these days, and we trust that every man,
woman and child in South Carolina can
see the show before it closes. It is well
t. . .
worth a visit.
D. C. Hey ward, of Walterboro, is making
a hustling campaign for governor, although
he is doing his canvassing in a
quiet way. If he doesn't get elected he'll
certainly scare some of the other candidates
for the place mighty bad.

We rather expected Charleston's "four
hundred" to boycott the "society column"
recently started in the Evening Post, of
that city, by declining to give out information
in regard to social functions, but
^the column does not lack for news, the
elite seeming to take to it as naturally as
as a duck to water.
The price of cotton is still going up.
New York brokers say the supply is about
B " exhausted and that prices will go much
higher. But will it hold up until next
fall? It looks like a shrewd trick on the
part of* speculators to induce farmers to
increase their acreage. If they are wise
they will not do so.
Some newspapers are giving advice to
the May State Convention, which is not
needed or sought. That body is amply
able to take care of itself, but we have no
idea any sensations will be sprung or exHP
citing scenes take place in the meeting.
We expect the convention to be a quiet,
hum-drum affair, and for everything to be
- - calm and serene and as pleasant as a June
< morning.
From present indications human life is
^ ____gettihg t<r*Hc>c a little more valuable iu
- South Carolina. Recently in different
TMjr-tc r?f th#> State white men have been
I found guilty and sentenced to a term of
years in the penitentiary for the crime of
- killing. If a few white men could be
hung for murder, justice would be redeemed
to some extent, and the life of a lawabiding
citizen would be safer.
The Rock Hill Journal is to be sued for
damages,something unusual for a newspa.
per in South Carolina. This enterprising
paper published the fact that an old maid
; _ was engaged to be married, and it turned
out not to be true, or rather she didn't get
? married, so she has entered suit against
tko no nor frkP 000 We SU<T
wuv *v* yvjwv o
gest to our contemporary that if it can
succeed in getting a husband for the lady,
she may drop the suit.
T Several towns in the State are agitating
the question of establishing cotton mills.
Our candid opinion is that there are
enough cotton factories in South Carolina
| for the present, but there is plenty of room
for other manufacturing enterprises.
7 * * There is too great a tendency to cling to
one line of enterprises in this State, and
what we need is diversification. The field
is broad, and there are many kinds of
factories which could be established here
tMXd pay good dividends.
S It is said that Governor McSweeney
will take steps to prevent the prize fight
between Jeffries and Fitzsimmous, if the
mill is attempted to be held in Charleston.
P He could hardly do otherwise. It is further
stated that all efforts to get the fight
for that city will be abandoned, owing to
the determined opposition of the governfe
t or. However, we can see no more harm
> '. in nullifying the law against prize fighti
; ing than the one against the illicit sale of
whiskey, so why not let Charleston have
her fun if she wants it.
|t?y , It seems strange that the legislature
should get matters so mixed up. Until
last year the road or commutation tax was
$1 .00; last year it was $2.00, and many
paid this amount. The legislature at its
t k recent session amended the road law, and
the result is that the road tax has again
2- . been put at $1.00. This worked an injustice
on many persons who paid the
p $2.00, and yet in this eouuty a still greater
number paid during the last month,
when the amount was onlv $1.00. Those
^who paid $2.00 are a little sore over it,
and with good reason. Taxes should be
put on all alike.
An Anonymous Communication.
This paper does not usually publish anonymous
communications, but we print
the one below for reasons of our own,
wbicb is set up exactly as written, capitals,
punctuation, etc. However, the writer
cannot be posted on the bar-room situation
in Charleston, for he is badly off in
advocating the repeal of the dispensary
law. The illicit whiskey dealers in Charleston.
we naturally tuppose, favor the
law and want it to remain on the statute
books, for under its operation they can
do business at so much less expense and
jf ' reap greater profits. As it is now they
> pay no license to the city, do not have to
keep an attractive and expensive saloon
on the first floor, and are rid very largely
of the bummers and loafers who hang
around such places. The bars are now
generally located up-stairs, where the rent
is not so high, and there is not much
money spent in making them attractive.
No, no, our opinion is that Charleston
wants the dispensary law, for they always
vote for the dispensary candidate.

Mr. Wiggins Again.
Editor Bamrkug Herald, My Dear
sir:?It is with considerable hesitancy
that I make reply to your second editorial
regarding the school affairs of district
No. 21, but ! feel that you have shifted us
from a criminal role to that of a sin of
general commission, a conclusion reached
by you after a second glance over those
rare statistics. If you were better acquainted
with the demand of this district
and the continued struggle we have gone
through during the past seven years, with
a closer and deeper sympathy for a progressive
spirit iu the educational affairs
of tins people, you could say with good
discretion that we are morally right in
our dispensations as well as legally triumphant
in every effort. Indeed, it is
poor policy to attempt to defend a point
of character against one who will draw
conclusions from erroneous premises. If
you have not done this, you have made
conclusions witnoui snowing me j?ieniises.
Therefore, the fatal mistakes made
by you. An unstained truth and integrity
need no special defence. A man can not
build up a character on false principles,
much less can he build up a school by
means of deception or trickery. The
world demands today a higher tone of
citizenship, and I am glad Denmark is accomplished
in such;|and with equal pleasure
I grant the same to your town.
A hostile attitude of one community
toward another has always brought forth
sad results. It will not help Bamberg to '
look upon Denmark with jealous suspic-1
ion, or store up her motive power, fori
the purpose of crushing a life, laudable in ;
scope, that emanates from the applied efforts
of her neighbors. I presume the
Herald is representing the sentiment, of
the Bamberg people, and if we should become
cognizant of the fact that the writer
of the previous editorial has been patted
on the shoulder by any intelligent Bamberg
citizens, giving approval and credit
to his opinions, so unhesitatingly advanced
by him, too?then the correspondence
would appear to us as having a most serious
interpretation, both as to the quality
of Bamberg's citizenship and the true purpose
of the editor. I prefer giving you the
benetit^of the most plausible phase of your
argument, which may be summed up in
the statement that you have stamped us
as being a most malicious people, knowing
but little about us, and our management
of public schools as stealthy roguery
without having sufficient light to guide
you safely. Both of your editorials made
sweeping condemnations, supported by!
quoted matter from the pages of the Educational
report and from the pamphlet of
information written by the colored principal,
but none of these things effect the
truth of the specific terms under which
the school in question is run.
The Industrial school during the past
six years has been nothing more than a
public school, which has been placed in
the hands of this Tuskegee graduate, who
accepted it under terms of contract, the
trustees paying her $.'10 per month for five
consecutive months. The two other
colored schools are run four months each,
at a salary of $20 per month, making a
total expenditure for colored schools
Tt coomc tint tlio in mini r^tinrf. to
the State Supt. shows only $280. This is
a mistake. These figures seem to perplex
the Herald. It must he home in mind
that this is entirely a local question concerning
which my grieved friend evidently
felt called upon to administer rehuke.
Assuredly, this is as much his business as
the management of the Herald is mine.
Jumping, as he did, headlong into a nonpartisan
affair, about which he had hut
little knowledge, it is in harmony to see
him impugning the character and moral
judgment of our honest officials with
seeming good grace.
I have in my mind an incident which
brings into active consideration the advisability
of divulging an affair, which
would shock some of your fellow-townsmen,
yet it would be truth undefiled; but
I refrain, because I will never allow black
deeds of a few men to overshadow the
pure manhood which they are supposed
to represent. Then too, the conditions
are so changed today from what they
were then, I draw the conclusion that the
power of honest men have buried these
horrible realities along with their political
dead, and the day of resurrect ion is not
at all close at hand.
Our trustees have done a faithful work
for all schools. What the)- are today is
the climax of a growth from almost noth
ing. The white teachers have been poorly
paid aud the colored teachers will have
to share the same patience until our hoard
can safely increase their pay, as they respectively
deserve. We pay the Industrial
school about twice as much as we
pay either of the other colored schools.
It deserves this, because twice the number
of pupils are enrolled.
Lizzie Wright, having accepted the
school for the amount mentioned above,
when she uuthoughtedly withheld the enrollment,
a demand, her obligation of contract,
was made plain to her and she met
the issue with a sincere, honest compliance.
She has always given our board a
most respectful support and her abiding
here has always carried with it a strong
life, a fine character. Everything must
have a beginning, and the beginning of
the Industrial school was simply a change
of names with the personal support of the
Booker Washington graduate. She has
used the enrollment of this school as the
basis of her appeals to Northern friends.
The public school has been the bud of her
hrvrvoc the VnnvliPPC sehnol is the blossom
and fruit of same. How grateful she ought
to be to this District Board for the advantages
accorded her. Taking the school
as she did, we have never interfered with
her plans. She has managed the school
as she wished, giving it a name and
choosing a board of trustees; but her doors
were wide open to all, as per agreement,
when the district trustees announced the
opening of free term. Up to this time the
school has been known as the Denmark
Industrial school. The enrollment last
term was 290 for the free term and the
length of term was five months. The
crysalis state of the Industrial school has
been passed. The real Industrial school
has been established, Voorhees, by name,
i The enterprise is an accomplished thing,
i a lasting credit to the untiring principal.
The Voorhees Industrial school is about
completed, a new school, and will hereafter
have nothing to do with the public
schools. The Voorhees school will take
up its specific work, but the public school
will still be under the management of its
present principal, in an entirely separate
building.
Itrust theHerald can get ample light,from
which he can readily deduce a complete
exonoratiou in behalfofDenmark schools.
We appreciate your candor and while you
have pounded us hard with the liberty of
your position, still we desire your good
wishes. We want your friendship and we
want Bamberg to feel that Denmark is her
equal in tone of character and far beyond
her in public school advantages. Our superiority
is to your discredit. You could
have a better school, if you would realize
your duty to your children.
If Denmark has been defiled by deeds
of commission, Bamberg is heavy loaded
down by tons of omission. Your pride,
intellects and moral characters stand for
more than the little caboose, you call your
"graded school." Write long, brilliant
editorials, advocating a $10,000 building
and a sufficient levy to support a firstclass
school. Bamberg must awake to her
Imp vvliito i l< I 1
iii her slumbering lethargy ami long to see
her manhood launch the enterprise from
which will disseminate the divine gifts
and powers of her brilliant youth.
Mr. Calhoun and his corps of excellent
assistants have never had the opportunity
of giving to the public their largest capacity
as teachers, and it is to their remarkable
credit that they have done so wonderfully
well. Every honest advantage has
not been used. I can see myself where a
wonderful growth could be insured. All
in all, if Bamberg will do her duty to her
white children, in the scale of pensions
she will stand her own.
Finally, Mr. Editor, your last editorial
reminds me of a Beaufort county candidate
for the Legislature. Do you want to
go to the Legislature? If you do, come
\ out on the right platform?-and old Den?uiark
will not forget you.

? [^r good friend says lie replies to us
with n^(.h hesitancy, yevt.o hints at dark
doings in the past, and seems i ,varm up

\
\
and intimate that this community is envious
of Denmark. In fact, his reply reminds
us of what Arteinus Ward said a
about his public lectures, viz: that there P
was so much in the lecture that had absolutely
nothing to do with it. We must t,
protest against what seems to be the at- a
tempt to becloud the issue. Let's stick to *
the question. We have the consciousness
I that our motives are pure in agitating I
this matter, and to intimate otherwise C
does not help your side of the case. What r
the public want is facts, not argument, so ^
that they can decide who is right and who J
is wrong, for there are always two sides to c
every question. Kind friend, there is 1
nothing to get warm over in this matter. .
There is absolutely no use?nor excuse? t
for such epithets as "malicious," "stealthy 1
I liL-a tint tliooo ii-nrii unt '
applied by this editor, but by Mr. Wiggins
himself to his own people, he putting such f
a construction on our former editorials.
But, with all due respect to his uuedr- c
standing of the English language, we
contend that our words do not admit of t
any such construction. If he so construed s
them, we most kindly assert that it was a
strained construction. This newspaper
has not impugned the characters and moral
judgment of the worthy officials who
conduct the school affairs of our sister J
town, nor will we, and our words should ^
not be misinterpreted. Far be it from us j
to be jealous of Denmark's success. In 1
truth, we glory in her progressiveness, *
and, as our files will show, have held up
her pride in the matter of free schools as
a a worthy example to this community. 1
That we have freely used the columns of e
s
our paper to sustain his good work, we j
are sure Mr. Wiggins will bear ample tes- c
timony. As to the incident to which he *
alludes which would shock some of our ^
(
townsmen, we know nothing, and, as we c
have no earthly idea to what he alluhes,
cannot say whether it is germane to this
discussion. However, we think that, as ^
he did not divulge the nature of the inci- rdent,
the bare mention had best been left j
out of his communication. To come to }
the real question at issue: Mr. Wiggins j
does not attempt to explain or reply to the )
facts and figures cited by us, except in the j
matter of salaries paid the negro teach- j
ers. There the mistake is not our9, for 1
we took them from the official report, and
i c VAI*TT oliirht Qnxra'Qr* Q
LUC UUILILULL AO ? VIJ uuj ti uj . m
total of only $30. The annual report of ^
the State Superintendent of Education i
also gives the total negro population of 1
Denmark, of school age, (between six and f
twenty-one years) as 225?100 boys and f
125 girls?yet it gives the total enrollment c
of negroes in her schools as 568 ?2G5 boys <
and 303 girls?an enrollment of 343 more j
pupils than there is children. He is right j
when he says these figures perplex us, for (
they do, and we cheerfully admit our inability
to understand how an enrollment of
508 pupils can be returned when there are
only 225 children of school age. If these j
figures are wrong, who is to blame? The s
report is official, and was the best source f
of information open to us. We admit all t
our friend says about the good work of *
Lizzie Wright, and the only question at
issue as to her school is: Is her enrollment
of pupils, as returned to the school (
authorities, made up solely of children 1
residing m tire bounds or tne uenmara
district? From the figures of the reports j
we could not understand how they could
be, and do not yet. Either her enrollment (
is not of purely local pupils or the figures
are wrong. She says she takes boarders <
and has them board in private families }
out in town. If foreign pupils were re- j
turned as a basis for distribution of public
funds, clearly that was an injustice to
every other school district, and we hardly
think our friend would contend other- ]
wise. Our idea in bringing out the ques- f
tion was to correct if possible a seeming j
injustice, for the Herald not only repre- J
seuts the people of Bamberg town, but all *
the people of Bamberg county, and let us j
say right here that the best interests of
any section of this county do not come 5
second with us. Let us assure our friend
that there has not been any patting on the !
shoulder of us by any citizen of Bamberg,
and in fact the only private discussion of
this matter had with us at all was by the
very courteous and pleasant chairman of
your board, of trustees, witn wnom we <
had a pleasant conversation a few weeks <
ago. Don't try to bring in anything about 1
ill feeling between the towns, for there is
no such thfng in Bamberg. In fact, the
people of this town seem utterly indiffer- ^
ent about free school matters, and in this
connection let us thank you for your se- j
vere but true comments on our school
situation. "Faithful are the wounds of a
friend." "But thou canst not shake thy
gory locks at me and say I did it." We
have labored incessantly, in season and '
out of season, for better free schoolfacil- '
ities for Bamberg town: first, for a special (
levy-(where we linaliy succeeded in get- ]
ling half a loaf), and now we are working
for a better building, or rather for a building?the
present affair is not worthy the r
name. In conclusion, let us say that all j
this discussion about incidental matters s
does not settle the question. If the facts '
and figures quoted by us are correct, our
position isoverwhelminglySustained. We
have simply tried to do our duty as we {
saw it, for we could not see the equity and i
justice in the distribution of funds based \
on those figures. If other figures cau be
brought forward showing the State Supt.
to be in error, we will freely accord to district
No. 21 all she contends for.?Ed.

Rig Railroad Deal.
Nkw York, April 4.?Following a ,
meeting in this city today of the directors
of the Plant System, W. G. Elliott, president
of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad,
and R. G. Erwin, president of the Savan- 1
n:ih, Florida and Western Railway company,
authorized the following statement: s
"Negotiations have been completed K
under which it is recommended that the
Savannah, Florida and Western Railway
company will, on or before the 1st of July
1002, be consolidated with and become i
the property of the Atlantic Coast Liue (
Railroad company. The negotiations al- t
so contemplate that the other railway properties
of the Plant System will pass
under the control of the Atlantic Coast t
Line at the same time.
"It has been also agreed that when the
consolidation takes place, the Southern 1
Railway company will have trackage (
rights thereafter for all of its trains, both
passenger and freight, over the line be- j
tween Savannah and Jacksonville, thus (
making Jacksonville the southern terminus
of the Southern Railway company
for its Florida service to and from east
and west." ]

of my constituents was doing Washington
for the first time, and I was exhibiting
the lions,?in fact, the whole menagerie,
for it is not exclusively lions that are on
exhibition at our high society functions.
As we circulated among the crowd we met
Dr. Mary Walker,?yes, she was in full
evening dress?of the bifurcated variety;
decollete too, in her low-cut vest.
"My friend, like many others visiting
Washington for the first time, had been
very anxious to meet her, and, indeed, 1
suspect he would rather have missed a
peep at the President than the sight of her
for we have had twenty-five Presidents
you know, and there is only one Dr. Man
Walker. So I introduced him. Just al
that moment Minister Wu approached
and, stopping to shake hands with me
was introduced to her also.

The train was leaving Lancaster wlie
a young woman in the rear of the car b<

lamentations that a young man who sf
opposite went over and tried to comfoi
her.
"You seem to be in great grief, madam,
said he. "Is there anything I can do fc
you?"
"N?no," replied she between her sob:

"The spinal inflection was barely com
pleted when the little Doctor stepped back
a pace, and, drawing her rather slight
anatomy up to the uttermost semblance
of dignity that she could command, witl:
an expression too of utter disapprobation
upon her countenance, eyed the bigChina
man most severely for a moment.
"With a look of astonishment at this
attitude, to which the popular diplomat is
so little accustomed, he waited in curiosi
ty for what was coming, for Dr. Mary's
expression was portentous. At last she
let him have it, with a look that mighi
