Denmark lodge. The meeting was an
interesting and profitable one, especially
to Mr. R. W. D. Rowell, on whom

presence is always appreciated.
No Jury for Jury Term.
In accordance witn a peuuou sigucu
by the bar, Judge D. A. Townsend has
issued an order instructing the jury commissioners
not to draw petit juries for the
July term of court, also ordering the
Clerk of Court to notify the grand jurors
not to assemble. This means that no
jury cases will be tried this term. Court
will be held as usual, but only equity
cases will be disposed of and the court
will only last a few days.
Vacation l>ays.
Vacation time is here and the children
are fairly living out of doors. You need

market." Sure cure for piles and skin
diseases. Beware of counterfeits. Bamberg

Hey ward in Newberry.
At the State campaign meeting held in

the favorite for governor, as the
following, taken from the Newberry Observer,
will show: 4,The favorite was
evidently Heyward. He received a good
deal of applause; not of a noisy kind, but
sincere and appreciative. If the crowd
present on Tuesday is any indication, he
will carry Newberry county by a big

Social and Otherwise.
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

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.

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:

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.

of many of our citizens, lias decided to

to practice his profession, and on Monday,

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.

Indigestion i9 often, caused by overeating.
An eminent authority says
the harm done thu9 exceeds that from
the excessive use of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don't overload
the 9tomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need a good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food without
the stomach's aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonic9 Kodol contains
soon restore health. Dieting unnecessary.
Kodol quickly relieves the feeling
of fulness and bloating from
which some people suffer after meals.
Absolutely cures indigestion. .
