There are only two ^ public sales by any of the officials: the ^ two tracts of land advertised in this paper ^ % to be sold by the Master. The county ' board of commissioners will be in session J that dav. C The enrollment at the graded school ? has-already passed the two hundred mark, j The school now gets double the amount from the three mill tax that it did the ? first year Mr. Calhoun taught here. With j a suitable building the enrollment would j be further increased. j A Barnwell man who circulated cxten- j sively down the Saltkehatchic last week i says it looked like the good old times to \ see the fine corn and cotton crops in Buford's Bridge and Three Mile township. Potatoes, peas and cane were most promising and he never before saw so many turnip patches.?Barnwell People. ,1 c There are those wno say uiui me iuu*i- , ment to annex Blackville township to Bamberg county will not amount to any- thing when the matter is seriously con- 1 sidered by all parties interested. There are others who assert that it is a "sure go," A and no question about it. We will watch for further developments.?Barnwell Sentinel. Mrs. C. E. Lyons, wife of .T. E. Lyous and daughter of Conrad and Sal lie Zeig- j ler, died at her home near Walterboro , Ma}* 15th, 1902, aged 68 years, 9 months, j and 21 days. She leaves a husband, three j children, and 25 grand-children, as well j as a host of friends and relatives to mourn , her loss. She was an aunt of Mr. J. P. ] McElroy, of this place. We understand that the citizens of j Blackville intend making efforts to carve a new county with Blackville as the < county seat. We are not informed as to ; what territory they propose for the new county, but it seems to us that Barnwell and Aiken are the only two counties from which they can get territory, unless they , ? ??v.? iTorintOr-iiiirf-hnr" Wei! go across ijjc 11? ... would not discourage them in any way, but Blackville is not situated where it would be near the center of a new county, and the effort is likely to fail for that reason. Failing in this, however, we hear they will annex to Bamberg. We were permitted a few days ago to read a letter from Mr. .T. Clifton Byrd, who is now in Indian Territory, to his father, Mr. J. A. Byrd. Clifton says the country is wild and there is much lawlessness and disorder, hut that the climate, farming lauds, etc., are tine. Many of the best whites intermarry with Indians, who are educated, intelligent, and refined. Many men marry Indian girls, for the fovernment gives to each person of adian blood 320 acres of land and *u;o in cash. He says our crops here cannot begin to compare with those raised out there. Hands get tioc. per hundred for picking cotton, and a good band can easily pick 300 pounds a clay. Imitation is the sincerest kind of (lattery. Tin: Messrs. Black have moved into their new stores. Several from here attended camp meeting at Cattle Creek last Sunday. Ain't it funny dat w'en a man strikes prosperity he fergits all erhout how po' lie wuz *fo' he got dar? The young men of the town are endeavoring to organize a social club, and about twenty-live names have been enrolled as members. A meeting will be held to-morrow evening to organize and elect officers. A congregational meeting of the Baptist congregation was held last Sunday, and Rev. M. L. Lawson was called for _ another year. Mr. Lawson is in high favor with his congregation, and will accept the call. A meeting of the board of directors of h The Cotton Oil Company was held yes- i' terday at the mill office, and Mr. G. Moye E Dickinson was elected a director, tilling n the vacancy caused b}* the resignation of tl Mr. W. M. Brabham. L Mr. Miles J. Black happened to a pain- ^ ful accident last week. He got his left hand severely cut in a glass door at his Tn ftlmttinir flip door he pushed against the pane of glass which In gave way.

' 'olumbia correspondence News and 'ourier. 1 ( Card from Editor Jordan. < Editor Bamberg Herald:?In the j ist issue of your paper appeared a local ( otice so vague and indefinite in meaning t < to convey a bad. impression to me i s timls of my friends and acquaintances g i Bamberg, to wit: "Mr. A. B. Jordan, j litor of The Dillon Herald, has been q rosecuted for criminal libel. The suit rew out of statements in his paper as to a 3gus tax certificates used in the new \ )unty election." The facts are simply a 5 follows: Typewritten and printed tax j ;ertificates" were used in lieu of bona le tax receipts to defeat the new county ^ st January. At the campaign meeting i ire on August 22 Mr. W. E. Blue,candi- j ite for re-election to the office of county (_ easurer, stated on the stump to an audilce of 400 people the names of the gentle- g en who got the certificates from his 0 lice and also accused them of acting in j, id faith. These facts, along with some j her evidence showing that questionable g etliods were employed to defeat the new unty, were published in the Dillon n erald, resulting in a suit against me for v ualicious defamation of character." The hole thing in a nutshell is that the in- j, ctment is merely a ruse to destroy what V; fluenee The Herald may exercise in es using the new county cause, and gives ^ 2 little concern personally. The facts ited above are substantiated by the deiled accounts of the circumstance which sj ceutly appeared in the daily papers and e. rich doubtless you have seen. ej Yours very "truly, A. B. Jordan.

A Weak ^luinauii Indigestion Is often caused by overeating. An eminent authority says the harm done thus exceeds that from the excessive use of alcohol. Eat all the good food you want but don't overload the stomach. 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 tonics 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. Kodol Nature's Tonic. Prepared only by E. C. DEWiTT&Co.,Chlcajjo.
