GoTan News.
Govax, April 29, 1901.?At a special
called meeting of the patrons of the
Govan graded school last Monday afternoon
at U o'clock, for the purpose of calling
a teacher for another year, Prof. J
F. Carter unanimously received the call
I* *
at tifty dollars per month, school to open
I the tirst Monday in October next. A
committee was appointed to notify him
of his election and what had been done,
and while he appreciated the action of the
meeting said'that he could not give them
a definite answer before five or six weeks
and should he not take the school he
would let us know in ample time to get
another teacher. An election was then
held for trustees, which resulted in the
nomination of the following gentlemen
4 - novt T?' A \r occrc T
IU ^C1 ) C I lie lie Ab b i* v/ t em o> iuvuca u i
A. Kennedy, W. L. Kennedy, and Dr. J.
K. McCormack. These gentlemen are
not appointed or commissioned until 1st
July. Of course the old board will hold
over until the expiration of their term,
except Mr. H. M. Kenned}' one of the
board who resigned at once or as soon as
the new board was declared. We have
purchased the present school building
from Mr. H. M. Kennedy at one hundred
and thirty dollars with the priviledge of
buying the old building at twenty-live
dollars, which if annexed we can have a
house 24x48 feet, twice the size of the
present one.
Our teacher, Mr. J. F. Carter, left us
last Wednesday for Yarnville, where he
I goes on a visit to relatives and friends.
| All regret to have him leave, but hope he
will return in the near future.
A good many of our people went to the
memorial last Friday, and report a good
time.
Mrs. G. J. Bessinger and son, Elijah, of
Olar, have been called to the bedside of
her daughter, Jennie, in Georgia, where
she lies desperately ill. Hope they will
find her better on their arrival.
The recent cold snap has done up cotton
and melons in this section. Our
farmers are having some trouble in
getting the seed to plant these two crops,
many of them paying from one to two
dollars a bushel for cotton seed and a
dollar per pound for melon seed, and glad
to get 'em at that. Still Wall street has
sent cotton down an eighth of a cent on
account of a few sunshiny days. The
forcast looks very gloomy for the farmer
at this time with provisions so high.
Bacon selling at 10 to 12i cents, com|
$1.00 per bushel, bay $1,25 to $1.50 per
hundred pounds; this to be paid for in
King cotton at G to 7 cents and no seed to
plant. It looks as if the country will be
in a state of bankruptcy next fall. This
is the state of affairs as they now exist.
Take warning, brother farmers.

Denmark Doings.
Denmark, April 30.?The recordbreaking
April weather has, to a certain
degree, upset the risky calculations of all
farmers. Very probably the seemingly
deplorable conditions are blessings in
disguise. Cotton seed is at a premium.
Greedy and uuneighborly is that man who
takes advantage of his friends' misfortune
and forges them to pay the enormous
price of $1.00 per bushel for seed. This
is nothing short of stealing, to say nothing
of the outrageous example a father
places before his son in committing such
a crime. Money is a good thing, but God
doesn't intend for it to eclipse the ideal
principles of trtie, bonest manhood. The
day of retribution is coming. Say, extortioner,
are you really proud of the opportunity
of being so unreasonably selfish?
Iam glad Bamberg county has a
limited number of such animals. Farmers
are generally classed as being the
most accommodating people in the world,
but the various incidents which have become
the topics of talk are very rare, as
much so as the April weather. Theseare
extreme instances. The whole county
has felt the kindness and interest of hundreds
of the ideal class.
The cotton crop is being rapidly replanted.
In a few days all will be well
again, and the people will be decidedly
wiser after having successfully overcome
such a sudden, serious rebuff.
The Denmark High school will close
May 30, 31, and June 2nd, Dr. Henry S.
Hartzog, president of C'lemson College,
will deliver the annual address before the
school, Thursday evening, May 30. A
full nmurnni will bp rtublished later. In
a few clays the trustees will take up a
very important part of their annual afz
fairs, and no duty will be so prominent
as the choice of a competent corps of
teachers for the 1901-'02 session. The
present teaching force has made a very
(fine record, and it will be a loss to the
people if a change is effected, as the work
| of the past session has been high in puic
I pose and far-reaching in results,
The trustees have purchased a piano
for the school. This pleasant addition
will be a great source of pure delight to
the entire school. The charm of music
makes a touching appeal to children. In
a few more years this school will be very
effective in its work, as greater pquipments
supply the connecting influences
of modern growth.
The Baptist Sunday-school children
will give their annual picnic next Friday.
The anticipated pleasure of the occasion
is growing to fever heat among the little
tots. The public school will give a holiday,
thereby Increasing their delight.
Judge S. G. Ray has had some novel
cases up for consideration during the
past week. Two white gentlemen plead
guilty to the charge of tish trapping and
the Judge has reserved his decision, in regard

are set for the coming week. "Come ipto

To the Board of County Commissioners:
Gentlemen?At the last meetiug of the
board, in my absence from the room, you

was giving my entire time to the duties of

Editor Tiik Bamkkkc IIkrai.i>:?In
political trinity this is said to he an educational
era, and along this line we are
badly in need of education. Will not
some pliilanthropieally inclined man outj
side of the political fold give us the
I Democratic ritual of the nation in general
and the State in particular? We have
been taught to regard the race question
as the Democratic pass word and white
supremacy as its ultimate goal, but now
and then things will crop out which
shows a many sided Democracy and
brings a difference of opinion among men,
both State and nationally. Many of us
remember the Tillman May convention,
and not a few were the true Democrats
who would not affiliate on the ground
that it was foreign to the regular Democ|
racy.
The series of events since that time are
too familiar to mention. K. K. Tillman
has been sent to the gubernatorial chair
at Columbia and to the Senate at Washington
under the promise that lie would
accomplish wonders and reform the State
and nation. His administration in the
State and the consequences thereof have
resulted in as much scandal, corruption
and fraud, to say nothing of bloodshed,
iu our State institutions as he claims to :
have unearthed in his pioneer campaign
and charged to the old Democratic regime.
He has accomplished nothing at Wash- i
ington except the familiar sombriquc of
the pitchfork, which he claims to have '
sousded into the vitals of every Republi- (]
can who chanced to come his way. Many
of us remember last year when he came
back to the State and planted his pitch- !
fork into the haslet <>f the clergy and re- j
ligious institutions of the State, of whom ;
nothing of a sacreligious nature had ever j
been known. They were not Democrats; j
they were temperance and religious
people. Now he turns up with his instrument
of war and plants it into theepigas- 1
trie region of John L. McLaurin, and (
f
twists it around, as his slang goes. He ,
says Johnny has been affiliating with the t
Republicans; he has accomplished too <
much under a Republican administration '
to be a Democrat; Johnny is too mild and (
genteel and his winning ways among the 1
Republican representatives is foreign to 1
Democracy, and the man whom Ben once ^
rolled as a sweet morsel under his tongue t
has suddenly become repugnant and must i
be spit forth. (
The Democracy at Washington is a c
hide bound organization which says thus
far shalt thou go, etc., according to Till- a
man's conception. We have been con- 1
tent to send men there, and Mr. Tillman ^
is one of them, who do nothing but drink (]
champagne and curse the Republican u
party and come before their constituents ?
every campaign year and fan into 1
flame the smouldering embers of the civil
war and imbue the younger generation
with a class hatred, which was never just.
We need men at Washington who can c
|
pour oil oil the troubled waters and by
their soothing, emollient diplomacy cause kthis
rent to grow up and get smooth.
Beu needs to convert his pitchfork into a *
f
bodkin and his vituperation into a roll of
diplomatic twine and aid Johnny Mc- \
Laurin in sewing up the rent between the c
States which seems to separate the ^
South from legislative benefits.
Now, if Mr. Tillman is the embodied 1
Democracy of South Carolina, we want (
him to explain the bylaws, etc., of the c
party, so that we can see exactly where A
Johnny McLaurin deviated from the tmtli 1
of duty. We think that any man with a *
spark of American patriotism in hi* 1
economy should have voted to ratify the ^
Paris treaty. It became a national duty.
As for McLaurin's change of front, etc.,
any sensible man sometimes changes his
mind. "You know the rest "
If the south is to become the manufacturing
centre of the nation ami the navies A
of the earth are to be steamed with South- (
em oil why should the political future of 1
the South not avail the opportunities and jj
advantages which history has proven to
l>e good for the north and east? I have

A cough is not a disease but a symptom. ^
Consumption and bronchitis, which are

\ Terrible Story,
A special from Victoria, B. C., says: A
terrible story of the fate of a party of six
gold seekers in the Copper River country
from Dawson, wnerc a survivor 01 me
little party has arrived. The party left
Seattle three years ago for Copper river,
and according to this man's tale the
treacherous Vahles Glacier planned one
of the party for ifs own. He disappeared
a tis'surp' in the ice, descending a distance
of To feet, where he became wpdjjed
tptween walls of iee. lfe remained eon-,
scious, and gave final instructions to his
Companion*; who were powerless to assist
inn,. The next misadventure was on a
raft, which tossed over thundering rapids
and was broken to pieces against the
jagged rocks. The live men made a desperate
tight for life, but three of them
were never again seen. Two reached
shore, one of whom was severely injured,
internally, apd the other with a fractured
31m. They wpre liprefi of all provisions
land hundreds of miles from civilization.
. ^. 'ter days of untold suffering, the spark
: oi life in the man injured internally was
; mercifully extinguished, His lone* part '
ner for 1-5 days wandered without food.
After that his life beeame a blank for a
period of twelve months, and when his
senses returned he found himself among
friendly Indians.

Alabama, has written to a friend here,
and in the letter he unfolds an entirely
new sc-Jicine for an exhibit at the Buffalo
Exposition. We do not know whether
the plan will meet with favor in Bamberg
or not, but we will gladly receive any
contributions for the exhibit, and receipt
for same. Here is that part of the letter
which refers to the exhibit he proposes
making:
"The main purpose of this letter is to
get you to aid me in a little scheme, viz:
I am getting up a collection of real, genuine,
ail-American money, which I wish
to exhibit at the Pan-American Exposition,
to be held at Buffalo. My collection
will consist of gold, silver, greenbacks,
etc., in fact anything that is genuine
American money; no contribution will
bo refused, and as to duplicates, don't let
that deter you. as 1 can use any duplicate
to good advantage. I want contributions
from all parts of the country, so as to
make a creditable showing, as well as
making the exhibit national in its scope.
Old greasy bills, as well as badly worn
ones, will be taken, thus showing the
character of the people contributing. I
will have the name and address?of each
contributor stamped upon the back of the
note, so in case it should ever get out of
my hands, it can be returned to the original
sender, who in turn will be expected
to forward it attmee to me. Thus you
see very few of the bills could be lost,
unless through the rascality of some dish<
nest person, who would think he or
she was entitled to hold said bill. Anything
over and above the actual needs of
the exhibit, of course, will have to go to
defray my expenses, and perhaps that of
my wife, whom I will appoint my assistant.
"After the Exposition is over the money
will be used in buying souvenirs, such as
shirts, collars, cuffs, cravats, drawers,
socks, coats, pants, hats, vests, undershirts,
shoes, cigarettes and drinks, and j
mything else I may think necessary to
properly dispose of the money, after
which I propose to make a personal trip
:o show the souvenirs to each individual
contributor, at his or her expense.
"Now, it will all depend upon how
nany and how soon the bills begin to
come in. No time should be lost, for the
success is assured, and I want you to
vrite and talk to your friends, and show
hem the advantages of my plan over all
>thers. Start a chain letter, saying no
natter how the money came in their possession,
whether through actual theft,
church fairs, poker, craps, or bank robjeries.
none will be refused, and no quesions
asked.
"If you desire to embark in the exhibit
>usincss, as my line is already settled
ipon, I would suggest that you start one
n unused postage stamps and other coins
if the realm, such as one, two, and three
ent, and you might include 5c pieces."
Miss Florence Newman, who has been
, great sufferer from muscular rheumaism,
says Chamberlain's Pain Balm is
he only remedy that affords her relief.
