The Next Governor.
Capt. D. C. Heyward, of Walterboro, a
leading candidate for governor, paid a
visit to Sumter last week, and here is what
the papers there have to say about him:
Capt. D. C. Heyward, of Colleton, who
. is a leading candidate for Governor, was
"V warmly welcomed in Sumter this week.
. Tnose who knew him before his last trip
here had high*esteem for him on account
of his many attractive and magnetic
qualities?and the new friends which he
made share in this feeling. Capt. Heyward
is eminently qualified for the high
offices to which he aspires, being a close
student of public affairs, and a wise and
level-headed man of business. He has
been a farmer all his life, and has made a
success of it. He has never aspired to
office before, but the knowing ones declare
that the man who beats Heyward
will be the next Governor. Certainly, no
better man coma De cnosen, nor one who
would wear the honor more worthily.
} Heyward is our choice against all present
or prospective entries?Sumter Herald.
Mr. D. C. Heyward, who was in the city
to attend the annual banquet of Gamecock
Lodge, K. of P., has many friends in
Sumter and he is the favorite in the race
for Governor. He does not visit Sumter
often enough to please his friends, but
when he moves up to Columbia next
January he will not have distance as an
excuse for not coming oftener.?Watchman
and Southron.
Mr. D. C. Heyward, of Walterboro, is
undoubtedly forging rapidly to the front
as a candidate for governor. Being a
farmer, a polished gentleman, and claiming
no military or political title, he starts
Ms political career under very enviable
circumstances, and if he should reach the
goal of his ambition the people will have
an able,, conscientious and non-factional
chief executive.?Sumter Freeman.
Mr. I). C. Heyward, of Walterboro,
spent several days in town this week, getting
acquainted "and making friends of all
whom he met. He is a candidate for the
governorship, and his prospects here are
certainly bright and promising.?Sumter
- Freeman.

took place here in the Methodist church,
the contracting parties being Mr. J. Wescoat

ony was performed by Rev. E. M. McKissick.
The church was beautifully decorated
by loving friends of the bride with
palms, ivy, and roses. The wedding march
was played by Dr. Peete. The ushers were
Masters Earl Dukes and Bennie Williams.
Promptly at eight o'clock the bridal party
arrived at the church. The first to enter
were the two little pages, Masters Dallie
Evans and Johnnie Heape, who rang the
wedding bell, then followed the flower
girls, little Misses Alice Evans and Lizzie
Dukes, dressed in white organdie trimmed
in white satin ribbon. Then came
the waiters as follows: Mr. J. H.
Evans with Miss MaggieBlack; Mr. J. B.
Black with Miss Annie Cooner; Mr. L.
D. Fairey with Miss Sallie Ga'ris; Mr.
Oscar Kearse with Miss Eva Bi uce; Mr.
Frank Felder with Miss Lamb Mims; Mr.
G. W. Jenny with Miss Harley Able.
Then came the groom with his best man,
Mr. A. S. Hair, and the bride leaning on
the arm of her sister, Miss Jennie Evans,
maid of honor. The bridesmaids formed
an arch with their bouquets for the bride
and groom to pass through. The bride
wore an elegant dress of white point de
sprit over cream silk, with orange blossoms
in her hair; her veil was looped
back with a handsome diamond pin; she
carried a bouquet of lillies of the valley.
The bride's maids were beautifully dressed
in white organdie, which was elabor0
ately trimmed in white satin ribbon, and
carried boquets of pink chrysanthemums.
The maid of honor also wore a dress of
white organdie and satin; she carried a
bouquet of white chrysanthemums. After
the ceremony the bridal party, with a
host of the bride and groom's friends and
relatives, repaired to the home of the bride
where an elegant supper was served.
The presents were numerous and handsome.
Mr. Black is one of Branchville's
most wide-awake young men, while Miss
Evans is admired and loved by all who
know her. We wish for them God's
richest blessings, happiness and prosperity.
On Sunday night of the 5th instant,
Rev. Mr. Vaughn gave a temperance lecture
here in the Methodist church which
every one present enjoyed very much,
until the close of the lecture, when the
alarm of fire was given, and to the as?
tonishment of all, it was the store of Mr.
S. S. Byrd. The flames were bursting
through the shingles when first discovered
; very little of the goods were saved.
The loss is a heavy one to both Mr. Byrd
and Dr. M. S. Gressett, whose drug store
and stock of medicine was badly damaged.
The fire is supposed to be the work
of rats.
On last Tuesday evening Rev. Mr.
Frierson met with a severe pounding at
the parsonage, and on Friday evening the
Baptist minister, Rev. Mr. Smith, met
with the same fate at the home of Mr. J.
R. Hamilton.
Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Roberts and Mr. and
Mrs. A. C. Reynolds, of Ehrliardt; Mr.
and Miss Able, of St. Matthews; and
Miss Bessie Lee Black, of Bamberg, attended
the Black-Evans wedding last
week.
Mr. J. Robbie Bruce, formerly of this
place, but now of Charleston, is on a visit
to his parents.
Mrs. H. Slauchberg and little sou, Leon,
are on a visit to the former's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Jacob Karesh.
Mrs. G. W. Baxter and little son, Aubrey,
of Denmark, visited relatives here
last week.
Miss Lamb Minis, after visiting relatives
in Manning, has returned to her post of
duty.

school education is required. Salaries
at appointment vary fiom $660 to
$1200 a year with liberal promotions
afterward. Politics is not considered.
There is less competition in the southern
states than in other parts of the country.

"Well, John, why in the world do you
stay on the farm? Why, if I had as good
use of my tongue as you have of yours I
should not make another crop." Thus
spoke an old time friend of the writer not
long ago. In answer to his question I
simply said, "Because I love to farm."
But, after all, is it not well to ask this
question again and yet again: Why do
I farm? Why do I love the farm? Or
why does any one farm? Are you a
farmer? If so, will you pause and seriously
answer why.
Farming is the business of a life time.
One year, nor ten years, is long enough
time to tell whether a practical farmer is
a success or a failure. And just here is
where thousands of people make a great
mistake. Because a man does not bring
a good living and a neat sum of cash out
of his business on the farm at the end of
each year, they conclude that he is a
failure. Is money the only thing in this
life? No, there are many things to be
sought after that are more valuable than
mere money. The greatest mistake a
fanner can make is to try to measure the
results of his work by the dollar.
Farmer A. plants cotton for the money
he hopes to get out of it. B. grows corn
and hogs for money. And C. raises hay
and cattle for money. While D. keeps a
store, E. runs a bank, &c., for money. Oh,
? ? ? - ATT mArtATT A V* f\
yes; us uiuucj, luuutj, uiuu^. ^.uu
everywhere you go you hear them talking
about cotton as the greatest money crop
for the South, corn as the money crop of
the North, and wheat to till the purses of
the prairie farmer in the West. But all
this makes me tired and sad, and I wonder
who is going to raise a large crop of solid
contentment. Where are the farmers
that are farming because they love the
quiet, home life of the farm? I feel lonesome,
and should just like to read a few
good letters from some of these good oldfashioned
farmers who farm because they
love to farm. Life is what we make it.
To some this may appear to be a very
singular if not extravagant statement.
You look upon this life and this world
and you derive from them it may be a very
different impression. You see "the earth
perhaps only as a collection of blind, obdurate,
inexorable elements and powers.
You look upon the mountains that stand
fast forever. You look upon the seas that
roll upon every shore their ceaseless tides.
You walk through the annual round of
the seasons; all things seem to be fixed:
summer and winter, seed-time and harvest,
growth and decay, and so they are.
But does not the mind spread its own hue
over all these scenes? Does not the the
cheerful man make a cheerful world?
Does not the sorrowing man make a
.1 ^
gloomy wunu: i/ucs uui cvci> iiimu
make its own world? Does it not, as if
indeed a portion of the Divinity were imparted
to it, almost create the scene
around it? Its power, in fact, scarcely
falls short of thejtbeory of those philosophers
who have supposed that the world
had no existence at all, but in our own
minds. So again with regard to human
life. It seems to many probably unconscious
as they are of the mutual and moral
powers which control it as if it were
made up of fixed conditions and of immense
and impassable distinctions, but
upon all conditions presses down one impartial
law, to all situations, to all fortunes,
high or low, the mind gives their
character. They are in effect not what
they are in themselves, but what they are
to the feelings of their possessors. The
king upon his throne and amidst his court
may be a man, degraded, miserable man,
a slave to ambition to voluptuousness, to
fear, to every low passion. The peasant
in his cottage may be the real monarch,
the moral master of his fate, the free and
lofty being more than a prince in his happiness,
more than a king in honor, and
shall the mere names which these men
bear blind us to the actual position which
they occupy amidst God's creation? No,
beneath the all-powerful law of the heart
the master is often the slave, and the
slaver is the master. It is the same creation
upon which the eyes of the cheerful
and the melancholy man are fixed, yet
how different are the aspects which* it
bears to them. To the eye of one it is all
beauty and gladness, the* waves the ocean
roll in light and the mountains are covered
with day. It seems to him as if life
went forth rejoicing upon every bright
wave and every shining bough shaken in
the breeze. It seems as if there were
more than the eye seeth, a presence of deep
joy among the hills and the valleys and
UDon the bri?rht waters. But the irloomv
man, stricken and sad at heart, stands
idly or mournfully gazing at the same
scene, and what is it to him? The very
light, bright effluence of bright essence
incarnate; yea,the very light seems to him
as a leaden pall thrown over the face of
nature. All things wear to his eye a dull,
dim and sickly aspect. The great train
of seasons are passing before him, but he
sighs and turns away as if it were a train
of a funeral procession, and he wonders
within himself at the poetic representations
and sentimental rhapsodies that are
vanished upon a world so utterly miserable.
Here there are two different worlds in
which these two classes of beings live, and
they are formed and made what they are
outof the very same scenes only by different
states of mind in the beholders.
The eye maketh that which it looks upon.
The ear niaketh its own melodies or discords.
The world without reflects the
world within. John M. Hunter.

Notes from Bamberg.
It is delightful to read from week to
week the cheering notes from the various
sections of the State of the encouragement,
success, ?fcc., the brethren mrt with.
If as true pastors we are interested in all
the work, you will doubtless be glad to
hear something from us.
Two months ago I entered upon the
work here, and to say that it has been
pleasant is to express it feebly. We have
a membership of 2:>0?charmiug co-laborers
they are?who exert themselves on all
occasions for the development of higher
Christian living. Signs of advancement
are on every side. Consecrated determination
to meet the demands of another
year are evident. Sunday services largely
attended, devout worship, liberal contributions.
We are proud of our Sunday school and
justly so. It is composed of both young
and old, unlike many where the young
only attend. Let all insist more upon
bavins? teachers who teach, and students
who study. The success of our Sunday
school is due in a large measure to the
efficiency of our superintendent, Capt.
Hunter.
The B. Y. P. U. lias been reorganized
aud almost all the young people have
sought enrollment, and from it we expect
glorious results. The question of reaching
the young members is the important
question. Mr. J. F. Hunter and Miss
Jennie Felder are president and secretary,
respectively.
Many of the mill people have been induced
to identify themselves with our
church who have neglected their church
duties heretofore. Bro. S. P. Koon rendered
the pastor valuable assistance
among them.
I came to South Carolina just in time
to attend the Barnwell Association. It
was a blessing, a supreme delight, to
mingle with so many of the great and
good. Then came the Convention. It
was a big meeting and made me think of
Georgia, where the hearts of all South
Carolina Baptists were made to rejoice
and where the Lord was honored.
I cannot refrain from singiugthe praises
of my own people, who have almost every
da}' since I came reminded me of their
love and confidence. My family shall
never forget the way in which they divided
the abundance of their good things.
Poundings are so nice! I thank God and
take courage for being permitted to live
among so princely a people.
Bro. Burts came down fifth Sunday and
preached two excellent sermons. The
Bamberg saints like good preaching aud
would be glad to have him make his visits
oftener.

Caused by Friction.
"I hope there will be no friction," said

Sherman the other day, according
to the Washington correspondence of the

"Friction?" said Sherman. "Did you
ever hear of the farmer up in the Mohawk
Valley whose barn burned down
and who could not collect from the insurance
company?"
"I come from the Genesee Valley, where
such things do not happen," said Wadsworth,
gravely.
"Huh!" retorted Sherman. "I'll tell it,
anyway. The farmer went to the office of
the insurance company and demanded his
money.".
"Nothing doing," said the manager.
"The fire was caused by friction, and friction
doesn't go."
"Friction!" expostulated the farmer,
"no such thing."
"Oh, yes," and the manager smiled
grimly. "It was the friction caused by
rubbing a $3,000 policy against a $2,000
barn."

when I got home with it the poor baby
could hardly breathe. I gave the medicine
as directed every ten minutes until
he "threw up" and then I thought sure
he was going to choko to c eath. We had
to pull the phlegm out of his mouth in

I had not got that bottle o:? cough medicine,
my boy would not be on earth today.

Last of Kentucky Hatllolds.
A Globe, Arizona, speci il says:
Bob Hatrield, who called himself the
last survivor of the Hatiield family of
Kentucky, met a violent death at Troy
mining camp, fourteen miles from Globe,
in the mountains.
Hatneia nan oeen Grinning ana naa
been abusing bis wife. She, in fear for
her life, appealed to the camp officer, John
Devine.
Hatfield heard of the complaint, and sent
Devine a message that he would execute
the warrant at his peril. Devine provided
himself with a Winchester and started
on his errand.
When he arrived at the Hatfield cabin
its owner was found in the path outside.
Devine called upon him to hold up his
hands. Instead of doing so Hatfield
reached for his revolver. Devine then
dropped him with a bullet which struck
just above the heart.
The officer's course was emphatically
commended by the residents of the camp
and by the Coroner's jury that sat on the
case. The jury further found that Hatfield
was twenty-seven years old and that his
birthplace was Pineville, Ky. He had
been employed around Globe as a miner
for about a year.

A Good Recommendation.
"I have noticed that the sale on Chamberlain's
Stomach & Liver Tablets is almost
invariably to those who have once used
them," says Mr. J. H. Weber, a prominent

recommendation could any medicine have
than for people to call for it when again
in need of such a remedy? Try them
I when you feel dull after eating, when you
have a bad taste in your mouth, feel bilious,
have no appetite or when troubled
with constipation, and you are certain to
be delighted with the prompt relief which
they afford. For sale by Bamberg

The little daughter of a man who had
been chosen for jury duty in London the
other day went to the judge and said:
"Please, sir, father can't come; he can't
put on his boots." The judge asked the
nervous little creature what was the matter
with her father. Her hesitation showed
that she had not been sufficiently eauiD
ped for the complete- deception' of the
1 wary official. He repeated his question.
''Well, sir," she said, looking straight into
the judge's twinkling eyes, "father
don't wear boots; he's got wooden legs?
I wasn't told to tell you anything else, sir"
that's all."
"Some time ago my daughter caught a
severe cold. She complained of paius in

this remedy iu my family for the past
seven years and have never known it to
fail," says James Prendergast, merchant,
Annato Bay, Jamaica, West India Isl inds.
The pains in the chest indicated an approaching
attack of pneumonia, which in
this instance was undoubtedly warded off
by Chamberlain's Cough itemedy. It
counteracts any tendency of a cold toward
pneumonia. Sold by Bamberg

Had Charge of the School.
The Buffalo Commercial relates that
the principal of one of the East Side
schools had occasion to visit one of the

proceeded to ask the little folks a few
questions. "What is your teacher's name?"
The answer was correctly given. "What
is the name of the principal of this
school?" Correctagain. "Now, children,
you know in a city like Buffalo there are
a great many schools. Who has charge
of all of them?" This was a poser, f inally
one little girl raised her hand.
"Well who has charge of all the public
schools in Buffalo?" asked the principal.

very positively.

The Tower of David.
Ira D. Sankey, in an interesting article
of his trip through Palestine, which appears
in the February Delineator, gives
an entertaining description of the Holy
Land as he saw it. Conc erning the Tower
of David, he says: "From the top we behold
one of the grandest and most interesting
sights to be witnessed anywhere in
the world. At our feet lay the city, with
its narrow streets, its mosques, its domes,
and temples; and bejond its massive
walls, we could see Getiisemaue, Calvary
and Olivet; th6 valley of Jehosaphat,the
vale of Kedron and the barren hills that
surround the city. In the far distance to

Don't Live Together.
Constipation and health never go together.
De Witt's Little Early Risers promote
easy action of the bowels without
distress. "I have been troubled with
costiveness nine years," says J. O. Greene

but Little Early Risers give b?st
results " Bamberg Pharmacy, and A. C,

It Girdles the Globe.
The fame of Bucklen's Arnica Salve, as
the best in the world, extends round the
earth. It's the one perfect healer of cuts,
corns, burns, bruises, sores, scalds, boils,
ulcers, felons, aches, pains and all skin
eruptions. Only infallible pile cure. 2oc

Child Worth Millions.
"My child is worth millions to me," says
Mrs. Mary Bird, of Ilarrisburg, Pa., "yet
I would have lost her by croup had I not
purchased a bottle of One Minute Cough
Cure." One Minute Cough Cure is sure
cure for coughs, croup and throat and
lung troubles. An absolutely safe cough
cure which acts immediately. The youngest
child can take it with entire safety.
The little ones like the taste and remember
how often it helped them.Every family
should have a bottle of One Minute Cough
Cure handy. At this season especially it
may be needed suddenly. Bamberg Pharmacy

A man was afraid of thunder and crawled
into a hollow log as a place of safety,
says a truthful exchange. The thunder
roared and the raiu poured down in torrents.
The log began to swell and the
poor fellow was wedged in. Past sins
began passing before him. Suddenly he
remembered he had not paid his subscription
and then he felt so small that he
was able to back l ight out.
Blown to Atoms.
The old idea that the body sometimes
needs a powerful, drastic, purgative pill
has been exploded ; for Dr. King's New
Life Pills, which are perfectly harmless
gently stimulate liver and bowels to expel
poisonous matter, cleanse the system and
absolutely cure constipation and sick
headache. Only 25c at Tlios. Black and
