L. Counts. S Our subscribers should remember that 1 it is no trouble to change the addresses of M their papers, and when they go away we are always glad.to forward the paper to them. Bamberg will be one of the best cotton markets in the State this season, and the oil mill will enable our farmers to bring their seed and exchange for meal, only t< making one trip. is The crone in Bamberg county will be M considerably shorter than last year?both a cotton and corn. Many good fgjauers say they will not make more than to twothirds of a crop. n The Barnwell county alliance will meet ii at Barnwell tomorrow, the 20th instant. ? Members of all snb-alliances are earnestly V requested to be present, as business of t< much importance will be transacted. Three coaches loaded with soldiers o passed through Bamberg last Saturday, going toward Augusta. The train did not stop here, so we do not know where they were from or where they were going. Straw hats in endless varieties, at Mc-Crae's, Denmark. u The btidt store which is being erected b by G. Moye Dickinson, next to the milli- t aery store of Mrs. M. L. Counts, is about j completed. It will be occupied by J. A. Q Yernon as a meat market and grocery y ^ . after August 1st. j, " Our list of correspondents is being tl added to, we are glad to say, but we want r more. Every section of the county a should be represented every week in the columns of The Bamberg Herald, tl Write us the news, friends. a Mr. J. C. Shipes has four acres of very ^ fine cotton, in fact the best we have seen si since we have been in this part of the cl State. He expects to make ten bales on tl ?, the four acres. Most of it now is over rive tl feet high and lapping in the rows. c< At the general sessions court iu Barnwell last week the trial of D. P. Johnson for killing B. R. Carroll at Blackville some months ago, w as tried. It resulted j in a mistrial. We understand the jury e stood eleven for acquittal and one for r, conviction. o Use lime in abundance around your r premises.

Lime is cheap?cheaper than a doctor's bill?and an ounce of c prevention is worth a pound of cure. a Shoes, shoes, shoes. All styles for ev- r erybody, at McCrae's, Denmark. 1 It strikes us that it would be a good j, idea for the town authorities to appoint a health inspector, and see to it that he c visits the premises of everybody iu town, '( requiring those to clean up their lots e where they are in bad condition.

Counts. < There was an error made by this paper ( in the publication of the quarterly state- t mf?nt of the Bambery Banking Co. two i weeks ago. The item due by banks should have been 25,862.95, and the item of per- < sonal deposits should have read 44,537.26. There were only two figures wrong, but they played havoc with the statement. The mistakes were made in correcting the proof. We make this statement to exonerate the bank officials. T. C. Rouis has reduced the price on all j his goods from now until September 1st. ( There was a lively runaway at the depot last Thursday morning. A mule hitched to a buggy became frightened from some cause, and dashed across the railroad just in front of a freight train that was shifting its cars. Just after getting across the animal succeed in turning the buggy over and almost demolishing it. He was then caught by somebody, and he stood as quiet as a lamb while the buggy was being righted, looking as if he hadnever been scared in his life. Crops in this section arc needing rain badly. Rev. J. W. II. Dyclies has been called to the pastorate of the Denmark Baptist chutcli. Mr. J. C. Copeland, of Ehrhardt, announces himself in this issue as a candidate for magistrate. Lots of watermelons and cantaloupes ire being shipped to Northern markets from this section now. Messrs. J.J. and A. E. H. Simmons have as tine crops as we have seen this season, for the acreage. There will no doubt be a large crowd it court here next week, as important criminal cases are to be tried. All grades of refined sugar have been ulvanced ten cents per one hundred pounds. Another result of the trusts. Mr. Otis Brabham has had many of his phones repaired bv an electrician from \nvusta. and the service is much better low. The Bamberg cot toil mills is doing well low, and it is hoped and believed that the nills will make a tine showing at the end >f this year. Watch the date on the label of your >aper, and if you owe us anything come n and settle up while you are in town ie\t week. What has become of Bamberg's base>all team ? Can't we get up some games vitk neighboring towns to relieve the uonotony of these dull days? Bamberg's people can soon be inde >endent of the sugar trust. It won't be ong before cane will be ripe, and we can 10 our own sweetening. We shall be glad to see any of our ountrv friends in our office next week. The latch string hangs on the outside, and ou will be cordially welcomed. The South Carolina Sons of Veterans rill meet in Greenwood Autrust 1st. Vhat's the matter with F. M. Bamberg 'amp?

At the Oil Mill. ] Work at the oil mill is going forward ' ow with a rush. The spur track has < eeu completed, and cars of brick are eing unloaded on the grounds. Last 1 'riday the long distance telephone force ame down and moved the poles which i ere on the line of track, and the track . iving was tinished yesterday. Work at tie main brick building is going on apidly, a large force of bricklayers being t work, and the walls will soon be up. < Carpenters went to work Monday on , tie wooden meal room and seed houses, nd the construction of these buildings ill go on as fast as possible. In fact, ' tiove is the watchword with those in 1 harge, and it is confidently expected that ] ae mill will be ready to run in good time ais fall. The otfice building is about 1 Dinpleted. ( Good Roads. The attention of all road overseers is ] irected to the notice of Supervisor } learse in another column. He wants the ( oads worked, and intends to see that all verseers do their duty, or they will be 1 einoved. Some of these officials have ; ot done their duty, and the supervisor as been blamed. So now they must do he work assigned them or get out. Ttfe supervisor informs us that the ountv chain gang will arrive here today nd begin work on the Cannon's bridge oad. He proposes to keep at it this ime until the road is in good fix. This an only be done by bridging some of the ikes, and this he expects to do. In this connection it might be well to ay that there was no criticism intended ^Supervisor Kearse in our good roads ditoriul of two weeks ago. It is true bat some of the roads around this town ire almost impassable, but the chain ^ang is not large enough, and he cannot vork the roads around Bamberg and legleot other sections of the county. We vere trying to impress upon our people he necessity of levying a special road ax of two mills, the" money to go on the oads iu the Bamberg school district. Denmark has such a tax, and we should lave it too. We cannot get good highvavs unless we pay for them. July Clearing Sale. Messrs. Pearlstiue & Sons, of Branch.'ille, desire to say to the readers of this >aper, that having beeu pleased with the success of their dune sale, that they will continue this clearance sale throughout he mouth of July, and it will be to your uterest in dollars and cents to see their itock and prices before making your purchases of whatsoever you need. R. Pearlstixe Soxs, Branchville, S. C. Epworth League. The Epworth League of Trinity M. E. church, South, in Bamberg, was reorganized a few days ago, with the following officers: President, W. D. Rhoad; 1st vice-president, Vance W. Brabham; 2nd vice-presideut, Mrs. M. A. Adams; 3rd vice-president, Miss Clara Riley; secretary, Hooton M. Felder; treasurer, J. Wilson Riley. The devotional meetings of the League are held on Tuesday night of each week j at the church, and "the public is invited to attend. Mrs. O'Dell was elected to represent the League at the Epworth League conference, to be held in Atlanta, Ga., July 26-29. Missing Papers Wanted. In looking over our file of The Bamberg Herald we find that it is incomplete. We need the following issues: Julv 13, July 20, August24 and November 30. "all for 1800. We also need a paper of March 29, 1900. We "feel sure that some of our subscribers have the papers we need, and we will be under lasting obligations if any one having any of these dates will please forward to us. It is important that our file be complete. Look over your old copies of the paper and see if you haven't the issues we need. Negro Shot. Erviu Felder, a negro who lives out on Mr. E. C. Hays's watermelon farm, was shot last Monday morning by Charlie Brown, another negro. The shooting was done with a gun loaded with bird shot, the load taking effect in the left breast. Ervin is not hurt much, as Brown was near him when he fired. We have not learned what the trouble was about. The two had a quarrel about some matter, and Felder started toward Brown, with no'weapon in his hand, when Brown raised his gun and tired. A warrant was sworn out for him, but he has not been arrested so far. Harlzog Happenings. Hartzog, July 16.?We are glad to rei-unt rhftt Mr Newton Smoak is imDrov lag in health. Mrs. Francis Bellinger is visiting her mother, Mrs. Mattie Black. Protracted meeting is going on at Zion church with large congregations. The weather is red hot, and finishing up plowing is the order of the day. Mr. Bellinger, of Bamberg, was in our vicinity Sunday. There is considerable sickness in the neighborhood, and Dr. Rentz is always on the go. Melons and boys are plentiful now. ZltiZAU. Summer School For Teachers. The county summer school began work at the Fitting school Monday morning under the tuitions of Messrs." J. Arthur Wiggins and S. W. Reaves, who were appointed* instructors by Superintendent McMahan several weeks ago. There are twelve earnest teachers in attendance and the work of the school promises to be very satisfactory in many respects. The enrolment should be larger. Bamberg county is in need of a more competent and better trained corps of teachers. The advantages are at your door, fellow teachers. It is a matter of profession, and if you propose to teach the children of this "great section, you had better put yourself in touch with the highest interest and methods of instruction now . offered to you. Read the law quoted below in regard to certificates already I granted and also the requirements demanded of those applying for certificates: "Section 18. A first grade certificate may be renewed by the county board 1 from which it was issued. If, however, j a teachers' institute or summer school is held in the county, a first grade certificate shall not be* renewed unless the 1 holder attends the institute or summer i school, or shows to the State board of , education some satisfactory reason for not doing so. A second grade certificate, class A, shall not be renewed except where the holder attends a teachers' in- 1 ititute or summer school and in such | case it may be renewed. A second grade certificate* class B, shall not be renewed." ; B a ford's Bridge Breezes. i Welcome showers fell this week. Auut Elliott Brabham, as she was affectionately known, who died in Bam- 1 berg last week, was brought to her old church, Mizpab, for burial. She lived in our neighborhood from the time of her marriage until tlie death of her husband. Although Aunt Elliott had lived over her four score years, we hated to see her go. Her Christian character speaks for itself, aud she leaves an example Worthy of being imitated. Miss Marion Kearse, of Kearse, is visiting relatives in this vicinity. Miss Mamie Rhode is visiting at Hartsog. . | The protracted meeting at Philadelphia Baptist church closed last Tuesday. Pastor W. G. Britton was assisted by Che Rev. E. C. Burts, of Blackville. Mr. Burts is an excellent preacher, and it is to be hoped a lot of good was accomplished. Olar aud Colston crossed bats on the ! former's grounds last Friday afternoon. The game resulted 42 to 4 in favor of Olar. Colston was w hitewashed six innings in succession. Olar has a "cracker- ' jack" team and will wipe up everything in Bamberg county before the season is , over. A very enjoyable sociable was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Kearse : last Friday evening. < Mr. R. M. Kearse is putting in an ele- . eator to his machinery. B. G. J. Kearse News. Kearse, July 16? Our school keeps increasing ; several new pupils last week, and the work done would surprise you for this hot weather. The members of Che fourth grade have taken a great interest in the multiplication table; they have been wrestling with the "9-times-T's" and "6-times-9's" for the last week, and un last Friday tliey contested for a prize penny, which was won by Hay Shaw. Our community was given a delightful rain last Thursday, which was certainly much needed by the crops in this section. Corn especially was suffering, and cotton, too, in some places had begun to turn yellow. Peaches, also, have been damaged. Misses Lou Hiers and Vie Breland, who for the past week have been visiting Mis9 Alma Wise at Williston, have returned. The Camp Hill school was opened up last Monday morning by Miss Banna Kinard. Misses Daisy Carter and Rosa Bishop, of Ehrhardt, spent last Saturday in our midst visiting friends. Protracted meeting began at St. John's church last Friday, which has been largely attended. Up to Sunday seventeen new members had been received. Rev. Robt. Williams is assisting the pastor, Rev. E. W. Peeples. Mr. Jesse E. Carter, who is taking a course in the Normal school at Nashville, Tenn., spent last week visiting relatives and friends in our community. Mr. Wade Miley spent last Friday night at Mr. Henry Ritter's. Mr. Mil^y is one of our former teachers, and we will all be glad to have him visit our school. Mr. J. C. Breland went to Ehrhardt last Thursday morning. We want with which to buy shades for the windows of our school house. Who will help ? Don't all speak ?< Cal ley Breland. The Atlanta Constitution tells how a minister got even with a mean man who had invited him to dinner. The mean man had plenty of money, but he didn't spend it on his table, which on that occasion showed but scant fare. "Parson," said the mean man, "times are hard an' groceries high, but, sich as it is, you're welcome. Will you ax a blessin'V" "I will," replied the parson; "fold your hands." And then he said: "Lord, make us thankful for what we are about to receive?for these greens without bacon, this bread without salt, this coffee without sugar?and after we have received it give thy servant strength to get home in time for dinner." The Republican State convention of Kentucky met in Louisville this week, and nominated John W. Yerkes for governor. F.hrliurdt Etchings* Eurhardt, July 11.?Having seen nothing of any importance from this section for several weeks. I beg leave to submit the following: Mr. T. I). Jones, of Newberry, who for several years has successfully taught in our school as principal, will leave for Columbia about September 1st, where he has accepted a splendid position as principal in one of the high schools of that city. We are very sorry to lose him. but wish him all the success in his new tield possible. Messrs. J. M. Dannellv and J. D. j Quattlebaum are erecting a mammoth building, in which they expect to carry a nice line of buggies and wagons, and also run a sale and livery stable. This is a new enterprise in our little town, and I think a much needed one. We are a live people, and hope to have a bank in the near future. Our only drawback is the railroad being headed here, but we think this will soon te remedied, as there is some talk of its being extended to Barnwell or Denmark. Crops are suffering some for rain. Farmers say about half a crop will be the average this year. Two souls made happy. He v. J. H. Wilson last Sunday night at 12 o'clock married Mr. A. K. Kent/, to Mi*s Annie Hughes. Mr. D. C. Copeland has been very sick", but is rapidly improving; also Mrs. J. M. Dannelly is convalescing slowly. If all reports are true marriage bells will begin to ring in August, and continue at intervals until Christmas. . Having a good time is the order of the day here. Picnics, fish fries, and excursions of all kinds are planned and carried out with a rapidity that would startle most people. There is nothing like it, especially when the fair sex are along. Messrs. J. M. Dannelly, Ben T. Brown, Isaac W. Copeland, Isaac H. Carter and G. B. Kearse left for Charleston this morning. Mr. G. L. Kinard will erect n residence on his lot for rent?that is, if he doesn't use it himself. Gke Haw. New Forest Times. The times are very dull here. Only killed two snakes, pulled one tooth, and naii.rlit ivM l-liir-L-.'lK ;lt llllf kuc uatt a cau^uv n? v grab. We have beeu resting easy until Kolb Gem has got ripe, aud we are going to have picnics and protracted meetings now. Our debate at New Forest last Saturday night was very fine. We are going to have a joint debate with the Jim Swing flub next Saturday night. I guess the people of Bamberg are happy, especially the candidates." If there are as many there as here, they remind me of the story about the man painting a spot on the end of a log and his dogs jumped a rabbit one day, and seven hundred of his dogs killed themselves trying to get in the log; and seven hundred candidates are going to kill themselves trying to get in office. He is riding early and late; Watch out for the candidate. He is going to make a call, Claim first cousins with you all. A great long smile, a eutawav coat. He is pleading for every man's vote. When there's a tapping at your gate, Remember it is time for the candidate. Observer. Denmark Doings. Denmark, July 17.?Mr. J. Monroe Cox, one of Denmark's most stable characters, died last Thursday evening, after a long and lingering illness. Mr. Cox has lived a pure, christian life, and has left for his bereaved family a name worthy of all praise, and which must now be a means of grace and consolation to his devoted family in their sorrow and sore bereavement. A large number of friends and relatives followed his lifeless form to the cemetery, where the burial ceremony was read by Rev. Paul F. Kistler, and where the last tribute of exchange between the living and the dead was perpetuated in the memory of all by the erection of the sacred mound which will mark the resting place of a good husband, a noble father and a worthy citizen. Mr. Coy was onlv fiftv-four vears old, but in that time he worked most faithfully in the vineyard of his God. He has left to his heirs no massive wealth, which might have insured ease and comfort during their earthly pilgrimage, hut instead he has left to them the record of an honorable manhood and gained for himself eternal blessings, the value of which cannot be measured by earthly coin. A devoted wife and two promising children mourn the loss of husband and father. A whole community mourns the death of one of its noblest citizens. The coming session of court at Bamberg will draw a large crowd. The docket is composed of some exciting cases, which for months have been topics of discussion for all classes of people. Some will go to this temple of justice with a feeling of the oppressed, others will go with a longing for justice. May the greatest endowments of men so guide and so regulate human passions that right will still be right and that wrong will still be wrong. The court house is a place of refuge?at least it should be?and when it becomes recognized as the place of justice, the laws of our State will become the rock upon which this great commonwealth may build its future hopes and purest aspirations. The farmers have about conquered the grass, and the crops in general are more promising. Some fine fields of cotton may be seen on the hills surrounding this town. Mr. G. W. Goolsbv has the finest, piece of corn in this section, taking numerous conditions and circumstances into consideration. It is rumored around that the politicians are making some deals. I wonder what that means? Is it possible that such is the resort of a great people in their efforts to build higher and higher the statue of A rwilitifol pninhinMinn in JiUClLJt . a. pWttMVM. ? Bamberg county is just as notorious ami disgraceful as any Republican trust that* is now crushing the life out of Southern manhood and industry. A combination trust! God deliver us* This old staunch people, the representatives of this section, have not had the pleasure of talking with the ambassador of the political trust, but hope that when he does come his overture will be peace, honor and integrity. Who will unfurl the standard, "Pure* politics and pure men V" Der Unterzejchxer. The Festive Mosquito. The following tip is for those who are worried by those very troublesome creatures, mosquitos: "Throw a bit of alum about the size of a marble into a small bowl of water, and wet the hands and face and any exposed parts lightly w ith it. Not a mosquito will approach you. They hum about a little aud disappear.
