Where did you get it, Mr. Evans? Really, it seems hard that so able an aggregation of men as the Senatorial candidates cannot draw larger crowds. An Edgefield man, writing in the Chronicle, of that county, advises his people to vote for a Christian man for governor, and suggests Heyward or Talbert. Would that we could get pure Christian men in all offices. The Senatorial candidates are guessing as to who will get the vote of Bamberg county. All will get some votes, and it is hard to say who will be the leader, as verv little interest is being taken by our fe people. ? Mr. H. H. Evaus, State dispensary director, owes it to the people of the State to explain his sudden possession of wealth It is a fact that he was worth absolutely nothing when he went on the board and now they say he is rich. Through the efforts of Supervisor Bruce there will be no jury cases tried at . the coming term of court and thereby y several hundred dollars will be saved to the county. He deserves the thanks of the tax-payers for his wise action. Although he is a candidate, we must give the credit where it is due, for he first made the suggestion and by his own efforts carried out the plan to a successful con elusion. Several of the candidates for the United States Senate and their friends have asked for the support of this newspaper and i* its editor, and in view of these facts we deem it only proper to say that we are taking no interest in the Senatorial race, gjl- None of the candidates express our views on questions of public policy, so there is |?v . no reason why Ave should favor any of 5 , them. True, Ave shall vote, but do not expect to get enthusiastic over any can?? . didate. A feAV days ago we received a marked copy of the Columbia Record containing an anonymous article defending the State board of dispensary directors, the piece being signed "Justice" and not dated at jpfc any town. The article was marked in ||pv order to call our attention to it, the paper had a one-cent stamp on it for postage, and Avas evidently not sent out from a newspaper office. Our supposition is that it was sent by some member of the board ' r- and in order to get favorable editorial comment from us. Instead of leaving their defense to anonymous scribblers, we think the members of the board would do much better to come out over their own signatures and answer in detail the charges made against them. This article did not attempt to refute the charges, but only made unsupported assertions. Veterans* Reunion. Camp Rivers Bridge has fought another battle. I was there and saw it all. Not a man was killed. None were wounded, unless some were hit by Cupid's arrows. As far as I could observe all was quiet along the Saltkehatchie. I wasn't there long before I found out that the old soldiers were taking a day off, as far as work and worry were concerned. Captain Wyman Jenny was in command, which position he hilled with becoming grace and dignity. UncleCalvin Rentz was there. He left his gun at home,and brought the finest watermelon that I've seen this season. 3Ir. Peg-leg Copeland, Uncle George Williams, and Mr. Obed Kinard, were there "and unarmed. This didn't look much like war. Farther on up the hill I saw Captain Sease and Mr; John Copeland. All were busy telling it, each to the other. Mr. Francis Kinard and Uncle Alfred Chassereau, the Camp's best fishermen, were there. The moon ? wasn't banging just exactly right, or they would have had plenty of fish there. Mr. J. A. Peters, Uncle Jeff Kearse, Uncle Christian McMillan, Mr. John Breeland, Uncle Grimes Kirkland, Mr. Perry Yarn, and Uncle Dock Kearse were all there to answer to both roll calls. Mr. "Wash Halford, a visiting soldier, was there, also. There was a big fat man there, whose initials are "T. W. Wunless he had on a borrowed shirt. I saw him at the dinner table, and I liked him because he was jolly. Someone told me that he was Mr. Tom "Williams, from Brunson. There was a drummer there, too. He was from Charleston, but I can't think of his name. I always call hiui Mr. Poppinghind, but that isn't exactly right. I heard Mr. Tom Dannell^ tell Capt. Jenny to please fix a plate for this drummer, as he didn't like t . .l ..c i 10 eai in me presence 01 ntuies. It isn't necessary to say one word about dinner. It was a typical down-thecor.utry dinner. All ate plenty and some more than they wanted, and then there were more than seven baskets of fragments taken up. Arter Kearse made the coffee. The lemonade stand was run by the Chassereau boys. That drummer got me side-tracked and made me tell you about the dinner before I said anything about the address, which came before dinner. The speech of the day was made by Col. Geo. \V. Croft, of Aiken. His speech was good and timely, forcibly delivered, and well received by the people. I won't do him the injustice of an attempted synopsis, nor will I emphasize his oratorical ability, as I know it's against the rule of the Herald to insert complimentary notices of candidates. Please let ine say this much, however: He didn't say a word about politics in his speech, nor even intimated that he was a candidate. Music was furnished by the Ehrhardt string baud, led by Willie Sease, of fiddle fame, and followed by the only original Ben Brown, who >awed the bass violin to everybody's satisfaction. Buck Ehrhardt thumped the banjo,Otis Ritterpicked the mandolin, and Willie Jenny performed on the guitar. The boys made good music and everybody enjoyed it. After dinner a business meetiug of the Camp was held, at which meeting Captain Jenny was again unanimously elected Commander. The other serving officers were, abm re-elected. The meeting was then adjourned, taps were sounded, the camp fire smothered, and we all began to go to our respective homes and places of staying. Bill Snooks. Ehrhardt, July 14, lt?(rj.

Please allow me to explain some misunderstandings that occurred in the llart/og Happenings in regard to the Oak Grove and Hartzog baseball game on the28th of June. I did not mean tocastauy insinuations upon the Oak Grove or Hartzog teams, and if either of the teams took it to be offended at, they did not get the meaning which I intended to construe. J. "W. Rhoad. Hartzoz, June 14,1902. Editor The Bamberg Herald:?Oak Grove wishes to relieve the correspondent from Hartzog from the misunderstanding concerning Oak Grove and Hartzog ball game, as he was not familiar with cause of trouble. (He did not use "serious trouble" but just "trouble," an oversight of 0. G.) Hope he does not feel any unpleasantness towards us. 0. G. Editor The Bamberg Herald:?Regarding the newspaper controversy between the base ball teams of Hartzog and Oak Grove, the parties of both parts wish to state through your columns that a mis understanding on tne pari or uoiu emus, was responsible for what trouble did occur. We are all heartily sorry for the circumstance, and hope hereafter to maintain peaceful and amicable relatious between the two teams and the two neighborhoods. And I, J. H. A. Carter, in my correspondence did not mean any infringements upon the veracity of the Hartzog captain, and am sorry that my language should have been thus construed. J. H. A. Carter, P. K. Rhoad, S. P. Rentz, M. D., J. H. Fender. I, P. K. Rhoad, am sorry of misunderstanding between the Hartzog and the Oak Grove base ball teams. Progress in Ehrhardt. Ehrhardt, July 12.?An extra twomill tax was recently voted for the Ehrhardt graded school. This 'action is a sign of prosperity that is gladly welcomed by the whole school district. The following trustees were selected: J. C. Copeland, Ben Clayton, Elzie Copeland, Henry Ehrhardt, and Dr. J. H. Roberts. Prof. Francis Folk of Folk's Store, has been elected superintendent of the school. Prof. Folk is a graduate of Clemson college and comes highly recommended. He has taught successfully for several years in Pickens county. The Methodists have some of the lumber on the ground with which to build their new church. The Lutherans, also, are alive to their interests, and are making arrangements to have erected in the near future a new house of worship. The town's annual picnic was held in the grove in front of Mr. Conrad Ehrhardt's house the Fourth of July. Speeches were made by Rev. Messrs. Wilson, McKissick and Chisolm. Ice cream was served by the ladies of the Lutheran church; proceeds to go to the fund to be used in getting suitable fencing lor tne cemetery. Rev. J. H. Wilson, who for the past 14 years has so ably served the Lutherau congregation Qf this place, has accepted a call from the First Lutheran church of Salisbury, N. C. No man has done more to upbuild this community or has endeared himself more to the people than has Mr. Wilson, and there is universal regret that he thinks best to cast his lot elsewhere. Mr. Boone, of Charleston, who has had 15 years' experience wnth the Plant system, has been transferred to the depot here to take the place of Mr. Bikle, who has a position as railway mail clerk in the civil service. Mr. T. D. Jones and family, formerly of this place, but now of Bishopville, are visiting friends and relatives in the community. Mr. Jones has been reelected principal of the Bishopville graded school, and will return there about the first of September to take charge of his work. The Ehrhardt baseball association has been organized with Mr. S. W. Copeland, captain. They have already played two games with Oak Grove, yielding one and winning the other. They will try the strength of the Branchville team next Tuesday at the old mill. Fire in Edgefield. Edgefield,July 14.?Edgefield suffered a severe loss by fire this morning. The Institute building, occupied by the female boarders of the South Carolina Co-educational Institute, with all out-buildings, was totally destroyed. The building was originally built as" a hotel for Northern tourists and cost about twenty thousand dollars, being the most imposing edifice here. It was owned by Mr. D. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte. It was insured for $8,000, besides $3,000 on the furniture. When the fire broke out, which was about 11 o'clock, the summer school was in ses-1 sion in the building. No fire had been on the premises for a month, and its origin is attributed to rats and matches. It was only by the hardest work that the Bacon mansion was saved?it having caught several times. It is said that if we had had ! an engine, or even water-works, the build- j ing could have been saved, but with only a bucket brigade we were at the mercy of the flames and but for a calm day it is likely that there would have been a gen- J eral conflagration. Several persons over- j worked themselves and succumbed to the j heat. Mr. Geo. N. Mims was carried home in an unconcious condition, but at this writing he has partially revived and is on the road to recovery. At a mass meeting of the citizens of the town of Edgefield and community to take action looking to the erection of a new school building the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, we, the people of the town of Edgefield, recognize the great loss sustained by us in the destruction by fire of the main building of the South Carolina Co-educational Institute; and whereas further, we are all agreed as to the importance of maintaining this great institution, now the pride of old Edgefield, now therefore be it: Resolved by the citizens of the town of Edgefield, now in mass meeting assembled, That we propose to sustain and give our undivided support to this institution, propose the erection of a new building sufficient for the accommodation and sustenance of the South Carolina Coeducational Institute by ways and means to be hereafter agreed upon. Col. Bailey, having already been notified of the burning of the Institute building and expected to come to-morrow, a committee of representative citizens was appointed to meet him at the depot, and give him assurance of their support and co-operation. At St. Georges. St. Georges, July 12.?About three hundred meu, women and children attended the Senatorial campaign here today. The meeting was presided over by Chairman M. S.Connor, and opened with prayer by Rev. P. L. Kirton. Evans and Latimer went at it again. Evans defended his record as a Governor, and Latiuier says Duncan had charged Evans with getting $lo,000 out of the bond deal. Evans replied that Duncan had never charged it, but had said there was a rumor to that effect. He declared that any man who made that statement, or repeats it, is a liar. Latimer said he had never made the charge. Latimer used the word "friend" in connection with Evans whereupon Evans said: "You were ncvi r my friend; you betrayed me like a dog." Latimer replied: "That is a personal attack, and I will see you afterwards." During the recess for dinner Latimer went to "Evans' room at the hotel and said: "Mr. Evans, I want to talk with you a little." Evans replied, "No, you can not talk with me." Latimer left the room and went out with a friend. Senator Daniel of Virginia tells of a man down in his State who never could be induced to acknowledge that any brand of whiskey was bad, though he was willing to admit the truth of the ancient saying that some makes were better than others. Some jokers induced him to try some of a most villainous compound which they had labeled as a popular j brand. The man took a generous drink, I made a wry face and said, "Well, all whiskey is good, of course, but that's a little the poorest good whiskey I ever tasted." Ehrhardt Etchings. Ehuiiaudt, July 14.?An interesting game of base ball was plaveil lust Wednesday afternoon between Ehrhardt and Oak Grove on the Oak Grove playing ground. The score was 23 to 18 in favor of Ehrhardt.

Mrs. Simmons and daughter, of Florida, are visiting Mrs. I. D. Copeland. She is a sister to Mr. I. D. and Dr. J. L. Copeland, of this place. Ge Col. Saves A Woman's Life. To have given up would have meant death for Mrs. Lois Cragg, of Dorchester, Mass. For years she had endured untold misery from a severe lung trouble and obstinate cough. "Often, she writes, "I could scarcely breathe and sometimes could not speak. All doctors and remedies failed till I used Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption and was completely cured."

A Newburyport man, in company with several other boarders at the old man's home, was talking with him about his family. At last one of the company present asked him what his sons did for a living. The answer of the old man was characteristic and concise: "One is serving the Lord, the other the Devil, and both are doing well."?Boston Journal. The Best-Liniment for Strains. * V' tT Wollc thp mprpliftnl at Depr Park, Long Island, N. V., says: "I always recommended Chamberlain's Pain Balm as the best liniment for strains. I used it last winter for a severe lameness in the side, resulting from a strain, and was generally pleased with the quick relief and cure it effected." For sale by Bamberg Pharmacy. A young man, whose gallantry was largely in excess of his pecuniary means sought to remedy this defeat and to save the money required for the purchase of expensive flowers by arranging with a gardener to let him have a bouquet from time to time in return for his cast off clothes. So it happened that one day he received a bunch of the most beautiful roses, which he at once dispatched to his lady love. In sure anticipation of a friendly welcome, he called at the house of the young woman the same evening, and was not a little surprised at a frosty reception. After a pause the young woman remarked in the most frigid tones: "You sent me a note today." "A rote?I ?" "Certainty, along with the flowers." "To be sure, I sent you flowers; but?" "And this note was with the bouquet. Do you mean to deny it?" And the young man read: "Don't forget the old trousers you premised me the other day."?rsew lors inouue. ^ Yon Know What Yon Are Taking When you take Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic because the formula is plainly printed on every bottle showing that it is simply iron and quinine in a tasteless form.

The meeting was held in a grove near the court house. Hon. W 0.~Tatum, county chairman, presided, and prayer was offered by Rev. H. 13. Browne. This was the snappiest meeting, the largest crowd and the most interesting audience of the campaign. Being the home of the late Dr. Stokes, the mention of his name fanned up the slumbering coals and produced intense interest. Evans read Stokes' letter and Latimer made his usual reply amid the greatest excitement. Evans also showed another letter, whose author offered to produce affidavits to establish his statements. It stated that Latimer's best friend, L. D. Harris of Belton, says that Latimer did say he had sent a pass to Dr. Stokes; that he offered a pass to the president of a bank in Belton to go to Mexico, but the president refused it. The president of a bank in Anderson and Latimer's brother-inlaw went, however, ou passes. Evans also charged Latimer with haying voted to donate property in Washington valued at three million dollars to the Pennsylvania railroad. To this charge and to the last letter Latimer made no reply, except to say that he had ridden on free transportation and that any one in the audience would do it too. He again referred to the charges against Evans concerning rebates and said the man who knew all about it, Mr. l?T-ov> 5c otill aliru Imf luifl UPVPT hPHll 11 > (111, 10 Olui Uiit V VMV ..V called upon the stand to disprove the charges.

Latimer touched up Johnstone which caused that gentleman to rub it into him on all sides. . Senator Mason met Postmaster General Payne the other day and the latter said, "Mr. Mason, I hear you have a Presidential boom." "I am now engaged in running down a rumor to that effect," said the Senator, "and if there's anything in it I shall know how to conduct myself. My wife and the cook have declared for me, I know, and there may be others." Summer complaint is unusually prevalent among children this season.

A young man bashfully approached a popular official a few days ago and said: "Judge, I have come to ask your advice. You have always been like a father to me, and I have now come to you in a very important matter. I am thinking of getting married"? "Well, young man," interrupted the Judge, if you are thinking of getting married go do it right away. Don't wait, because the girl might not be willing this time to-morrow." "But you see," protested the youth, "I'm afraid I'm not able to take care of her." "Tut, tut," depreciatingly retorted the judge. "Why, when I got married I was twenty-one years old and $1,800 in debt." "Is that so?" exclaimed the other with happy encouragement gleaming from his eye. "And I suppose you must now be worth about"? "And now," concluded the judge, "I'm only $3,600 in debt." The young man has not yet married. Need More Help.

Histoc<k the Parrot for a Bird. At a dinner the other night a wager was laid that Marshall P. Wilder, the entertainer, could not tell fifty parrot stories in succession,saystheNew York Tribune. He did it without turning a feather, and so many of them were new that the man who came away and told about it could remember ouly one. It was of the parrot which escaped through a window and perched in a tree. The owner's efforts to capture it, even with a butterfly net, were in vain. He stood at the bottom of the tree swearing at the bird, when an Irishman came along. "What is the matter?" demanded Pat. "I can't catch thr.t darned bird," said the man, "and here is a dollar for the man who can." "I am the man," cried Pat, and he started up. the tree. As he climbed from branch to beanch - * ?

Moody, tells the following story, apropos of recent theological events, about a young convert in the Salvation anny, who, earnest and zealous, was imbued with the idea that he must speak to everyone on the subject of religion. He was especially moved one day while traveling to address a somewhat austere individual seated in front of him. Touching him on the shoulder, he put the usual question: "My brother, are you a Christian?" "Sir," was the reply?and perhaps with a shade of impatience*?"I'm a professor in a theological seminary." But this only seemed to call for a renewed effort, and the young man was equal to it. "My dear brother," he said, "as you value your scul, don't let a thing like that stand between you and the Lord."

Most readers have no doubt heard of the precious jewels which the toad carries in his brain box, and so called toadstones, which were in reality the teeth of fossil fish, were formerly worn in finger rings as a protection against poison. It was thought that the best stones were those voluntarily ejected by the living toads; but, as the latter were not addicted to freely giving up their treasures In that way, it was necessary to procure the coveted articles by other means, and the recognized method was to decapitate the hapless batrachian at the instant he swallows his breath. The feat naturally demanded considerable celerity, such as could only be acquired by constant practice, and it is not reasonable, therefore, to assume that, although the endeavors to gain possession of the jewels were perhaps numerous, they must have invariably been unsatisfactory, especially to the toads. Dressing: a Hog:. It is told of the late P. D. Armour that on one occasion he made a present of a suit, of clothes to each of his employees in a certain department Each man wa3 told that he might order his own suit and send the bill to Mr. Armour, no restrictions being made as to price. In order to avail himself fully of this liberality one young man ordered evening clothes costing $80. When the bill was sent in, Mr. Armour sent for the clerk to vouch for its accuracy and, finding it right assured the man it would be paid. As the clerk was leaving, however, Mr. Armour said to him: "I wish to say to you that I have packed a great many hogs in my time, but I never dressed one before!"?New York Times. Aristocratic Ants. The slavehold:ng ants are of several kinds and differ greatly in the manner in which they treat their vassals. Some make them do all the work under the direction of overseers; others share their labors, while still others have fallen into such habits of luxury as to be unable or unwilling to wait upon or even to feed themselves and are car- i ried about and provided with food by their body servants. In many cases this sybaritism is the mere ostentatious love of being served. The incapacity is not physical, but moral, and arises from an aristocratic aversion to any kind of menial labor.
