Citron, seeded raisins, cleaned currants, dates, figs, butter, etc. W. G. Hoffman. Everybody should be careful how they put out fire in the woods. Serious damage may result in case of high winds. As Rev. T. C. O'Pcll is away at conference, it is probable that there will be no services at the Methodist church next Sunday. The farmers have had remarkably fine weather for sowing small grain. The planting of wheat should not longer be postponed. Owing to unavoidable delays the aimual settlement with our county officials has not been finished yet. Mr. Jones returned home last Saturday, but is expected back this week. So ridiculously small was the vote of the Republican bdom, of Edgefield, that lie has abandoned the idea of contesting Col. Talbert's seat in Congress. Dixon's grist mill is in fine shape, and grits and meal of a fine quality is turned out. They grind on Fridays and Saturdays, so bring your grinding on those days. i The wheat acreage in this county will probably double that of last year. In fact, heavy crops of oats, wheat, and rye have l>een planted by the farmers : generally. To-morrow (Thursday) is Thanksgiving , Day, and our merchants should all close , their stores and give their employes a ' holiday. Very few people will likely come to town anyway. i At the regular meeting of the lodge of Knights of Pythias last Monday night the i rank of Esquire, was conferred on Mr. Jacob Felder. He will be given the rank of Knight at the next meeting. The question of another bank for Den- 1 mark is being agitated, and the capital ' stock will be $50,000. In case it is organ- ( ized Mr. F. H.

The case against Mr. Willie Felder for the killiug of a Mr. Herndou at Walterbo ro some months ago was not tried at the session of court in Walterboro last week. The case was continued until the next tenn. Mr. Felder is out on bond, ind has been since shortly after the . killing. ^ The longdistance telephone offices at Denmark have recenty been eulargedand a new switchboard put in. This necessitated the employment of more operators and assistants,"made necessary by the great increase in the volume of business. The increase in business has been remarkable, and Manager J. R. Tindall should feel proud of the good work he has accomplished. * ; New Advertisements. QUATTLEBAUM & DAXKKLLY. Don't fail to read the page announcement of Quattlebaum & Daunclly, of Ehrhardt, in this issue. They describe at length the good points of .the "Old Virginia" buggy, and also tell you about their tremendous stock of wagons, harness, lap robes, whips, etc. Mr. Quattlebaum is now in the West buying stock, and they will have in fifty head next week. G. FRANK BAMBERG. G. Frank Bamberg has 70 head of stock and 100 buggies he is advertising for thie benefit of his customers. Kalamazoo Corset Co.?F. C. Corsets. Cases for Court. There are two cases which will no doubt be tried at court here * next week that will prove interesting to many .1 -5 211 -J /-?! /-*tr rJ c fn people, auu Will Ul?n tiwnuc ?v town. One of them is the case against Rev. W. E. Johnson for the killing of Win. T. Bellinger last May. The other is the case against the Messrs. Smoak, growing out of the difficulty at Midway the day of the primary election. The charge against these gentlemen, however, is only assault and batten' of a high and aggravated ' nature. All the parties wounded in the trouble have recovered. Fnrious Forest Fire, The high wind of last Sunday caused a serious forest fire to rage in a bay back of the residences of Messrs. N. Z. and J. M. Felder. The wind was blowing directly in the direction of their houses, but after hard work by our citizens the fire was confined to the bay. Shortly after dinner a tremendous volume of smoke was seen in that direction, and soon the news came that help was needed. Many of our citizens hurried out there, and after about two hours' hard work the fire was gotten under control. The smoke from the fire covered a large space, and the wind blowing it right into the face made it very uncomfortable for those at work. The only damage was a good deal oif fencingburned. The tire had been burning for some days, but it did not spread much until the high wind on Sunday. Cemetery Association Organized. A meeting was was held in the town hall last Wednesday evening to organize the South End Cemetery Company. A majority of the stockholders were present, and the election for officers, resulted as follows: H. J. Brabham, president; W. P. Riley, secretary and treasurer; H. J. Brabham, Havelock Eaves, W. P. Riley, C. W. Rentz, Aaron Rice, Jno. H. Cope, board of directors. The president with E. C. Hays and C. R. Brabham constitute the committee on grouuds. By-laws were also adopted at this meeting. The land has been paid for, and some preliminary work has already been done on the grounds. The work will go forward as rapidly as possible, and it will only be a matter of very short time before Bamberg has a lovely park and cemetery, thanks to the good work of Mr. H. J. Brabham and others. Transferred to the Wisconsin. Lieut. Thos. J. Senn, a graduate of the Naval Academy at Annapolis, formerly of Aiken connty, has recently been transferred to the new bull dog of the navy, the magnificent battleship Wisconsin, on board .of which he holds the rank of first lieutenant. Mr. Senn is a brother of Mrs. ; J. R. Tindall, of Denmark, and naturally his friends and relatives in this section feel a just pride in his promotion. He left New York a few days ago in charge of a detachment of marines, and will report for duty at the Mare Island navy yard at San Francisco, where tbl Wisr rpnsin is being fitted out. During the! Spanish-American war he was on duty blockading the port of Havana and patrolling^the coast of Cuba, and until recently has been in .command of the Uncas, doing service in Cuban waters. VV- '. " * "A" ...; Destructive Fire at Denmark. Last Saturday night our sister town o Denmark suffered a heavy loss by fire the entire plant of the Denmark Millim Company and the Southern Railway de pot l>eing burned. It is not known how the lire originated, and the flames hat gained considerable headway when dis covered. The lire started in the gii: house, ami spread from there to the depot. Both buildings with all their con tents are a total loss. The fire was discovered about 2 o'clockSunday morning, and it was at once seen that, with no facilities, there was no hope of saving either the buildings of the Milling Company or the dopot.so efforts were put forth to save the old A. C. L. depot, the bank, dispensary, Califfs stables, and other buildings in the vicinity. At one time it seemed as if the fire would spread and Manager Tindall had made all arrangements to save the switchboard in the long distance telephone office, which is located up-stairs in the Guess building. Happily the danger was averted, however. The "Western Union telegraph wires were burned, and the telephone line was also in danger. As soon as it was safe to do so, Mr. Tindall had his linemen to rig up a wire for the Western Union, thus illustrating that business courtesy which we should all practice but do not, although his company is a competitor of the Western Union. The plant of the Milling Company consisted of an up-to-date ginnery and flour mill, and the engines and all the machinery is a total wreck. There was stored in the building many barrels of flour as well as several hundred bushels of wheat. The loss on buildings, stock and machinery was partially covered by insurance, but the actual loss, aside from the insurance carried, will be about $3,700. The flour mill and ginnery will be rebuilt at once. Preparations for the work have already been begun, and the plant will be in operation again by the middle of January. Nothiug was saved from the depot, and this building and the cotton platform annexed were burned to the ground. The flames also destroyed the side tracks running by the depot. It is not known what the loss or insurance was on the depot, as the value of the goods stored could not be estimated and the insurance is in the shape of a blanket policy, covering all depots, this matter being attended to by the general offices of the company. Oapt. Guess lost three bales of cotton md Mr. Smith one, which were on the cotton platform. The railroad is at present using the old Coast Line depot, but we understand the}' will erect a new building at once. The Cotton Market. Cotton is selling here for 9| cents. Receipts of the week 150 bales. Second Week Jurors. Court convenes here next Monday, the 3rd instant, Judge R. C. Watts presiding. Last Friday the petit jurors for the second week were drawn, as follows: J. D. Copeland, Bamberg. P. W. Sandifer, Bamberg. T. S. Rice, Bamberg. J..W. Jennings, Bamberg. Ben Griffin, Farrell's Store.

Blackville, Nov. 21.?Burglars forced open the front door of tbe stoor of Mr. J. B. Gillam, Jr., at Lee's, three miles east of Blackville, last night, and robbed the safe of $30 belonging to Mr. Gillam, about $20 in cash and about $41 in postage stamps belonging to the postoffice, which is located in Mr. Gillam's store. The safe was blown to pieces by dynamite, the explosion of which wrecked Mr. Gillam's office and conntehts. The thieves carried off everything of value from the safe. They were not interrupted, and are evidently experienced men in the business. No one knew about the robbery until Mr. Gilliam went down to open his store this morning. It is reported that two men are being held at Fairfax as suspects, but cannot obtain any information at this writing as to their being implicated. A shifty, unknown negro transferred two bales of cotton from a lot belonging to Mr. P. W. Farrell to the other end ol the cotton platform, sold them to Messrs T>n.n.r, T>n^o* .tv Oa t A/^ Q XT n/iplrptwl thf liUlOb w vu.j VV/VIUJ 9 |/w*>.. receipts and was out of reach before the cotton was missed.

Death of Mr. J. (i. Karris. f Mr. J. G. Garris, a brother of Hon. ( . , W. Garris, ?lieil rather suddenly at the ? residence of his father at Smoaks last - Sunday morning, in the thirty-second * year of his age. He had been sick for 1 only 24 hours, and pneumonia was the - cause of his death. The burial took place i at the family burying ground at Smoaks last Tuesday morning, and the services were conducted by Rev. J. 1). Frierson. Mr. Garris was unmarried, and was an : exemplary young man. With wonderful i devotion he had stayed on the farm and 1 labored early and late for the education of his brothers and sisters. His sudden t death is peculiarly a sad one, and the be , reaved family have the sympathy 01 an. Saw Mill Burned. The saw mill of Hughes Bros., situated about five miles below town, was totally destroyed by fire last Sunday afternoon during the high wind. The fire caught froni the slab pile, and nothing could be saved. The mill is a total wreck, and the loss on buildings and machinery is considerable. About $20o worth of lumber on the yard was also burned. The loss falls heavily on the owners, and they have not yet decidedjKhethcr they will rebuild. This is the sec^l time this same mill has been burned. It was destroyed by fire about a year ago, being at that time the property of Mr. J. W. Hill. There was no insurance on the mill. News from Olar. Olar, Nov. 24.?Our little town still presents a busy scene, although the gathering of crops is nearly completed. Our hard working, energetic farmers are winding up the field work by boiling syrup and sowing the last of what will be the heaviest oat crop planted around here for years. The rise in cotton has not caused them to forget the food crops. They are far too level-headed for that. Cotton still pours in, and this point is liecoming quite a noted market for the tieeey staple. The sound of the hammer and saw goes merrily 011?several new buildings are going up. Mr. C. F. Rizcr is adding 120 feet to his already large store, besides an excellent set of sale stables and commodious warehouse for Imggies, wagons, etc. He has just received a lot of fine horses and mules, and several car loads of buggies, phaetons, wagons, etc. All Olar is proud of this prince of young merchants. Mr. P. H. Starr is running his.saw and planing mill on full time, and is turning out lots of as nice lumber as can be found anywhere. Messrs. B. A. Joyner & Co', are also quite busy with their shingle mill, and we are told that the wholesale lumber dealers to whom thejT ship prefer the product of their plant to any other in the State. They can certainly supply the purchasing public with as nice an article in their line as we have ever seen. Our schools are flourishing, being well taught and well attended. We regret to say that our physicians arc being kept busy, too. Local sportsmen arc in their glory now, as birds are plentiful and iack fishing in the Saltkehatchies is indeed a delight, this being the best season of the year for running the "bob."

Mrs. Bailey followed her husband, armed with a pistol. Mrs. Huct followed her husband 1 similar}' armed. When the party met both men raised guns, it is alleged, and Bailey shot first, killing Huet instantly.
