Thursday, August 2, 1900.
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we do not publish it.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

no personal animosity against Mr. Evans.

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

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*

'? - : 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

After a married life of lift y-four years'2
they were present ami helped to enliven |
the aeeasion, and fully enjov the boun-1 _

Olar, July 30.?Mr. Nick Ritter, one <
of Buford's Bridge's old and honorable
citizens, was found dead in bed last Fri- J

be apoplexy. Mr. Ritter was a gallant
Confederate soldier and good citizen. He

about completed. 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

Shot by a Negro. I
Charlotte, N. C., July 30.?Squire u
John Hunter, who lives at Derita, was
shot by a negro and painfully, though ^
not seriously injured. He was standing b
in his barnyard gate, when three negroes o

the gate one of the negroes pulled a revolver
and fired on Mr. Hunter, the bullet
entering his leg. The negroes then f]

by Rev. Henry S. Hartzog, of Clemson
College. Hundreds of visiting friends
were also present, offering congratu- ^
lations to the worthy promoters and join- l

ness that characterized the day. Dr. ^
Hartzog M as in good trim, and preached v
a line sermon, using for his text the 23d a

kindness of their God as be recognized the ^
services of his children. Between seven E
and eight hundred people were present.
Rev. T. J. Sandifer is in high favor M*ith c
his members, and has established himself
in their good estimation. He is highly t
appreciated. It is said by many Mho ^
have listened to the young preacher that s
he is fast becoming America's Spurgeon E
and Carolina's Talmage. The church will t
seat six hundred people, and M ill ever a
stand as the monument ot hundreds 01 3
generous donors, who are now proud to a
be numbered among the promoters of c
such a beautiful, sacred enterprise. a
Fairfax and Denmark baseball teams a
have been playing a series of games dur- a

siasm has been aroused by both nines, in c
so much that very excellent playing char- ^
acterized their public exhibitions. Denmark
has won the laurels, having defeated t
Fairfax in the final contest last Thursday
afternoon. The score was 5 to 9.
Dr. J. W. Wyinan has begun work on a r

A Mother Tells How She Saved Her
Little Daughter's Lite.
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,

Down in Camden, N. J., the people are
only just a very little lower than the
angels. The other day a preacher baptized
52 of them, and he requested each one that
had ever told a lie or stolen anything to
raise the hand. 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. He uses Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and says
he never found anything that would give
him such quick relief. It is for safe by

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. The break is being repaired
in a thorough manner and was
! ready last night for the trains.?The

Story of a Slave.
To be bound band and foot foryears by
the chains of disease is the worst form of *
slavery. George 1). Williams, of Manchester,
Mich., says: '*My wife has been _
so helpless for live years that she could
not turn over in bed alone. After using
two bottles of Electric Bittersshe is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own
work." This supreme remedy for female
diseases quickly cures nervousness, sleeplessness,
melancholy, headache, backache,
fainting and dizzy spells, it is a godsend
to weak, sickly, run-down people ^

[Textile Excelsior.] j
It is stated that .1. S. BJalock, or Bold- p
ville, near Laurens, is preparing to erect t
a cotton yarn mill on his plantation to be t
capitalized at $80,000. Mr. Blalock is one I
of the largest planters in northern South l
Carolina, and already owns his own
cotton seed oil mill, iiis own telephone line
and other modern conveniences.
Messrs. Lockwood, Greene A: Co., of
Boston, Mass., are the. architects and
engineers for the new Hartsville Cotton \
Mills, of Hartsville, mentioned in last f
week's issue. Plans are now being made, e
and as soon as finished work will commence.
Charter has been granted the Woodruff
Cotton Mill, of Woodruff. The
capital stock is placed at $200,000. At a
recent meeting the following officers were
elected: A. W Smith, president and
treasurer; E. A. Smythe, vice president;
J. B. Kilgore, secretary. 1
The Fairfield Cotton Mills, of Winnsboro,

of the mill at present is 5,000 spindles.
T. W. Lauderdale is president.
The Edgefield Mfg. Co., of Edgefield,

The Alpha Cotton Mills, of Jonesville,
will add an additional 2,00ft spindles to
their plant, which is now in course of

issue $25,000 of 7 per cent, preferred r
stock, this increase to be used in purchasing
the increase in equipment. The
