Next Tuesday is the day for the general election. State officers, a United States Senator, and Congressmen are to be elected. In several districts the Republicans have nominated a candidate for Congress. While this is only done for the purpose of making contests, still every white Democrat shouia go to tne pons and vote. We hope to see Bamberg county do its full duty by the nominees of the Democratic party. * * * We have talked to several of our most prominent citizens who are large tax- < payers, and very few are in favor of put- : ting any more money into the present school building in the way of repairs. , They favor a nice brick building, located 1 in a more central portion of the town, ; and the bonding of the school district for , this purpose. "We are inclined to believe that our people are generally opposed to any temporary measures, but want a good ' building, centrally located, and are willing to be taxed for this purpose. * * I * We notice that one or two newspapers J are rather opposed to the constitutional 3 amendment to be voted on next Tuesday ' at the general election, arguing that the ' proceeding is too much like repudiation, j Well, it is repudiation, if one is pleased ] to call it such, but it must be remembered '< that the bonds were issued and a debt put J upon these townships for a railroad J which was never built. Therefore it is j certain that the taxpayers have never re- ' ceived one particle of benefit. We venture j the assertion that few of us would care , to pay a debt wheu we did not get value < received, and this is the case in a nutshell. 1 We expect to vote "yes" on the amend- j ment, and we believe most people will > vote the the same way. ; Branchville News. i *"?

There wasn't more than $25 involved in the case, but it furnished plenty of ex- n citemeut for the court, jury and attorneys. The suit was styled Daly v. Ferrar. II. \ G. Daly, the plaintiff, dug a well 011 A. (1 M. Ferrar's place on South Bales avenue. He failed to receive full payment for his work, he said, so he brought suit for $10. A jury was called iii to decide the justness of Daly's claim, and the case went to trial. s During the taking of testimony some one E remarked that the well wasn't 80 feet deep. "Why," exclaimed Daly, who thought * he knew, since he had done the work, "of t] course, it's everv bit of 80 feet deen." But Ferrar took exception to his claim. a "If the well is 20 feet deep." he asserted, M "I'll pay you the *lf> and all the costs in the case beside." g. "I'll take it," was Daly's rejoiner. The jurymen and lawyers boarded a street car and proceeded to the site of the ^ well. Here the lawyers l>egan to wrangle a over the manner in which the measurement should be make. The foreman of the jury was getting angrjr. He ordered the lawyers and interested persons to re- ^ lire to the shade of a neighboring barn. 0 Then the jury proceeded to decide the c. case undisturbed. s; It was obvious that a tape line couldn't lie. It recorded exactly 28 feet 11 ? iuches a; as the depth of the well. Daly had lost j his case by the small fraction of one- y quarter of an inch. w tj Get a free sample of Chamberlain s ^ Stomach and Liver Tablets at Bamberg Pharmacy.

Decatur, Ala., October 25.?Mrs. Uarrie Nation lecuml here this afternoon. Among other things, she said: "Peruna is nothing but rot gut. and Schlitz's malt is all beer. "A dive in Kansas is different from an Alabama saloon." She gave her experience in smashing saloons and said the reason she did so was because she could get out of jail but drunkards could not get out of hell. The devil's liars say prohibition will not prohibit. "I will give any man $5 who will tell aie the difference between the democratic and republican parties. You cannot be temperate in getting drunk or getting others drunk. You cannot be temperate in lying and stealing. I am for temperance, I am for prohibiten. I am only a plain woman; all society women go directly to hell. My hatchet has caused people to think." She advised the Decatur women to smash the saloons and told them if they did not the saloons would smash them. She said: "The only place for the saloons is in hell with the devil. The anti-saloon league and the dispensaries are only side shows to the political parties." About three hundred listened to her. She did not smash any saloons here An Unlucky Citizen. "Yes, sir," said the town story teller, "he wuz the onluckiest feller that ever drawed the breath o' life an' a week's wages!" "You don't say V" "Fact. Clumb a pinetrec once, when he seen the sheriff comin'to levy on him; harricane come along, blowed the tree down, an' landed him in the only vacant seat in the sheriff's bnggy; sheriff started to jail with him; met by lynchin' party, who mistook him fer nuther man, an' strung him up; an' he'd almost quit kickin' when some un cut him down an' hauled him home jest as his mother-inlaw had finisned writin' his obituary, an' wuz standin' before the glass to see how well she looked in mournin'!" Sam Jones on Sonth Carolina Dispensary. The biggest thing in South Carolina is the dispensary. Ben Tillman and the devil saddled the thing on South Carolina md the politicians and the devil are running it with the aid of fools and rascals who buy the liquor. Whiskey is sold from the dispensary from sun up till sun down md the prices range from 10 cents for half a pint bottle to $1.00 for pint bottle, from popskull to "good likir." Drummers ind "gentlemen" buy the "good licker" md negroes and poor whites buy the 10 sents a pint stuff. All the dispensaries nf the state are furnished their liquor from the Columbia wholesale shop. The state takes its profits at headquarters before the town and county dispensaries get hold of it. Then the town and county divide the profits equally. And the work jf drunkard making goes steadily on. I find in mingling with the people (I mean the good people) for I go with no other sort, are all opposed to the dispensary. They say it's better than the saloon. Just as they prefer measles to smallpox. They say it's death to morals and manhood, whether it's furnished by saloon, blind tiger or dispensary. The dispensary is as much in politics in South Carolina as the saloons of Chisago or Altanta are in politics. Therefore both gangs know that when they go out sf politics they must go out of business. A.nd so it goes, and it looks like as long is the infernal greed of whiskey dealers md the infernal appetite for drink shall possess men that the traffic will go on, but I am still at my old game fighting the jang on both sides. They tell me I can't stop it, but I tell them that I am like the boy who grabbed the calf by the tail and ;he calf took off down the road at breakneck speed, and the boy keeping up with ;he procession and by and by a gentleman said to the boy, "Tom, what are you doing with that calf?" "I am trying to stop aim." "You can't stop him that way," said the gentleman. "I know I can't," said the boy, "but I'm slowing him up some." So I say, gentlemen, while I may never be able to stop the gang, I have them by ;he tail and hope to slow them up somewhat. I asked the hotel man in one of ;he South Carolina towns if the drummers bought muck dispensary liquor, he replied not much. A few of them still drink, but as a rule when a drummer gets drunk at my hotel, ae don't come back any more. I inquire )f him, and I learn his house has tired aim. He said I find that drinking or gambling drummers are growing scarcer jver year. Their houses fire them. Liquor was never under bond like it is ;oday, the fellows who drink it as the low clown white folks and negroes, who nave nothing to lose, or the well to do Fellows, who can afford to be vagabonds For they have money and money not only makes the filly go, but it makes a dog respectable. I keep saying that the last nan of us was born half dog and half nan, and many men have fed the dog in hem and starved the man, until the man in them is dead and the dog full grown, md there are thousands of fellows, who i they had a little more hair and a tail :hey could go to running rabbits for a aegro. A dog, fit for nothing but bologna sausage. Wliiskev is cf(log food, and poison. Summer Vacation Spoiled. "I intended to spend my vacation with i farmer in the interior of the state," said i Detroit salesman, "and I engaged board end got out there all right. The farmer lad a passable looking daughter, and it 10 happened that on the first day of my irrival I picked strawberries with her, vent to the orchard after apples, and :scorted her to a neighbor's. That first ivening we sat up rather late singing ongs and playing on the inelodeou. tfext day her fatlier took me out to the )arn and said: 44 'Joel, bein' as you arc eomin' into the amily I'd like to ask you for the loan of ?50/ 44 'What do you mean ?' I asked. " 'L-u-v, luv,' he replied, with a wink ,t me and a nod toward the house. "I turned him down as gently as I could, ?ut before noon his son' Sam, winked me iut into the orchard, and smilingly said: " 'Go right ahead. I shall be proud of ou as a brother in law. " 'But I have no thought of it,' I replied. " 'No, of course not,' he laughed, 'but I hould like to borrow $100 for three nonths. As I am going to be a relative ou won't want any note of hand.' "I tried not to hurt his feelings," said lie salesman, "but I think I did. We had ust eaten dinner, and I was on the vernda smoking when a stranger came alkingup and said: " 'I'm Sarah's Uncle Silas. lias she poke to you about me?' " 'I don't remember.' "'Mebbe she forgot to, but I'd like to orrow $o00 of you for a year. As you re going to marry Sarah it will be all in ic family.' "I turned him down and began to woner what sort of a box I had got into. I as in doubt as to whether I'd better go r stay, when Sarah's mother decided the use for me. She brought her sewing and xt down beside me and said: " 'You may think Sarah is sort o' cold nd stiffisli, but don't make a mistake, know she's in love with you and thinks ou'Jl make the nicest husband in the orld. Don't be afraid to pop the queson when you get ready, and if you want > give me $50 to buy clothes with?' "That was the end," sighed the salesian. "I fell sick all of a sudden and got it, and the rest of my vacation was put i at a farm house where there were no iralis to plot against my peace of mind id no relatives to spell love with three tters and take the remainder out in the ; >ng green."

Walt Whitman Dies Suddenly. Union, Oct. 27.?G. Walt Whitman is dead. He passed away on last night after an illness of only three days. His demise was totally unexpected, because but few knew of his sickness. He is the man who for several years past has sought guliernanatorial honors in this State. He was appointed to till out the unexpired term of a member of the legislature several years ago, this beiug the only office he ever held. He was once a minister and wellto-do, but spent his means in politics. He has resided here for the last four years and ran a small store on Main street near the court house. The funeral services will probably be held this evening. Brooks Harley Shot. (From Augusta Chronicle.) The following telegram published in the Baltimore Sun will be of interest to the people of Augusta aud South Carolina: "Parkersburg, W. Va., Oct. 26.?Lying on his bed with the knowledge that he is about to die, W. Brooks Harley, the proprietor of theMaliattan club, who was shot in the breast yesterday morning, bravely takes upon himself the blame for the fatal shot, which he yesterday declared was fired at him by his wife. "The cause of the shooting is a mystery. Harley arrived home from his club at 4 a. m., and in a few minutes thereafter the police were summoned. Upon tiieir arrival Harlcy declared that hi9 wife had shot him, but afterwards he denied this, and has since stoutly maintained, along with the other memders of the family, that he shot himself and that it was purely accidental. As there was no witness outside the family, it will never be known unless the family should tell what occurred." who he is. Harley was originally from Barnwell, S. C., of good family, and well known throughout the South. He ran a gaming house here for some time. He conducted a like establishment in Columbia, and Howard Allen, a friend of his, was killed at the foot of the steps one Sunday night in a row with a man named Smith. An Indictment, which has never been brought up, was rendered against Harley, and he was the chief witness against Smith in the murder trial in which the latter was acquitted. It was during the trial in Columbia that Solicitor Thurmond created a sensation by stating that Harley was a perfect gentleman, although a gambler. The pastors of all the churches in Columbia condemned this statement. Harley was in a gambling scandal in Augusta, and left this city. He afterward went to Savannah and was compelled to leave there. He was a man of remarkably distinguished appearance and, despite his business, had many friends all over the south. In response to an inquiry from The Chronicle the following telegram wes received at a late hour last night from Parkersburg: "Parkersburg, W. Va., October 28.? Chronicle, Augusta: Harley still alive; recovering rapidly. News." His Life In Peril.
