The new road ac ross Lemon Swamp is one of the most important in the county, as it shortens the distance so many people living in the lower part of the county have to travel in coining to Bamberg.

' Miss Entile Cole, with the Alba Hey- 1 wood Company, is the kind of singer the j public delight to listen to and honor. Her voice is sweet and sympathetic to a . decree, her articulation as distinct as 1 though speaking, so that at 110 time does one lose a word of the storv. Miss Cole ; is a pupil of the celebrated Swedish singer, Mile. Linne. Her home is in London, but since coming to the States four years ago she has met with unqualified success. Her two years as under study in the "Bostonian Opera Company" has thoroughly schooled her in the art of ballad singing, until there are few that can equal her. These qualifications, combined with her personal charms and ; beauty, bring to haj^the highest artistic . success. Miss Cole will be heard hereon the evening of March oOth with the Alba Hey wood company. Happenings 111 the Country.

J. 1 Gilford's Bridge J5ree?es, On Saturday, the 16th instant, a freight train on the Seaboard Air Line, between Roby switch and Saltkeliatchie swamp, was wrecked. There was some heavy machinery in a car that caused the trouble. Two boxes, one oil tank, and one coal flat were totally wrecked; three baggage and express cars were derailed. There were several holes knocked in the oil tank, which contained cotton seed oil, and the contents, 4.630 gallons, ran out in the ditch. It ran for 100 feet or more and was from six inches to two feet in the ditches. The companj'did not object to any one getting as much as they wanted. It was carried oil in cans, buckets, and barrels all day Sunday. There is oil enough in the neighborhood and to spare just now. The tracks were cleared and trains passed Sunday. Mr. Geo.

Ulmer, March is.?If some of our citizens would put up some nice houses we're sure they could rent them to nice people. A paint brush would do wonders here. Our little town was livened up the past ! few days by the telephone boys. They are putting some more wires on the long distance line. We were sorry to see them leave this morning. The Seaboard Air Line railroad had a bad accident three miles above here Saturday. One of the freight ears ran off the track, completely tearing up the track for three-quarters of a mile and ruining about six ears. No one was hurt. They had it passable by Sunday morning.

Editor The Bamuerc Herald:?In your last week's paper was an article from Clod Hopper on whiskey and pistols and the ones that drink it. Now I want to ask Mr. Clod Hopper a few questions. I wish to ask if our friend never took a drink of whiskey. He don't leave no gap to get out; he puts in every man that takes one drink, just one little drink. Now I know that whiskey is indirectly responsible for many crimes committed in our fair land, but I cannot agree with Clod Hopper when he says that every man that takes a drink is on the road to destruction, or that whiskey is responsible for all the crime that is committed. Now I want to call your attention to one instance. Here at Howell's old mill a few days ago three men seemed to be very hungry after fish; came down there and asked the miller about l.A nnlifolir tllOm tllflt. lip ll'lll lift LldlJ, UC pVllVViJ VMVM. V..V.V ..V fish, but they insisted that he must get them some fish, and again the old darkertold them that it was impossible to get them any fish. "With this denial to furnish them fish they all three went to beating the helpless old darkey and beat , him unmercifully. Not being satisfied with beating him with their fists they took their pistols and beat their victim, knocking out four or five of his teeth. , Now, Mr. Editor and Mr. Clod Hopper, , these men were sober; they had no whis- , key, and yet they would have overpow- ( ered and taken the life of an inoffensive ( ind harmless old darker-. We have this , much to say, however, that we hope the way of the transgressor in this case will be hard. C. A. P. Honey Ford News. Mrs. Sallie Sandifer had some good and bad luck Saturday night. A mink killed seven of her nicest chickens and she killed the mink, and I guess she had a chicken pic Sunday. We are glad to say that Spring Branch is improving little by little.

Hartzog, March IS?On the 10th instant our beloved sister, Mrs. Mary Smoak, died at her home, and her remains were taken to Hunter's Chapel Sunday afternoon for burial. She was a steadfast friend and a loving mother, and as she lived so she died: armed in strong faith in the son of God. She was a member of the Hunter's Chapel Baptist church. A precious one from us is gone; a voice we loved is stilled; a vacant place is in our church, which never can be filled. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved ones. A Member. Branchville Bnilget.

We were srieved to learn of the dpath of Mrs. Mary Smpak, whjcli sail event tpftk plaep jast Saturday. She had been sick for some time. The cold wave which came last Friday was unexpected, but we can only say like the old darkey: "Dere's tings ahead dat people neber did study 'bout." Denmark Doings. Dknmakk, March 1 !>.?Tht* approaching Charleston Exposition will oiler to the school children of South Carolina a tine opportunity of studying the history, geography, resources and commercial progress of the South, the North and possibly parts of the world. Therefore, every hoy and girl should begin to plan and save up money that they may be doubly sure of enjoying the pleasure and profit of this trip. The World's Fair was a season of awakening to the American people. It was the next best thing to a trip abroad, for it brought something representative of every country on the globe together in one place. i ttiliiri'imlil fiirin <iitiii? iilea of them. Every nation of the globe, in one sense of the term, was transported to V our land,and the crude ideas of our vivid ^ imaginations hurst forth at once into a deep reality. What we expected to see is not a comparative thought to what we did see. A visitor to the World's Fair realized what a means of education it was to him. The Charleston Exposition will not he a World's Fair, but it will he a revelation to the masses of people as y well as to the thousands of school children throughout the State. No doubt the daily papers will herald to the people the many things to he seen there, but the human mind cannot picture all that centuries have been slowly accumulating and perfecting with any more degree of accuracy than the reality of a foreign city is described through the medium of a book. What imagination can conceive the grandeur of the ocean and its tides -< and Charleston, with its numerous historical associations, without having seen them? Even when the eye is resting up- ~ on the beauties of nature, the mind is incapable of grasping the smallest part of * - ^ lis expansive magniuceucc. ahu |?;i?>>uig hour brings thousands of changes and beauty is something new during every moment of the time. Books of description tell us that there are mountain peaks whose lofty summits are always crowned with dazzling snow, which constantly change: is white and golden, purple and rose-colored, all in an hour. We are told this, but soon forget it, but suppose we should verify this by seeing for ourselves, then it is just as fixed in memory as though it were a part of us. The tfermun children have been taught by travel for more than a century. The day is not far distant when American children will lie able to visit every battle field and every spot of historical interest. It will be a method of study. Charleston has a history, with which but few people are familiar. This occasion can be made the nucleus of a future study of the South and its resources, to say nothing of the revelations that would dawn upon visiting school children. I don't think I would be far from right to say, that one week at the Charleston Exposition would be worth to the average hoy six months' training in the school room. I am sure Bamberg county will be well represented 011 the grounds from time to time by her citizens, families and exhibits. The Methodist church will soon be ready for regular services. The renovation and changes made have gone far towards making the building quite | modern, comfortable and attractive. Some ^ of the members are hard to please, placing their ideas of architecture in contrast with that of the remodeled building, but all in all the church is up with the town, good enough for all of the people, and will serve the purpose most- proficiently, especially so, since it is predicted that in ten years the Methodist church will crown one of the hills of West End. Nothing more appropriate can be said just now than a universal expression of thanks to the untiring chairman of the building committee, Capt. J. B. Guess, and secondarily, a prompt remittance of every dollar subscribed. The ladies have taken up the furniture question and ere long the interior material furniture which now insures comfort will receive the supplementary touches of relief .and beauty of adornment. The new pews arc up-todate, the library room is a great convenience, the pulpit with chancel is unique, and the general appearance of the building, inside and outside, has been improved a thousand per cent, under the i touch of the painter's brush. A new _ Church is not all that is needed in the little town. A new faith and a fresh supply of grace would enhance the value of souls very much. Brothers Stokes and Ayres have a great Held of labor. What will the harvest be ? ^ The present town officials have established quite a precedent in the matter of expenditures of the town funds. Streets are in excellent condition and new highways have been opened, all of which stand as an object lesson to our citizens and ought to teach all of its voting people H that the essential element of town progress is the progressive men placed / at the head of its affairs. V The chain gang is expected in a few . days, and after the town has received on f its thoroughfares the result of one hundred and twenty-five borrowed days, roads within the corporate limits will bear a very critical inspection. Rev. Mr. Ayres has moved into the former residence occupied by Capt. J. E. Steadman. Mr. Ayres continues to enjoy the unbounded hospitality, of the entire community. His congregations ore always large and his sermons continue to appeal to every listener.
