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.

Last Saturday night the street lamps
on the upper end of Railroad Avenue (

In another column Supervisor Bruce
has a warning notice to those who persistently
violate the law in reference to
ploughing in the public roads. He is determined
to stop this pernicious practiee,
and violators will be dealt with according
to law. The Supervisor will have the
hearty support of all good citizens in his
efforts to enforce this law, for it is certainly
a reform that is much needed.

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

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.

Miss Belle Sandifer Bead.
Miss Belle Sandifer, a daughter of Mrs.
J. E. 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 ]

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. J.

- Goran Graded School.
Govak, April 22.?The closing exercises
of the Govan graded school occurred last
Tuesday night, April 10th, at the school
building. 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. The children and
patrons are loud in singing his praises
and hope to retain him am ?ier year.

quick rf.i.trf from pain*
All who use Chamberlain's Pain Balm
for rheumatism are delighted with the
ptick relief from pain which it affords.
When speaking of this Mr. 1). X. Sinks
if Troy, Ohio, says: "Some time ago I
had a severe attack of rheumatism in my
trni and shoulder. I tried numerous
remedies but got no rel ef until I was
recommended by Messrs. Geo. F. Parsons
fc Co., druggists of this place, to try
Dhamberlaiu's Pain Balm. They recommended
it so highly that I bought a bottle.
I was soon relieved of all pain. I
tiave since recommended this liniment to
many of my friends, who agree with me
that it is the best remedy for muscular
rheumatism in the market." For sale by

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."
