We have received a boll of open cotton which was plucked last Thursday, the 26th, on the farm of Mr. Fickling, near Lees. Quite a number of people attended the dedication services of Ghent's Branch Baptist church last Sunday, notwithstanding the rain. The campaign liar is abroad in the land at this season.

Out friends give us lots of taffy about what a good paper we are giving them, but they don't stop there. They pay their subscription as well, thus showing that they mean what they say. Work on the oil mill buildings has been delayed on account of the scarcity of brick and lumber, but they arc going forward now. The buildings now are far enough up to make quite a show. On account of a washout between Br&nchville and Columbia, all the trains of the Southern railway, between Charles- 1 ton and Columbia, were run through Bamberg Sunday and Monday. Last Saturday a guard from the penitentiary came down for Dan T. Gunnels, and he was carried to the penitentiary, at Columbia, to begin his sentence of live years for the killing of W. G. Grimes. Lots of our subscribers are away during these hot days, at one summer resort or another. But they want The Bambekg Herald, and each one is careful to have it 9ent to them all the time they are away. Every voter should see that his name is on the Democratic club rolls. The roles of the party require that all names be on the roll at least five days before the primary. Look after this matter if you want to vote. T* a rrannino rvlCllrf> to lHaiJV of 11 wcw a ^vuuauv ? - ? us to see Mr. A. E. H. Simmons in town last week. He has been ill for a long time, but seems to be gaining strength now. His host of friends hope he will soon be restored to complete health. Mr. J. A.

Barnwell People. Now is a good time to keep cool, physically and politically.- Let the candidates get warm if they wish. They are after the plums. But the people, to whom the orchard belongs, have no call to overi work themselves. It is enough for them to give the fruit. Last Saturday night the show window in Dowling's jewelry store was accidentally or purposely broken, anil a sneak thief put his hand iuside and purloined a cheap watch fob. Nothing else was taken, although there was some expensive ; jewelry iu the window. ^ - A man who has recently settled in .lef-' ferson countv, Ark., has the euphonious name of J. Ottebaubenlropeasteincrshaubenbecker. Now, suppose that man lived in Bamberg county, and then imagine what Brooks All would do if he i had to call him iuto court! Our correspondents are doing us proud ; these days. Last week's issue showed up ! well for them, aud we hope they will keep j vm th? oruvt u-i.rlr \\\. the CO- I operation of our friends to make Tiik Bambebg Herald what it should he, and would be glad to have our list of correspondents added to. A nice cement pavement has been put down in front of the stores of Move ?!t I Dickinson, J. Vernon, Mrs. M. J,. I Counts and J. A. Spann, for which j Messrs. G. Move, Dickinson and J. A. i Spann deserve the hearty thanks of| pedestrians. Would that more of our merchants would follow their example. Strayed.?One pointer puppy, ahout five months old, white with brown spots. Reward if returned to W. D. Rhoad. The citizens of the lower part of the county have signed a petition, askingthat the star route and free mail delivery, now stopping at Colston, be extended from Colston postoftice to J. C. McMillan's. The petition has been sent to Congressman Talbert, and we hope he will use his best efforts to have the route extended. The present mail facilities of those people are very poor, and they are justly entitled to what they ask for, gfev- . 7 V < * There arc no prisoners at all in ja now. Attention is directed to the notice c Captain \V. F. Stokes, to theold soldier: in another column. Don't get excited about politics an fall out with your friends. Differ if yo j must, but do so in an honest, friendl way. Uur advice to every voter in Baniber county is to vote according to his hones convictions, remembering that he is r? sponsible to God alone for the use h makes of his ballot.

The government crop report show that about the same conditions as to cot ton exist in all the Southern States. Tin crop is backward, aud it has been iujurec everywhere, even in Texas., Just now i looks like the farmer stands a fairchanct of receiving 10 or 12 cents for his cottoi next fall. Won't some of our friends look aniont their old papers and see if they have tin missing issues we want to complete oui tilThey are important to us, and w< would l?e indeed glad to receive them See the notice in another columns for tin dates wanted. Tuesday afternoon Mr. E. C. Bruct sent us by Mr. J. A. J. Bice a stalk oi corn, cut from the farm of Mr. B. K. San difer, which has seven eais on it, am they are good sized ones, too. There i: lifty acres in the held this stalk was cm from, but of course it is not all so hue a: the stalk sent us. Let the new subscribers come on. W< want to push our circulation near tht 2,000 mark, and could do so if every mat who needs the paper will invest one dol iar. We are publishing one of the besi dollar papers iu the State. In fact, oui friends say it is as good as any at ant price, and they ought to know. Accidentally Shot. Little Lee Blume was accidentally shoi in the arm with a small ride loaded wit! a small shot cartridge, last Saturday morn ing, near the depot.

Klein here will be sorry to know that he is going to leave Bamberg. After mature liberation, he has decided to make his home in Abbeville, where he will organize a music class. He will also be organist at the Methodist church there. Out people regret the departure of Mr. and Mrs. Klein, and commend them to the good people of Abbeville. Official Caudidates.

Bamberg deserves the till : of a iine grain farmer. This year on ID ; ai res of land he made 510 measure : bushels of oats, threshed out, the yiel ! being almost til'ty bushels per acre. Thi I is an unprecedented crop, not only i Bamberg county, but for the whole Stati ; and we would like to hear from othe j counties. On the same land in 1898 h i made 4S5 bushels. When it is remen beicd that he inakis two crops on th same land each year, it will be seen tha there is some money in farming after allprovided you farm right. Would ths we had more such farmers as Capt. Ban berg. il Mr. O'ltalPs Sermon. Last Sunday morning at the Met hod is! * church Rev. T. C. O'Dcll preached a scr moil on tlie relation and duty of tlx p chureh to the State, in the course ol u which he discussed the prohibition (pies X tion and paid his respects to Senatoi Tillman. We regret not being present tc ? hear the discourse, and as this is a sub ?_ jeet of great interest to our people just e now, we requested of him an outline ol the sermon for publication. The followl" ing is only the notes of the discourse, and e is by no means all he said: Subject: The relation and the duty of . the Church to the State. Text?Matt. 22-yi. Render therefore unto Ciesar the things which are Ciesar's, and unto God 1 the things that are wnas. wessons? s Matt. 22:15-22; Romans 13:1-7. I. Things usually goto extremes. The 1 Roman Catholic church dominated over - the State until toleration became inipos" sible, aud the State went to the other extreme and declared herself entirely independent of the church, etc. The ministry has a right, and it is their duty, to speak to their congregations upon all moral s questions, though it may involve political - issues. Christ and Paul, his chief Apostle, t* diil it. 1 II. The relation and duty of the church t to the State is similar to that of an elder ? sister to a younger?she should advise l and admonish. The church is older than the State. Civil government was not neT cessarv until sin entered iuto the world. ? The church is intrusted with the duty of r discriminating moral principles; the State i with administering civil discipline. Whenever the State enacts laws that are I in direct opposition to the written word | of God, the church should denounce it t! and seek to correct it. * j III. We claim to be a christian uatiou, and our civil laws should be in keeping j with the principles of Christ's teaching. ' The dispensary law of South Carolina * is not in keeping with the teachings of , Christ: C) Because it encourages drunk ?*- i lu.v(<r(<tn I'llUTO in I'UCIIUX lll|UUl u? u all who wish so to use it. (2.) Because it - is in direct opposition to the expressed ! will of God. Hab. 2:15. 1 IV. That old aud puerile cry, that pro hibition does not prohibit, is unworthy 1 an intelligent man's notice. Upou this r ground the advocates of it should do away ' with the dispensary law, for no law is worse abused and violated than it. Gov. McSweeney said himself that he could not enforce it. t V. Senator Tillman's charge that "there is an unholy alliance of preachers and 1 barkeepers, led by Col. Hoyt," is untrue, and an insult to the ministry of the State. ? He admits that he may have been technically wrong in saying it; says there may have been no agreement between them. 5 An alliance cannot be formed without an I agreement, and, taking his own words for t it, his charge is untrue. Summer School for Teachers. \ The county summer school is in the midst of its third week's work and will come to a close August 11. The attendance has not increased, but the small t band of earnest teachers are making re suits, which will in turn add greater ; I reputation to the country schools. The ? teachers are cognizant of the modern de? mauds, and are exerting themselves in : order to meet all issues which may involve the individual ability or character iu the matter of better schools and better teachers. The courses offered at summer schools are in direct line with country school work. It is marvelous to note the rapid progress made in these schools and the general equipment of the teacher in his efforts to become a broader and deeper student. Teachers are. generally paid very little for their services, especially in country schools. May be, past ability has been very dear at twenty-five or thirty dollars per month. The State realizes that her teaching force is to a large extent incompetent and has made a bold, yet noble > effort to offer special training to every ? ~rtoniMnnr fin in. iliau ex nuuiau (upmug iu wwuujv .u structor of children. The summer schools of the past two years have worked a revolution in the educational work of the State which is now either making the . teacher greater and more useful or else weeding out the incompetent pessimists ' who are at their best greater competitors than they are teachers. It is not the pur, pose of the State to destroy the teacher, but if the opportunity offered is not embraced, why by sheer necessity the untrained must give way to more intelligent educators. ' Trustees' and Patrons' Day" will be held at the Carlisle Fitting School next Friday, August 3. This is in connection , with the summer school, and is intended by the State Superintendent of Education as an appeal as well as an invitation to all patrons and trustees of the county. At this meeting many questions of special interest to country schools will be , discussed. New Advertisements. . Davison & Fargo?Cotton factors. CARLISLE FITTING SCHOOL. ; The attention of our readers is directed . to the advertisement of this institution in this issue. Last session was one of ' the most prosperous in the history of the school, and it is expected that there will be a still larger attendance at the next session. With one of the finest buildings and arrangements of any similar school anywhere, and a moral and religious control of the students, our people ean do 110 better than to send their boys and ' girls here to be prepared for college or the orJinary duties of life. ' COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON, This institution has an advertisement in this issue, to which attention is directed. There is a free tuitiou scholarship from this county to be awarded. See the ad. for full information. Teacher Elected. Bamberg, S. f\, July 9, 1900.?'The , patrons and trustees of the colored public school held a meeting on the above date f to elect trustees for the ensuing year, viz.: George B. Daniels, chairman; John ' W. Green, Henry Green. Also a meet. iug on the 2t>th to elect a teacher, having several applications. Geo. \V. Rivers, of the place named above, was elected as principal. The Campaigners at Gaffiiey. Gaffxey, S. C., July 30.?The yeo manry of Cherokee county turned out in force today to attend the political circus. ' The attendance was fair, and good order and good humor prevailed. ' The performance began with the introduction of the candidates for railroad commissioner. Each in his turn made his bow and little speech, and retired on schedule time. The candidates for governor made their usual speeches, Mr. McSweenev protesting that the dispensary el- - : , r 1 1 law had been euiorceu, uuu iucuiucia iuji 1 * | sisting to the contrary. From the plaudit* " | of the crowd, it appeared that Walt Whitd man was a very popular candidate. lS There were'some lively tilts betweeu some of the seekers after the lieutenaul 1 1 governor's place and the candidates foi f> State superintendent of education, r Ben Tillman, as usual, was reserved foi e the last, and it is useless to say that ht i- had the crowd. He took a hand primarj c to test the settlement for and against the it dispensary. The result was an over - whelming majority for the dispensary, it The day passed pleasantly, and" th< u crowd seemed repaid for their trouble and attention, J. J. Harrison Robbed in Augusta. t Mr. J. .T. Harrison, from Barnwell, S. C., came up to the city yesterday and ; brought with him five hundred and thirtyf five dollars, there being in the pile twenty-three twenty dollar bills, with the r remainder in bills of a smaller denomi> nation. Mr. Harrison had the money in a ; pocket book, and the book was in the in: side pocket of his coat. Yesterday "morning he was carried to 1 the house of Dasha Davis, 011 Walker street, by John Nash Adams, a colored barber, and while in the house pulled otT his coat and hung it on a chair. When he put on his coat on leaving the house he felt for the money, but it had disappeared. Adams was suspected, and arrested by Sergt. Shed and Detective Wise. Adams denies his guilt. The house was searched, but 110 trace of the missing money had been gotten at 10 o'clock last night. Adams is still in jail.?Augusta Chronicle, Wednesday, August 1st. Delightful Services at the ltaptist Last Sunday Morning. The pastor. Rev. W. E. Johnson, stimulated by the presence of a large congregation, took this the first opportunity to express his gratitude 111 the follow ii g words: "It gives me pleasure to appear before you again at this time and in this ph.ee 10 preach to you the glorious gospel of God's dear son. And I would be recreant to duty if I did not express to you in some sort of way my warm, sincere, and heartfelt thanks for your loving, loyal sympathy which you have bestowed upon mc with unstinted hands through the three long wearv summer months that have passed since I appeared J before you in this capacity. There come times in our lives when language fails to express the feelings and emotions that move and stir our hearts, and if there was ever such a time in my life that time is now. T fliinl- <>f riinr cmmtiint love. UVU X luiun v? 1 wu? v v... .. . .7 sympathy and devotion to me, while I have been passing through the fiery furnace, I find myself powerless to express in words the gratitude that wells up in my heart. It is simply more than tongue can tell. Please accept my thanks, my 1 love, my soul. Command whatever 1 have or whatever I can do or be to you. My love, my life, luvall I offer you in t Jesus'name till my latest breath. In this ' expression of gratitude my family join ' me most heartily." , Subject of the Sermon?U0ur Depen- I dence Upon the Holy Spirit." From < these words was delivered one of his best sermons and from the expressions of many of his congregation but few have ever surpassed it both in delivery and < goo<l logic." T. China and the Cotton Market. In view of the large exports of cotton goods from this country to China, and the influence which the situation there may exercise on the price of cotton, our people will naturally follow the course of events in the far East with great interest, and we therefore commend the enterprise and thought fulness of Davison & Fargo, cotton factors of Augusta, who are getting up a series of three maps showing China, Japan, the Phillipines, India, Siberia, Ac., which thev will mail free to their friends and customers as soon as the work is completed which will be in about ten days. Attached to the maps will be a brief but adequate account of the Chinese empire, its form of government, commercial development, trade, railways, treaty ports, Ac. The work is being*done by Rand, McNally A Co., of Chicago, who are the biggest map people in the world. Messrs. Davison A Fargo also deserve great praise for keeping their customers posted by their mar ket letters which are regularly maueu, ; and are a great boon to the farmers who would otherwise be without information for days at a time. This firm has built i up a large and increasing business dur- ] ing the past eleven years. While comparatively young men they have had long . experience and have every facility for I handling, storing, making cash advances I on shipments of cotton, and liberal loans in the spring.

In our report of the campaign meeting > at Olar, the details of the discussion as t to the Bamberg dispensary matter were [ purposely omitted, for the reason that b it was a personal matter. But as there is some dissatisfaction expressed, we publish the following: In the course of * his speech Dr. Black made the statement that Mr. Mavfield had said to Major Hays that he at first intended to appoint a kinsman of Mr. J. D. Felder on the county board of control, so that Mr. Felder would be excluded from the position of dispenser by operation of law. This Mr. May field said was untrue. Dr. Black desires us to state tbat Major Hays sustains * him in regard to this statement. NOTICE. The surviving soldiers and sailors of Bamberg county will meet at some convenient place in their respective town- ] ships on Saturday, the 11th day of Au- I gust, and organize by electing a chairman and secretary, ami when so organized they shall elect one representative.

The Confederate Reunion. < 4 The Confederate Veterans will hold their annual meeting this week in the town of Greenwood. The people of that progressive city have been making great preparation for this gathering of the men who wore the grey, the representatives of the heroes of the Southern army. The old soldiers are worthy of double honor, and they should be held in everlasting remembrance by the present and coining generations. It is to be hoped that the veterans may have a happy time in ' Greenwood as they meet and talk over the stirriug events of '<>1 to '(Jo. It is a matter of great regret that Gen.
