Lard, of the Olar section, breathed his last. This sad intelligence will be a great shock to the many friends who held deceased in such high esteem. He was a young man who possessed all those qualities and characteristics which constitute sterling manhood. He was a faithful, dutiful son and in affectionate brother, and to the grief stricken ones the deepest sympathy is exended. Pneumonia was the cause of leath.

Mr. Otis Brabham has sold out his telephone exchange in this city to the South Carolina Long Distance Telephone Company, and the transfer is effective from the first of January. This company is purchasing many exchanges all over the State, and it is their idea to connect the whole State by telephone. They have general offices and headquarters at Columbia. It is proposed to install a metallic system in Bamberg, and give us an up-to-date exchange and fine service. With first-class service many more'phones can be installed, and we hope the company will overhaul the system at once. Dispenser's Reports. The county board of control met Tuesday, but the only business transacted was the receiving of monthly reports of dispensers, which are as follows: Bamberg?Sales, $2,380.57: invoice price,! $1,754.07: gross profit, $(125.(JO; expenses, $121.05; net profit, $503.(55. 1'enniarK?sates, p4..ii; in voire priee, $782.80; gross pn)fit, $2(51.51; expenses, $79.82; net profit, $187.59.

Mixon, formerly of Barnwell, has leased the building known as j Wright's hotel in Columbia, and will run there a first-class hotel. The house j is now being renovated and repaired, j and he will be ready for guests by the t 15th instant or before. The house will be newly furnished throughout, and the hotel will be strictly a first-class one in every respect. He cordially invites his friends from this part of the State to stop with him. Odoui Will Contest Tulber's Seat. The announcement was made some weeks ago that J. F. Odom, who made the race against Col. W. J. Talbert in the last general election, would not institute a contest for a seat in Congress. This seemed strange, very strauge, indeed, for Congressional contestants are allowed two thousand dollars. The statement was premature. Odom will embrace the opportunity he doubtless sought. His contest means that he will better his worldly condition about fifteeen hundred dollars, after he has paid all expenses. That is all there is to it.?Barnwell Sentinel. Hou. Geo. 4>- Tilluian Dead. Hon. Geo. D. Tillman died at his home at Clark's Hill, Edgefield county, last Saturday morning after a long illness. His life had been despaired of for some time since, and his death was not unexpected. Deceased was born August 21st, 1826, and was 74 years old at the time of his death. The funeral services took place Sunday, and were attended by many prominent people. Mr. Tillman had been prominent in political affairs of this State, and served this district in congress for sixteen years. His death will bring sadness to many homes in Bamberg* county, for he was well-known and loved here. It was at Midway in 1876 that he met and dared Chamberlain, and his nerve and bravery on that occasion won for him the gratitude of the people of all this section. He was a true man, who possessed clear-cut ideas on all important problems, and he always maintained his opinions with ability.

The legislature has ratified the vote of the people in the last general election on the two constitutional amendments submitted. One pertains to drainage of swamp lands and the other to indebtedness of certain cities. The bill providing for marriage licenses was killed, as was also the bill increasing the salary of clerk to the State superintendent of education from $000 to $1,500. The senate has killed the bill providing that convicts sentenced for a term of ten years and under should serve their sentences on the county chain gangs, they taking the position that a man could not stand a sentence of ten years on the chain gang. This is the first time we have ever heard of the work on county chain gangs being too hard. The child labor bill has been killed. This was the bill regulating the working of children in cotton, factories. The house has passed a bill appropriating $20,000 for completing and furnishing the new dormitory at Winthrop College. Last year $35,i)00 was appropriated for this same building. The joint comiuitteo appointed by the house and senate to draft a scale of salaries to be paid the county officials in the State has reported by bill, and the salaries fixed for Bamberg county are as follows; Auditor, $600; treasurer, $000; sheriff, $600; clerk of court, $150; supervisor. $350; superintendent of education, $300; coroner, $300. It is not likely that our representatives will suffer this to become a law. In the first place there is on such office in this county as supcrintondenUof education, that office having been abolished by the act creating Bamberg county. Our scale of salaries now are as follows, and.some of these are entirely inadequate to the work: Auditor, $700; sheriff, $500; and $150 for jailor; clerk of court, $150; supervisor, $600; coroner, $100. The ** troosnriT ic nniJ ;i nprn*nt:icp nil his collections. The bill to lower the legal rate of interest to 7 percent, was killed. The bill providing for the sale of the State farms was continued until the next session. The senate has passed Mr. Henderson's bill providing that cotton mill stocks shall be treated as real estate and not personal property as at present. The anti free pass law remains on the statute books. Senator Stanland tried to have it repealed, but the senate voted down the proposition. The house has passed a bill appropriating $200,000 for pensions for Confederate soldiers. This is the best thing they have done yet. The county attorney bill was killed, as it ought to have been. The general committee on li^ghways has reported a general bill on the subject of road working. The number of work days required in this county is six, or in lieu thereof the payment of $1. <?

L. 51)01.?At a special communication of Harmony Lodge, No. 17, A. F. M., held on St. John's - Day, a committee was appointed to draft suitable resolutious'on the death of our late Brother, J. Wyatt Lancaster. In the performance of the duty of love the committee beg leave to submit the following for the consideration of the Craft as a sincere expression of their sorrow in their irreparable loss, and as a last tribute to our late brother, whose memory will always be fondly cherished: Whereas, our beloved Brother, J. Wyatt Lancaster, labored long, faithfully and zealously in perfecting his temporal superstructure, according to the glorious teachings and profound tenets of our honored and ancient institution; and whereas the Great Grand Master of the Spiritual Temple hath, with Ilis all-wise and all-seeing eye, recognized that Alasonjp wisdpm, charity and goodness predominated his character, and hath weL coined hie spirit Into the happiness of immortality; therefore be it Resolved, That" Harmony Lodge, No. 17, A.

That the Masonic faternity extends its sincere sympathy to the state, county, and "outside world" generally, thp loss of one who in troublous times showed a patriotism tliuf w;p beautiful; who in time of peace was a public-spirited citizen, whose counsel was often sought.

( We are having some pleasant weather . now, after some cold and heavy rains j > have fallen. Rev. ?Bradford preached an excellent ' ? sermon to a large congregation at Hunter's Chapel last Sunday.

Keap.se, Fob 1.?Wo have been having some had weather this week, but it didn't have much effect on the attendance of our school, which is progressing nicely 1 under the able management of Miss . Salome Wilson. We are glad to have Mr. and Mrs. John L. Lynes take up their abode in our community. but regret very much the departure of our esteemed friends, Mr. P. M. j Kearse and family, who will make Ulmer their place of residence this year. Although 'tis rather cold for flowers, from what we can learn orange blossoms will soon Ik* in full bloom. Mrs. George Fogle and children are spending a few days with Mr. H. J. Hitter. Judging from the many quiltings I around here, people would think cold I weather is yet to come. Misses Ella Grimes and Annie Hal ford, of Ulmer, are visiting relatives here. The home of Mr. W. K. Best is brigh11cned by the arrival of a bright baby boy. j Miss Bona Hitter, and her brother, j Willie, will leave Monday for Bamberg, l where they will attend the Fitting j School. ! Telephone Situation in Orangehnrg. j Op.axokr.rno, Feb. 2.?Citizens have I been more shaken up the past week over the local telephone situation than would Ik* the case if an ordinary municipal campaign were in progress. Some time ago city council by a divided majority passed a resolution that it was the sense of council that permission should not be granted for the establishment of any new telephone exchange in the city for a period of five years, provided the Bell Telephone Company connected the city with the long distance 'phone within fib davs and gave the city the free use of . four'phones for the saiil. period. This ' ? practically granted a monopoly to the t Bell people. Recently the South Carolina Lone: Distance Telephone Company has expressed a desire to establish a local exchange litre and a petition for council to rescind its former action has been numerously signed. A counter petition has also been in circulation ami both sides will make a stubborn fight at the next meeting of council. It is thought that as the Bell . people have not yet complied with" the conditions of the resolution of council, . and iu view of the decided sentiment against granting a mouoply to any enterprise, that council will rescind its resolution. A commission has l>een issued for the organization of the People's Bank, of this city, which is to have a capital stock of $30,000. This enterprise is headed by I Mr. F. A.
