Although few of the candidates in this
county are trained speakers, the speeches

meetings, by all the candidates;
man Coroner up, have been considerably
above the averages In fact we were surprised

of the candidates for even the minor positions.

Appeals Dismissed.
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.

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.

Obituary.
Mrs. M. 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

A False Charge.
Editor The Bamberg Herald:?-As
much as I dislike to take myself into the
public prints, I feel that it is the only
method left me to correct a report that I
learn is being circulated against me, to
I the effect that I am short in my accounts.
-- ?? 1
This report is malicious auu nuuuv untrue.
My books are open to the public
who trusted me, and the public is invited '
to inspect them. I trust my friends will
refute this charge, while it fills me with .
regret to feel that even mv enemies would
1
press false charges of such a vile nature '
against me. I will gladly lay before any
one who wishes to inspect it my settle- j
ment with the comptroller general, which
gives me a clean sheet. Trusting that the J
people will hold me guiltless of charges 1
absolutely false, I am, <
Very respectfully, ,
J. Dickinson-,
Bamberg, S. C., August 22,1900. 1
Capt. Bamberg Withdraws. j
Owing to my inability to attend all the
campaign meetings, or io visit my friends <
at their homes in the various sections of ^
the county, I have decided to withdraw
from the race for clerk of court. In doing 1
so I wish to thank my many friends i
throughout the county for the encourage- }
ment they have given me, and to assure
them it shall always be my pleasure to
meet them and serve them in any way I 1
may be able. Respectfully,
G. P. Bamberg. j
Letter From Nichols. J
Editor The Bamberg Herald: I
am still in the tobacco belt of our State. ,
This week I am at Nichols, in Marion ^
count.v. 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. From mv observation, I think *
\
there is not very much land around Bam- j
berg suitable to the growth of the best j
grades. <
Myself and better half are quite well, 1
aud she is growing fat on Pee Dee bream <
and red-breasts, while I am enjoying j
them and maintaining my usual averdupoise.

The happiest thing I ever saw was a *
boy, barefooted and dirty. He carried *
mud between his toes and freckles on his j
nose, and his heart was full of dreams ]
and his head full of schemes and his
pocket full of strings and slings and j
other things. His billy goat and his dog j
were his daily companions, and he roamed
over the hill and yelled because he had a s
yeller and whooped because he had a
whooper. At home he was the autocrat j
at the breakfast table and supper table;
at school he was the democrat of the play- 1
grounds and the republican of the lunch J
basket?he wanted everything in sight. 1
He abhorred the bath tub and the Bible, '
and was the sworn enemy of castor oil '
and civilization. He was everlastingly
under indictment for high crimes and
misdemeanors, and attempted to prove an 1
alibi. His father tried and convicted

"My son, don't you go to Sunday-school?"
"Yes, sir." "Don't you study the Bible
there?" "Yes, sir." "Well, can you tell
me what it says about a lie?" The boy
scratched his head and looked guilty, but
finally recovered his equilibrium, and replied
with a twinkle in his eye: "It says
a lie is au abomination in the sight of the
Lord and a very present help in time of
trouble."

CAMPAIGN MEETING.
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.
