Dear Madam :?If we have the honor

that you will have told your neigh!

of any other paint to paint a house,
ft gallons of L. A M. paint mixed with 1

Captain George P. Bamberg.
j Captain George P. 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.

"""' 's1' ? o- .
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.

by Rev. M. W. Hook, pastor of the Metliodist
church. ]

A Furious Cutting Contest.
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

once attacked about the feet, so lie was
able to come to town and seek the aid of
Dr. B. 1). Bronson, who very skilfully put
Murdaugh together again on the same
architectural lines under which he had
hitherto existed. lie? was severely cut
in a dozen places about the hands, arms,
sljoulder, head and hip., and is in a somewhat
critical condition, but tl|e doctor
thinks he may recover. Murdaugh, so he
says, .lid not get in a single lick with his
club.
Itttlph Bingham.
Mr. Ralph Bingham, who has been
i heard with pleasure by our people'on two
i occasions before, gave one of his entertainments
at the Fitting School chapel
j Tuesday evening. lie told funny stories,
: recited pathetic and humorous selections,
sang funny songs,ami played on the vioi
lin, all of which seemed to delight his

County Commissioners Meet.
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.

Master's Reference.
A reference before Master T. J. Counts
vas held hero last Friday, in the case of
I. M. Dannellv vs. Esther C. Sease. It is
he matter of foreclosure of mortgage of
eal estate, and it appears that the title
>f the land is in question. The taking
>f the testimony consumed most of the
lav and the case will now go to the
Circuit Court for confirmation of the =
Master's report. Messrs. B. T. Rice and
layne F. 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

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. Let every township he rep- _
