their seed and exchange for meal, only t<
making one trip. is
The crone in Bamberg county will be M

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.

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

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.

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.

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." ;

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,

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 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."

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.

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.

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

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

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

it. Not a mosquito will approach you.
