The frequent rains will make it all the ( more important that premises be kept in ] proper condition in the city; otherwise we ( may have an epidemic of fever this ] summer. Clerk of Court Free paid a visit to Colleton county last week, and he says the crops in the section he visited are' damaged very much, and the yield of cotton 3 will be short. " ] The census enumerators have nearly ( completed their work. The population of , Orangeburg (the town) will be about 4,500. ' Many thought it would reach 5,000.? Orangeburg Patriot. _ i There is a strong sentiment in town in < favor of establishing a new cemetery, and , we hope it will materialize. All the lots . are taken up in the cemetery now, and something will have to be done. 1 The-paper is issued on Thursday this ^ ' week instead of Wednesday, as the cot- i ton mill shut down for the fourth and we ] could not get the electric power to run ' our press and print off the issue. If the old adage "misery loves company" is true, our farmers have the consolation < of knowing that all the cotton fanners in < the country are having too much raiu, and , that grass and weeds are hard to kill. The farmers who make "their wheat supply this year?and we are glad there ' are so many of them?will hit it lucky. The great failure in the Western wheat crop will eause flour to be high in the future. Straw hats in endless varieties, at McCrae's, Denmark. The quarterly statement of the Bam- ' berg Banking Co.- shows that institution 1 tc be in fine condition, and prospering ] under the able management of President \ H. J. Brabham, Cashier W. A.

By reference to an advertisement in another column, it will be seen that there is a vacant beneficiary scholarship in the Citadel Academy from this county, which is to be filled by competitive examination. Blanks and full information can be obtained from Superintendent W. E. Sease. The town of Bamberg is one of the few places in the State that was hospitable enough to entertain the State campaign party free of charge. Those who stopped at the hotels as well as private houses enjoyed free entertaiuinent. The county Democratic executive committee paid the hotel bills. The recent rains have damaged crops > in this section very materially, and in some cases the grass is ahead of the cotton. Many farmers say they will not make more than half to two-thirds of an J average crop, and cotton ought to bring a ! high price this fall if similar conditions ! obtain all over the cotton belt. Master D. G. Copeland, who graduated last month at the Carlisle Fitting School, is only 14 years old, but has represented the Model Steam Laundry, of Augusta, at this place, for some time. He has given up the agency on account of absence from town, and the proprietor, Mr. W. C. Cfafk, states he is sorry to lose him as an &gent, as his methods have been prompt apd business-like, and assures him that lie will succeed in whatever he undertakes in life. Master Capelaud will attend some college this fall. A handsome line of summer clothing, stylish serge coats, alpacas, crush, etc.] \ at McCrae's, Denmark. Judge Gage has rendered his decision - *" ?? -i - a n.. in the case ol v\ alter vs. wie o. m. a. Ma. railroad. It will be remembered that this was a suit brought against the railroad for the killing of Mr." Wiley S. Walker, seetion master at Denmark, and the jury gave a verdict for $10,000 damages. A motion for a new trial or reduction of the verdict was made, therefore Judge Gage, who was the presiding judge, refuses to grant the motion for a new trial or to reduce the damages. The railroad r will now no doubt appeal the case to the State supreme court. Mr. Hugh A. Ray announces himself in this issue as a candidate for Magistrate at Bamberg. We regret not being able to attend some of the picnics held yesterday, but we were too busy. The weather here has been oppressively warm for the past week, the mercury hovering near the nineties. A new cemetery is needed at once, and our citizens should get to work immediately on so important a matter. In the coming county campaign, we hope to see a quiet, orderlv and decorous contest for the different oAices. The Walterboro Press and Standard says: "Mrs. W. P. Jones, of Bamberg, visited relatives here this week." Court will convene here on Monday, the 23rd instant. Judire Uarv will preside, and the jury will be drawn next week. We want a good correspondent at every postoffiee in the county, and would be glad to hear from those who will write us the news. When you want fire insurance, call on Jno. F. Folk.

Mr. O'Neal has had a telephone line built to West End Mineral Springs, and it is connected with the Bamberg exchange. This will be quite a convenience to patrons of the springs. Mr. Wilson Riley, son of Capt. W. A. Rilev, went to Columbia to stand the competitive examination for West Point held there Tuesday. The successful applicants have not yet been announced.

Havelock Eaves has taken up the work of soliciting contributions for the starving people in India, and any one wishing to give to this most worthy charty should call on him without delay. He lias already raised $12 or $15, but there should be a more generous response. The uhabitants of India are starving in large lumbers, and it is the bounden duty of hristian people to help them. Baseball in Orangeburg. The Bamberg baseball team returned roni Orangeburg Friday morning, after Haying two games. Orangeburg won on A'ed lies day, through the inability of the risitors to hit Inabiuet safely until too ate. The score was 9 to 6. On Thursday >ur boys had on their batting clothes, and soon kuocked Weston out of the box. He was replaced by Bookhart, who fared no letter. Bamberg won by a score of 15 to 10. It was generally admitted that Bamierg had the better team, and with prac,ice would give any team in the State rouble to defeat them. The following were the young men who represented Bamberg: Col. J. F. Folk, manager; Hoffman and Boyleston, p. and 1st b.; Felder. c.; Copeland, 2nd b.; Farrell, 3rd Bamberg, s. s.; Spahr, (captain) 1. f.; SVise, c. f.; Brabham, r. f.; Move, sub.

Owens, section man in the spinning room at the cotton mill, died at the home of Mrs. Hattie Fogle, in this city, where he and his wife boarded, last Wednesday afternoon. Deceased was about 27 years old, and had lived here for about three years. He had been sick for sometime with typhoid fever, and his death was not a surprise. The burial took place at the cemetery Thursday [ morning, the services being conducted by Rev. T. C. O'Dell, of the Methodist church.

Deceased had been in bad health for several years, but her death was sudden and unexpected. She was taken suddenly ill on the day before her death. Mr. Cope and Mrs. Livingston went up to North Sunday to attend the funeral, returning Monday afternoon. Trouble in Walterboro. Wai.terboro, June 30.?A fight took *1 uA place 011 the streets mis aiiernuou uctween Harvey Beach and Joe Brock, Richard Walker and Henry Robertson. Beach is a young white man who works in a factory here, the others are negroes. Some days ago one of the negroes took Beach off his bicycle and slapped his face^ Since then trouble has been brewing between the operatives and negroes, and this afternoon about 5 o'clock they became engaged in a fight. Beach was knocked down with a brickbat by Walker, and then a general fight ensued, and it seemed as if pandemonium had broken loose. Brock was shot in the head and stomach, and is thought to be dying. Walker is now lodged in jail, barely escaping lynching. Beach is better, but is seriously hurt. The crowd is terribly wrought up. The militia company was called out, and is now on guard. It is thought trouble will take place tonight if Brock dies. The negroes are said to be arming themselves. The whites have already armed and are in command of the situation. law and order prevail. Walterboro, July 2.?Everything is quiet in town and law and order prevail. Magistrate J. S. Griffin empanelled a jury of inquest who viewed the body of Joe Brock and adjourned to meet again Thursday. Young Beach is still improving and thought to be out of danger. Brock was buried this morning and a large crowd of negroes attended. They behaved remarkably well, there being very little demonstration. Everybody considers the "incident closed," and the law will now take its course, but no one can tell what the result might have been if the leading citizens of the town had not taken the matter in hand immediately and shown their determination to protect life and property. ? - * - ? 1?J me leaaers 01 me coiurcu pcuyio wnc given to understand that their good behavior is absolutely mandatory. They have conducted themselves in a most commendable manner, their rights are protected, and the young "bullies" have been taught a very wholesome lesson. Jnly Clearing Sale. Messrs.

There were no fireworks exploded it Bamberg to celebrate independence day but the day was generally observed here The cotton mill shut down for the day and gave its hard-worked operatives i holiday. The bank, dispensary, post office, the county offices, and practicallj all of the business houses closed up, an< the streets were almost deserted after H o'clock. Our people enjoyed the day in variou ways. Some went fishing;" others at tended the picnic at West End Miners Springs, while some attended the reunioi at Mr. Wm. Bessinger's. A good crowi from town attended the picnic at Wes ! End Mineral Springs, and we understam the reunion was also well attended. Printer Wauled.

Jones has been elected principal of the Eau Claire high school for the ensuing session. Mr. Jones graduated at Newberry college in the class of 1894, and selecting teaching as his profession, has met with marked success. For the past five years he has been principal of the Ehrhardt high school at Fhriiar.lt where he has sriven eminent satisfaction to his patrons, He is a young man of more than ordinary ability as a teacher and disciplinarian, and the trustees and patrons of the Eau Claire school are to he congratulated on securing his services.?Columbia State. The above will be pleasant news to Mr. Jones's many friends in this county, although we feel sure that they, in common with the editor of this paper, will regret his departure. Mr. Jones has done hard work for the school at Ehrhardt, and has brought it up to a high standard of excellence. We are sorry to lose him as an educator and citizen, and the people of Ehrhardt will find they are making a mistake in allowing him to go elsewhere. They should keep him if possible. Depot Burglarized. Last Monday morning, a short time before daylight, a would-be burglar broke the large glass in the depot window and entered the office. He used a heavy piece of iron to crash the glass, and the same implement to break open one of the cash drawers. However, his raid did not profit him much, as lie oulv found about twen ty-five cents in change in the drawer. There were several checks in the drawer, but these were not touched., nor was anything in the office interfered with. Mr. C. J. S. Brooker was awakened by the noise, and he with Mr. Alex Barton went to the depot, but when they arrived the fellow had skipped. The robber left no traces behind him which would give a clue, and there is no likelihood of any arrests. Denmark Doings. Denmark, July 3.?The Fairfax baseball team came up to Denmark last Thurs-1 day afternoon and played a fine game with the Denmark famous nine. The young gentlemen on both teams battled hard for victory, and for four or five innings it was difficult to tell which was waging the fiercest war and what the final score would show. The Fairfax boys are fine players, far surpassing Denmark in any point of comparison. They were even better looking, so the Danish belles say, and your correspondent is not prepared to take issue with them on such a sensitive subject. Mr. Youmans, Fairfax's star pitcher, struck out the Denmark boys at a marvelous rate?made them real sick long before the ninth inning was reached. Preacher, the catcher, held him well, and exhibited rare tact in serving second base. Between these two the beauty of the game was made possible. Mr. Watson pitched for j the Denmark team a very fine game, but Mr. Kennerly, the catcher, could not stand him, nor could he play second base to any advantage. The score was 13 to 9, in favor of Fairfax. A large number of ladies were out to see the royal exhibit of "air sawing" on the part of the home boys. Quarterly meeting was held at Bethel church of this charge last Saturday. Pre siding Elder Brown \Cas present, ana with his usual power and personal ability made the occasion very educating to all attending. Mr. Brown preached at Denmark Sunday evening a very fine sermon, pronounced by many to have been the best sermon they have ever heard the elder deliver. The report of the circuit work was very good. The financial phases of the report were much better than usually presented at the second round. Mrs. S. A. Hand is very sick with typhoid fever, contracted while nursing her parents afflicted with fever sometime ago. Mrs. Hand has had fever for five weeks, and has suffered intensely at times. The Bell Telephone Company posted bulletins thirty minutes in advance of the Western Union Company during the recent presidential nomination. Denmark enjoys the distinction of being one of the central places of this great company. The various lines of wires are simply the exponents of her power in other facilities. Of course, Denmarkites do not claim the honor of having made these excellent advantages, but as a gift of the commercial world they hold sacred these endeared conveniences, and are sitting quietly dreaming of the past and praying for another wave of "world enterprise." Denmark has great wealth, individualized it is true, and somehow or other its people don't like to mix their dollars?a sad state of affairs when such a great thing as a cotton factory is being agitated. Mr. D. F. Hutto shipped a car load of fine melons to Norfolk last Tuesday. Mr. Hnttn pvnprts to yet a ffood Drice. as tele MMVW O" W A graphic advices assured him of favorable advantages.
