This paper has not printed the personal details of the Bamberg dispensary row, for the reason that both the gentlemen concerned are candidates. We have published the legal disposition of the case, and there our duty ends. We do not intend to write it up on our own responsibility. " We have received a letter from Mr. H. H. Evans, of the State board of con^ V trol, in reference to our chanre that he has free samples of liquor shipped to him, but as it is of a confidential nature we do not publish it. He denies the charge, and our reason for writing this is to give the public the benefit of his denial. We shall not pursue the matter fur nnlacc the iccilP Jc for WP h?Ye iUVl UUIV^ ?uv ?w ^v.x.V) .. no personal animosity against Mr. Evans. ybjr # ? Just so sure as an election comes off you will always hear of combinations being made among certain candidates or certain people. It makes us sick; we've been hearing this kind of thins: all our E* life, and are thoroughly disgusted. If people can lind no other reason for opposing a man they've a pretty weak case. Let us hear no more talk of combinations in Bamberg county politics, for we candidly believe none exist nor have existed during this campaign. P m Sumter's postoffice has been raised to second-class. This is undisputable proof that this thriving city is one of the best business places in the State. The people there stand solidly together in matters 'that effect the best interests of their city, and they are reaping the rewards of their labors. There may be other places in the State as good as Sumter, but the testimony of the writer, who was fortunate enough to be a resident there for six ?.. ? ikoi-u ic nn hottpr ritv than yC*V13, tixat lutiv u uv wv?.v. ---J Sumter, in ever}- way, anywhere. - In view of certain rumors, we wish again to emphatically state that The Bamberg Herald is not "boosting" any any candidate for county offices. The fa<? is, even we desired the election of any man, from a personal standpoint, our paper would not be used to compass his election. We have nothing against any candidate iu the field, and we are trying to treat each one exactly fair. The columns of this paper are open to them ail, at our regular advertising rates, and all matters of this kind which we print are paid for as advertising. We are in the & , business to make a living, not to elect people to office. Barney Evans seems to be going round with the campaign party solely to abuse and villify, and, if possible, defeat W. D. Evans?a man whom we have known V .V since our boyhood, and who is an honest, upright gentleman. He has the esteem and confidence of all who know him, and the people of his county have always stood solidly to him. His manly and dignified bearing on the stump has won for him many friends. We suppose Barney knows he will never be elected, and ie cim-nlv rpntinor his SDleen UDOn W. < - **" O 4 D. Evans, in the hope that it may defeat him. But the people who love fair play will see to it that W. D. Evans is reelected railroad commissioner, a position which he has tilled with great credit, and for which he is better qualified thau ever before. We hope to see Bamberg county give him a large majority. Senator Tillman is being scored heavily on account of his statement as to there being an unholy alliance between the preachers and barkeepers to defeat the dispensary. Well, the Senator might *. have been wrong in using such strong language, and if he had asked our advise we would have advised him not to say so. No one, however, will deny, we think, that in this election the whiskey men and preachers will vote together? for prohibition, but from different mo* ? ? 1'" "... *Ka mnn I 11TCS. tic auun i Lie n uioac^i uivu < v.v? '? - : for Featherstone in the last race, and no doubt they will vote for Hoyt this time. The preachers ought to know South Carolina politics and when they go into politics they should expect to be treated as politicians. Some of the hardest things that have been said about Tillman and the dispensary law have been said by preachers, and if they don't want rocks thrown at them they shouldn't fling the first brick. We don't blame the ministers for working for prohibition, but the question has become a political one, and will be settled at the polls. Killed by a Mule. 'f. . " Columbia, S. C., July ol.?Christina Veal, a colored girl, was killed Sunday at her father's place about nine miles from the city, by a mule. The girl was about nine years of age. While the mule was drinking Christina got a switch and began to play with the business end of the animal. Out went both heels, one striking the girl in the head, the other striking her in the stomach. She was instantly killed. Numbering the People. Washington*, July 31.?Director of the . Census Merriam says that over 10,000,000 names have been counted by the force in the census office. The accounts of the enumerators are now being settled at the rate of 1.000 a day. Ten thousand enumerators have received the balance due them, and their accounts are closed. Eleven hundred young women are employed in tabulating the returns from ^ enumerators. Each operator on the punching machine is expected to riuish 600 cards each day. It is estimated that the population of the United States will be between 76,000,- 1 000 and 77.000,000. Some of the officials, however, believe the total population will not exceed 72,000.000. The complete returns will be given out about December 1. 1 - Lees Locals.

( Buford's Bridge Breezes. ' Olar, July 30.?Mr. Nick Ritter, one < of Buford's Bridge's old and honorable citizens, was found dead in bed last Fri- J day morning. The cause is supposed to be apoplexy. Mr. Ritter was a gallant Confederate soldier and good citizen. He was about 70 years old. He leaves a wife * and three children, besides a host of ^ friends and relatives to mourn his death. ( His remains were laid to rest at Diver 1 Pond burying ground last Saturday morntog I Mr. John F.

The trustees have ^ given out the contract to have the interior n of the building thoroughly painted. Mr. ^ Wiggins has on hand a do/en beautiful t wall pictures, which will add much to the jj appearance of the rooms. t The recent assertion of Senator Tillman, in regard to the "unholy alliance,"' is having very little effect on the people ot this community. It is thought that the t Senator ivill succeed in calling the dis- 1 pensary supporters to the front rank, and Hoyt will have a numerous body to y overcome, ft is the problem itself which a i* agitating the people, and not men. c Many would gladly vote for the prohibition candidate if they could even hope j for an improvement in the liquor traffic, v Col. Hoyt has never made himself plain ^ in the matter of enforcing prohibition. If he could succeed in doini: this, his r w 8 election would be assured. Thousands v of voters have in view the adoption of I that system which will bring the evil r down to its minimum power and in- ^ fluence. P Der Unterzeich:cek. Shot by a Negro. I Charlotte, N.

I am the mother of eight children, and have had a great deal of experience with medicines. Last summer my little daugh ter had the dysentery in its worst form. We thought she would die. I tried everything I could think of, but nothing seemed to do her any good. I saw by an advertisement in our paper that Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diairluea Remedy was highly recommended, and sent and got a bottie at once. It proved to be one of the very best medicines we ever had in the house. It saved my little daughter's life. 1 am anxious for every mother to know what an excellent medicine it is. Had I known it at rirst, it would have saved me a great deal of auxiety and my little daughter much suffering.?Yours truly, Mrs Geo. F. Burdick, Liberty, R. I.

Not a hand was raised, and since tfien the preacher has moved away from the community saying he could do nothing there. During the civil war, as well as in our late war with Spain, diarrhoea was one of the most troublesome diseases the army had to contend with. In many instances it became chronic, and the old soldiers still suffer from it. Mr.David Taylor, of Wiud Ridge, Greene county, Pa , is one of these.

Extensive Washout. Yesterday the Southern railway was running us utuus ucmccu ^.uiumvio uuu i Charleston via Blackville and the Pernextension. It was all due to an ugly washout. The train due here from Charleston Saturday night at 9:30 o'clock had not yet reached the city yesterday afternoon. Near St. Matthews a cloud burst was encountered and ahout one mile this side of the station the water played havoc. The track was washed out for a distance of about a half mile. The train got safely over one point, which gave way very soon afterwards. Then it crept along until the track became covered by water to a depth of about three feet. The engineer stopped then and found that the track ahead was gone. The passengers remained in the train throughout the I night. A construction, crew was sent I from Branchville and began work as the I water receded. A relief train was sent I down from Kingville and brought the passengers, mail clerks and mails into Columbia, reaching here at 7:45 yesterday morning.
