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

Ho)^ carried the following counties:
Fairfield, Greenwood, Greenville, Anderson,
Beaufort, Cherokee, Darlington,
Spartanburg and Dorchester. Some of
these even are very close, and later
figures may give some of the counties to
McSweeney. Richland went for McSweeney,
and lie has carried three
fourths of the counties.

The above figures, however, would indicate
that Creech will be nominated for
Sheriff ; Nevils for Coroner; Halford for
Supervisor; Free for Treasurer; and
O'Bannon for Master.

Letter From Mr. Hunt.
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. J. print works purchased 250,000
pieces of goods today on a basis 2j cents.
They included goods ranging from 25
inch lawns to 884 percales. E. E. 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

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."

the last ten years."
"And who is that?"

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.

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.

Designed the Swamp Angel.
New York, Sept. 8.?Gen. 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.

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. Mrs. Schuyler j
Crowninshield has written for the October
Delineator a charming article regarding
the few women who have been \
honored with White House weddings.
It is both romantically and historically j
interesting. The October number of The
Delineator, in addition to Mrs. Crowninshield's
article and the eighty or more a
sketches of present day styles, which are
prominent features of the magazine, contains
twenty other valuable contributions.
For thirty years it has been trusted by (

"Based upon reliable information from
each of the cotton States and Territories,
taking into consideration the condition
of the cotton crop, we are led to
believe that the following will be the
output of the crop for the season of
1900-1901:
"Alabama, 821,000 bales; Arkansas,
809,000; Florida, 80,000; Georgia, 1,025000;
Indian Territory, 210,000; Louisiana,

Some Wonderful Wounds.
Quartermaster Sergeant Johnson, Secind
Bens, writes from Bloemfoutoin:
I went to see Sergeant Shimmans in the
lospital here. A bullet hit him on the
lutside of the knee, passed out at the top,
.lightly grazing the kneecap, and then
igain passed through the knee on the
eft side and through the tnigh of the
eft leg, so that one bullet made six holes
lut did not damage any bones seriously.
Some of the other men in our regiment
lave had really marvellous escapes.
3ne man was shot in the left side of the
lead, the bullet passing out at the front,
ust above the ball of the eye, and without
hurting the eye at all. Another man
wras shot through the body, just above
;he heart, and was apparently none the
worse, except for a hole through his
;hest."?Loudon Leader.
The Bravery of W'omeu
Was crrani'lv shown bv Mrs. John
* o *
Dowling, of Butler, Pu., in a three years'
struggle with a malignant stomach
rouble that caused distressing attacks of
lausea and indigestion. All remedies
failed to relieve her until she tried Elec:rie
Bitters. After takiug it two months,
ihe wrote: "I am now wholly cured and
:an eat anything. It is truly a grand
:onie for the whole system, as I gained
in weight and feel much stronger since
jsing it." It aids digestion, cures dyspepsia,
improves appetite, gives new
life. Only 50c-. Guaranteed, at Thos.

Boy's Composition on Editors.
Following is an extract from a bright
joy's essay on newspapers:
4'Soine editors belong tp church and
>ome try to raise whiskers. All of them
aise hell in their neighborhood, and all
jf them are liars, at least all 1 know, and
i only know one. Editors never die.
\.t least I never saw a dead one. Someirnes
the paper dies and the people feel
jlad, but some fool starts it up again.
Sditors never went to school because
jditors never get licked. Our paper is a
nighty poor one, but we take it so ma
:an use it on our pantry shelves. Our
sditor don't amount to much till he
nounts a high horse, but pa says he had
i poor chance when he was a boy. He |
