Sold by G. Frank Bamberg.
There was a largely attended fish fry
at the river Tuesday, given by some
gentlemen from town, which was quite
? an enjoyable affair.
Rev. M. W. Hook has been granted a
months' vacation, and in consequence
there will be no preaching at the Methodist
church until the first Sunday iu September.
Quattlebaum & Dannelly, of Ehrhardt,
have a new stock of buggies, surries, harness,
whips, wagons, and everything in
their line. Go to see them. They can
please you and keep you pleased.
Capt. W. R. Wright has received the
money for the services of the Bamberg
Guards in going to Denmark to prevent
a lynching recently, and the money is
. being pai5 out to the men. They get &3
each.
The factory chapel is about completed,
and it is a nice building. The work has
been done well and cheaply. The building
needs seats and painting, and when
~. this is done it will be a nice house of I
worship.
Mr. G. L. Kinard, one of Ehrliardt's
most popular young men, and Miss Lilla
Sease, daughter of Capt. W. E. Sease, will
be married at the home of the bride on
the afternoon of the 15th instant at 3
iS';r o'clock. I
Rock Hill buggies last longer, look better
and run lighter than any other buggy
on the market for the money. Sold and
; Warranted by G. Frank Bamberg.
Mayor Hays says he expects to materi
ally improve the streets of the town in
; the next few months. Work will soon
commence on the claying of the street out
by the Fitting School and new cemetery,
and the work will be extended to the
other sandy streets as fast as practicable.
The charge of desertion against Wm. j
Bessinger has been removed, and the
State board of pensions has sent the
| amount of his pension money to Clerk of
Court C. B. Free, who has paid it to
, Mr. Bessinger. While the money was
gratefully received by him, yet his vindication
is'more to him than the pension.
It is said that W. D. Mayfield, of Columbia,
formerly State superintendent of
education, and a brother of Senator S. G.
Mayfield,of this county, will manage Senator
McLaurin's campaign in the lower
part of the State. He was interviewed
fftct u-ppL- bv a reporter of the Columbia
State and expressed himself strongly on
t?- political affairs.
Mr. T. D. Jones, who during the past
year has had charge of the Hyatt Park
school at Columbia, has accepted the
principalship of the Bisliopville Graded
school. Mr. Jones will be assisted by
Mrs. M. D. Hughes, Miss Lina Bradley,
Mrs. Annie J. Lane, and Miss M. Louise
; . Walker. Mr. Jones and family are now
visiting relatives near Ehrhardt.
_G. Frank Bamberg has slaughtered the
prices on buggies and wagons, and his
customers are certainly taking advantage
of it.
City couueil is going to rigidly enforce
the ordinance against sweeping trash
into the street. The ordinance requires
that all trash be placed in a box or barrel
to be removed by the town cart, but it
has been the custom heretofore to sweep
it into the street. This caused the town
hands to rake Main street every few days.
We commend the council for this action.
Frank Bamberg's special buggy sale is
bringing the people his way, and he is
certainly unloading vehicles. Better call
on him during this special sale. He says
his business has doubled in the last year,
and he attributes much of his success to
advertising. His motto is: Buy right,
advertise largely, ami Lave inducements
to offer customers when they come in response
to advertisements, and have a
guarantee mean something.
The Bamberg base ball team went tip
to Denmark last Friday afternoon to
play a game with the Denmark team.
l)enmark went to the bat first and was
shut out; Bamberg then went to the bat
and made two runs; Denmark then made
three runs; Bamberg then added fivt
more runs to her credit, and shut out
Denmark next inning. Bamberg then
had a turn at the bat. but our boys declined
to play longer on account of a
misunderstanding in regard to a player
There was no hard feelings, however, between
the teams, and the game was called
quietly. There was a crowd of people
from Denmark present, and many from
here went up to witnes the game, whe
were badly disappointed by its suspension.

City council held a regular monthly
meeting Tuesday afternoon, but not much
business was transacted. Several cases of
disorderly conduct were disposed of, and
the usual routine business transacted. Two
petitions were presented, each signed by
citizens of the town. One requested that
the town subscribe $100 for stock in the
Charleston Exposition Company. The
other asked for an appropriation of $200
for a county exhibit at the Exposition,
1 this fund to be used by the commissioners
j from this county. "Council appropriated
$1(X> for Exposition stock, ami agreed to

Costs Money to Keep the Peace.
Governor McSweeney has forwarded a
warrant for $157, which will go to pay
the Bamberg Guards for their services in
connection with the expected lynching at
Denmark last week.
It is said that had the negro in this case
been lynched it would have been disgraceful,
as there seems to be nothing in the
case. Governor McSweeney has received
several letters regarding the parties involved,
which are not very agreeable
reading.-Columbia Correspondence News
and Courier.
Letter to Rev. M, TV. Hook,
1 Bamberg, S. C.
Dear Sir 'Truth will prevail; many
people doubt the statement made in behalf
of L. & M. paint but when they see
how it covers and wears, they are prevailed
upon to buy it, and about ten
years afterward, come back for more.
The old paint is still in good condition
but they want to change the colors on the
house. Thin paints are not in favor because
thev are three-fourth linseed oil,
and nobody wants to pay a paint price
for a lot of linseed oil. \Vhite lead always
chalks and admits moisture to the wood.
L. & M. paint is non-clialkable, and being
semi-paste requires the addition of a
large quantity of linseed oil,which reduces
its actual cost to the minimum.
The Bamberg Pharmacy will be pleased
to quote the lowest prices, and furnish
color cards. Yours sincerely,
Longman & Martinez.

Treasurer Dickinson Suspended.
Last Monday Governor McSwceney
suspended Mr. J. Dickinson as treasurer
of Bamberg county and appointed Col.
Jno. F. Folk in liis stead. This will be
unpleasant news to "Uncle Joe's" many
friends, who had hoped that he would be
able to straighten up affairs and retain
the office. Bat it was simply impossible
to raise money to pay lip tiie shortage at
this season of "the year, no matter what
security was offered, and then too his
j property had been put up to indemnify
the bondsmen. He has the respect and
confidence of us all, and every one feels
sure that he is thoroughly honest and
conscientious and sympathizes with him
in his difficulties. There has never been
a case in the history of the State where
an official in trouble was shown so much
consideration by the authorities. The
reason for this is that every man in Bamberg
county knew the sterling honor and
integrity of the man and that it was no
wrong-doing on bis part that brought
about this state of affairs.
Following are the letters from Governor
McSweeney in regard to the affair,
I which were sent to Col. Jno. F. Folk:
Columbia, S. C., August otn, luvi.
To J. Dickinson, Treasurer Bamberg
County, Bamberg. S. C.,
Dear Sir:?Evidence satisfactory to me
having been submitted that a shortage
now existing in your office of taxes
collected to the amount of $2,278.68, and
that you refuse to pay claims against the
county properly audited and allowed, and
that funds arising from the proceeds of
the county dispensaries are not paid out
as required by law, and for other official
irregularities and violations of law, for
each and all of the misconducts in office
and for other reasons stated in Act of the
General Assembly, approved February
9th, 1898, (page 1007 17th statute) you are
hereby, from August 5th, 1901, suspended
as county treasurer of Bamberg county
until the suspension can be acted upon
by the Senate at its next session. Like- j
wise for these reasons I have declined j
and do now decline to issue a commis- |
sion to you for the above named office. I
John F. Folk is hereby designated and appointed
to perform the duties of the
treasurer of Bamberg county during said
suspension. Respectfully,
M. B. McSweeney,
i Governor.
Columbia, S. C , August oth, 1901.
Col. Jno. F. Folk, Bamberg, S. C.
Dear Sir:?I enclose you a copy of a
letter written to-day to Mr. J. Dickinson,
treasurer of Bamberg county. In the
letter you will see that I have appointed
you county treasurer of Bamberg county,
J and have this day suspended the present
j treasurer, Mr. J. Dickinson. You will
! prepare your bond and have it approved
! and commission will be issued to you.
j Trusting that your administration of the
! office will be, as I am sure it will, creditable
to yourself and to the pe<^|e of your
State and county, I am, veryOTny yours,

Governor.

Far-Famed Edgefield.
"Yes, give me the land that hath legends
and lays,
That tell of the memory of long vanished
days;
Yes, give me a laud with a grave in each
spot,
And names in the graves that shall not
be forgot."
Dear Herald: The above beautiful
lines applies to old Edgefield. Dating
back to revolutionary times when old
Aunt Nancy Hart, the great Whig char-1
acter who captured five Tories by strate-1
gv over in Elbert county, Georgia, and j
afterwards moved to .Ldgeneia 10 live,
this portion of Carolina has enjoyed a
name that will live throughout ages.
And when we begin to mention some of
her proud sons, we scarce can know
which name to bring forth first or where
to cease. There is the ''bald eagle" of
Edgefield, Mart Gary, and then comes the
Butlers, Bonliams, Blands, Slieppards
and the much abused, but nevertheless
greatly talented Tillmans. Last, but far
from being least, is James T. Bacon, the
exquisite gentleman, musician, and talented
editor of the Edgefield Chronicle.
Edgefield, thy name is culture, brain, and
bravery! Nature has done so much for
this region in equable climate, pleasing
landscapes and fine water. It only re-!
mains for man to furnish the necessary
appurtenances and comforts for most de- j
sirable homes. Cast the eye in any direction
(especially in western Edgefield) and
you behold endless stretches of rolling
country. Here on a hill top beneath the
shade of friendly oaks we are quartered
for the summer. Our tent faces the north,
and to say the novelty, if not the pleasure,
of a marooning life is delightful does not
bring out half the emphasis we wish to
convey.
Our silent friends, whom we shall designate
as "Mohun," "Surrey of Eagle s
Nest," "Hammer and Rapier," "Col. Ross"
and others from the pen of J. Esten
Cook, with a few from the pen of Thomas
Nelson Page, are most enjoyable companions.
At early morning when the
dew still lingers 011 the flowers and old
sol is spreading his radiant smiles upon a
drowsy world, there is nothing more
thoroughly satisfying to an inquiring
.mind, than to sit near enough to the
cooking department to get a whiff now
and then of fried ham and boiling coffee
and read such books as above mentioned.
Page is a fine dialect writer. His portrayal
of negro terms and customs are
perfect. If one fancies this quaint and
rapidly vanishing dialect, let them read
"In old Virginia." "Mars Chan" and
"Polly" are chapters full of pith and
humor. "Major Jones' Courtship" has
given us a few iaughs, too. The author,
Rev. Thomason, was raised just across
the river from here and I have met several

Astounded The Editor.
Editor S. A. Brown, of Bennettsville,
S. C., was once immensely surprised.
'Through long suffering from dyspepsia,"
he writes, "my wife was greatly run down.
She had no strength or vigor ami suffered
great distress from her stomach, but
she tried Electric Bitters which helped
her at once, and, after using four bottles,
she is entirely well, can eat anything. It's
a grand tonic, and its gentle laxative
qualities are splendid for torpid liver."
For indigestion, loss of appetite, stomach
- and liver troubles it's a positive, guaranteed
cure. Oaly 50c. at Dr. and T. Black.
Teacher's Involuntary Lesson.
"The girls treated principal and teach
ers with an exaggerated respect that the;
most certainly showed to no other morta
in the world," writes Marv Louise Gra
ham of "My Boarding-School for Girls,'
in The Ladies' Home Journal for August
"They could not grasp the idea that tliei
could talk to me as they would to an;
woman of my age at their homes. I don"*
quite know that I ought to tell what wa:
the opening wedge, the beginning of tin
new order of things. 1 have never re
gretted it in spite of the fact that it wa:
rather shocking, and that I was lame foi
days afterward. We were all assembler
in the schoolroom for prayers. 1 sat dowr
inadvertently on an optical delusion of:
chair, and as I reached the floor I ex
claimed involuntarily at the top of nn
lungs: 'The devil!' I wish to remark
parenthetically that I am not in the habil
of swearing, that I think it a most unladylike
custom, and I would advise my girl?
against it if I ever dared approach tin
subject. In this instance my swearing
was probably a case of atavism, my grandfather
being a most ungodly specimen ol
a Puritan. But, to return to that morning
in the schoolroom, there was a silcpct
which lusted about two seconds; then out
girl giggled. Well, it enu\.-\ with twe
cases of hysterics, and wedidiiH have any
prayers that morning. But the episod't
proved that I was human, and so it wa?
the beginning of better things."

The Cosmopolitan for August is, a?
usual, rich in fiction, remarkable both 101
its vivid interest and its great variety.
Irving Baclieller writes a refreshing story
of the Canadian big-timber region, and
Hering's drawings catch the spirit of the
scene perfectly. A. T. Quiller-Couch's

enlist our sympathies with the French exile
who broke his parole for love, liichard
Le Gallienne tells the most charming and
least known of the quaint "Old French
Romances"?the love of honest Squire
Robin for the Fair Jehane. "The Temple
of Fate," the late Grant Allen's clevei
satire on modern society, i? certain not
only to entertain the reader, but also to
set him thinking. Francis Willing Wharton
writes a pretty Jstory of fashionable
Newport society?a subject with which
she is thoroughly at home; while Phoebe
Lyde and Egerton Castle handle strong
subjects in a masterly manner.

McLaurin Gaining.
[From the Atlanta Journal.]
It is a matter of much suprise to me
that The Journal, usually accurate and
| well informed, has allowed itself to absorb
and to disseminate such a vast amount of
misinformation relative to the political
j conditions prevailing on this side of the
Savannah.
I have noticed on several occasion that
you undertake to speak for the Democracy
of South Carolina in the matter of
the retirement of Senator McLaurin, and
represent it as fairly itching to wring his
official head olf.
In your issue of the Pith, under the editorial
caption "A Wild Western Prophet,"
you have displayed unusual ingenuity
in condensing a maximum amount of
misinformation into a minimum amount
of space.
You take the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
to task for its very true declaration that
"the people of South Carolina are rising
in their might to enderse the junior sen
ator," and add: "The St. Louis GIoheDemocrat
knows as much about South
Carolina politics as it knows about the
occupation of the inhabitants of Mars.
McLauriu himself will smile when he
reads that statement. He knows that the
next tinio fcx>utli Carolina gets a lick at
him she will discharge liim from her service.
He must know that he does not
represent her, and that she is anxiously
awaiting an opportunity to repudiate and
dismiss him. The only benetit that McLauriu
has acquired by misrepresenting
his people is the achievement of a notoriety
which would have been impossible
if he had gone along in the senatorial
path upon which he was set and upon
which he will never be placed again by
the will of a people who were deluded
into regarding him as a representative of
their principles."
You will pardon me if I venture the
assertion that the St. Louis Globe Democrat
is evidently in closer touch with
South Carolina politics than The Journal
if the expressions above are to be considered
a fair specimen of your political
foresight across the border.
No, sir, Senator McLaurin nor Senator
Tillman either believe that the people are
"anxiously awaiting an opportunity to repudiate
and dismiss" the former; but to
the contrary, the friends of McLaurin
were never more confident, while Tillman
and his followers realize the rapid
crystallization of pure Democratic sentiment
not only throughout the towns,
cities and manufacturing centers, but
throughout the rural districts as well?
and here is the most startling feature of
the whole revolution. The country people
of South Carolina who, with progress,
are growing in independent spirit, are
chafing under the tyranny of boss rule
* J .Hi , ?
and mey resent mis oincious meuiumg oi
the arch-boss Tillman as an aggravated
offense worthy of their most emphatic rebuke.
He has been warned on two
former occasions to button up his lip and
each time more forcibly than before, so
that among his strongest quondam adherents
words of the strongest denunciation
are being usetl with reference to
Senator McLaurin. I happened to know
that Senator Tillman's cuckoo, Congressman
Latimer, who aspires to wear the
senatorial toga, is not near so hopeful of
McLaurin's repudiation as you appear to
be, but is most fearful and nervous as to
the outcome. His friends are already resorting
to their extremity in circulating
reports of mill and bank organization to
further McLaurin's campaign and candidacy,
hoping thereby to array laboi
against capital and the country against
the town?and incidentally to set a torch
to a powder magazine?and all for the
glory of a scheming politician !
Senator McLaurin has been gaining
strength every day since Tillman failed
by coaxing, cajoling, and pouting to induce
the legislature to repudiate his course
in the senate, and the Democracy he represents
has likewise been re-asserting
itself in the principles of the people
They are nauseated beyond measure al
Bryan ism, Populism, Altgeldism,Tillman
ism, anarchism and all other isms excepl
the old line Tilden Democracy, of whicl:
they recognize McLaurin as the exponent
There has been a remarkable revolution
in South Carolina, politically, and youi
ignorance of the changed conditions is
not to be censured, fpr the reasons thai
our people are thinking and working and
accumulating. They are not blatantly
galloping over the country electioneering
and damning every man that's got a shir:
to his name. That day has passed anc
with it the blatant, wild-eyed, calamitj
howling politician who has been a mill
stone around Democracy's neck for th(
past eight years. The status in Ohk
proved a revelation and when it come:
Suntli Cmrnlinn's time to sneak, it will bt
a 11 o less startling one to the outsidt
world hut I assure you most sineerel)
that it will he a revolution hut no revela
tion to tlio-e who keep in elose toucl
with the rapidly shifting scenes in tin
political arena for the next twelve months

Home-Grown Flowers.

whose writings on the care of plants and j
whose answers to plant questions appear I
