Our neighboring town of Danes sen1 down on last Friday an aggregation o! rooters along with their base ball team determined to "put Bamberg out of business" as far as playing base ball was concerned. At a quarter past five the game was started at the ball park in this city. It was clearly seen from the beginning I that Denmark was not "iu it" at all with the home team. Special features were couspicious only on account of their absence. The game was not a fast but rather a slow one. For Bamberg Brabham C. caught a good game, allowing a very few stolen bases. Move played his usual good first, covering the first bag with only one error and that a hard one. For Denmark Faust did the best battiug, placing two second base hits safely out in the left garden. Osteeu, Steadman A. and Blume played the game for Denmark. The visitors succeeded in pushing three men across the rubber during the first four innings of the game, after which they never scored. Score by innings: Bamberg 10 5 20200 0?10 Denmark 1 U 1 1 u u u u u? o Summary.?Two base bits, Faust 2. Single hits, Bamberg 8, Denmark 8. Struck out by Brabham 6, by Osteen 7.

Pinning on the donkey's tail was the game of the evening. This proved very interesting and amusing to all present. Miss Annie Hartzog received the first prize and Mr. Bissell Beach the booby. Watermelon was served, after which various games were played and the young people then went home pleased with the very pleasant time which they had had. County Board Meeting. The county board of commissioners held their regular quarterly meeting last Monday, Supervisor Bruce and commissioners Rice, McGeiver, Hiers, Rentz and Fender being present, A number ?f claims were approved, md the following business transected: Petition for a new public road frorh HoiBan's bridge, at Mrs. Martha R.

A resolution was passed requesting the >ar of the county to postpone, if possible, he July term of court aud continue all :ases until the fall term. This action was akeu on account of the few criminals in ail, the hot weather, enormous expense >f court, and embarrassing financial conlition of the county. The Faculty of the Fitting School.

The trotting race between Nellie, the black mare belonging to Jones Bros., of this city, and a bay mare owned by G. B. Kittrell, of Orangeburg, took place yesterday on the track near town. The race was for a purse of $200, and three heats of one mile each, the winning horse to win two out of the three. The race came off about ten o'clock in the morning, and was attended by a large crowd, many people from Orangeburg county and from this county being present. The judges were Col. Jno. F. Folk and Mr. W. S. Miley, of this place, and Mr. W. M. Hughes, of Cope. Nellie won the first heat easily by several lengths, the time being 2.40 for the mile. After an intermission of a half hour the second heat took place and again the black mare came in ahead, the time being 2.39. This ended the race, as she had won the two heats. The driver of Mr. Kittrcll's horse whipped his animal while she was running, but no foul was claimed by the Messrs. Jones, as their mare won the race. Mr. W. P. Jones drove Nellie, and Mr. Peudarvis drove Mr. Kittrell's mare. There was no preaching at the Methodist church last Sunday, that congregation worshipping with the Baptists. Cut this out and take it to the Bamberg Pharmacy and get a box of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. The best physic. They also correct disorders of the stomach. Price 25 cents. I Fitting School Notes. A most urgent need of this institution ; at present is, as we see it, an infirmary. F Two hundred and fifty dollars would i build such a one as the present needs require. Will not the friends and citizens generally respond and contribute funds sufficient to supply this need? It will be . a good investment from a busiuess point ; of view. We make the suggestion. Looking over the catalogue of students, we find the great majority of them from other counties. Sumter, Darlington, Florence, Georgetown, Richland, Colleton, Lexington, Berkeley, Orangeburg, Bamberg, Barnwell, Dorchester all send students, but we find very few students from our town. It seems to us that in the Senior and Post-Senior classes ought to be found more of our young men and young women. There are opportunities and advantages at the Carlisle Fitting School not had elsewhere. The literary societies, fine library, a full faculty to do 1 the work required, association with young people from abroad?these auvanutges belong in part to us. Besinger Reunion. ' The auuual reuniou of the Besiuger j family was held last Friday at ^Spring . Branch church, about four miles from j town. This occasion is always well at- . tended, especially on campaign years j Friday was no exception to the rule, and ( the numerous descendants of the family ( and their friends were present. It is said j that every candidate for county office was also present. Short speeches were t made by the office seekers, also by Hons. { C. W. Garris and S. G. Mayfield, and some j good speeches were made. A bountiful ? picnic dinner was served, and the day < was pleasantly spent, notwithstanding ? the heat. New Advertisements. } WOFFORD COLLEGE.

Rice?Candidate's Card. p g What the Carlisle Fitting School p Does for Bamberg. F e It was not a misplaced investment when the people of Bamberg put their money s into this institution. When Bamberg g lacked a good preparatory school, the v Fitting School supplied that need and p many of our young business men, and n nearly all of our college graduat es obtain- n ed their preparatory training here. It is t] today a fitting school for our boys and n girls either for business or for college s work. It has brought to our people 0 dividends in life and character of our 0 sons and daughters. 0 Financially it has paid and is paying a larger dividends to our town than any n other enterprise in proportion to money si invested. There has been invested above u eighteen thousand dollars in land and v buildings. There comes into the channels t< of trade to our merchants a sum not less 0 than eight thousand dollars. Does the p ? no Ti-nll Jn nrnnnrtinn :. UOllUli Liltiui y v> vh iu j/i v|/v??*vm jj to capital invested? t( It brings into our community young t< life with its buoyant spirit and enthusiasm S] from the country districts. Our chnrch- ^ es, our people feel the inspiration of the presence of her students. We are glad b the institution is here and our town awaits b with interest the return of the Fitting ^ School boys and girls in September. ai Winthrop Examinations. 1 To morrow^ (Friday) the county board s< of education will hold a competitive examination for two vacant scholarships in *( Winthrop College, which are worth $44 Al per year and free tuition. These scholarships were held last year by Miss Mamie b Rowell, a daughter of Supt. of Education Rowell, aud Miss Reed of Denmark. It ^ is possible that both young ladies will A again compete for the scholarship. The P examination will be held at the Carlisle 11 Fittiug School, as the Senatorial campaign meeting is to be held in the court b: house. There will no doubt be a number pof young ladies who will stand the ex- b animation. The ones making the highest mark get the scholarships. " Improvements on the Campns. The trustees of Wofford College have recently purchased the Eaves property g adjoining the Fitting School campus, adding two and one-fourth acres to this valuable property. Upon the corner lot tv will be built a neat and commodious re- rp sidenee for the Head Master and his ?p family. This arrangement will be an ad mirable one, affording him easy access to and supervision over both boarding de- ^ partments. Two cottages will be built ^ on the same plot of land facing on Carlisle street; these will be offered for rent. ia The friends of the institution, with help from the town council, have arranged to construct a flowing well at the junction jD of Elm and Carlisle streets. This will be j quite an acquisition to the institution as ^ well as a great convenience to the public. te We are glad to see this public spirit dis- j played by our citizens. It will be money well spent, adding to the attractiveness ^ of our town and conduciug to the gener- j] al health of our people. Xet it be well known that our community is as healthful as ant* Jher community, and let the educational advantages afforded by our schools be well advertised, families from other sections will move into Bamberg to educate their children, our business will j, increase aud our town will grow.

Commencing' with fourteen years ago, he gradually brought his audience up to the present dav, each-year appearing as a mile stone to a higher and better plane of living, showing the people that our little side tiack railroad, known to us as "the was and was," is far better than the old stage coach. Rev. E. M.

After the speaking was concluded, the ladies brought forth baskets of sweetmeats and delicacies, and a large table was spread with eatables that would appease the appetite of a king. Rev. E. M.
