The State executive committee did the right thing in regard to mud slinging by candidates, but the pity of it is that such action should be necessary. It certainly reflects anything but credit on political j speeches in South Carolina. Have you the interest of Bamberg at heart ? If you have then patronize her merchants to the exclusion of all other . merchants. Do not send your money to Charleston, Augusta, New York or other places for anything you can buy in Bamberg. Patronize your own banks, maI chine shops, wood shops, printing office, etc., in preference to others, especially if $ you get just as good work at as low figures. Patronize home industry, anyway, if you want to build up your town. While we belive our people made a mistake in defeating the, special tax of three mills for the Bamberg graded school, we are glad that there is a strong rantiment among the opposition ki favor cs a smaller levy. A tax of H mills will no doubt*be voted, and this will benefit the school a great deal. A half loaf is better than no loaf at all, and we are sincerely glad that the school is to get some help. This paper will always be found ~ - on the side of good free common schools. 1-] Although several newspapers of the State have taken us to task about our opposition to a State appropriation to the Charleston exposition, most of them have :' . been polite in their remarks. Only a few have attempted to be "smart". These Z&t few seem incapable of making an argu ment, and have tried to be "funny." We ?p oppose such an appropriation as a matter |: of principle?not in any spirit of criticismof Charleston, politically or other,. X-. wise?and cannot be driven from our poI": sition. , m There is to be a general primary this : ? - summer, and, as it will cost nothing and be no trouble to speak of, we suggest h:' that the question of a State appropriation to the Charleston Exposition be voted on ? = by the people. It will be a very easy ', matter to arrange a ballot box for this Era, purpose at the primary, and if the people |k|^ are willing for the appropriation, this newspaper will be well satisfied. This is not a personal fight with us. We believe 'fi. a large majority of the people of the State are against an appropriation, and v we are endeavoring to represent the taxpayers. An election on the question will settle the matter, and the people have a ^ - v right to say how their money shall be W' *spent. How aboufit, you gentlemen and newspapers who favor the appropriation ? fe > The Eagle's Heart. Mr. Hamlin Garland's most recent - work is a vigorous story of Western life, entitled The Eagle's Heart. In this brilv liant story he draws a remarkably strong v; picture of the adventurous life in cow/ towns and mining settlements, and-shows | every phase of the aggressive existence (of miner, plainsman and cowooy. An absorbing love story is skillfully" woven into the fabric of peril and adventure. Hie Eagle's Heart, superblv illustrated by Mr. Harrison Fisher, will"begin in the J Saturday Evening Post for June 16, and run through the summer numbers of, the magazine. The State Campaign. Things are being gotten into shape for the opening of the State campaign on the 14th inst. In response to Col. Jones' request a number of the candidates have already filed their pledges and paid their assessments.

Denmark, June 4.?The closinsr exercises of the Lee's graded school took I place last Thursday and Friday evenings. IA large, enthusiastic audience greeted each performance and were highly enter- < tained by the carefully trained pupils that rendered the parts. The program for I each night was rather long, hut the audi- ' ence seemed entirely contented with the situation, and received the final good night song with as much interest and appreciation as the first song of welcome. The program consisted of songs, dialogues, speeches, and pantomimes, all of which were excellently rendered. Friday evening Mr. J. Arthur Wiggins, principal Denmark graded school, addressed the school and patrons, using for his Subject: "Practical things which insure the success of a school." Messrs. Matheny, Matthews, Dykes and Smith contested in declamation for a gold medal. Mr. Smith was successful, although the other declaimers did exceptionally well. At the conclusion of the exercises, by request of a special committee of pupils, Mr. J. A. Wiggins came forward and delivered in appropriate words a beautiful gold chain to W. S. Peterson, principal of the school, and a gold pen to Miss Kirkland, both gifts the token of appreciation from the pupils of each department. During the evening the sum of thirtythree dollars was subscribed, for the pur pose of painting the school building before the fall session begins. The Lee's people are very enthusiastic over their school, its flattering success and its remarkable growth. The trustees are all business men, and take special interest in making the school better each succeeding year. Mr. Peterson and Miss Kirkland have had the confidence and support of patrons for several years, and their work has had an effect which has aroused the whole community in regard to thorough education of children in their midst. Miss May Foster, of Union, S. C., is visiting Mrs. J. Arthur Wiggins. Der Uxterzeichner. Make No Appropriation. We heartily join The Bamberg Herald in opposing an appropriation from the State treasury for the benefit of the Charleston exposition. Of course in doing this we may put ourself in position to be called an "old fogy" but we do not care especially about that. It is entirely too easy already to secure a grab into the public treasury for this, that and the otter scheme, none of which can be of much benefit to the majority of taxpayers. The only legislation that can greatly benefit the masses financially, is such as will keep down the tax levy. We are frequently twitted about high taxes under a reform administration when lower taxes were promised and should be expected. It has been a difficult matter to hold down the rate of taxation even to its present figure; and if the Legislature goes to dipping into the State's coffers to help this, that or the other enterprise, where is the matter to stop ? But we are told that the Exposition will advertise South Carolina and her resources and bring capital hither. Probably so; but there is abundant evidence that South Carolina and her resources are already well known?a fact proven beyond doubt by the constant and steadily increasing influx of capital into this State. This capital, it is well to note, seeks a stronger and better proof of a State's advantages and possibilities than can possihlv he had from an Ext>osition. If Charleston papers and Charleston people had worked as laboriously, eight years ago, to maintain the State's reputation as they did to destroy it, they cou|d come now with much better grace and ask for an appropriation from a public treasury which they had striven desperately to bankrupt. "When the State was fighting to make the railroads pay their tax assessments just as other people did, Charleston was against the State, and her papers and business men threw every obstacle possible in the way of the State's ' legal processes; when, instead of helpiug ; to show up the State in its best light before the financial world, Charleston pa- 1 pers and Charleston people were industriously proclaiming to the world that South Carolina had fallen into the hands of "thugs," "hoodlums," "hayseeds," "featherbrains," "murderers," etc., and that Tillmanism would drive the State into bankruptcy. Why didn't "State : pride" and "love for the dear old State" 1 silence the tongue of slander and stop the pen of defamation at that time ? We do J not like to revert to these unpleasant ! ! recollections, but a sense of duty impels * us to do so. The Exposition will benefit Charleston '' and her people very much; it will benefit \ a considerable number of enterprises in other parts of the State a little, it will 1 benefit the vast majority of tax Pavel's not one cent. For this reason we shall ' oppose taxing the whole State for the 1 special benefit of any particular com- 1 munity. If those in Charleston and 1 other parts of the State, who will benefit 1 by extensive advertisement, will go down ; into their pockets they will not need aid from the State Treasury. rr . i.. :* ( II mxes ure ever iu ue reiiueeu, n is getting time for that happy event to 1 "come offand the only way to secure a reduction is to keep promiscuous hands 1 out of the State's tax money.?Orangeburg Patriot. 1 A Monster Devil Fish < Destroying its victim, is a type of constipation.

' The Columbia Record says: ''Secretary ' of State Cooper Friday purchased a splendid specimen of a turtle which had been f caught in the Congaree river. It was i over a foot in length. He is keeping it alive in water, and as soon as he can obtain some more of them he intends to take them to Branchville, or some other * t place near the Edisto, and put them in the river. The turtle is not often caught by fishermen in the Edisto, while the}' are a regular "haul" in the Congaree. Mr. j Cooper says their plentifulness began ] from two turtles being placed in the river s by General Hampton, and he hopes to ? stock the Edisto so that they will be plen- * tiful in that river. The turtle referred to v is a delicacy which is often offered in city H restaurants." " I Pure blood is full of life and vitality, to and carries vigor to the organs of the I body. Dr. M. A.

[Barnwell People.] Jake Goldberg, who was arrested in Augusta about a year ago, charged with attempting to pass a counterfeit $5 gold coin, was tried in the United States Court on Saturday and acquitted. He returned his family in Barnwell on Monday. Senator Mayfield began harvesting his 300 acre wheat crop on Monday. It turns out superbly. He will sow the stubble to peas and improve the land wonderfully for next year's crops. The yield around Denmark will keep the roller mill busy day and night until next year. A triangular ride on the rail last Thursday from Barnwell by the Southern to Augusta and by the Coast Line to Barnwell again, gave us ocular proof that there is more and better wheat in this section than there has been in many years. If farmers do not change schedule they will surely reach good times in a few more years. Pursuant to the order of the circuit court the Master began on Friday to ascertain the final status of the accounts of the late county treasurer, Capt. A. F. Free. Comptroller General Derham, Solicitor Townsehd, Attorneys John R. Bellinger and Mayfield and ex-Foreman of the Crand Jury, W. T. Walker, were present. The books of the office and report of Expert Wise were put in evidence. The reference stands adjourned until June 6th. A Pleasant Trip. Editor The Bamberg Herald : I have recently passed through a portion of Barnwell county, near Williston, in dnonmomr noiirllknrllaa^ u'hprp 1 llic HUd^UiaiJ U^lguwiuvvu, ? have not visited for several years. Was pleased to meet with a few of my old friends: Capt. Samuel Trotti, former auditor of Barnwell county; hearing that he was quite sick, called to see him. Having several days of surveying in that section, I called again before leaving and found him much improved and quite ready to talk about former times, as we we had been formerly officially associated in the old county. In early days he was of this section, and there be , those that linger yet upon the "border land" that have a kind regard for this gentleman of genial disposition. He inquired very particularly after former acquaintances; was busy and could spend but little time with my friend. On my way up, stopped and spent the night with Mr. John Johnson and family, uear Elko. They are old friends and I never give them the go-by. Many changes have taken place in this family since I passed this way last. Children have married and gone, but Ralph, their devoted son, though he has taken a helpmeet, still lives with the old folks. It was dark when I arrived at this hospitable home, ind was cordially welcomed. I need not say I was most agreeably surprised on being introduced to my young friend's better half. She was by no means a stranger, for I soon recognized one who when a girl had gone to school to me: Miss Annie Hunter, daughter of Mr. Daniel Hunter, of this county. Just let me say, one of the greatest pleasures 1 now enjoy is to meet with those with whom I have associated when they were young and happy, and in those halcyon days when life was all a dream. But, ah! what a change has come o'er the spirit of our dreams. We meet them here and there in the bivouac, and busy battles of life, like stern soldiers facing the duties of life. In our journey, we passed over some of the best lands of old Barnwell. We noticed a marked difference in the field crops now and a few years ago. Then it was nearly all cotton and corn. Now we see much attention is given to small grain. The oat crop is being harvested and is yielding a good crop. Wheat has also done well. The cultivation of this crop lias been greatly stimulated by the building of new tlour mills, and even as high up as Williston I heard them speak of patronizing the new dour mill at Denmark. Let this encourage some of our citizens who may be contemplating the 3our mill business to do something that will have a tendency to bring the wheat ields nearer our doors, and thus encourige the planting of diversified crops, so greatly conducive to any country's devel- j jpment and prosperity.

Deafness is.caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube rest oral to its normal condition hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

During the present session 211 students have matriculated in the South Carolina College, showing a larger attendance of academic students than the College has had since 1860. These are all collegiate students; there is no preparatory department connected with the College. A variety of courses is offered leading to the degrees of A. B., B. S., A. M., LL.B., L. I., and wide elective opportunity is given to students both in courses and studies ; the student chooses one half his studies in the Junior and Senior years. The law courses is well attended, and the normal courses have proved helpful to the schools and teachers of the State ; the College Normal graduates have found positions readily in the best schools. This spring special courses have been opened to teachers without charge, and there has been an unexpected attendance upon them. These spring courses will be a permanent feature of the College work hereafter. ' The faculty numbers fourteen professors, each a specialist in his department; the library contains 33,000 volumes, and is well supplied with current and periodical literature, as well as with standard works in all lines. The librarian and assistant are trained library students, and the library is arranged according to the best method of recent cataloguing. The library is kept open all day, and is the favorite working place of students and professors. The laboratories, chemical, | physical and biological, and the geological and mineralogical laboratories and cabinets are well fitted for practical work in those departments. ; The two literary societies and the Young Men's Christian Association are provided with handsome and attractive halls. The lecture rooms are spacious and are supplied with patent desks, slate black-boards, maps, charts and instruments. The infirmary is conducted by a r^oirlpnt train?d nurse. and is in chanre of two of the leading physicians of Columbia. The college authorities encourage athletic sports, and the management of such matters is kept entirely under the control of the faculty. Athletics, like the other departments of the college, are regulated with careful regard to discipline and attention to duty. The gymnasium is furnished with hot and cold baths, lockers, dressing-rooms, and all appliances needful for its efficient management, and is in charge of a director appointed by the faculty. The athletic grounds are clean and spacious, enclosed and fitted with seats for spectators, and all needed conveniences. The college session extends from the fourth Wednesday in September to the second Wednesday in June, with holidays at the State Fair, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Washington's and Lee's birthday. Students who wish to stand examinations for entrance may do so at the college at the beginningarid at the close of any session, and also in July (Friday, July 20, 1900) at each countyseat in the State. At that time the county superintendents of education hold entrance and normal scholarship examinations for the South Carolina College, and students can stand them without the trouble and expense of going to Columbia. T?fV?A Pomlina Pnllnivn at lilt; uuutu vaiv/nuu vvuv^v are moderate. For students who pay the $+0 tuition fee necessary expenses need not exceed $175 a session. But as this fee is remitted to tho^e unable to pay, a student may spend nine months at the college for the small sum of $135. The items of expense are as follows: Tuition fee, $40; term fee, $18; scholarship students, $(?; fuel, lights, washing and attendance, $25; books, stationery, etc., $10; board, $75; incidentals, $7. There is no charge for rooms, use of library, gymnasium, laboratories, chemicals, etc. The health of the college is excellent; there are no local causes of disease. During the last live years there have been only two or three cases of serious sickness among the college community, and no deaths. This session there ha.^ not been a single serious case of illness. Every precaution is taken to preserve health and to guard against disease. Would Not Suffer So Again For Fifly Times Its Price.

Bamberg county was not represented at the meeting. It was decided that prohibition candidates had a right to enter the primary if they tiled a pledge and paid their assessments. Assessments on candidates were made as follows: "United States senator, congressman and governor, $50 each: lieutenant governor, $15.50; all State officers, $37.50 each, except adjutant general al $55; solicitor, $55 each; and $10 for State senator and $5 each for representatives from each county." It was decided to let the selection of electors wait over till the September meeting of the committee. The delegation to the national convention was allowed to select alternates. The following resolution against mudslinging in the campaign was adopted: _ "Whereas there is good feeling among all Democrats in the State to-day, and whereas it is desirable that the campaign, being a contest among Democrats, shall be conducted 011 a high plane: therefore, be it Resolved, That the State Democratic executive Committee suggest to the county chairman of each county of the State the advisability of requiring the candidates not indulge in personal abuse, but to contine themselves to a discussion of the issues; and that any candidate who persists in refusing acquiescence to this suggestion be not allowed to speak."
