to allow the streets of the town to be

The various county conventions held
throughout the State last Monday were
as a rule harmonious and uuenthusiastic,

adopted resolutions condemning
* his course.
Complaints have been made to us of
t ' the practice of some young people in pick.
i ing flowers from the lots in the old cerne\
tery, and the request made that we would
? state that this is strongly objected to by
? lot owners and those having relatives
buried there. No person has a right to
\ pluck these flowers, and the practice
should be discontinued. This notice
should be sufficient, but if not, those interested
expect to prosecute those who
continue in doing so.

Runaway Accident.
Last Monday Mr. J. M. Jennings drove
to Denmark to take the early Seaboard
train, his little son accompanying him to
bring the horse and buggy back. On his
way home the horse commenced running
away down the clay hill just outside of
the town limits. The little fellow climbed
out the back of the buggy and escaped
injury, and the horse ran on. Near the
colored Methodist church some negroes
attempted to stop the horse by getting in
front of him, but he turned quickly to the
right at the cross street where there is a
bridge and fell on the bridge, breaking
his right fore leg just above the hoof. It
is thought that he will get well, on account
of the leg being fractured just where
it is.
A Louisville clergyman was guilty of
making the following unpardonable
mistake the other, day: He was called upon
to conduct a funeral. At the close of
his discourse he said: "The friends of the
deceased will now be permitted to pass
around the bier." |

Three Mile?C. R. Clayton, J. M. Dannelly,
M. J. Johns, B. H. Carter, I. W.
Carter, J. C. Copeland.
There being no contesting delegations
this was declared the roll of the convention.
A permanent organization was
then effected by the election of H. C. Folk
as president; A. W. Knight and J. M. Dannelly,
vice presidents; R. W. D. Rowell,
secretary; B. W* Miley, treasurer. H. C.
Folk was then unanimously and by a ris- ;
ing vote elected as county chairman for I
the ensuing two years.
For the position of member of the State i
Democratic executive committee, J. M.
Dannelly, C. B. Free, A. W. Knight, ]
C. W. Garris, and S. G. Mayfield were
nominated. All except Mr. Free with- !
drew and he was elected unanimously. <
At this stage of the meeting First Vice 1
President A. W. Knight was called to the <
chair by Mr. Folk, aud the election of del- ]
egates to the State convention was taken 1
up. J. M. Dannelly, H. C. Folk, C. B- I

Mayfield, and W. S. Bamberg were nom- i
inated.. A motion was made to close i
nominations and the convention proceed- ]
ed to a ballot, Juo. R. Bellinger and J. 1
Crum Smoak acting as tellers. "While the 1
ballot was in progress J. D. Feldvr moved l
that each nominee express himself as to 1
whether he was a Democrat, Commercial '
Democrat, or Republican. The chair 1
ruled his motion out of order. A motion j
was then made by Senator Mayfield to t
reconsider the vote by which nominations i
were closed, which was carried, and each 1
gentleman expressed himself. Most of i
them contented themselves with the I
simple statement that they were Demo- 1
crats, others were opposed to McLaurin,
others endorsed some of his views but
were opposed to his course. All seemed
of the opinion that he had deserted his
party and gone over to the Republicans.
The following received the highest nura
ber of votes and were declared elected as
delegates: S. G. Mayfield, J. M. Dannelly,
H. C. Folk, C. WT. Garris, C. B. Free, Wr. *
S. Bamberg. Each -delegate to appoint J
his own alternate. 1
H. C. Folk offered the following pre- *
amble and resolutions, which were adopt- 1
ed with only one negative vote: 1
Whereas, the name of the Hon. S. G. 1
Mayfield has been prominently mentioned
by the newspapers of the State as a j
possible candidate for the office of Lieutenant
Governor, and, whereas, he has
served the cause of Democracy with un- I
tiring zeal, and the people of Bamberg o
county and the State at large faithfully
and with conspicious ability in the State
Senate, therefore be it '
Resolved, that we the Democrats of
Bamberg county,in convention assembled, j
do hereby endorse him for the said posi- j
tion and recommend him to the voters of
the State as one who in botlLDrivate and 1
public life has demon^^Hkiat he is a <
man of ability, hpn^d^Wnutegrity, and 1
well worthy "to wear the honor of the ,
position to which he aspires.
2. That we request that he not resign
as Senator to enter the campaign, so that <
in auy event the Senate will not be de- i
prived of his valuable services.
C. F. Rizer offered the following resolution,
which was adopted:
Whereas, the Hon. G. Duncan Belling- .
er has filled every office of trust ever held
by him with ability and to our entire sat- '
isfaction and he being now a candidate
for congress: ,
Resolved, that we, the democrats of Bamberg
county, in convention assembled, do
k a hf? a !? a Uaa n Hnnoon T) ol _
iiCieuy CUUU1SC tUC UUii. u. i/uuvau 17VI
linger for congress and recommend him
to the favorable consideration of the vot- ;
ers of the second congressional district. (
The following names were then enroll- j
ed as the county executive committee
with their postoffice addresses:
Three Mile?J. C. Copeland, Ehrhardt. (
Govau?L. L. Lancaster, Go van.

Some of the clubs were not represented,
either by delegates or members of the
county executive committee. The following
resolution was then introduced by C.
W. Garris by request of J. D. Felder:
Resolved, that at the coming primary
election in August next and thereafter
the candidates for all offices, except Supervisor
of Registration, shall be voted
for, and the candidate for each office receiving
a majority of the votes cast shall
be declared the nominee in accordance
with the rules of the Democratic party.
It was opposed by A. W. Knight, S. G.
Mayfield and.others, Mr. Felder being the
only delegate making a speech in favor
of its adoption. The argument advanced
against it -w as that it would make our
county primaries top heavy, resulting in
a multiplicity of candidates. After discussion,
on motion of A. W. Knight, the
resolution was laid on the table.
The convention then adjourned. Immediately
after adjournment the county
! executive committee held a short session,
and R. W. I). Rowell was elected secretary.
News from Kearse.
-----Kearse,
May 5.?My how hot it island
has beeu fo r a week. A great big ice-man
would be a welcome sight to us just uow.
Capt. John Breland, who has been spending
some few days in our midst, returned
to his home in Berkeley county last
Thursday.'
Some of our young folks attended a
picnic at or near Ulmer last Thursday.
All report a. jolly time until, when returning
to thei:: respective homes, some of
them were caught in a tremendous sandstorm.
If you would know how seveie
the storm was, ask those that were in it.
Our friend, Master Stacy Kearse, lost his
hat in it, s.nd consequently had to go
home bareheaded. ,
We are pleased to have Misses Maxie
and Justine Hiers, of Sraoaks, Colleton
county, spend a few weeks with us. We
only hope they may be encouraged to repeat
the visit.
Measles i3 raging in our neighborhood.
We are determined to be in the style, and
you know measles is the latest.
Dr. H. M. Brabham is the proudest man
in our vicinity. A nice little boy reigns
supreme in his home.
Messrs. H. J. Bitter and J. F. Kearse
are in Bamberg today, attending the county
Democratic convention.
We are at present in want of some rain
to help make cabbage, Irish potatoes,
beans, etc.
In closing I would say we hope to see
you all at Mt. Pleasant Sunday school pi >
nic on Thursday, May 15.
Hartzog against C. F. S.
The Hartzog base ball team went up
against that of the Fitting School last
Saturday afternoon on the C. F. S. campus.
We arrived at Bamberg about noon
and learned that we were expected to
wipe the C. F. S. boys out, but this was
not our talk, for we were there to get
what they called a "wiping up." The C.
F. S. boys are afrieudly and gentlemanly
crowd, and all of our boys were invited to
the hall to take dinner with them. When
dinner was over the 0. F. S. boys were
ready for the game which the Hartzog
boys hurried to. We are sorry that our
boys had never played in their positions
and could not give these "giants" a better
?ame, then we are glad that we were able
to do as well as we did, for we doubted if
Hartzog would make a score when we
saw the C. F. S. boys. This is the best
practice that we have had this year, and
wish the C. F. S. boys and all others tbat
will to come to our grounds on the seven:eenth
and see if C. F. S. can send the ball
under the bouse or over the fence the e.
They treated us with best respects before
mdafter the game,and while the gamew as
?oing on there wasn't any thing to excite
the players. Yes, we have been to C. F.
3. if they did put it on us thirty to five,
md we are willing to tote more or less
just what they can put on us the next
time. Come all on the seventeenth and *e
will treat you right.
Rough! tough! Hartzog is the stuff,
Plays base ball and never gets enough
Hush, hear C. F. S. say
They can put it on us any day.

Hartzog Happenings.
Hartzog, May 5.?Our farmers are
smiling over their beautiful corn. Messrs.
Hunter, Rhoad, Patrick, and Parker have
the brag corn so far, and I guess they hope
;o continue. Cotton is looking fine; what
s not chopped out is needing it bad. I
think a number of acres will get it next
iveek.
Miss Maggie Black visited her sister,
Mrs. Lula Yarn, at Weimers last week.
There was a very enjoyable quilting
>iven at Mrs. Mattie Fender's last Tueslay.
Mr. Eugene Hutto, of Midway, was in
the vicinity Sunday.
Watch out, Bamberg boys; if you don't
nind your time will come on the 17th.
Hartzog is not whipped; was only overpowered
by not being used to running
Dver fences and under houses for the ball.
wnen you piay wnu us we win give you
i very sunny place but room in plenty.
We are very glad to know that Messrs. J.
0. and D. T. Sinoak will join our base
ball team soon.
Mr. C. A. Patrick was very sick with
measles last week, but is better now.
We were sadly disappointed by not hearing
Rev. E. M. McKissick preach Sunday
afternoon.
Mr. Bottoms, one of the chain gang
guards, was in our neighborhood Sunday.
Fire at Dennark.
Denmark,May 3.?The house owned by
Mrs. Fannie Carroll and used as a residence
and restaurant was burned Friday
night at 11 o'clock. Insurance $500 on
bouse and furniture. Cause of fire not
known, as the building was in flame s when
discovered. The family saved nothing.
flay Practice Law in Washington.
A dispatch from Washington to the
daily papers says:
No surprise was felt here at Senator
McLaurin's admission that he will not be
in the race for the senate this summer.
It has been known for some time that
he would not submit to taking a primary
pledge and the announcement of his
withdrawal has been expected, especially
since Senator Tillman's speech at Manning.
Members of the South Carolina delegation
declare it is McLaurin's last statement
before he casts aside his democracy
disguise to emerge a full fledged republican.
Senator Tillman's only comment was:
"I knew it a year ago."
Senator McLaurin refuses to discuss
his plans for the future. There is no
authority for the frequent reports that he
is to be given an office by President
Roosevelt. It is probable that he will
continue the practice of law in this city,
where be already has an office.
"I am intoxicated with love." said the
young man.
"You would find spiritus frumentimuch
cheaper,1' said the old fellovr.
THE SOUND OF A PIANO.
Seeming: Defect* That May Be Often
Dae to Exterior Cause*.
"A piano," said a dea er, "will sometimes
develop or seem to develop a
I flaw in some one note, which comes to
have t* rattle or jingle or unpleasa. t
burr to it, but this jarring sound which
seems to come from the piano may in
reality come from some source quite
outside of it
"Any given note when struck produces
a certain number of vibrations to
uie second. luuk may ue in lue ruuw
some object that is in tone sympathy
j with some particular note, and that
will be set in motion by it when that
note is sounded.
"The owner,of a fine piano sent to us
one day to say that there was something
wrong about a certain note of
the instrument, so thai that note had
an unpleasant sound when struck.
When I heard the note aounded, I knew
at once that the disagreeable roughness
or buzz about it was due not to
any defect in the piano, but to something
somewhere about in the room,
and, asking the lady to strike that note
occasionally, I walked around the room
to see if I could locate it.
"Passing across the middle of the
room as that note was struck, the
cause of the jarring accompaniment of
it was discovered to come from the vibration
of one of the glass globes on
the chandelier overhead.
"The owner of the piano was almost
incredulous as to this, the sound had
seemed so plainly to come from the
piano itself. But when at my request
she stood under the chandelier and I
struck the note she was readily con-1
vinced.
"I made that glebe Immovable and
then struck the note on the piano. The
answer was clear and sweet and true.
"So, you see, the sound of the piano
may for one thing depend much upon
its surroundings, and what may seem
to be a defect in a piano may be in reality
attributable to something quite
apart from the piano itself.
"And thus it might easily be that
some noble instrument that had seemed
to be declining or to be developing
faults owed its apparent change to a
change of environment or to some specific
outside cause and was in reality
as good as ever, as would happily be
discovered whenever the instrument
was again brought under favorable
conditions."?Chicago Inter Ocean.
POPULAR SCIENCE.
The microbe of the tuberculosis may
live on a book 103 days, as has been
shown by experiment.
Of 1,000 parts of the moon 57G are
visible to us on the earth; 424 parts remain
hidden absolutely to man's eyes.
Without its atmosphere, which serves
as a coverlet to protect it against the
fearful cold of space, the surface of the
earth would be frozen like that of the
airless moon.
A certain duration oi' a luminous impression
Is necessary to produce an effect
on the retina. Hence it is that we
do not see a very rapidly moving object,
such as a bullet fired from a gun.
If this globe were cooled down to 200
degrees below zero of centigrade, It
would oe covered wnn a sea 01 liquefied
gas thirty-five feet deep, of which
about seven feet would be liquid oxygen.
Blood travels from the heart through
the arteries ordinarily at the rate of
about twelve iuches per second. Its
speed through the capillaries is at the
rate of three one-hundredths of an inch
per second.
Fishing Through Street Gratlnffa*
In Winchester, England, it is quite a
common thing to see men fishing
through the street gratings. Under the
High street there flow several streams
which ultimately discharge into the
river Itchen, a noted trout stream.
These streams receive the storm and
surface water from the street by means
of the ordinary street grating. The line
is dropped through and fastened to the
end of a stick small enough to go
through the grate. When the fish is
hooked, the lino and stick are dropped
through the grating, and the flsfi&rman
rushes to the point where the stream
omarroa frnm under the street and is
there able to recover his line and land
his fish.
Cause For Separation*
Her Pastor?Do you not know that
what God has joined together man
should not put asunder?
The Divorcee?It was not a man in
our case. It was a milliner.
"A what?"
"A milliner. You see, my husband
said he'd rather pay alimony than buy
hats, as it would be cheap^ in the
long run."?New York Times.
Education.
What sculpture is to a block of marble
education is to a human soul. The
philosopher the saint and the hero, the
wise, the gibd and the great man very
often lie hid and concealed in a plebeian,
which a proper education'might
have disinterred and brought to light ?
Addison.
Euy Choice.
"Which do you prefer," asked the
friend, "classical music or classical
plays?"
"Classical music, every time," answered
Mr. Cumrox. "There's always
noise enough in that to keep you
awake."?Washington Star.
Not Vied to Them.
Cfl.rrye?Cholly never eats brains.
Maye?And why not?
Oarrye?Why, he is afraid they will
go to his head.?Judge.
The greatest bay in the world is that
