Railroad Avenue, Bamberg. The many friends of Dr. S. P. Rentz will be delighted to know that he has recovered from his attack of last week, and is now all right again. Not a week passes now, but that we do not get Several new subscribers. We hope they will come in until the circulation of this paper is doubled. Bamberg lodge, No. 38, Knights of Pythias, held a regular meeting last Monday evening, but no business of special importance was transacted. Thursday, November 28, is Thanksgiving Day. We hope every place of business in town will be closed that day. Let all manner of business be suspended. A new Masonic lodge is to be instituted at Denmark. There was a flourishing, lodge there several years ago, and some of the brethren there wish to revive interest in Masonry. The good roads train of the Southern Railway is to visit Greenville, and other counties in the State are making eiTorts to get it. Every effort will be made to bring it to Bamberg. The editor wants a Thanksgiving turkey. We hope one of onr subscribers will bring ns a bird. Who will be the first one to bring us a turkey for our Thauksgiving dinner?

McMillan, of the Ehrhardt section, celebrated his seventieth birthday last Saturday, and a goodly number of relatives assembled at his residence on that day for a birthday dinner. The occasion was a very pleasant one, and the many friends of the Captain and family hope he will live to celebrate many more birthdays. The sketch of the life of Mr. A. .T. Matheson, which we republish in another column, will be interesting to our readers on account of the remarkable success of a native South Carolinian in his own State and on the farm at that. It will also be interesting to them for the reason that Mr. Matheson is a brothei of Mrs. M. E. Eaves, and an uncle of Maj Havdock and Mr. D. M. Eaves and Mrs. E. D. Raney. 1 ? fli ife Ji SSStjI wfiig? MmBbT IS n? BHj taJfiSffig Oman lodge, A. F. M.. held a regular meeting last Friday evening. "We are doing lots of niee job printing these days. When you want a tirst-elass job of printing, send it to this oflice. It is said that Judge W. ('. Henet will be a candidate for the I'nited States Senate. He has announced that he will not stand for re-election as Judge. Treasurer J no. F. Folk is still out on his rounds, collecting tuxes, hut we imagine lie is not collecting enough to warrant the trouble of attending at these appointments. Next Monday is salesday, being the first Monday in the month. Two tracts I of land are advertised for sale l>y the Master. These arc the only sales to be made that day. It seems certain that Bamberg county will not have an exhibit at the Charles- j ton Exposition. We regret that such is ] the case, but our people would not take interest in the matter. Mr. Otis Brabham, of the Bamberg Nurseries, left last Monday morning to attend the State Fair, where he will have an exhibit of fruit, trees, ornamental shrubbery, flowers, etc. Cotton is still do wn in price and what it will do in the future is a problem. There is no doubt about the crop being short, but that fact does not seem to have much effect on the price. The State Fair, being held in Columbia this week, is said to be one of the most successful and largely attended in years. A good many from this section visited the fair during the week. See G. Frank Bamberg's supplement with this issue. He has just received a carload of Rock Hill buggies, and has the largest stock of vehicles, harness, etc., in this section. Give him a call. We welcome Judge Jas. F. Izlar back * 1 home after an absence ot some weess m quest of health. His numerous friends will be pleased to hear that he comes back almost entirely restored to his former health.?Orangeburg Times and Democrat. Mr. and Mrs. G. Frank Bamberg will celebrate their wooden wedding next Monday evening, November 4tli. Invitations are now out. Those who have had the pleasure of attending functions heretofore at this most hospitable home anticipate a very pleasant occasion. Protracted services are being held at the Baptist church this week. Services are held every evening at seven o'clock, and the preaching is being done by Rev. M. L. Lawson, pastor of the church. The public is cordially invited to attend the services. The meeting will continue all of this week. Tliis week is your last chance to buy one of Quattlebanm & Dannclly's prize buggies. They have only a few more to sell at their cut prices, and unless you buy theis week you will not get the advantage of the low price and cash prize they are now offering. Next week the lucky number will be published. Hon. H. C. Folk received yesterday the account sales for two bales of the Simms long staple cotton which he had shipped to Boston, Mass., for Mr. A. J. Hunter. The price obtained was 134c per pound. Mr. Folk has raised some of the same cotton himself, which he will ship. It evidently pays to plant the Simms cotton, as it will make about as much to the acre as frhe ordinary staple. When you buy a buggy, wagon, or anything else from Quattlebanm & Dannclly " mi you never have cause tor regret, i ney take care of you. We have before stated that copy of advertisements for changes must be in our hands "by Tuesday, and yet some customers continue to*send in changes on Wednesday morning, the day we go to press. We have worked hard up to now to always change the advertisements. Hereafter we cannot do so. If you want your advertisements changed, get your copy in not later than Tuesday, which ever)* one ought to be able to do. Buy the Bock Ilill buggy and you'll be pleased. G. Frank Bamberg, agent. Kitchen Grocer Case. We were mistaken last week in stating that the Kitchen Grocer case to be tried here at the December court was about the same as the Darlington case. In that case the defendants alleged that the purchaser of the notes had notice of the fraud and misrepresentation on the part of Tate, to whom the notes were given, and the demurrer admitted that fact. In the ease here there is no such allegation on the part of the defendants, it appearing that l.rtWni- r?f tlw> notes w:lS ail ill- I tile JUWUI. in/iMVi V* V..V noccnt purchaser. Buy the Rock Hill buggy anil you'll be pleased. G. Frank Bamberg, agent. Chief Gray Married. Mr. A. P. Gray, of this city, was married last Sunday to Miss Carrie Kearsc. a daughter of the late Maj. Henry Kearse, The ceremony took place at the residence of the bride's mother, in the Buford's Bridge section, and it was a very quiet wedding. Rev. John G. Beckwith, of Barnwell, was the officiating minister. Mr. and Mrs. Gray left for Columbia Monday to take in the Fair Week festivities. They will come to Bamberg in a few days and take up their residence at the Cope House. Mr. Gray has served the town as marshal for more than a year, and has made many friends here,who will gladly welcome his bride. Bamberg is getting to be quite a market for vehicles. G. Frank Bamberg sold a carriage to a gentleman near Aiken, this gentleman having been to Augusta, Barnwell and Blackville. Prices and quality will tell, and G. Frank Bamberg seems to have them both. Dropped Dead. Becky Jones, a white woman who worked in the Bamberg Cotton Mills, dropped dead last Friday morning while on her wav to the mill to go to work. Coroner A. \Y. Bessinger was notified and he empannelled a jury apd held an inquest over the body the same afternoon, the verdict being that the deceased came to her death from natural causes. She was about forty years old, and heart disease is supposed to have caused her death. G. Frank Bamberg says he can't sell buggies high enough to give away money, but he is very nearly giving away buggies | and wagons. Working for a New County. The latest new county scheme is over in the Allendale section. The people of that town want a new county, with Allendale as the county seat. The survey is now being made and we are not advised what the lines of the proposed new county are. It may be that all of the territory is to be taken from Barnwell county, or they may carve a new county from portions of Beaufort, Hampton, Colleton and Barnwell. It is probable, that an election will be held to decide whether a new county shall he established or not. No opposition to the scheme has developed as yet. Buy the Hock IIill buggy and be in the swim. <*. Frank Bamberg, agent. New Advertisements. (Jl'ATTI.Kr.AI M & OANXKI.I.Y.

In the Columbia correspondence of the News and Courier we find the following in reference to the exhibit of the Raniberg Nurseries at the State Fair: "One of the most attractive exhibits is that of the Bamberg Nursery. The nursery shows many specimens of flowers, but its cedars and ornamental plants are particularly beautiful. The Bamberg Nursery has a number of pecan trees and samples of the product of the trees that it oilers for sale." Honest Words Upon the History of an Honest Man. Some one has said: The cradle and the grave are the lids to life's grand volume and they bind its great history; in the volume are crowded incidents and experiences of childhood, the responsibilities of middle life, the mellowness and waiting of old age. We have before us now a history of fifty chapters. As I turn the leaves, upon which death has written "finis," I see recorded joys, sorrows, sunshine and shadows, trials, temptations, victories and failures! All succeeding each other rapidly. What is this chapter over among the records of manhood? The head lines are as a seal bearing the motto: "All for Christ." Through the paragraphs are plaudits from the master for honest and faithful discharging of duty. A glance on another page tells of strictly temperate habits, inobtrusiveness and reticence, conservativeness and mildness of manner. Still another and I read this recorded: "If he did uot agree, vet desired not to provoke argument, lie would smile and remain silent." I reach the fiftieth chapter; all is sadness ; the shadows are gathering; death lurks near ready to make the fatal blow. Within the limits that prescribed his abode, his influence and good impulses give fresh impetus to the scene; as a meteor reaches its zenith, then descends and fades into darkness, so ended the mission of John Blanton O'Neal. M. O. Lanier. Rock Hill buggies have more style, run lighter, and give better satisfaction than any on the market. G. F. Bamberg, agent. Ehrliardt Etchings.

Corn is hardly a half crop and cotton very little better. The harvest is almost over in this section. The next thing in view is potato digging and cane grinding; both of the above crops are fairly good, but nothingto compare with the usual crop. Rev. John G. Beckwith preached a very forcible sermon to a large audience at Mizpah last Sunday afternoon. J. Ilam Kirkland, Esq., of Bamberg, visited our neighborhood last week. Mr .T Gordon Brabham naid Barnwell a visit last week. Mr. B. J. Brabham, Jr., lias taken a position with Mr. J. A. Tobin at Barnwell. 0.

Colored Baptist Association. Editor Tiie Bamberg Herald: The colored Baptist Association, known as the Bethlehem Association, met with the McCune Branch Baptist church near Lodge, on Friday, October 25. The session is said to have been the most profitable one since its organization. On Sunday there was about one thousand people on the grounds. The Rev. G. G. Daniels preached the missionary sermon Sunday morning, which closed the program. The next session will meet with the Sunshine Baptist church, Blackville. Jno. Jones. Another Circus Wrecked. New Orleans, Oct. 20.?The Forepaugh and Sells circus, which left this city last night, collided with a freight | train near Baton Rogue today. Three j men were seriously hurt. A number of elephants got away awl after a chase were driven into Baton 1 vogue and corraled. None the the other animals escaped, although four ears loaded with cages were wrecked. Could Stand the Loss. A moneyed man of Detroit was surprised to receive a call from a rather I seedy looking chap?an entire stranger? I the other day. Having satisfied the ' guards that he was not a book agent lie ! was allowed to enter and state his busi| ness, which he had insisted, in order to i gain admittance, was important. "Well, sir?" as the worthy stepped in. "Why," was the unabashed reply, "I'd like you to indorse this note for me." The man of money examined the note critically, as he observed : "Why do you come to me? I don't know you from Adam. Why don't you go to some one you know?" "Well," was the cool reply, ''I came to you because I knew you could stand the loss better than anyone else I know of." * New County Scheme. Barnwell, October 26 ?Allendale is the next county seeking forma tion. The survey is now being made. These small, new counties are increasing expenses to taxpayers. It is impossible to carry on forty-five or fifty separate county governments with the same economy as one-half the number. If, however, the movement is successful it will be the J.'isi muiiiauon to me present roumy pos- i sible under the present law, :is no other county can he cut out without reducing the area of Barnwell below 000 square miles. The annex to the court house, to furnish room for the reords, is now being built under the supervision ofCapt. J. W. Woodward, the contractor. It will cost about $0,000. The new brick building of Mr. 0. N. Burckhaltcr is approaching completion. When completed it will be handsome and con veil i en t ly a rran ged. The "Mugwump" game chickens are migrating in considerable numbers now. Three sporting men from Mexico are said to have come to Barnwell recently and to have paid $1,100 for 125 of them. The Court will convene here on Monday, November 4, Judge Benct presiding. A number of murder cases are set for trial besides the other criminal business. Last Tuesday Maj. Willis J. Duncan brought home his bride, formerly Miss Mae Dozier, of Edgefield county. G. Frank Bamberg is not giving money away these days, but lie is saving a great many men money on the buggies they buy. He is underselling them all, and says he expects to keep it up. Name of Hampton Used by Impostor, j The State last night received a hunch of telegrams from New York offering a sensational story, of which this is a ' sample: | "Daughter Wade Hampton and hahe J found starving." A few minutes later the special cor- j respondents here began receiving messages from different sections of the country like this: j "Do you. know a daughter and grand- , daughter of Wade Hampton starving in i New York." 1 Assured that there was an impostor ' abroad, the New York story was ordered < just to see what it was, and here it is: New Yokk, Oct. 28.?Mrs. Beatrice Hampton Gordon, grandaughtcr of Gen. Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, is starving with her 1 year old baby boy in an attic in the poorest section of thiseit}\ She told a pitiable tale of mistreatmeutat the hands of her husband, who deserted i her before the birth of their son. Mrs. Gordon wants no charity. She says that she will accept any kind of respectable ' employment in order to provide herself ' and the babv, whose birth is soon expected. Several wealthy families are already talking with Mrs. Gordon through representatives and she will no doubt be employed within the next few days. j Mr. McDuffie Hampton, youngest son of Gen. Wade Hampton, was half vexed and half amused when shown the dispatches from New York alleging that a member of the Hampton family is starving in New York. The story was absurd, lie declared. He accompanied the reporter to the home of Gen. Hampton and the ' latter gave a flat denial to the story. He 1 said: "I have no granddaughter there, j My only daughter is here with me." Mr. ^IcDutlie Hampton declared that he had heard of many attempts of impostors to impersonate his brother, the late Maj. Wade Hampton. The latter s widow. Mrs. Kate Hampton, is now in New York, and was recently given let- | ters of introduction from Gen. Hampton ' to Wm. C. Whitney and President Roose- | velt. She lias no children. Gen. I Hampton's son, Mr. Alfred Hampton, lives at Eastport, Maine, but the alleged conditions cannot apply to his family. Mr. McDuftie Hampton is a ' resident of Columbia and Gen.. Hampton's only daughter is the companion of her father in his quiet home on Senate street. The alleged Mrs. Beatrice Hampton Gordon is not known here and this is no doubt another example of the family's name being used by impostors.?The State, Tuesday, October 20th. Buy the Rock Hill buggy and be in the swim. G. Frank Bamberg, agent. The woman from Mississippi, says the . Buffalo Commercial, who contributed i largely to the lively conversation and I social pleasures of an evening in Buffalo last week, said that it was hard for north- j ern people to understand the complicated J social relations of the colored people in | plantation circles. One of her colored maids came to her one day and said: '"Miss J Agnes, I'sc gwiue over to de cote house J dis afternoon to get a div'oce." Knowing | that the girl had no husband, her mistress exclaimed: "A divorce! Why, Millv, what do you mean ? You are not married. How can you be divorced*?" "Well, I , tell you, missy, I ain't married, but I'se f engaged to de preacher, an' I'se gwine to get a div'oce at de cote house." The girl went on her queer errand, and when she came back said that she didn't get a divorce because folks said that it would "scandalize de Baptises outrageous," which she was unwilling to do. Instead, she married the preacher, who, it appeared later, had a wife and family in another town in the same county. Rock Hill buggies have more style, run lighter and give better satisfaction than any on the market. G. F.Bamberg,agent. Disaster to Wild West Show. Charlotte, N. C., October 20.?One hundred and ten of the ring horses of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show were crushed to death in a railroad wreck, near Lexington, at 3 o'clock this morning. Among the horses killed was "Old Pap," Col. Cody's favorite saddle horse. "Old Eagle," the star ring horse, was killed, and his mangled body fell on top of one of the wrecked engines. The team of mules that drew the Deadwood coach were also killed. Col. Cod}' spent today at the scene of the wreck and is heartbroken over the slaughter. He says his loss is $00,000. The accident was the result of a headon collision between a fast south-bound freight train and the second section of the show train, and was due to a misunderstanding of orders. Several train hands were injured, but no one was killed. I Twelve thousand people greeted the ' Wild West Show in Charlotte yesterday and it left at midnight for Danville, \ a., where it was to have made its last stand of the season. At Danville the show was to have been disbanded and the animals sent to Bridgeport, Conn., to go into winter quarters. The show left here in three sections. Near Lexington, as the second section was going at 2o miles an hour, a fast south-bound freight train crashed into it. Both engines were wrecked. Next to the engine of the show train were two large stock cars containing the horses and this is where the slaughter occurred. The cars were smashed into a huge, distorted heap of debris and only two horses escaped alive. The scene was sickening and from the mass of wreckage blood poured in a stream that ran alongside the railroad track in a small rivulet. Col. Cody's engagement at Danville was called off in consequence of the disaster which marked the close of a very successful tour. G.

HOLDING THE WOLF BY THE EARS That's what you arc doing if you ignore t> IT.-.i. our saving in jDuggics, aguiis, n?iness, Whips, etc., as compared with those of other people. As soon as your strength gives out or rather you are closed out, you will see your disaster. But why take such chances? You get no better goods from others by paying more than you need pay us. On the contrary, you are more likely to get an inferior article, for we are very particular as to the material that goes into our BUGGIES, WAGONS, HARNESS, etc., while we keep the manufacturer up to the highest standard of workmanship, below which he knows he cannot go. It is not so long since we opened up business here, but to look at our sales, you would think we were the only people in this country selling Buggies, Wagons Harness, etc. Let us hold the wolf for you.
