The recent race troubles in Georgetown ought to impress upon every community the necessity of maintaining a thoroughly organized and equipped milpnmmnr And this lends lis to re . - mark, what are the substantial citizens of Bamberg doing for the welfare of the Bamberg Guards ? They should at least have the sympathy and encouragement of our people, if not financial support. ^ We have been at some pains to ascertain the sentiment of our people in regard to abolishing the present system of ' working our public roads and working them entirely with convicts hired from the State to supplement the county chain gang. We are glad to say that we have yet to hear of any opposition to the idea, and our representatives in the legislature should endeavor to have the road law changed in so far as it relates to Bamberg county. The Graniteville News is authority for the statement that among the persons arrested in a gambling den in Augusta last week was "our lately nominated candidate for lieutenant governor of this State."?Greenville News. Surely there must be some mistake about the above, for it really seems that the lieutenant governor-elect of South Carolina would nave 100 iuucu regaiu .for the honor and dignity of his State to be caught in a gambling den. If the charge is true, Mr. Tillman should resign at once. But we sincerely hope it is a mistake. While The Bamberg Herald has never attempted or claimed to be a moulder of public opinion, still it has some well ~ grounded opinions on public questions, and has advocated them consistently. In view of the fact that we are heartily in favor of good roads and good, common schools it is a source of gratification to us to know that so much interest is being taken bj' our people in the school question. Bamberg is a small county, yet there are now twelve of her school districts that have an extra levy for school purposes, many of them being as much as three mills. Three districts have this ikvV 3Tear voted a special levy, and it will I*, ' ' - only be a matter of a short time when every school district in the county will supplement their school fund with special levies. Several newspapers of the State are discussing the abolishing of the primary 'system for State' officers at least, and I some have even gone so far as to say the primary must go. One of the strongest reasons presented is the campaign of ; mud-slinging and personalities now indulged in by the candidates. The primary is not to blame for that. Personalities and contemptible politics would be unheard of if we had a better class of candidates. Give us a better class of men and we will have clean campaigns. We know, of course, that there were many good men in the late campaign as candidates, but it is a notorious fact that some were not what they ought to be. We rather think the primary has come to stay, and, for our part, for the present at any rate, stand for a direcl vote of the people for all offices. The Reproach of Russia. Mr. George Kennan, in his Siberian sketches, says Dr. Nathan M. Babad in I Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for October, draws a powerful picture of these horrors from an American point of view. And yet how much of the more intimate character of that life escaped his keen ' . . observation. There is nothing in the whole history of Siberia more revolting, to my mind, "more horrible than the death of Sigida and her fellow prisoners. She was a beautiful woman swept away by the current of Nihilism, and in due time gathered in together with others by the net of the Third Section. Their treatment in the female prison at the hands of the Siberian officials was brutal in the extreme. Unable to get the ear of the l.ir.1 W?- nntliaritioc tlio nn fnrtll wo - man decided upon a novel vet excruciating method of making their protest heard. They chose starvation as a weapon. For twenty-one days Sigida touched no food. This brought no results. Emaciated, on the point of insanity, Sigida, to draw attention of the government in some radical way, publicly slapped the face of Masikoff, the prison warden. Her fate, after this, , defies description. She was first kept alive by the forcible introduction of food. With the last strength in her, the poor . woman struggled against it. But even she could not dream of what was in store for her. Two weeks later an ukase was issued subjecting all political convicts, men and women, to the punishment inflicted upon common murderers. Women . were to be flogged as well as men, and Sigida was decided upon as the first victim. She was doomed fp receive a hundred blows by the knout! The physician in charge declared his doubt as to her survival. But tliis did not matter. Colonel Bobrovski was called upon to intend to the execution. He looked into her pale, haggard face, vulgarly felt her arms, and said with a cvnical sneer: "Oh, she's all right! This one will survive more blows than that." And he actually ordered the execution to take place in his presence. This is not ancient history. It happened on the Oth of November, lssit.?

Last Monday morning the Columbia State contained the following in reference to a threatened race riot at Georgetown : A race riot is impending at Georgetown. This (Monday) morning at 1.20 the governor received an appeal for help from the mayor of Georgetown. The telegram was dated 12.50 a. m.. and the affair must evidently be serious or quiet would have been restored before that late hour of the night. The governor ordered Col. .1. 1). Sparkman, the fearless commander of the cavalry regiment, to at once muster all available troops neeessarv M:ivor "Morgan's dismteh irave few details, but at the hour at which it was I received indicates the serious state of at" fairs. The message reads as follows: Georgetown, Oct. 1,12.">0 a. in. To Gov. M. B. McSweenev. Order Col. Sparkman, commanding: troops, and Capt. Ward, of liilie Guards, to report to mayor and sheriff with companies to preserve peace. Negroes are gathering in large numbers. The trouble is caused bv a negro killing a white man last flight. Later trouble is feared tonight. Order quick and answer. W. D. Morgan, Mayor. The governor wired Capt. Ward to have his company hurried to the scene of trouble. He wired Col. Spark man to issue the orders for any other companies in his troops if it be necessary to have an additional force to preserve the peace. To Mayor Morgan he wired asking to be kept posted at every movement so that he could exercise every means available to keep down the trouble. The negroes in Georgetown outnumber the whites overwhelmingly. The presence of the soldiers seemed to have had a soothing effect on the negroes, as the following telegram shows : Georgetown, Oct. 1.?The Georgetown race riot does not materialize, at least it looks so up to midnight. The trouble arose Saturday evening when J. C, Scurry, a deputy sheriff, went into a barber shop to collect delinquent taxes from a negro barber, John Browntield. A dispute arose and words came to blows. In the scuttle that followed Scurry's pistol dropped from his pocket and was snapped up by the negro, (Brownheld), who, in rapid succession, fired five shots at Scurry, each taking effect in some part of his body. The negro then fled but was captured by a policeman and put in jail. Scurry died at 10 o'clock Sunday morning. Excitement ran high, for it was considered coldblooded murder. The coroner's jury was composed of white men. A rumor was circulated among the negroes that the white men during the night would ring the fire bell, and when the negroes would rush to their engines | then the whites would run to the jail, take Browufield out and lynch him. This is exactly what the negroes did themselver about 7.80, and before the bell was through ringing, by prearrangement, between 800 and 1,000 negroes gathered around the jail with guns and rifles to protect, as they said,"the negro from being lynched. The ringing of the lire bell was accompanied by screams and yells from the negro women aud children. Mayor W. D. Morgan, Sheriff Skinner and others went to the jail and tried to persuade them to disperse, but they told them flatly they would not. Capt. S. M. Ward, of "the Georgetown Rifle Guards, called out his company and they have been under arms ever since. About 3 o'clock this morning the negroes left the jail but<freely threatened to burn the town.

Garrison, cashier of the bank of Thornville, Ohio, had been robbed of health by a serious lung trouble until he tried Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption.

A number of negres were in town today but no outward demonstration was made. Company H, of Sumter, under command of Capt. H. F. Wilson, in response to a telegram from Gov. McSweeuey, called out his company, and in 35 minutes 37 men were at the depot and boarded the train for Georgetown. They arrived at 9.10 and were-met by the Georgetown rifles and escorted to the armory, where refreshments are now being served. A special from Charleston bearing 180 men with Gatling and Hotchkiss guns, in addition to other arms, left Charleston at 8.40. At 1.05 a. m. only a few negroes are to be seen on the streets and everything is apparently as quiet as a May morning. Some arrests will be made to-morrow, but this will not create any disturbances, for the negroes seem overawed by the presence of the militiamen. Early this morning Mr. Josiali Doar was shot through the leg by the accidental discharge of a gun in "the hands of a militiaman. He may lose his leg. What's Your Faee Worth?

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local application as they cannot reach the diseased poition of the ear. There is* only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing; and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can tie taken out, and this tube restored to its normall condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

"NVktumka, Ala., October 2.?Winfield Townseud, alias Floyd, a negro, was burned at the stake in the little town of Eleetie, fifteen miles from this place, a half hour after midnight this morning. The negro's crime was an attempted assault on Mrs. Lonnie Harrington, whose husband set lire to the brands which reduced Townsend's body to ashes. Yesterday afternoon about 1 o'clock, the negro, who was a nephew of Floyd, the negro who was hanged in the Wetumka jail week before last for attempted assault, attempted- to outrage Mrs. Harrington. Mr. Harrington was engaged at a cotton gin in Electric and lives one mile out of town. The negro came to the house and told Mrs. Harrington that he.r husband had sent him to get 20 cents from her. She told him she had no change. Then the negro left, but returned in about ten minutes. The woman's screams were heard by Bob Nichols, another negro, who was passing along the road at the time. He ran to the house in time to see the negro escape. As soon as M rs. Harrimrton was restored to consciousness Nichols gave the alarm. The iu'\vs spread rapidly. All the stores at Elect ic were instantly closed; the ginneries and saw mills shut down ; the people left their wagons in the road and their plows in the field and gathered foi a pursuit of the negro. The crowd di vided, some scouring'the woods near tht scene of the crime and others went to tht penitentiary for bloodhounds. The dogs were not brought to tht scene until nearly dark, They wert taken to where the negro's traek disap peared and an exciting chase ensued The dogs stopped finally at a tree ir front of Odion's store, on the north out skirts of Electic. The crowd coming uj at this time, soon discovered the negrc sitting on a limb. He was brought dowr at once and taken to the scene of his crime. There he was confronted by his victim, who positively identified him Wwrd was sent to the other searching parties that the negro had been found and about 11 o'clock a crowd of several hundred was in the little village. Tin negro was taken to the edge of the vil lage, shivering with fear, and surrounded by the mob. The preparations for deatl were quickly made. A rope was flunj over the limb of a big oak ambahundret men stood ready to lend a hand at tin rope. Then a halt was called and the mannei of death discussed by the mob. To de cide the matter a vote was taken, and tin balloting showed a majority of the crow* to favor death at the stake. The stake was prepared and the negrc was bound to it with chains. Pine knob were piled about him and the torch was applied by the husband of the negro's victim. As they leaped to the wretch's flesh his wild cries upon God for mere} and help could be heard for miles. The crowd looked on, deaf to his cries, and ii: an hour the negro was reduced to ashes Townsend, before beiug bound, confesses the crime and said he was also implicate! with Aleck. Floyd, who was hanged a couple of weeks ago for an attempted as sault on Miss Kate Pearson, in the at tempt at that time. He said that he ant Floyd had planned for other crimes ol like character, but that Floyd's beinti hanged had put a stop to them. Townsend made a confession implicating seven other negroes in his crime. As this is the second white woman assaulteti in this vicinity within the month it is believed there is a conspiracy among tin negroes. One of the negroes implicated in the confession of Townsend Mas it jail here charged with burglary and as threats of lynching Mere maae he was sent to Montgomery to-night for safe keeping. The deputy sheriff had a wilt drive of fourteen miles through the coun try and had he been thirty minutes latei a crowd of men m ho left here by trait m ould have intercepted him. After reach ing Montgomery two other negroes wht m ere implicated in the crime m ere arrest ed by the deputy. They are Frank Floyc and Jake Floyd, brothers of the negrc Zeb Floyd, m ho Mas lynched near We tumpka, Sept. 9. A singular coincidence is that Mrs Harrington, m ho m as assaulted }resterda} is a kinsMom^n of Miss Pearson, m*1k m as assaulted on Sept. 3, for which Zel Floyd m as lynched. More trouble ma} arise.

Savannah,Oct. 2?Not in years has cotton been rushed to the European markets so early in the season as during the past few weeks. The ships have el eared from Savannah in fleets and there are now many vessels bound to the other side loaded with cargoes that are very valuable because of the present high price of cotton. The manner in which the staple is being hurried from this port has caused considerable comment among those who watch for the departure of ships of all classes. Southern (lotion Mills.

After a somewhat remarkable career, the Bellevuo hospital patient known as . the "Man with the Iron Mask," is dead. Thomas Oliver Colt was the name of the man. Twice in his life he had come prominently before the public. - Colt was related intimately to the celebrated family of gunmakers of that name. His parents were well-to-do in Connect i- * cut, where he was horn. At the age of 15, while playing ball, he was struck in the face with a bat. His cheek bones were fractured and his nose was broken. Erysipelas followed and the nose was lost, as was a portion of the face. He was recovering in a ward of liellevue * hospital, where he had heen nrougm nv his family from Cincinnati, when lie learned of his appearance. "1 would rather die than go through life without a nose," said he. "And 1 1 will die." In the hospital the head of the surgical division was Prof. Thomas C. Sahine, who heard the story, and said he would make 1 the boy a nose. "Out of what?" inquired the other | surgeons. ' "Out of one of his lingers," replied Mr. Sabine, and the result was the first Sabine ' operation, as it now is known. Colt's left hand was placed on his face, and the third finger relieved of the nail and placed at the bridge of his nose. It took two months to grow there, i while it was held in position by a plaster " cast, and then it was cut from the hand at the second joint. Thirty-two opera1 tions and two years in the hospital made " a new face on Colt. It was nota beauti) ful one, but it was a face. People stared ) at him and made remarks. Naturalist 1 sensitive, he became more so, and finally ' took to hiding his face. He transacted < ..f i.!c )>iicivtocc thmiiirfi another I1IUM l?l Ills L/U.7IUVKV v... v. ? person. Mentally he was bright. In ' business he was shrewd and made > money in the photographic supply busi' ness, having a wholesale place in No. 15 : North Moore street this city. In 1890 he fell in love with Miss Plate, ' of Orange, N. J. She was a beautiful 1 girl, and he said she reciprocated his [ affection and had written to him that she ' loved hint because of his mind. In ; Novemlier 1890. lie shot her in front of Taylor's hotel, Jersey City. He. then r shot himself. Both lived and he was " tried for attempted murder before Judge ! Hudspeth. He set up insanity as his de' fense. There was testimony by experts on insanity and the jury found him ' guilty. He was sentenced to 15 years in 5 Trenton. After serving two years he ' was pardoned. He returned to New 5 York and again went into business. 5 His aversion to having persons see him grew as he grew older. He continually i wrapped his face in a mutller when on 1 the street, so that he showed liittle more * than his eyes. In cold weather he wore a coat with a collar that hid his face. ' An extra sized strap across it held it to1 gether so that he nearly was masked. In August lie was admitted to the hospital. Bellevue had saved his life * thirty-five years before, and he went f there when taken ill with Bl ight's disease. ? In the hospital, fearful that other patients would see his face, he kept it mutlled " and became known to them as the "Man ' with the iron. mask."^He died yesterday. 1 ?New York Press. 1 A Word to Mothers, 1 Mothers of children affected with croup 5 or a severe cold need not hesitate to*ad; minister Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. * It contains no opiate nor narcotic in any I form and may be given as confidently to the babe as to an adult.

The natives were trying to drag it out of the way as a "whole when Senator Vest arrived on the scene, looked at the tree and at the helpless crowd of Arkansas natives, and then said: "Why ' don't you cut the tree in two at the * middle and haul the ends out of the ? way?"
