This cut was made some years ago and the engineers are very much L pleased at the raise.

It is hardly probable that our boys will play another game with them. * Mr. J. A. Byrd left Monday for New * York, Baltimore and Philadelphia to purchase his fall stock of goods. Mr. Byrd is one of our most up-to-date and j enterprising merchants, and well deserves the support and patronage of our people, j We have before had occasion to continent j favorably on the nice line of goods j carried in his store, and he says he will buy this season a larger and nicer stock than ever. We want our merchants to ^ carry better stocks, so that people will ^ not be forced to forced to send off for W goods, thereby keeping the money at home. Mr. Byrd is moving along this line, and we commend his enterprise to pur readers. Col. Jno. F.

Row Last SaturdayLast Saturday afternoon a fight occurred just behind Moye ?fc Dickinson's tore, between Jesse Black and his son nd Preston Williams. All the parties cere white. It appears that Williams ras imposing on Black's boy, who came >ut to take his part. Black and Williams ;ot into a fisticuff, and while they were iglitiug Black's sou hit Williams over the ight eye with a brick, making the blood low. The elder Black drew a pistol and old Williams to keep off, but he was disrmed and the light stopped. We underlain! j>t one time it looked as if a free ght all round would take place, as somehiug of a crowd was gathered around, ill the parties were arrested and carried efore the mayor, who released them, as re understand he said he had no jurisiction, advising that the case go to the magistrate's court. Williams then swore ut a warrant for Black, and the trial was et for Monday morning, but Williams ?ft town Monday, and consequently'did ot 'appear to prosecute the case. It eems he started the fuss, and was afraid f he let the case go to trial he would be ned as welj, so he skipped out. Death. Little Viola, the 0-months-old daughter f Mr. and Mrs. F. B.

Young Wesley Kirk I and Dead. Mr. Wesley Kirkland, youngest son of )r. and Mrs* N. F. Kirkland, Sr., died ast Friday morning in the city of Greenwood at the home of his sister, Mrs. H. 1. Graham. He had been in bad health or some time past, and had gone to Greenwood some weeks ago, hoping he would rnprove. The body was brought to Bam>erg on the eight o'clock train Friday vening, the remains being accompanied ?y his father, mother and brother. Rev. C. Kirkland. The remains were earied on home the same night, and the turial took place at Mizpah church, of which lie was a member, on Saturday, the ervices being conducted by Rev. J no. G. leckwith. Deceased was about twenty years old, md was the youngest child of his aged mrents, and 011 him the teuderest care tnd attention had been lavished, fie was i good boy?an upright, honest Christian, vith a manner and ways as gentle and ender as a woman. His health had been >ad for years. He attended the Fitting >chool several years ago, but his health jave way. Afterwards he went to Woford College Fitting School at Spartanburg, and was forced to come home on tccount of his health. Last year lie enered Wofford College, but again his lealth failed, and he came home. Dr. and Mrs. Kirkland had been in Sreenwood at his bedside for about two weeks, as he was getting worse, and were with him in his last moments. Death is sad enough at any time, but in his case, 00 unturinir >i>m 11 llOitd. with ill of life's duties and responsibilities before him, it is doubly sad to die. He was to have !>een the comfort of his parents in their declining years?theirbabv-boy? how hard to give him up ! Never have we come in contact with a death more peculiarly sad, and his father and mother, as well as the large circle of relatives, have the heartfelt sympathy of us all. And it must be a consolation to the bereaved parents, in their great sorrow, to know that he was prepared for the change, ami faced death calmly, passing away "like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams."

Fellow Democrats of Bamberg CountyDear Friends: I regret very much in- 1 deed for the past month that I have not 1 been able to visit you ali, for I will assure ' vou that it has been my desire to do so; 1 but on account of sickness in my family have beeu prevented from doing so; but : hope you will remember me all the same on the 28th day of August. With best ' wishes, I remain, ? Yours very truly, J , Jeff. &. Smith. ! Denmark Doings. i Denmark, August 7.?A few weeks ago a lively contest was made by several 1 bright girls of Bamberg couuty before the 1 county board of education for the vacant scholarship offered by the State to Win- 1 throp College. Up to date, no announce- ' ment has been made; the contestants are awaiting the result with considerable 1 fear and impatience. In the meantime, * the State has offered another scholarship to the South Carolina Military Academy. The board of visitors has sent out several * permits to applicants with the request ] that they appear before thecountv board, 1 Thursday, August 1(5. The Wiuthrop scholarship is worth $44.00, cash and < free tuition. The Citadel scholarship is | worth $3(10.00 and pays all college expen- < ses for one year. Each scholarship is t good for four years, unless the students at ( any time during their respective courses become unworthy of State aid. These institutions are the l>est in the State, and should appeal to the ambition of the best boys and girls in this county to make effort for the places. k Kev. T. J. Sandifer, pastor of the Ghent's Branch Baptist church, is now in the * midst of a great revival, which is aruos- ( ing considerable excitement and interest s among the people of that community. 1 Among the great number of new members, r many persons of mature age have thrown down the great burden of sin and made J public confession of their faith in the c great and merciful God. Seventeen can- . didates for membership were baptized 1 last week. Some years ago a spring of pure, cool 1 water was known to exist near Milhous's Mill, but was neglected to such a degree that it was finally lost sight of. The spring has been recently located again and put in excellent condition. It is I said that the water is something similar t nf R/tilmir Snriiins which is oro- S l" ? ~l o ? nounced by thousands of persons who ? have used it to be most excellent drink- * ing water, and possessing great medici- t nal qualities. ] The farmers of this section are looking t forward to the rapidly approaching har ! vesting season and are making plans accordingly, but seem anxious to hear the county campaigners before turning to their most active season and tieldsof work. Candidates have been paying some long promised visits to friends in this section, and for the tirst time the term "second primary" is used in course ofconversation. The final exit will be a sad moment to the most of them. The Senatorial race is being discussed by friends of the two rival candidates, and the general opinion ( is that the contest will be very close. ] Capt. J. B. Guess has just completed an i attractive enclosure around his beautiful ( home on Graham's Hill. Mr. A. \V. Wroton has had a fresh coat ( of paint put on his dwelling, which makes ; the place look very attractive. Miss .Julia Gregg, of Florence, S. C., has ] been elected by the board of trustees to till the vacant position in the Denmark School. Miss Gregg comes highly recommended, besides the great number of personal letters received bearing on her home and public life, make the trustees , doubly sure of the excellent qualities of this young lady. The school will open ( sometime during the month of September. In a few more years the trustees ( will be able to place the school in splendid working order. The greatest necessities have been met. In the future the matter of equipment will engage their attention and funds, frogress nus oeeu made each year. The comparison of conditions live years ago with the present outlook ought to be a source of pride to the patrons of this community. Teachers have appreciated their opportunities to such an extent as to manifest unusual in terest in their respective departments, and , trustees have given that good backing, which is so essential to the success of the school. The teachers and pupils are very anxious to have a piano for the school. Wouldn't it be a surprise to all, if some of our good citizens would show personal interest by placing that instrument of untold pleasure in the school chapel before school opens*' A good school building, a growing library, and a tine reading table are the improvements of the past. Let us concentrate our efforts for the next great need of our school?a piano. Yours for progress, Dek Uxtekzeichxer. The national law passed several years ago requiring all railroad cars to be equipped with patent draw heads and air brakes, became effective Wednesday of last week, and all freight trains are now supplied with air brakes, thus doing away with the old dangerous way of coupling cars by hand.
