Thursday, January 10* 1901.
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. Can any heart of man j <
that knows a crucified Savior witness' 1
grief and not sorrow too? j s

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

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.

Rev. 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.

Bamberg's Oil Mill.
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

Senator S. G. Mayfield left yesterday i
for Columbia, where he will be engaged
for a month or more in Senatorial work.
Mr. Mayfield has been carefully studying

to demand attention. None will be more

which pertain to the general improvement
of our educational system. The day is j
not far distant when the State will make ,
adequate direct appropriation for the :
maintenance of the public schools. (

Inqnestin Case of Agnew Felder.
The jury sitting on the case of Agnew
Felder, as announced last issue, assembled
at the court house Saturday morning, and
after hearing a few statements from Mr.
Langford and others, they proceeded in
secret session to decide on a verdict, and
after about an hour's deliberation, the
following verdict was rendered: "That
the said Agnew Felder came to his death
by gun or pistol shot in the hands of
party or parties unknown to the jury."
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 fact that the evidence
iu the case was so very plain, is
enough to justify the person in having
this warrant issued. This (Wednesday)
morning at 10 o'clock the preliminary
will take place, and likely it will prove
interesting.?Dorchester Eagle.

Last Thursday (-apt. Geo. P. Bamberg
took charge of the dispensary in this
city, having tiled his bond some time ago
and received his commission. He succeeds
Mr. J. I). Folder, who has held the

speaking of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
says; "I suffered with a severe cold
this winter which threatened to run into
pneumonia. I tried different remedies,

upset my stomach. A friend advised
me to try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and I found it was pleasant to take
and it relieved me at once. I am now
entirely recovered, saved a doctor's hill,

I W Jtilio IIKUJ > uvaubiiui v.u u tin ??vvidings
have been witnessed by the people
of this community, and each seemed to
have rivalled the others in beauty. The
first day of the year and the first day of
the new century has been none the less
remarkable for its nuptial history. 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.

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.
