The causeway at the low place just back of Mr. C. B. Five's is being! built higher and wider, and the few bad ! places in the road are being built higher' also. When finished this highway will i really be in first-class condition, over j which it will be a pleasure to drive. Mr. J. II.

Mr. Hadwin's term of enlistment does not expire for a year yet, and he expects to remain on the isiands for some time to come. i " Our sympathies go out to Bro. Clarence L. Brown, of the Barnwell Sentinel, in his loss by tire, which occurred last Sunclay night. His plant has been entirely j destroyed, but with his characteristic pluck and energy, he will soon be issuing The Sentinel again. His paper is the oldest in this section of the State, and the liles for the last fifty years were burned. Mr. J. II. Drummond. Supervisor of Laurens County, and Mr. 1). II.

Brabham, president of the Bamberg Banking Company. Ilenry's many friends here will be delighted to know of the high stand he is taking. Attempted Robbery. Last Friday night between eleven and j twelve o'clock some bold thief attempted to enter the store of Mr. A. Kirscli, next to Tiik Herald office, and would no doubt have succeeded in getting away with some loot had Mr. J. P. Murphy 1 not been up stairs in the same building. The woukl-be burglar broke one of the < large panes of glass in the front window, but the noise of breaking and falling ' glass was heard by Mr. Murphy up stairs j who ran to the window and hailed the ( fellow, hut he mounted a bicycle and 1 rode swiftly away. He did not have ' Lime to get inside before being surprised j by Mr. Murphy. 1 In Honor of 31iss Earle. The following was published in yesmnlnv's Snurtnnburir Journal: "Miss Nan Earle was the guest of , lion or at a lovely function given by her dster, Mrs. T. Sloan Crawford, Tuesday 1 morning. About thirty ladies were 1 present, and an interesting feature was * the illustrating of familiar songs. On | ;ards were written the names of popular . <ongs that each guest was expected to J portray with pencil and paper. The < irawings were then arranged so that much merriment was elicited from the t guessing that followed, and it goes with- t >ut saying that it took some clever women to unravel many of these won- * lerful pictures. After the guessing a J lelicious luncheon was served, conclud- * ng an occasion made delightful by an ilwavs thoughtful and gracious hostess." t Miss Earle, in whose honor the func- > :ion was given, is a favorite in society f liere and also in Spartanburg where she t >ften visits. She is an accomplished 1 md attractive young lady.?Greenville 1 News, Saturday, March 9tli. t Mrs. Crawford will be pleasantly re- j ucmbcred by many people in Bamberg, 1 is she visited her sister, Mrs. Hayne ] F.

I The first business transacted was the i election of Mr. J. ~\Y. Free as clerk of the ] ward, which election will give general j satisfaction. Mr. Free has mode a most t competent official, and the board showed 1 ts appreciation of his past services by re- 1 electing him. I vThe board agreed not to employ a ^ comity attorney at present,they deciding j hat they would elect a legal adviser * w henever it became necessary, but in j case of emergency the Supervisor was em- j >o\vcred to secure such legal advice as he t leemcd proper. It was decided to buy a carload of terra otta piping, and the Supervisor was j lutliorized to purchase same. $ Commissioner McGeiver asked public road from Denmark to tSalem, ..vhich was granted, providing the citizens j iay for opening, surveying, and con- ? learning the necessary land. It is to be * s ruilt to Hightower's mill this year, and | inished as soon as possible. I The application for a public road from Kearsc's mill to Olar was granted, pro- j riding the citizens pay for opening, sur- i reying, and condemning the land. i The Southern Bell Telephone and Tele- * rraph Company asked for permission to * put poles and wjrc along the public high- ? ivays of the county. This was granted, < lie following resolution being adopted: : Be it resolved by the board of count}* J commissioners for Bamberg county, that ' :hc Southern Bell Telephone and Tele- < jrapli Company, a corporation, be and is j liercby granted permission to set its poles j uid string its wires along the public i roads of Bamberg county, and also to 1 :rim trees standing in the right of way or P hanging over the roadway, to prevent i interference with the telephone wires; it < being understood that said poles must not j in any way interfere, with public travel j t hereon, or the in gress or egress of private \ property; it also being understood that < this grant is subject to and in accordance ' with the acts of the legislature in sueli < cases made and provided. ; Tliis line to be erected is from Denr ! mark to Orangeburg, and work on it will ; commence at once. j Bids for the county advertising were ] opened, but action 011 them deferred uu- ( til the next meeting. I)r. J. F. JBaggott was elected county physician for the ensuing two years. The board agreed to allow him fifty dollars per year for medicines furnished, this to be in addition to his salary. The board then adjourned to meet on Monday, April 1st, this being the day for the regular quarterly meeting. Alba Hey wood Coming. Alba Ileywood and his company* will appear at the Carlisle Fitting School in , Bamberg oil Saturday evening, March oOth. Mr. Ileywood will be pleasantly remembered by many of our people, as he gave such a delightful entertainment here last year. The company this year consists of .Mr. Ileywood. a eello sqlqist, a lady violinist, and a lady soprano, and is much stronger than last season. To tlmsi' who attended the entertainment last year?and nearly everybody in Bamberg did, the house being crowded?it is unnecessary to say anything in praise of this attraction. We regard the company as being one of the best on the road, and it is certainly far superior to anything that lias appeared in Bamberg since we j have been here. Seats will be on sale at Thus Black's store by W. I). Rhoad, and | reserved seats will be sold at 50c.

Mrs. Laura Dunbar and her brother, Mr. Wingard Furman, are among us again after a very pleasant visit to Barnwell and Colston. Mrs. Chas. Wise and her little son, Ralph, of Charleston, are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Joe Weimer. Ralph is very ill with pneumonia. Miss Mary Ehrhardt is in Atlanta buying millinery goods for spring. .Messrs. L. L. Cohen and S. 8. Solomons, of the firm of Solomons A* Co., Charleston, have made arrangements to visit Mr. J. C. Kinard next Tuesday for the purpose of spending a day or two in the woods with gun and dog. John R. Bellinger, Esq., and Mr. II. J. Brabham, of Bamberg, were in town this week. The March wind has been raising sand the last few days. A social gathering was entertained Wednesday evening by Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Copeland, in honor of their guests, Misses Bessie Carter, Josephine and Minnie Copeland. A large number of young folks were present and a very pleasant evening spent. Mr. J. I). Quattlebaum and family were the guests of Mr. Henry Folk, of Folk's Store, Sunday. Capt. J. M. Dannelly and wife left for Charleston Monday morning, where they will spend a few days. Little Miss Elizabeth Roberts, who was called to the bedside of her grandfather, ; Dr. R. C. Roberts, of Allendale, spent a [lav with friends in Ehrhardt this week. . A wild cat hunt was much enjoyed last Tuesday morning by a party of ladies and gentlemen. There were about < fifteen hounds in the chase, but on ac- '> onnt of a heave rain the trail was soon iestroyed. Wife! cats seem to be plentiful a few miles east of here. The hunt will be tried again in a few days. Ge Col. Denmark Doings. Denmark, March 13.?During the past week this community has been very quiet t tnd peaceable. Gossipers, slanderers, j iars, loafers and thieves must have the 'grippe," as their favorite haunts seem to ;e deserted. The bread makers are busy. Sirds have begun to sing sweet spring airols and trees have begun to bloom. ] The smell of fertilizers still monopolizes ? he breezes that sweep through railroad horougkfares, whistling to the tune 'Dixie" more cotton anil less corn. Ye ( aimers! "Why will you listen to the aujury of the winds'? Is it the voice of a ;iren'? Mr. Editor, the big and the little are rery busy this season. Those accustomed 1 rictims of drink are seldom seen on the i Greets. Even the school boys have more . o do. The limit of their ambition just low is "bat and ball, fuss and quarrel." '' Sooks haunt them. Recess intoxicates i hem, and when deprived of the pleasures \ pf this period it is so strange to see thera r >egin to swell like toads and the lips to ival in beauty and shape the famous ' Macbeth. Of course the teachers use 'toadism" also or else the scenes of ( school life would become so very merry ind funny. Just three more months and * he school will close its doors for happy * racation. Many bright boys and girls go 1 o this school. Many good ones and \ nany bad ones share the pleasures of , greater and lesser companionship. All J n ail, this school is remarkable in all i particulars, because all types of South Carolina youth are represented. There- j ore, it is a typical South Carolina school. Fhe progress made bv these types of ( n,nt trirllmAil itnrimr flip y>n?t ( svtiivirvt ^5, , . rear lias been truly wonderful. The eforts of varied brain capacities have , irought to the teacher waves of revelaious, which paint the beautiful pictures ( >f accomplished manhood and pure wo- t nanhood. It is such a pleasure to expe ieuce the seasons of childhood's devel>pmcnt. The growth of character is like i rainbow. A teacher's heart throbs ,vith joy as he sees this powerful element juiding the principles of a child. This <. jranch of study, taught without the aid ( >f a text-book, is the most important deal that emanates from the school oorn. Blessed is that teacher, who takes f are of the moral integrity of his pupils! i Young men of to-day are answering the all. "Wanted, a young man of force, energy and purpose." Thousands get ^ lositions to do just one thing, but the ipecialists are out of employment; hun- i I reds of thousands are in the biting jaws >f idleness. Everywhere business men s ire, making inquiry for a servant, a polite 1 ind etlicicnt clerk, an honest cashier, a jood stenographer who can parse a sim- e de sentence, spell and punctuate with c iome degree of correctness. The great k nisiness houses tell us that it is impossi>ie to find efficient help for any depart- r ment. There are scores of applicants for j ^^Tvacant place, trained, too by "ex>erts" in business colleges. It takea a >oy these days ten years to complete a s ommou school course. A business colege can make him a specialist, a professor in three, six or ten months. Your 2 orrespondent has in mind scholars in I ;ixth grade of public school who hayp entered business, colleges immediately ifter the completion of designated class aid receive from that famous institution i diploma within the limit of six months, rhose graduates have entered upon their ^ {Uickly acouired professions, but all of j hem have failed. ^They were book-keepers but not thinkers; masters of a system, list one, of tlienumoeness systems; iacK- ' ng in general education and even igno- ^ ant in the interpretation and usage of < simple Engligsh. No wonder tliey fail. . The head of one large business cstablishnent says that the blunders and mistakes 1 )[ its employees cost $25,000 a year to 1 ?orrept, notwithstanding his utmost vigiance. Our young men must learn the iesson at once that specialists are mas;erly equipped only when a general edu- 1 nation has been the basis of all aspira- < dons. Capt. J. E. Steadman has rented the . ;Hope House," recently purchased |>y ' Mr. J. G. H.

( Capt.'Jno. Black, Columbia, S. C., vis- ] ited his wife, the daughter of Mr. J. A. Walker, this we6k aud returned to Co* lumbia Saturday evening. His dwelling, which was recently burned, was partly insured. ! A large freight engine was derailed near the A. C. L. crossing yesterday evening, which under similar circumstances when in more rapid motion might have been a very serious catastrophe. Just as the engine was leaving the siding, the block was 1 thrown open and the engine and several cars rolled off on the ties. The engineer ' claims that the A. C. L. agent was to blame. as it was six minutes before the At lantic Coast Line traiu was ilue. The I agent, Mr. James, is a business young man and probably lias a plausible explanation tp make to higher officials. The engineer claims that his engine was within three feet of the bjock when it was opened find it was impossible to wqrk lus machinery in time to avoid the accident. J. Country Pots, Mr. M. C. Sandifer and family visited Mrs. L. E. Ilill Sunday. Mr. J. E. McMillan and sisters visited the family of Mr. J. \V. Hill last Saturday and Sunday. Little Hen Hill is quite sick.

Look at the pupils in the school f drunkenness: their bloated checks, aggering gait, who taint the very atKisphere in which they move, and yet. pplorable and odious as their condition , every one who drinks liquor is in linger of becoming just such a character, >r lie is playing with a viper that will >oncr or later inflict upon him a deadly omul; artd so well drugged with strvch-1 ine ami other poisons is the whiskey of lis day it will not take them long to rrive at the gulf of woe and shame that es before them. Intemperance, like her vin sister, death, is a greedy monster hose voracious appetite no number of ictims can satisfy. War, pestilence and imine have slain their millons, but they uly occur at long intervals, while daily id hourly the slaughtered victims of lis monster are falling into the drunkrd's grave. The asylums, the jails, the enitentiaries of America receive ninc;nths of their inmates from among the retched customers of the grogshop, and icrc are few, very few, of those who ivc ended their careers 011 the gallows I10 did not learn their tirst lesson from ic bottle. The moderate drinker is a % iipil in the school of drunkenness, and is teacher, the devil, knows well the art " drilling him through all the various ranches and grades until he is entirely raduated. When his graduation is comleled he then is ready for any work, 110 alter how dirty, his master may direct, e can break the heart of a dear fatlicr, usli the heart of a devoted mother, and is regard his loving sister, or violate any ,w. Every drink lie takes leads him rther on the road to ruin, and Oh, others, sisters, and fair ladies, upon hose innocent heads many of the woes id sorrows fall from intoxicating drink, )ur attention is called to the fact that nee the fall of Adam woman has had 1 irresistible influence over maw, and le has until now.
