The harvesting of oats is going forward at a rapid rate in this section. There is very little sickness in and around town, we are glad to state.

The Ocala platform farmers' club held a meeting, as advertised, last Friday after noon to hear from the candidates for Magi strate. Messrs. G. P. Harmon and R.S.8 immons were present and answered i the "Ocala demands." The other candidates for this position were not present, and it is possible that there will be another meeting, to hear from them. kAs an indication of the interest Bamberg county's citizens are taking in educational matters, it is gratifying to note that in three school districts elections were held recently on the question of levying an extra tax for school purposes, and in each district the tax was voted almost unanimously. We are glad to see this spirit, and congratulate our people on their progressiveness along educational lines. Last Sunday afternoon Mr. W. T. Faucett was arrested at the depot, just as he was about to take the train for Augusta, on the charge of acting as labor agent without license. It was claimed that Mr. Faucett was here hiring hands for the King mill in Augusta, and the warrant was issued at the instigation of the management of the cotton mill here. Some excitement was created by the arrest. The preliminary hearing was to - have been held Monday afternoon at three o'clock, but the matter was settled by Mr. Faucett signing an agreement not to make any further attempts to get labor in Bamberg. He was thereupon released from custody, and left fc>r Augusta Monday night. Blackberries are ripe and the negroes are in clover. In fact, we can all be glad now. Some people around here seem to imagine that a newspaper man never needs any money. Reports from all sections are to the effect that the general outlook for crops is promising. On account of the rain of last Saturday, the Boston Photo Co. will make sittings next Saturday, the 7th. Remember the entertainment by the ladies of the Baptist church at the Fitting School chapel Friday evening. Mr. J. D. Felder announces himself as a candidate for Auditor and Superintendent of Education in this issue. City council held a regular monthly meeting Tuesday afternoon, but only rnntinp business was transacted. It would seem that the patrons of the Bamberg postoffice are entitled to a light in the front so that they may see how to get their mail at night. The Phillipines government bill passed the United States Senate Tuesday. Senator McLauriu, of South Carolina, was the only Democrat who voted for it. County Chairman H. C. Folk will soon call the' county Democratic executive committee together for the purpose of arranging for the county campaign, etc. We do not think the people of Bamberg county would complain if both campaign parties gave us the go by. Our people are too busy with their crops to bother with politics. The ladies of the Baptist church will give an ice cream festival at the Fitting School chapel Friday evening, for the benefit of the parsonage. The public is invited. Go and help out a good cause. Those interested in erect ing the monument should not let their interest die out. The crop outlook is promising, and now is the time to secure subscriptions, the money to be payable this fall. Peace has been declared between the Boers and England, and the terms of surrendes are liberal to the Dutch people. Let us hope it will be many years before civilized nations engage in another war. There were few people in town last Monday, notwithstanding the fact that it was salesday. The board of supervisors if registration were in session. There was only one public sale, that by the Master of the house and lot in town of Mr. Edgar Dickinson, it was bought by Fincken, Jordan & Co., the mortgagees, for $450. A few days ago Mr. Ed. McDermand, ;he photographer, handed us a copy of die Evening Press, published at Grand Rapids, Michigan, in which there was arinted a glowing tribute to "Stonewall" iackson, written by an ex-confederate soldier, who was a member of Jackson's trmy. That a Northern paper should publish this tribute is significant, and shows that, in some sections at least, the war is over, and that the great men of aoth sides are receiving the tributes due ;hem. Mr. Frank C. Pooser, who is interested :n the Bamberg Iron Works, has given up lis situation with the Southern Railway shops in Columbia, to take charge of the nechanical department of the shops in Bamberg.

Monday afternoon a telegram was received by Dr. J. B. Black, telling of the death of Mr. S. T. Inabinet, which sad event occurred that day at his home in Asheville, N. C., where he had lived for nearly two years. The burial is to take place at the Denmark cemetery this (Wednesday) morning at ten o'clock. Although it was rumored here and at Denmark on Saturday and Sunday -that Mr. Inabinet was dead, many of our people thought it must be a mistake, for it was only a tew months ago that he was among us looking hale and hearty. The news was that his death was caused by consumption and his healthy appearance made many of us skeptical "as to the trutn ot ine nrst rumors 01 ins ueaiu. Mr. Inabinet was about fifty years old, and leaves a wife but no children. He was born between this town and Denmark, at the place where he lived until his removal to Asheville. He has a number of relatives in this community, and many will be sad over his death. He was a genial, jolly fellow, always in a good humor, and his cheerful disposition made him many friends. "You look preoccupied Hiram," saic his wife. "I feel as if I were going to have the grip," replied Mr. Jyner. And he put on his hat and went dowr town to join another secret societyChicago Tribune.

Bishop Duncan arrived on the evening train and was out at the evening service, having just returned to the State from the General Conference, as was also the case ( with Dr. J. A.

Some of the many friends were invited to attend its closing exercises at the school house Friday evening. Then Saturday was the day of feast; the Hartzog folks banded together and visited the Ed.isto river at the Southern crossing to enjoy themselves in a jolly picnic. Lemonade and fish were "all the go" until the rain started its dampening effects, then the crowd started on their way home. Messrs. J. W., J. F., R. W. Rhode, and A. W. Hunter spent Friday night at the river; their pleasure was to catch the fish for the next day, which, as for their part, they willingly did. The Hunter's Chapel school was a very successful one this season under the care of Mr. P. K. Rhoad, who has been elected to teach it next term. We had several good showers of rain in?t wppk and the eroDS are still looking fine. Mr. G. T. Rhoad was taken very sick last Sunday night; we are glad to report that he is better now. Mrs. J. H. Fender and son, Sims, visited her family in the Oak Grove section last Sunday. Mr. J. H. A. Carter and his niece, Miss Arrie Hiers, spent last Sunday night at the house of Mr. J. H. Fender. Miss Lila Black, who has been sick for sometime, is very low at the time of this writing. J..W. R. Country Correspondence. A very refreshing rain fell Saturday. The farmers have begun harvesting their oats. A real good crop is realized. There is no hard fevers in this vicinity as yet, but we fear for it later. Miss Mary Till and brother, of near Ehrherdt, visited the family of Mrs. Alice Sandifer Saturday and Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Rentz and Miss Georgie Jordan visited the Oak Grove neighborhood Saturday, returning Monday. The many friends of Mr. "Washie Hughes sympathize with him in the loss Df his wife. She had been a sufferer of gastric fever for quite awhile, and Saturday morning at six o'clock the angel of death came and claimed her for his own. She was a young woman of even tempera-' ment; was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Ayer. Her remains were laid to rest till the resurrection morn in the cemetery it Pleasant Hill Sunday' morning by many loving hands. Rev. E. M. McKissick conducted the funeral services. Her home tvas near Pleasant Hill, and she was very instrumental in the good work there. She will be missed. Mr. Hughes is very sick ilso. Colston News. Colston, June 2.?It pains us to chronicle the sad death of Mrs. G.Washie Hughes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. M. A.yer. She was a devoted daughter, a loving wife, and a sincere friend. She liad been sick for quite a while with gastritis, but bore her suffering with great nerve until on the morning of the 31st of May, when her spirit, took its flight. Deceased was about 25 years old, and was i member of Pleasant Hill Methodist church, at which place her body was interred on Sunday last. Rev. E. M. MeKissick, the pastor, performed the burial ceremony. Several people from Colston visited the Exposition last week, and report a great ;ime, The chain gang is doing some nice svork on our public highways in this coinnunity, this being the second time only ;hat we have had them to do any work n this immediate neighborhood since Ramberff countv has been created. Most of our farmers are up with their work, and crops are looking very nicely, ilthough a nice rain would do a great leal of good at present. Our boys have commenced to play ball, rod as soon as the plowing season is over tvill play several match games. W. H. V. Ehrliardt Etchings. Ehrhakdt, June 3.?Mrs. J. J. Zeigler, }f Colston, is visiting Mr. an d Mrs. J. F. Fender. We are glad to announce that Mrs. J. L. Copeland and little son have returned aome, after an extended visit to her parents. There was quite an exciting base ball ^ame took place here on Saturday afteraoon last between the Oak Grove and Kearse teams. This being the midway ground rendered it more accessible for sach team. The Kearse team had an easy walk-over, the score being ?' to 3. We tiope they will soon cross bats again, as it ifforded a good deal of amusement for as all. On Saturday an impromptu dance was ?iven in Copeland's hall, in which many jf our young folks participated, thus affording a great deal of pleasure to those who had worked so ljard to win the game. Mr. Gibb Kearse, while attendihg this lance, fell the whole length of the staircase and dislocated and" probably fractured his arm. "All aboard fcr Augusta," is the signal we soon expect to hear, as a corps of surveyors are here mapping out the line from Olar to this poiut. Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Fender are spending i few days with Mr. Berry Padgett at Lodge. Mrs. G. W. Hughes, who has been sick for several months past, died last Saturday morning. Interment took place Sunday morning at Pleasant Hill. Rev. E. M. McKissick conducted the services, which were largely attended. Mrs. Hughes was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Ayer. She leaves a husband and a large connection of relatives and friends. On last Monday morning, June 2,1902, our school after being in session nine months, was duly brought to a close for the summer vacation. Many of the students have made rapid advancement during the past session under the strictest rules of accuracy and intellectual training. During the past two sessions our school huff been enjoying the fruitful and abiding labor of Mr. C. F. Wertz, of Newberry, S. C. The first year that he came in our midst betook charge of the primary department of our school, which he managed with skill and success, but on account of his intellectual ability and training he was destined not to remain in the rear, but come to the front. Consequently he was elected principal of our school for the past session. It is without the slightest >?Pcit?t.ion that we are duty bound to speak highly of the manner in which he has successfully autl highly creditably managed his school duties for the past session. Below is given a list of the names of those who made an average of 90 and over in their daily grades and examination at the close of the last scholastic month. These names appeared on the honor roll: Eddie Ruthward Bishop, Harry Ehrhardt, Walter Hubert Chisolm, W illiam Clem mens Carter, Julius F. Ehrhardt, Lionell Clayton, Ned Ehrhardt, James Benedict Ehrhardt, Herman McKissick, LeRoy Westerlund, Arthur Powell, Corine McKissick, Harry Bert Powell, Flossie Murdaugh, Sallie Carter, Willie McKissick, Egbert Allen Burnett, Sidney Padgett, Marion Bishop, Ryan Clayton, Harry Earle Copeland. Although these names deserve especial mention, still we must not fail to say that the majority of the school attained an average of over eighty. I believe that there were only two who failed on their examinations out of an enrollment of fifty, consequently we must say: "Well done thou good and faithful servant." The commencement season is upon us, and the voice of the sweet girl graduate is heard in the land. ?t??????a?w???? BUSINESS AMERICAN ART. Not Mathematics, but u Matter of Creative Imagination. "The idea of business in a country that has reached the height of its development is a dry r.s dust affair," says Hutchins Hapgood in Aicslee's. "It is the miserable system of keeping what one has, a system in which the temperament and the imagination do not play a part. The American, however, puts imagination into business. Business is the art of this country. To the American of affairs there are in his work excitement, charm ar.d color. To him it is not a matter of mathematics, but of the creative imagination. Great processes. great inventions, great corporations?the organization of such things requires genius. "Nobody is stupider, more avaricious and more economical in a small way than a French peasant or a German hausfrau. Nobody is less avaricious and more economical in a big way than a great American inventor, financier or business man. Through his brains production becomes cheaper and consequently more abundant, and more good to the common people thereby accrues than by all the small savings ever made since civilization began. It is better to be able to make than to save, and to make much a large outlay in money, energy and brains is necessary. To save pennies is a sign of commercial incompetence and national decline. "When an Individual or a nation begins a system "of housekeeping on a small scale, it is a sign that the lifeblood is ebbing. Old people, drier and less resourceful than young people, are notoriously more economical. They, like old nations, want to hang on to what they have rather than strive for more. The wisdom of the French peasant consists in keeping down his expenditure and the size of his family to a point wher^ the nation as a whole is weakened. As Bacon said, 'He that hath a state to repair may not despise 6mall things,' and perhaps the decay of the country is tbe cause rather than the effect of French economy. Anyway the two things hang closely together." A FAMOUS PAINTING. One Figure In a Japanese Picture Visible Only at Night. Some of the finest Japanese paintings in Washington are in the legation building of that nation, the Japanese embassador being a collector and connoisseur of the art of his native land. The Japanese style of painting is altogether uulike that of Europe and America, and the reason Japanese painters are able to produce color effects that are the despair of European and American artists is owing to the pigments they use, a large number of which are secret and unknown out siae or japuu. In Japan there is a very famous painting which no amount of money could buy and which is the masterpiece of a famous artist who lived several centuries ago. Viewing the painting in the daytime, one is disappointed. It shows nothing more than a very commonplace landscape, unrelieved by mountains or hills. As soou, however, as night falls one begins to realize the peculiar merit of the picture, for upon the canvas there appears a luminous water buffalo (caribou) browsing upon the grass at its feet. The artist who painted this picture discovered a certain phosphorescent paint, which he obtained from the bodies of certain mollusks, or fish, and with which he painted the buffalo that, invisible In daylight, is luminously brilliant in the dark. The secret of making this paint died with the artist, fho nature, which hanes In a Bud dhist temple, has proved a fertile source of superstition, the priests claiming that the buffalo hides away in the shade behind some trees in the picture during the heat of the day, coming out at night to graze.?Washington Post Flah That Kill Each Other.
