Thursday, August 9, 1900. %.. r The State newspaper says Tillman's hand primaries prove nothing, and all candidates would do well to abandon it. The crowds are not voting The State's way, however. North Carolina has gone Democratic by about 50,000 majority, and the constitutional amendment which will disfran. chise ignorant voters, has been carried. This ought to relieve that State from her political ills, as it means the dowufalj ol the Butler-Pritchard combination. Politics in Charleston is getting warm A few men, styling themselves the "advisory board" met and nominated a ticket for county offices, and the people are kicking at a great rate. We wish them success in their efforts to down ring ruk hnssism and we believe the cause ol a free people will triumph. Fact is, the ticket nominated by the "advisory board' s? - is clearly an independent ticket, and the candidates thereon should be ruled out ol the Democratic primary. Last season Bamberg was one of t.h< best cotton markets in the low country and it proposes to keep up its reputatior the coming season. Our farmers car rest assured of selling their cotton hen to the best advantage, while our mer I chants will sell them goods as cheap a: any place in the State. The oil mill will -jl ' be in operation before long, and they cai save a trip by hauling their cotton hen I and carrying their fertilizer back. Then will be a good corps of buyers on thi; ? * market, and the very best prices will fc< . paid. Just keep your eye on Bamberg she doesn't propose to be left behind ii the progressive contest. The Florence Times is urging it readers to subscribe to the capital stocl of the Charleston Exposition, and is"sur prised that the enterprising business mei ' of this [Florence] section have shown s< 85?? little practical interest in the announce ment of the opening of books of subscrip _ tion." We are really amazed at this The Times has been preaching Expositioi V for some time, and some Florence man down in Charleston about two month I ago, gave an interview to the News an< g Courier, in which he said Florence wa going to support the Exposition heartilj saying that Florence was not like Bam berg. It is possible he didn't know wha t' he was talking about or didn't meai what he said, for, according to The Times the Florence people are not putting u the money for Charleston's show. Tal is cheap, and it seems that some of th support the Exposition was to get wa all talk. Happeniugs in the Conntry. As our neighborhood can now boast c >more enterprises, I'll write them up. Mr. J. A. Spann has opened up a nei saw mill in our vicinity. Hughes Bros still run also. t Mr. J. W. Hill is putting up a gin. Miss Chessie Smoak, of Lees, is visitin in this section. Mr. and Mrs. S. Harrison visited th former's mother last week, in Colletoi ' . who is quite sick. Miss Belle Sandifer has been visitin friends at Colston the past week, and iu f cidentally took in the protracted meetin at that piaec. Miss Ruth Harrison is teaching musi at Walterboro. Mr. H. H. Hill, who has been visitin I relatives and friends, returned to hi home in Sanford, Fla., last Sunday. Miss G. E. Jordan has been "visitin Misses Nell and Eva Hanberry the pas \ week. The protracted meetings in the neigh boring churches seem to have been rea " pleasant this season. A goodly numbe of members were added and a lot of in terest seems to have been manifested which we hope will prove permanent. \ "With best regards for The Herald, Newberry Campaign Meeting. Newberry, August 3.?The State cam paign meeting here to-day was attende by about TOO people, one-third of the coun ty's voting strength. Everything passed ol quietly and orderly. The speeches wer generally the same'as the candidates mad elsewhere in the campaign. The Brookei Derham incident was somewhat of ; feature. The people gave everybody respectfu attention. Part of the crowd remainei until the close of the meeting, whicl lasted seven hours. All the candidates for superintenden of education, adjutant general, railroai v- commissioner, and lieutenant governo were present, and presented their claim: J. H. Moore, for attorney general, lei off? Mr. Bellinger was absent. N. W. Brooker charged Comptrolle Derhaui, among the alleged dereliction in his office, with instigutinga nioveuien which resulted in curtailing his t Brook er's) work as special agent of thesinkin fund. Gen. Derhani in his reply rescnte Mr. Brookey's attack, anil appealing t the record, asked Hon. George S. Mowei who was in the crowd, i?? come up to th stand and make a statement as a uiembe of the sinking fund commission as to th facts in the case. Mr. Mower'sstatemen > - was satisfactory to Mr. Derhani and th crowd. The most interest centered in the gov ernor's race. Walt Whitman made on of his characteristic speeches and th crowd laughed at his thrusts at the othe candidates. He said his money had nov given out, and that unless he employe* personal locomotion in getting to o?he meetings, this one would be his last. F B.

A Neglected Industry. Editor Thk Bamukro Hkk.vi.i>:?I wish to call tlio attention of your town readers to an industry that is not receiving the attention it deserves. It is the raising of cattle for hecf and milking purposes. It is true that Mr. G. Frank Bamberg and others fatten and ship from here several carloads of cattle every winter and spring, but they fatten at too great an expense. They should emulate the example of some of the other citizens of our town and tie these cattle on the streets and let them fatten on the luxuriant grass that abounds everywhere. Tie them to the trees on the sidewalks w here they will have shade. (The writer saw this very thipg done the other day. A .' ilutwli.l Iiti.'i lm t L. in n il t?for t he co w. I Quite true, there is some danger of women and children being gored by the cattle, and sometimes might have to give the whole sidewalk to the bovine creatures, but what matters that? Aren't the people * compelled to have milk and beef? Our sidewalks are hard and smooth (some of them are), and it is no bad idea to drive the cows to pasture on these, where parties have nearby pastures. Of ourse cattle passing along or standing on these walks make them dangerous to travel on dark nights, but what of that? Cows are a necessary adjunct to civilization, and for these slight inconveniencts to pedestrians the owners should, by no manner of means, be prevented from . pasturing on the streets. Sometimes a cow very thoughtlessly drags her roj e : across a street and obstructs the passage ,? of vehicles, but what matters all these i things? There may be some town ordij nance against cows monopolizing the f whole of the street, but isn't everybody ? kin to everybody else in Bamberg and ' aren't we all afraid that we will huit ? each other's feelings? That would never, f nuvpr rln The railroad is also a most excellent place for grazing. The special advaui tage here is that if a cow ventures too far and is run over by the train, you claim her full Jersey and get twice iier value. 1 See 1 There is no question about it, that i Bamberg is one of the best points in the ? State for the cattle business. - W. S. 8100 Reward, $100.

Editor The Bambf.ro Herai.l>:?1 s write you to say that I attended some 1 xsih-s todav in the town of Mul s lins and saw the weed selling at from 4 r to 2<H cents per pound, and this was the poorest grade. This town having now a " population of about $00 was but a little f station with a population of not over 200. a There is the sign of life and push on . every point. Farmers are bringing their ' tonacco to town and the merctiants are P busy selling goods. Everything indicates k success and prosperity. Many farmers, e who a few years ago, were in debt with s mortgages over their farms, are now out of debt and have money to pay cash for what they need. One young man on a two-horse farm made over $000 clear of all expenses. Others, perhaps, did as well. Why cannot our Bamberg farmers be indueed to give some attention so this industry? From what the farmers tell K me, it is a mistake to plant side land in > tobacco. Poor land well manured makes a much better grade of tobacco, aud the side strong land can be plauted in corn ? or cotton. Crops are generally better here than e around Bamberg, owing to the fact that b rains have been just as the farmers needed. I saw a small farm just out of ? the town of Mullins which will not make l* less than a bale to the acre. I am told 0 that numbers of farms are about as good. Prohibition is very strong in this counc ty, and the county will likely give Hoyt a good majority. 1 am told that Senator ? Tilhnan's attack upon the preachers will s throw a good number of votes to Hoyt that would otherwise have gone to the ? dispensary. Very truly vours, 1 ' T. C. O'Deli.. Mullins, S.

[Special Correspondence of The Bamkeuo Hekai.o.J I'i.km son Coi.i.kok, A us;. <?.? Every South Carolinian who has a boy-child should constitute this institution his Mecca, and pay to it at least one pilgrimage, before he settles definitely upon what should be the linal scholastic trainin*; of his son. Clcnison has thousands <d fiiends, and its alumni, yearly increasing in number, spreads the "glad tidings i>f great joy" that here at least is an institution with a character and curriculum of stu?ly w hich w ill match the highest in the land, w hich is particularly | the farmers' college. Last session 4l?l students matriculated, and of this number: SHI per cent, were non-tuition paying. Is not this then the poor man's school, and should not the State?the body politic? contribute liberally to its support V Section 11*20. Kevised Statutes of South Caro lina. Vol. I, in setting forth the pow ers an?l duties of the hoard of trustees of the college, declares: "They shall charge each student a tuition fee of fifty dollars per annum; * * * indigent students shall not he required to pay said tuition fee," In accordance with this law IK) per cent, of the students who matriculated last year presented a petition through their guardians or parents,the same being certified to as true by the various county auditors, that they were unable to pay the tuition fee, and the doors of Clemson, with all its manifold advantages, were thrown open to them. Having secured free tuition, there was the moderate charge of $100.42 for incidental fees, board and washing, uniform, and medical attention, from September 12 until June 12. The uniform is furnished at cost price, and there is connected with the institution a "student's exchange," where books, stationery, furnishing goods, and in fact any necessary article can be bought on the same terms. If a boy takes the agricultural or textile course his textbooks, if new, will cost him about $40 for the full four years' course, but in the before-mentioned exchange he eau probably get the necessary books at second band for about one-half this sum. If he elects to take the mechanical course, the necessary books will cost at least a third more ; but then see what he gets for his investment. At a total cost ~of 2tf cents per day he fits himself for a career in life, the successful bounds of which are measured only by his own ability and ambition. If, unfortunately, he be so extremely poor that even this insignificant sum is hard to raise, the college gives him :in opportunity to work his way through. There is always work in plenty about a farm, and, on the 800 broad acres t hat once comprised the imperial demesne of "Fort Hill," there is more than a plenty. After a student finishes his studies he is given the privilege of performing some of this labor, for which the college pays him at the rate of Scents per hour" If, at the end of the college year, he is still anxious to work, a place will be found for him during the, long mid-summer vacation, and with this help he will be absolutely self-supporting. He will have received an education and a manual training equal in life's struggle to a capital of several thousand dollars. He will, because of self-denial, have learned the "value of a dollar," and if he don't make his mark in the world and achieve a full measure of material success, then you can have my head for a foot ball. There are not many students whom poverty's cruel grind forces to thus struggle in the educational current, but there is a cardinal principal underlying teaching at Clemson, always made prominent, and that it that all labor is houorable, so no mattei in what honest way a boy earns the money to educate himself, no matter how menial his employment, Clemson puts upon his heroic struggles the stamp ol its approval. As an illustration of this point, one of the boys who graduated from the college last June had principal!} paid for his four years' keep, while re ceiving free tuition, by half-soleing the shoes of his fellow students and perform ing for them the other duties of a cobbler. Is there any other college in the country where this could be done without bringing down upon the cobbler-scholai a college ostracism that is more bitter and harder to bear than the fiendish stake and fire torture of the American Indian? 1 wot not. But here in this democratic in stitution of learning not only was tht plucky hero not ostracised, but, on the contrary, exalted and beloved by teacher: and students, and the grained arches ol the' splendid memorial hall rang with a mighty burst of applause when he blush ingly received his hard-earned diploma of graduation. Is it any wonder, then > r?<-vTT ciir-h as thi? hark tr I LI ill W 11CU a. uv? ouvu ? his home, flushed with success, and worthily proud of his flrst victory in life's battle, that he makes friends for his beloved alma mater V It is advertising ol this character which has made plain tht advantages of Clemson in every count} in the State, and so increased the demand for its educational advantages that this year upwards of 400 applicants for enroll inent will from sheer necessity?lack o1 accommodation?be doomed to disap pointment. Said Acting President Boehm: "If our capacity was doubled we could not accommodate the students who apply to us for admission." 'And whv has this college become so fa mous ? The solution of the problem is an easy one. Other institutions of learning may give a boy just as good a classical education as Clemson, but when he completes his collegiate course he is only a "book scholar," after all. So far as tht practical education necessary in life's battle is concerned, he is a mere kindeFgartner. He has got to serve anothei lon^ apprenticeship before he can Anally graduate from the great college of life's endeavor. At Clemson not only do they train the boy's mind and morals and physical being, but they educate those marvelous machines, the hands. He absorbs all that is theoretical, but at the same time he combines a technical and practical education?an education that has a positive money value in the world's market. "A Clemson graduate," said Professoi Boehm, "cannot fail to secure a position of profit and honor. We don't, as many people imagine, turn out farm laborers, blacksmiths, carpenters, weavers and spinners. We send forth into the world educated, refined, and thoroughly disciplined young men, who have not only the practical knowledge to execute, but the theoretical knowledge to create." 1 could make a dozen letters of this length and not exhaust, in explanation and description, the manifold advantages of this great college. As every one i knows, Clemson dates its birth to when a convention of the farmers ol 1 o ... * l. ?i coc.\lnti/tn OOUlll VUKMlIia |M.^U (4 n..^viuviwi. uu tbori/.ing the establishment of our agricultural college. The matter was given definite form by the action of the Hon. Thomas G. Clemson, son-in-law of that superb statesman, John C. Calhoun, who died in 1S8$, leaving as a bequest to the people of the Palmetto State the old Calhoun homestead, Fort Hill, consisting oi 800 acres of land, and about $80,(RH) in I other securities, for the purpose of establishing an agricultural college. The legislature passed an act which became a law in November, 18W, accepting the bequest. The college opened July <?, 181W, with an enrollment during its first session of 44(i students. The object of the college, in conformity u ith the acts of Congress and of the State legislature, is to give practical instruction in agriculture and in the mechanic arts. To accomplish this object in its highest sense, careful instruction is given in the principles and applications"^' the sciences bearingupon agriculture and mechanics, and to give ^the breadth and culture necessary for a rounded education, courses are provided in history, economics and English. It is considered of the utmost importance that students be taught not only theoretical methods, but practical work in these methods. To this end, as much time is devoted to laboratory and shop work, field instruction and other practical exercises. as to lectures and recitations. There are three full courses of study? : agricultural, mechanical, and textile. All I regular students in the Freshman class pursue the same studies. The mechanical and textile courses are also the same in the Sophomore year. Students pursuing the mechanical course choose between electrical engineering and civil engineering in the Junior and Senior years, t'pon the completion of one of these courses the student is awarded a diploma conferring the degree of Bachelor of Science. Graduates of the mechanical course, or of equivalent courses in other institutions, may complete the textile course in one year. What is the result of a system of education arranged like this? In the agricultural course it turns out graduates who can, not only Jill the soil practically and successfully conduct all the different branches of husbandry, but they can also direct the work of others, and from a thorough and scientific knowledge of plant life and soil composition, food stuffs and most adaptable breeds, labor saving machinery and economy in land culture, make two bolls of cotton to form i ...t....... l?,t f.,fin A.I 'ii.Cni'o mii m-iLi \> IK"I t" UUl KJll\ K'luivvi v, ? ??.. poor latul pay a profit, ami by their services as tillers of the soil can help to elevate the basic industry of all industries, fanning, to the high standard to which it is bv right entitled. if they take a course in the mechanical branch they go forth into the world thoroughly equipped, not as mere scholars, but as the creators of new enterprises, the conductors of old, an army of skilled architects, whose brains will dominate in that vast scheme of industrial advancement which is now in progress all over our country. If the student elects to take the textile course he will graduate prepared to not ouly build and equip a factory, but to successfully conduct it, and no small detail in its movement will be beyond his practical understanding. That's the sort of graduates that go from Clemson, and I say God bless the college, and give it rich endowments, that its usefulness may spread and its power for good multiply until every boy in South Carolina, no matter how humble his station, how meagre his resources, may have it within his power to raise himself in the social scale, advance his material prospects, and help to brin^ about that mighty era of prosperity and happiness, for which we all devoutly pray, when Plenty shall smile upon our fair State, and Wealth be her portion.

He has reduced taxes, amended the dispensary law so ( that we get our proiits, and accomplished , much for good roads and good schools. He has an influence and prestige in the Senate that 110 other man from Bamberg county could hope to have, and we should not pursue the short sighted policy of voting for some one else on personal grounds, but we should elect the man who can and will do us the most good. Senator Maytield holds his own there with the ablest men of the State, and Bamberg has a high place among counties for the reason that he has ably represented us. He has earned the well-done of every taxpayer in the county by his noble work in behalf of his people, and we should show our gratitude and appreciation by sending him buck to the Senate.

Gary and Patterson Indulge in n Fisticuff on the Stand at Laurens. Ij.M'KKXs, Almost A.?The irreat educational campaign evolved into a slu^inir match to-dav. It was somewhat the unexpected which happened. Frank If. Gary and A. Howard Patterson had a roimh and tumMe li?(ht before a thousand Laurens people, men and women. They fouirht with desperation and determination until Jim Tillman and others separated them, and then they wanted to ret hack at each other. Had the accident occurred years ago, in this county, when there were a carload of pistols at a meetin?r, there would have been funerals tomorrow, but now all the feeling seems to be between the candidates. .To-day the result was two hadlY bruised faces and emnhasis on the st vie of eamnaiirnimr iro ingon, and if others showed tlit- same spirit there would be many more listieutTs from day to day. At to-day's meeting Air. Patterson in his speech attacked Mr. Gary about his Charleston speech, reading the clipping and making the statement published. Mr. Gary thought, this persistent effort was to make it appear, indirectly, that he straddled in Charleston, or favored a local option while in Charleston with the license feature, which he insisted was not the case, and Patterson's effort by reading extracts was to place him in a false position as to what he said, and his attitude on the liquor question. When Mr. Gary's turn came to speak he immediately replied that he did not "straddle," and that his position then as now was plain. Mr. Patterson was sitting about five feet behind where Mr. Gary was speaking, and Mr. Patterson got up and said: "Mr. Gary, I want to explain something." Mr. Gary turned squarely around and said: "Now, Mr. Patterson, I want to ask you plainly is what I have said about the Charleston matter true?" Mr. Patterson said he would explain. Mr. Gary replied there was 110 use to explain, but insisted on knowing whether what he had just said about the whole thing was true or not. Mr. Patterson went on to say the candi- < dates would not agree with Mr. Gary, or } something on that line, and said he dared him to prove his statements by any of the 1 candidates. Mr. Gary insisted on a direct reply as to whether bis statement about the Charleston speech was true or ( not. By this time the two men were in , arm's length, looking fiercely at each other and, no doubt, looking for a blow. Mr. Patterson said that if he was not allowed to explain he must deny what Mr. Gary had said was correct. Mr. Gary then said: "If you say ray state menl is noi eorreci you say wnai is noi true." The two men joined. Patterson struck out and claims to have liit iirst. There was not a second's difference in the passage of blows. Patterson struck Gary an uplianded blow under the left eye, which cut the skin for half an inch long. Gary struck Patterson on tkfe mouth and cut the lip and struck him under the eye. It was not a minute before half a dozen men were around the two combatants; they were up against each other, clinched, and several Mows were passed, but they were pulled apart. Gary was taken toward the front of the stand and Patterson toward the rear. They said nothing, but were eager and watching. Crowds pressed up to the stand, some yelling for one candidate and some for another. By the aid of two policemen,Sheriff McCravy, Senator Tillman and Chairman Smith, those who belonged on the stand were instructed to get back and sit down, and those who did not belong on the stand to get off. At this time the candidates hand mopped their faces and wiped the blood from their bruises. When quiet was restored Mr. Gary faced the audience. Somewhat disheveled and bruised, and quivering all over and with clinched hands, he spoke out, and said when he left home he decided he would be a gentleman and give 110 possible offence to any one, and in turn he would not take any insult from any one. He had treated Mr. Patterson as a gentleman and a friend, but he had gone too far, and he would allow 110 man to insult him without hitting him in the mouth. Mr. Gary apologized with feeling and almost tears lor having fought before ladies, and expressed his deep regrets at the incident. Then he went 011 and concluded his speech, cutting it here and there. Mr. Patterson was allowed to make a statement and said he was very sorry for the occurrence. He and Mr. Gary had been warm friends and he had been a staunch friend of the family, but whenever a man told him lie lied he tried to put his list in his mouth and give him the best he had in his shop. When tne two comoatanis naa tasen seats a policeman, who looks like the picture of Mr. Dinkelspiel, good naturedly held out his hand and said the disturbance would cost each of the combatants $5, or they would have to go before the Mayors Court. Mr. Gary paid his $5 and Mr. Patterson followed suit. The officer, when asked about the matter, said it always cost the amount for a light in town, but the combatants could go to the Court if they wanted and they might get back their money, but they had only one rule. Mr. Patterson and Mr. Gary left the stand soon after the speech of Mr. Gary. It so happened that they were guests at the same house, but one of them has changed his stopping place. Through the efforts of Clerk of Court Ball, Mr. Patterson and Mr. Gary met, shook hands and agreed to be friends and comrades as when they entered Laurens. Of course, neither of the contestants were hurt to any extent. After the scrap it was up hill work for all the candidates until Tillman was presented, and he was received with enthusiasm. He whooped things up and had the boys hurrahing. He took a hand primary, and called me up to the front to note the vote. Not a dozen voted for prohibition, but when he came to vote ior the dispensary pretty much every one voted, and there was one of those oldtime dispensary fields of upraised hands. Tillman was happy and so did every one else seem to be, and he remarked that there was nothing much in the talk of six hundred tigers in Charleston and two hundred in Columbia, and he put no faith in this talk, and commented on the evidences of their being no tigers about Laurens, and that there were not near as' many tigers as some tried to make out. The crowd was quiet, large, and in the best humor.?A. K. in News and Courier. Story of a Slave. To be bound hand and foot foryears by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery. George 1).
