Ice Cream Festival.
Last Thursday night at the Fitting
School chapel was given au icecream
festival by the young men of the school
for the benefit of their base-ball team.
The following young ladies proved themselves
to be very efficient in serving the
large crowd with cream and cake: Misses
Parker, Whetstone, Hi/.er, Jones, Brabham,
Bull, Durant and Kearse. Something
over fifteen dollars was realized.
The team this year, while not a verv
strong one, has played some steady ball.
Captain Jennings is to be congratulated
on the success be has had considering the
poor material with which he had to deal.
The team this year was composed of the
following men: Gleaton, Dantzler, Bolin,
Gates, Jennings, Weathers, Snioak, Smith,
Bull and Brabham, J. B.
Millinery Party.
At the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Jones
was given on last Friday evening from
eight-thirty to twelve, one of the most
enjoyable social events that Bamberg has
witnessed this season. The two young
and beautiful hostesses, Misses Marie
5n,wl \Toriiin li WITP
1UU1UUU?U aiiu lUttiiwii
gowned in white organdies, beautified by
the addition of cream ribbon. They were
at their best both in beauty and as hostesses.
About half past nine o'clock the crowd
of young people having gathered, the
two hostesses served the young ladies and
gentlemen with broken quotations, those
of the young men matching with those of
the young ladies. Then began the search
of the young man for theyoung lady who
held the remainder of his broken quotation.
In this way the couples were matched.
Now came the fun of the evening.
The whole scene was like that of a millinery
shop, the boys trimming hats and
the girls making neckties. There were
all kinds, sizes, and colors of both. Some
of the hats were beautiful and some were
not, some stylish and some tacky. The
same may be said of the ties. In this
way passed off very quickly and pleasantly
an hour and a half of fun. At the end
of that time the couples drew themselves
up in a line and marched by the judges,
all with fearful hearts lest their hat or tie
should be deemed the prettiest, or still
more fearful lest it should be deemed the
tackiest. In a few minutes Mr. H. H.
Copeland made the announcement that
the prizes had been awarded as follows:
Mr. jjantzier received a oeaumui sus.
handkerchief for trimming liis hat the
best, and as the booby prize Mr. C. D. C.
Adams received a palmetto fan. Miss
Inez Brabham won the prize, which was
a silver hat pin, for making the best tie,
and Miss Eula Jones the booby, which
was a thimble. The decision of the judges
gave entire satisfaction to all, but the
winners of the prizes were closely followed
by some seconds between whom it
was difficult for for the judges to decide.
During the evening the guests were
served with delicious cream and cake,
and all went away expressing themselves
as having had a very delightful time.
Those present were Misses Allie Jennings,
Hermine Dickinson, Myra Hootou,
Mabel Felder, Ethel Rowell, Bernie
Counts, Ida Livingstone, Lucile Folk,
Marie Stokes, Jennie Felder, Sadie Brabham,

; j The Carlisle Fitting School is an insti'
tution of which Bamberg is proud, and
justly so. It is to this institution that many
bright young people, boys and girls, from
? lower Carolina come in quest of know5
ledge. The enrollment of pupils this year
5 has been about the largest in the history of
onTT 11)orn Itqc nprpr

been a finer type of students than com>
pose the present body. This has been
one of the most successful years the C. F.
8. has had. Prof. H. G. Sheridan, theef,
ficieut Head Master, and his able corps
>; of teachers have been diligent, painstakj
iug and faithful in every detail of their J
! work, the students have responded to the I
demands of the teachers by hard study,
and now they have reached the closing
days of the year which mark the tenth I
commencement of the school.
ANNUAL SERMON.
On Sunday, June 22nd, at 11a. m. in
the Methodist church the commencement
sermon was preached by Rev. J. G. Beckwith,
of the Barnwell charge. The congregation
was one of the largest ever
assembled in church in Bamberg. The
services at the Baptist church were called
in and all joined in the commencement
service at Methodist church. Mr.
Beckwith took as his text Prov. 29-18 and
Acts 2-17, choosing for his subject "Vision."
The sermon was clear, strong and
eloquent, especially suited for the occasion.
The eloquent words of the preacher
will no doubt be an inspiration to the
j student body and others in trying to ati
tain unto the best and most useful life.
I Mr. Beckwith is a fine speaker, thoughtful
student, and is rapidly forging his way
to the front as one of the best preachers
of the S. C. Conference. <
On Sunday night Mr. Beckwith preached
to a full house another very appropriate
sermon iu this money getting age, on
giving, his text being, "ft is more blessed
to give than to receive." Thus closed the

Sunday, which will not soon be forgotten
by any who had the pleasure of participating
in them.
LITERARY ADDRESS.
| Monday night at 8.30 o'clock, the chapel
I of the Fitting School was filled to its utJ
most capacity, many being unable to get
seats, to hear the literary address and witness
the exercises of the evening. When
it was time to begin Prof. Sheridan announced
first in order a welcome song, by
a chorus of students. After the welcome
song, Rev. H. B. Browne, Presiding Elder
of Orangeburg District, made an earnest
and very appropriate prayer.
Prof. Sheridan then introduced in a few
well chosen words, Rev. C. C. Brown, D.
D., of Sumter. Dr. Brown announced as
his subject "Make the Most of Yourself."
Dr. Brown is one of the leading ministers
I Bonnet fhni-rh T will not attemnt I
VI tlig vwv?.N ?.. ?
aii outline of bis address. Suffice it to say
he held the close and undivided attention
of the audience. The address was a very
line one, full of appropriate thoughts for
young and old, sparkling all the way
through with the natural wit of the speaker,
anu each truth presented illustrated
with an appropriate anecdote. Dr. Brown
is an interesting speaker and his eloquent
words on this occasion will long be remembered
by all who were so fortunate
as to hear him.
After the address followed a duet by
Misses Gedelle Brabham and Annie Lou
Byrd. Then a pantomime, "Old Folks
at Home" by seventeen of the girls. This
was beautiful, the graceful gestures of the
girls taking part, all so well done, showed
line training aud made it a very delightful
part of the eveuing's program.
Prof. Sheridan then expressed on behalf
of the school aud entire audience,
i appreciation of the excellent address by
the orator of the evening and thanked
the audience for their presence and good
attention. He cordially invited them to
return again Tuesday eveniug to witness
the class exercises of the school.
Rev. H. B. Browne then dismissed the
audieuce with the benediction,after which
the young people held a reception until
12 o'clock.
CLASS EXERCISES.
Tuesday evening's exercises were
opened with prayer by Rev. M. W. Hook,
after which there" was an instrumental duet
by Miss Annie Lou Byrd and Mr. Medicus
E. Shuler. Then came a debate the query
being: Resolved, That the student who
' !.:< ifoi-tiivAntrh nollpirp trains more
? U1 Alio ? ti ) iU4 vw*.vd?r
practical benefit than one who has the
inonev to pay for bis way. The affirmative
was represented by Messrs. Bolin
and Gates, while Messrs. Gleaton and
Dantzler argued for the negative. We
must congratulate these young men on
the subject matter of their speeches and
the clear, forcible style in which they
were delivered.
An instrumental solo by Miss Ethel
Folk was the next number on the program,
and then Mr. Salley announced
that Mr. I. Witte Bull, who was to recite
"The Polish Boy," was absent on accouut
of sickness. Miss Corine Bull then recited
"The Legend of the Organ Builder,"
and this was followed by a duo by Misses
Byrd and Black.
Mr. Howard C. Sheridan recited "The
Battle of Bunker Hill," followed by Miss
Marion Kearse with "Flossie Lane's
Marriage." Misses Pearl Black, Louise
Sheridan and Alma Black then gave an
instrumental trio.
The members of the post senior class
then took the rostrum to read their essays.
Mr. Joe Smith's subject was "Beyond the
Alps Lies Italy;" Mr. T. Doty Rhoad,
"Wade Hampton;" Mr. D. Tillman Smoak,
"South Carolina's Demands Upon Her
Young Men;" Miss Mattie Valentine,
"The Value of Reading;" Mr. Otis A.
Jeffcoat, "Character the Foundation of
True Success;" Miss Marie Stokes, "To
be Rather than to Seem." Miss Bessie Lee
Black was sick and could not be present.
The subject of her essay was "To strive,
to seek, to find, and not to yield." Mr.
Medicus E. Shuler was the class prophet,
and the subject of his paper was "Ten
Years Hence." Between the reading of
these papers there was instrumental
music. A solo by Miss Annie Lou Byrd;
a trio by Misses Genevieve Kirsch, Mary
Ellen Eaves, and Louise Sheridan; and a
quartette by Misses Margaret Eaves, Leila
Black, Annie Lou Byrd, and Florrie
Black. The post senior chorus, and then
a farewell song by a large chorus, closed
the evening's exercises, and the benediction
was pronounced by Rev. H. B.
Browne. The young folks then held a
reception until twelve o'clock.
This closed the tenth commencement
exercises of the school, which were succesful
throughout. Space forbids our
commenting on the papers of the post
seniors, but they were well written and
delivered gracefully. We shall expect
some eloquent orators to develop from
these boys.
Most of the students and some of the
teachers left yesterday morning, and the
campus presents rather a lonely appearance.
Saved From An Awful Fate.
"Everybody said I had consumption,"
writes Mrs. A. P. Shields, of Chambersburg,
Pa. "I was so low after six months
. of severe sickness, caused by hay fever
, and asthma, that few thougnt f could
get well, but I learned of the marvelous
merit of Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption, used it and was completely
cured." For desperate throat and
lung diseases it is the safest cure in the
world, and is infablible for coughs, colds
and bronchial affectsons. Guaranteed

Branchville Brevities.
Branchville, June 23.--The State is
being again agitated by a political upheaval,
and every male above twenty-one
years of age is asked to take an active
interest. One of the privileges enjoyed
under a democratic form of government
is for every sovereign person to be flattered
by the candidates, which evinces itself
mostly in a hearty handshake. Now that
the dispensary is a settled question, let
us hope that the candidate's will leave
this entirely out of their discussions and
seek to reach a higher ideal. "When
the dispensary question is left out
it seems that -the voters are allowed
to think more for themselves. We
do not want strife or bitter animosity of
any kind. The candidates are on the
right path in advocating the abolishing
from the length and bresdtli of this
State the pernicious system of child-labor
from these closely pent-up factories.
Who can conceive of better service of
humanity than favorable legislation restricting
child labor so as not to render
physical wrecks those who are to be our
future fellow citizens? Little interest is
manifested here in politics eiccept to name
those who are thought to be favorites.
Of the aspirants for the Senatorial toga,
all being able and intelligent men, it has
been difficult to select one from the
many. It is hardly necessary to mention
that Hon. Asbury F. Lever is the choice
for Congress, even if he is found wanting
in avordupois age, or we might say significant
looks. As regards the candidates
for governor, Capt. D. C. Heyward, of
Colleton, seems to be the popular candidate.
He has won the people's favor by
his intelligent and refined manners, by
his personality, both moral and physical,
by his charming and magnetic disposition,
and by his gentlemanly bearing and
conduct.
After an earnest effort the merchants
of this place have finally seen it to their
advantage to close their plac es of business
at seven o'clock in the evenings so as to
allow both themselves and their clerks to
enjoy the fresh and invigora ting air under
the sentimental moonlight sky.
Under the able and careful supervision
of Dr. A. T. Peate, a gentleman of modest,
refined, and scholarly tastes, this town
will soon have a library filled with the
rarest collection of books and magazines.
There will also be formed a reading room
and lyceum association. It is a source of
gratification to know that the entire people
take an active pride in this grand and
noble enterprise. This is recognized as
a long-felt want, and there never was a
time more favorable for its successful
completion. Substantial aid has been
pledged, and the people will soon be
favored by an address from a prominent
educator.
The editorials of this paper generally
show independent position and individualistic
opinion. They manifest a determination
not to follow blindly unthinking
obedience.
The second base-ball team has organized
and intends visiting several neighboring
towns this season. Kivy Pearlstine will
receive all challenges, and if possible
games will be scheduled.
Protracted meetings are now being conducted
at the Methodist church.
An enjoyable informal dance was given
in honor of the visiting young ladies on
Monday evening in the town hall. Music
was beautifully rendered by local talent.
A large party from here attended the
ball at Williston on Thursday evening.
Crops in this section are in a better condition
than they have been for years, consequently
the farmers are rejoicing.
The travel to Charleston is comparatively
light since the Exposition has closed
its doors.
The ping-pongfad has struck this community,
ami many parties have been
booked for the near future.

two accomplished daughters, Misses Kate

has been visited by very refershiug rains
for the last two weeks. Farmers say the

crops are the best in years.
Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Jones, of Bishopville,
are visiting Mrs. Jones's parents,

Miss Lala Kearse, of Colston, is visiting
Mr. G. L. Kiuard.
Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Copeland went to
Williston last Thursday to visit their
uncle, Mr. W. H. Eaves. They attended
the Goose Pond picnic while away, and
report a great time. They returned Friday
night.
Quite a crowd went to Bamberg last
Thursday to the State campaign meeting,
also a large crowd went to YValterboro
on Monday. Hey ward is undoubtedly the
choice for Governor in this section.
All the students from college have returned
to speud vacation at home.
It is to be hoped that our uew council
will have some much needed work done
on the streets at once. Just after a rain
or in the early morning one can scarcely
get about without getting their feet wet.
Our little town continues to grow. Two
men were in town last week looking for
houses to rent: a sure sign of prosperity.
On last Sunday morning quite a host of
relatives and friends assembled at the residence
of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ehrhardt to
witness the marriage of their daughter,
May, to Mr. E. P. Copeland. Exactly at
10.15 the first notes of the wedding mi.rch
were heard and the attendants marched
into the parlor as follows: Prof. J. A. H.
Carter with Miss Salome Wilson ; Mr. J.
H. A. Hartz with Miss Josephine Copeland;
Mr. F. H. Copeland with Miss
Mattie Kinard; Prof. H. W. Fulraerwith
Miss Ruth Copeland; Mr. G. E. Copeland
with Miss Clara Copeland; Mr.Raymond

by the bride and groom. Then amid low,

congratulations were over and Mr. F. H.
Copeland had kissed the groom instead
of the bride, the bridal party attended religious
services at Mt. Pleasant near town.
Returning they were served with everything
that the heart could wish in the
way of eatables. Never was a more
bountiful dinner offered to guests nor
guests more willing to partake. The
bride and groom were the recipients of
many useful and beautiful presents. We
extend congratulations. Ge Col.

Marriage
Last Saturday evening Mr. Henry J.
Brabham, Jr., and Miss Roberta Sample
were quietly married. The ceremony
was performed at the Methodist parsonage
by Rev. M. W. Hook, and was witnessed
by only a few intimate friends of
the contracting parties. The news of the
marriage came as a surprise to many of
their friends, who were not aware that
the happy event was to take place. They
are at the home of Mr. H. J. Brabham,
father of the groom, for the present.
Mr. Brabham is the efficient assistant
cashier of the Bamberg Banking ComI
pany, and is one of our most popular and
highly esteemed young men. The bride
has been with Mrs. M. L. Counts as milk'"

Exec utive Committer Meeting.
The county Democratic executive committee
met in the court house last Thursday

Folk presiding and most of the members
present.

House of Representatives, $5.00; Auditor,
$3.00; Treasurer, $3.00; Magistrate, $1.00.
Candidates must file their pledges and
pay the assessment by twelve o'clock on

Two days for campaign meetings were
fixed, the first to be held at Ehrhardt on

on Friday, August 22. The county chairman
was authorized to appoint meetings,
tn hp hplrl hptwppn thpsp two dates, in
other sections of the county at the request
of the voters. It is likely that meetings
will be arranged for at Denmark and
Olar at least, and possibly others.
The member of the executive committee
of each club was requested to suggest
names for managers of the primary election
at said club.
The same style of ticket used last year
was adopted.

Denmark, June 23?Rev. Messrs.
Sublett and Bailey will begin a tent meeting

much success. While your reporter would
not sermonize, yet the need of good meetings
is sadly in evidence. The most of us

Fine Corn.
Editor The Bambf.rg Herald:?I
send you the crop report on north side of
Bamberg, which is very good at this date.
Qrops are ciean and are very flattering,
but not at all safe?can be easily ruined.
The grand corn exposition can be seen
on gopher ridge, one mile north of Bamberg.
A few y ears ago this gopher ridge
would uot have brought its taxes if it had
not been near the town, and now it is a
wilderness of corn. It is sublime, two
and a half feet by five, a perfect stand,
and it is ten feet high, just bunching to
tassel, stalks as large as they can grow.
The grandest exposition I have ever seen
that the world cannot beat. Everybody
that can enjoy sublimity should go and
see it. I went in it alone hunting a poor
spot and could not find it, then I looked
for a small bill or stalk, but did not find
a one. It made me feel uneasy and I
hurried out thinking that my friend must
be some relation to Joseph, ruler of Egypt.
This sublime corn is grown by the energetic
and plucky G. Frank Bamberg, who
deserves much credit, being so young to
be able to challenge the world to beat him
on corn. I am very respectfully his neighbor,
Ci.od Hopper.
For Lieutenant Governor.
Col. John T. Sloan, of Columbia, a
candidate for Lieutenant Governor, made
a strong and taking speech at the campaign
meeting at Bamberg last Thursday,
and impressed many voters with his
dignified aud good appearance, and we
believe gained many votes. He received
many votes in this county when he ran
for Lieutenant Governor two years ago.
He was second best in that race, and logically
should be first in the coming election.
Col. Sloan is well qualified to fill
tnis high office. He has had large legislative
experience, having been Senator
from Richland county for eight years,
and a member of the House of Representatives
for two years, and also a member
of the Constitutional Convention of 1895.
He is a mau of the highest character, and
will fill the office with credit to the State
and himself. His record is a clean one,
and we believe he will receive a handsome
vote in this county.
