Thursday, September is, lm In last week's Southern Christian Advocate, in the editorial columns, Mr. C. C. Featherstone had a signed letter on the whiskey question. In view of the fact that the gentleman named was at the time managing Col. Hoyt's political headquarters in Columbia, it seems to us the editorial would have come with better grace from some one else. This thing of publishing cards of thanks from candidates after the primary is getting to be something of a nuisance. We notice that a few of our exchanges published several columns of thejn last week, thereby no doubt crowding out other news matter. If our contemporaries would charge for them, as this paper does, there would be less published. Last week this paper received Col. Hoyt's address to the people, with a request for publication. Nothing was said about payment, so of course it did not appear. We notice several other newspapers in the State published the address, and we wonder if they received pay for it. This newspaper has not published McSweeney's circulars; fact is he didn't ask us to, but we publish nothing of a personal nature free. It is astonishing to us that so many newspapers give their space to candidates free. The Bamberg Herald has been and still is working for the best interest of Bamberg, and we know that the efforts put forth have produced good results and benefitted the trade of our merchants. Now, the laborer is worthy of his hire^ and we feel that we have the right to claim some advertising patronage from our business men. Some few of them advertise with us now, but there are many who do not. We have now a larger circulation than any paper ever published here. We have spent much money and worked hard to improve the P paper, and we respectfully submit that our business men as a rule should show, in a substantial way, some appreciation of our work for the town. ^ "A newspaper can say nice things about a man and his whole family for two long years, and then incur their lifelong emnity in one short week by a seeming slight. Yes, it's a fact; and you can hurrah for a candidate,'back his* friends, cuss his enemies and make a big fool of yourself all the way through, without a thank in the end, only to find that when you are a candidate that he is "out o' politics." But there is one man that aon't forget you, and that's the man you opposed." The above paragraph is from the editorial columns of the Anderson Intelligence, and is. so true and expresses our sentiments so well, that we republish it. Truly, the way of the newspaper man is hard. But, then we can't expect to Tv please everybody. This newspaper quit f " ; trying some time ago. We go ahead and do our duty as we see it, trying to live up to the principle of treating every |g?.*u man and measure fairly, let the results be what they may. The Election. The primary election for State and offices for 1900 is happily over. The State ticket stands at present: For United States Senator, Benjamin R. Tillman. For Governor, Miles B. McSweeney. For Lieutenant Governor, James H. Tillman. For Attorney General, G. Duncan Bellinger. For Secretary of State, Marion R. Cooper. For Superintendent of Education, John J. McMahan. For Adjutant General, J W. Floyd. For State Treasurer, R. H. Jennings. For Comptroller General, J. P. Derham. For railroad commissioner, J. H. Wharton. For Congress?First district, William Elliott; 2d district, W. J. Talbert; 3d, A. C. Latimer; 4th, Joseph T. Johnson; 5th, D. E. Finley; 6th, Robert B. Scarborough, 7th, J. Wm. Stokes. The total vote of the State for Governor accounted for is about 60,000, of McSweeney has 34,510; Hoyt 24,059. For Lieutenant Governor Tillman has 34,598; Sloan 26,725. For Railroad Commissioner Wharton's figures are 33,436; W. D. Evans 23,102. There was only one contest for congress, in the sixth district, between Norton and Scarborough. Norton, the incumbent, is defeated, the vote standing ci 1 v. t* XT ? ir?> oearuuruugu v,vou; .wnuu Ho)^ carried the following counties: Fairfield, Greenwood, Greenville, Anderson, Beaufort, Cherokee, Darlington, Spartanburg and Dorchester.

Editor The Bambeko Herald: The writer has just learned, through a Bamberg correspondent, of the publication ol a story in the "State" which was printed originally in a Trenton paper. The inj formation comes likewise that the author has been severely criticized for the utterances contained in said article. It is not ntv desire to discuss the matter at length, neither do I wish to offer any detailed explanation. I would like to say, however, that there certainly was no intention to offend. An effort was made to interest or entertain the readers of the paper in which the storv was first published, and one could not expect the people of the described section to enjoy it. Still they had ought to understand that a description of the customs in any section would prove interesting, or even amusing, to people in another part of the country. If any who have condemned the writer for the article in question will come to New Jersey, or any other Northern State, I promise to show them customs which, from a Southern standpoint, will afford material for a story which will at once prove both interesting and amusing. It should be remembered, too, that the private opinion of a correspondent, and what he writes for the papers, very often represent diverse sentiment, but it is his mission to submit that which will interest or amuse. He is not supposed to be sensitive to criticism, but this supposition is wrong in some instances. I had rather be condemned for a dozen indiscreet statements here than forfeit the good will of auy of my Southern friends or acquaintances. 1 haver met and learned to know enough Southern people to form a true estimate of their many sterling qualities and to appreciate their high sense of honor and true hospitality. This is not the first time I have given expression to that sentiment in print or otherwise, and I honestly believe that nowhere in this broad laud is there a people more generous, more hospitable, more to be desired as friends, than those of the South. It has been my privilege to visit a number of towns in Dixie land, and in none did I make more pleasant acquaintances than in Bamberg. I have written much more than I intended, but in conclusion, permit me to ask that the writer be not too severely criticized for his seeming absence of gratitude, and remember that a story of Northern eccentricities awaits the wielding of the pen by any South Carolinian or person from any other section than our own. But I shall not take offense when it is written, even if it is stated that we eat Irish potatoes as often as the people of South Carolina eat rice. Thanking you for this space, I am Very respectfully Edw. A. Hunt. Trenton, N. J., July, 1900. Happennings in the Country. A very refreshing rain was a welcome visitor last Saturday afternoon, as it had been quite a while since we had any. We are glad to say Mr. H. J. Bellinger is up after several days illness with fever. Mrs. A. A. Zeigler, of Clear Pond, spent several days last week in the city, the guest of her brother and sister, Mr. J. W. Hill and Mrs. M. C. Sandifer. A very pleasant picnic was given at Springtown last Saturday, in honor of Miss Alma Sandifer, as she left yesterday for college to resume her studies. Miss Nellie Hanberry was in our community last week. Mr. C. K. Smoak and Miss Belle Sandifer worshipped at Colston Sunday. Mrs. Maud Bishop, (nee Miss "Williams,) of Lodge, was the guest of Mrs. Northrop Bellinger last week. A very pleasant party was given in her honor Saturday evening, which was very much enjoyed, and the success of the evening was largely due to the admirable way that Mrs. Bellinger entertained her guests. Mrs. Risher is now visiting her cousin, Mrs. Miles Black, in the city. Mr. B. A. Jordan, of Johnston, and Cadet J. M. Hill, also Misses G. E. Jordan and Minnie Patrick visited Miss Alma Sandifer Monday afternoon and evening. Politics are all the rage, and the candidates seem to be very much in earnest, judging by the honest appeal one of them was making, on his knees, not long since, while the modest voter was all blushes and interest. We hope that election day will settle this important question, and all other questions of the same nature. Miss Georgie E. Jordan is the guest of her cousin, Miss Mabel Hill, this week, who is real sick. The farmers are very busy gathering the fleecy staple, though the crop is real short this year. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Smoak visited their sister, Mrs. J. E. Sandifer, at Clear Pond Saturday and Sunday, wno, we are sorry to report, is very sick. Miss Leila Sandifer entertained her friends one evening last week at an ice cream party. G. Prints Most Rise. Fall River, Mass., Sept. 8.?The Passiac, N.

Poor, Jr., treasurer of the works, who passed through the city from Boston today said that the demand for print goods had not seemed to warrant a price better than 2J cents for regulars, but the strong cotton market made it quite certain that nothing lower than 2$ cents could be expected from manufacturers. The market was very active today. The sales for the week including today's transactions ?11 1 - - 1 4 1 l)-<t AlUt Will l>e niKiut i,^t#u,wu jjiclto. Monitor Wyoming Launched. San Francisco, Sept. 8?The United States monitor Wyoming was successfully launched at high tide this morning from the shipyard of the Union Iron Works in the presence of thousands of people, lined along the shore or crowded on excursion steamers. The event had been made a feature of the semi-centennial celebration of California's admission into the union. The launching was managed without a hitch. Miss Hattie Warren, daughter of Senator Warren, of Wyoming, christened the ! vessel. . Little more than the hull of the Wyoming is finished but work is being pushed forward. | "Madame, are you a woman suffragist?" j "No, sir; I haven't time to be." "Haven't.time?

"My husband."?Lincoln JournaL \ " * / / Quaker Who Refused to Fight. There were some Friends, or Quakers, from South Carolina in the battle of Gettysburg who were forced into the ranks, but who, from the beginning to the end, refused to fight. They were from Guilford county, which was mostly settled bv their sect. About a dozen of them were in Lee's army at Gettysburg, and were among the prisoners captured there. They had steadily borne practical testimony to the strength of their principles in opposing war. One of them who refused to tight was ordered to be shot. A squad of twelve men were drawn up in line to shoot him. They loved him as a brother because of his goodness, and when ordered to tire every man refused. The remainder of the company was called up and ordered to shoot the first twelve if they did not execute the order. The intended victim folded his hands, and raised his eyes, and said: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." The entire company threw down their muskets and refused to obey the 1 - mi pontniii W'itll oruer. men au^uam. v..t. a horrid oath, tried to shoot him with a pistol. The cap would not explode. Then he dashed upon him with his horse, but the meek conscript was unharmed. Just then a charge of some of Mead's troops drove the Confederates from their position, and the Quaker became a prisoner. He and his coreligionists were sent to Fort Delaware, when the fact was made known to some of their sect in Philadelphia. It was laid before the president, and he ordered their release. ?Lossing's Pictorial Field Book of the Civil War. The Lane that Had No Turning. Since adventuring into Egypt in quest of raw material of which fiction is made. Mr. Gilbert Parker's Canadian fields have been lying fallow. He returns to them, however, with new vigor, and even , fuller power; and the serial which he has just completed finds him at the highest dramatic level to which he has vet attained. The Lane that Had No Turning is remarkable for its honest strength, and absorbing interest. The scene of the storv is Pontiac (whither Yalmond came), and the period of the middle fifties. The leading characters are Madelinette, a famous singer, and her husband, Seignior of Pontiac, for whom she dares all and risks all. The story gains i interest as it progresses and concludes with a striking and wholly unexpected finale.

Edward Wellman Serrell, warned by physicians that peritonitis threatened his life, three hours later married Miss Marion C. Roorbach, of Staten Island. The ceremony was performed at the general's bedside in the Hotel Clarendon by the Rev. Samuel Tyler, assistant pastor of St. George's church. Gen. Serrell and Miss Roorbach, who is a daughter of the late Orville A. Roorbach, a publisher of this city, have been lifelong friends. They were to have been married in October, but the general's severe illness prompted him to ask his tiance if their wedding could not take place at once. She consented and the ceremony was performed. Gen. Serrell is 74 years of age. He has for fifty years been one of the most distinguished engineers in this city. He was one of the associate engineers in constructing the Erie railroad and the Central railroad of New Jersey. He was chief engineer of the Niagara bridge, built in 1850, and the renowned Hoosac tunnel. He has large interest in the proposed isthmus canal. In 1848 he accompanied the first engineering party of exploration to Panama. Gen. Serrell was one of the principal promoters of the Credit Mobilier, by which the Union Pacific was built. During the civil war he became colonel of the First New York Volunteers. He was chief engij neer and chief of staff under Gen. B. F. I Butler in 1846, and designed the Swamp Angel battery that bombarded Charleston. He was in 162 different actions. Bishop Turner's Politics. Savannah, Sept. 10.?Bishop H. M. Turner of the Afro-American Methodist church denies the report that he will take the stump in favor of the election of Mr. Bryan. In an interview he says: "I am not a Democrat, never have been one and never expect to be, and I have no intention of stumping the country for Mr. Bryan. I dislike Mr. McKiuley, and the attitude which he has assumed to* ward the negro, and I intend to vote for Mr. Bryan in the belief that any change is better than none. This is no new change of heart with me. For 16 years I have been cooling towards the Republican party, ever since the decision I of the supreme court which practically | held that a negro had no civil rights. From that date to this the decisions of the supreme court have been against the negro where a question of his political or civil rights was involved. I have heard of one instance where the supreme court held in the case of a negro from Texas that he was entitled to trial bv a jury of his peers, that is one composed at least partly of negroes, but I have not verified this. The supreme court has practically de-citizenized the negro and has nullified the amendments to the constitution. I do not know what ill*. Bryan's views are I on these questions which affect the negro race, but I believe that he is a man of sufficient honesty to use his influence in behalf of right and justice, i "Mr. McKinlev has done nothing for the negro except to appoint a few of thein to office." How Storm A fleeted Cotton. Houston, Tex., Sept. 10.?There is no doubt that the cotton crop has been seriously injured throughout southern and central Texas. Owing to the excessive ruins this year the cotton has grown to weed more than ever known and in some fields it ranges from 0 to 10 feet high aud is very rank with leaf. The wind whipped and twisted the stalks, beating the open cotton, out of the burr and the rain has beaten it into the ground, so that it is ruined. Maine Elections. Portland, Me., Sept. 10.?Returns from 200 towns aud plantations out of 812 districts give Hill (Rep.) 4d,734; Lord (Dem.) 24,107. Same places four years ago gave Powers (Rep.) 47,702, and Frank (Dem.) 19,4o9. This shows a Republican loss of 11 per cent, and a Democratic gain of 20 per cent. On this basis it is estimated that the Republican plurality this year will be about 32,291. mmmm .r -- - ' iiwii mini n i n i wM+mmm South Carolina Cotton Mill New*. [Textile Excelsior].

' President MeK in ley's Niece. j The marriage of Miss Mabel McKinlev, niece of President McKinlev, naturally arouses interest in "The Brides of the White House," because of Miss McKinley's close relationship to the chief ex- t ecutive of the nation.
