Bamberg, one of our best known ami most highly esteemed citizens, died at his home in Bamberg at four o'clock, Wednesday afternoon of last week, from Blight's disease, under the sufferings of which he had for several years held up with solI dierly fortitude and unfailing cheerfulness." He was born on Three Mile Creek, in old Barnwell county, January 2-lth, 1*44, moving from that place to Bamberg with his father when but an infant of three years, where his life has been closely connected and devoted to the welfare of Bamberg town and county. Deceased was the son of W. Seaborn Bamberg, founder of the village bearing his honored name, and is survived by a sorrowing wife, two daughters and one j son, namely, Mrs. G. W. .Waddill and ' Mrs. E. L. Price, of this place, and Mr. L. F. Bamberg, of Olar. Two sisters, Misses Carrie and Laura Bamberg, and one brother. Captain W. S. Bamberg, also survive him. Deceased was educated at the Bamberg public school, Yorkvillc Military School, and at the Arsenal, Columbia. He was a veteran of the civil war, entering as a volunteer member Col. Frederick's Regiment, Company A, 2nd South Carolina Ileav}* Artillery, which did such gallant and effective work in our coast defense. And, moreover, he was a soldier whose great bravery and well trained abilities carried him, as private and officer, with unflinching step and unfailing eye, through every duty, however fraugiit with danger or beset with difficulties. He joined his regiment while still under age, in and served with : honor until the end of the war. He was a member of and for upwards of a dozen years Master of Oman Lodge, No. .18, A. F. M.

At the time of his death deceased was 1 Dispenser at this place. With a character built on the highest 5 of moral principles, with ideals that became beautiful realities, and with worth ! that was sterling, he exhibited in his J daily life the grandeur of those virtues which are found only in a kind and lov- 1 ing husband and father, a valiant soldier, ] a loyal friend, an honest business man, and a religious belief which can rob < death of every sting. By request of relatives of deceased, 1 church services were omitted, and his re- 1 mains were followed to the grave in the < old cemetery by a large concourse of rel- J atives and friends, among which were ' many of his old companions in arms. The services at the grave were conducted by Rev. M. W. Hook, pastor of the Metliodist church. ] The pall-bearers were as follows, the honorary ones being old soldiers: Honorary?Dr. J. F. Baggott, H.

Bill Singleton and Middleton Mur- { daugh, both colored, became involved in a little argument Tuesday forenoon that J ended on the brink of the grave. Pill used a pocket knife to open "hi* end of i the confiab, while "Mid" essayed a club. There had been a razor-feeling between the men for many moons, because. Mid assumes, Bill has been taking an energet- ' ie interest in some matrimonial matters away from his own fireside, So when Murder or Murdaugh or whatever his name js went to his own home at about ! ten o'clock yesterday mc.j-njng and found Singleton there of course there w as meat to cut. Singleton, on the qui vive, saw first that some butchering had to he done, so Mid avers, and in lieu of a meat axe jie pulled his trusty pocket knife. Middleton, not denning himself hog fat nor fit to kill, made a grab tof jus war plub hard by, and the slaughter was on. Singleton's first jab was direct for the solar plexus, it is feared, but Murdaugh must imvo dupkptl just in time to save himself, as he received the blow on the head, it infiictiug an ugly but maybe not painful wound. The next six or eight knife lunges must have been similarly aimed and parried as they all made huge gashes in tiie cranium that directed the club. Then Singleton, seeing that a more vital point must be assailed, made a quick play for the medulla oblongata, but Mid would not have that part of his body disfigured, so lie nearly sacrificed his left hand. He never lets his left hand know what his right hand doeth, consequently in the ne^t bout that member got ill the wayof I BiU's vmregcnevwtc knife.

The county hoard of commissioners held the regular quarterly meeting here last Monday, with Supervisor Bruce and Commissioners Kiee, Iliers. Rent/ and Fender present. A number of claims were approved as is usual at these meetings. It was decided that the county would j pay half the cost of a cooking stove at the jail, tin1 stove to remain the property of the county. AY. R. Bennett was refunded $2.(K) on . account of building a bridge, this amount ] having been fornierlv deducted from his hill. *' * ; Calvin Jones was removed from the pauper list. Hn account of the scarcity of corn and fodder, a resolution was adopted by the Iwi-ir.l nutlwwi/in1111? Supervisor to rent twenty acres <>f land, to be planted in ! >ats, to feed the chain gang mules. This . is a wise step. As the appropriation by the legislature : for the chain gang has run short last and this year, a resolution was passed instructing our representatives to have appropriated an amount sufficient to cover ixpcnses, above the $2,(KM) nowappropriited. It is estimated that the chain gang ivill cost about $2,500. The gang has )cen larger this year than ever before. Several petitions to be placed on the pauper list were presented, but all were lostponed, and applicants will be required to appear in person at the next needing.

Rice represented the defend.nt and Howell, Gruber & Bostick the lain tiff. Rock Hill buggies have more style, run ighter, and give better satisfaction than ny on the market. G. F. Bamberg, agent. Fight in* the Trnst. We publish below a letter to the Marion Star, signed by six of the most promilent farmers in that county, showing that hey arc organizing to fight the cotton eed trust, in tins connection, we ucsire o state that the Bamberg Oil Mill is not n the trust, havin g refused to enter what s known as the Cotton Seed Compact. )ur mill has shown that it will take care if the fanners by remaining an independ- ] lit mill, and those who are interested in ibtaining a fair price, should remember his and deal with the local mill. Here s the communication: "It is reported that the cotton oil mills n the State, have formed a trust, to get lie planters' cotton seed this season for a 1 wiec lixed by them. It is said that 110 ' armer can ship his seed from this point o any mill in the state without perniisioil from the Marion oil mill. The com>inal.ion is said to he complete and 110 gent is allowed to buy and ship seed rom this place to any mill in the state, 4 hercfore, 110 competition is allowed in j lie seed business. "If the report be true it is time that ] lie farmers get together and assert their . ights. They should meet at once and 1 u gani/.c to tight the trust. We therefore all a meeting of all farmers interested * o be held in court house salesday in )ctoberatll o'clock a. 111. to discuss uethods by which wo can protect our ntercsts.
