A mistake crept into the notice of the ^
death of Miss Reba O'Neal in this paper E
>^1. last week. The article read: "It will y
survive the wreck of weather," when it F
should have been : "It will survive the 1
wreck of matter." The error completely
destroved the meaning of the sentence
quoted. t

was soon adjusted.

We understand that Brother R. W. D.
Rowell, editor of the Denmark Times
and county auditor-elect, is prospecting
around for a dwelling house and office,preparatory
to. moving his family and newspaper
to Bamberg. 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.
There are only a few of our subscribers
who have not paid for their paper. 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.

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.

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

>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. ()

Bamberg's Schools.
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

Dispensary Reports. 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.

1 Ilnng ChangGreatest Pawnbroker. 4
Among the great leaders that may be ^
lassed as of the Liberal (though not '
roperly the Reform party) is the only 3
hinaman whose reputation is world- 3
ide?Li Hung Chang. 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.
He is thoroughly Chinese in his
eneral convcrsatism, in his conceit, in j
is duplicity, and in the way silver sticks
> his palm. 1
He knows China's weakness. He knows 1
le strength of foreign governments,
[is shrewdness is more than a match for x
lat of all with whom he comes in contact,
iter his return from his trip around the *
* ' * - - !a1. *1.? I
oriu, 111 itll UUU It'll L'U Willi I 111- ?iI11]I1US9 x
owager, slie asked: o
"Tell me truly, now, what you think of
lese foreign barbarian countries through
hich you have passed, as compared with .
hina."
"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.

Johnson Acquitted.
Barnwell, Nov. 10.?In the case of
ae State against D. P. Johnson for the
illing of Rivers Carroll, which occurred I
ome time ago and was continued from
ist court on account of a mistrial, the
ury arrived at a verdict of not guilty
fter two hours deliberation. " 1
The case excited considerable interest
n both sides, both parties being promi- ?.
ent, and last night, when the verdict
;as read, the demonstration was remarkblv
controlled. *
'fhe arguments were unusually brillant
and no stone was left unturned. ]
loth sides put up a good tight but the
vid&nce and generalship prevailed. (
