J EHRHARDT ETCHINGS. t Closing Picnic of Ehrhardt High School?Other News Items. Eiikijakdt, May 30.?After careful consideration and investigation of the subject, the principals of the Ehrhardt High school have deemed it advisable to change the regular order of the program heretofore, the change being an essential element of growth and prosperity, and instead of recitations and dialogues ^rom j the students, to occupy the time required for drilling the children for same, with their recitations, and to substitute a picmV nt thp r>in?p of their scholastic year. We, citizens of the prosperous little town of Ehrhardt, should indeed compliment ourselves upon the fact that we secured such able and competent teachers during the past session to instruct our chiftlren and lead them forth the pleasant elevating, and abiding paths of intellectual ability. Our school has indeed proven a success under their management and it does not seem absurd in the least nor unreasonable when we state that there is no doubt but that success will crown her doors with laurels in the near future if we only retain deep interest in our beloved school. For it is indeed in the early training of the minds and hearts of our children that the very basis and foundation of their character is formed. Time and tide move rapidly onward, and as man's physical existence is limited, the irrepressible fact that the children of < to-da}' shall be the men and women of i tomorrow more strongly and emphatically impresses the solemn obligations upon i us that it is our duty to see that our < children receive the best moral and < intellectual training that we can possibly attribute to their physical nature. Then ] why not manifest strong and abiding i interest in our public schools, high schools I and colleges. As space and time are ] limited we must hasten 011, and now to re- ! turn to the picuic, which will be held on i the thirtieth day of May in Mr. C. Ehr- i hardt's grove at Ehrhardt. Toaidiuthe ] entertainment of our patrons and many 1 friends, Prof. C. F. Wertz, who is always i endeavoring to see that others have a 1 good time, has secured the consent of and i promise of Revs. S. P. Chisolui and E. M. t McKissick to make addresses on this occa- t sion. To this picnic we extend a cordial t invitation to our many friends and request i only that they bring well filled baskets t and conduct themselves in a manner that t will bring credit to our little town. 1 Mr. W.

She was a consistent member of George's Creek Raptjst Phurph for several : years. It could be truly said that she 1 was one of the best women living, and to know her was to love her.

To the bereaved ones we extend most sincere sympathy. I see your report of the finanoes of the Bamberg cotton oil mill is in good shape, declaring a handsome dividend. Always feeling an interest in our county and her people, perhaps it would not be out of order to make a suggestion to the officials of the tpill. Before goipg furtjier it would be well tq see what this oil is used for. The amount of cotton seed oil crushed annually now exceeds 1,000,000 tons, and the production of crude cotton seed oil amounts to over 40,000,000 gallons, valued at more than $12,000,000. Of thjs production, ahput 0,000,000 gallons goes into the manufacture of compound lard, a still larger amount is exported as cotton seed oil. and the remainder Is used in the admixture wjtji drying oils and for soap stock. The oil cake is largely exported to England where it is used as food for cattle, and the oil to France, Italy, and other olive growing countries of Europe, whence most of it returns to us mixed with olive or sweet oil. The exportation of cotton seed oil for 1*90 ampu^ted to 13 3.84.3h5 callous valued at $5,291,178: " ?? c for 181>1 to 11,003,100 gallons, valued at 1 $3,975,305; for 1809 to 13,850,978 gallons, ' valued at $4,082,985. This oil is obtained by expression from the seeds previously > deprived of their shells. In this state " fhey yield two gallons of oil to tue bushel. I Now, with a small cost the mill officials * could annex and manufacture their own ' soap out of this oil, thereby supplying the * home deqiand for this article, all of whjpb pQilld by run by the same machirery. i More could be said, but for fair I may be ? trespassing, I will give this as a pointer. One thing more I will call your atten> tion to. On the eve of the S. C. Medical ? Association, which convened ip Florence, 'f the 17th of April, 1 being a member of that association, i was very anxious to II bring about a bearing to have their next e annual meeting convene in Bamberg. * Knowing it was a big undertaking for j 0 I j Bamberg and her people, but realizing | that Bamberg never does things by halves, II I decided to consult Mayor Iuglis pn the s subject. He promised his hearty eo\ operation at next meeting of council, ^ wiijph the following letter explain* itselfBamberg, S. O., April 3, 1001. 's Dr. .T. R. McCormack, Govan, S. 0.? j ,l| v Uftir sir: 1 mm unuu< uui tvmi council, ai their meeting yesterday, the ; matter of inviting the State Medical As* ; sociation to meet in our town next year, e! and am instructed to say that while if 7. this matter had been brought to their at1 tention earlier, they would have looked with favor upon it, they do not deem it proper that such an invitation should he extended by them just on the eve of their going out of office. With assurances of my personal regret, I am yours truly, L. C. I no lis. Mayor. I am unable to see what ill effect this could have had on council. We have had some refreshing showers lately, which will now bring up the cotton that the farmers had to plant over. The farmers are having it pretty hard and I am afraid the merchants' turn will come next fall. The merchant has not only the farmer to furnish but their horses to feed. We await results. We are glad to welcome Mr. Wilber Carter in our midst again. J. R. 31. Bartow Warren on Trial. Oraxgerukg, May 13.?'The trial of Bartow Warren, of Branchville, for the robbery of the express ear on the South ern Road, at Fifty-Eight, on the night of December 1, began here this morning, and at the adjournment of court the testimony for the State hail not been concluded. The case so far made is practically that made at the preliminary hearing eighteen months ago. W. M. Connor and Thomas Watson were the star witnesses, though their testimony has been published before in full, and its elTect upon the jury today could hardly be estimated. These two young men, fellow townsmen of Warren, testified that in November, before the robbery, he made offers to them separately to join him in the scheme, and had outlined his plans. Watson said he promised to consider the matter and have another meeting, but shortly after got work at Ridgeville and .lid not see Warren again. He said that when he heard of the robbery he told the people of Ridgeville he thought he could name the man that did it. Connor said that Warren came to him tirst, told him tie was looking for a partner in a dangerous enterprise, and from what he had seen of him would rather have him join it than any one else. He said that Warren's proposition,jfirst, was to go down ;o Charleston some night, ostensibly to ittend the theatre, obtain disguises and bicycles, ride out to the Seven-mile crossng after dark, and board the Savannah ;rain, hold it up, and rob the express car, ind ride back into town. He proposed ;hat the}' carry a sledge hammer, so that f refused admittance to the express car hey could break into the door. After jetting the money they could return to 3ranchville without ever being suspected. Connor says he told Warren that he did tot have nerve enough to join him, and hat he had better see Thomas Watson, vho was out of work and was a good man or the job. Important testimony was given by Mr. lames Hogan, of the Charleston detective Qfee, who arrested Warren in Charleson. It had been shown by the express it Langley that a .package had been hipped to Charleston by him on the afernoou of the robbery containing a $00 fold piece and seven $10 gold pieces, and bese were in one of the packages stolen )y the robber. Mr. Hogan said that when 10 arrested and searched Warren he 'ound in one of his pockets a $*20 gold 1 - .*.? /\ 11* 11" )iece ana iour$iu goiu pieces. warren ippeared very nervous when this testinony was being given, lie is a voiing ?311 of medium height, stout build, low 'orehead and rather pleasant features, suggesting, perhaps, the amateur, but not he hardened highwayman, The express messengers, s. W. Khoadcs tnd H. M. Sanders, gave the details of the obbery. Just after the signal blew for Fifty-eight station Mr. Bhuados openc d the door between the mail car and the baggage car, in response to a knock, and i man in a long overcoat, wearing a bald wig and false beard, presented two pistols and ordered them to throw up their hands. He mtuW Sanders open his safe Hud put the money, about in a nauvas sack, backed to the door, pulled the bell cord, and told the messengers if they followed him he would shoot. The money wastaktm from the Augusta safe, ^ud the Columbia safe, which contained a larger sum, was not molested. The | robber worked quickly and positively, j and said he hadn't long to stay. Captain Black, who was the conductor in c harge of the train, said when the train stopped he got off to see what was up. He saw a man fame from between the baggage and express ours, and jump in the water on the side of the road. He felt satisfied, he laid, that it wasn't an ordinary tramp, I aud as he was in the light, and the man in the dark, he thought it uuwise to investigate further, and gave the signal to j go ahead. Just after the train started he was notified of the yobbery by the j messengers, but nothing could be done. Mr. Murrell, the tlagnian 01 the train, got off on the side opposite Conductor Black and saw the figure of a man under the car, thought it was a tramp, and when he saw hint disappear told the conductor to go ahead. Some time later, while boarding the express car, he found on the top step a large sledge hammer. Mr- -T. Betts Simmons, of the Lazarus hardware store, |n Charleston, identified the hammer as one he had sold a few days before to a man that resembled the defendant, though he could not swear positively that Warren was the man. Mrs. Holle, of 38G King street, Charleston, identified Warren as a man to whom she ?v.hl aw'ig and ffllse hettrd sometime during the lathr part of November, She said that ^s Warren left her establishment he said he would probably be hack In a few days to get outfits for two more men and, perhaps, a woman Miss Susie Rosis, clerk for Mrs. Ilolle, also said that Warren was the man to whom the outfit was sold, ftps furnishes same- corroboration of the story of Connor and Watson. When Warren was arrested in Charleston he was in eiuupuny with woman. Warren |s well represented by the Hon. .Tames F. Izlar, W. 0. Wolfe and Henry H. Riunson. Messrs. W. St. Julien Jervey and Raysor & Summers are assisting Solicitor HiUlebrand witli the prosecution. Front present indications the Warren ease w ill pike all c\i Tuesday aad most of Wednesday.

The testimony in the case was finished Tuesday, there h<?ing ho witnesses for the defense. The balance of the day was consumed in argument, and the jury retired at six o'clock Tuesday afternoon. ?\t 12:30 Wednesday morning a verdict had nut been rendered, and it is supposed the ease will result in a mistrial.
