20, for the purpose of deciding whether a
tax of mills shall be levied for a graded

no opposition to this levy, and there will
no doubt be an almost unanimous vote.

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.

of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Wright, died last

Real Estate Transfers.
The real estate transfers recorded in
the Auditor's office for the month of May
are as follows:
Bbmberg Township.
J. T. O'Neal to E, Norman, one lot for
$25.
J. P. Ott to Rebecca Hopkins, one lot

E. N. Wright to L. C. Stephens, one lot

Monday's Sales.

M. Bamberg vs. Elvira Smoak, et al, 137
acres kuown as the J. C. Carter tract.
Sold to F. M. Bamberg for $300. Also,
in the same case, 200 acres, known as the
W. B. Smith tract, bought by same party
for $750.
Ia the case of Jacob Rentz vs. Addie
E. Copeland, as administratrix, et al, 108
acres. Sold to J. I. Copeland for $550.

case of J. W. Hill vs. C. B. Free, et al,

Clerk of Court C. B. Free, as receiver
of the estate of Allen F. 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.

Paralyzed While Stealing. e
Last Friday night one John Carter, g
with the fear of God before his eyes, did u
feloniously enter the premises of Mr. Joe J
I Copeland, and did then and there at- ?
tempt to take, steal, and carry away one t
sack of corn. 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.

Meeting of Trustees.
The board of trustees of the Bamberg
graded school, consisting of H. C. Folk,
chairman; John R. 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.

Bamberg Graded School.
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

;otten into nine grades, though with p
nothing like an equality of preparation, p
Lrithmetic was taken as a standard.
>ome were more than a year behind in $
his in comparison with other branches. $
n some cases extra work was given
hem, and they were allowed to go on $
rith their classes. i
The principal mapped out the year's
rork for each. grade, and this has been
ccomplished very satisfactorily. 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

A WHOLESALE THIEF.
A. C. 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.

Loafing Stools.
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,

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.

Teachers.
Office of

Bamberg County,
Bameerc., S. C., May 23d, 1900.
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.
