Death of a Voting Man
Oil Wednesday morning, thcidrd inst.,
at an early hour, Mr. J. C. 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. The life so suddenly terminated
k\as full of promise. Mr. Lard was 22

Telephone Exchange Sold.
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:

New Hotel.
Col. F. M. 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

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.

Legislative Doings.
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.

Barnwell, S. C., A. L. 51)01.?At a special
communication of Harmony Lodge, No.

committee was appointed to draft suitable
resolutious'on the death of our late

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. F. M., in regular communication
assembled, mourns deeply the loss of its
fervent, loyal brother and affectionate
friend.
Resolved further. 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

! 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. Addeu, one of * Orangeburg's I
largest and most progressive merchants,
and although the books of subscription j
have not yet been opened applications I
for stock for more than double the capital
have already jpecn made. ^ ^
