They have prepared themselves for better work by attendance at the summer schools. Miss Lillier Stevens, who will teach the first first grade, took a special course in primary work at Rock Hill this summer, and the method of instruction in her ' room will prove very beneficial to the pupils, and also will be interesting to visitors. Miss Pet Stephens also attended Rock Hill, and took the course of study that will aid her in her grades. . 1 .Miss JKcrtha Wells has met with a very I favorable reception, and will prove aii excellent addition to the corps of teachers. Aside from the equipment of the building, Bamberg has reason to be proud of her school. No school has a better set of teachers Mho so thoroughly understand their work and are prepared for it. Some improvement will be made each year in furnishing the school with all necessary apparatus. More desks, maps, globes, and charts are needed. A beginning of a school library will be attempted this year. Happenings In the Country. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Smoak visited Mr. and Mrs. Northrop Bellinger Sunday.

E. C. Bruce. Harlzog Happenings. "We are having some nice showers, .but we fear they have come too late to do much good in the way of peas, pinders and potatoes. The crops above mentioned are almost a total failure here, together with sugar cane and late gardening. We are glad to note among the visitors this week: Mrs. J. F. Folk, of Greenville, the guest of Mr. D. O. Steedly. Now, a word about the primary, and we are done. It gives pain to your humble scribe to see the way things are carried on. We do say that a man that can be bought for a few drinks of XX rye or a dollar that looks as big to them as a full moon, should not be allowed to vote, even with the darkies. But we have said enough on the subject, and let us be calm and serene and breathe the prayer of the prophet and say as he did, neither jive us poverty nor riches. ' Hartzog, Sept. 17,1900.' C. A. P. A Good Order. The Southern railway has issued an order to its employees against discsssing politics while on duty. This is not intended to prevent the exercise of the rights of citizenship, nor even to prohibit "offensive partisanship," but is in the interest of the safety of the traveling public. The company says that the number of railway accidents, not on its lines alone but on all lines, is much greater during a presidential campaign than at any other time, and attributes this to the fact that employees sometimes become engrossed in politics to the neglect of their more immediate duty. lYheat Prizes. The Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company is endeavoring to get the fanners to raise wheat by offering prizes to the raisers of the best crop.

Why He Wanted the Quarter A tattered and torn, red faced stranger slouched up to me on Front street the other evening, says a writer in the "Worcester Spy. Before he opened his mouth I knew that it was a "touch," but I couldn't get away and had to hear him out. "Say, young fellar, if I was to tell yer that I wanted a quarter to get a square meal you's think I wanted the money to buy rum with, wouldn't yer?" That's just what I thought and I so informed him and started to pass on. "And if I was to be frank and tell yer that I wanted the quarter to buy whiskey, with you'd tell me that you didn't care to encourage the drink habit I suppose?" he broke in. ? ? ~ ? U in fVto offimiQ I again aiisvtcicu uuu m mi. | tive and started to move on. "And if I told yer that I wanted that quarter to buy food for a starvin' wife and twenty small children you'd put me down as a liar, wouldn't yer?" Again I said yes, and again tried to get past him. "Well, young fellar, I want that quarter j to hire a truckman to take mv mothcr-iulaw's trunk down to the depot. Do I get it?" I was phased for once, and before I knew it had dug into my jeans and discovered a lone nickel. I compromised with him for that amount and sent him on his way rejoicing. Powder Mill Explosion.

The following is the weekly summary of the condition of the weather and crops in South Carolina, issued by State Section Director J. W. Bauer, of the climate and crop service of the United States weather bureau: The first part of the week ending 8 a. m., September 17 was extremely hot, with a maximum temperature of 100 at three points. The latter part was cooler, but the beat continues abnormally high. The lowest temperature was G2 at Greenville. The drought was broken by general rains beginning on the 18th aud continuing to the 16th, with amounts ranging from a half to over three inches. The rainfall has put the soil into excellent condition for plowing and for sowing oats and turniDS. and was beneficial to minor crops, but came too late to benefit corn and cotton. It replenished creeks and streams where cattle watered, the supply of stock water having been very scarce at places. There is no improvement to be noted in late corn, which in many places failed to ear; the corn crop as a whole is estimated at less than half an average yield. Some farmers are hoeing their corn. Cotton continues to open rapidly, and nearly all is now open, but the rain will tend to check premature opening, and to increase the size of the immature bolls. In places the plants are again blooming, and report a small top crop, but generally the top crop is unpromising. The weather favored rapid picking, and about, half the crop is gathered. The rains damaged open cotton slightly. Correspondents estimate the yield this year at about half an average crop. Sea island shows slight improvement, but is blooming to the top and the plants are dwarfed. Peas, sweet potatoes, pastures, fall gardens and late rice, which are very poor, have begun to improve. Tiice harvest is progressing and in places is nearly finished, except for June plantings, which will ripen in October. Beans, cabbages, white potatoes and other truck are being planted on the coast truck farms under favorable conditions. The hay and other forage crops will be short and are incapable of being much improved, borne oats nave been sown. Miss Jewett Hanged in Effigy. Richmond, Va.., Sept. 17.?!Miss Lillian Clayton Jewett's sudden departure from the city Friday saved her the humiliation of seeing herself hanged in effigy. Early Saturday a bogus representation of the ! Boston anti-slavery agitator was found dangling from a tree in Monroe park, near the tracks of the railroad leading to the J north. When Keeper Walton arrived a ] crowd of boys, standing about, enlight- i ened him as to the unsightly object hang- i ing some feet from the ground. This was ] the inscription on the body: "Lillian Clayton Jewett, South Hater and Negro's Worst Enemy."?A faLe ] witness shall not be unpunished, and he i that speaketh lies shall perish."?Prov 1 erbs xix, 9.

Nokkous, Va:, Sept. 15.?Aa''effort w:is made, to secure the indorsement of the Sonth Carolina dispensary ]aw by the Methodist district conference, in session here. A lengthy and heated dift cussion was precipitated by a clause contained in the report by the committee on temperance. While strongly condemning intemperance. the report commended to the consideration of the conference the dispensary plan, which was reported to be working with excellent results at nearby points. The point was made by several ministers that the church would compromise itself by recommending any particular method of liquor selling. Rev. Mr. MoGhee championed the idea as being the only piactical remedy for the saloon yet discovered. He laid special stress on drunkenness among negroes, and declared that the two great questions before the Southern people are the negro question and the liquor question. When the latter is solved, he said, the lirst will be all but adjusted. The conference refused to endorse the plan. A Word to Mothers.

Cure guaranteed. Only 25c. Sold by Thos. Black, J. B. Black and Bamberg Pharmacy. A Georgia editor, recently married, wrote' thusly: "When a young fellow lirst gets married he feels so rich that he imagines he can live on love, but when f the seat of his trousers begins to look like a Chinese war map, and his stomach feels as empty as his hand, he feels like trading his 'duckie' for a ginger cake and hiring out for a scarecrow. Two hearts may beat as one, but two mouths don't eat as one."?Ex. A Card.

New York, Sept, 18.?For the first time in New York's financial history A'merican investors were appealed to today at almost the same moment in behalf of two distinct foreign government loans. The German loan circular giving details of the terms on which Kuhu, Loeb & Co., and the National City hank will receive bids for the offering were published just at the time the Swedish government loan prospectus was being circulated. The German loan offering will probably rank among the most successful ever placed by a foreign government in the United States owing to the instant success of the movement following the announcement of the New York Life's heavy sul>scription. The Swedish prospectus contemplates a loan of $10,000,000, the bonds to bear 4 per cent, for 10 years, the loan to be made with a view to construction of railways and other remunerative purposes. ' .
