ORANGEBURG DEFEATED. Last "Wednesday was Orangeburg's off day. In the morning the horse race between Jones Bros.' "Nellie" and Mr. Ben Krttrell's "Lot" took place, resulting j in the defeat of the latter, an account of j which appeared in last week's Herald. In the afternoon the Orangeburg second i team met with a very bad defeat at the hands of Bamberg's seconds. The visitors scored in the first, third, and ninth innings. It seemed after the third inning that the score would be sixteen to two in favor of Bamberg, but in the ninth, errors on the part of the home team let in five men, making the final score six- j teen to seven. Osteen pitched a beautiful ! game and received fine support from all J of the boys. Hartzog made a very costly j error in the ninth, but this was balanced by a fine one hand stop at third base and I throwing out his man at first. Glaze was I batted out for twenty hits, four of these j being good for two bases each. Bull made two very pretty catches in the centre garden. The visitors proved very weak when it came to wieldingthe willow, and failed to bunch the few hits which they succeeded in batting out. Score by innings: Bamberg 0 6040221 1?16 Orangeburg 10100000 5? 7 Summary?Batteries: for Bamberg, Osteen and Steadman ; for Orangeburg, Glaze and Sorentrue. Struck out: by Osteen, 7; by Glaze 0. Base on balls, Glaze 2. Two base hits, Steadman 2, Osteen 2. Single hits, Bamberg 20, Orangeburgo. Errors, Bamberg 6, Orangeburg 7. The boys from the city on the Edisto remained over during the night and attended a social gathering at Mr. Kirsch's, given in their honor. It was the general opinion of all who met the visitors that they were not only a gentlemanly set of boys but very clever and sociable as well. The only thing that marred the interest of the game was the great amount of 1 stinginess shown by some of the spectators. Instead of being willing to pay their dime or quarter and come on the grounds they preferred to line themselves up along the public road and thereby advertise themselves and their greediness to advantage. Bamberg will never be able 1 to have any good games as long as the people show this stingy disposition. The ' boys must have the money to defray necessary expenses. The Bamberg bovs 1 will probably go to Orangeburgthis week 1 to return the game. BAMBERG GUARDS PICNIC. It was at "clay hole" that the Bamberg , Guards gave their annual picnic on last Thursday. Many of their friends from all of the surrounding country were present to enjoy the good time that the j Guards had prepared for them. The offer , of free conveyance for the ladies was ' taken advantage of by many of them. Ice cold lemonade was served free to all. In the early part of the day the drum tapped, the Guards lined up for roll call, and were dismissed until the afternoon. Dinner was served at one o'clock. At half past J nmm onnnrlpil ntr.qin mill LUICC uium the Guards gave a drill. Then came the voting for the most popular young lady on the picnic grounds. The votes were five cents each and the young lady who received the most votes won the prize, which was a very beautiful iced cake. Miss Llewlie Bamberg received the highest vote. Soon after this came the end of the pleasant day. All of the friens of the Bamberg Guards who attended feel much indebted to them for the very pleasant time which they had. MISSES MARGARET AND ABBIE HAIR. Mrs. Geo. F. Hair entertained at her home on Railroad Avenue a number of young friends last Friday eveniug from six to seven o'clock in honor of Misses Margaret and Abbie Hair, of Blackville. "Up jinks" was played by the guests who enjoyed themselves to the fullest. Refreshments were served. SOCIAL GATHERING. There was a very pleasant social gathering at Mr. H. C. Folk's last Friday evening from eight to eleven o'clock. There was not a very large crowd present, but those who were there had a very pleasant time. Many of the young people who attend these social gatherings are away visiting friends, therefore the attendance Vas naturally small. "WE LYNCHED HIM, JOHN THOMAS." The annual celebration of this great event took place last Friday night between the hours of ten o'clock p. 111. and three o'clock a. m. at "clay hole." The attendance this year was not as large as it has been on former occasions. It was a sober crowd, in fact the soberest crowd that "clay hole" has witnessed in a long time on a similar occsion. Only thirty chickens and thirty loaves of light bread besides about two pecks of red horse were eaten by the twenty-eight fellows preseut. Their appetites were not as good as they had been in some time. Those whose health was not good were not required to eat but one chicken and one loaf of bread. As the boys got to the place too late there was no hunting of a wild cat, consequently no lynching took place. Supper, which consisted of chicken (fried and stewed) aud of light bread and red horse, was served at 11:30, lasting until 2 o'clock a. in. Then the lash was laid to the mules and horses, and the fifth celebration of - * MOODn/l An /IaU'11 lillS great. OCCllSIOll ? as jwaam \?n uvn n to history. Those who hail the honor of being present were: H. N. Bellinger, J. "W. Price, Roy Bruce, Jacob Felder, Isaac Felder, Gordon Hoffman, N. Nevils, E.G. Hays,Henry Bamberg, Wiley Howell, Carl Howell, Herbert I)elk, Fred Free, Charlie Free, Norman Kirsch, L. C. Price, J. C. Move, C. C. Paul, J. A. Richardson, W. P. Bamberg, T. L. Lawson, Ilagood Armstrong, W. McHoy, W. I). Hhoad, W. P. Riley. A GOOD TIME. A royal good time M as that had at Mr. N. Z. Felder s Tuesday night. A large crowd and a big time. Misses Alice Armstrong and Addie Westerlund were the guests of honor. This social gathering was a departure from the general nature of the ones held in town so often. During the beautiful moonlight night about ten or twelve couples, besides some stags, strolled down the railroad to the home of Mr. Felder where a good time awaited them. Here they staid for along while, amusing themselves with various games. At about a quarter of twelve came the end of all this good time save the walk back in the moonlight, which was of course enjoyed, B. j BAMBERG S CAMPAIGN BAY. I Senatorial and Congressional Candi| dates Address the People. I The senatorial and congreesional camj paign meeting was held in Bamberg last | Friday. The meeting was held in the court house, where the candidates spoke to a crowd of about 200 who were orderly and attentive. There were few ladies, I but these received their share of attention. The candidates, wearied from the previous day's exertion, came here from Oraugeburg, and were met at the station by their friends who entertained them elaborately. The meeting was called to order promptly at eleven o'clock by our efficient county chairman H. C. Folk, who announced that as agreed upon thirty minutes time only would be allowed to each candidate in which to present his views and fitness to the people. Prayer was made by Rev. T. J. Saudifer, who asked God's" blessing upon the meeting and His help in directing the people to choose the best candidate. J. J. HEMPHILL. The first speaker for the senatorial toga was the Hon. J. J. Hemphill, of Chester. All the candidates are agreed on as to the questions which confront the American people today. He therefore took his favorite theme "colonial expan sion," and in a logical and forcioiespeecn he arraigned the Republicans for their in-1 quitous policy in regard to the Phillippines. His speech was altogether on a high plane, and be indulged in no personalities. He was listened to with the closest attention, at the conclusion of his speech received some applause. JOHN GARY EVANS. Ex-Governor John Gary Evans was the next speaker, who spoke in a moderate tone owing to a sore throat. He told what mistake the people made five years ago in not electing him to the senate when he detected Republicanism in the camp. Expansion and ship subsidies are academic questions and it is a mere waste of time to discuss them. The real trouble from which the South has to suffer and J which bears more heavily upon the Southern cotton farmer is the so-called protective tariff. This he discussed at length and endeavored to show that the fine goods and luxuries of the rich are not taxed while the articles which poor people of the South use are taxed, some as high as 300 per cent of their value. He believes in direct taxation by the national government just as the state. Rotten seed and rural free delivery again received their share of treatment. He attacked vigorously the railroad trust, and again accused D. S. Henderson of being attorney for the Southern Rail-I way, which he said disqualified him from being the proper man to send to the Senate. Although Mr. Evans was opposed to the Cuban war, he tendered his services to the president and they were accepted. He spoke of the Cubans in disgust. He had been accused of being a coat-tail swinger which he denied and said he has always fought fairly and will never be found skulking in camp. A. C. LATIMER. The next speaker to be introduced was Congressman Latimer, of Anderson. 3VIr. Latimer referred list to the two charges made against him in Orangeburg. As to the free pass business he plead guilty saying that this is a general practice. He took occasion to answer the charge made by ex-Gov. Evans that he had voted to donate to the Pennsylvania Railroad company $3,000,000. He is on the District of Columbia committee?one of the alderman of the city of Washington and this committee passes upon all legislation for the District. It was decided by this committee to improve the depot of the Penu-1 svlvania Railroad and to change its location. He voted with the other members of the committee for this measure. Mr. Latimer took his same position against the Phillippines and the protective tariff | and referred to his concilatory policy in dealing with a Republican majority. He said be was elected to advocate the interests of the farmer in congress. He defeated Col. Johnstone in 1892, for the third district, getting about ten thousand votes to Col. Johnstone's about 3,GOO. He secured $15,000 for Newberry College. Long before he went to Washington a contract was made with a lawyer *" " ^-*1 4.1 1 there and he knew nothing 01 11 uutn iuc appropriation was made and the lawyer came forward to demand his fee. Mr. Latimer has heard that Mr. Cromer, Mr. Johnstone's law partner, received $600 of this appropriation as attorney's fee. He told of the seed and bulletin appropriations, and the advantages accruing to the farmer. He referred to his connection with the appropriations for Charleston, the public buildings in Florence, Spartanburg and Rock Hill. His speech was well received and he closed amid yells for Latimer. D. S. HENDERSON. D. S. Henderson, the orator from Aiken, said that he had been in Bamberg before and is not afraid to be here now. He caught the attention of the audience by declaring that he is a clean man and will not sling any mud. He is not general counsel for the Southern or any other railway. His linn in Aiken is only the local counsel for the Southern Railway and are paid for their services by Mr. J. W. Barnwell out of his own salary. His record is kuown in Aiken county. In the legislature he advocated the Jim Crow car bill and made the test fight as to the constitutionality of the law separating the whites and blacks. He voted against the Virginia-Carolina Chemical company in the legislature and spoke and voted in the legislature in favor of the anti-trust bill. Mr. Henderson related his services in the Constitutional Convention and1 asked where his friend Latimer was then.! Mr. Latimer replied that, owing to party lines being pretty strong at that time, he got out of the way of Prince and Sullivan. To which Mr. Henderson said it was a nice thing to get out of the way of. He then attacked the Republican party and their rapacious principles. He closed amid cheers. GEO. JOHNSTONE. Col. George Johnstone, of Newberry, was the next speaker. He attacked vigorously Mr. Latimer's statement as to their free trips from Sumter to Orangeburg and from Conway to Myrtle, and thence down the Waccamaw ftiver. He declared that the expenses of these trips were paid by Democratic friends and not by corporations and therefore they could not be compared to Mr. Latimer's securing free passes from the railroads. He never received a cent of the $G00 which Mr. Latimer alleges that his linn received of the $10,500 which Newberry College finally received. Col. Johnstone spoke of his eight years' work in the legislature and the constitutional convention, and the measures which he advocated. He arraigned Mr. Latimer severely but good naturedly, and this elicited enthusiastic applause* from the attentive audience. He again referred to the South Carolina Railway back taxes. A committee consisting c-f W. C. Benet, Johu Gary Evans and W. D. Evans framed a bill which was sent to Mr. Latimer and which he introduced, but it was never passed, yet Mr. Latimer is claiming the credit. Col. Johnstone told an effective joke about the negro who saved the boiler from bursting by blowing the whistle, applied it to Mr. Latimer. The eloquent speaker from Newberry devoted the rest of his time to the protective tariff, and closed with a beautiful peroratiou. His speech brought forth spontaneous applause. WILLIAM ELLIOTT. The last speaker was Col. William Elliott, of Beaufort. He began by throwing bouquets at the ladies. He spoke oi ;uq< Styles and Prices. y ever sold. Come i his military and political record and his fourteen years of service in congress. His speech on the whole was along the same line as heretofore reported. Our congressmen have been charged with doing nothing and that they have not been fighting the Republicans. The effective fight against the Crumpacker bill indicates the contrary. Col. Elliott exposed the hypocrisy of the Republicans, and said that the prospect for a general Democratic victory has not been so good in years and this is due to the work of the* Democrats in the house. THE CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES. The congressional candidates, Messrs. G. Duncan Bellinger, G. W. Croft, and J. Wm. Thurmond addressed the wearied and hungry audience after the Seuatorial candidates left the court room. The aspirants for congress tried to enliven affairs by injecting a little spice into their discussions. All of the speakers were well received. BranchvilJe Brevities. nT>.?TmilrrTTT Tnlrr T oct Tnoarlflr V/il V <J u A J 1U* JL^ Uk'K A UVUMMJ night the Woodmen of the World, in order to increase and probably enroll members, served ice-cream and cake to the people present. Each member was permitted to invite his family and a few friends, the copious supply of ice-cream and cake being prepared by the former. The hall was tilled to its utmost both with old and young. In the center of the hall was a huge block, axe and a five-cents towel, which of course represented some symbol. At 10o'clock Consul Commander Warren rapped for order and introduced Maj. Wm. L. Glaze, of Orangeburg, who is a staunch Woodman. Maj. Glaze thought that he came to Branchville to instruct the secret order, but found a crowd of friends of both sexes present. He came unprepared to make a speech, but congratulated our town on all sides and threw bouquets at the attractive and beautiful young ladies. He wanted it understood that he was not a candidate and didn't intend to kiss anybody's baby. Maj. Glaze concluded by wishing the order all the success possible. Mr. Warren next introduced Hon. Robt. Lide, also of Orangeburg. Mr. Lide delivered an able address, which was applausively received. At 12 o'clock the non-members departed in order to allow the secret order to discuss secrets. Your correspondent received an erroneous report that beer was to be the feature and inserted it in your last issue. Therefore, for the welfare of the order, no intoxicants were allowed, as the organization strictly prohibits it. There was "something doing" nearly every night last week. Wednesday night the young folks attended the sociable at Mr. G. E. Simmons', given in honor of his guests, Misses Minnie and Rosa Dautzler, of Alabama. Thursday night the rain partially prevented a watermelon party at Mrs. Provy Myers'. Friday night a reception was given by the attractive Karesh girls, in honor of Misses Minnie and Rosa Dautzler. The nine couples present enjoyed themselves fully. Games were played, lovely music was rendered by Miss Minnie Dantzler, and, above all, delicious refreshments were profusely spread out and consumed. A small crowd assembled at the Methodist church Friday night to hear the temperance lecture by Mrs. E. S. Herbert. She succeeded in securing members and installing officers. Thursday evening the game of ball scheduled between Branchville and Orangeburg was played. A large crowd gathered to witness the game, the grandstand being packed. The Orangeburg boys were too much for Branchville, and they found no trouble in carrying away the game. The battery for Branchville was miserably supported, or otherwise the score would have been much less. At the end of the ninth inning the score was ? tol in the visitors' favor. TheOrautre burg factors placed several anonymous statements in'last Saturday's State. Score by innings: Orangeburg 0 0 5 0 1 2 0 0 0?8 i Branchville 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1?1 Batteries: Orangeburg, C. Sorentrue ( and L. Hydrick; Branchville, W. Fairey and K. Pearlstine. Two-base hits: Orangeburg, Glaze and Sorentrue; Brac.chville: Cooner and Pearlstine. Umpire: Mr. Dantzler. Time of game, 1 hour and 15 minutes. The marriage of Mr. Baity Buoy to Miss Mollie Metts, the youngest daughter of Mrs. Mary Metts, created quite a surprise last Wednesday night. After prajrermeeting friends accompanied the happy pair to the parsonage of Rev. J. D. Frierson, and there they were happily joined in matrimony. The feature of the program was that the groom responded "Yes, sir" instead of "I will." The members of the second base-ball team met Monday night in J. F. Brown's office. The object of the meeting was to elect officers. Mt. Willie Fairey was unanimously chosen captain; J. F. Brown manager; Asbury Dukes assistant manager; Kivy Pearlstine secretary and treasurer. Some benefit will be derived from the successful meeting. Branchville vs. Ehrhardt at Howell's old mill Wednesday. A crowd of boys and girls will go from here. Can we nr??cih1v crut. a cramp wit.h Ramhero'V i/VMWIVv ?- ? OMr. Joseph Minus, who has been employed in Alabama for the past two or three years, returned with an attack of typhoid fever. He lies now dangerously ill at the home of his father, about six I miles from town. Dr. J. B. Johnston, of St. George, a cousin, has been called several times, besides the regular attending physician from here. Misses Minnie and Rosa Dantzlerhave gone to visit relatives in Bowmans. Everj'body well knows why Messrs. Willie Fairey and William Cooner went to Bowman's in. the rain Sunday. Mrs. W. P. 'Wright and baby, of Pacolet, S. C., are on an extended visit to relatives here. Mr. Harry G roves, who has been spending some time with Capt. Groves, his father, has returned to Roanoke, Va. Messrs. N. P. Murdaugh and T. L. Pearlstine attended the races at Bamberg Wednesday of last week, also the game of ball. Mr. S. S. Byrd will probably occupy his new brick store this week, as it is entirely completed. Prof. J. B. Henderson will take charge of the stores of Dukes & Co. this week. Hermes. Merited Praise. The following is copied from Swausea correspondence of the Lexington Dispatch. Dr. Langford, besides being a general practitioner, is a specialist in * - _ J ?:ii 1... I diseases 01 wuuicu, miu win nu uuuui I of benefit to the people in the Ehrhardt section: "Dr. John R. Laugford, to the regret of many of our citizens, lias decided to remove to Ehrhardt, in Bamberg county, to practice his profession, and on Monday, 23rd ult, left our town to make his home there. Mrs. Laugford has sold out her interest in the millinery business to' Mrs. Sallie Hutto, and on Thursday afterwards, went on a visit to her sister in Macon, Ga., before going to Bamberg county. They made many strong friends while with us and cany the best wishes of our citizens. Dr. Langford is a good physician of unusual skill and ability, fidelity and will well merit the patronage of his new home. Besides his worth in his profession, he was while with us, a public spirited citizen in all enterprises and had the courage of his convictions to think and act, and was a consistent church man, and always devoted to the highest and best interest of the church and Sunday school. Both as citizens and Christians, he and his companion, carry our respect and kindest remembrances. ; Swansea's less will be Ehrhardt's gain." Best Makes Obt :ind see it, boys; th* Denmark Doings.
