Thursday, April 17, 1902. .A monument has already been put on foot to build a monument to Wade Hampton. We heartily endorse it, and can promise that Bamberg county will nobly do her part in this work of love. Tremendous crowds of people attended the Charleston Exposition last week, and it seems that it will be a success after all. We sincerely hope so, for the enterprise deserves success in the fullest measure. - , ^ It is stated that the Boers have accepted the terms proposed by the British, and that the war in South Africa is at an end. If the news be true, it robs some people and newspapers in the United States of an occupation, who were much given to ranting about the cruel treatment of the down-trodden people who were fighting for freedom. * > A meetine1 of the executive committee o of the State Fair Association was held in r Charleston last week, at which a resolu| s ?t'ou was adopted proposing to consider propositions "from any city "Hrihc State to hold its next annual fair in that city." This means that Columbia is not giving the financial assistance to the Fair that she should, and it will be held in the city which makes the best proposition. Here is a good chance for Charleston. She should get the Fair by all means. The Exposition grounds and buildings could be used for this purpose, thereby transferK * ring the attraction to Charleston with little trouble or expense. It would be a P ; good thing for the old city, so she should , go into the competition and get the State Fair. ^ When we come to write of the life and >;V virtues of Wade Hampton, what can we say? His deeds of valor, devotion, pais.' triotism and sacrifice are writ too deeply into the hearts of all patriotic South Carolinans for us to add anything to the record. In war and in peace his every heart throb pulsed with his love for his State and his people. We have no words . to express our feelings, but it is our candid opinion that South Carolina never produced a greater man, and that we shall never see his like again. Build a monument to his memory and thus give tangible evidence to the world of the great love of his people for him, but he needs no ^ ^monument. His monument is already erected in the hearts of those who knew and loved him, and, so long as truth, %onor, and patriotism are cherished, so gfetr" long will the name of Hampton be re ' membered and revered. Wade Hampton Dead. A wave of saddness swept over South Carolina, and in fact the whole South, last Friday when the news flashed over the country that WadeHampton,the grand old soldier and patriot, had peacefully passed away at his home iu Columbia. He had been growing weal^r for several ^ . days, and his end- -was expected. HowP ever,- lri?^f ath was not due to any specific : - disease but a general breaking down. The body which had withstood hardships, sacrifices and dangers for his beloved State was tired and would fain be at rest. The funeral and burial took place at Trinity church last Sunday, aud the , services were attended by thousands from : - all over the State. The old veterans, the members of Hampton's legion, the sons of veterans, the Daughters of the Contt federacy, the State officers, and various municipal bodies marched in the funeral procession. The funeral servics were conducted by Bishop Capers, assisted by \ . other clergymen. ppv-- Telegrams of sympathy from all over the South were sent to his family, show yc ing that though VV aae Hampton was truly loved b}- all South Carolinians, this de? votion was not confined to his native State, but was felt by all people who knew him. Truly he was the greatest man South Carolina has ever produced. "We 0 except none. Why One Juror Was Scratched. In a certain case the judge ordered the sheriff to call the roll of thirty-five "good men and true,"selected for jury duty. Only twenty-two answered to their names, and p . the sheriff looked somewhat inquiringly at the judge, but the latter was calmly - wiping his glasses while he uttered the customary; "Any desiring to be excused from service on this jury will now come forward: Twenty-two men made a movement forward, and the clerk stopped his work of noting those who had failed to respond to the summons to look in wonder at the entire venire desiring to escaoe. "Well," said the judge, speaking to a long, thin, nervous-looking young man, . "why do you wish to be excused V" "If it pleases your honor," answered the aforesaid thin individual, "I'd like to be excused on account of illness. Fin suffering from something that might prove cmharrasing to the other jurors, and it is certainly embarrassing to me." "What is the nature of your illness?" , asked the judge. "Well," said the young man, hesitating-: ly, "I'd prefer to tell you in private. I'm something delicate about speaking of it in public." "I cannot hear anything in private," re-1 plied the judge impatiently. "If you want to be excused you must tell me here and now what is tin; matter with you?" "Well, if I must tell it here?I have the itch." "The itch?" eeiioed the judge, and, turning to the clerk, without marking how apropos his observation was, he said: ""Mr. Jones, scratch the juror off."?St. Louis Globe Democrat.

The Final Reply. 1 Editor Bamdkku Hekai.d?My dear 1 sir: I truly regret that my interpretation f of your English has not given nie the v proper conception of your editorials. I ^ Heartily agree with you that such words as 'malicious" and "stealthy roguery" are ( far reaching and carry with them an un- < hallowed meaning. All words in the ( English language have their specific meaning and I have used the ones you have specially mentioned, that my appro*- 1 ciation of your arraignment may be fully { understood. Parts of your editorials gave , me personal concern, I being at the head of Denmark schools. I assure you that our ] Board concurred in the sentiment 1 have ' advanced, because they felt as 1 did, that i you had used strong language in the out- ] set, so strong that we could not afford to . ignore it. To wit: "About $900 collected 1 in Bamberg district goes to schools out 5 of the district, while Denmark gets every j dollar paid in hers. This big negeo en- . rollment enables her also to get the greatest share of the dispensary fund. Small 1 wonder that she can have eight or nine = hundred dollars left over each year. This l is not an injustice only to Bamberg dis- ( trict, but to every school district in the count}', for if this padded enrollment was 1 cut oft' there would be over ?000 more < each year to be apportioned to the . schools." What do you mean by "padded enrollment?" Define fully. If you can show ' me that you did not intend to convey the ' impression that our Board of Trustees was presenting each year a fictitious, stuffed enrollment, then I owe you an apology. The word "pad," as a transi- : live verb means, "to stuff" and I felt that you were charging dishonesty, since you added, "that if this padded enrollment was cut off there would be over $(>00 ' more each year to be apportioned to the schools." , I came to the conclusion that to "pad" a school roll, to stuff it with names, that a good appropriation may be assured, represented the heinousness of a malicious : person, an act of stealthy roguery. Don't you agree with me? Upon this construction of the word "padded," I have based my honest reply. It was the hinge upon 1 which my purposes turned, and the far reaching, cutting words, were only a manly resentment, backed up by pure, sincere intentions, that you and your many readers may become apprised of our indignation. I realize I have done you an injustice 11 juu puipudvu tu jiauiL a .different picture. IsiiTH-iiat>iral then to warm up, as you describe it ? The scope of my recent reply aimed to enlarge the circle of light, because the shadow of darkness, which we considered about us, made easy contentment inadmissable. On the contrary, if you did intend to charge our officials with dishonest, irregular, illegal work, how courteous was my tone after all. It really reminds me of bowing to royalty. In order to answer some facts of your last editorial, I will be compelled to quote certain parts and answer in detail: "To come to the real question at issue: Mr. Wiggins does not attempt to explain or reply to the facts and figures cited by us, except in the matter of the salaries paid the negro teachers. There the mistake is not ours, for we took them from the official report and the difference is very slight anyway, a total of only $80. The annual report of the State Superintendent Education also gives the total negro population of Denmark of school age, (between six and twenty-one years) as ?100 hnvs and 12.1 irirls?vet it irives the total enrollment in her schools as 568?2G5 boys anil 808 girls?an enrollment of 848 more pupils than there is chililreu. He is right when he says these figures perplex us for they do, and we cheerfully admit our inability to understand how an enrollment of 568 pupils can be returned when there are only 225 of school age. If these figures are wrong who is to blame? The report is official, and was the best source of information open to us." Take up the report of State Superintendent Education and turn to table 1, page 178. Here you will find the facts about the district schools. You will observe that we have one white school in district, situated at Denmark; three negro schools, one located at Denmark and two others in country. The white school has an enrollment of 192?the three negro schools 568. So much for the district statistics. Kindly refer to table 2, page 222, for receipts and expenditures. The expenditures should be for negro schools $810. You can verify this by examining County Treasurer's books. Table 8, page 278 embraces facts about Denmark town school for whites. Having no - ? ? * - t it. n *1 i. country scnoois xor wmies, me jjcuiuuik school is classed as a town school. Table number 9, page 274 gives information about Denmark town negro school. The attendance?225 (should be 29C> means that this is the enrollment of the negro town school only. There are two more negro schools iu country as stated above, that have an enrollment which corresponds to the perplexing feature of the Herald's figures. Then iu conclusion, where do we get 343 more pupils than recorded population of negro town school? 1 modestly answer from two country schools, by names, Zion Hill and Capernaum. You can find a record of these schools in the office County Superintendent Education. I can answer you most emphatically that the enrollment of town negro school is distinctly made up of pupils residing in this district. A few boarding pupils are here. The two country schools draw on such plantations as those owned by Dr. Guess and Senator Mayfield. Besides these there many negro renters in same territory. I must acknowledge that a good number come to these country schools from adjoining districts, preferring our schools, because the}'are nearer. The law gives us the explicit right to enroll and we are glad to have them, botli white and colored. The free banner floats over our school. I am conscious of tlie tremendous enrollment of our schools, but there is no fiction about it. The material is here. You can't blot out the fact. You might still continue to discredit our presentations; however, we can put them in parade before you at any time, if you will go to the trouble of coming up to see us. Two of the schools have just closed. They are the country schools, with a combined attendance of 297. The enrollment of town negro school will probably reach 250. The white school will report ISO or more. Therefore the total will stand for the year in close touch with preceding terms. In a previous article I tried to explain to you the working of the Lizzie Wright school. From what has been given, I think you will readily agree that what has been said fully establishes the point made, that the school is for the public and can only be classed as a public school for the stipulated period heretofore mentioned. I can't at d anything more to make this clear. In the present article answer is made to your inquiry us to the enrollment. You have made the mistake in the classification of schools. The enrollment of all schools comes up pretty well in percentage of attendance. It is no trouble to get the negroes into school. The white children have been coaxed to take en- ' thusiastically to the school advantages offered them. We have succeeded beyond my expectation. I have completed my reply, giving you an honest interpretation of the facts'involved. I hope that the difference of personal equation has approached a limit ' and the medium ground has been reach- 1 ed. I have made answer to you, because 1 I considered you a fair minded man. I 1 have not been disappointed, because you ; have kept the spirit of your replies with- ! in reasonable limits. I am sure that a complete knowledge on your part of our schools would only awaken in you a fellow feeling, which would prompt you to assert what we are conscious <>i, viz: nun. ( the Denmark iljstrict is pushing every , advantage to the front. Bamberg and all other schools must do this or else be out- i stripped, outclassed in every association._ i J. Arthur Wiggins. [We assure Mr. Wiggins that the words "padded enrollment" used b}' us in a previous editorial were not intended in an offensive sense, but the expression "padded" was used to convey the idea that the enrollment of pupils in schools of the i Denmark djstript was, to some extent at east, made up of children residing out of lie bounds of said district. Tt was far loin our intention to charge that the t school ollicials had returned pupils which i vere not attending the schools. If the ( expression irritated the board and prin t jipal, it must be attributed to our poverty ^ >f language and not to a desire to inten- j sionally wouud, for we knew of no other ivord to express our meaning. Our objec- { :ion to the words 'malicious' and 'stealthy { roguery' was that it seemed to be the pur- ^ pose of our friend to attempt to place us t in the position of chargingthose officials with, an olfense against good morals and ] honest dealing, when such was not our j intention. Naturally we protested against such a construction of our language, for { t was not our purpose to stir up strife j lud ill-feeling in bringing out this ques;ion, but an honest effort to correct what ( seemed tt> us an inequality in the distri- ( tiution of public school funds. The cause if the people is the first consideration of j LIIIS ui'Wbpiipn 111 iiiiiucid ui puunu wu- | cern, and we would endeavor to remedy j x public injustice practiced in the town of Bamberg as quickly as anywhere else in , the county. We know no town nor city | boundaries when we consider that the < welfare or best interests of the people of Bamberg county are at stake. There are ^ several features of this question yet open j for discussion. Our reply last week was written hurriedly, and we were forced to ( omit some things we had intended saying. But there is no use that we can see for j continuing the controversy, as our friend ; has, in his replies, fully sustained our ] position. In order to be as brief as possible, let us state our contention: 1. That the enrollment of pupils in the negro schools of the Denmark district was not confined to pupils residing in the district. When Mr. Wiggins states: "I must ac- , knowledge that a good number come to these countrj' schools from adjoining dis- ' tricts," he admits that we are correct. As \ to the question of the right to enroll these pupils, we differ. He says they have, and possibly from a purely technical stand- ! point they have, but we most respectfully ; submit that it is inequitable and an injustice to other school districts. In this con nection we will state that we are informed that at least a f?*w pupils are enrolled in the Denmark white school who live nearer to other schools. 2. That the Denmark Industrial School was not established as and is not a free public school of the county. Mr. Wiggins admits that there are a few boarders. Of course they are returned in the enrollment, and the small number makes no difference. If this school uses the course of study prescribed for the free public schools of the State, it is of recent custom, for it was not done last year. We would not wrongfully construe our good friend's language, but a careful reading of his reply will show that our position is upheld. So this ends the matter as far as we are concerned. But a word as to those figures before we close. This newspaper has not made any mistake in the classification of schools. The report says "town schools" as plain as daylight, and if there is any mistake it rests with some one else. We understand that Mr. Wiggins furnished these statistics to the State Sunt, of Education, so he must be the party in error. But, come to think of it, that report is surely a wonderful document. Table No. 8 011 page 273 gives the total number of pupils in the Denmark white school as 183, while Table No. 1 on page 178 gives the total pupils of the same school as 192. Table No. 8 shows that of the pupils of the white school only 95 live in town. Lizzie Wright in her report to the county superintendent reports 303 pupils enrolled, while her pamphlet of information gives the number as 290. We do not mention these things to invoke further discussion, but merely to show the discrepancies in the various reports. Ouething more: Mr. Wiggins says they open the doors of their schools to children from other districts, and as these help to swell the enrollment and increase the district's share of public funds, doesn't it seem nothing but fair and just that better provision was made for accommodating them? Denmark cannot plead poverty, for the funds are available. The idea of two negro teachers at $20 a month teaching 297 children !?Ed.

Mr. Copeland Explains, Ehrijardt, S. C., April 14, 1902. Editor Bamberg Herald, Bamberg, S. C.?Dear Sir: In your paper of last week the followiug paragraph was published relative to claims disapproved by county board: "The claim of S. \V. Copeland for damages for running into a ditch and breaking liis buggy was refused." This statement is very misleading to the public, and as I desire it to be explained, I take this method of doing so. ldid not run into any ditch, but fell over an embankment made by the chain gang in grading down a hill. I was driving along a country road after dark, and where the country road comes into the public road the chain gang had graded down a hill, throwing the dirt out, thus making an ( embankment about live or six feet high. This country road forked in about 20 or BO feet of the public road, one fork going straight across to public road to Colleton county, and the other fork coming into tl.r. nntilif rnml .it. a nnint farther un the V"V - -- , J kill and leading to Ehrhardt. Here is < where the accident happened. I had been 1 accustomed to travelling this fork of the i road ; my horse was accustomed to it, and it being dark and the road not obstructed at the other end. Now, who is to blame? If any obstruction had been placed in the i road [ would have run against it and stopped and investigated, but there wasnoth- I ing to warn me of the danger ahead. I do not accuse the chain gang of purposely leaving the road open, but I do say ' that it was their carelessness in not shut- < ting up the other end that caused the accident. Mr. Bruce did have the other ; fork of the road fixed for people who were going straight across the road, but it is '> almost impossible to use it for coming < here, so much so that Mr. J. F. Copeland 1 lias moved his fence and given enough < land for a road to come out at the top of < the hill into the public road. I I only asked the county for $25, the < acttial amount paid out for doctor's bill 1 and damage to buggy, and one of the [ ounty board members took the claim for me at the suggestion of the Supervisor | tiul presented it to the board. These are the true circumstances of the case and 1 leave it to the public to say whether or not I am entitled to what I asked. S. W. Copeland.

Some years ago, while travelling on the continent, he met the principal lawyer for the government of one of the principalities, who told him of a curious legal question. It had reference to a railway station at the boundary between two principalities. Some one standing outside the window of the ticket office had put his hand through and robbed the till inside. The boundary line lay between where the thief stood and the till, so that he was actually in one territory while the crime was committed in the other. Here was a nice nut for the gentlemen learned in the law to crack. Which of the principalities should undertake the prosecution of the culprit? At it they went in good earnest, and arguments on either side were long and vehement, till the whole case was embalmed in many volumes. At last one side yielded so far as to say: "We will permit you, as an act of courtesy, to prosecute, while at the same time reserving all our sovereign rights." At this point of the recital I asked, "And how did the prosecution end?" "Ah! that is quite another matter," said my friend.

The Judge was severely averse to profanity and there was much curiosity to see what would happen one day when Joshua was called to the witness stand in Court.

Joshua paid the money and resumed. By extraordinary effort he succeeded in delivering several unobjectionable sentences, but, warming up to his subject, he relapsed into his usual vocabulary. Again did the Judge impose a fine. Now, tlamiug with wrath, Joshua asked: "Judge, cau you flue me for thinking in Court?" "Why, no; of course, not!" was the answer.
