Bamberg's New Dispenser. At a meeting of the county board of control, held on Friday last at the court- j house, all the members being present, the following old dispensers Avere re-elected : W. II. Faust, Denmark. G. L. Kinard, Ehriiarui. Geo.. J. Bessinger, Olar. By a unanimous vote of the board, Capt. Geo. P. Bamberg was elected dispenser at Bamberg, supplanting Mr. J. D. Felder, who has held the position for seven years. The board also recommended that the Bamberg dispenser employ as his clerk Mr. W. S. Miley. These elections were held by the new county board consisting of J. J. Jones; chairman, G. B. Kinard, and G. P. Perry. Three Mill Tax Election. The election to decide whether a three, mill tax should be levied to support a graded school in Bamberg took place as advertised last Thursday. Those opposed to levying the tax turned out and did some work, and succeeded in defeating the tax by a vote of 38 to 57. The smallness of the vote polled shows how little interest was taken in the matter. However, the opposition is in favor of a levy of H mills, and a petition calling for an election is being circulated. As everyone seems in favor of this, no doubt the tax will be levied.

The burial took place at the cemetery Tuesday morning, the services being conducted by Rev. T. C. O'Dell. Messrs. C. J. S. Brooker, Havelock Eaves, Thomas L. Wiggins and A. 3.

Free, offered for sale all the pine timber on lands of said estate. He stated that the upset price was $1,500, and no purchaser appeared. Dispensary Muddle. Capt. Geo. P. Bamberg has not yet taken charge of the Bamberg dispensary, as Mr. J. D. Felder, the present incumbent, refuses to turn over. Last Friday afternoon Capt. Bamberg made a formal request for the institution to be turned over to him, but at that time, we understand, he had not given a bond. He has hjs bond now, out 3ir. W elder retuses 10 i turn over to him on the ground that the i county board of control, which elected Capt. Bamberg, is an illegal body, as the law was not complied with in their appointment. The board was appointed by Senator Mayfield alone, and not a majority of the delegation. He also claims that no notice of the election was given, no applications were on file, and the election was held the saihe day the board first ' met and organized, without the twenty days' notice required by law. The matter will go before the State board of control for final settlement. In the meantime Mr. Felder holds over. Considerable feeling has been aroused by the matter, although no one has any objection, to Capt. Bamberg as dispenser. Coming Marriage. The marriage of Miss Rosa Lee Ayer, ' daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Ayer, of I the Clear Pond section, to Mr. David B. . Black, of Walterboro, a son of the late I Sheriff Black, is announced. The happy event will take place at Pleasant Hill ' Methodist church, near the home of the bride, on Wednesdny evening, the 13th instant, at 8.80 p. m., and we hope to be : present.

But he didn't get away I with it, for he was stricken with paraly- t sis while .engaged in his nefarious work, v The facts are that last Saturday morning about 4 o'clock one of Mr. Copeland's T sons went out to the barn to feed the a stock, and found there John Carter, an s old negro, 64 years old, who lives on the a Patrick place adjoining Mr. Copeland's p plantation. The old fellow was sitting s on the ground leaning against the crib with a sack of corn beside him which he c had stolen. He could not talk so as to t be understood, and could only move his ^ left hand. Upon examination it was t found that he was completely paralyezd T on one side, the attack coming on just as p he was preparing to get away with his 8 booty. He had gained an entrance to the barn by means of a duplicate key which t he had made. He was put into a wagon t and carried to his home, where he now lies in a helpless condition, the power of p speech not yet having returned to him. s The negroes in that section look upon c it as a visitation of Providence, and great is the consternation among some of them, i Mr. Copeland says the corn is now of > great value as seed, and he will not have t to lock his corn house in the future.

Bellinger, and G. A. Rice, held a meeting last Thursday for the purpose of electing teachers for the ensuing year. The same corps of instructors were elected, as follows; C. R. Calhoun, principal; Miss Pet Stephens, Mrs. J. A. Murdaugh, Miss Lillier Stevens, assistants. It was decided to elect an additional teacher for the primary department, as the number of pupils last year was entirely too large for one teacher to properly attend to. This additional teacher will be elected later. The school will open about the same time as last year, about the loth or 20th ui oepiemuei. Newberry College. We have received an invitation to attend the commencement exercises of Newberry College, which will take place in the opera house at Newberry, June 17 io 20. Mr. E. P.

The graded school closed last Friday ifter a successful session of niue months, p There were no exercises at the close, v The last week was given up to examina- c ion, which, though very rigid, were c ?assed very creditably by the students. 3 On Friday Mr. H. C. Folk and Mr. J. I I. Bellinger, trustees of the school, visi- I ed the different rooms, and when the cholars assembled in the chapel for dis- y mission Mr. Bellinger talked to them, 11 nd announced the re-election of all the ? eachers. Then Principal Calhoun pre- e ented to Misses Sallie Felder and Essie ^ree certificates showiug that they had ompleted the work of this school. These re the only two that finished the ninth 1 ;rade. They are two very bright young r adies, and we know they will take a fine r tand in college, as they propose to enter f he sophomore class at Winthrop this fall. At the opening last September one p tundred and eleven scholars were pres- p - A 4 ~ Aknnnme t Y\ QCO TTOrP III.

The ^ tandard of each grade is equal to that of t ,ny graded school in the State, so that a p >upil leaving this school can enter the s ame grade elsewhere. . The enrollment for the past year was D ?ne hundred and ninety-seven. During he last month of the free term one hunIred and forty-five were in regular atendance, but about half of these stopped rhen the pay term began, so were de rived of two months' work, which is ab- I olutely necessary for their promotion. t A nine months' free term is necessary t o have a successful school?one in which 1' he work will be satisfactory to the teachxs and to the patrons. We believe the * veople of Bamberg will not stop until the a chool facilities of this place equal those d tf other progressive towns. f With an additional room to the build- j ng the accommodations for the pupils p rill be better, and with another teacher v nore satisfactory work may be expected. ^ Following is the honor roll for the ^ uonth ending June 1st. d First Grade?Flossie Murdaugh, Geni- v 'ieve Cauthen, Urnia Black, Donnie f I< Sllzey, Vernon Ellzey. p Second Grade?Pearl Black, Ethel n Mack, Alma Black, George Stephens, s Jlenn Cope. ^ Third Grade?Eugene Stokes, Herbert t, Tarn. r Fourth Grade?Clarence Black, Nanny s Ifay Cox, Tillman Felder, Willie Folk, g iVilmot Riley, Fifth Grade?Charley Felder, Mary 211en Eaves, Annie Lou Byrd.

Reynolds, the Ehrhardt Druggist, Caught Stealing. Druggists William II. Jones ami John Poynter Smith, of Khrhardt, made complaint before one of the local magistrates yesterday that thev had been shamefully robbed by A. C. Reynolds, the manager of the Reynolds Drug Company. Their allegation in brief, as set forth in their affidavit, was that Mr. Reynolds, by upto-date business methods, a thorough knowledge of pharmacy fof which the complainants seemed to know but little) had, short as has been his stay in Ehrhardt, robbed them of their entire trade. The magistrate refused to issue a warrant, but hekfthe case under advisement. Swinging Around tlie Circle. Our "swinger," Mr. George TVolsey Symonds, has this week swung out of all postal connection with The Bamberg Hekai.d, and his breezy letter reaches us just as we are going to press. Therefore, much to our regret, we are compelled to break the circle, and hold over his letter until next week. A Card, As it has been rumored that I have withdrawn from the race for county auditor and superintendent of education of Bamberg county, I take this method of announcing that I am still in the race, and will run to the finish. My friends will please correct the report that I have withdrawn. TV. TV. Lightsey. Carlisle Fitting School.

In the last issue of the Circuit Rider, lev. E. Alston Wilkes, in writing up a rip to Rowesville, pays his respects to he loafing stool in several towns as folows : "There is only one thing I noticed in towesville that tends to disparage, or rork against the best interest of the town nd people. It is not the 'blind tiger.' I lon't think he lives there. Circumstances avorable to the growth and development if that green-eved monster are lacking in towesville. They once had a bar-room here, but that was years ago, when the illage was in its savage state, more or ess, and as the people waxed strong in he faith, they discarded this work of larkness. No, it was not liquor, nor lancing, nor any form of immorality or rorldliness I observed. It was no active orce of evil, but there were symptoms of oafism. Only symptoms. I saw seats, dank stools of some extension, and linor stools, that were slick from contant friction. That sort of stool in mall towns are gettingtobedangerously ommon. They are in Branchville, Bamerg, and all up and down the F. C. & P. ailway. There are some people and ome communities that will never amount ' o much until they get rid or that old lick loafing stool." Glorious News Domes from Dr. D. B. Cargile, of Washia, 1. T. He writes: "Electric Bitters has ured Mrs. Brewer of scrofula, which ias caused her great suffering for years. Terrible sores would break out on her lead and face, and the best doctors could jive no help, but now her health is ex;ellent." Electric Bitters is the best blood mrifier known. It's the supreme remedy or eczema, tetter, salt rheum, ulcers, boils md running sores. It siimulates liver, tidneys and bowels, expels poisons, lelps digestion, builds up the strength.

Pursuant to instructions from State Superintendent of Education John J. McAIahan, the summer school for the white teachers of Bamberg county will be held in the city of Bamberg, (possibly at the 0Ui'lisle Fitting School) commenc- ( ing on Monday, July Kith, and continu- c ing until Saturday, August 11th. The instructors, will be": J. Arthur Wiggins, c principal of the Denmark graded school, I and S. W. Reeves, now at Cornell University. The courses will be arithmetic, algebra, history, geography, and English. I earnestly desire that Bamberg's sum t i .i _ i,,. ? ??? mer SCUOOl mis year uc it great success. To this end I want the co-operation of -r 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 every day this year. It is useless for the State to throw away tnone}' 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 who attend the school. W. E. SEASE, County Supt. Education.
