occasion was a very pleasant one, and
the many friends of the Captain and

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Bamberg Nursery at the Fair.
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.

I the other day. Having satisfied the

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.

HOUSEWORK]
Too much housework wrecks wo- B
men's nerves. And the constant n
care of children, day and night, is E
often too trying for even a strong
woman. A haggard face tells the
story of the overworked housewife A
and mother. Deranged menses, E
leucorrhcea and falling of the
womb result from overwork. R
Every housewife needs a remedy R
to regulate her menses and to
keep her sensitive female organs m
in perfect condition. S
WIHfcm MRVUII
is doing this for thousands of I
American women to-day. It cured B
Mrs. Jones and that is why sho B
writes this frank letter: B
Glendeane, Ky., Feb. 10,1001.
I am so glad that your Wine of Cardui m
is helping me. I am feeling better than
I have felt for j'ears. I am doing my
own work without any help, and I H
washed last week and was not one bit m
tired. That shows that the Wine is
doing me good. I am getting fleshier 9
than I ever was before, and sleep good M
and eat hearty. Before I began taking
W;ne of Cardui, I used to have to lay E
I down five or six times every day, but
now I do not think of lying down through I
the day. Mas. Richard Jones.

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.
