Court House Repairs.
Clerk of Court C. B. Free is having
some needed changes and repairs made
in the court room. Heretofore two extra
bailiffs have been needed on account
of the location of the doors to the petit
jury rooms. These have been changed,
and now the doors are located where
the judge can see them all the time
a jury isr in the room. The Supervisor
will move his office down stairs and the
office formerly occupied by him will be
used as the grand jury room. This puts
all the juries on the second tloor, and the
result will be that business can be dispatched
more rapidly, as well as saving
the expense of two bailiffs. The woodwork
and plastering is being well done,
and when finished will exactly match the
finish of the court house. The plastering
in different parts of the court house will
also be repaired, as will the cement floors
in the office of clerk of court and judge
of probate. The clerk deserves the thanks
of the taxpayers for his good work.

Who is Supervisor?
We understand there is some hitch over (
;he office of supervisor of registration, j
Our readers will remember that some ,
weeks ago we published the fact that Mr.
N". P. Smoak had been appointed as a
member of the board to take the place of t
Mr. Carl W. Rowell, who had left the (
county. It now appears that Mr. Rowell's
absence was only temporary, and he in- ,
Lends to hold on", as his commission is for
two years and does not expire until next
January some time. He was present the j
tirst Monday in March when the board
met,and will be here next Monday to serve t
as a member. In the meantime Mr. Smoak
has received his commission and has
qualified as a member of the board. It is i
probable that both men will be ready to
serve Monday, and what will be done
about the matter is not known at this (
time. Certain it is that both men cannot ]
serve, and the question is, which one will
give way. We understand that Mr. Smoak .
was not an applicant for the position, and
was placed on the board, because the mag- J
istracy of Fishpond township, which he !
held, was abolished at the late session of '
the general assembly. Our information
is that Mr. Rowell was displaced only for
the reason that our legislative delegation
were under the impression that he had
left the county.

"I have not the slightest hesitancy in
recommending Chamberlain'sCoughRemedy
to all who are suffering from coughs
or colds," says-Chas. M. Cramer, Esq., a
well-known watchmaker, of Colombo,
Ceylon. "It has been some two years
since the City Dispensary first called my
attention to this valuable medicine and
I have repeatedly used it and it has always
been beneficial. It has cured me
quickly of all chest colds. It is especially
effective for children and seldom takes
more than one bottle to cure them of
hoarseness. I have persuaded many to try
t his valuable medicine, and they are all as
well pleased as myself over the results."

FINE I
Is the Board Illegal?
Editor The Bamberg Herrald:?I
have understood that the county board of
commissioners as now organized, is an
illegal body, for the reason that one of its
members, viz: Mr. T. J. Rentz, who represents
Midway township, is not a free
holder, and my information is that to be
eligible to said position one must own
real estate. I also believe that during the
past few months he has not resided in
Midway township, but lives in Fishpond
township. Kindly inform the public
through your paper whether these statements
are correct or not. Voter.
[The editor will state that he has examined
the records and does not find that
Mr. Rentz owns an}* real estate. If he
does, we have not been able to find a
record of it. Our information is that he
lives on rented laud. The Revised Statutes
lay down the law governing county
boards of commissioners, and there it is
required that to be eligible as a member
of the board a man must be a "freeholder."
The law may have been changed since
these Statutes, but of this we cannot say.
We have been told that Commissioner
Rentz now lives in Fishpond township.?

Dots from Clear Pond.
Clear Pond, March 31?The people of
r this section have about finished planting
corn, and some have commenced to plant
i cotton. The farmers all around are making
great efforts, in the hope of making a
! good crop this year.
The Clear Pond picnic, or Good Friday
picnic as it is called, came off all right.
Nourishment, both in the form of victuals
and liquor, was plentiful. Some enjoy
the former, some the latter; most of the
young men the latter, and some of the old
ones, too.
Mrs. Sallie Ayer came near losing her

One day last week Mr. B. F. Brown
killed a trout in a pond in his field which
weighed seven pounds. It was certainly
a tine fish.
The Clear Pond school is progressing
nicely now. It will continue for nearly
two months yet. Mr. D. P. Smith has
charge. Scribbler.
Wants To Help Others.
"I had stomach trouble all my life,"
says Edw. Mchler, proprietor of the Union
Bottling Works, Erie, Pa., "and tried all
kinds of remedies, went to several doctors
aud spent considerable money trying to
get a moment's peace. Finally I read of
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure and have been taking
it to my great satisfaction. I never
found its equal for stomach trouble and
gladly recommend it in hope that I may
help other sufferers." Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure cures all stomach troubles. You
don't have to diet. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure digests what you eat. Bamberg

Woman: Strengt h of Character a Yital
Requisite.
The editor of the Boston Journal some
days since devoted near a whole column
to a rebuke given the young men of that
city, for carrying girls at a late hour from
the ball room to a street car and leaving
them to get home the best way they could.
He asks: "Who are these unspeakable
cads who pass for gentlemen:'" finishing
the rebuke in withering denunciations.
So far so good, but his honor stopped
too soon. The opportunity to rebuke the
girls, who suffered themselves, time and
again, so grossl}' slighted by their escorts
was equally as golden, as was that to the
men. Any woman who will be passive
iu a man's power; who will accept any
treatment he sees fit to deal out to her, deserves
slights. Man is a keen reader of
woman kind, he sizes her up in a short
time and treats her as she requires him
to. I am amazed at the credulity of some
of my sex, they seem utterly blind and
deaf to the cunning devices of so-called
lovers and compromise womanly dignity
?womanly virtue?because "Mr. Smith
says nothing but a kiss will establish his
confidence in me"?bah! That story
must have been invented when old Adam
courted fair Eve in the garden of paradise,
for every man, old, young, little and big
tells it to his "Mary," hoping thereby to
reach the lips he knows he has no ri&ht
to touch; encircle a form his arms ncces
sarily will pollute.
Love is a god-given blessing to man and
woman, it softens, enhances, awakens
the best impulses in our natures, and
should, under propitious circumstances
and when two souls are congenial, culminate
in marriage. But, because a woman
pledges herself, at some future day,
to become a wife, should she yield to her
lover privileges that compromise her? I
may be a fanatic on the subject, but I hold
my views, as a privilege granted every
free born American citizen. It is natural
for the sexes to desire each other's society,
a true gentleman appreciates the companionship
of a noble woman and vice
versa, but are there not limits beyond
which lie should dare not go? Mothers
have a grave responsibility, they neglect
too often to prescribe a given hour for
their daughters to retire; the)' fail too
often to know who the gentleman is that
visits their home and what his intention
is, in frequenting said homes. The mother
should be the guide to pilot her daughter
over the volcanic ground, to show and
warn her against dangers that youthful
eyes fail to discover.
Lastly: Girls, grade yourselves high,
maintain the self-estimate by a dignity
and courteous respect shown gentlemen,
that they dare not underrate. If one infringes
on your rights spurn him as you
would a serpent, and you will never he
put on street cars at midnight unprotected,
neither will you lack for admirers or
a?husband! M. O. Lanier.

Shot in His Left Leg.
For all kinds of sores, burns, bruises,
or other wounds DeWitt's Witch llazel
Salve is a sure cure. Skin diseases yield
to it at once. Never fails in cases of piles.
Cooling and healing. None genuine but
DeWitt's. Beware of counterfeits. "I
suffered for many years from a sore caused
by a gun shot wound in my left leg,"
says A. S. Fuller, English, Ind. "It would
not heal and gave me much trouble. I
used all kinds of remedies to no purpose
until I tried DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve.
A few boxes completely cured me." Bamberg

Threw Herself from Train.
Blackvii.le, March 27?The passengers
on the early morning train from Augusta
to Charleston witnessed a surprising
incident just before the train reached
Blackville this morning. A young lady,
Miss May Folk, who lives near Williston,
boarded the train at that station en route
to Columbia. Upon Hearing the place
the porter as usual called, out "Blackville."
Miss Folk immediately rose from
her seat, hastily ran to the door and leap
ed from the train which was then running
at some 30 or 40 miles an hour. "When
the train stopped it returned and found
the young lady unconscious. She was
brought to the hotel and found to be severely
injured, suffering from concussion
of the brain, shoulder dislocated and badly
bruised. She is now in a very critical
condition.
Saved Many a Time.
Don't neglect coughs and colds even if
it is spring. Such cases often result seriously
at this season just because people
are careless. A dose of One Minute Cough
Cure will remove all danger. Absolutely
safe. Acts at once. Sure cure for coughs,
colds, croup, grip, bronchitis, and other
throat and lung troubles. "I have used
One Minute Cough Cure several years,"
says Postmaster C. 0. Dawson, Barr, 111.
"It is the very bestcougli medicine on the
market. It has saved me many a severe
spell of sickness and I warmly recommend
it." The children's favorite. Bamberg
