The summer school for teachers, which had been in session here for the past month, closed last Friday, and the usual examinations were held that day. * The editor has been absent most of the ' past week, and our printer has been sick. ' This will account for the paper being late j this week. We regret it, but it was unavoidable. 1 In order to make room for fall stock 1 now being bought in New York, 1). Dow- i ling's entire line of watches and jewelry will be sold at great reductions for the next thirty days. And the new subscribers came in this ( week at a great rate. We met many of our friends at the campaign meetings, and ; they had the kindest of words for the paper, which is appreciated very much. ] The chain gang is still at work on the ] Bamberg and Denmark road, and are going to put it in hue shape before they quit. The new route will shorten the 1 distance and give us a first-class highway < as well. The boilers and some ot the machinery for the oil mill has arrived, and it is . hoped to have the main building ready for placing the machinery in the next 1 two weeks. Work is being pushed on the buildings. A correspondent of the Barnwell Sentinel calls on the legislative candidates in that county to declare their position on the liquor question. All the candidates for legislative honors in Bamberg county : *A favor the dispensary. Two negroes got into a row at Spann's cross tie camp a few below town last Saturday, aud oue stabbed the other, indicting two serious wounds. The wounded negro is doing very well, however, and his assailant is in jail. This is the season when our people will need pulleys, shafting, belting, and ginning machinery of all kinds. The Lombard Iron Works in Augusta can supply your wants in this line, and at the most satisfactory prices. Give them a trial order. We are glad to see that our people patronize the old reliable house of Geo. S. Hacker & Son, of Charleston, when they need sash, doors, blinds, etc. This Jinn is thoroughly up-to-date, and one can always count on getting the very best material and workmanship when ordering from them. Always write them for quotations when building, and you will save money. Prof. J. A. Klein left last Saturday for Greemvood. He expects to organize music classes at Abbeville and Greenwood, and will be organist of the Meth- j ouist church at Abbeville. Prof. Klein j has lived here for many years, and his! host of warm friends regret his departure.' We commend him and his estimable wife to the people of his new home. He is a i competent teacher and thorough gentle-! man. The competitive examination for a free , scholarship at the Citadel Academy was ; to have been held here to-day. and several bright boys were on hand t<? compete f.?r the prize. No questions for the applicants had been received, however, and the county board was force* 1 to postpone the examination. It will be held as soon as the Board of Visitors appoint another date and send the questions. Due notice of the date will be given through this pa-j per, if possible. I The dirtiest methods arc being used in politics this year we have ever known, anion*;' some State candidates especially. .lames II. Moore, of Charleston, has withdrawn as a candidate for attorney ireneral. thus leaving Mr. Belli litre r a clear field. We must ask the indulgence of our readers for this week's issue. It is not what we wanted to make it, 1 ml sickness prevented a better paper. A news letter from Rev. T. C. O'iVU. who is now at Nichols. Marion county, reached us just as we were trointr to press, too late for publication in this issue. It had been delayed in the mails. India Famine Relief Fund.

Burglary in Open Daylight. The family of A. Melver Bostiek is tway at present, and Mr. Bostiek takes lis meals down town, only sleeping at ?is house at night. Consequently the j louse is closed and no one about the >remises duriugthe day time. Last Monlay sometime during the day the resilence was broken into and nibbed of some silverware, groceries, clothing, and ither articles. Marshal Gray went quietly o work on the case, and in a short time iad arrested a negro named Ilolman.who irotested his innocence, and claimed that! wo other negroes, Jake Parker and Rob?rt Monroe, were the guilt v part ies. They vere at once arrested, and the house ivhere they lived searched, with the remit that some of the articles have been recovered. Holman was released on probation, as it were, and is endeavoring to bring up all the missing articles, while Parker and Monroe are still in jail. The Town in a Lawsuit. Last Wednesday Mr. H.O. Folk erected j t fence alongside his store on Railroad ivenue, taking in about twenty feet of he street, which he claims as his property. Tlit* town authorities claim it has been forfeited to the town, and had the! uarshnl tear down the fence and arrest | Mr. H. B. Cave, of Great Cypress township, lost all his lot buildings, containing large quantities of corn, oats, forage, etc., on the night of the 5Sth lilt. Loss five or six hundred dollars; no insurance. The tire was accidental, starting within his locked barn. Fortunately he had time to turn out all his stock. At the regular communication of Harmony lodge, No. IT, A. F.

A Mother Tells Hon She Saved Her Little Daughter's Life. I am the mother of eight children, and have had a great deal ol experience with medicines. La>t summer my little daughter had the dysentery in its worst form. We thought she would die. I tried evervthing 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 Diarrheal Keniedv was highly recommended, and sent and got a hot tie at once, it proved to he one of the verv best medicines we ever had in the house. It saved my little daughter s lite. I am anxious lor every mother to know what an excellent medicine it is. llad 1 known it at tirst, it would have saved me a great deal of anxiety and my little daughter much suffering.?Yours trulv, Mks Geo.

Young Lady Commits Suicide?Campaign Meeting and Politics, Dknmakk, August It.?Miss Annie Hope committed suicide Sunday night by drinking a quantity of carbolic acid. ; .Miss Hope attended service at chureh Sunday evening, and was unusually cheerful. Even after returning to her I home she showed no signs of remorse or J gloom, which would indicate that she was J at the point of committing a most hor l ibit' WeeO. \\ m il slit* mircti ui'r atiuuis t?? all indicated that >he was happy aiul that thf wt.rltl was in sweet harmony with her inner life. I'pon going to her room the door was set urely fastened, whieh goes to show that she had preI meditated plans. Not Ions; after she rej tired her brother. Mr. (ieorge Hope, heard ! his sister struggling for life, and reached I her hetlsitle, after lirst breaking the door open, and found her suffering intensely, struggling for free breathing, which she seemed to have enjoyed so sweetly just a short time before. Drs. W'yman and Matthews were hastily brought to the unfortunate victim, but nothing could be thine to give her even partial relief. After suffering and struggling for an hour and a half she passed away. Monday morn-, in it the shocking tragedy was the talk of the community. Those who viewed the j awful scene pronounce it to have been | the most horrible they have ever witnessed. Many reports are current as to the motive which prompted the young lady tti take her life, but as yet the matter has not reached its true status. Some say thai a letter was left by the deceased, explaining the whole affair, but her near relatives deny the assertion, ller youngest sister left for Darlington the next morning, without attending the funeral, and her other two sisters remained at home, while Mr. Hope, lieronly brother,acconi panied the body to its resting place near Blackville. The family has been divided by means of domestic troubles for some time. Taking all the facts of the ease into deep consideration, the community faces one of the saddest realities of its history. The campaign meeting will be held at "the Denmark Mineral Springs," nqpr Miliums's mill, about three miles from town. The public is cordially invited to attend, and to bring with them well-tilled baskets. The "Mineral Springs" is something new for Denmark. It can not be justly called a West End spring or an East End resort, but it seems to be the hub of Bamberg county, if the popularity of the place is to be judged by the great number of visitors that frequent this place every day in the week. The water is exceptionally good, ami the politicians say that whoever drinks from this perennial fountain will at once know how to vote intelligently. Mr. Editor, Bamberg county is undergoing at present her first revolution, the result of which will possibly astonish the people when the last oath of office is taken after the primary. Strange rumors and facts are current, which are about to come to a climax. There is a machine grinding out discord. The great bubbles are about to burst, and the stinking gas that must necessarily pervade the political atmosphere will cause the good people of the whole county to rise up in their might and strike down all perpetrators. It is no use to squirm and twist, the issue is at hand, and the ringsters and pYomoters of dishonest methods are bound to reap a speedy retribution. Possibly they may swallow the whole mess, and run the risk of internal sufferings. Senator May field is gaining ground over his opponent. The people of this section have the kindest feeling and regard for Dr. Black, who has a good repu Mr. Folk for trespass. lie then swore! >ut a warrant before Magistrate Kay: igainst the marshal for trespass. Mr. Polk declined to give bond, and it was t lecided not to require him to do so or be i locked up. The ease against him has | aeeii postponed until after the primary, unl accordingly Mr. Folk's case against he town will not come up until that time. The whole matter is to be fought out in a legal way in order to establish the ownership of the land. New Cotton. The lirst bale of new cotton was Drought to town last Friday by Mr. J. B. Padgett. Mr. I). (). Hunter brought one Monday, and several bales have also come in this week. The highest price paid was nine cents. Picking is going on rapidly now, and lots of the staple will be on this market in a few days. Protracted Meetings. I have not long since returned from ?reston, where I was so fortunate as to it tend a protracted meeting held by Rev. W. I). McMillan, assisted by Rev. II. C. Brabham, of Ulmer, and Rev. Peacock, of Barnwell. The meeting was largely at;ended by the members and their many friends, who seemed to take a great interest in making it a glorious meeting. Much credit is due Revs. Brabluun and Peacock, and all those who were fortunate enough to meet and hear them. 1 hope to meet them again soon. VlSITOlt. Barnwell News. [Barnwell People.] Miss Pearl Drummond, of Bamberg, after a pleasant visit to Barnwell and Dumbarton relatives, returned home on Tuesday. Tuesday's wind storm did considerable ilonwifctn t rpp* mid itiiik North of tOWll it sounded like a half dozen trains were running full speed. tat ion here. No man wishes to blot his spotless character, but the ability of Senator May field is too apparent; his experience and political record give him a strong endorsement. One of the ablest men in Smith Carolina, who is now on the hustings working for his re-election to the Senate, says: "Mr. May field is one of the brightest men in the State, and wields in the Senate chamber of this State an influence greater than any of his peers. Bamberg county cannot afford to down such a useful man. His record has been for the people." Df.r Uxteuzf.iciixei:. llartzog Happenings. IIartzoo, August 13.?Mrs. May Carter and children, of Orangeburg, is in our vicinity visiting friends and relatives. She is accompanied by Miss Florrie Smoak. Miss Minnie Zeigler, of Augusta, is visiting her father. A county campaign meeting was held at Hunter's Chapel last Friday. Most of the candidates were present, and a nice dinner was served. There was quite a crowd of young people present, and we think they enjoyed themselves. Farmers have begun to pick cotton. Several of them have gotten out a bale. I neglected to say last week that Messrs. Gordon Hoffman and Frank Move, of Bamberg, spent several days here during protracted meeting. Mr. Cenj. Black, of Weinier, spent Saturday and Sunday with his mother, Mrs. Mary Black. E. S. A Card. We guarantee every bottle of Chamber Iain's colic, cholera and diarrhoea remedy and will refund the money to any one who is not satisfied after using it. It is the most successful medicine in the world for bowel complaint!*, both for children and adults. Marriage at Kparse. Kkarsf., August lo.?We witnessed a very happy marriage this afternoon at the residence of Mr. J. IX Platts, at 3o'clock, when Mr. J. li. Harter, of Jennys, and Miss Laura, eldest daughter of Mr. J. D. Platts, were joined together in the holy bonds of wedlock. There was a large crowd present to witness the marriage of this young couple. The ceremony was performed by Kev. E. W. Pecples, of Varnville. The following were the attendants: Miss Lillie Ayer with Mr. Perry | Morris; Miss Pauline Ilarter with Mr. I Willie Platts; Miss Lizzie Morris with | Mr. Sinunv Ayer. and Miss Hattie Platts i with Mr. Lawrence Ilarter. The bride I received many useful presents,after which i congratulations were given for a longand I happy life. Mrs. Mary Minehey, who is visiting relj ativcs here, will return to her home in Georgia Saturday. Miss Rhoda Livingston, who has been visiting relatives in this section for several weeks, will return to her home at Cope to-morrow. Visitor. CAMPAIGN MKKTIXtiS. County Candidates Address the Dear People at Hunter's Chapel and Khrhardt. Last Friday was the day appointed for a count) campaign meeting at Hunter's Chapel, and, in company with Hon. C. W. (tan is, we wended our way thither on the morning of that day. We arrived at the grounds about 11 o'clock, and found about o.vO people present, many of them the l':tir hulirs oft hat section. The speak- : imr took place in the trrove near the : church, where a stand for the speakers ' had been erected. Hon. II. ('. Folk pre- j1 ' ] sided over the meeting, and the speaking | ' had commenced when we arrived, Geo. M II. Hearse, for supervisor, addressing the j ' audience when we drove up. Itc was fol- j' lowed by \V. II. Collins, \Y. T. Cave, and j1 E. C. Bruce, all for the same otlice. Mr. 1 Hughes was not present. ^ L. A. Bikle, .Toe J. Brabham, \V. K. * Sease. W. W. Lisihtsey, K. W. D. Howell, j T and I. ('?. Jcnnimrs. forcountv auditor M ' 1 and superintendent of education, pre-1 1 sentcd their claims for this otlice. j v J. A. Chassereau. Jos. Dickinson, and jv Jeff. B. Smith next told why they should )1 be elected treasurer. 1 J. II. Lancaster and C. F. Hentz wanted 1 the office of sheriff. Capt. J. B. Hunter v was at home, and would not tire the crowd. v G. F. Bamberg and C. B. Free made a v few remarks in reference to their candi- ^ dacy for clerk of court. T J. H. McCormaek, Jno. F. Folk. A. McTver Bostick, and Jno. \V. Crum. all can- t didates for the house of representatives.! c stated their platform and asked the suf-11 frames of the people. Their position on s the issues of the day have already been r [ stated in these columns', and they made 1 practically the same speeches as at Olar. s They all favor the dispensary. <rood roads, I! and better common schools. i Dr.H. Black, lor tne e?enaie, was ine next speaker; was sick, and would he * brief. Was in favor of dispensary, better v schools and roads. Discussed the tax a levy, which was as high one year May field v was there as one year he was there, and v said goods were higher on an average e when he voted for increase of pay to i' sheriff. Then the jailer was paid no tJ salary; now lie is paid a salary. Salary ^ of railroad commissioners should be paid by the people, as it might happen some day that a man would be elected who would feel under obligations to the railroads 011 account of their paying his h salary. The commission now was com- c posed of honorable men. Was proud of I the fact that we had one from this county. Maj. Hays sustained him in his statement ^ in regard to dispensary matter. Would ^ not make long speeches and introduce v bills in the Senate, but would do his very o best for his people. In 1S0T Mayfield introduced local option bill in the Senate, c but now favored dispensary. Regretted c to allude to it, but had not taken sides in Johnson-Bellinger matter. His pastor u was one of the parties; his relatives the e other. Senator Mayfield said he had introduced 1 a local option bill In-cause of rottenness e in dispensary, and he was trying to purify it. Had always worked for tlie dispell-1 sarv, and In some sections was called the father of the law. His amendments to dispensary were now in operation, and the people got their own profits, thus reducing taxes. Maj. Hays and Mr. Brabham were honorable gentlemen, and he would submit to their understanding of dispensary matter. Read Chicago market quotations showing provisions were higher now than when Dr. Black voted to increase pay of sheriffs. Dr. Black voted against constitutional amendment providing for separate white ami colored schools. His opponent had voted against the establishment of Clemson College, 1 and had also voted to reduce privilege tax on fertilizers to live cents per ton. which would have crippled the college. During his speech there Mas a sharp colloquy between the speaker and Mr. Thos. Black in reference to a lawsuit in which ' Maytield was engaged as attorney. Sen- t ator Maytield was asked some questions o by Mr. Gus Hutto. and they, too, had some 1 warm words. * A great many questions were asked the . candidates for the various otlices by < Messrs. B. F. Folk and Gus Hutto and v \S others, and linallv Chairman Folk re- > quested that only pertinent questious be \ asked, as time was being consumed bv > .\ useless questions. y After the speeches came dinner, and ^ the good people of that section had pre- > pared one of the famous picnic dinners .t for which they are so well known. Every ^ one was well taken care of, and the after- > noon was spent in pleasant social inter- \ course. ^ THE EHRIIARDT MEETING. ^ > Friday afternoon wc went from IIuii- ^ ter's Chapel to the hospitable home of s Mr. John C. Smith, where we spent the ^ night, in company with several others. * We were most kindly treated by Mr. Smith and family, so much so that al- ; though something of a stranger, we felt ^ entirely at home. At Ehrhardt we found 2 about 500 or 000 people, and here, too. there were many ladies present. The speaking took place in the grove near Mr. C. Ehrhardt's, where a stand for the speakers and tables for the dinner had been erected. Hon. II. C. Folk, county chairman, presided, and the meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. J. II. Wilson. Chairman Folk spoke of the conduct at the Hunter s Chapel meeting, and hoped there would be no repetition of it. Asked that all questions be written out and handed to the chairman, so that the speakers might not be interrupted. The first speakers were the candidates j for coroner: J. H. Zeigler, G. B. Aver, A. W. Besinger, and J. G. Rentz. Mr. Gillam was not present. B. W. Milev, for probate judge, made a short speech. W. II. Collins, W. T. Cave, E. C. Bruce, and Geo. II. Kearse wanted to be supervisor, and asked the votes of the people. Joe J. Brabham, W. W. Lightsey, W. j E. Sease, R. W. D. Howell, I. G. Jennings, and L. A. Bikle discussed the duties of county auditor and superintendent 01 eu- j ucation, and wanted to be elected to this office. J. A. Chassereau, Jeff. B. Smith, and Jos. Dickinson wanted the office of treas-1 urer, and asked to be remembered on i election day. j 1 (.'. F. Kent/, J. 13. Hunter, and J. II. JJ Lancaster told the audience about their candidacy for sheriff. 1>. Free and G. P. Bamberg, candidates for clerk of court, were short and to the point, Jno. F. Folk, A. Mclver Bostick, Jno. W. Cruru, and J. R. McCormack discussed legislative issues and wanted to represent * Handier::'?vainly in the hou.?e of leprc- j sentatives. They covered about the same | ground as usual. Thru .Mr. ('. R. Clayton invito! everybody to dinner, which was aline one, an*' we think everyone did full justice to it. There are no better people anywhere than those of this section, and we have many warm friends among them. consequently it isaiwnys a great pleasure for us to go among them. A ft t*r dinner tin* speaking was resumed. ;ind Senator Maylield was tin* tirst speaker. He paid a hiirli tribute to the late J. I>. Kinanl. both as a christian gentleman and legislator. Spoke of high tax rvv while Dr. IJlaek was in the house roin Barnwell county. Was lower when ie was there. Dr. Black did nothing to stab]ish chain gangs; he worked fori hem. Spoke of why lie introduced local i iption bill. Charged Dr. Black with I oting against separate \v hite and negro chools. and discussed the vote of Dr. Slack against the privilege tax. Dr. Hack had voted to submit validity of old toads to the courts. These votes were vrong. and against the people. Dr. Hlaek oted with Col. Haskell, the railroad atorney, for the railroads against the teople. He had \oted for and worked or the hest interests of his people, and I ranted the well-done of the voters. -1 Dr. d. B. Hlaek still felt unwell. His ote for higher taxes was for purpose of riping out old indebtedness. Senator layfiehl only gave the market quotations or one day in each year, but he believed 11 goods were higher generally in 1SSS han now. Wanted salary of railroad ommissioners paid by the people because hey were elected by the people. They hould not be under obligations to the ailroads. The privilege tax on fertiizers was paid by the farmers, anyway, ~ o it ought to be reduced. He would / tever vote for old Republican bonds, but t f any were lost which were good, he ranted the holders to have the opporunity of proving them, just like you rouId lose a note. Was no negro man, ml was as much opposed to negroes and rhites being together as anybody, but oted against amendment because it covred other things he was opposed to, and : all had to go together. Had made misakes, as all men do, and had seen some, ut they were of the head and not the | cart. Defined his position on dispensary, n ehools, and roads, and promised to do j is very best for the people if elected. Jas. E. Davis, for solicitor, discussed is qualifications for the otlice, and barged his opponent with voting for 'ope in 1^04. lie made a strong speech. C. C. Simms replied vigorously. lie _ ad made mistakes, but this thing had ecu settled by the Peace and Unity Condition, and his opponent was a ghoul, oing into the old ]M>litk al graveyard and igging up buried issues. The qualifiations for the office were ability and haracter. After these speakers finished, the meetig adjourned, and we feel sure every one ? njoyed the gathering as no unpleasant icidents marred the occasion. While lie weather was oppressively warm, we njoyed meeting our friends. | "" IT J ^ I WAf^ \ !'| ^ r''' ' [HE BALANCE WHEEL is evenly adjusted, and cur customers m yet value?remarkable value?for cv- ' ery dime spent here.
