We don't want to l>oast. but the many kind things said bv our country friend's ( last Saturday about The Bamberg Herald as a newspaper makes us feel that our efforts to give the new s are appreciated.

On July first free rural delivery will be established on all star routes in South Carolina, and if there are any routes in Bamberg county wmcn nave mn me midelivery at present, same will be commenced on the above date, and those persons living along the routes should at once erect boxes for the reception of mail matter.

The election on the question of levying ; a speciahtax of one and one-half mills on ! the property in Bamberg school district for a free graded school was held as advertised on Wednesday of last week, with the trustees, Messrs. rf. C. Folk, Jno. R. j Bellinger aud G. A. Rice as managers. I There were fifty-four Votes polled, and only one of these was against the tax. So the graded school will be in better condition next year, and will do better work, as this insures the employment of an additional teacher. BAMBERG'S CAMPAIGN WAY. 1< tl si What the Candidates Had to Say to ti the Voters of the Baby County. j? Tin* State campaign meeting for this county was held in the court house last Saturday, and was attended by from SOO c< to 1,000 people, many ladies being pres- ^ ent. The court room was jammed, and 11 many were unable to get inside. The speaking commenced at 11 o'clock, and just before the meeting was called to or- * der Senator B. li. Tillman entered and walked up to the front and took a seat. As he came into the hall he was greeted " with loud applause, w hich lasted until he . had taken his seat. The ladies, too, joined in the applause. County Chairman H. C. Folk presided, and the meeting was I opened with prayer by Rev. T. C. tVDell. :U I Mr. Folk announced that the countv ex- ^ at CCUtlVC COniUUllCC USKCU mi- >peui\n> uwi s to indulge in personalities,and stated the allotment of time. Candidates for gov- - * ernor, 45 minutes; all others, 10 minutes. Some of the candidates arrived here J" from Barnwell Friday afternoon, and the remainder came in on the 8:20 train Saturday morning. While here they were ^ entertained by our citizens at private j.t: houses and by the county Democracy at u the various hotels. nt G. D. House, who wants t*? be adjutant 1,1 geueral, was tirst on the program, and ai made a neat little speecli. Col. Floyd spent Friday night here, but was com- 1 pelled to go to Charleston to a meeting of |.u the board of visitors of the Citadel Academy. Mr. Wharton, for railroad commis- ln sioner, then made a "promising" speech. as In fact he promised so much that Mr. B. F. Folk staggered him with the question as to whether railroad commissioners could control rates beyond the State. Of course they can't, but Mr. Wharton replied by saying they could work in connection with the commissioners of other States. B. B. Evans was tamer than usual, and ,u said C. W. Garris would make a good commissioner. He spoke of the poor un- or ion passenger depot at Denmark, and an made his usual reckless charges about the things the present board had failed to do, ' and promised great things if elected. He charged the commission with being re- 1 sponsible for the Southern getting con- U1 trol of the S. C. & G. Railroad, and said _ a rates were now 25 to 50 per cent, higher ^ai on account of this. 1111 Mr. Pettigrew made a quiet little 110 speech, saying he had the endorsement of his own county, Florence, the tirst of the new counties. tl? T. N. Berry made sport of the other rviixti.l-o.x fViv their <?rrat l>roilliseS. and P1' sarcastically said if elected lie would pro- DV vide upholstered furniture iu the waiting ca: rooms of depots, ice cream in summer and hot chocolate in winter, ami "double * daily vestibule trains running in every wi direction." The crowd enjoyed this hit bu at the promising" fellows. \V. D. Maytield made the statement that coi cotton mills were leaving South Carolina for on account of freight rates, which brought ter Mr. C. AV. Garris, who was in the audi- da; ence, to his feet with the question : idt "Mr. Maytield, can you prove that *" the "Yes, sir." lisl "1 wish you would, then." cn< "1 can prove it by the newspapers and am the statement of the board of directors." AVI "If you refer to Mr. Montgomery and am the Pacolet mill, he told me they would alii build a new mill in Georgia, on account the of lal>or. You have a right to criticise ne1 us, but I don't think you should make Ba statements without having the proof." ap] Maytield wanted to know why the mills the now running buy cotton from Alabama pet instead of in the lower part of South I Carolina. tha Garris: ''Because of the attempt to wa form a trust to beat down prices. If you vol refer to Lucas, at Laurens, he tried to get Boi the mills at Spartanburg and around to an* form a trust to tix the price of cotton, and jar he declined to buy it at'regular rates the from wagons in Laurens." I AY. D. Evans came next, and made a lic^ spirited reply to B. B. Evans. He made bet t hue impression. He said that when he arc w ent on the board he found high rates 011 ( many commodities. They had reduced to 1 rates on fertilizers, then" reduced joint tha rates on shipments within the State, re- at iuced rate on shingles and on cotton at Th the request of this same Mr. Lucas. This nie lid not look like they were doing nothing, ere rhe rate on wheat had been confirmed. au( rhe law requires a thirty days' notice and son opportunity to be heard.

Out of the 8,000 bales sold at tiro Bamberg this season 4,000 went to Clif- tho :on. Mr. Montgomery went to Georgia pie t>ecause labor could not live in some He places and work in factories. The alti- W. tude is 1,385 feet where he went. Mont- tw< jomery had said, too, that all cotton in p0) South Carolina would Ik? consumed lo- am ?ally. Over at Orangeburg it was the lad poard which was neglecting its duty. r rod ay Barney says Garris is all right. ^ When he goes to York county Wilborn will be all right, and when he gets to T. Marlboro \Y. D. Evans will be handled , ' lightly. Z The candidates for lieutenant governor ? >poke next. Col. .1. II. Tillman made a tjie neat little speech, and amused the audi- p ence. He was followed by Mr. C. L. ^ Winkler, who spoke in a nice, quiet way jn ( ilu>ut his record as a law-maker in the ^ legislature and constitutional convention. to Col. J no. T. Sloan alluded to his having , voted to establish Bamberg county. Cole Blease was next at the bat. He >poke of the hospitality of the pretty " town, and went Col. Sloan one better in j raying nice things to the ladies. ^() As to his record, he defied any man to me point to one spot in it which is not con- j ustent with the interests of the State. for He did favor white men's money for -j white men's schools, and not for free aiggers. 4, He had introduced a bill to pension a larky, William Rose, a veteran of three .pj wars*. He had introduced the bill by re- ^ .. [juest. It was reported unfavorably, and was killed. He had not favored it or ^ voted for it. ^ Tillman, interrupting, accused him of ^ had faith in introducing it. pal Blease retorted: "As to my veracity or yours, I will leave it to the*people of South Carolina; I will leave it to the peo- * , pie of Edgefield county." ' Tillman : "And I'll leave it to the re- ^ cord." ga Blease: "I have no chaperon in this jeu race. I do not go around telling of my father, or of the beloved, 'my uncle,' Sen- t ?*?? Tillman" Rh>j\se continued that Senator Tillman and others had introdueed hills for which they had not voted. R. H. Jennings, candidate for State treasurer, said he had heen married forty j> years and had forty children. His atten- , tion was called to it. and he corrected the ^ statement, making the number fourteen. Dr. W. H. Timmerman asked for reelection on his record. A recess for dinner was then taken. cr! N. W. Brooker spoke hrst after dinner, SH1 ami presented a lot of figures as to the as comptroller general office and sinking ll11 fund commission. ' Mr. J. P. Derham, the incumbent, re- ^ei plied in a telling way, saving that Mr. 001 Brooker hat! failed to bring to a settle- oU ment any shortage he hail claimed to lind. He thauked the people for electing him, and asked their suppoit on his record =r" as an official. in Mr. McMahan was not present, and El- P*; * - _ l. ... ...1? llSOll V apers, ior superiiuenueui ui i-v4ucation, was tht* next speaker. tin Jas. E. Davis, of Barnwell, candidate he for solicitor, luado an eloquent speech, hii promising his best service if elec ted. His un opponent, C. C. Simms, Esq., was not H? present on account of illness. a * The candidates lor governor were next j tie on the program, and F. B. Gary made a j an speech which won him triends. He char- j of aeteri/.ed Col. Hoyt's candidacy as an in- j gr sidious attack against the dispensary law. m< Col. Hoyt disclaimed coalition, and his co word was unimpeachable. But certain 011 men are supporting him because they ca know that the life will be squeezed out of wi the dispensary law if he is elected. Pub- an lie sentiment will not keep down blind Hi tigers. There must be a paid constabu- co lary under the dispensary. He was in wl favor of common schools "and State col- St i - i ii )ii i i n i l'i "Wherever there is a cotton mill lore should be a textile school. The rejlt would Ik* that natives would be ained to paying positions now tilled bv liens. The objection to so many in his unily aspiring to office was answered by le statement that the Pinekueys and the lutledges were not debarred on that ac unt. He concluded by saving that he ould enforce every law, or be found tryig as faithfully as he had done in the gislature. He received a bouquet. A gentleman in the audience wanted to now if he was married or single. Gary replied: "Yes, sir, I have a very \ndsome wife at home, and I am anxious ? get home to her." (Cheers.) Sana* Party : "Have you forty chilren:" Gary: "No, sir." (More cheers.) A. Howard Patterson said he was nong his friends; that Bamberg was a lit of old Barnwell. After speaking 'nerally for awhile he attacked Mciveeney's record as governor. He said Sweeney had not enforced the dispenrv law; that in Charleston and Couibia the law was a farce and a humbug. lin.l ti.r.-rc in full hi A St. at the I harleston hotels. He alluded to Mcveenev's subscribing for papers and tying for them out of the contingent nd, and spoke of the appointment of wspapcr men on his stall', etc. Here ere was a spirited colloquy, between he id McSweeney. The latter defied Patrson to make out his charges against uirleston tigers and he would have them osecuted. There were frequent cheers r McSweeney and Patterson. "Did you ever drink liquor at Troeger's, Columbia, while you were governor?" 1 ked Patterson. "The man w ho says so is a liar," said : eSweeney, tiercelv. "Did you?" "I say the man who says so is a liar," is MeSweenev's answer, as he sat down. "Did you ever drink there while you 1 re lieutenant governor?" Here there was a good deal of consion and cheers for Patterson and Mcveeuey, and the chairman rapped for der. Patterson spoke of the Pons case, ' d said he had refused to sign the pe- ' ion asking for a pardon ; that the puunnent should have been more severe. , [ Sweeney defied Patterson to prove by ; llman that he was not responsible for rniug Tolbert out of the custom house, j itterson did not put the question. He j id that Senator Tillman had appointed ? m master at Barnwell, and Aldrich had j thing to do with it. He had written to < s county papers advocating putting the isters office in the primary,and the ac- j n Friday was not a slap at him. \ He accused Gary of evading the dis- \ usary question today. He concluded j reviewing his record and leaving the j >e in the hands of the people, lie was ^ plauded. governor McSweeney was received th some cheers. He had hoped to have ( t a few words to say of the improvents of Bamberg since the "deadlock mention" of 1SS8, but he would be oed to make a different speech. Pat- 1 son brings up the same old charges, c y after day, in every county. The \ ntical charges; and it is annoying to ' candidates and those who have had to ;en to him. He then said that he had * ieavored to enforce the dispensary law, \ .1 he believed that it had been enforced. a tiv does Patterson lug in Charleston f i'Columbia when he knows that it is aost impossible to enforce the law a ;re ? All his staff, he said, were not e ivspaper men, for one is a citizen of mberg?Col. John F. Folk. He had pointed a newspaper man a trustee of ; South Carolina College, who is the ?r of Mr. Patterson or anybody else, ^atterson had made these criticisms so (] it he could find something to pick his E y into the second primary. "1 say to j now he will never be governor of a nth Carolina," shouted McSweeney, t 1 pounded the stand so hard that he t red off the \vater goblet, and again re were cheers and counter cheers. = le did not believe in bloodshed ; he be- a red the law could be enforced; that the I ter judgment of the people m ould come >und to the dispensary. Joveruor McSweeney said, in regard the Charleston custom house business, r t Senator Tillman m'as in Columbia 1 the time, and he consulted with him. I ey Mired the United States Govern- j nt at Washington. He claimed no . dit for this. It was due to Chief Howie 11 1 his constables. He said that Patter- ^ i Mas making a flimsy, nonsensical apaigu. It is farcial for candidates to s up and say n hat they are goingto do. ey> don't enact laMs. 11 I*e took up the Pons case, and read a let- o from W. Gilmore Sims, clerk of court fl Barnwell county, in which it Mas iniated that all Pons aud his attorneys light was necessary m as for him to ad guilty and he would be pardoned, also referred to the requisition for G. M. Williams, in m liicfi he had removed 11 ) magistrates. When he spoke of the o us case the governor grew eloquent, C I m as applauded by the audience, the j, ies joining in. \?1 Hurt piiilorccd fill the kind thimrs .1 of Bamberg. This campaign was of r ature different from what he wanted, d e letters which Governor McSweeney > received had related to the enforeent of the dispensary law in Green'e?the city, not in the county?and re was more illicit whiskey sold in enyille county now than under proitiou. LaFar'had worked earnestly connection w ith the police force. The orcement of the law there is due more P the efforts of Mayor Williams and q ief Kennedy. \ How about the carpet-baggers and lawags?" asked Mr. B. F. Folk. That statement does not refer to the a ninistration of the law," replied Col. yt. "It refers to the bloody enforce- t( nt of it." . ie laughed at Gary forgetting flowers, the latter had been teasing Col. Hoyt h getting flowers for his political bier, u How about the shelf, Colonel ?" c What shelf?" Why the shelf to lay prohibition on." s leers.) c I don't believe in counting votes until u primary," said Col. Hoyt, and he was ^ ;ered. Col. Hoyt then spoke of the vspapers supporting him, and said if se same papers were supporting Mr. f tterson that he (Patterson) would not p ite asking them to withdraw their sup- (] rt. He and McSweeney had a goodtured tilt over the killing of Howard, J Greenville county. Patterson had said it prohibition could not be enforced in fc rnwell county. A gentleman from Al- . dale had told* him that liquor could not obtained there then. old gentleman in the audience arose t .1 said such a condition had existed for I; I'hile oulv, and then blind tigers had ived under prohibition. If elected i'ernor he could enforce the dispensary v better than anybody opposing him. the dispensary keeps people sober by c ng closed campaign days, then why r t close it all the time? iValt Whitman next spoke, and the i >wd had lots of fun out of him. He ? d if he had to speak to such audiences i he addressed at Barnwell, he would s it politics and leave the State. a He was followed by Congressman Tal- s it, who spoke of what he was doing in agress, and urged the people to turn t and vote at the general election, as ; Republicans were trying to reduce uth C arolina's representation in con- t ess on account of the small vote polled 1 general elections. He was heartily ap- i luded. '< By this time it was after 6 o'clock, but * e crowd had been patiently waiting to ar Senator Tillman, and as the time for n to speak approached it grew larger, y til even the stairwavs were packed. * was introduced bv Chairman Folk as i nmn \.?.i i?.a? ,?,? ,,f *1111111 WHO 111 lOJJ" UrtW ucvu iuv | e common people of South Carolina, (1 in lhuo was the idol of all the people j South Carolina." The applause which j: eeted him was deafening, and he com- ) euced bv saving he was sick, and on ac- ] unt of the lateness of the hour would i ilv talk a few minutes. He rasped the i udidates for their promises, and said he ' is glad the ladies came to the meetings, id made the men behave themselves, e said for the first two years he was in ngress he was a nobody, and the men ho managed the affairs of the United ates had oeen in public life from fifteen ? r ii "ir" ? i to thirty years. Speaking of the attemp of the Republicans to reduce our repre sentation. in congress, he looked for tiii to be the next move by that party; it wa a serious matter, ami lie earnestly begge< the people to vote at the general electioi in November. The meeting then adjourned. NOTKS. There was no drunkenness on th< streets or in the hall, and Col. Hoyt al luded to the fact in his speech. Most of the candidates left town on th< afternoon and evening trains. It was an orderly assemblage, and whih there was some questioning of and re marks to the candidates, it was all good natured, and the only times much ex citement was created was when Pattersor and McSweeney ami Bleaseand Jim Till man had their tilts. Our old friend, Holland Kennedy, en livened things with his "whoopee jusi a1 the proper times, and la* created lots oi merriment. When Col. Hovt was speak ingand the holler was given, he laughec and said: "I het that's an old fox hunter sure." Mr. Kennedy replied : "You go! me right that time, Colonel," ami every body laughed. A few of the speakers after rounding out a period, seemed t? get lost?to be thinking of something t? say?and Mr. Kennedy's "whoopee" jusi at this juncture would bringdown tin house, producing the applause which tin candidate seemed to expect and didn't get. Senator Tillman was the guest ol Maj. E. R. Ilays while here. The Knights of Pythias held their regular meeting last Monday evening, but as the two candidates for degrees were absent, nothing of importance was done. Rev. H. C. Brabham,a student from the Baptist Theological Seminary at Louisville, Kentucky, will till the pulpit of the Bamberg Baptist church next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. An Earnest Appeal.
