The total receipts of cotton at the various
ports for the crop of 1901-'02 is less
than seven million bales. This looks like
those who arc saying that cotton will go
? to over ten cents are correct, that is, if a
j|g short crop means higher prices.
Senator J. K. Jonesf chairman of the
i National Democratic executive coinmittee,
was defeated for re-election as Senator
at the Democratic primary held in Arkansas
last week. The people evidently could
not stomach his connection with the cotton
bale trust.
Some Northern and Western people
pretend to love the negro, and recognize
him as a social equal, but whenever the
crime of rape is committed on a white
woman by one of these black brutes, he is
promptly hanged, often without a legal
trial, no matte? in what part of the country
the crime takes place.
St. Matthews, one of the most progressive
tywns in the State, even if it is not a
county-seat, has just held an election on
the question of bonding the special school
district to erect a new building for their
?
srraded school. The vote was almost un
[ animous, only two votes being cast against
the proposition. We commend this publicspirited
action to the citizens of Bamberg
school district. Our present graded!
% school building is entirely inadequate to
the need:? of our school, and its condition
is a reflection upon our people. Bamberg
has the reputation abroad of being an en-)
terprisihg town, and that her citizens are
progressive and public-spirited. We fear
some of our foreign friends who hold this
opinion of us would be tempted to change
their minds if they saw our graded school
building. The school has reached the
point where the present building is filled
to~5Vei*flowing, and in order to accom>
modatc all the pupils, some of the primary
- - grades are taught early in the morning
and the pupils sent home, in order that
others may come. We must either build
on to the present building or erect a new
one. We believe all our citizens realize
that the argument of economy is in favor
of a new building. This we need and
: need badly. Will we get it? This question
must be answered by our propertyV
owning voters.
The Sehool Question.
As we stated last week we did not have
s| -- time then to answer Mr. Wiggins's reply
to our editorial of the previous week. We
have read his article carefully since and
: find that it disagrees in many particulars
from the catalogue of the school in quesEp^.

we published only facts and figures from

Hp*/; Education and gave our impression of
Mr. Wiggins says he is surprised that
' the Editor of The Herald is so slow in
making the discovery of the splendid
showing made by the Denmark schools.
m We are more surprised than he is that he
has so soon forgotten how we have continually
exploited that same success, even
pa!g% more than his own home paper.
But to the point. There seems to be
jp.5-/ three nRgrtLsehools in Denmark district,
' two public schools ana the \ oornees in-1
^ dustrial school. These three return an
- enrollment of 508 (which is nearly onefifth
of the total enrollment for the
whole county, the number of negro pupils
Sir", for Bamberg county being 2,769) and re>
ceive from the county $2S0, or a fraction
less than 50 cents a head. The average of

(eh - v The woman at the head of the Yoorhees
school deserves great credit for the heroic
Wig struggle she has made to found a school
for her race. Her school in time may rival
that of Booker Washington at Tuskegee.
Will it still be called a public school ?
"^Bhe has recently published a pamphlet of
bto. information of her school, and we would
|f*S like to print all of it but can give only a
v . few extracts:
"What is the name of your school?
Ans. Yoorhees Industrial School, formerly
Denmark Industrial School."
"Who are the trustees? Ans. Hon. S.
pj&y.. ^ G. Mayfield, Rev. M. W. Gilbert, Rev. R.
C. Bedford, Misses O E P. Stokes, Emily
c - Howland, I)r. J. H. Kellogg, and Mrs. A.
S. Steele."
^ "How man}* students attend the school?
Ans. Last term we had 290."
"Is it a boarding school? Ans. Yes,

grounds, as our room is so limited. We
have to arrange with families out in town
to take those we cannot."
"How long does the school run ? Ans.
- : * Seven and a half months."
"How many teachers are connected
with the work ? Ans. Six."
"How do you get money to pay teachers?
Ans. Raising money to pay the teachers'
salaries is my greatest punishment each
year. Friends send in donations which
go to pay teachers. I am to raise $1,000
. to pay teachers this term. The county
pays one teacher for four months."
From the above it appears that the
trustees of Denmark school district are
L- not the trustees of the Voorliees school,
^that the school session is seven and a
half months, that it is a boarding school,
that there are six teachers, that the public
scho ,trustees pay one teacher for four
months and return the whole enrollment
of the school.
We are informed that the principal of
the school returned to the public school
trustees the names of the pupils taught by
this one teacher, but they demanded the
total enrollment. They may be legally
right, but with the present light we cannot
say it is equitable and just.

public school of the county ?

Marriage in Orangeburg.
Ouangkiuko, March 26.?A large
number of relatives, friends anil wellwishers
attended the marriage this afternoon
of Dr. James M. Oliver and Miss
May Pearl, daughter of Sheriff Dukes of
this county. The ceremony took place at
the beautiful home of the brother of the
bride, Hon. J. W. II. Dukes, on Broughton
street, at 3 o'clock. Mrs. C. T. Barbie
was dame of honor, and Misses Pansy
Dukes, niece of the bride, of this city, and
Ethel Googe, of Allendale, were maids of
honor, with Messrs. Otto Spahr and
Shamion Lining, the latter acting as best
man to the groom.

He Turned on the Gas.
Savannah, Ga., March 26.?This evening
a porter of the Screven house detected
an odor of gas. It came from room
63. He got on a table and pushed open
the transom over the door. It was dark
inside and the porter struck a match and
held it up. Instantly there was an ex- j
plosion. Room 63 and the number adjoining
were wrecked, and windows shattered
in other parts of the house. A lire
alarm was turned in. Firemen entered
room 63 and found on the bed the dead
body of W. P. Haukinson, aged 24, of Ellenton,
S. C. He had taken morphine,
unscrewed the tip from the gas burner
and turned on the gas. Letters found on
his body explained that he was despondent
and determined to die.
At the time of the explosion the hotel
was well tilled and a panic was narrowly
averted.
Good for Rheumatism.
Last fall I was taken with a very severe
attack of muscular rheumatism which
caused me great pain and annoyance.After

in the South Jersevman. After
two applications of this Remedy 1 was
much better, and after using one bottle,
was completely cured.?Sallie Harris,

What Early Will Say.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, who distinguished
himself in the Confederate service and is
now on the regular army retired list as a
brigader general, recently went on a visit
to West Virginia. While there he met an
old comrade in arms whose reception was
somewhat frigid.
"Well, what's the matter?" said Gen.
Lee.
"Oh, nothing much," was the non-committal
reply.
"There is something wrong," persisted
the General. "Out with it! What do
you want?"
After being strenuously urged the old
comrade said:
"Well, I want to die at least half an
hour before you do. I want to be in the
other world when you arrive there, just
to hear what Gen. Jubal Early says when
he sees you in a blue uniform."

Bill Nye on Secret Orders.
The Knights of Pythias held a conclave
at Dallas while I was there. I wore a
badge in order to be sociable, and by that
means learned of different grips and signs
of distress. I think now I could work my
way iuto a lodge if I had time and a large
corkscrew. In shaking hauds with many
trangers during the past year or two
while traveling, and making a wide acquaintance,
looking to an accidental turn
in affairs in 1902, I am struck by the large
and varied number of grips given me
which I am not able to classify. I would
think that a man who belouged to most
all the secret societies must have very little
time to devote to his business after
successfully remembering all the grips,
signs, pass-words, explanations, signals,
rituals, work of degrees, constitution, bylaws,
reports of committees, initiations,
communications, new business, good of
the order, violation of obligation, openr\A

stones and funeral services. If I 4ad all
these in my head, I could just about remember
the combination of my safe, but
I would not be mentally adequate to anything
further than that. If it rains, some
good friend who had my best interest at
heart would probably have to take me by
the hand and bring me in.

Better Than Pills.
The question has been asked,"In what
way are Chamberlain's Stomach <fc Liver
Tablets superior to pills?" our answer
! is: They are easier and more pleasant to
take, more mild and gentle in effect and
more reliable as they can always be depended
upon. Then they cleanse and invigorate
the stomach and leave the bowels
in a natural condition, while pills are more
harsh in effect and their use is often followed
by constipation. For sale by Bam

THE STATE CONVENTION.
Wh.v Some Look on it as a 3Iosrt Important
one.
Many arc seeing more in the coming
State Democratic convention than appears
on the surface. A correspondent
of the Augusta Chronicle writing from
Greenville, where one of Senator McLairin's
campaign managers resides, sajs
among other things:
"Every one seems to be waiting and
watching for something to turn up that
will indicate in which way the political
wind will blow, and, like all cautious people,
we are keeping our mouths shut.
Tillman has not the political power he
formerly had. Many have dropped him
as a leader. Many have joined the McLaurin
ranks and still more are willing to
do so should they see a few more straws
blowing in his direction. All are disgusted
with Bryan and his everlasting voice.
"Under the uncertain situation, most
m*>n 'irp nwnitinrr flip jirfinn nf thp Stntp
Democratic convention that meets in Columbia
in Ma)', before saying anything. A
great number of people, knowing the differences
in the Democratic ranks, consider
that convention one of the most important
political conventions that ever
met South Carolina. The action then
taken and the platform then adopted will
decide the political situation in the State.
"We need wise and conservative men
in that convention in order that a platform
may be adopted that will not cut any
faction but suit all.
"If measures condemning the McLaurin
element are adopted and an attempt made
to rule them out, there will be a split in
the party that will not soon be healed,
and men will begin to 'align themselves
with one faction or the other.
"Tillman w ill, no doubt, wield much
power in the convention and it may be
said that a great responsibility rests on
his shoulders in uniting or disruptingthe
party. No one can tell whether he will
be statesman enough to rise above self and
his personal feelings toward McLaurin to
really try to save the party or adopt a
course of rule or ruin. By his conduct in
person, or by his lieutenants, in that con
veution, he w ill be judged. He will make
or ruin himself. If he shows a small
spirit of personal revenge he is gone. If
i : e ?
uc uses iu luu pt;siliuu ul it siaicsuian auu
patriot he "will be saved.
"The politicians are worried and, as
stated, waiting and watching. Very few
are out spoken, with the exception of
avowed partisans.
"There is no doubt that South Carolina
is in the midst of a big political revolution.
The indusirtal situation has vastly
changed in the past ten years. The
manufacturing interests have grown
wonderfully and their influence is fast
becoming a power in politics. These
thousands are tired of the old wornout
issues in national politics and
desire new issues upon which there
would be some hope of electing a
president. They desire a national
platform that will suit the Democrats
of the south as well as those of the
north?a platform without 16 to 1 and
like follies in it including Bryan as the
biggest folly of all, upon which all can
stand. The times have changed, and it is
claimed that we must change with them.
The campaign of this year in South Carolina
will be a hot one, as the McLaurin
Democrats are growing stronger and can
now poll 80,000 votes out of a possible
85,000 in the State.
"It would require a very wise man to
size up what the situation will be in the
summer, except to say that it will be lively
and interesting."
"So you won't take money for your
vote?"
"No, suh! But ef you is wise, you'll
lose some whar I kin find it easy!"

Let Him Stay Away.
About two years ago Governor McSweeney
pardoned, at the earnest appeal
of the man's wife, who expressed the belief
that he would stop drinking and reform,
one John M. Ashley, alias Jack
Ashley, sent up from Barnwell county.
After being free a while Ashley broke
into a dispensary and stole some $80
worth of whiskey, and got on f. first class
drunk, leaving for parts unknown before
he could be arrested.
A short time ago the sheriff of Barnwell
county located him in Tennessee and had
him arrested, but before requisition papers
could be gotteu the fellow escaped.
Recently he was located in Kentcky at
Louisville, and the police of that city arrested
him at the sheriff's request.
The application for a requisition reach
ed the governor yesterday. Af ter looking
into the mutter be came to the conclusion
thatin view of thebeavy expensenecessary
to the bringing of the man back" to South
Carolina, it would be for the best interests
of the State to refuse the requisition, and
order Ashley released. It is understood
that if he returns to the State he will be
promptly arrested and punished. Thus
the State and Barnwell county are rid of
a very undesirable citizen.?The State.

Governor Stands Firm.
A continuous effort is made to collect
the reward that was offered for Bartow
Warren. The attorney for Mr. Ott claims
in a letter to Governor McSweeney that
the reward was ollereu iortne apprenension
and delivery" of Bartow Warren. It
is claimed that it can be proven that Warren
was apprehended in the river, and
that he was duly delivered to the coroner
of the county.
Governor McSweeuey does not see it
that way and lias 110 idea of paying the
reward that the State offered, because he
takes the position that it is necessary to
do something to earn a reward, and that
the accidental finding of a dead bod}', and
being attracted to it "by buzzards flying
over it," is not earning a reward. He says
that others may think that the State (
should pay such a reward, but he will ]

HUMAN ALARM CLOCKS.
How Messenger Boys Are Utilised as
Awakeners In New York.
At 1 o'clock the other morning a well
dressed man strolled into one of the
uptown messenger offices. He had been
dining out and evidently, from the rakish
tilt to his opera hat, the dinner had
been a success.
"I want a messenger boy to come and
iwaken me in the morning."
"What hour?" The clerk was all
business, for the request was not unusual.
"Seven o'clock. I've got to catch a
train,", he explained.
"All right, sir; 7 o'clock," assured the
clerk.
The man turned as he was going out
of the door. "Have the boy hammer
the door hard," he cautioned. "I'm a
'dead one' when I get to sleep, and I've
got to catch that train." Then he went
home and went to sleep with absolute
confidence.
The whistles were blowing 7 o'clock.
A small boy In uniform hammered
with a club, his "wakener," on the
door of the man who had dined the
night before. "Get up in there!" he
cried. "Get up, you old sleepyhead!"
"You go away from my door," comes
in sleepy tones from the room. "It's a
mistake. I don't want to get up."
"Oh, yes, you do, my dodo bird," is
the fresh reply. And the tattoo on the
door goes on with redoubled strength.
"All right, boy; I'm awake now!"
howls the man who has been sleeping.
"You can go away now."
"Not till you've signed this receipt,"
the boy insists.
The man has to crawl out of bed and
come to the door. The boy has a paper
ready, and as he is a careful man he
reads before signing. It certifies that
he has been thoroughly wakened by
Messenger No. 432 and that he is not
going back to bed again that day.
"Is this a joke?' he asks the boy.
"Naw, 'taln't no joke," replied the
messenger through his teeth. "If we'se
didn't make you'se do this, you'd be
down to de office about noon a-howlin'

COOKING FISH IN ENGLAND.
TIm Method Used There Renders the
Flesh Flaky and Juicy.
John Bull certainly knows how to
cook fish, to prove which fact one has
only to notice the juiciness and good
flavor of the first bit of fish, served
perhaps at a little out of the way Inn,
that one tastes in England. We Americans
have at command many fine varieties
of fish, but too often find it sent
to table in a "woolly," tasteless condition.
An American cousin visiting in an
English family made bold to ask what
method of cooking "sea food" was
prevalent in England and found that
there the importance of the thorough
cooking of fish as a safeguard against
ptomaines is as much regarded as with
us. Our old country friends, however,
assure us that there is not the slight'
est occasion to render fish dry and
tasteless in order to insure thorough
cooking if proper attention is given to
basting. One cannot well imagine anything
hotter than boiling fat, and laving
plentifully with this is to make use
of the surest ammunition possible for
the routing of deadly bacteria.
Instead of warning amateurs against
underdone fish, let copious basting with
sweet boiling fat be Insisted on, and in
place of a woolly, flavorless result
there will be the opposite?flakiness
and Juiciness. Overboiling will produce
woolliness as surely as overfrying
or baking. To insure tender, solid
flakes in, for Instance, boiled cod or
halibut and to avoid dissipating the
flavor make sure the water boils when

boil; allow only ten minutes to the
pound and tie carefully in cheesecloth
that has been washed and boiled before
using. Cod well basted with hot
olive oil or any good fat will be almost
gamy in flavor, as will cod steaks
cooked in deep fat ?Washington Star.
Unpoetlcal Poets.
Poets are not always poetical. A tale
is told in a contemporary of Aubrey de
Vere growing ecstatic before Newman
over the "sweet pealing of the Oxford
chimes" and asked why they rang with
so inviting an insistence. "Only young
men keeping themselves warm," replied
Newman.
Tennyson gave several unexpected
answers of the same character. He
asked a young lady who had shown
herself more enthusiastic than intelligent
over the beauties of "Maud" what
birds she supposed they were which
called "Maud, Maud, Maud!" "Nightingales,"
said the enthusiast. "No;

SPRINKLING" SINGAPORE.
The* Solemn Procession That Accompanies
the Watering: Cart.
Poultney Blgelow In his description
or the marvelous progress macie ny tne
city of Singapore under English rule
gave a quaint picture of the manner in
which the streets are watered:
The watering cart was drawn by little
white bullocks and driven by Malays
with turbans. It seemed to take
five Malays to do this driving. One
roosted aloft on top of the barrel for
the purpose of controlling the outgo of
water. He seemed very proud of his
appointment Another native In a big
turban roosted on the pole and controlled
the little cattle.
Then there was a man In thin brown
legs and much turban who walked solemnly
behind enjoying a footbath. He
was obviously a government functionary,
although his exact sphere of usefulness
I could not discover. He appeared
to be something in the nature
of a rear guard.
Then there was a "foreloper," or advance
guard, for the purpose of clearing
the way. There appeared to be an
idea that the little bullocks might suddenly
go mad and rush ahead. At any
rate, it gave congenial employment to
one more native, and that was something.
There was yet another, who bent
down now and then to pick up a piece
of stone or brush away some irregularitv
unseen bv ordinary eyes.
This outfit was a treat to me. It was
solemn; it was full of self consciousness;
It was magnificently oriental.
I have seen men in sublime moments;
I have seen the red capped station master
of Germany strut up and down his
platform when an imperial train was
about to arrive, but even that impressed
me less than the watering cart of
Singapore, with Its municipal hierarchy
of Malay ministers, each earning perhaps
2 cents a day.
Dove* and Coronations.
At the ancient ceremonies of coronation
of the French kings, after the
anointing had been performed, some
white doves were let loose i n the
church. This was supposed to symbolize
the power of the Holy Ghost in diy
recting the king's actions. A similar
Idea seems to have Inspired all early
kings, for among the English regalia
is the rod of equity or the scepter with
the dove. This is simply a golden rod
with a mound at the top, which supports
a cross. On this cross is a dove,
fashioned of white enamel, with expanded
wings. Some fine diamonds
ornament tne roa in various places.
No Escnse Thin Time.
"It was a new gun, your honor," protested
the prisoner, "and I did not
know it was loaded."
"But," argued the judge, "the dealer
has just told us that you did not pay
for the weapon."
"What has that to do with it?"
"Well, if you didn't pay for it the
dealer must have charged it for you."
And the judge tried to look as much
like the pictures of Solomon as he
could.?Baltimore American.
