nee tbem. ' i
, Mr. J. M. Jennings is boring a deep well '

main dead in the office. We want to ]
keep our list in good shape. I
The Bamberg base ball team went to 1

is entitled to.
Mrs. Frankie Hiers, of the Kearse sec- <
tion, one of the finest gardeners in all
that country, raised a cabbage weighing <
sixteen pounds, which she presented to \
Mr. E. F. Kinard's family. It strikes us <
that this was a very large cabbage. Can
anybody beat it ? ]
We return thanks to that good farmer j
and friend of ours, Mr. M. O. Kinard, for 1
some fine peaches and a very large cab- 1
bage. The cabbage was headed full, and i
just as solid as if it had been growing a
year. Mr. Kinard hails from a section of <
good crops, tine orchards and magnificent 1
gardens. <

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.
Lots of people say that they just
can't do without the i?i>er. and it is the
only sheet in this county that prints the
news.
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 county Democratic executive committee
has agreed that the barbecue and
picnic at West End Mineral Springs on
next Wednesday, July 4th, shall be an
unofficial campaign meeting, ami all the
county candidates are invited to be present.
"Gen. Floyd and other State officers
will attend if possible, and it is expected
that this will be a great occasion.
Willie Bradley and Bartholomew Myers,
colored, who have been a menace in the
Ulmer section, were arrested at the instance
of Magistrate N. \\\ Weekley on ;
Tuesday. They were brought to Baruwell j
by Constable A. M . Manuel ami lodged |
in the county jail. Bradley ami Bart holomew
undoubtedly meant to defy the!
law, for w hen arrested they had a shotgun j
in their possession.?Barnwell Sentinel, j

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. Barney Evans car

Put never went to Cuba until the war was ter
over, and then to accept office under Re- of ]
publicans. 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*;

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.

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 of Bamberg. This campaign was of r
ature different from what he wanted, d
e letters which Governor McSweeney

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." .

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. *

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,

of the Republicans to reduce our repre

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.
