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.

by Mr. Harrison Fisher, will"begin in the J
Saturday Evening Post for June 16, and
run through the summer numbers of, the
magazine.

Lee's School Closing.
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.

Turtles for the Edisto. '
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." "

Barnwell News.
[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. L. N. B.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
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.

The South Caroliiia College.
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.

State Executive Committee.
The State Democratic Executive Committee
met in Columbia last Wednesday
night. 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."
