From the great number of mercantile establishments destroyed by fire in this . State in the past few weeks, it seems to * be very evident that some merchants are " selling out to the insurance companies. Our congratulations to Editor Gonzales, of the Columbia State on his marriage. "We have had the pleasure of an acquaintance with his charming bride for a - number of years, and she is indeed a most noble woman. Now comes the rumor from Columbia that Governor McSweeney may be a candidate for congress from this district. This is not news to us, however. There have been rumors to this effect in this county for some time, and we have been of the opinion for several months that McSweeney would be a candidate. The campaign in this neck of the woods prom< ises to be exceedingly interesting. With McSweeney from Hampton; Bellinger and Patterson or Aldrich from Barnwell; Croft or Thorpe from Aiken; Williams and Thurmond from Edgefield; with Bamberg yet to hear from, won't we have a great campaign in this district next year. All of the above have been mentioned as candidates for congress, and it is possible that there may be others not yet heard from. Let 'em come; the more the merrier, for the newspaper man will get $5 out of each one. oc. iuaiiucw u suianci lunu tuait Bamberg, will no doubt build water works, the money to be raised by bonding the town. The citizens there want protection against fire, and a destructive , conflagration in the business portion of their town a few nights ago was a fine object lesson. Bamberg should have a ^ system of waterworks. We have suffer- j ed badly by fire in the past, and yet we 1 have now absolutely no protection. The 1 chances are that we will find out later j that we are practicing poor economy. : All this talk about so-called "Commercial Democrats" leaving the Demo_ cwttin party is the veriest kind of rot, and is done by the oppents of these ideas in i order to drive men away from the move- * ment. Scores of the men who endorse the. movement are among the best citi- < ion c rtf /\nr Stofc tVrnn ivVirvm thoro arnrw* I V/l V/Ul k'VUVV^ " JUVUU VUVi V MA V **V truer patriots and Democrats?men whose < social, moral and financial fortunes are j indissolubly connected with the white ] people of South Carolina, and they will * always be found in the ranks of white j men and patriots. . igSfc ^ i Right here in Bamberg county we have ' fliP" "" spilled their blood for South 1 Carolina in the late war, and came home ' penniless when the bitter struggle was . ended. Then they took up the work of j reconstruction, and the carpet baggers 3 and mean negroes had no more bitter foes. They did good work in ridding the State of negro rule, and they will never go into the Republican party. They be- 4 . lieve in a Democracy of progress- and ] they will battle for ideas they believe to 1 be right in the Democratic party, and all : they ask is a fair deal. ! - -There is no doubt but that this is one ] of the gloomiest years the people in this i section have ever experienced, but we hope that everything will work out right j in the end. There should be a mutual , f * spirit of bear and forbear between debtor ( and creditor, and every man should at- < tempt to pay his debts. Of course there j are many who cannot pay all they owe, j but they should pay what they can. The creditor should be lenient with those who 1 show a disposition to pay, for harsh meas- ] ures in some instances make it impossible to collect anything. Let us all look to the 1 . future hopefully, for we cannot make * conditions better by grumbling and look- : ing sour.

Baker, a Confederate Vet- 1 P^PI^^ffom Beaufort, S. C., was found in < ^^t'olonial Park this morning. The man * had been murdered, probably about mid- s night. Mr. Baker was a collector for a leading grocery house and yesterday collected :fc?>00. This, however, he had turn- 1 cd over to his employers. It is the theory ' of the police that someone knew of his < collections and hoped to find the money ( on his person.

Serious trouble is reported from Clemson college. A representative of this paper has secured reliable information of an uprising of students and of an assured victory of the students. It is thought the trouble will cause one of the professors who is well known there to cease to be a member of the faculty. It seems that recently Prof. \V. S. Morrison, teacher of history. gave great offense to some members of the senior class and that the professor had become very obnoxious to many members of the student body. In a late instance some of the seniors considered themselves grossly insulted, and Cadet Lister, a football leader, organized himself into a grievance commitee and demanded an apology. An illlllllUll'U VUilt U^aiiuii ui uu ui. i >> v v. xi teacher and pupil. Prof. Morrison carried the case to the faculty and, it is claimed by the students, suppressed some of the facts. Lister was suspended. The students, particularly the senior class, were angered by this action. It happened that it was time for a meeting of trustees and the matter was brought to their attention. Notice was served in a dignified manner by the seniors that if Lister was not immediately reinstated the entire class would leave, and the juniors made a similiar announcement. It is said that the trustees ordered Lister reinstated at once and ornered Prof. Morrison to apologize to the boys, which he did. The trustees are also said to have assured the boys that they would only have to accept apology as a temporary expedient, from which it is inferred that Prof. Morrison will resign. Prof. Morrison is well known in the city and county, having been educated at Wofford and having lived at Wellford. He is a fine teacher and is generally respected. It seems, however, that he has always been somewhat severe towards his pupifs and uprisings against him by the boys have been narrowly averted several times. While superintendent of publicschools at Greenville he was attacked by i r c? a rr i rp mayor o. a. iowucs uecuuse xowncs son bad been severely whipped by the professor.?Spartanburg Journal. Newspaper Man Married. Columbia, Nov. 14.?This morning at 8 o'clock, at Manning, S. C., Mr. N. G. Gonzales and Miss Lucie Barron were married. They arrived here at 11:30 a. m. spent a few hours at the homeofCapt. W. E. Gonzales and left at 5:30 p. m. for the north. Mr. Gonzales is the editor-inchief of The State newspaper. His mother was Miss Elliott of Beaufort, and his father was Gen. Gonzalvo Gonzales, a Cuban patriot, who was Gen. Beauregard's chief-of-staff in the war between the states. Mr. Gonzales began newspaper work on the News and Courier, under Capt. F. W. Dawson, and in 1801 started The State newspaper, which, with the aid of his brothers, has become a leading southern journal. Miss Barron is the daughter of the late Col. B. Pressly Barron of Manning, a gallant soldier and an influential citizen of South Carolina. Miss Barron was, by a flattering vote elected by the legislature, last January, to take charge of the state library. Mr. Gonzales there met her and their admiration for each other soon led to an engagement. Miss Barron was a woman of strong intellectuality, and yet of gentlest and most loveable temperament. She has many admirers over the state. Jtie marriage was a very quiet affair. another account. Manning, November 14.?The distinguished editor of The State, Mr. N. G. Sonzales, and Miss Lucie Barron were married here this morning. The Rev. Dr. Reed, of the Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Columbia, performed the ceremony. This was made necessary ;>wing to the recent illness of the bride's pastor, the Rev. F. W. Gregg.

The affair w*as a very quiet one, there being no general invitations, and only ;he immediate members of the family kvere present. The presents were many md costly. The couple left on the early nornirg train and it is understood will make a trip to points North. Serious Fire in St. Matthews. St. Matthews, Nov. IS.?Today about LO o'clock a tire was discovered iu the stable loft of Mr. M. Joricky, the wind blowing quite fresh at the time, and soon ;he warehouse of Mr. G.'W. Arthur was aflame as well as other sheds and servants' quarters belonging to Mr. Joricky. At ;his juncture it was hoped the fire would t>e checked, but not so, for in less than jne hour the dwelling of Mr. Joricky and ;he store room and two warehouses of Mr. Arthur were in ashes. The vacant store adjoining the dispensary caught fire, jut was put out. At one time the bank, lispensary, the Hill hotel and the store )f Mr. A."Adlestein appeared to be doomed and were only saved by the strenuous efforts of the brave citizens, white and Mack, who fought the fire demon so valiantly that they were saved. The loss falls heavily 011 Messrs. Arthur and Joricky, both of whom carried some insurance, but not sufficient to cover mvthincr near the loss. The losses may be summed up as folows: M. Joricky, loss, $5,000, insurance |i3,150; Geo. M. Arthur, loss $:?,500, insurance $2,000; Philip Rich, loss $1,500, insurance $450. The business and improvement league committee some time siuce made a report 'avoring the bonding of the town to erect waterworks, but the proposition was opposed by a few, but this tire, near the rery centre of the business portion of the own, proves both the wisdom and necessity of waterworks and that at any reasonable cost. The fire at one time bid air to destroy the entire east side of the own, and but for the valiant work of her ntizens would doubtless have done so. The Trouble at Clemson. Mr. W. D. Evans of Cheraw yesterday leclared that the publications in regard o the affair at Clemson have been overIrawn. He is a member of the board of rnstees and was present when the six cadets appeared before the board in belalf of the senior and junior classes, rhere was no threat of leaving made by he cadets in their very respectful petiton, although they did ask that the trusees demand the resign mo n of Prof. W. >. Morrison, who is in charge of the detriment of history. After a thorough nvestigation into the matter, the board ound that it was a misunderstanding on he part of the cadets as to tlu* import of he language used by Prof. Morrison. Phe latter in the presence of the cadet ommittee declined anyl intention of beng offensive. He *liad quoted some >lirases from Sam Jones in regard to lancing, but did not intend to apply hem personally. The board did not sustain the students, is has been reported, and the rebuke: to frof. .Morrison was not so severe. The joard sustained the action of the faculty n suspending Lister or Rider, or wliat;ver the cadet's name is?Mr. Evans ;ould not recall it. To Prof. Morriso.i he board stated that he should be more careful in future as to his language. No more trouble is expected, for the rustees expressed the desire for the mater to be dropped and the committee of cadets promised to use their influence to illay all irritation. Mr. Evans says that hings are moving along smoothly at Jlemson and he regrets very much that he little bubble on the surface has been ?o magnified.?Columbia State. "Last winter an infant child of mine lad croup in a violent form," says Elder Folm W. Rogers, a christian evangelist, >f Filley, Mo. "I gave her a few doses >f Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and in a ihort time all danger was past and the hild recovered." This remedy not only) ;ures croup, but when given as soon as he first symptoms appear, will prevent he attack.

Tillman, of South Carolina, speaking to the students at Lacrosse today on "The 1 Negro Problem from the Southern Point : of View," said : "Residents in the northern states do < not realize the importance of this race question. They see but little of the negroes. who are not numerous up here to be of any account, and people up here are : given to the rising on the negro question. 1 I say they are not familiar with the eon- < ditions or they would feel like the men in the south. "The negro has in his heart a secret longing, but nearly hopeless desire, that some day may see the amalgamation of the two races. That is just what we pcot\1n e/\nt It o ro mlit rr o ito i n of fwuill .w?. UJUUUS ttgUlUOt. "You have, perhaps, heard it said that education will solve the negro problem. It will not as long as there are so many dissolute and worthless negroes in the south. Educate the negro and you leave in him the thought and belief that he is a little better than the ordinary negro, and he does not want to labor any more. You don't find educated negroes working in the fields. Then lie gets the idea of race equality with the white men. "What do I think of President Roosevelt inviting Booker T. Washington to dine with him? Just this: I can see no fair reason for it. It was not demanded on any hand. He lowered himself in the minds of the southern people by doing it Perhaps President Roosevelt saw something in the nature of the spectacular in his act. Perhaps he thought it daring and original. Personally, I believe that if President Roosevelt could undo his act, he would do so." Jumped on a Ten Penny Nail. The little daughter of Mr. J. N. Powell jumped on an inverted rake made of ten : penny nails and thrust ojie nail entirely through her foot and a second one half way thorough. Chamberlain's Pain Balm was promptly applied and five minutes i later the pain had disappeared and no i more suffering was experienced. In three days the child was wearing her shoe as usual and with absolutely no discomfort. Mr. Powell is a well known merchant of Forkland, Va. Pain Balm is an antiseptic and heals such injuries without maturation and in one third the time required by 1 tbe usual treatment. For sale by Bamberg Pharmacy. ; I A Brutal Murder. One of the most brutal murders which has occurred in this county in some time was committed at the place of Nelson ! Shaw, colored, about four miles from the city, on Saturday night. As a result of a i terrible whipping, Nathaniel Williams, a < young colored boy of 11 years of age, lies dead, and Shaw is behind the bars of the ? countv jail charged with the murder. It xi ? n 1 1 _ 1 . 1 1 _ , seems mai ?naw nau uie uoy in ins employ. He used a piece of leather, or hem- i string as a whip. The leather string had 1 two large knots tied in the end of it,mak- < ing a most cruel weapon in the hands of an infuriated man, as Shaw must have been when he administered the thrashing. ; After committing his fiendish deed, j Shaw came to the city and called on Dr. j Birnie to go out and attend the child. He j then left the city 011 the way home it ap- ( peared, but was overtaken by Sheriff Scarborough, who had been notified of the affair. He arrested Shaw and would have taken him to the scene of the crime, ?' but he was advised by Dr. Birnie and ? others not to, as quite a crowd had gather- ; ed at the house where the dead boy lay, and feeling against Shaw was running high. He sent Shaw back to the city under the custody of Officer Weeks, and ( he was placed in jail. The boy, Nathaniel Williams, was dead before Dr. Birnie reached him. At the inquest held yesterday morning, Dr. Birnie gave testimonv which, it is said, will certainly convict Shaw. The coroner's jury brought in a verdict that "Nathaniel Williams came to his death by wounds administered with a , leather strap in the hands of Nelson Shaw." The boy was found in a terrible ; condition, having been fearfully mangled ] by his fiendish assailant.?Sumter Item. 1 Reliable and Gentle. "A pill's a pill," says the saw.

The leading regiment of our column was the Fifty-third, commanded that day by Major Pf.yn, afterward General Sir William Payn, K. C. B., a very fine regiment, who, being mostly Irishmen, were eager to meet their enemy. Meanwhile I received orders to cross the river by a ford and get round the enemy's right flank, and I had gone for this purpose and was crossing about a quarter of a mile lower down, when suddenly. I heard loud cheering and a heavy musketry fire, and then I saw our troops gallantly advancing across the bridge to the assault. It turned out to be the Fifty-third, who, tired of the delay under fire and, It was whispered, hearing that Sir Colin had sent for his pet highlanders to take the bridge, took their bits between their teeth and without any further orders determined to rush the tVomoolroa thov flfpni'd ingly did, and with great success. The enemy, once forced out of their position, showed but a poor, desultory fight and, as at Cawnpur, fell an easy prey to the cavalry, who, having crossed, some by the bridge and others, including myself, by the ford, fell on them and pursued them with such success that we captured every gun they had. The Fifty-third were well pleased with themselves and the result of the fight they had so suddenly initiated, but we heard that Sir Colin was greatly annoyed with them and after the action rated them soundly for their Insubordination. But little did these wild Irishmen care. They had had their fight, and a real good one, so far as they were concerned, and as Sir Colin concluded his speech of rebuke they gave him three cheers, and giving three cheers more for General Mansfield, Sir Colin's chief of staff, who bad formerly commanded their regiment, they quite upset the chief's equanimity, but at the same time cleared away his wrath.?"Old Memories."
