The summer school for teachers for
this and Barnwell counties enrolled only
- twenty-seven students. Of these less
than half dozen were from Bamberg
county. If summer schools are such
good things it is strange that teachers
should be the last persons to realize it.
Col. W. A. Neal was pardoned last
week by the governor. We believe in
this instance Governor McSweeney acted
wisely. Not only was the pardon asked
for by many prominent people from all
<' I parts of the State, but the offense was
purely a techinal one. Then, too, as wc
have said before, we believe Neal's conviction
to have been largely the result of
political persecution.
With the large number of Senatorial
candidates as well as candidates for
State offices in the field, it will be
_ * absolutely impossible to have anyjpvJ
thing like a discussion of national issues
in the short time allotted to each candi>
date. If McLaurin wants the people to
; ' hear him discuss his views at any length
' next year, he had best arrange his own
meetings at every county in the State.
?
i; The Florence Times says that the poli
tics of South Carolina have always been
pure, but expects to have the point dis?^?
puted. Well, rather. If the Times does
not want to go back on Senator Tillman,
whom it is rather sweet on these days, it
had better retract the statement. That
-a- "antUmoii intn nffire bv nroclaimincr
Kp .
&.V ^that our political affairs were rotten. If
r ^ - politics for the past few years have been
pure, it might be interesting to know
what constitutes rotten politics, according
to the standard of the Times.
We understand that the Hon. D. S.
-V A. Henderson, of Aiken, who is now a can?
" didate for United States Senator, was
^ largely instrumental in having Gen.
Wade Hampton injected into the factional
fight in this State in 1890. Our
| readers will no doubt remember the
? Aiken incident, when Gen. Hampton at>
^ tempted to speak at a campaign meeting.
. In view of the fact that Mr. Henderson
i. now seems to have a strong grip on the
coat-tails of B. R. Tillman, it may be said
that he is something of a political gymnast.
S& ?
Those striking machinists in Charleston
ought to languish in jail for a while.
^ : Their conduct is simply outrageous. Two
men who live in Charleston have gone to
^5 work in the railroad shops and a detachment
of police has to escort them to and
from their work in order to prevent violence
being done them. The strikers
also congregated at the) house of the men
and made demonstrations, frightening
the female members of the family, who
appealed to the police. Men who will
act this way deserve no sympathy, but on
jjj>' the contrary should be dealt with by the
tion9 negroes have not only been lynched,
burnt, or mobbed, but all black people
have been driven away. Those citizens
who have been guilty of such 'practices
seem to be living up to the idea that the
only good negro is a dead.negro.
Bamberg is slowlvf but steadily improving,
and, iudeejf, our growth is not
so slow after alb An fact, we people in
Bamberg tiling we have the best town in
the low-country, and we have. The Carlisle
Fitting School and the graded school
leave nothing4o be desired in the way of
Ss educational facilities; our tax rate is the
lowest of aij^ town this size we know of,
Y' and w^have the liuest artesian water
anywhere. The solidity of our business
men is shown by the verj- few failures,
and tbfe several manufacturing enterprises
here aj-e doing well. The town and its
pe!>pfe are in good circumstances generally,
and we are on a sound financial
basis, while our outlook was never
brighter. Each year the trade of the
town constantly expands, and new business
territory is continually being added
to our resources. There is no better business
place anywhere than Bamberg, and
we expect to handle more cotton this
season than ever. With increased facilities
for accommodating planters, it is but
natural that cotton will be brought here
this season from hitherto unknown terri'
tory.

THE HOME HOLD CUKE.
1 An Ingenious Treatment by Which
Drunkards are Keing Cured Daily in
Spite of Themselves. No Noxious
- Doses. No Weakeuing of the Nerves.
A Pleasant and Positive Cure for the
! Liquor Habit.
ll is now generally known and underi
stood that drunkenness is a disease and
not weakness. A body tilled with poison,
and nerves completely shattered by periodical
or constant use of intoxicating
1 liquors, requires an antidote capable of
neutralizing and eradicating this poison,
and destroving the craving for intoxii
cants. Sufferers may now cure them[
selves at home without publicity or loss
of time from business by this wonderful
"Home Gold Cure" which has been per
fected after manv years of close study
' and inebriates. The faithful use according
to directions of this wonderful dis
covery is positively guaranteed to cure
the most obstinate case, no matter how
hard a drinker. Out records show the
' marvelous transformation of thousands
of drunkards into sober, industrious and
upright men.
! Wives c ure your husbands!! Children
cure your fathers!! This remedy fs in
no sense a nostrum but is a specific for
this disease only, and is so skillfully de'
vised and prepared that it is thoroughly
? soluble and pleasant to the taste, so that
it can be given in a cup of tea or coffee
> without the knowledge of the person
, taking it. Thousands of drunkards have
cured themselves with this priceless remedy,
and as many more have been cured
' and made temperate men by having the
"Cure" administered by loving friends
and relatives without their knowledge in
coffee or tea, and believe today that they
discontinued drinking of their own free
) will. I)o not wait. Do not be deluded
{ by apparent and misleading "improvement."
Drive out the disease at once
and for all time. The "Home Gold Cure"
is sold at the extremely low price of one
dollar, thus placing within reach of
everybody a treatment more effectual
t, than others costing $25 to $50. Full directions

All doctors have tried to cure catarih
by the use of powders, acid gases, inJ
halers and drugs in paste form. Their
? powders dry up the mucuous membranes
, causing them to crack open and bleed.
[ The powerful acids used in the inhalers
have antirely eaten away the same membranes
that their makers have aimed to
p cure, while pastes and ointments cannot
, reach the disease. An old and experij
enced practitioner who has for many
years made a close study and specialty of
t the treatment of catarrh, has at last perfected
a treatment which when faithfully
j used, not only relieves at once, but per>
manently cures catarrh, by removing the
cause, stopping the discharges, and curj
ing all inflammation. It is the only remedy
known to science that actually
reaches the afflicted parts. This wonderful
remedy is known as "Snuffles the
Guaranteed Catarrh Cure" and is sold at
? the extremely low price of one dollar,
. each package containing internal and ex'
ternal medicine sufficient for a full
' month's treatment and everything neces;
sary to its perfect use.
5 "Snuffles" is the only perfect catarrh
cure ever made and is now recognized as
; the only safe and positive cure for that
s annoying and disgusting disease. It cures
all inflammation quickly and permanentt

lieve hay fever or cold in the head.
Catarrh when neglected often leads to
consumption?"Snuffles" will save you if
i you use it at once. It is no ordinary

is positively guaranteed to cure catarrh
; in any form or stage if used according to

The Yorkville Enquirer very pertinently
asks: uHow many of the senatorial
candidates are there who would as lief be
elected, on Mr. McLaurin's practical platform
as on their theoretical platform ?
With how many of them is the question
E of'getting there' really more inportant
than the question of platform?" We
would like to wager that any one of them
would accept the job of United States

what it might be. Ill fact some of the

A young editor took an apartment on '
South Twelfth street The landlady ,
onld fronlrlv tr? him* "T will tell mil.
sir, that my husband is a worthless follow.
I havo to support him, and ho
sometimes comes home very late,
drank. There is no other objection to
my house." The editor said this was
no matter and thought no more of it (
until a few nights later, when a groat ,
uproar in the street awoke him. He ;
looked out of the window and saw a
man lying on the doorstep shouting ribald
things. "The husband," thought ,
the editor. "I'll go down and let him
in."
He ran forth in his pyjamas, grabbed
the husband by the neck and, Jerking
him into the hallway, proceeded to drag
him up stairs. But the man made
strong objections to this treatment He
howled oaths and abuse, kicked, struggled,
even pulled out a handful of the
young editor's hair, but this was in
vain, for the youth is strong and of a
determined mind, and he was bound
that he would do his landlady a good
turn.
He had got perhaps three parts of
the way up stairs with his burden
when two heads were poked in the dim
light over the balustrade, and the landlady's
voice said, "Why, Mr. Blank,
what are you doing?"
The editor panted as he took a fresh
hold and at the same time ducked a
sharp uppercut: "I'm bringing your
husband up, ma'am. He's drunk again,
I'm sorry to say."
From the other head on the landing
these words then Issued in a deep bass
voice: "What do you mean, young feller,
by 'drunk again? I'm this lady's
husband. That man doesn't belong
here."
Instantly realizing his mistake, the
editor dumped his charge out Into the
street again. Then ho returned and
apologized lamely to the rightful husband
for his strange words.?Philadelphia

It was on the Common that we were
walking. The mall, or boulevard, of
our Common, you know, lias various
branches leading from It In different
directions. One of these runs down
from opposite Joy street southward
across the whole length of the Common
to Boylston street. Wo called It
the long path and were fond of It.
I felt very weak Indeed, though of a
tolerably robust habit, as we came opposite
the head of this path on that
morning. I think I tried to speak
twice without making myself distinctly
audible.
At last I got eut the question, "Will
you take the long path with me?"
"Certainly," said the schoolmistress;
"with much pleasure." "Think," I
said, "before you answer. If you take
the long path with me now, I shall interpret
it that we are to part no more."
The schoolmistress stepped back, with
a sudden movement, as If an arrow
had struck her.

seats was hard by ?the one you may

"Pray, sit down," I said. "No, no," she

charmingly, "Good morning, my dears."

Tarn In at the Tables.
"Turning the tables," In the sense of
bringing a countercharge against an
accuser, has a classic origin. In the
days of Augustus Imperator a regular
craze seized the men of Rome to compete
with one another for the possession
of the costliest specimens of a certain
description of table made for the
most part of Mauritana wood inlaid
with ivory?"mensarum insanla," or table
mania, as Pliny culled it. They were
sold at most extravagant prices. When
the men accused the ladies of sumptuary
extravagance, the latter naturally
retorted by reference to the money
squandered by their lords on these tables
and so "turned the tables on them"
by throwing them metaphorically In
their teeth.

able to learn not a single easo is on
record of a butcher in this city being
afflicted with the incurable wasting of
the lungs which claims its hundreds of
thousands of victims annually.
The fact is well known among butchers
and has been often the subject of |
their comment although none of them
can give a reason for it.
"No," said a man who has swung
sides and rounds in Washington mar
ket for the last 2U years; 1 nave naa
rheumatism and typhoid fever and lots |
of other things, but nothing has ever
boon out of gear with my lungs, nnd
the same is true of every other butcher
In this town. I know nearly all of
them, and I never heard of one of them
having consumption. They don't drink
blood or take any especially good care
of themselves either. I don't know
why It should be so unless it's because
the continual inhaling of an atmosphere
of fresh meat is strengthening.
'T have often thought when hearing
of consumptives going to Colorado and
Egypt that I know of a climate nearer
home that would do the business Just
as well. If they would stay irt*thls stall
for awhile and swing meat, they would
get well quite as quickly as they would
on the top of Pike's peak."?New York
Mall and Express.
DOGS.
There are nearly 200 distinct varieties
of dogs.
Foxhounds give cry, but deerhounds
hunt In silence.
The greyhound Is the only dog which
hunts by sight
A pure bred staghound never attacks
the head of his quarry.
Only in the temperate zone is the dog
found perfect in courage and speed.
The Italian greyhound is reputed to
be the most symmetrical of all animals.
Skye terriers have been known to
jump Into the river and land hooked
flsht which they take carefully by the
back. '
Eskimo dogs are capable of drawing
a well laden sledge GO miles in a day.
Their harness is of the lightest only a
single trace and no reins.
Women Cannot Boas Each Other.
The old theory that woman Is man's
helper seems incorrigibly well founded,
says E. S. Martin In McClure's Magazine.
If the situation isn't satisfactory
to her, there Is no help for It, for the
conditions it came out of seem to be
eiernai. women may voie. xney win
be none the less man's helpers If they
do. They never will band together to
put man down and teach him his place.
They will push him ahead If they can,
they will pull him along when they
must, they will influence him enormously,
as they always have done, but 1
they will never conspire together on i
any very great scale to make him play
second fiddle. Some one has got to be i
master. Women In general will never
agree to have women bosses so long as
there are competent men for that use.
Kafir Banking.
The Kaffirs have a simple method qf
banking. Before setting out to trade
they select one of their number as
their banker and put all their money
In his bag. When an article is purchased
by any of those who are in
this combine, the price is taken by the
banker from the bag, counted several
times and then paid to the seller, after
which all the bank depositors cry out
to the banker in the presence of two
witnesses selected, "You owe me so
much." This is then repeated by the
witnesses. The general accounting
comes between the banker and his several
depositors when all the purchases
have been made, after which all the
natives go home.
Varying Values of Food.
Fourteen oysters are equal to only
one egg. Pea soup is nutritious, but to
live on it you would need a daily supply
of 24 platefuls. A purely vegetable
diet 19 too bulky, yet It may be good
for the gouty and the obese. It is true
that the Scottish peasantry, their country's
pride, are nurtured on oatmeal,
but it is liberally supplemented by
milk. Rational life is a compromise.
You want the happy mean "between
the tiger pacing its cage and the cow
lying upon the grass."?Dr. Hutchinson's
"Dietetics."
The I'aaslon*.
We say of a man who has no will
mastery, "He is ruled by his passions."
They govern him, not he them. Centuries
ago an Arab wrote, "Passion is a
tyrant which slays those whom It governs."
It is like fire, which once thoroughly
kindled can scarcely be quenched,
or like the torrent, which when it Is
swollen can no longer be restrained
with Its banks. Call him not a prisoner
who has been put in fetters by his enemy,
but rather him whose own passions
overpower him to destruction.
A Pnxxler.
TIbbetts?So you do not believe in the
emancipation of woman?
Burton?Well, it is just here. Man Is
the superior being. But how is he going
to show his superiority if woman ia
his equal? That's what I want to know.
?Boston Transcript.
A Minister's Rood Work.
"1 had a very severe attack of bilious
colir, got a boitle of Chamlterlnin'sColic,
Cholera and Diarrluua Remedy, took two
doses and was entirely cured," says Rev.
A. A. Power, of Emporia, Kan.-"My
neighbor across the street was sick for
over a week, had two or three bottles of
medicine from the doctor. He used them
for three or four days without relief, t hen
called in another doctor who treated him
f/\r Civmii mill llilll no relief. so
discharged him. I went over to sec him
the next morning. He said his bowels 1
were in a terrible fix, that they had been ;
running off so long that it was almost 1
bloody flux. 1 asked him if he had tried
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and I)iar- '
rhoea Remedy and he said, 'No.' I went
home and brought him my bottle and gave
him one dose;tohl him totake another dose i
in fifteen or twenty minutes if he did not I
find relief, but he took no more and was
entirely cured." For sale by Bamberg ]
Pharmacy. I
The laws of health require that the
bowels move once each day and one of the
penalties for violating this law is piles.
Keep your bowels regular by taking a !
dose of Chamberlain' Stomach and Liver 1
Tablets when necessary and you will
never have that severe punishment indicted
upon you. Price, 23 cents. For sale
