The best advice we can give the legislature is to do nothing and do it quickly. South Carolina is rather overburdened with legislation at present. As the legislature is soon to convene, the question of an appropriation to the Charleston exposition is again being agitated. The amount of the appropriation asked for is $50,000. Well, we suppose the legislature will thus foolishly spend the people's money, but we are sure the majority of the tax-payers are against any appropriation. We see no justice in taxing the people of Bamberg county to support a Charleston enterprise?one which will benefit that city alone. Several newspapers in the State are endorsing the idea of an appropriation by the State, and we can't help but wonder how much stock these fellows have taken in the enterprise. We are afraid that those who are so loud-mouthed in favor of thus spending the State's money have not contributed a nickle or haveany stock in company the. Items of interest from the Fitting School. I The holidays have come and gone but not without some profit to all of the students we trust. Christmas to the scholar means more than the laying aside of the text book and the restrictions of school government for a few days. It means the strengthening of the ties of filial love and devotion, it means the increasing of the tokens of parental devotion and sacrifice. Christmas away from . home has not half the meaning to the child-life as Christmas at home. Around the fireside in which the yule log burns with warmth and glow the children and the parent gather and renew the ties of love and devotion which no trials of coming years can undo. The holidays of the . yule tide have added to love of home and to the devotion to father and mother. They have also added to the glow of the cheek and the physical welfare. With all the rich provision of thoughtful parents for the home-coming of the absent son or daughter there could but be a happy use of that which was provided and a resulting profit to the body. The increased vital it}* of a physical nature will no doubt manifest itself now in deepened mental power. Every student now no doubt will take hold of the duties of school life with greater zeal for work and success. , About all of the old students are now back at their post of duty, as well as several new ones who have matriculated. The following are the new arrivals: * Misses Matilda and Annie Kennerly and Essie Furtick, and Messrs. Otis Jefcoat, .1 T> iwut. nuuiiui'i' uuu nausun none. There are several other new pupils who have made application for admission and , . will come in latqr. The reading table is now filled with a fine selection of magazines and periodi, cals. The new year numbers of these are especially attractive. All show a laudable desire to^ive the reading public the very best service during this new year of the new century. The bill of fare in any one of them is enough to tempt the appetite of any one to indulgence. What are you reading? What good book? What good magazine? Nothing? Surely these long evenings around the pleasant fire are not spent in idleness when good, pure literature offers so much inspiration to mind and spirit. Read something, read every day; feed the mind on the t>est. Mrs. Willis has not yet returned to the campus, but she is expected within the next ten days.

A Visit to Statesboro, Ga., the County Site and Eldorado of Bullock. [Special to The Herald.] Millen, Ga., January 6.?Statesboro eight years ago, when I first visited there, was a "little sleepy-looking town of per, haps five hundred souls?just such as Dickens depicts in "Old Curiosity Shop" . and Dr. Holland in "Arthur Bonnicastle"?now she is a wide-awake, busy little city with bricked pavements, two-story stores (entire glass fronts), water-works, two newspapers, two railroads, a wellequipped undertaking establishment, telephones, and three healthy churches. By this equivocal epithet, I mean the people of all the denominations arc financially and spiritually health)*. The court house is a fine sample of architecture; from its spire chimes the sweet tone bell of the town clock. I noticed many specialty houses, shoes, another only ten cents goods, others only groceries,"jewelry, and manv drv eoods houses. T found nnnfcii. ally good-looking and obliging clerks in the latter. As I turned to leave one of these stores, the clerk stepped with the grace of an Apollo to open the door for me. I remarked to my companion, "I would risk all my purse contains that young man was reared with culture." Some training will crop out even in the busy avenues of life. And how beautiful, how softening is its influence! I listened to an able sermon in the Methodist church while there, foundtVl 011 those tender words of John: "We know we have passed from death into life by our love for the brethren." I got in rather late and had to take a back seat, but oh! that sermon, will I ever forget it? Will I ever forget the glory, heaven-born, that shone in the face of the servant of God as he preached to us? Pathetically, beaufully, he held the thoroughfare of "life before our gaze and pointed to the two gates of eternity in the distance, to one of which we all were journeying. "Brethren," he said, in emotional tones, "are you leading any one to Heaven, do you "lift , any burdened soul that lies cast down in ' your path, or do you give him a kick as you hurry along? God is love, if a spark ] of that attribute burns m your breast today, }'ou will not seek your way alone, j but will give a brotherly hand "to your fellow men.'' I have digressed to give , this extract from that lovely sermon, the secular press is usually considered no 1 place for sermons, but I go into no enterprise I cannot speak a word for Christ. ; A long distance telephone connects Statesboro with several places of importance. One of the prominent lawyers there * was a Bamberg boy. Col. Tyler. His wife is a charming lady, a finished musician 1 and also a literary graduate. Perhaps 110 incident of my trip made 5 more impression on my mind than that of a wife returning from the burial of her huslwnd. Sitting opposite me, I saw her grief and 1 hastened to ask if comfort could be given. A wee infant cooed 011 her lap as she wept hot tears upon the < innocent face.

News from Olar. i Olar, January 4.?The heavy and con1 tinuous rains of the past few days have j kept most of our people in doors, although a few of the more energetic ones are following their usual avocations. Herein those whose occupations keep them indoors have an advantage over the farmers, doctors, etc. We really feel sorry for our poor country physicians, as we see them facing the elements in such weather, as they go on their daily rounds, ministering to the sick and suffering under their care. From all that we can learn the cotton acreage will be heavy, with a reduction in melons. Small grain has improved in appearance recently. The Christmas * holidays passed off quietly. Several "dinings," where turkey and "nogs" abounded, served to cheer the inner man of your scribe. With fair weather our farmers will begin preparations for the coming crop with their usual vim, push, and energy. We note that our merchants are preparing for a heavy spring trade. Mr. C. F. Rizer has gone to St. Louis for another car load of mules and horses. We are indeed glad to hear that Mrs. C. F. Rizer and Mr. Robt. Morris, both of whom have been seriously ill with pneumonia for several days, are improving ver\' nicelv, to the great relief of their friends. Mr. J\ H. Starr and family have returned from Augusta, where they have been spending the holidays. Miss I5cttie Malt news is at iiome again from a visit to her mother at Willistou. Dr. F. W.

We extend a hearty welcome to Mr. Charles Henry Hutto* and family, who have recently moved in town, Mr. Hutto has accepted* a position with Mr. C. F. Rizer. We are also pleased to note the return of Mr. J. Gordon Brabham to the home of his father. Mr. Brabham has been living in Barnwell for several months past.

Burnett and family are visiting friends and relatives at Hartzog. Miss Tine Chassereau is visiting friends in this community. We have just learned of the runaway marriage of Miss Madeline Black to Mr. Gary Morris. It came about in this way: Last Saturday evening Mr. Morris called on Miss Black, as he had done many times before. Mrs. Charity Steedly, the girl's aunt, with whom she lives, suspected that all was not right and promptly dismissed Mr. Morris from the house. He returned to his home near Ehrhardt and tells his trouble to his friend, Mr. John Till, whom lie gets to go over to Mrs. Steedly's and play the rogue's part. After waiting many hours they could find no way to escape. After awhile Mr. Till takes a walk, returned, and tells Mrs. Steed ly that her cows are out of the lot. This was quite enough. The old lady went in haste to repen her cows and no sooner than she had left the house than Mr. Till sees his chance and before Mrs. Steedly returned from penning her bcvine property Mr, Till, with the young lady, made good their escape. * They were soon joined by Mr. Morris. They proceeded to Ehrhardt and were married early Sunday morning, and now there is more than one sad heart in our community. C. A. P.

Samuel McKissick was suddenly aroused at five o'clock Sunday morning bv a loud and hasty rapping at the door. Thinking for a moment that something dreadful had haDDened. he ran to the window to see if hq could see any signs of fire, but "darkness there and nothing more." Then turning back, he commenced to get into some wearing apparel when a second report broke into the quietness of night, louder than before. Being doubly alarmed, the reverend doesn't wait to arrange his toilet further, but goes to meet the intruder, opens the door, and, to his surprise, finds a young gentleman and lady anxiously waiting,giving their names as 5lr. Gary Morris and Miss Madeline Black, who requested that he would lose no time in performing the ceremony of marriage. He at once complied with the request, and in a few minutes they were bound by the ties of wedlock. They went quietly to their buggy, and, with two hearts beating as one, disappeared in the moonlight.

We are glad to be able to give our readers a pen picture of Bamberg's latest muuwtncturcig enterprise this week, the < ?>?t? !! ?'i! mill. and we are gratified to think thai the mterpr?-. which in a large measure is due to our suggestion and exploitation, contains the true elements of success: ample capital, exccllent business management, careful supervision, ami skilled workmen. It has ijsBo.'OOO capital with the following officers: ('. W. Garris. president; G. Frank Bamberg, vice president: W. M. Brabham," general manager and treasurer*: G. Move 1 >ickin.-on. book keeper and secretary: all home men of sound businessprincplcs and unimpeachable integrity. Mr. S. Blackwelder, of Charlotte, N. an oil mill specialist, is superintendent, and Mr. K. S. Cauthcn. of Bamberg, a member of the I. A. of M.. assistant superintendent. Work was begun on the buildings last July, and the mill started running night and duly on January 1st. Mr. Blackwelder has charge of the day shift, and Mr. * i ic*. nni... l aiuueu lias nit* . nigiu sum. implans ami specifications were furnished by the well-known firm of D. A. Tompkins A Co., of Charlotte, N. C., and everything, both buildings and equipment, is strictly up-to-date. Power is furnished by a 100 h. p. Sioux-Corliss engine, from two Erie City return tubular boilers, which also furnish steam for cooking, and the dynamo engine, a 5x0 Racine automatic cut-olTcenter crank engine, driving an SO-light Edison dynamo. The seed are fed by hand into a gigantic sand and boll screen, which removes the seed and bolls, and then through spiral conveyors to three Carver linters, of 100 saws each, where the surplus lint is removed; then to the huller, built by the Livermore Foundry and Machine Co., and hulled. They are next carried to a separator, similar to the sand screen, where the hulls and meats arc separated, the hulls going to the hull house and the meats going to the crusher. The meats, after being crushed, are cooked and the oil pressed out under 1150 tons hydraulic pressure, in massive presses, built by the Still well-Biercc & SmithVailc Co. * The oil runs into a receiving tank, to allow the sediment to be gathered and repressed before the oil is pumped into the storage tanks, which have a capaoity of about 40,000 gallons. The cakes are allowed to cool and harden, after which they are broken and ground into meal. So perfect is the system of conveying the seed in the various stages of manufacture that seed can be put into the sand screen and in 45 minute? the lint is in the lint house, the hulls are in the hull house, the oil in the receiving tank, anil the cakes art in the meal room. The building is equipped with Grinnell automatic sprinklers, getting water from a (5,000 gallons tapk on a 40 foot steel Caldwell tower. The tank on the tower is supplied from the boiler feed water reservoir, made of concrete, and having a capacity of about 11,000 gallons. The company gives employment to about twenty hands, at good wages, most of which will be spent here. If good wishes will insure success, then this laudable enterprise is already successful, though there is no reasonable grounds for doubts of its succeeding. May it prosper. Denmark Doings. Denmark, January 8.?The State dispensary has grown in volume until it now bears the distinction of being the greatest bottling works in the world. Your correspondent does not wish to write about such a huge enterprise, because it is already thoroughly understood by the most of the reading people of this State. Successive reports sent out by the Dispensary Commissioner for the past six years show that little Denmark has dispensed to her beloved citizens during this period about $50,000 worth of rum. I regret to make further comparisons, but these citizens have only spent for the education of their children during the same period something less than $10,000. If it were jmssible to reverse these two expenditures, what a change would take place in the affairs of men. This place holds a remarkable history nevertheless in educational progress. What worries and perplexes your correspondent, is the thought that this community expends live times more money for rum than for the education of its boys and girls. I protest, not that I expect these balances to be changed, but rather that the school children of this special district may more intelligently appreciate the demands of this educational. progressive century, and too, that they may have the privilege of weighing the efforts of their fathers in their behalf in the matter of expended dollars. The Denmark Times is no more. The Editor and his family have removed to the county seat, aud have ere this begun a test of the gratefulness of a new people. A new paper has been christened which bears the name of "Bamberg County Times." We are glad the new series still clings to at least one word of the old name. How the "Times" do change! The editorial of this first issue contained a sweet farewell to old Denmark and endeared friends. We were thinking of writing a paragraph about the prodigal son, but before we have barely begun, the gates have been closed. A young Aiken lawyer is to open up a printing business here in the near future, and possibly "The Times" will again change. It is sad to say farewelll to the good and tried. We will not do it. Kind friend and former ' Editor, when your olficial term of office expires two years hence, we invite you to return to j'our deserted cottage and again make merry the now lonesome Bone street Senator S. G. Mayfield left yesterday i for Columbia, where he will be engaged for a month or more in Senatorial work.

This verdict, however, did not prove to be satisfactory and a warrant was issued for the arrest*of P. L. Langford, the accused murderer.

The contracting parties were Miss" Hattie Guess, the accomplished daughter of Mr. E. B. Guess, a successful farmer of this section, and Mr. Frank McMillan, a prosperous young business man, of Cope, Orangeburg county. The church was beautifully decorated with evergreens, hot house plants and artificial flowers. With the front panel of the chancel forming one side of a hollow square an upright pole was placed at each corner. Garlands were attached to the top of the poles, and at the point of their intersection hung a large ornamental "good-luck" horseshoe, covered with snow white tissue paper and trimmed with evergreen and Christmas berries. The interior of the chancel was a bower of evergreen and pot plants artistically arranged. At the sound of the "Wedding March," most excellently rendered by^irs. W. F. CailifT, the six accompanying couples entered the church. The bride, on the arm of her betrothed, stopped under the attractive horseshoe, while the Rev. John G. Beekwith made them man and wife. The exit was partly the reverse of the entrance, the smiling bride and groom leading the way, followed by the following attendants: Miss Marv II. McMillan, of Orangeburg, with Mr. Ryerdon Guess; Miss Ethel Rice, with Mr. Edgar Culler; Miss Carrie Salley, with Mr. Jennings Cleckley; Miss Delia Cleckley, with Mr. Joseph Traywick; Miss Kathleen Culler, with Mr. Fischer Cleckley, and Miss Margaret Rosborough, with Mr. Henry Bamberg. Tim 'l-ichorc worn* Rnht .Tf?n nings, Herbert Cope, Waiter M. Dunlap, and Wade II. Fanst. The wedding party accompanied the popular bride and groom to the home of the bride's father, where a veritable feast was enjoyed by all. The presents were numerous and handsome. Mr. McMillan and his charming wife will make Cope, Orangeburg county, their home for the present. A Deep Mystery. It is a mystery Nvhy women endure' backache, headache, nervousness, sleeplessness. melancholy, fainting and dizzy spells when thousands have proved that Electric Bitters will quickly cure such troubles. "I sulTered for years with kidney troubles." writes Mrs. Phebc Cherely, of Peterson, la., "and a lame hack pained me so I could not dress myself, but Electric Bitters wholly cured me, and, although 73 years old, I now am able to do all my housework." It overcomes constipation, improves appetite, gives perfect health. Only 50 cents at Dr. J. B. Black and Titos Black. The preliminary at the court house Saturday, in the case of P. L. Langford, the accused murderer of Agnew Folder, was the centre of attraction. The court room was full nearly all day, ,nnd lots of interest was made manifest by the spectators. Messrs. Wolfe & Connor represented the State, while I). H. Behre and J. A. Hiers were for the defence. After the testimony had all been taken, and* a few strong points of law explained, the Judge decided iu favor of the defendant, P. L. Langford.?Dorchester Eagle.

Bronglit to Reason. He was out walking with a young lady who had a decided antipathy to cigarettes; jqt not being aware of the prejudice he ighted one of the litt^ rolls and began smoking with great tflsto, inhaling the 'umcs deep into his lungs and then blowng great rings up at the moon, which ;azed tranquilly down at his folly, says he Memphis Scimitar. Offended by his presumption, she said ! with dangerous urbanity: "Do you know I can read fortunes iu 1 igarette smoke?" "Indeed!" exclaimed the unsuspecting ' 'outli; "perhaps you'll condescend to read M * I tune. "Oh, certainly, if you wish it." Then she gazed up in the air at the lelicate blue wreaths of smoke. She j lesitated, evidently puzzled about some- . hing. "I am undecided which of two things ? to befall you," she admitted, "your " ortunc is not so easily rcail as I fancied 1 t would he." "What are the two things? " "Why, I can't decide whether you are larked out for lung disease or lunacy," ras the answer. "Cigarettes have such i verse effects on people of your temperalent."
