what and bud worms are playing havoc : with corn. Taking all these disadvan- i tages into consideration, the present crop cannot be made as cheap as usual, but i the farmers are expecting good prices. 1 The man of merit is fast coming to" the front. The people of this section have ' their hearts and minds fixed upon highest ideals of government, and propose to cast their ballot for that candidate in ' whom they believe the honest demands : of the people can be entrusted. Mr. G. A. Goolsby has given out the contract for building a large store which he expects to rent. There has been a v v/uDtaiu viviii<win i\u ouvii . There is also a demand for cottages. Mrs. J. D..Miliums and children were thrown from a buggy Monday evening and were badly bruised. The horse was frightened by someone trying to raise an umbrella. Confederate soldiers of this community are discussing the approaching reunion at Louisville, Kentucky. Some will probably attend. The place of meeting this year is of special interest to most soldiers, since it is the blue grass region of our South-land, and during the war very little opportunity was offered to visit the city. The game of ball between Bamberg and Denmark Monday evening was very poor. The sun must have been too hot for the boys. Der Unterzeichner. Escape from the Press-Gang. When war was declared against Great Britain in 1812 the American rallying cry was," No'impressment." The motive for this may be gathered from an incident related in Dr. Marshall's biography of Commodore Macdonough, U. S. N. Macdonough was at the time captain of the brig Gulliver, from New York to Liverpool, and on t*he evening preceding her departure from Liverpool, was on shore. A stranger approached him and asked if he belonged to any vessel in the harbor. The instant that the captain named the i- ~ i WUiliVCr 11C ?<? sunuuuueu auu scum by the press-gang, who took him on board an English frigate. The commanding officer of the frigate paid no attention to the American's objections to this indignity, but ordered him forward. Macdonough had to obey. He was shortly commanded to "turn in," and going below, he hung up a hammock and turned in without undressing. About midnight the corporal of the guard took the hammock next to his. Waiting until the corporal was asleep, our captain rose, dpffed his clothes, and put on those of the British officer. Then coolly climbed the ladder and walked out on the spar deck, to the ship's side. "Sentry," said he, "what boat is that at the bOom?" "The second cutter sir," was the reply. The natural tone of the sentry's answer gave Macdonough renewed confidence, and he boldly walked up to the officer of the deck, and touching his cap, said: "I would like to overhaul the second cutter, sir, I think there is rum aboard her." "Very well, corporal," answered the officer, "search the boat and see what you can find." The captain \rent quickly forward, sprang out through the port upon' the swinging boom, and dropped into the cutter. As quick as thought he cut the rope that secured her, and the flood tide setting strong up the river, he quickly dropped astern. "Help, help!" he shouted, "the boat's loose!" "Get out the oars!" responded the officer of the deck. "You can hold her against the tide." Macdonough got the oars, and before his nnvnnra M-oc thp Pllf tpr WAS SOTIl P 11CW X VUitfJVVt v**v vv?wvw? .. ??.- ? distance up the river, and he was pulling with all his might at the oars. The sentries discharged their muskets at him but the captain made good his escape and regained his own ship. "I'll make the English pay for this!" he said; and he kept his word. Manures vary so greatly as to make it difficult to estimate their value. When a large proportion of coarse foods is fed, with but a limited amount of grain, the manure may not be worth the cost of spreading it, unless on a field very near the barnyard.. The average value of one ton of ordinary stable manure, which includes the materials mixed with that voided by the animals, is $2, and the cost depends upon the hauling, as well as the loading and spreading. Such work requires a man and two horses, and unless the manure has been well decomposed the loading and spreading may be tedious work. Considering the time of hauling fr^in livery stables to the barnyard, it may make the cost of such manure more than its value. If the distance is great, as the manure must be loaded on the wagon, thrown out into the heap at the barnyard, and again loaded on the wagon and hauled to the field to be spread. At a value of but $2 per ton it will pay fanners to purchase fertilizers in preference to buying from livery stables, and especially when the manure consists mostly of straw.?Home and Farm. The general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church (Northern branch) has passed unanimously the provision giving equal representation to the laity, a question that lias agitated the church for many years. A serious strike is now on at St. Louis among the street railroad employees, and as a result every street car in St. Louis is laid up. This has resulted in great loss not only to the railroads, but to evenbranch of business, and the situation is more grave, because collisions are occurring between the strikers and those desiring to take their places. It is how settled that MoKinley and Bryan win be the Republican and Democratic nominees for President, but both parties are at sea as to the nominees for Vice President, and many "booms'' are being started for men who have attained no prominence in national affairs. A young man who was being examined preparatorv to his joining the church was aSKt'U : "UnuCT w Iiust- j?ieiicuiiig were j you converted?" "Under nobody's preaching. I was converted under mv mother's practicing." Remember this, mothers. ?mm? I The housefly has arrived; in fact a good many of him.

Last Sunday afternoon on a crowded street car in Augusta a young negro lamed Wilson shot and killed a premium t young society man of that city lamcd Aleck Whitney. The killing was 111 unprovoked murder, Whitney merely resisting the attempt.of a companion of Wilson's to sit in a crowded seat with dim, whereupon Wilson shot him. A mob lynched the negro Monday morning. The citizens of Augusta place much of the blame for the killing upon the street railway company, who did not obey the law requiring'them to have separate accommodations for white and**olored pas senders.

Senator Tillman's bill removing the naval station from Port Royal to Charleston has passed the Senate, and it will doubtless go through the House, though Congressman Elliott is violently opposed to it. Should the bill finally become a law it will mean a great deal to Charleston and the practical destruction of Port Royal as a great Southern port. The naval station at Port Royal has never been popular with navy officers. The blasting of the hopes of Port Royal the people of Beaufort contend will also ruin the aspirations of their city. They sent a strong delegation to Washington to prevent the passage of the Tillman amendment, but without avail.

The ancients believed that rheumatism was the work of a demon within a man. Any one who has had an attack of sciatic or inflammatory rheumatism will agree that the infliction is demoniac enough to warrant the belief. It has nerer been claimed that Chamberlain'k Pain Balm would cast out demons, but it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony to the truth of this statement. One application relieves the pain, and this quick relief which it affords is alone worth many times its cost. For sale by all druggists and mediciue dealers. Sentenced to Death. Richmond, Va., May 15.?At ^lartinsville today Charles Hairston, the negro indicted for attempting criminal assault upon Miss Gauldin, was tried, convicted and sentenced to be hanged on June 20. * The evidence was conclusive. Tift; militia formed a cordon around the court house square and none were permitted to enter the court room except court officials, witnesses, reporters and lawyers in the case. The crowd was orderly. The onl3' incident of the day was the disarming of Miss Gauldin's father in the presence of the court. A noted semi-ecclesiastical character has passed away in Mr. Sagar, better known as "Old Sagar,'' who was sexton of Halifax Parish Church, in England. Sagar once wrongly grouped some wedding parties, with the result that an aged couple, who had no intention of getting married, were joined together in holy matrimony. When toM of it, he remarked : "They haven't long to live; so it don't matter very much." On another occasion, "Old Sager," with true Yorkshire shrewdy ness, locked up the bride until the bridegroom produced the marriage fees, the sum rendered at the conclusion of the ceremony being insufficient. i ? Archbishop Temple, of Canterbury is always made impatient of bores, especially of clerical bores. One of the clergy of his diocese who had pestered him a good deal recently wrote an inordinately long letter describing a picture which he proposed to put in the chancel of the church, and asking permission to do so. By the time his grace reached the end of the epistle his patience was quite exhausted, and he replied on a postcard: "Dear Blank?Hang the picture!" The clergyman is still wondering how he ought to regard the reply. Bishop J. S. Key wrote: Teethina (Teething Powders) was more satisfactory than anything we ever used. The Profits Increase. At a recent meeting of the State Board of directors they decided to reduce the invoice price of liquor to dispensers. This will not affect the retail prices, but trtlL reduce the annual amount to the credit of the general school fund by $75,000. At the same time the profits to the towns and counties will be increased. The Herald is at present turning out some as fine Job Printing as can be had anywhere and at regular city prices.

The Paris exposition still claims first attention in the magazines, and The Delineator gives, in the June number, a lightly drawn but graceful and entertaining pen picture of the opening-day ceremonies, followed by a short description of the fair as it presents itself to the eye" from various coigns of vantage. Eliot Gregory includes in his paper an interesting resume of French fairs. The large and important part which American women have taken in the fair reflects great credit on the nation and on the various indi viuuais, emus aim who hum; worked so hard to give proper representation to the arts and crafts of womankind. Seventeen of the most noted members of the American commission and others who have been prominent in the movement are shown in connection with Waldon Faweett's article in the June Delineator.

Sam Jones is credited with the following story, which illustrates one of the many amusing scenes in the court room. A negro was arraigned forborne misdemeanor, and the presiding judge asked him if he had counsel to represent him. He asked the judge what that was. The judge replied, "nave you a lawyer 10 attend to your case?" "No," said the negro, "I don't need no lawyer." "What are you going to do? Are you going to defend yourself and be your own attorney?" "No," he said, "Marse Judge, I'm just going to throw myself on the ignorance of the court." How's This.
