the papers we needed to complete our {

The Southern railway has put the 10 J j
per cent, cut back on their engineers'! ]
wages. This cut was made some years

and on local freights four and one-half
cents per mile.

We were not ut the game, but understand
the Rowesville crowd made
themselves disagreeable bv "kicking" at
all manner of trivial things?in fact they
seemed to be born kickers. 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.

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

;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.

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.
