The Carlisle Fitting SchooJ Visits
Orangeburg. * ,
Two weeks ago last Saturday the baseball
team of the Orangeburg College ac- <
companiedbv about forty of the students <
came to Bambevg to play with the team i
of the Carlisle Fitting School a match <
game of baseball. This entire body of i
students, with exception of a teacher and '
perhaps a student or two, .was entertain- '
ed hospitably and in the very best man- i
ner until time for the game of ball. Din- ]
ner was served at the hall at 1 o'clock, so i
as enable the game to be finished in time i
for the boys to return home .on the 5.33 i
train.
The game Mas played in*the best of
' * ? ?\ <>aKn ? /? i
spirit unu nuiiiur, uui mc viangcuuig >
boys were no match for the team of the i
Fitting School. The game was called at i
the end of the fifth inning on account of j
a crippled finger of the Orangeburg catch- i
er. The score then stood 20 to 9 in favor <
of the Fitting School.. ]
Arrangements-were made f<?r the boys ]
of the Fitting School to return the visit
and cross bats in the near future again, i
Saturday, the 12th inst., was appointed as i
the time for the game. Accordingly the
Fitting School team, accompanied by a
goodly number of students and friends,
boarded the train for Orangeburg. On
their arrival they found the 0. C. boys on
a picnic; but the captain of the school
team was notified that the game would
have to be played in time for them tc return
on the afternoon train. About 2 1
o'clock the 0. C. boys began to talk about
not being able to play until 4 o'clock, and
that if the Fitting School boys would stay
oyer until the next day they would give
them a game at 4.30 o'clock. The Fitting <
School team was unwilling to stay and
demauded the game in time to return.
At 3 o'clock they were not ready to play,
and infoftned the captain that they could
not play. The C. F. S. team claimed the
game 9 to 0 iu their favor and disbanded.
There were several considerations
which made them unwilling to stay over
in Orangeburg. The next day was Sunday
and Head Master Willis was not willing
for thorn to remain over night and
return on Sunday. The boys themselves
had received such indifferent treatment
that they were not willing to remain.
They had gotten nothing at all to eat except
as they went to a boarding hfcuse or
hotel and paid for their dinner. Dinner
was served out at the picnic, a mile from
town, and at such a late hour that they
could nof remain and be ready for the
expected gaiue^of ball. The team and
their friends returned on the afternoon
train utterly disgusted with the day's^ex-.
perience. It was quite a disappoiutraeht
for they expected to win a great victory,
but they found only disappointment in a
complete back down on the part of the
opposing team.

FARMERS AM) THEIR FARMS.
What a Stuff Correspondent of The
Herald Saw and Heard Along the
County's Highways and Byways.
At The "New Bkibck, May 15.
Just as we had finished tying out our
horses and were preparing to make a
careful inspection of the causeway and
other approaches to the Cannon Bridge,
a man rode tip and after accosting the
Supervisor by name began to abuse him
for a catalogue of sins of omission and
commission in connection with his work
on the bridge so long that it would take
all my space to even enumerate them.
Mr. Kearse listened to the fellow's har-1
rangue in patience, and, although his |
charges were the rankest sort of 11011-1
? 0 I
sense, and his plans for the improvement!
of the bridge approach as improbable as I
the building of an electric railway to the
moon, the Supervisor managed to preserve
his good nature. At length when
the man's abuse became rather too personal,
he laughed in a suspiciously mirthless
sort of way and declared:
"My friend, when vou come at me like i
I
a circular saw you are pretty sure to
strike a knot that will knock out some of
your teeth!"
This implied covert threat stopped!
the abuse and with a mumbled apol- J
ogy the fellow mounted his wagon aud
drove off. When he was out 01 neanng
the Supervisor turned to me and said:
"That's a fair sample of what a man
has to take from the people he is striving
his best to serve. I know that my
work is not perfect, and that I sometimes
make mistakes, but I try to do my duty
to the best of my ability and when a man
attacks my integrity as that fellow did? j
and this is not the first time, for he makes !
it a point to abuse me every time wej
meet?I get riled."
Then, falling into a reminiscent mood,
he began to tell me anecdotes of his ex- j
perience as County Supervisor. His adrentures
have taken a. wide rauge, and i
run all the way from the broad depths of j
farce corned)' to the narrow and perilous
heighths of possible tragedy. One of his
itories was highly amusing:
"If you will look up the law," he said,
'you will find that Section 1160 of the
Revised Statutes reads as follows: 'It
shall be the duty of the County Supervisors,
iu their respective counties, to
cause all roads heretofore laid out, #r
hereafter to be laid out, leading directly
from any part of this State to Charleston,
Georgetown, Columbia, Camden,
Hamburg or Cheraw, to be made or cleared
thirty feet wide, and all other roads
shall be cleared twenty feet wide? Well,
sir, it was because I was only partially
carrying out the first part of the provisions
of this section that the trouble arose. I
The chain gang was working not far from
where we now are on the old Charleston
and AugBsla telegraph road, which the
law specifically declares shall be laid out
thirty feet wide. Once it was a much
travelled highway, but the railroads have
caused it to degenerate into a mere neighborhood
thoroughfare in many places.
Farmers had for years planted their crops
down to the very edge of the two gulleys
made by the wagon wheels. I determined
to lay the road off twenty feet
and pike it with the road machine. The
Kor/tltr hotmiri wnrlr wlipn the
IUCU lie?O""
owner of the land on both sides of the
road, came down upon us in a towering
passion:
"'Stop! Get off my land!' he commanded,
white with rage. 'I forbid you
to trespass on my property!'
"I attempted to explain to him that
what we were doing was for bis benefit,
but he wouldn't listen to me.
"'Yofl've got to stop right where are,'
he bellowed. 'I've been planting that
land for the last twenty-five years, and if
you tear it up with your old machines I'll
have the law on you. I'll appeal to the
Governor of the State, sir, if necessary,
and will see if a man can't be protected
in his rights!'
"'Look, here, sir!' I cried, for I was
beginning to get a little vexed. 'I am
only doing what the law gives me authority
to do. In fact, sir, I'm only taking a
portion of tbe land that the road is entitled
to.'
" 'And when he still blustered, and
fumed, and threatened I pulled out the
law and showed him plainh" that I could
take' fifteen feet on each side from the
centre of the road, instead of ten which
I was laying out to take. Then he simered
down and apologized. His is not
by any means an isolated case, either.
Men plow and plant right down to the
wagon ruts, and when we attempt to reclaim
and lay off a legal highway they
kick about it and threaten all sorts of dire
things. Take that fellow who has just
left us, for instance. If you will remember,
he laid great stress on what he did
to make the approaches to Cannon's
bridge travelable when he was an overseer
and had charge of the work. Last
summer I came down here with the gang
and laid off a new approach. I worked
on it until every one of my hands were
down with the fever. It isn't a perfect
road oy any manner 01 means, uui n is?
the foundation for a good roatl. The
spring freshets have washed away a great
deal of the earth that we put on the
causeways, but it won't require so very
much labor to repair the damage, and
when I take up the work again, I intend
to raise the roadbed to a height that will
preclude all future 'washes' when the
river js up. In the meantime," and the
Supervisor laughed drily "and pointed to
the water covered bed of the old road, "if
the new road is a little too rough for sensitive
gentlemen, like our friend yonder,
he can stick to the old roadbed which is
neither better nor^vorse than it has been
for the past one hundred years."
The chain gang is now in the lower
part of the county at work upon roads
that have never been worked before.
Sometime this summer they will get back
- ^ i "vr l .1 ?
10 me v^annun aim uuugi-s, anu put.
the approaches to both in thorough repair.
"It is mv ambition," continued the Supervisor,
"to finish up this work as the
crowning effort of my administration.
During my term of office I have been seriously
handicapped, and it is only lately
that we have got things so systematized
that the best results can be obtained. If
we had secured the mandatory three mill
special tax in the Bamberg school district,
which Senator Mayfielcf got for the
Denmark school district, enough money
* <
v
would have been obtained to put the
Cannon and New bridge roads in thorough
repair. What has delayed the work
has been lark of funds. Our appropriation
is very small and it would take an
entire years' allotment to do the work
that is necessary. And it is necessary.
The merchants of Bamberg would draw
a heavy yearly trade from this portion of
J Orangeburg county if these bridge roads
were all right. Bamberg is the natural
trade centre of a large and rich section
of country. The increase in business
that would accrue to the town if the
Orangeburg farmers could safely and
easily cross the river would pay lor every
| dollar that it will be necessary to expend
j upon the two roads. I was in hopes we
J would get the mandatory three mill tax,
] which would have enabled me to put the
' bridge aimroaches in a condition of last
** * *
ing repair. Failure to.secure this as they
did at Deumark was a grave mistake."
We had reached the bridge which dii
vides the two counties during this con!
versation, and, as I've only half said my
j say, and have about reached my space
limit I'll wait for a further ride upon my
"hobby horse" until my next letter still
"camping" at the New bridge where the
fish are abundant and the mosquitoes not j
very bad.

Intense suffering was endured by witness
T. L. Martin, of Dixie, Ky., before
he gave this evidence: "I coughed every
nigiit. until my throat was nearly raw;
then tried Dr. King's New Discoverv
which gave instant relief. I have used it I
in-tny family for four years and recommend
it as the great est remedy for coughs,
colds, and all throat, chest and lung troubles.
It will stop the worst cough, and
not only prevents hut absolutely cures

Appreciation from Mr. drum.
Editor The Bamberg Herald:?I
have read with a great deal of pleasure
aud gratification, the very complimentary
resolutions pa^ed by the county convention,
and ask space in your valued paper
to express to the people ray high appreciation
of the honor they have conferred
upon me, and for the confidence express
ed in the resolfttion.
I have always had the welfare of my
county and State at heart, and have done
the best I could to serve them in my
feeble way. It is indeed gratifying to
know that what little I have accomplished
is appreciated by the people who have
honored me so highly.
I would have been very glad to have
met with them at the convention, but as
mv predecessor have been criticised for
using the dispensary in politics, I thought
it was best for me and the dispensary
that 1 should not take any active part in
politics.
My highest purpose in life is to merit
the high honors conferred oh me and to
deserve the confidence the people have
reposed in me.
Please express my high appreciation
and thanks, I remain, '
Your obedient servant,
H. H. Crum.

OBITUARY.
?
On the morning of May the 7th the
spirit of lovely Annie Ehrhardt passed
away to the home of the angels. As a
pure, white floweu of the early spring
gladdens by its beauty and sheds its perfume
on all within its circle, then fades
away, so this gentle maiden has fuliilled
her mission of love, and the Savior now
claims His jewel. Her life of eighteen
years had been spent within an atmosphere
of happiness, and devoted parents
had accorded her such golden advantages
that to a gifted mind she has added rich
rich gleanings from the vintage of books.
They felt assured that such culture would
equip their darling for the battle of life,
though the vacrnt chair is a sad reminder
of cherished hopes now blighted. May
the stricken hearts of father, mother anil
idolized sister realize that their lovely
flower has been transplanted to the heavenly
garden there to bloom in perennial
beauty. For her the book of life has
closed, the volume of eternity has opened,
and as leaf after leaf of its glorious mysteries'are
unrolled to her view, the glorified
spirit would not wish a return to its
tenement. ,
She is not dead, the child of our affection,
But gone unto that school
Where she no longer needs our poor protection,
And Christ Himself doth rule ;
For that great cloister's stillness and seclusion
By guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation, safe from sin's pollution,
She lives whom we call dead.
A Fkiexd.
