business as usual, but the bank and dis- 1

The Sate campaign meeting at Edgefield ?
was a warm one. The friends of Talbert 1
and Tillman indulged in an old time
howling down, and Tillman could not *
finish his speech on account of the "en- .
thusiasm." *
"Man wants but little here below," says ^
philosophy, but he wants the best buggy
and harness for his money that he can ^
get, and Quattlebaum & Dannelly are the ^
v": ones to give it to him. f
The speeches of the Senatorial caudi- l
dates will no doubt be instructive and r
> entertaining, as there are some able men t
(in the race. A fair audience will greet s
* them here, and they will be heard quietly v
and with patience.
We regret that the friction between the f
llartzog and Oak Grove base ball teams i
has developed into something of a news- ^
paper controversy and has gotten into the ^
columns of this newspaper. This is not
the place to discuss differences of a per- ^
sonal nature, and we trust this week will 1
end it, as each side has had a hearing.

In accordance with the action taken by
the county board of commissioners at
their meeting last Monday, Supervisor
j Bruce has been circulating a request to
; Judge Townsend, asking that all jury
case9 at the coming term of court be postponed,
said request being signed by

BASE BALL.
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.
Bases ou balls, Brabham 5, Osteen 4.

The next game of ball is to-day
(Wednesday) with the Orangeburg second
nine. The'liue up of the two teams will
be as follows:

MELON PARTY.
Miss Gedelle Brabham gave a melon i
party last Friday evening, complimentary
to Miss Lynne Riley. 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

A resolution was passed requesting the
>ar of the county to postpone, if possible,
he July term of court aud continue all

of the county.

Horse Race.
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.

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.

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.

Our town is reported to be the worst

revails among the people, the town
lust not be considered a death hole. No,
ot by all means. But among whom does
lie malaria prevail? There is the fisherlen
who continually haunt the rivers and
leep on the banks, exposed to all kinds j
f eerms. Your correspondent had the ,
pportunity of witnessing the diagnosis
f this nature the other day. There are 5
lso other conditions under which the
lalaria prevails which can not be de- (
cribed here. The doctors report that ,
here is not a case of bed-side sickness
within the limits of the town. According J
3 the reports our town is more salubri- 1
us than many of our sister cities. Peo- 1

showing the people that our little side
tiack railroad, known to us as "the was
