The hearing at Denmark last Saturday in the new road matter did not take place. Commissioner Geo. J. Hiers was not present, and the gentlemen opposed to the road did not want the matter heard unless a full board was present. There was also an attempt at a compromise by cutting the road through another route, but this did not meet with favor. Another hearing has been set for Wednesday, the 7th of May, which will take place in the court house at this place. All the latest cold drinks at Price's fount. Dr. A. P.

When we went to press Wednesday of last week the jury was out in the case of R. L. Hightower vs. C. B. Thomas. They failed to agree, and the Judge ordered a mistrial. This was the last jury case tried, and the jury was dismissed the same afternoon. Thursday morning the case of Greig & Jones vs. W. B. Rice et al was taken up, and consumed all that day and part of Friday. Tiiis was a hard-fought case, and attracted a great deal of interest. Judge Buchanan reserved his decision. Judge Buchanan left Saturday morning, and just after his departure court was formally adjourned. Most of the visiting lawyers, witnesses, etc., left Saturday also. Death or Mrs. Jones. Mrs. Amanda L. Jones died at her resi dence in this city last Thursday night about half past nine o'clock. She had been serious]}- ill for several days, and had been in bad health for some time past. Pneumonia was the cause of her death. The burial took place Saturday morning at the cemetery here, the services being conducted by Rev. Jno. G. Beckwith, pastor of the Barnwell Methodist church, he having come down from Denmark, where he was attending the district conference, for fhie purpose. Mrs. Jones was sixty-five years old at the time of her death, and had been a widow for ten years, her husband having died in 1890. She was a member of the Methodist church, and leaves eight children : Messrs. J. J., W. P., and R. C. Jones; Mrs. R. L. Risher, Mrs. II. W. Beach, Mrs. N. P. Murdaugh, Mrs. C. F. Kizer, ami Miss uaisy jones, as wen as many grandchildren. The many friends of the bereaved ones extend sympathy in this hour of affliction. For a New Road. The citizens of the Govan and Olar sections are much interested in a new road from that country to Bamberg, or rather the straightening of the old road. They have succeeded in getting the cooperation of many of the leading citizens of Bamberg, and a meeting was held in the town hall last Friday afternoon to discuss the matter. Dr. J. B. Black was made chairman and B. W. Miley, Esq., secretary. After remarks had been made by several gentlemen, on motion of Maj. E. It. Hays, a committee consisting of Messrs. C. R. Brabham, E. 0. Hays, G. Frank Bamberg and W. E. Spanu, was appointed to take charge of the matter at this end and to co-operate with the gentlemen from the other end of the road TlllS COQinUllfU wu? )ii9uuvici( iu 51; vw work at once, and they will at once go over the proposed new route and lay out the road. A surveyor will then be employed to lay out the highway, and the necessary steps to secure the same will b.> taken at once. The abo\e was written for last week's issue but was omitted. Since then the committee has gone to work in earnest, going over the route and laying out the proposed road, and has secured rights of way from several parties through whose land the road passes. The matter is being LOtten in shape, and as soon as all rights of way have been secured, a surveyor will be employed to lay out the road. The outlook for getting this highway looks bright.

Sandifer, died at the home of her step-father, Mr. J. L. Smoak, last Saturday afternoon. Mr. Smoak lives about five miles below towu. She was twentythree years old, and had been seriously ill for the past two weeks, consequently her death was not a surprise to those who knew how sick she was. The burial took place at Spriugtown Baptist church Sunday afternoon at three o'clock, the services being conducted by Rev. S. P. Chisholm. To the many bereaved relatives we extend sympathy. Orangeburg District Conference. Denmauk, April 23.?The Orangeburg District Conference convened in the Methodist church at this place last Wednesday evening. The opening sermon was preached by Rev. F. H. Shuler, of Aiken, to a large congregation. Mr. Shuler is a graduate of Wofford College and possesses many characteristics, which if thoroughly cultivated, will bring to him quite a success in his ministerial labors. He was known in college as "Big Shuler," and none the less is he this day. His ambition prompts him to anticipate the high office of Elder before he is even ' quite so old as Elder Browne. Mr. Shuler preached a fine sermon, reaping the first words of commendation from the lovers ' of good preaching, who assembled to .' hear the first big gun of the occasion. Presiding Elder Browne organized the conference, appointed committees and " made announcements within the limit of fifteen minutes. During the subsequent s meetings the regular routine of business was pursued. All questions were ably i discussed by the ministers. < Thursday evening a large congregation ] % i n "n..i :Ai. r . greeted tne uev. jonn w. joecawnu, ox Barnwell, wlio preached a most excellent sermon, using for his text "Prayer in i Missions." Mr. Beckwith is a natural urator and promises to develop into an 1 extraordinary preacher. He may stand 1 is a rival to Mr. Shuler for the Eldership, i Prof. J. G. Clinkscales of Wofford College spoke to a crowded church Friday i md Sunday evenings. He has captivated Lliis entire community. It is reported that Dr. J. H. Carlisle will positively de- I :line the presidency of Wofford another term. If such should be the case Orange- 1 burg District would gladly bestow upon ^ Prof. Clinkscales the high honor. The unanimous expression among laymen J andjpreachers is that he is the man for the place. The theme of thought used by 1 Prof. Clinkscales Sunday evening was s embodied in these words: "Is the young t man Absalom safe?" At times many were t shedding tears, carried away by the heavy r thuds of pathos coming one after another ] with stirring appeal. Before these tender t emotions were least effective the entire ] audience was engrossed with laughter under the keen wit so aptly connected J with his suggestive illustrations. The ( address was an appeal to young men, ] mingled with the consequences of a life wntffpd linnii flip nnrsuit of the Dhantom - shadows of a disordered living. Mothers buried their faces in their hands and boys burned with the desire to forsake wick- 1 edness and return to the race God has planned for them. No one can foresee the fruits of such a maguificent appeal. 1 Rev. M. W. Hook, of Bamberg, preach- s ed at 11 o'clock Sunday morning. Mr. 5 Hook is decidedly the strongest preacher < in the District. He is philosophical, yet ] purely simple in diction, eliciting a i strong logical presentation of every thought. At times Mr. Hook is carried t away by his natural gift of eloquence 1 and returns upon a floodtidc of reasoning, ( which drives deep down into the human < soul the declarations of a living Christ < to a dying people. Dr. Daniel, President of Columbia Fe- i male College, represented his institution in person. The college is said to be in 1 excellent condition, all past good records having been broken during the present year. State and public schools received some hard blows from the hands of the various representatives. Graded schools I were classed as mere machinery and red ( tape and in the end destroying the aspirations of ambitious, zealous pupils. ] Your correspondent must take issue with j some of these gentlemen because an 1 erroneous impression has gone out which may discredit the power and influence of < a first class graded school. The graded i school at this place does not issue di- 1 plomas nor do teachers and managing officers claim to be doing college work. | How can the acquisition of knowledge i narrow a boy's conception. of the great? ' Every up to date graded school in South Carolina is a preparatory school, besides it is the rudimentary workshop, the only opening by which the greater per cent of boys and girls attending them can ac- 1 quire even an academic education. A ' graded school in the strictest sense of the ' word is an abomination, but no intelli- ' gent teacher in South Carolina is enforcing curricula in harmony with the mere 1 name of the system. Our progressive teachers are eliminating every possible hindrance. It is absolutely necessary for every community to own and equip its school, which shall provide every step to the child until he is ready to knock at the door of a college, whether that college be State or denominational. The State must educate because is is aided by taxation. The church of this land has become distinctively the institution of spiritual predominance, and, thank God, it is not a sheltering asylum for the modern politicians. Keep them separated. The glory of our State is found ju her effort to educate the masses of people. The glory of our church is none the less thwarted by governmental precociousness. The State has a miserable public school system as a whole, but hundreds of communities have begun to solve this question for themselves and ere long every community will be able to provide preparatory schools for itsboy9 and girls, j Denmark is in the front rank of this tile, J and the consummation of its present . inauguration will in a few more years ! become the object of monumental greatness of this progressive people.

It is useless to say that the house was packed like sardines; not another soul could have entered without standing on other's heads, and still about one-half of the people were outside at the windows and doors. All of which proves that the highest interest is taken in our little ones in getting an education. We are aroused to the highest pitch on this subject, and may God grant that the day is not far distant when your scribe can say: "Well done, thou good and faithful servaut, enter thou unto the. joy of thy Lord." Then our work will be accomplished. It is especially due Prof. Jesse F. Carter the honor and credit that this has been the most successful session ! in the history of the school. lie has been unerring, diligent and faithful in the discharge of every duty.

J / rXL Cigarette Smoking Again. Editor The Bamhkug IIkhai.d:?A few weeks ago ail article appeared in your paper on cigarette smoking, which caused me to think about the subject and prepare this article for publication. And now, kind editor, please allow me space in your valuable columns to express my views upon the abominable habit. In the article from Hartzog the scribe seemed to lay great stress on the fact that boys from the age of sixteen to eighteen years old smoked cigarettes. Let me proclaim right here that boys of the age spoken of are not the only ones who indulge in cigarette smoking. Almost every week you can pick up newspapers ami see editorials on cigarettes, rebuking and scandalizing boys for smoking thein, anil yet editors and their employes have been seen by this scribe pulling away on a cigarette. Physicians indulge freely in the habit; lawyers smoke cigarettes; and men of almost every profession are slaves to the habit. Yes, all except Methodist ! preachers; they think too much of their dainty lingers and are afraid they will get the odor in their chicken pic. Even girls, some of them, smoke cigarettes, and yet after all this is a known fact the boys from sixteen to eighteen have to bear all the brunt and submit to the ridicule of so many who are not competent judges and really don't know the reason why cigarette smoking is injurious. Some think it is just simply a disgraceful and disgusting habit among the boys, but there is no better time for the ignorant to learn better. The reason why men of eloquence and authority condemn the habit is because jt is injurious to our physical and mental development and not because it is a disgusting habit. It is true that the cigarette habit is hard to control, but notwithstanding the tendency that the ingredients have on us boys, let us form a league against cigarette smoking and enhance ourselves to a standpoint where we will not have all the credit for the rushing of the abominable habit. "VVe know that it is injurious to us in many ways. First, public sentiment seems to establish the opinion that boys are the only class of people who smoke cigarettes, and we must prove this a falsehood, which is an injury to us. Second, cigarettes are injurious to our mental and physical development and this enough for us to know. To itemize different parts of the human body and mind that cigarettes affect, would require dissection, but we know the evil of the habit, and a word to the wise is sufficient. B. G. J.

"Render Unto Caesar the Things That are Caesar's/' EniTon The Bamberg Herald:?A good deal has been said in your paper about smoking and its offcnsiveness, but I can show you some worse evils tolerated. Society, how many have you! and how many technical excuses for them! A sixty-one-years old Confederate soldier can't tell you, but I think the smell of no X corn whiskey on that dude's breath is not only offensive to ladies, but is an assault on their character. A man who goes in the company of ladies smelling like a broken jug of corn whiskey has the audacity of the devil himself. A bloated-cheeked, red-eved bloody-nosed old gambler takes the back ways and don't wish to be seen, while society Is annoyed not only with smoking, but also with the dude fellow and his offensive breath, laden with the smell of no X corn whiskey. He is everywhere; sits in the choir and sings big, throwing the poisonous fumes from his breath over the congregation. Finally the devil will introduce him into the church in full fellowship. O, what a destructive blizzard is this to society and church. Winning your confidence, he makes lore to your daughter, and she is so easilv fooled. You had better mind or he may yet be your son-in-law. Now, Mr. Editor, I am not going to pounce down on that small boy over there for doing what he sees is fashionable, but lam going to let the little fellow have his package of cheroots and his pistol until society takes that blue steel pistol from their preachers and from their deacons and from their class leaders and from the Sunday-school superintendent and from the teachers. Then I will vouch for that little boy that lie will leave his sling shot and pistol and cheroots at home. That will be rendering "Unto Ca-sar the things that are Crcsar's." Clod Hopper.
