Bamberg is going to have electric lights and waterworks some of these days. \\ e are devoutly hoping that it won't belong. How about that new graded school building? Surely Bamberg has enough public pride to erect a respectable buildiug for the education of its youth. , It's a far cry to the governor of South Carolina after Heyward, but Ansel says lie will run again, and he'll come mighty > near being elected, too. It lias been a longtime since the upper part of the State has been represented by a chief executive. We Bambergians cannot expect to attract capital and new population unless we who live here have faith .enough in " the future of the town to establish needed public improvements. Good lights and a water system would be of incalculable benefit in this direction, but we will have ^ to pay for them. Let us not be shortsighted in this matter, but be willing to \ pay additional taxes if necessary for the future good of the town. Governor Heyward, we congratulate you. This newspaper supported you as a candidate and will endeavor to hold up your hands as our chief executive. We &' - knew you would make a good Governor, but, from your speech at Walterboro last Thursday, we believe you will make a i better one than we ever hoped for. If v you follow the course outlined in that speech you will not please the politicians, but we commdfi people will be right with y?u Without attempting to be too free in ? . the matter of advising farmers how to run their business, we must say it would pay to raise cattle and hogs for the market, v \ Beef cattle arc very scarce, prices are high, and even with this it is almost im <' . possible for butchers to get enough cattle to supply the demand. A gentleman told * fr>w dnvs aco that lioirs were worlh ; on the western markets 7| cents the . * pound gross. There is a quantity of land in this section which is only good for i pasturage, and it only remains for wideawake farmers to take advantage of these f? opportunities. There is undoubtedly T- good money to be made raising stock for market, and we trust the industry will be developed in this section. We have talked with many of the most prominent men in this county since the primary, and they all with one accord unite in condemning the present primary system. There are several valid objections raised: First on the ground of expense; as it is now no poor man can run for a State office; it is the fellow who has money to spend who is successful. Money and whiskey are used to purchase and debauch voters, and the influence of these two factors very often changes the result entirely. As a rule the primaries are conducted rather loosely and there is much room for fraud. With the experiences of the last four years fresh in our mind we must advocate a change. We dislike the > convention plan of nominating, but that seems to be the only alternative. There should be a change of some kind, for nf nc nm (rotHncrsif-b .111(1 distrusted J ...V, a s -- o over the disgraceful conditions now existing. ^ Official Result. The State executive committee met in Columbia last Friday night and officially declared the result of the second primary. There were no protests or contests, and following are the official figures: U. S. SENATOR. Latimer, 53,890; Evans, 36,371. Total vote, 90,621. Latimer's majority, 17,519. GOVERNOR.

Gantt, 47,312; Wilson, 43,069. Total vote, 90,981. Gantt's majority, 3,643. COMPTROLLER GENERAL. Jones, 45,885; Walker, 44,873. Total vote, 90,758. Jones's majority, 1,012. . ADJUTANT GENERAL. Frost, 49,422; Boyd, 41,544. Total vote, 93,967. Frost's majority, 7,S78. RAILROAD COMMISSIONER. Caughman, 51,060; Evans,39,756. Total vote, 5Hi,nh?. uauguman s majority, 1 congress, second district. Croft, 5,071; Bellinger, 5,847. Total vote, 11,SIS. Croft's majority, 124. congress, third district. Aiken, 8,772; Smith, 0,950. Total vote, 15,729. Aiken's majority, 1,810.

Senator; ? , Heyward Governor; Sloan Lieutenant Governor; Gantt Secretary of State; Jones Comptroller General; Frost Adjutant ; General; Croft Congressman. On the State ticket Bamberg county gave majorities to each of the successful candidates. ! Lanrens Cotton Market. Laurens, S. C., Sept. 15.?Three hun' - dred farmers ami business men held a mass meeting here to-day to discuss and take action, if advisable, relative to the cotton buying situation as it exists here. There being only one buyer in Laurens this buyer representing the local mill and two other mills. The charge has been made that mills are in combine and there is apprehension among farmers that they would not get full prices, etc. The port prices are being paid, however. After a number of speeches had been made a committee composed of farmers and business men, submitted a resolution to the effect that the Laurens mill be requested to put a buyer on the square and that failing export buyers, that he be invited to visit the market every Thursday at the bonded warehouses. This resolution passed and was adopted with an amendment added that if there be a combination or pooling of interests among the cotton mills with the view of controlling prices of the staple, as alleged, that a committee investigate the matter, collect evidence and report to the solicitor.

A Peculiar Clrcfimstance. A well known railroad man in conversation yesterday mentioned a peculiar circumstance which occurred on the Seaboard Air Line railway between Charlotte I and Hamlet on Wednesday morning. It seems that the passenger train on the Seaboard Air Line came into Charlotte 50 minutes late. The time was lost at Indian Trail, 15 miles east of Charlotte, and the cause was rather odd. At that place the engineer found the track blocked by a house. It seems that the house was being moved from one part of Indian Trail to another aud the route was across the railroad track. The contractor had timed his job and would have cleared the track in time for the passage of the train, but just as he had the house well on the track some of his moving apparatus broke down. Before repairs could be made theCharlotte bound passenger train came up. The passengers swarmed out and gave the contractor plenty of advice. However, he went about his business and had the track cleared after a delay of exact.'y 50 minutes.?The State. Keyword to the People. To the Democratic voters of South Carolina: It is with a sense of profound gratitude, mingled with a sense of solemn responsibility involved, that I tender you my heartfelt thanks for your trust and confidence as has been evidenced by the votes given to me in the recent primary. From every county and town, from every precinct and hamlet, have I been remembered with trust aud honor by my countrymen of our native State. With appreciation far too deep for speech, and with thanks that come from my heart, I pledge you again, by our sacred traditions and glorious history, by all that we hold dear, to do all in my power to prove worthy nf tjiic trpA;it irifi?flip confidence and fl" ft--" trust of South Carolinians. I). C. Heyward. Factional Lines Obliterated. An examination of the list of the successful candidates in the recent primaries shows their former factional differentiation to be: Senator: Latimer, reformer. Governor: Heyward, conservative. Lieutenant Governor: Sloan,conservative. Secretary of State: Gantt, reformer, Comptroller General: Jones, reformer. Adjutant General: Frost, conservative. Railroad Commissioner: Caughman, reformer. Attorney General: Gunter, reformer. Treasurer: Jennings,conservative. Congress: Legare,conservative; Croft, conservative; Aiken, conservative; Johnson, conservative; Finley, reformer; Scarborough, conservative; Lever, reformer. Ten reformers and nine conservatives make a pretty even division. If the offices f had been divided out by agreement they | could not have been more evenly apportioned. In the contest for governor it is somewhat rotable that Tall>ert, reformer, carried Richland, a solid conservative county, while Heyward, conservative,! carried Spartan burg, a rock-ribbed reform county. A number of other such instances as this strongly attest the obliteration of factional lines.

Nashville, Tenx., Sept. 15.?Two novelties have appeared to the Nashville postal clerks within forty-eight hours. First came a one dollar bill, sans wrapper, envelope or anything to hide it, the only thing to denote its destination being a label pasted on its back on which was written tiie name of its consignee, but nothing to indicate the consignor. The man who received it in due course of mail delivery is keeping it as proof positive that postal clerks, in this region at least, are incorruptible. The second aberration was in the shape of a roll of greenbacks deposited in a railway postal car at Bowling Green, Ky., without envelope or wrapper of any sort. A bit of frazzled twine was fastened about the wad?it wasn't a very hefty one, containing only $15?and to this was tied a tag bearing the address of a local firm. This, too, reached the concern for which it was intended. Postal officials are of the opinion that this method of transmitting money is safer than it seems, the fact of the money's being unconcealed conveying the idea that it is intended as a decoy. Still, this sort of thing is not expected to become popular. For a bad taste in the mouth take Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.

I ley ward's election as Governor. He made a magnificent , speech, which was full of patriotism. | But one of the best things lie said is J, copied below: I , "I believe in home rule. It is a princi- < pie which is dear to every true South j Carolinian and to every true American , citizen. While it shall be my purpose to ( recognize the recommendations of the 1 several county delegations in matters per- , taining to the interest of their respective counties, I give fair notice of my determination to examine into the character, reputation and fitness of those who are recommended to me for appointment, and if I find that the best interest of the common welfare will not be best served by making such an appointment, I will not feel called upon to accede to the wishes of the delegation. It must be remembered that the responsibility for all appointments and acts rests finally upon the governor, and delegations should, therefore, be careful that their choice falls upon only such as can creditably reflect upon the one who makes the appointment." A Certain Core for Dysentery and Diarrhoea. "Some years ago I was one of a party that intended making a long bicycle trip," says F. L. Taylor, of New Albany, Bradford County, Pa.

Again last summer I was almost completely run down with an attack of dysentery. I bought a bottle of this same remedy and this time one dose cured me." Sold by Bamberg Pharmacy. Another Express Robbery. Charleston, S. C., Sept. 13.?Train No. 23, of the Atlantic Coast Line, due here at 1:25 last night, was held up about 75 miles from here. Soon after the train left Lanes, a young white man entered the express car, blindfolded the messenger, G. G. Lewis, and robbed him of about $160 in cash and then robbed the car of several packages of jewelry and other articles. He did not try to tamper with the safe. When the train got to Charleston the robber jumped off with his booty. Messenger Lewis shot at the man as lie left the train. The matter is in the hands of the express company and detectives. The crew, including the messenger, continued south. A ParsoR's Noble Act. UI want all the world to know," writes Rev. C. J. Budlong, of Ashaway, R.
