Frank Bam| berg's for one dollar. Notice Quattlebaum 4 Dannelly^s change of adv. and profit by their teachings. Mr. J. K. Blackman has assumed edi-1 torial control of the Greenville News. WiUiclay on the sandy streets of town, we will have streets which will be a delight to drive over. Buy the Rock Hill buggy and have an up-to-date job. They areThe "real stuff." 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. * ~ vm - - - - - -A note from Mr. Thos. Clayton, church clerk, informs us that the new Colston Baptist church will be dedicated on the 18th instant (third Sunday.) A cordial invitation is extended to all to attend. 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 appropriate a like amount for a county exhibit, provided the balance of the county would raise $200 for this purpose.

If you have a boy or girl to educate, you should investigate the merits of the Carlisle Fitting School at Bamberg. This is essentially a Christian school, and the training along educational and moral lines is excellent. G. FRANK BAMBERG. Notice the change in G. Frank Bamberg's advertisement. He is offering the famous Rock Hill buggies at reduced prices. QUATTLEBAUM & DAN-NELLY. If you need a good buggy for a little money, be sure to call on Quattlebaum & Dannelly before you buy. They have a nice, bran new lot of Old Virginias and Hackneys that they are selling for less than any other dealer ever thought of. The price is too cheap to mention. Go to see them; they will sell you one for cash or on time. MODERN GINNERY. Attention is directed to the advertise-1 ment of the Cotton Oil Company in this | issue. Its ginnery is read}' to operate, and you can get your cotton ginned for I sixty cents per bale and have baggingand ties furnished at wholesale cost. The system of gins is the latest and most improvj ed, and you can be served promptly. A. C. REYNOLDS. Reynolds's change of advertisement will interest you.

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. Dispenser's Reports.

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, M. B. McSweeney, Governor. j News From Olar. j Olar, August G.?After an illness of about three weeks Mrs. Mew, of Garnett, S. C., passed to her reward Sunday mornI imr :it 5 o'clock. She was on a visit to | the family of Dr. N. F. Kirkland, Jr. Her i remains were taken back to Garnett for i burial. Married, Sunday morning, 4th instant, ! at the residence of Mr. John Smith, Mr. Harry Drawdy, of Govau, to Mrs. Olar I Crompton, widow of J. C. Crompton, deceased. Rev. J. H. Wilson performed the ceremony. Watermelon season is about over, and the most of our farmers received handsome prices. Mrs. Slornie Dillon, of Dillon, S. C., is visiting relatives near here. Miss Kittie Hooton has returned from her home in Augusta, Ga., and has taken charge of the Chitty school. Miss Donie Kearse, of Allendale, is visiting friends in town this week. Mr. G. J.

"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 *1.:.. o.m.nw.r " lui l-rw.M- llim I. Lll> MUIUUti II uu nilbn uiiu . To the timid youth who is sprouting his first mustache and experiences his first soft feelings for his darling Mary, let me suggest that he learns how Major Jones gave himself to his girl. This is a great peach section. The lucious fruit is in full blast, shipments are made daily at a dollar and seventy five cents a crate. The enterprisingfarmers engaged in this industry have provided their homes with 'phones, bringing them in touch with the outside world. M. O. Laniek. 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." Late Literary j>ews. 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 ("Q.") pathetic little tale cannot fail te 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. | Don't be satisfied with temporary relief from indigestion. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure permanently and completely removes this complaint. It relieves permanently because it allows the tired stomach perfect rest. Dieting won't rest the stomach. Nature receives supplies from the food | we eat. The sensible way to help the stomach is to use Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, which digests what you eat and can't help but do you good. Bamberg Pharmacy. 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.
