THURSDAY, Jl'iVE 26, 1962.
While this newspaper is opposed to the
child labor bill, it seems almost sure that
some law along this line will be passed by
the next general assembly. Therefore, it
seems to us, it would be good policy and
patriotism on the part of the manufacturers
to get together and arrange some
compromise measure which will be gradual
in its operations. Unless this is
done we fear that a drastic measure will
be passed which will bring hardship and
poverty and want to many poor families.
Something is going to be done, we verily
believe, and there should be patriotism
enough for us all to work together and
do the best thing possible under the circumstances.
It is very evident from the slim attendance
at the campaign meetings, both for
State and National offices, that the people
are either tired of the meetings or are too
busy to attend. The present "campaign
of education" is a colossal farce, and some
change will surely have to be made.
There are several reasons why this is

candidates are certainly not reaching the
people, and this is the very purpose for
which the meetings are called. Then the
z legitimate expenses of a campaign are
getting too heavy. There are plenty of
men now running, who, if elected, will
be poorer at the end of their terms, than
V- ^ at present. We are not yet ready to advocate
a return to the convention plan of
fi * making nominations, but we sincerely believe
such a plan is better than the present
one. Of one thing we are sure, however,
the campaign meeting system will
topple of its own weight and there will
be a change of some kind, and we do not
expect to see campaign meetings held in
this State two vears hence for either
National or State offices. It is possible
the primary plan will be continued, but
each candidate will make his campaign
in his own way. This appears to be the
best solution.

Ehrij arot, Juue 24.?Among the young
people of Ehrhardt there is continual joy
and pleasures forevermore, and some of
these are "finding the charm with Eden
\ never lost." The great magnet, love, is
always drawing hearts, and they with
hands united will go through the break|
ers of life, and, with the Great Father as
the guide, enter the heaven of eternal
rest.
Last Sabbath at the residence of the
bride's father, Mr. Henry Ehrhardt, Miss
May was happily married to Mr. Emmett
P. Copelapd, Rev. J.H. Wilson officiating.
A sweet sadness pervaded the scene.
In the dear home of her childhood this
young lady has blossomed into young
- womanhood, and on this beautiful, bright
5 Lord's day, so significant of the rest beV
yond, this fair maiden is plighted to leave
home "and forsaking all others" cleave
only unto him who hath won her troth
"until death doth part."
Promptly at 10 o'clock, as the strains of
Mendelssohn's grand old wedding march
were heard, Miss Salome Wilson with Mr.
Jake Carter entered as the first heralds
of the approaching pair. Then came Miss
Joe Copeland with Mr. Jno. Hartz; Miss
r-:??i xr,. Pn^oioiul.
iliattlC muai U ? ii/ii *tii, nana vv^viuuvi,
Miss Ruth Copeland with Prof Fulmer;
Miss Clara Copeland with Mr. Ed. CopeJand;
Miss Sallie Hartz with Mr. Raymond
Ehrhardt. Then the lovely bride entergp
ed leaning on the arm of he who had
chosen her as a parther to his heart and
home, and while the beautiful ceremony
of the Lutheran church was delivered in
a manner so sincere the lovely "Prayer"
from "DerFreischutz" was heard soft and
low.
The bride was attired in a handsome
gown of white French organdie combined
with satin with ribbon and applique trimmings.
The groom wore an elegant black
. suit.
After the ceremony, which was witnessed
by more than two hundred invited
guests, congratulations from loving hearts
and unfeigned lips and heartfelt prayers
p ' for the weal of this couple were lavished.
The wedding party attended divine
services at the Lutheran church. At 2.30
p. m. dinner was announced, and such a
feast was spread as would do honor to the
king himself. The dining room was a
picture of loveliness, being decorated with
evergreens and flowers. The large table,
representing a hollow square, fairly
groaned beneath its burden of cut flowers
and delicacies tit for the gods. In the
centre was a table of handsome ferns and
flowers. ,
'Tis needless to say that it was enjoyed
by the entire company, and the occasion
will long linger in the minds and hearts
of the happy couple, now husband and
wife.
The bride received many very valuable
and useful presents, which attest to her
popularity.
At G o'clock the ring and thimble cake
was cut and the lots fell on Miss Clara
Copeland and Miss Joe Copeland.
May Heaven's richest blessings rest on
g the newly wedded pair. S.

BAMBERG'S CAMPAIGN MEETING 2
The Candidates for State Offices Ad- J
dress the Voters Here East
Thursday.
The State campaign meeting was held t
in Bamberg last Thursday. It was in the 1
main a quiet, orderly, and interesting <
meeting. The candidates came here from 1
Orangeburg, and bright and early Thurs- :
day morning the town had begun to take 1
on" a lively appearance, for the loquacious 1
office-seeker was astir, hunting votes. The
meeting was held in the court house at
eleven o'clock, and by this time a number
of our friends from the country had ,
arrived. The house was fairly well filled, !
the audience numbering about four ,
hundred.
County Chairman H. C. Folk called the ,
meeting to order, and Rev. M. L. Law son, ,
pastor of the Bamberg Baptist church,
offered a fervent prayer. Mr. Folk then
announced the time allotted to each can- (
didate. the gubernatorial aspirants being
given 30 minutes, ten minutes for attorney
general and superintendent of education, 1
and all others five minutes each.
A TOKEN OF ESTEEM.
Just here Senator S. G. May field walked
to the rostrum, and in brief but wellchosed
words presented to County Chairman
Folk a beautiful gold headed cane
as a slight token of the high regard he ,
was held by the Democracy of Bamberg
county, it being a gift from the party to
the only County Chairman Bamberg has
ever had. Mr. Folk was taken completely
by surprise, but he made a most eloquent (
and feeling response. The reporter for (
the daily papers said "his response was a
literary gem," and it was. Mr. J. E. Nor- i
ment, our friend of long standing, was
the reporter for the daily press, and his
report of the meeting was an able one
and eminently fair to each candidate. He
was also very complimentary to Chairman
Folk for the able manner in which 1
be presided over the meeting. When the
time of a speaker was up, he was promptly
but courteously called down, and by 1
this wise action the meeting was not near
so long and tiresome as it would have
been had candidates been permitted to
question each other.
The first speakers were the aspirants
for the position of
ATTORNEY GENERAL,
U. X. Gunter, Jr., and W. F. Stevenson.
Mr. Gunter gave his record as Assistant
rjonpr.il and asked for SUODort
on bis record. Spoke of Mr. Stevenson
as a corporation lawyer. Gunter made a
good impression.
Stevenson opened by referring to his
efforts in the legislature in helping to
form Bamberg county. Said he had never
received a salary as a railroad attorney,
had always been paid fees. Had handled
cases for the railroads and cases against
them, was now employed by the Attorney
General to assist in a suit against a railroad
It was through his efforts that the Seaboard
Air Line had been chartered as a
domestic corporation. Both Gunter and
Stevenson received applause.
SECRETARY OF STATE.
Col. J. Harvey Wilson, of Sumter, was
the tirst speaker for the office of Secretary
of State. He made a modest, manly speech,
which was well received, briefly reciting
his record.
Col. J. T. Austin, of Greenville, gave
his record as a public servant. Had served
his home people well and faithfully.
J. T. Gantt, now chief clerk in the office,
spoke of the duties of the office and related
his services there. The income had
been largely increased, and he should
liave a snare ot tne creun.
THE SCHOOL QUESTION.
O. B. Martin, of Greenville, discussed
educational matters and wanted to be
elected State Superintendent of Education.
Condemned the wholesale changing
of school books and was liberally applauded.
,
Jno. J. McMahan, the present incumbent,
was not present, and Chairman Folk
read a letter from him.
THE TAX DEPARTMENT.
W. H. Sharpe, G. L. Walker, N. W. 1
Brooker, and A. W. Jones, all of whom
want to be Comptroller General, present- 1
ed their claims. All spoke pleasantly of 1
their competitors, but Mr. Brooker i
claimed that reforms in the office were
needed and spoke of some insurauce fees
not being paid to the State treasurer '<
promptly. 1
THE "MELISHEE."
Three candidates for Adjutant and In- ,
spector General asked for the support of ]
the voters of Bamberg county: John D. ,
Frost, now assistant, J. C. Bo}-d of Green- (
ville, and Geo. Douglas House, of Charles- j
+/->n Prr*ct in o mftiilv wav. snoke

bis record in the office and his efforts
to build up the military arm of the .
government. Col. Boyd alluded to his (
military record, and Dr. House asked ]
that Charleston be given a showing.
FOK RAILROAD COMMISSIONER.
For this office eight candidates present- 1
ed themselves: Jas. Causler, W. B. Evans, '<
B. L. Caughman, A. C. Jepson, H. J.
Kiuard, J. S. Mobley, J. C. Wilborn, and |
G. Wolling. Each "presented his claims
in a clear, comprehensive way. This must 1
be the best office in the State, judging 1
from the number of aspirants. Mr.
Wilborn has heretofore been nominated
without opposition, and is seeking re- '
election.
CHIEF EXECUTIVE. j
The candidates for governor came next, (
Col. W. J. Talbcrt being the first speaker. ]
He spoke of the high duties and grave re- |
sponsibilities of the office, and deprecated ?
the great expense of the campaign. It }
was getting so a poor man, no matter
what his ability, was debarred from offer- ,
ing for public position. Spoke of his ]
record in congress: had saved five million l
dollars in pensions alone; had been worth (
his weight in gold in this matter. Was j
opposed to trusts and monopolies of every
kind, but believed that labor and capital
should go hand in hand, each being dependent
on the other; there should be no
conflict between them. Favored an income r
tax, and he paid it every year. Told
several jokes which produced laughter i
and applause. 1
Jas. K. Tiilman said he hoped the audience
had enjoyed Talbert's jokes as much
MS lie useti 10 man} years agu ?ucu a uut.
Talbert had held office tor 22 years, but s
this year the people would send him home
to take a rest. Talbert was here representing
himself when he was drawing a
salary for representing the people in
Washington, Great issues were now
pending there and Talbert should be at
his post. He was sarcastic and effective
in the arraignment of Talbert, who
seemed to wince under it, for he frequently
interrupted Tillman. The speaker then
made his usual explanation of his ruling
in the Senate, reading an extract from the
journal of that body, and called on Sena- \
tor Maytield to state whether he, as presid- .
iug officer, had ever been disrespectful, to 1
which Mr. Maytield replied: "Never; c
not to me." [
Dr. W. H. Timmermau made a good 1
speech to an attentive audience. Held (
nn. o i.ii'flTi liiir? hr associates I '
and compared his record and Tillman's
as presiding officer of the Senate. Was
in favor of education, an income tax, and ^
the dispensary, but did not want to see a ^
dispensary put on people who did not :
want it. He discussed the matter of tax- I
ation at some length, and said there was .
no hope for an early reduction.
M. F. Ansel made a line impression %
with a good speech. Discussed the issues c
of the day in au able manner, and laid 1
great stress on good roads. All the can- u
jidates for governor were having a love 1
t'east, as all agreed on the issues. Opposed
to trusts, favored more education, and
the dispensary.
D. C. Hey ward, the Colleton farmer, re- 1
ceived a magnificent reception and made J
a good speech, clearly defining his posi- c
tion on all questions before the people, a
Spoke pleasantly of the other candidates, i li
and received laughter and cheers over the f
neat way in which he turned a joke of 1
Mr. Ansel's. He had always heard that
old saying, "Frailty, thv name is woman,"
but after to-day, seeing the ladies attend i
this meeting and stay so patiently, the
saying must be changed to "Patience, thy o
name is woman." Discussed the issues of ']
the day in clear-cut style. Was opposed
to child labor in miils, but favored a e
t gradual law, one that would be equit- p
. - .
. -... . i i . ....
ible to all parties. Favored the dispensary.
and was opposed to local option.
Pavoml biennial sessions of the legislative,
and was in hearty sympathy with
he movement for good roads. In reply
.0 a question said the child labor quesion
should not apply to farms, because
farm work was not so injurious to children
as working in the mills. Mr. Heyivard
made a good speech, and was given
i most popular reception. Leading men
tiere say lie will carry the county by a
large majority.
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.
It was evident that the crowd, had remaiued
to hear Heyward, for after his
jpeech many left the hall, the candidates
for Lieutenant Governor addressing a
>mall audience. .Tno. T. Sloan, Cole. L.
Blease, and Frank B. Gary want this position,
and each made a strong, vigorous
speech. Mr. Gary made a good hit cm Mr.
Blease. All received applause. The meeting
then adjourned, after having been in
continuous session about six hour.
We have tried, in a limited* space, to
give an account of the meeting and do
justice to each speaker, but on account of
this very lack of space our report isneces
surily an imperfect one. The meeting
was in the main quiet and orderly, and
each speaker was give an attentive and
respectful hearing. All did well, considering
the time allotted and each was well
received. All received some applause,
and the audience did not show a decided
partiality for any one except Heyward.
Many ladies were present and remained
most of the time.
The candidates for congress from this
district, Messrs. Geo. W. Croft, G. Duncan
Bellinger, and J. W. Thurmond, were
present, but did not address the meeting.
They speak here July 11.
A MOONSHINE MEETING.
Thursday night a moonlight meeting
was held in Mr. D. J. Delk's wagon yard,
for the benefit of the mill operatives who
could not be present at the day speaking.
This meeting was addressed by candidates
for governor, railroad commissioner, and
others, Hon. C. W. Garris presiding. The
meeting was without incident, save Tillman's
sarcastic arraignment of Talbert.
Candidates for magistrate at Bamberg
were loudly called for, and Messrs. J. P.
Matheny and G. P. Harmon addressed
the crowd and told why they wished the
office and related their qualifications for it.

[From the Barnwell People.]
Hon. M. T. Holley. Sr., Writes Some
Very Readable Facts Abont Aiken's
Congressional Champion in the
Second District.
One of the most notable figures in
South Carolina politics this year is Col.
G. \V. Croft, of Aiken, S. C., who has lately
announced himself as a candidate for
congress from this district. His pleasing
personality and generous nature has long
endeared him to all who are fortunate
enough to number him among their acquaintances.
He has been always pre-eminently
a man of the people, and we are
told that during his long practice at the
bar his distinguished ability has often
been given free of charge to the cause of
the helpless and oppressed.
When the grim tide of civil war had
rolled across the Savannah, and the followers
of Sherman had begun to cut their
swath of destruction across our fair
State, though but an untried stripling he
went to the front with his class at the
Citadel Academy and bore himself gallantly
in several bloody engagements.
When the curtain bad fallen on the
dreadful drama of fraternal strife, he
finished his education at the University
of Virginia and studied law under Governor
Benjamin F. Perry, one of the ablest
lawyers of his time. He began the practice
of his profession at Aiken on the
formation of the county in 1872, and is to
day not only a leader at his own bar, but
one of the brightest legal lights in the
State.
When our State lay prostrate under the
heel of alien carpet baggers and native
scalawags, he never faltered in his devotion
to the cause of good government,
and in the stirring days of 1876 he led, as
Uaptain of the Palmetto Rifles, the flower
of the young men of his county to the
bloody riots at Ellentou and put to flight
the black hordes who were bent on murder
and rapine. For this act of patriotism
he put his liberty in jeopardy and
was on trial for twenty-two days in the
United States Court at Charleston, S. C.,
where every effort that party malice could
devise was used to convict the patriotic
men who put their own lives in danger
for the public good.
Few men of Col. Croft's talent have
been more reluctant to seek public office,
iud he has never held an office of profit.
From 1876 to 1882 he was chairman of
the Democratic party of Aiken county.
In 1882 he was elected State Senator to
till an unexpired term and on its expiration
was elected to the House of Representatives.
In 1900 he was elected to the
rr v T"? A ^
nouse 01 nepreseuiauvtrs uuu uiauc a
splendid record; especially was be complimented
by the press of the State on
bis advocacy of and magnificent speech
^n the child labor bill], and no member
if the legislature was more active than
tie in securing the anti-trust act. In 1892
Col. Croft was elected president of the
State Bar Association, which position he
now holds.
No man is better equipped morally or
mentally for the high office to which he
low aspires than this gifted son of Aiken,
md we take pleasure in bespeaking the
earnest consideration of every voter in
his Congressional District.

The Congressional Race.
The following in regard to the congressional
race in this district appeared in
ast Friday's News and Courier, written
py the Aiken correspondent of that newspaper.
We simply publish it as coming
rom him and not as indicating our beief:
"So far as the three-cornered contest
petween Croft, Bellinger and Thurmond
or Congress, from the 2d Congressional
listrict, is concerned, it is not considered
lere linn, l aunnouu win prove a senuus
'actor in the race. The real struggle, it
tppears, lies between Croft and Bellinger.
This contest will prove close and excitng.
Col. Croft's championship of the
>ause of the locked out operatives of the
:otton mills in the Horse Creek Valley,
ind his earnest efforts towards the suc essful
conclusion of the mill trouble, has
materially strenghtened his cause with
he people. It is true that in some quarers
Croft was criticised for his connection
vith the Horse Creek lockout. Those
vho know him, however, understand fuly
that there is not the slightest characteristic
of the demagogue about Col. Croft,
during his entire public career he has,
udeed, shown an active interest in the
velfare of those known in certain walks
>f society as the "lower" classes. And
he fact remains that he possesses in a
narked degree the genuine affection of
he people of his county."

Read It in His Newspaper.
George Schaub, a well known German
citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is a constant
reader of the Dayton Yolkszeitung.
He knows that this paper aims to advertise
only the best in its columns, and
when lie saw Chamberlain's Pain Balm
advertised therein for lame back, he did 1
not hesitate in buying a bottle of it for i
his wife, who for eight weeks had suffered .
with the most terrible pains in her i
back and could get no relief. He says: j
"After using the Pain Balm for a few (
days my wife said to me, 'I feel as though
born anew,' and before using the entire
contents of the bottle the unbearable 1
pains had entirely vanished and she could
again take up her household duties." He :
is very thankful and hopes that all suffer- <
ing likewise will hear of her wonderful ;
recovery. This valuable liniment is for

to go, but his wife thought it would do
him good and would be apt to preserve
the harmony of the family.
The sermon was long and powder
dry, and Weddle- stole off into the
arms of Morpheus gently and serenely.
As he did not snore, his wife did not
suspect that he had gone to sleep
alongside of her and gave herself up
fully to inspecting the bonnet of the
woman in the pew in front.
Like all things, good and bad, the
sermon came to an end at last, but
Weddle slumbered on like a baby even
after a deacon began taking up the
collection In a hat When the derby
was passed to Weddle, Mrs. Weddle
was surprised to see that he did not
respond. She nudged him violently to
bring him back to his senses, and Weddle,
awakening with a start, sat upright
and, bewildered, gazed at the hat
in the hand of the deacon. Then he
shook his head sleepily and said:
"No; that isn't mine. Mine is a gray
one."?New York Tribune.
Had Nerve.
"Well, ain't that a lovely customer? j
I just dote on waiting on that kind. ,
Did you see her, though?" The shopgirl
was bubbling over with rage. A ,
woman and her daughter had looked at (
not fewer than twenty-five silk waists, i
At last they took up one, and the worn- i
an brought forth a tape measure. "I 1
think we might get it out of three and <
a half yards or three and two-thirds
anyhow. Just wait ? twenty-three
inches down the front, three-quarters
for the sleeves, allow a quarter for collar
and cuffs. Yes, that'll do it-" As j
she talked she ran the tape over the
waist, the clerk standing by almost ,
bursting with Indignation. "Three i
yards of lace, one and a quarter of In- (
sertion," she went on, measuring the
trimming. "Put that down, Amy. }
Now let's go. We can get up a waist '
exactly like that for $7.50, and they j
ask $14.98. They've got their nerve, ]
haven't they?"?New York Press. 1

Whence Comeu Electricity?
At a time when electricity is rapidly
transforming the face of the globe,
when it has already in great measure
annihilated distance and bids fair to
abolish darkness for us, it is curious to
notice how completely Ignorant "the
plain man" remains as to tlie later developments
of electrical theory. Some
recent correspondence has led me to
think that a vague notion that electricity
is a fluid which in some mysterious
way flows through a telegraph wire
like water through a pipe is about as
far as he has got and if we add to this
some knowledge of what he calls "electric
shocks" we should probably exhaust
his ideas on the subject Yet
this is not to be wondered at Even
the most instructed physicists can do
nothing but guess as to what electricity
is. and the onlv Doint on which
they agree Is as to what it is not
There is, in fact, a perfect consensu#
of opinion among scientific writers
that it is not a fluid?i. e., a continuous
stream of ponderable matter, as is a
liquid or a gas?and that it is not a
form of energy, as is heat Outside
this limit the scientific imagination is
at li oerty to roam where it listeth, and,
although it has used this liberty to a
considerable extent, no definite result
has followed up to the present time.?
Academy.
Lld;ing Her Stamps.
We find the following anecdotes in a
Naples paper: "At the postoffice yesterday,
amid the large crowd gathered
around the window, was a young English
lady, handsome, well dressed and
accompanied by her maid. The young
lady had Just purchased some stamps
and was about to affix them to a number
of letters which she held in her
hand. Delicately tearing off a stamp,
she said to her maid, 'Pull (sic) out
your tongue.' And the maid, with English
impassivity, thrust forth her
tongue, while the mistress passed over
It a postage stamp, which she subse
quently stuck ou a letter. She went
through the entire package of letters,
and for each one the obedient waiting
maid thrust out her tongue for the
mistress to moisten the stamp. Curious
manners these English people
have."
The Canon and the Lawyer.
The point of the following story lies
In the important part which the 'threepenny
bit" plays in church collections
in England. Canon Blank was having
a friendly game of pool at the squire's,
and one of his opponents was Wigsby,
the barrister. The canon lost a "life"
and took from his pocket a threepenny
piece to pay for it, which he placed on
the edge of the table.
"Oh," said Wigsby, "I see, canon,
you have had your finger in the plate!"
The canon drew himself up to his full
height a good six feet, and, looking
the man of the law full in the face,
said, "I'm surprised that you, Mr.
Wigsby, In the presence of this respectable
company, have the audacity
to recognize your own paltry contribution!"
Lamp* That Talk.
Electric lamps not only can be made
to talk, but also to sing. An ordinary
arc light can be made to produce
Bounds in two ways. One Is by placing
the arc in the circuit of a telephone
instead of the ordinary receiver, and
the other is by placing it in the circuit
instead of the ordinary transmitter.
In either of these positions It will
pronounce words, which can be heard
distinctly at a considerable distance.
It naturally follows, also, that the electric
arc can be utilized as the receiver
ancl also as the transmitter of a telephone.
Tihe French Horn.
The French horn or cor de chasse Is
regarded by some musicians as the
sweetest and mellowest of all the wind
Instruments. In Beethoven's time it
was little else than the old hunting
horn, wh lch, for tbe convenience of the
mounted hunter, was arranged in spiral
convolutions, to be slipped over the
head and carried resting on one shoulder
and under .the opposite arm. The
Germans still call it the waldhorn?
that is, "forest horn."
Actors' Superstitions.
To rehearse a play on Sunday Is a
sure sign that that play will not be a
success for the manager ordering tbe
rehearsal and that salaries will be lost
by all who so participate on the Lord's
day. To twirl a chair at rehearsals is
just as good as betting on a sure thing
that a fight will disrupt the friendship
of at least two members and perhaps
cause loss to the management for that
week.
