them, and Warren should insist on a
trial.

Taking Census.
The census enumerators will commence
their canvass next week and their time is
limited in which to do the work. Many
of the questions will be of such nature as
to provoke short answers from the citizens,
but you must not get hot under the
collar. It is their duty and they should
f be treated courteously. Uncle Sam wants
> to and is going to know the truth, the
j whole truth and nothing but the truth, so

Bamberg county is to get some more (
uoney from the dispensary school fund.
Comptroller General Dermain has at last T

chool fund under the act relating to the c

chool fund. The grand total is $19,*62.36.

:ounties according to their enrollment. a
Bamberg gets from the deficiency fund
?464.25, and Treasurer Joe Dickinson 8
ast Tuesday morning received a receipt 1

Foolish Fortune.
Washington, May 22.?The general
conference of the A. M. E. Zion church
j closed yesterday. The principal subject
was the report submitted by John C.
Daucey on the state of the country, which
dealt principally with the work of the
negroes since the war. It extolled the
bravery of the negro soldiers in Cuba
and the Pliillippines, pointed to the strides
made by the colored race along industrial
and professional lines, condemned the
proposition to take away the franchise of
illiterate negroes and allow illiterate
whites to vote, denounced crimes against
j.; * , rina
women and wronguoiugui c?ci_j amu.
Editor Thomas Fortune of the New
York Age, speaking with reference to
that portion of the report relating to negro
suffrage, denounced Senator Tillman
of South Carolina. It had cost tons of
blood and money, he said, to place the
Fifteenth amendment in the constitution,
and it would cost tons of blood and money
to get it out. .

Picnic at Eagle Pond.
Tlie Govan Graded School gave its annual
picnic at Eagle Pond on Saturday
last, and the pupils with their friends and
parents spent a most enjoyable day. The j
young people?in couples?talked liotany
and other things, as they strolled about
under the trees or boated on the lake,
while the elders discussed politics and
crops and made preparations for dinner,
, which was a bountiful one.
Before the collation was served that
prince of Master of Ceremonies. Holland
M. Kennedy, mounted a wagon, and in
his own inimitable way introduced in
succession Lawyer James E. Davis, of
Barnwell; Dr. J. B. Black, of Bamberg,
and Magistrate E. T. LaFitte, of Den- ,
mark, who made acceptable'addresses. |
After dinner there was speaking by Geo. 1
W. Symonds and Mr. R. MeLendon, prin- 1
cipal of the school. \

An Aged Negro. i
The oldest inhabitant of Orangeburg f
i
county, and probably the oldest in the ,
State, died last Wednesday night a week i
ago at his home, near Branchville. He
Was an old colored man named Sibe Joyner.
He was born in 1784, one year after
the treaty was signed recognizing Ameri- a
can independence and was 15 years old i
when Washington died, and is the only
person in this country, so far as we know, v
who has lived in every Presidential Ad- i
ministration of the American Republic. 1
He lacked but a few months of living in
three distinct centuries, and according "
to some authorities, he actually did live s
in three distinct centuries. The old man
always voted the Democratic ticket aud
was respected by his neighbors. He was t<
married several times and it is said that
tie left forty-seven children surviving
tiim and a legion of grand and great- a
grandchildren. The above facts were
furnished by a gentleman who lived near
;he old man.?Orangeburg Patriot. jj

A resolution was offered commending
senator Tillman for his course in confess,
and was about to be passed, when
-j. W. Youmans, of Barnwell, took the 0
loor and proceeded to make a red-hot j;
peech against Tillman, in the midst
vhich he was called down by Chairman
Itevenson, and the speech was not finishid.
The resolution was then adopted,
Cj
flr. Youmans being the only member ^
roting against it. A Howard Patterson w
hen assured the convention that Mr. F
foumans did not represent the people of
Jarnwell county in his remarks. o,
Afterwards Senator Tillman was called p

rention. . **

Colored Graded School. p
After a successful term of about seven
nonths, under the efficient instruction of
5. W. Moore, the principal, and his
vorthy assistant, Miss Carrie August, the
Samberg colored graded school began its
dosing exercises last Sunday night. The
educational sermon was preached by the
ible pastor of the M. E. Church, (colored) ^
Rev. W. G. Valentine. The words of his ai
,ext were: "My people are destroyed ti
ior lack of knowledge," which was very P
ibly expounded. j1
Monday night the young men gave a d
reception at the colored hall in honor of f<
the teachers of the school and their lit- ^
ting work, which was largely attended C(

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 t
warrant the belief. It has never been t
claimed that Chamberlain's Pain Balm ?
would cast out demons, but it will cure <
rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony 1
to the truth of this statement. Oue ap- j
plication relieves the pain, and this quick s
relief which it affords is alone worth ?
many times its cost. For sale by all drug- (

made that the last named commissioi
would not meet again soon. A letter wa:

A Long Island nurseryman has undertaken
the experiment of raising flowers

lighting of his greenhouses during the

ratio. When such experiments are made

are disastrous. The Long Island

Aii Incident in Court.
The Owensboro (Kyi) Inquirer relates
i good joke that occurred at Calhoon
ast week, in Judge Owen's court. A case
vas on trial, and the judge was being
vorried by a young man who kept movng
about in the rear of the court room,
ifting chairs and looking under benches.
"Young man," Judge Owen called,
you are making a great deal of unnecesary
noise. What are you about?"
"Your honor," replied the young man,
I have lost my overcoat and "am trying
d lind it."
"Well," said the judge, "people often
>ose whole suits in here without making
II that disturbance."

Advertise Right.
By using the right kind of printed matsr
and the right kind of announcements
i papers, you can surround a store with
le atmosphere of catering to a good class
f ready-paying ctfc>>mers, as can be seen
i almost any town; one can take a easal
glance and tell who advertises and
ho does not. Always advertise what
on will do, then live up to it. Deceptive
iid untruthful statements are wrong in
very sense and will drive away yourcus>mers,
and justly so.

Summer Sclieol for White
Teachers.
Office of
County Superintendent Education,
Bamberg County,
Bamberg, S. C., May 23d, 1900.
Pursuant to instructions from State
Superintendent of Education John J.
McMahan, the summer school for the
white teachers of Bamberg county will
be held in the city of Bamberg, (possibly
at the Carlisle Fitting School) commencing
on Monday, July 16th, and continuing
until Saturday, August 11th. The instructors
will l>e: J. Arthur Wiggins,
principal of the Denmark graded school,
and S. W. Reeves, now at Cornell University.
The courses will be arithmetic,
algebra, history, geography, and English.
I earnestly desire that Bamberg's summer
school this year be a great success.
To this end I want the co-operation of
every teacher in the county. Last year
the .attendance was not near so. large as
it should have been, and I hope and expect
to see every white teacher of the
county present ever}' day this year. It is
useless for the State to throw away
money to provide these schools unless
the teachers will appreciate them enough
to attend. I feel sure the hospitable citizens
of Bamberg will assist in entertaining
those u ho attend the school.
