Although few of the candidates in this county are trained speakers, the speeches we hare listened to at the various campaign meetings, by all the candidates; man Coroner up, have been considerably above the averages In fact we were surprised at the good speeches made by some of the candidates for even the minor positions. -r' Messrs.

Although cotton was quoted in Charleston today (Wednesday) at 8}c. per pound, nine cents is being paid here for the same grade of cotton. Yesterday cotton sold here for 9 cents also, while the Charleston market , was only 8$.

Last week the following cases on appeal from this county to the Supreme court were dismissed: In re disbarment proceedings against G. W. M. Williams, appellant. On motion of John R. Bellinger, A. Mclver Bostick, L. C. Inglis, and James F. Izlar, the clerk dismissed the above stated case. J. W. Barnes, respondent, against the Liverpool and London and Globe Insurance Company, appellant. On motion of Mr. John R. Bellinger the above stated case was dismissed by the clerk. Our readers will remember that Mr. Williams appealed bis. disbarment case to the Supreme court, but evidently has not perfected his appeal. This finally dist poses of the case, and the order of Judge Benet disbarring Mr. AVilliams stands. His friends will be interested to know, however, that he is practicing law over in Georgia, as the disbarment only effects him in the courts of South Carolina. I City Council Meeting. City couucil held a special meeting last Monday for the consideration of several matters, at which Mayor Inglis and Aldermen Hays, Brooker, Brabham, Dick inspn and Rhoad were present. It was decided to appropriate $25 to assist in the entertainment of our country friends from all sections of the county who will attend the campaign meeting here tomorrow. In the matter of the title to a portion of the land constituting Railroad avenue, it was decided that council would maintain their right to the land until Mr. Folk had proved his title in the courts," the town now having possession. It was represented to council that money was badly needed for the completion of the new road from Bamberg to Springtown Ford, and thejr decided to pay now $50 of the amount appropriated It will be remembered that city council appropriated $100 to the building of this road.

Olive Yarn, daughter of Lewis M. and Carrie L. Ayer, and wife of W. Hammie Yarn, was born October 22nd, 1874, and died July 3rd, 1900. Mrs. Vara was twice married. In June, 1890, she was married to Dr. A. C. Yarn, who died in April, 1894. In November, 1897, she and W. H. Yarn were happily united in marriage. Three little children, Lee, by the first, and Malone and Ollie by the second marriage, are left without a mother's care. "Miss Ollie'1 was a faithful member of Pleasant Hill church, and was always in her place in the sanctuary unless providentially hindered. She was a good worker, and ever ready to do what "she could for the Master's cause. She was a helpful hearer of the preached word, h??r intelligent face and attentive man ner reacting on the preacher. She was a christian growing in grace. Of a very positive nature, she was ma taring, under the gracious, softening influence of God's grace, into a firm, helpful, attractive, christian woman. She impressed the writer as being a dutiful daughter, a true mother, a devoted wife, and a sincere friend. Although young in years, "Miss Ollie" was old in suffering, and her sufferings she bore with the christian's fortitude and I resignation. Even when the poor body j was racked with pain, her thoughts Kearse News, e Just a few more days like we are having il now, and the farmers will finish with I. their fodder. 1 Kearse boys crossed bats with Colston 1 on Saturday last, ami the result was 11 to l 11.

Three , members were added to the church, and I they had a very interesting meeting. . Rev. J. G. Beck with was assisted by Rev. Stokes, from Denmark. Misses Alice Sojourner and Bessie Fishburne are visiting the home of Mrs. , R. M. Kearse, much to the delight of their host of admirers. Mr. H. J. Ritter and son, Willie, visited Barnwell last Wednesday. Prof, and Mrs. T. D. Jones, of Ehrhardt, visited Mrs. Henrv Kirkland, of the Buford's Bridge section, last Friday Saturday. I Mastt-r Harry Woodward, of Barnwell, | who has been visiting friends and relatives in our community for the past month, returned to his home last week. . Mr. S. W. Copelaud, one of the most promising business men of Ehrhardt, and MisfifMaud Sease, youugest daughter of Capfc W. E. Sease, will be married next Thursday eveuing, at 7 o'clock, at the home of the bride. We extend congratulations, and wish for them a full measure of joy and happiness.

There is a large warehouse here, where the yellow leaf is sold every day j in the year except Sunday. I have at- j tended several sales, and always find them t interesting. The auctioneer can talk so fast it almost makes one's head swim to i listen to him, though the buyers seem to understand every word he says. It is ( said usually that women can out talk men, but I have never seen one that could j half way talk up to a tobacco auctioneer. Their wives, I am sure, do not get in as manj words, though they may get the ^ last. . t The following may be of interest to t your readers who are interested in to- ^ baceo culture: Number of pounds sold on July 28, opening sales, 63,780; number } of pounds sold to date (August 8), 185,720; highest price paid to date, $55; average ^ price paid to date, $8.25; total amount paid out for tobacco since July 20, $15,- } 220. * j I find the farmers and merchants as a , rule cheerful, and I am told they are im- , proving their homes and their farms as ] a result of the tobacco interest. Since I have heard the farmers talk, and after ex- ( amining the lands, I find that the char- j acter of soil best adapted to the produc- t tion of the best grades of tobacco is light, j floury soil, made rich by the use of about , six hundred pounds of fertilizer per j acre.

The Meetiug at Millious's Spring: as , Viewed by Our Denmark L'orres- 1 pendent. - \ Denmark, August 21.?The county 5 campaign meeting, which was scheduled ( to take place at this town on last Friday, was very advisedly held at "The Springs," > three miles out in the country, where J good water and pleasant shade were I ^ found in great abundance. The day was 11 extremely liot. yet a largE audience was li out to listen to the great number of eaudidates. The meeting was characterized n for the splendid order which prevailed v ' throughout the day, and the uniform, courteous attention given to each speaker, * as he presented his claims to the people. I c Since the Hunter's Chapel and Ehr- q hardt meetings many ugly reports have si been circulated, which have already be- jj come prime factors in the great tight now going on in every part of the county. S None of the candidates seemed anxious ci to talk about combinations, but all of them declared that they had no part in the alleged Bamberg ring?a report which = has thoroughly aroused the people from one end of the county to the other. The scandalous substance has been de- I nied by some reputable men, who aftirm that the town of Bamberg has not put on such a gawkv dress ami will show the mil,li/1 r\n Mnniorv (lur tliut till* flbilltv of |/UU?1V UM |/I IlilUi 1 Udl ?-v , each candidate shall be the only special \ plea to the voter at large. If this state- j ment of the matter is true, the citizens of the town of Bamberg are right, and do not deserve the harsh censure that has been heaped upon them during the past ten days. Anything to the contrary will be resented by the voting public, not only in this election, but in succeeding elections. Such an injection into county politics will be deplorable. Your correspondent begs for harmony and peace, a united effort on the part of all to select the best officers available. Power is a great thing; but, sir, when it is used to ?f accomplish degrading results, no man ^ can respect it, whether it be in the hands ou of an individual or in the cry of an ex- fa cited majority. # Pc Rev. Paul F. Ivisler offered a prayer at the opening of the meeting, after s* which County Chairman Folk was intro- V luced as the presiding officer of the day. Mr. Folk thanked the people for the privilege accorded him, and took occasion ? to announce his candidacy for the office of master in equity. Mr. Folk is said to Pe the most popular citizen in" the county, V md could be elected to any county office *~ le might desire, but the very modest request of the gentleman is probably most lighly appreciated by some of the struggling candidates who have to face much fveaker opponents. Mr. Folk has no opposition. E. T. Lafitte was next presented as a fill candidate for the office of magistrate. J i Mr. Lafitte is a young lawyer and an old nan. The combination of qualities he idvanced as requisite attributes for such in officer were ability and honesty. Mr. Lafitte has made a splendid magistrate, ind is asking for re-election. W Mr. S. G. Ray is running for the same *oal, and requested the voters to vindi?ate the position iie took in the G. W. M. I .j Williams affair by endorsing his candilacy at the primary, claiming that McSweeney had no right to remove him for ;he neglect of duty on the part of his jonstable. Mr. Ray said it was no more lis business to make arrests than it was VfcSweeney's business to raid "blind ;igers." Mr. Joe B. Gillam appealed to a people svho were once his neighbors, and thought ;hat his claim to be coroner was worthy ? ?f their first consideration. G. B. Ayer was brief, promising his >est effort if elected. Uncle Bud Besinger, the present in- T imnbent, wished the people to give him a ]n, fall second term. Uncle Bud appealed to ;be tender hearts of the audience, putting ly AO1 >tress on the fact that the coroner's of- C0! ice was a part of his domestic happiness. ^ J. G. Rentz was content to make his HI , Tai X)W and retire. J. H. Zeigler announced that he was a { poor man, crippled soldier, and worthy . )f close inspection. Mr. Zeigler was rery humorous throughout his speech, ind caught the crowd with the following T rerse: ? kTheyear of jubilee has come, Return, ye dcteatea eanaiuai.es, nome. B. W. Miley was introduced as a can- ^ iidate for the office of probate judge and " natrimony. Judge Miley's-Chinese musache gave him the air of great indiffermce as to the judgeship, which his coninued remarks plainly indicated, but the mbject of matrimony touched the young awyer's heart, in so much that past ef- | rort9 while at Denmark seemed to flood 1( lis memory as he faced his hundreds of friends who knew of his repeated disappointment and the sad experience he had in one occasion with the midnight chan ;icleer. Mr. Miley will be elected. W. T. Cave, candidate for supervisor, laid he didn't electioneer and didn't wish folks to electioneer him. E. C. Bruce came next, and denied kinship or affiliation with the Bamberg ring. ? VIr. Bruce seems to be a good business ^ nan, and promised his best labor for the public if elected. G. H. Kearse presented his record as in old veteran, and said he could do fully is well or better a? supervisor. W. H. Collins leaves it to the people, )ut does not wish the people to forget [lira on the 28th. W. E. Sease, auditor and superintendent if education Bamberg county, asked for re-election, and claimed to merit so much Til from the hands of the people. Ml W. W. Lightsev is after Mr. Sense's 1' ;calp, and seems * anxious to scalp the whole corps of candidates to insure his ?lection. Of course, Mr. Lightsev made his jabs good-naturedly. Mr. Rowell came to the front with a full head of steam, and made a good impression. Mr. I. G. Jennings made the speech of the day. The enthusiastic greeting given his home rival, Mr. Rowell, stirred him to do his grand act. The andience appre ciated his effort. Many dubbed him with IJ assuring compliments. H T A Pitlo hoc ctndipd sr?hr?rtl law and claims that a good superintendent of education is the first object of consideration, followed by that of fitness to do good book keeping. Mr. Bikle has taught eleven years in the common schools. Mr. ?f. A. Chassereau advanced some theories, which he believed to t>e the nucleus of the inner machinery of the office of treasurer. Joseph Dickinson, present incumbent, denied reports current which have linked him to the Bamberg ring. Sheriff J. B. Hunter complimented the g:ople and praised the good water. Mr. unter wishes to be re-elected for a full term. i Joseph H. Lancaster advanced to the front of the rostrum and announced that he was in no combination and took his seat. C. F. Rent/ made a good appearance, and claims many warm supporters in this section. He says he stands a good chance to be the next sheriff. Jovial Charlie Free will be the next clerk of court, his opponent having with- I drawn from the race. a At this point the program was changed. # The hour for dinner was announced, and a recess was given to the tired audience. At 2:30 o'clock the speaking was resumed. Messrs. Bostick, Crum, McCormack, and Col. Folk were presented as candidates for the House. These gentlemen advocated dispensary, good schools, and good roads. New interest was aroused as the candiJates for the Senate were introduced. Dr. J. B. Black defended his course vhile in the legislature some ten or twelve 'ears ago, and explained why he had otcd tor and against certain measures, rhe audience gave the doctor good atention and unanimously voted to give lim more time, when the county Jehairnan announced that his time was up. )r. Black thanked them for their kindicss. hut preferred to finish up his speech irilkin the required limit. Senator May field made a brilliant peech, taking up the threads of Dr. lack's speech, and offered what he laimcd to he the true solution of all uestions and votes, advocated and iipjxirted by his opponent while in the igislature. Mayliehl is very strong in lis section. The last speaker was Clias. Carroll imms, candidate for solicitor of this Ireuit, who presented his claims on the eoplc in a terse yet eloquent speech.' he meeting then adjourned. UKK L XTERZEICIIXER.
