He will take charge of the auditor's office some time about the first of the year. This means that the people of Denmark will then lie without a newspaper, but not for long we guess, as some enterprising man will no doubt rstart a paper there shortly. That town - ought to U* a good field for a printing ;ft office. ^ When you want a vehicle of any kind, get G. Frank Bamberg's prices befrtre buying. He can save you money.

We have carried some over by request, upon . a promise to pay, and this isto give those notice that unless the money is forthcoming in a short time, The Hkkai.d will cease its visits to them. We want no dead-heads on our list, and we don't i want to force the paper on anybody. If you don't want the paper, why just pay what you owe and stop it. In this connection we want to thank the many who have paid us. We believe our list will show as many paid-up subscribers as that of any weekly in the State, for which we are profoundly grateful to the good people of Bamberg county. We intend to mail statements in a few days to those owing, and this is the last call. "No pay, no paper," and if they don't pay, off they go. V\ The population of Bamberg is steadily increasing.

Ixraded School Notes. q There has been placed in the Bamberg Jraded School recently some very tine ipparatus for teaching mathematics. It v s a common complaint by school patrons v :enerallv that this important branch is lot taught as practically as it should be n our common schools. Those importmt principles which enter largely into o >verv day business should be the most I mportant. The aim of the teacher should >e to impart this practical instruction, ^ lot in the form of blind rules, which are 1 :oon forgotten, but by teaching the underying principles upon which each rule is " iased, giving the reason why for every * dep. * * To illustrate denominate numbers and ' :o make teaching of them easy, natural ^ ind effective, Mr. Calhoun has purchased for the school a cabinet containing the ' following: One set of scales of good . >ize, with all the weights up to 2 lbs.; 1 live wooden measures, from quart up to half bushel; six tin pieces, from gill up * to gallon; a clock dial, with movable pointers, with which the youngest pupil will be taught to tell the time of day for 1 himself; an inch, foot, and yard rule; a block of 144 square inches, and a cubical block of 1,728 cubic inches; also United States coins, represented t>y pieces 01 1 cardboanl of regular size. 1 Besides these are blocks to illustrate * the area of triangle, parallelogram, circle, 5 etc.; surface and volume of cone, cylin- J der, pyramid, frustrums, etc. Num- 1 erous blocks to illustate geometrical ligures. 1 The pupils will weigh articles, measure ] corn with the wooden measures and water with the tin, thus seeing the differ- 1 ence between dry and liquid measure, i The older pupils, by handling the various surfaces and solids about which they are ; studying, obtain correct ideas of their forms and relactions, and the mental picture will be retained. Two very line globes were also bought. The teachers are decorating the walls of their rooms with pictures. They have on hand some large pictures of our presidents and generals, which they wish to frame for the school. The school needs a library, and they are going to have it, too. Tite Cotton Market.

Grore's signature is on each box. 2oc. 4 Fitting School Items. Tin1 teachers and students are contributing a fund to establish a reading table. We expect to purchase many of the leading magazines and periodicals for this tai)le. Two years ago the school contributed funds for such a purpose and found the table a benefit. It gives each contributor access to a large number of select magazines for a mere pittance in ' cost. There were several outside of the school who contributed one dollar each 1 ? ^ ..? ti?. IK.? t)llJ , and nau me jun w* t??v w* table. The same will be granted to any ! who may wish to join our reading club, j The order will be given soon for the ' literature for the table and will include i the following with some others: The J Review of Reviews, The Forum, The Ladies' Home Journal, Harpei's Round J Table, and Harper's Illustrated Weekly. ' This list includes some of the choicest monthlies published. On this fund the < Senior Class has made the largest contri- 1 hutinn of any class so far made to this I fund. They contributed as a class five 1 dollars. The reading habit is one of the best the school can develop in the pupil. It 5 is as natural for every mind to seek ' knowledge, as for the body to desire food. But knowledge must be in an accessible form. No child with a natural appetite would relish food in a raw or unprepared <tate; but when nicely prepared so as to t levelop the finest qualities of the food :he appetite is tempted and the child ? relishes the food. So the mind must 1 lave that which tempts it, that which is j ligestible to it and upon this it will feast md find nourishment. There is no ex use for developing a vitiated appetite or j aste in the pupil. There is a great deal j >f good literature in cheap forms so that ( he expense of providing the good is as small as for providing the meanest. t To satisfy and cultivate this natural ^ lesire of the mind for knowledge is the : >bjeet of the school. If the school fails o do this it fails in an important part of ^ - ?!?: *" A nrrout lirwklr IS 1U1SMOI1 l?> me eutiu. 4L ^ivu> wV>. j >r a great piece of literature may change he whole current of the life. It may a ;erve to arouse the latent powers of the c ioul as nothing else .could do and thus simulates the life of the individual to j( he highest endeavor. Such has been the 0 iistory of many a life. If the reading labit has not been developed in the child t ma}' never be formed and the child will niss the influence which comes from this" ource. "The school course docs little nore than to prepare its pupils for study. iv nd for acquiring knowledge. If then j, his acquiring ceases with the school a curse there is not much possibility for ^ he future growth of the mental life of tj he child. p The Carlisle Fitting School looks well j o the interest of the pupil in the read- 'j ng course as well as in its course of Sl tudy. A course in reading is assigned j i) the pupil each month and he is re- p [uired to give proof, either by oral or 7 iritten examination that he has read the f( ooks required. () Mrs. \V. E.

We clip the following, in reference to < ur schools from the Carolina Teachers' ournal, edited by Mr. J. Frank Fooshe, ^ -ho formerly taiight here: "Bamberg is coming to its senses in ducational matters. Eight years ago c enerous citizens of the town "built and p quipped the Carlisle Fitting School, C hick became a preparatory department ^ jr Wofford College. A primary depart- tl lent was established in connection with V and the tendency of the school was to a' ripple public school education in the n: >wn. Other parties took hold of the g ublic school and connected with it a b rivate boarding department. Between t( ic two schools was anything else than a ealthy competition. "Things, however, tl re no*w normal. The private school has H ropped its primary classes, and the pub- tl c school has discontinued its boarding A atronage. The result is the towu uow >v as a high class boarding school, support- B d almost wholly by students away from ome, and filled to its utmost capacity, tl nd a flourishing public school, backed * y the whole community with a special C ?vy. But one thing is still lacking, and bat is a good school building. No other ti lace in the State of the size of the Lrtesian City, or one-half the size, as for bat matter, has a shabbier building. It ti ehooves this progressive little town to ft emove this stain upon its progress, and re are glad to report that already steps ^ o this end are being taken. Principal b !. K. Calhoun is in high favor. His asistants are: Miss Pet Stephens, Mrs. a lurdaugh. Miss Lillier Stevens, all of I rhom were with liim last year, and Miss a, lertka Wells, who has been added on t< ccount of the crowded condition of the tl I'hools. An increase of $5.00 in each n eaeher's salary is worthy of note. The m caching corps of the Carlisle Fitting g ichool is a strong one: Head Master, P V. E. Willis (Mathematics); Mr. F. Eldon h )ibble (Latin and Greek); Mr. N. M. Sal- t1 ev (English); and Miss Florrie Black Music)." b C: Ehrhardt Happenings. Banna Westbury, of the 8th grade, is a [Uite ill.

I The county board of control held its egular monthly meeting the tirst Moulay, the 5th instant, Messrs. Perry and May ton being present. Mr. Jones was ibsent in St. Louis. They received the reports of dispensers for the month, which were as follows: Bamberg?Sales, $2,604.30; invoice price, $1,903.95; gross profit, $700.35; expenses $122.61; net profit, $577.73. Denmark-?Sales, $1,095.07; invoice t..V/\ f\ A/I price, $MU4. u ; gross prom, ^zuu.uu; expenses, $70.00; net profit, $314.0(1. Olar?Sales, $79:135; invoice price, $563.90; gross prolit, $329.35 ; expenses, $55.77; net prolit, $173.58. Ehrhardt?Sales, $790715; invoice price, $569.15; gross prolit, $331.20; expenses, $65.98; net profit $155.22. The board then went into an election for dispensers. The only change made was at Bamberg, where Capt. Geo. P. Bamberg was elected to succeed Mr. J. D. Felder. It is estimated that pork will cost 4 to 5 pents a pound when made entirely from the crib. But an ordinary farmer may raise two pigs for every horse he works and the cost will be reduced to about two cents a pound, and most of that will be in labor preparing a pasture and planting sorghum, potatoes and peanuts. An acre in some of the prolific potatoes and pinders will feed a dozen hogs for two months, with the addition of slops and waste corn, neither of which is marketable. The Election. The boards of canvassers for Federal and State elections met in this city Tuesday to count the ballots cast on the (Jth instant. For presidential electors there were 829 votes cast in the county, of which the Democrats received 792 and the Republican ticket 3G. For congress Talbert received 789 votes, while Odom (Republican) received only 22. The total vote for the State and county ticket was TGI. This was the highest number of votes polled for any office. Some tickets were scratched. The vote for amendments to State constitution was as follows : The amendment relating to indebtedness of towns and cities received 397 yes. to 99 no. The drainage imendmendment was no 478, yes 122. So Bamberg county voted against this intendment. Bamberg county polled three-fourths M her voting strength in this election, which is better than any county we have vet heard from. The total vote polled at the August primary was about 1,200, and it the general election 800 votes are cast. There should have been a larger vote, dill we Bamberg folks are doing better than our neighbors. Happenings in the Country. Killing frost came Friday night last, which was the first we have seen this season. After several weeks stay at Fort Motte, Hiss Nannie Gillam has returned home.

He is a man of ? le measure of Bismarck as a statesman. Tith but one exception, he stands head nd shoulders above any of his countrvlen.

"You want to know truly their condion ?" ( "Yes, I want to know truly." ^ "Well, they are in a much better condion than China. They are more power- 1 ll, cleaner, and more enlightened." I It is said that the Empress Dowager as not well pleased to hear the truth, j ut her lips remained sealed. A few months ago Sir Claude MacDon- ' Id, the British minister, suspected that ,i Hung Chang was favoring Russia j gainst Great Britain, and he managed , j have Li Hung Chang removed from tie T8ung-li-Yamen. This was the worst 10ve he could have made. In a few S reeks the old statesman managed to inratiate himself into favor with the Emress Dowager in such a way as to secure is own appointment as Viceroy of the I ivo Kwangs. . * He is one of the kind of whom it may e said: "You may put me out, but you aunot put me down." Li Hung Chang is as great a statesman * s Bismarck, as great a warrior as Grant, s great a politician as Piatt, and as great business man as Rockefeller. A large art of his wealth lies in pawnshops. He ) i probably the greatest pawnshop owner i the world. ^ S Johnson Acquitted. Barnwell, Nov. 10.?In the case of ae State against D. P.
