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

carried out, alxjut 90 per cent, of the magis
trates in this State may expect their walk
ing papers. But they needn't look fo]
them until after the primary.
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. The tnonej
was raised by private subscriptions froii
our citizens, and the entertaining of th<
candidates by our people is due to th<

*v of ice was caused by the unusual deman
for it in Charleston and the breakin
down of some of the large factories in th
State.

Shooter Turned Loose.
Last Saturday afternoon a young mar
named Walker was arrested for reckless
shooting within the city limits. It seems
that he was shooting, as he says, at s
' mark for practice, in his mother's yard
which is in the neighborhood of Mrs
Anna Grayson's. The ball from his pistol
came into her house, breaking a pane ol
glass in the side lights at the front door
Mayor Inglis and wife also reside witL
Mrs. Grayson, and we understand that
Mrs. Inglis was sitting on the piazza when
the shot was tired. We also heard that

County Board of Control.
",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. The paper
will have to be recorded in every county
where the railroad company owns property.

The board of trustees of the Bamberg
graded school met Tuesday and elected
j an additional teacher: Miss Bertha V

Co!. Couuts Will Xot Run.
Editor Bamberg Herald : In response
;o many inquiries as to whether or not
[ will stand for master in equity of Bamjerg
county, I desire to say that I will
lot. 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.

Barbecue at West End Springs. . j
The picnic and barbecue at West End J
lineral Springs on the 4th was a brilliant j
uccess. 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.
