At last we see that the cotton seed oil mills which are in the trust are to be prosecuted. We are glad to see this action taken, and hope that it will result in the breaking up of the trust. While on this matter, we will state that the Bamberg oil is not in the trust, and has never been. The recommendations of the grand jury are important, and should be heeded by " - . our representatives in the general assembly, The law providing that road overgo seers shall receive pay should never have been passed, and we hope our rcpresenta*. tives will kill it as far as Bamberg COUnJS . ? ty is concerned, at least. Booker Washington, the negro edu cator, who recently dined with President Roosevelt at the White House, was re|jk ' fused accommodations at three hotels in I Springfield, Mass., last week. What's the matter with Massachusetts? We were "of the opinion that the people of that State were great negro lovers. It seems that the county will owe every cent of the money received from the "present collection of taxes, which bears out the assertion we have made before that i; it will take at least a six mills levy next year to put the county out of debt. If the leaks could be stopped three mills, with the revenue received from the dis| pensary, will be sufficient to run the county we think, but we should pay up the - hack indebtedness and run on a cash basis. - The good people of Ehrhardt are making efforts to have the Seaboard Air Line build its proposed road from Augusta to Charleston by that progressive little town. The survey locates the line only three miles away, and it is believed that, as the distance is so small, the road can be in}} duced to tap Ehrhardt. We wish our ? ~ friends success in their efforts. This road would be a great advantage to them, and they should leave no stone unturned to jjjppk get it. * If Ehrhardt gets the new railroad, then our people should make efforts to have a branch line built from Bamberg to Ehr Ip::-' hardt. This would give us connection with the Plant System and the Seaboard Air Line, which would give us all the railroad facilities we need. Then, too, Bamberg ought to be in close touch with the good people of that section. To our ~ mind it is one of the best sections of Bamberg county. The people are progressive, intelligent, and enterprising. 3 ' They make good crops and pay their debts, and they always have money ahead ?most of them. The reason we did not reply to our good old brother Holmes, of the Barnwell Peopie, last week was, we did not know* but that there would be another chapter from -- him, but we seem to have drawn all of his fire. Now, we don't want to attack a dei fenceless man, who has nothing to defend himself with", and we shall be very brief. ,' Our good brother has wandered into many and devious paths in this discussion, and when at last he comes back to the point at issue, repeats his statement of a few weeks ago, to the effect that the people of Anderson county were "benighted" be cause mey suppuseuiy euuuiac mc | * of Senator McLaurin, and that Josh t > Ashley is "boss" there because the people vote for him almost unanimously when be offers for office. Even if it be true that the Anderson people are followers of McLaurin and are "bossed" by Josh Ashley, our friend has signally failed to prove his assertion that they are "benighted." The word means to be in darkness, and as many of the most prominent, influential, and intelligent citizens of the State endorse McLaurin's ideas, we hardly think our friend's expression the correct one. In fact, this doctrine is new, and those M ho endorse it have studied the question and emerged from the political darkness in which they have heretofore been enshrouded and come out into the light of practical politics?ideas which they have come to the conclusion will be of benefit to the State and its people, leaving behind the old fogyism and threadbare, worn-out dogmas of designing politicians M ho would keep them in darkness in order that they might continue in office. HoM ever, the fact that Anderson's neonlo endorse McLaurin's views remains to be seen, and Josh Ashley may not next year measure up to Bro. Holmes's idea of a "boss." "We see he is to run for the State Senate next year. But, does electing a man to office constitute him "boss" of a countv? We hardly think. But while on this subject we want to say that we have been informed by prominent members of the legislature that Josh Ashley is one of the most influential members of the. general assembly. Plain and uncultured though he is, his good common sense and keen insight into public affairs is -recognized by that body, and as a consequence his inlluence is considerable. But, there, there; we bardly intended to eulogize "Citizen ? - Josh" as a stateman. However, the whole thing seems to have sifted down to a mere matter of opinion. Bro. Holmes . thinks people who endorse these new ' ideas in politics arc "benighted." On our part, we think it shows the highest order of intelligence, anil in this respect we are of the opinion that we paid the people of Barnwell county a high compliment in saying 'hat they were equally as intelligent as the people of Anderson. So, here's u> you, Bro. Holmes. We have enjoyed our little bout with you. You have l>cen uniformly kind and courteous ?when your pistol missed fire you have not tried to knock us down with the butt end of it?but you are "sot in your ways." If you had some sweet woman to look after you and "boss" you around occasional ly, we might hope to do something with you, but old bachelors are inCorrigible. The reply of the Edgefield Advertiser to our charge that it had reproduced one of our editorials without giving proper credit, is amusing. It squirms around and while admitting that it was guilty, seems to insinuate that we had used the article from another paper. If it did mean to charge us with using another article as original, the statement is a lie. We never saw the article it referred to. The remainder of its reply is not worthy i>f notice, and shows that some sap-headed fool, and not Mr. Adams, is the author ?evidently a young upstart who hasn't breeding or sense enough to know better, whom we will not notice further. The Cotton Market. Cotton still has an upward tendency. It is selling in Bamberg to-day for ? cents, and the receipts of the week have beeu three hundred bales aud upwards. Prices of country produce remain about the same as quoted in a recent issue. Coroner's Inquest. Coroner A. W. Bessinger empannelled a jury Wednesday afternoon of last week and held an inquest over the body of Thomas Hyatt, the young white man who committed suicide by taking laudanum the night before. We have heard some suspicions of foul play, but nothing of the kind was brought out at the inquest, and the jury rendered a verdict to the effect that it was a case of self-destruction. It appeared that he was deeply in love with a girl who had grown cold in her feelings toward him, and this is what drove him to commit suicide. The body was buried at the old cemetery last Thursday afternoon. Holiday Kates.

He did not come to breakfast, but no suspicion that anything was the matter occurred to any one until about 11 o'clock, when as he had not left his room an attempt was made to enter the room. The outside doors were locked, but an entrance was effected by ' HP Kn ^ aat t a pUSHlUg lIXC tLO uuu x uc wv iAik> bedroom was also found locked, and entrance was made through his bathroom. Mr. Jordan was found lying on his side in bed cold in death. Major and Mrs. H. G. Hartzog and E. C. Rice, who have rooms in the same apartments, were the ones who found him. Mr. Jordan was lying partly on his side andNpartly on his back, with his right hand extended across the bed and with his left hand pressing over his heart. Physicians were immediately summoned. Dr. E. M. Dibble was the first to arrive. He was quickly followed by Drs. G. P. Neel, R. B. Ep'ting and B. W. Cobb. But their skill could be of no avail. In their opinion Mr. Jordan had been dead many hours. The bed clothes were not at all rumpled,and from all appearances Mr. Jordan had not been in bed long when death came. The physicians state that cerebral hemorrhage * was the cause of his death, and this was returned by the coroner's jury as the cause of his death. Dr. Neel stated that this hemorrhage was superinduced by Bright's disease. D. A, P. Jordan, or Parker Jordan as he was familiarly known, was one of the most prominent business men in upper South Carolina. At the time of his death he was president of the Grendel mills of Greenwood, vice president of the City bank, and a director in nearly every business enterprise in the city. lie was also one of the directors of the Charleston and Western Carolina railroad.

Axdekson, Dec. 8.?Late yesterday afternoon Oliver Green, a negro about 20 years old, committed a criminal assault upon Miss Rebecca Ann Kelley, a maiden lady about 55 years old, who lived alone in a house about two miles above Belton in this county. The negro accomplished his purpose. The lady's face and shoulder were horribly bruised and a piece of flesh was almost severed from her arm by the negro's teeth. Deputy Sheriff Dillingham was notified by 'phone of the crime about two hours afier its occurrence and went at once to the scene with his blood hound. The dog struck a trail at the house and followed it directly to a negro ** f ^ A 7^! cabin about two miles uisiani. rive negroes were arrested and carried before Miss Kelly, wlio promptly identified Greer as her assailant, A large crowd had collected and they were determined to lynch the negro, but the officer succeeded in eluding them and brought his prisoner here through the country and lauded him in jail about daylight this morning. There is no anticipation now of an attempt to take the prisoner from the jail but if the crowd had gotten hold of the negro last night there would undoubtedly have been another lynching in this county. The negro has talked but little but has practically admitted his guilt. Miss Kelley, the victim, is said to be in a very serious condition. Last spring her home was broken into at night and an unsuccessful attempt at assault was made. Since then she lias spent the nights with a neighbor, staving at her own home only in daytime. It is thought that the negro now in juil is guilty of that crime also. In Line with Instructions.

While some boys of tender years were playing a game of foot ball near Lin wood avenue a few days ago, Earl Pay, a centre rush, was knocked down and breathless by John D. Crittenden, a grandson of Gov. Crittenden. It alarmed John for a few seconds as Earl lay breathless and motionless. John, with that quickness of thought of the boy, concluded as the breath was knocked out of him the next thing was to get it back. So he and John Cockrell put one end of a rubber tube of a bicycle pump in his mouth and soon pumped him full. Cockrell held Earl's lips close together so the air could not escape. Young Pay came fro 111 the operating table some larger about the diaphragm as he was chock full of air, but be soon got ri<l of the excess and lie again entered the game as gay as a spring colt.

The dust and hair finally revealed a solitary figure leisurely plowingmp the hard soil with his snout. Two of the dogs have voluntarily left a good home, and the rest of them wear a hunted, troubled look and can't bear the sound of machinery.
