A handsome line of summer clothing, stylish serge coats, alpacas, crash, etc., at McCrae's, Denmark. The large number of visitors in town last and this week gave our little city quite a lively appearance. The venerable Dr. W. D. Rice will fill the Baptist pulpit in Bamberg next Sun" day at 11 a. m. All are cordially invited. Mr. John Smith, who was shot at Ulmer about two weeks ago bv Mr. John Harter, is doing well, and is thought to be on the road to recovery.

The boarding halls at the fitting school are almost deserted. All the pupils left on Moudav, some in the morning and some on the afternoon trains. Bamberg has as many students attending the various colleges as any town its size in the State; possibly it may have more. This is a good showing for our people. The new subscribers continue to come . in, and most of them pay cash. This shows that the people of Bamberg county have money to spend for what they want and need. W. M. Karesh and family, who have lived here for the past seven years, left for Charleston Monday, where they will live in future. Mr. Karesh will open a clothing and gents' furnishing store in that city. The recent rains and cool weather have damaged crops considerably. Some good farmers say their crops are oil at least one-third. " Many plantations have lots of grass, and the outlook just now is not at all encouraging. The regular examination of teachers was held in the court house last Friday, and was conducted by Superintendent Sease and Messrs. J. Arthur Wiggins and W. E. Willis. There was one white ami four colored applicants. Shoes, shoes, shoes. All styles for everybody, at McCrae's, Denmark. We are sure all those of our hospitable citizens who entertained commencement visitors feel that it was a good thing to do, and that the town and the Carlisle Pitting school will be greatly benefitted by their action. They art- right, too. Binnaker s Bridge school district, unanimously voted a special tax of three mills for school purposes. This shows that they are enterprising, intelligcut people. The additional levy will raise sufficient funds to run the school nine months. Mr. Blackwelder, superintendent of the oil mill, has arrived in town, and will assist in superintending the erection of the buildings, putting in the machinery, etc. Arrangements have been made with the railroad for a siding, and work will be commenced on the spur track in a short time. In order to give excursionists a longer day at the Isle of Palms, the afternoon Southern train leaves Charleston on Sundays at 7 o'clock, instead of 5:20. This train arrives at Bamberg at 10 o'clock, thus giving practically an entire day at the island. The fare for round trip on Sundays is $1.50. > -:-J.& - *v " ' / "V.'IV* "*>*t" % ' '177.7 Tlu* white population of the town w? increased Monday to the extent of thrt girl babies.

He leaves Ban berg about the 10th of next month to tak charge of his school. If the summer schools for teachers ar ever to amount to anything, the lege lature must enact a law making attend ance compulsory upon teachers. If e.\ animations were held only at the summe schools it would be a good idea. 1 T V Messrs. ,j: IJ.

If any o your friends are visiting you, or visit in, out of town, or any kind ot news, eilhe telephone us about it or stop in and lei us when passing. It is almo>t a matte of imposiibility for one man to tind ou every little happening in a town of thi size, and we would be glad if the peopl will send us the news. Cotton Blooms.

The other came from the fart of Mr. II. W. Walker, at Midway, am was picked the same day (Friday). Picnic at St. John's. Last Saturday we had the pleasure o attending the annual Sunday-school pic nic at St. John's church, in the lower par of the county. It was an event to wliici we had looked forward with pleasure, fo to spend even a day among the honesl generous, and hospitable people of tha section of the county gives one a 'bette opinion of human nature and makes u believe that there is such a thing existing as the brotherhood of man.

The city was full of visitors last week. ? The attraction was the annual closing ex;e ercises of tlie Carlisle Fitting School, an institution that has a warm place in the e affections of not only the people of the ie town of Bamberg, but of this and several r adjoining counties. e The exercises commenced last Thursday evening with the e AXNl'AL CELEBRATION ; <?fVim Uil.r.-k iin.I Shi'ridan literarv so VI HIV V?uv. .?. ? ? . cieties,oue of which is managed by the 'r young ladies, the other by the young gentlemen of the school. Long before half[. past eight, the hour at which the exercises e were to begin, the spacious school chapel ^ was rilled to overflowing, and standing d room was at a premium, i- At this hour the two societies marched in from their halls, to the music of a march played by Miss Florrie Black. ^ Mr.F . E. Dibble, rirst assistant, acted as y presiding officer, and announced the num t l>ers on the program. First was a chorous bv members of both i r r societies, after which came an instru11 mental duct entitled "Village Chimes r Polka," by the Misses Roper. ' Little Miss Gedelle Brabham then cape tivated the audience with her humorous recitation, the "Bald Headed Man." Miss Margaret Roper's essay on "Lost Ideals" won for her considerable ap11 plause, and a pleasing innovation was a e vocal duet, something about "My Little Georgia Rose," (we did not get tho exact r title) by Misses Verbena Brabham and At'iriTfirct 11 Thus far the young ladies hail all the J * 11 lienors, but the young men were to have their innings next, for next was a debate with the query: "Resolved, That the fame of the Poet is greater than that of the General." Mr. R. O. Lawton was to have been the first speaker, on the aftirI mative, but was sick and unable to be present. Mr. J. D. Eaddy spoke first for the negative, and his well trained voice made his words distinct in every part of the hall. Mr. D. L. Shieder came next r for the atfirniativo, and made a good speech. Mr. W. B. Bolin closed the de5 bate, arguing for the negative. Two instrumental pieces, a duet, "Love's Chidings," lw Misses Riley and ^ Black, and solo, "Spinning Lay," preceded the reading of an essay, "The Star in the Dew Drop," by Miss Margaret Kenuerly, the choice language of which pleased the ' audience. Miss Margaret Kee charmingly deliver'' ed a pathetic recitation entitled "Nell,"^ ^ and her grace of manner and gesture was appreciated by all. s Then came the pleasing finale to the evening's entertainment, a Japanese fan drill, by sixteen young ladies, who were trained for this exhibition by Mrs. W. E. Willis. The drill was thoroughly en^ joyed by the large audience?the young ladies in their quaint and attractive Japa5 nese costumes making a bewitching sight --*1 o*wl nrro^nfllllr went US Ull'Y Mi ruutvtn ?liu ?iuw., S * * " ( through the intricate evolutions of the B - 1 drill. It has been said that a fan in the hands of a coquette is a dangerous thing, ^ and no doubt the way these young ladies handled their fans proved the truth of this. Head Master Willis then announced s i that the exereises of the evening were s closed, but- that a reception would last until 12 o'clock, and announced Mrs. Thos. Black, Mrs. J. D. Copeland, Mrs. 1 G. Frank Bamberg, Mrs. W. E. Willis and Miss L. Cleckley as chaperons, who saw that the young people had a good time. Many people visited the society halls of the societies, which are now handsomely fitted up. Mr. E. M. Stokes was chief marshal, and his assistants were Messrs. R. W. Mason, H. B. M. Eaddy, C. S. Yongue and D. G. ' Copeland. ANNUAL LITERARY ADDRESS. f Friday night the annual literary ad.. dress was delivered by Prof. J. G. Clink1 scales, of Wofford College. The speaker s was introduced by Rev. T. C. O'Dell in a neat little speech, and for more than one hour he entertained and delighted his audience. Mr. Clinkscalesmade a strong, practical, common sense speech, impressg ing upon the students that this was"com^ mencement" only?that the real work of getting an education was just started and actual work in life begun. He was glad , the Carlisle Fitting School did not give diplomas, and spoke of some schools who - create false ideas of education in pupils as curses to the cause of education. The in .i InimnniiK wav to j, J>pCi?rnri mcmu ? ?... .. -y the old blue-back speller and the methods y of teaching when he was a boy. He hoped 1 that every student would read at least r * v one good book during vacation. Altogether it was a thoughtful, practical address, bristling with good points, and the many funny anecdotes used as illustrations served to keep the large throng in thorough good humor. s ? 0 CLOSING EXERCISES. Saturday evening the closing exercises e took place, and, as on the two previous evenings, the hall was crowded to overI flowing. Head Master Willis presided , and announced the program, which was as follows: Solo, Alpine Hunt?Miss Verbena Brabham. Recitation, Success in Life?H. B. M. >- Eaddy. t Recitation, The Color Bearer?G.

Shieder, who e was to deliver a recitation, "The Gladi1 ' ?_ ator." On this account the recitation was omitted. We regret not being able to give a more extended account of the above, but, through no fault of our own, we were not present. COMMKXC1:MKNT SKKMOX. The annual sermon to the students of the Carlisle Fitting School was delivered in the Methodist church on Sunday morning at 11 o'clock by Rev. W. W. Daniel, D. D., president of Columbia College. The church was crowded until there was not an available seat unoccupied, and some were forced to stand through the entire service. Dr. Daniel took for his text the lJlth verse of the ^titli chapter of Acts, and, using Paul as an example, showed, in the most beautiful and forceful language, that prompt obedience to the attractions of the cross of Christ is the way and the only way to a successful life. The students were exhorted to make Christ their ideal, and were assured that every life, however seemingly beautiful -i f-tilio*i* whieli does not I conform to the doctrines of Christ. At night he took for his text the Oth verse of the 110th Psalm. From this text he urged the young people to he diligent students of the liihle, which is the onh rule and the sufficient rule for our faith and practice. It may he truthfully said that the preaching was of a high order and truly inspiring, and if those whose good fortune it was to hear it will onh take heed to it their lives will he useful and happy. Dr. Daniel made a most favorable impression upon his hearers, both for himself as a preacher and for the college of which he is president. The next session of the Fitting School will commence Tuesday, September Oath, and the attendance will no doubt be larger than ever before. This Interests Yoii. Selling out! R.

He expects to have several speakers present, and it is also possible that this will be made one of the county campaign days. M r. O'Neal will appear before the executive committee next Saturday, and if this body grants his request it is natural to suppose that all of the candidates will be present. This will be the regular formal opening of the springs, and a large crowd from all sections of the county will no doubt be present. Love Finds a Way. Wednesday afternoon of last week Mr. W. A. Storne, of Denmark, and Miss Edna Faust, daughter of Dr. 0. D. Faust, were married at Blackville. The marriage was unexpected, and a surprise to everybody. The young lady was on a visit to relatives in Denmark, and went to ride with Mr. Stoine, and they continued the drive up to Blackville, where the marriage ceremony was performed. Summer Schools. State Superintendent John J. McMahan has sent us a circular containing full information as to the summer school for t?* lw? tu.l(l <it. Winthron Colleire. uvit? kw ?- , ?. T Hock Hill, July 18th to August 14th, 1!)(H). The railroads give reduced rates, the rate of board is very low, and an excellent course of study is offered, with the most capable instructors. In a circular regarding the county summer schools for teachers the superintendent says none should be admitted but teachers or prospective teachers, and no admission should take place after the third day, unless for some extraordinary reason. There will be two courses of study: Arithmetic, gography and English (grammar, literature and theme writing); algebra, history and English (more advanced work on the same lines). The school for Bamberg county will commence July Kith and continue until August lltli, with Messrs. J. ArthTir Wiggins and S. W. Heaves in charge. There should be a full attendance. The following is clipped from the Carolina. published at Spartanburg, and we heartily endorse every word of it: -.T. J. McMahan is a candidate for re-election as State Superintendent of Education. The fact that he has held it one term is no reason why he should have it a second time. But because he has made a most efficient officer is a good reason for his re-election. He has been faithful, ener-a getic, abounding in good suggestions, intensely interested in the schools, and always ready to make any improvements possible. Last summer he gate the teachers the best summer school they have ever had. This year it will be better. The readers of the Spartan will be doing the State a good service by casting their votes [ for John J. MeMahan." A Monster Devil Fish Destroying its victim, is n type of constipation.
