The most interesting part of a Weekly newspaper is the country news f IpUers, and we hope to make this a feature of The Bamuekg Herald. 4 handsome hue of summer clothing, stylish sejge coats, alpacas, crash, etc., ^ at McCraffa, Denmark. The State Supreme Court has decided that magistifttes shall charge the law and not the facts, as is the case in the highei courts. That if they do not Know me law then they should be removed. Such being the case, if the mandate of the court i; carried out, alxjut 90 per cent, of the magis trates in this State may expect their walk ing papers.

We were in error in stating last weefc that the hotel bills uf the State campaigi party were paid by the county Denio % Cratic executive committee.

",1- ?VJ />/,,,n?Tr Vuiortl rtf />Antro1 PAn [ 1 lit: U1U LUUUIJI waiu V* WWsisting of Messrs. G. P. Bamberg, C. R. i Clayton, and G. P. Perry, met at the court house last Thursday, the 5th, for the purpose of receiving reports from the several county dispensers. The monthly statement of the business done at the various dispensaries for the month of June is as follows: Bamberg?Sales, $1,247.07; invoice price, $942.93; gross profit, $304.13; expenses, $125.08; net profit, $179.05. ? Denmark?Sales, $650.07; invoice price, $485.41; gross profit, $164.65; expenses, $92.81; net profit, $71.84. Olar?Sales, $290.70; invoice price, $213.13; gross profit, $77.57; expenses, $75.51; net profit, $2.06. No other business was transacted by the board, they taking the position that they were simply holding over, pending the appointment of a new board. Therefore they took no action in reference to the election of dispensers. We have not heard whether our legislative delegation has yet agreed upon the members of the new county board of control, and things remain in statu quo. A Large Mortgage. Clerk of Court C. B. Free received at his office last Saturday evening the largest mortgage that has ever been recorded in Bamberg county. It is a mortgage given byt he Seaboard Air Line Railroad to the Continental Trust Co., of Baltimore, and is for seventy-five million dollars. The document was brought to Bamberg last Saturday evening by a Mr. Jones, who showed the original mortgage, and left a printed copy with Mr. Free to be recorded. The paper had $19,217 worth of revenue stamps on it. It is a long document, containing thousands of words, and will require about sixty pages of the mortgage book to record it iu.

My term of office will not expire for nearly two years from this time. I mi free to say in that length of time and it that age in life (should I live that long) hat all of my political aspirations and iffice-holding will have been fully gratiied. With the endorsement of the county Democracy of old Barnwell for six years is their chairman, and the confidence reposed in me bv elevating me to the lighest position in their jolt for a term )f four years, and coupled with that the lonor of holding the office of master in equity in the baby county of Bamberg, endered (unsolicited) through the kindless of Senator Maytield, I now feel that hould I live for the next two years, and erve out the unexpired term of master, hat I will have nothing to complain of at he hands of the people, but all to be hankful for. Those of my friends hroughout the county who have been so olicitous in my behalf in the race for the uaster's office have my sincere thanks, tut declining years forbid me. T. J. Counts. Jury List.

The crowd was large, numberng about three hundred, in spite of the " act that there were several other gather- ' ngs in the county, and some of them I lose by. True, the weather was red hot, >ut the people came from far and near. . beginning early in the morning, they ontinued to come until mid-day. In act, some came in the afternoon. About 12 o'clock Mr. J. T. O'Neal called , he meeting to order, and the regular exrcises were opened with prayer by Rev. xr v JrwiiTwnn Then Hon. S. G. Mav ield took the stand, and in a very brief lut happy manner introduced James E. Javis, Esq., the regularly invited speaker md orator of the day. Mr. Davis proved umself to be a ready man. While he did xot know until late the day before that le was to speak on this occasion, and vhile the invitation found him trying a ?se that lasted until about 6 o'clock p. n., yet he made an excellent speech, apjropriate, beautiful, eloquent. He never 1 >nce referred to his candidacy. After this address Mr. May field introduced some of the candidates, who pre;ented themselves and their claims to the people. About 3 o'clock a recess was taken and linuer was served in fine style. Suffice ,t to say that there was enough and to jpare. The 'cued meat was greatly en|oyed. Our old friend, Uncle Roland Simmons, aad the 'cue in charge, and his work was tiighly spoken of. Some said it was the best 'cued meat they had ever eaten. He is considered an expert by those who know him best. In the afternoon Mr. Davis was called to the stand to introduce some more of the candidates who did not have their say in the morning. After the speaking was over and the meeting regularly adjourned, the people began to yell "Davis! Davis! Davis!" Mr. Davis responded with an excellent little speech, in which he referred to his candidacy which he had not done in the morning, as we have already indicated. Among those who made speeches that were an honor to themselves and a great satisfaction to their friends, were Davis, Crum, Maylield and Bostick. This is not intended for an account of the occasion. It is nothing more than an imperfect outline. We predict a bright future for the West End Springs. It bids fair and deserves to be placed among the finest watering places of the State, and it is becoming famous. Some of the best people of this town say it does them more good than any water they can use, Glenn Springs not excepted. Success to him who furnishes this excellent health restorer, and to all who may be fortunate enough to use it. . . - . - . .." - i ' * ' * [hi A TO UETC Q Yes, I havetheui, ?v m j unco r aud t0 suit anv aste, and as to the prices why just call ind see.
