The Master sold a lot in the town of -Bamberg, in the case of Gleaton vs. Davis. It was bid in by Jno. R. Bellinger, Esq.. for Levi A Gleaton for $150. The Sheriff sold sixty acres of land in Three Mile township, in the case of Ehrhardt vs. , Carter as administrator. It was bought by J. C. Copeland for $151. Last week when we prepared a short article in reference to the granting of _ bail by Judges for the crime of murder, we were not aware of the fact that an aprxH/vati.nr, h?ri hppn refnsed in this town only a year or so ago. But the presiding Judge at a term of court in Bamberg refused, at chambers, an application for bail by the attorneys for D. P. Johnson, who killed B. Rivers Carroll in Blackville. The famous Chicago Stars, the ladies' baseball club, known as the "bloomer girls," will play a game here to-morrow (Friday) afternoon, March 6th, on the local diamond with a team composed of the best local players.

James Ray Geraty, Young's Island, S. C. Last week Hon C. W. Garris presented to Governor Heyward a strong petition signed by leading citizens of this place asking for the pardon of Elliot Grayson, a negro, convicted of the murder of the shoemaker Adams and sentenced to life imprisonment in the penitentiarv. The _ ;n ? e ..1 l.? petition hiii of jcicucu uy Lut jiMtiii... to Assistant Attorney General W. H. Townsend, who was solicitor of this circuit at the time Grayson was convicted. J. W. Black, the white man whom we spoke of last week as defying arrest, was arrested and put in jail last Friday afternoon. It appears that he left town for a day or so. The arrest was made by Policeman Cain and Constable Noel Padgett, and Black submitted quietly. A preliminary hearing was held last Saturday morning before Magistrate Lightsey, and Black was bound over to the Circuit Court in a bond of $200. He has not yet given the bond, and is still in jail. He appears to regret his actions of last week very much. A friend of ours, who is an enthusiast on the subject of good roads, in conversation with us a few days ago suggested that the newspapers could do the cause of better highways much good by advocating the use of wide tires on all kinds of vehicles. This newspaper has printed many columns on this subject in the past few years, but it is well to keep on bring ing it to the attention of our people. Wide tires not only make the draft lighter, but they do not cut up the roads near so badly. Many experiments have been made with wide and narrow tires, and the results are always greatly in favor of the wide tires. In buying vehicles of any kiud get wide tires and you will be pleaset with results. r Gentle spring seems to be coming and near at band. Cheap watches, clocks, and jewelry at T. 0. Rouis's. Our merchants have begun to recci\e their spring goods. Farmers arc making good use of the little fair weather they are getting. Mr. B. Risher and family have moved into the Ilooton house, opposite Mr. Otis Brabham',s. Spring line of Griffon brand clothing for men and boys, just in at Klauber's. After the loth of this month executions will be isued for State and county taxes. Better pay before that time. The city council met last Tuesday afternoon in regular monthly session, but only routine business was transacted. Col. Jno. F. Folk's many friends will be glad to know that he was operated on last Friday and it was entirely successful. He is getting along nicely, and will return home in a week or so. W c are still receiving subscriptions for the tvvice-a-week News and Courier, aud you can get from us an entire year for fifty cents, provided you pay for The Herald one year in advance. Splendid line of R. & G. pants, pretty spring patterns, at Klauber's. The dispensary constables are making it very warm for the blind tigers in Charleston these days. Governor Heyward plainly intends to have the law rigidly enforced in the city by the sea, and in his efforts he will have the support of all law-abiding people. ~ ? noM' cfAc.l- <-*f cnrincr M t" IJil V C rt illLU lit n cvvta v* k.-^? <<a^ goods, and ask all who want to buy goods at right prices to see our line. Rhoad & Bamberg. Young Fairey, who killed his stepfather, Heape, iu Branch ville Tuesday, is well known iu Bamberg, and has many friends here. He was a student at the Carlisle Fitting School a few years ago, and is only about 23 years old. He surrendered to the Sheriff, and is now iu Orangeburg jail, but will apply for bail at once. The coroner's jury brought in a verdict of justifiable homicide. D. W. Shealy pays highest prices for cow hides, both green and dry. The question of Avaterworks and electric lights should be agitated in the coming city election. We need these things, and* should get them if possible. The matter should be fully investigated, and if it is found that the cost is too great for the advantages to be dirived, then we ought not to have them. But, on the other hand, if the systems can be established here at a cost commensurate with the benefits we will receive, why we ought to get them. In any event, our people should have the opportunity of voting on the question. Convict Captured Last Sunday night Mr. Jacob L. Rentz, formerly a resident of this section,brought to Sheriff Hunter a negro named Dick Green, whom he had captured last Saturday at Adams Run, Colleton county. Green is an escaped convict from the Bamberg county chain gang, he having escaped about a year ago. He was convicted of stealing, and sentenced to one year, but he got away after having served about four months of the sentence. He has been carried back to the gang. Dispensary Sales for February.

Laftitte, who teaches school in the low country, has been on a visit to his family. Miss Janio Fiennikeu, our accomplished music teacher, went to Due West, S. C., last week. She performed at a musical concert held at one of the colleges in that town. Supervisor E. C. Bruce was here last week. He is doing good work above Denmark, and no doubt will soon improve the road near Binnaker's bridge. The friends of J. J. Fogle, have been congratulating him on his appointment as commissioner. Jake is a good raconteur, and no doubt will make a very acceptable officer. Mr. W. M. Cauthen, of Bamberg, was ill our midst a few days ago. Dr. J. F. Baggott, of your town, was up here on professional business last week. As soon as practicable our alert Professor Wiggins iuteuds raising the standard of his school so that a girl graduating here can enter the junior class- in college. That will be a decided move forward. Also he proposes to secure a first-class teacher of dress making, in order that a young lady may take cloth and convert it into "a thing of beauty if not a joy forever." This will popularize his school as nothing else, and no doubt people will move here to secure the advantages of one of the best academies below Columbia. Your correspondent hopes the day will soon come wheu all our graded schools will give instruction in stenography, typewriting, dressmaking, etc. There are thousands of poor girls who cannot attend Winthrop and other colleges; bring these advantages home to them and thus fit them for the battle of life.

'Tire OiTinrr Marph2.?The magnifi i ncj cent parade, which was promised the people of the.city a few weeks ago, certainty came up to the expectations of all. Promptly at 2.30 o'clock Monday afternoon the citizen soldiery of the city were seen approaching in column of fours, and in a few minutes the magnificent spectacle of over six hundred well uniformed soldiers were seen standing in line of company columns. The cadets of the Porter Military Academy then marched up and formed on the right of the militia, adding still another charm to the scene? especially to the "cadet girls." The scene was finally made complete, when, out through the salty port of the grim old building, tying across the entire "green," came "double timing" to the music of the artillery corps band the finest body of cadets soldiers in America (excepting of course those of the National Academy)? the Citadel cadets. Across the square they doubled timed inclines not swerving an inch and halted over on the extreme right. The scene was complete-. A more magnificent one Charleston has never witnessed. As soon as the inspection by General Frost was completed, the march j down to the battery was commenced, the s order of march being as follows: One j battalion of Citadel cadets, two companies of Porter cadets, one regiment of militia, one company of naval reserves, one troop of cavalry, one battery of light artillery and one battery of horse artillery. The parade was witnessed by thousands of people and by the cheers, which were' almost continuous from the beginning to ho onri ir is safetosav. all were charmed. While passing the hotels Argyle, Charleston and St. John, the cadets were applauded loudly by the many visitors who were thronging upon the balconies. The only response that caitfd be given, however, was a clear command by the officers and a straight line by the line. The parade was over b^ 5.40 and soon all was as quiet as before. ' Exams are over and all, of course, are pleased. Some, however, are beginning to realize that all the time which has been thrown away, cannot be made up now in the short four months left, and are begining to drop out. Cadet Walker, who was forced to retire in 1900 on account of sickness, has returned with the determination, he says, to graduate. The class of 1900 presented to each of the literary societies through its president, Mr. Smoak, a beautiful crayon portrait of William Gilmore Simms. In a few words I Mr. Smoak told of the fine organization of his class and advised the present class to do likewise. Then in a short speech he presented the portraits. Through Cadets Cole and Copeland the two societies thanked their friends for the gift, at the conclusion of which the meeting was adjourned. C. 03. Ehrhardt Etchings. Ehrhardt, March 2.?Mrs R. L.

[by i)r. n. e. mahbarb.] One day while I was making a tour o1 this State, I happened to be journeying through the section which embraces Bam berg aud Barnwell counties; I came to z cross-roads and seeing the names of the towns to which the various roads led painted on a cross board, I noticed thai of Bamberg on one side; I had often wished to go to this place but the opportunity had never presented itself until j now, so inquiring of Bob, my servant, il i he thought I would like Bamberg he replied: "Sab, yo sho will like dat place hit am de purttiest leetle city ever yc seed." With this assurance from Bob, we drove for Bamberg, According to Bob and I found him generally correct, we had a six mile drive before us. During this drive I was posted by my servant on the ooints of interest to be seen in the town. I remembered that Bamberg was widely known for its fine artesian watei and that it was often termed the "Artesian City." It was not long before we wen entering Bamberg, and my first impres siou was that it had a very busy air aboul it and I found out later that my impres sion was a correct one, for it proved tc be one of the busiest little places I hac ever struck. The first building which at tracted my attention was the cotton mill this building alone, with all its noise gave the town a city-like atmosphere We drove up Main street towards tin courthouse intending at first to drive about the town that same afternoon, bul being tired I thought best to wait unti] the morrow. So I asked Bob to drive to some feed stable where I might get a place for my horse to stay for a few days As Bob said there were "jist lots uv place.' to put your horse." It was while going to the stable to put up my horse when 1 noticed a sign over a door which read "The Bamberg Herald;" instantly I turned to Bob and said, "why, Bob, this is quite a little city, with its cotton mill, newspaper, and beautiful court house it should be a progressive town." "Yassir, hit she is 'gressive, hit's got moin one newspapei too, for de Bamberg County Times is printed jist round de corner up dere, dec dere's de oil mill, de iron works, de wagon works, besides dat dese people here believes in edication, dey's got a mighty purty school house up dere on de hill dey call hit de Fittin School, I believe, and hit sho is a fittin one. Yoo haint seen none of dem tiugs yit; yoo jist wait and befo yoo left dis here town yoo will think it am de real article," and I was destined to agree with him. After I had gotten a place for my horse I started back towards the court house; I had walked about three blocks when I noticed for the first time, a sight which did my very heart good, it was one of those artesian wells of which I had heard so much. I followed the example set for me by some little boys, and nornhprt mveplf nn on the cement basin ? ?j -i ? and took my first sip of Bamberg artesian water. I say sip for it was but a sip that I let get in my mouth that time. I really can't say that I enjoyed the first taste, for it was far from a pleasant one. I have since come to think that the water is as agreeable to one's taste after having taken several drinks as it is disagreeable the first time. I was destined to have a love for Bamberg artesian water which would always remain with me. Bob having conducted me to a hotel, (and let me say here that I was very much pleased with the one I stopped at), I gave him a little money and told him to have my horse ready for me at nine o'clock the next morning. Bob did not tarry long after I had given him the money but with a "yassir, boss," he started down the street and I noticed that he turned the same corner as the one on which the artesian well was. I learned that Bob having become accustomed to the water, visited a place further down where something even stronger than artesian water was kept. It was hard for me to conceive ol anything stronger than that water at that time, but it was not long before I should see that there was something stronger and that Bob had gotten hold ot some of it. (to be continued.) Barnwell News. . Barnwell, February 25?Court is at hand and the criminal busiuess, it is said, will occupy about two weeks. This will necessitate an extra term of Court probably, unless some of the cases on the criminal docket are continued. An ugly crime, it is feared, was committed across the creek last Saturday night. An idiotic colored girl was sent by her mother to a neighbor after dark, a short distance off, and has disappeared and not been seen since. Foul play is suspected and the surrounding country has been scoured with no result.

ONE I MINUTE | One Minute Cough Cure gives relief In one minute, because it kills the microbe which tickles the mucous membrane, causing the cough, and at the same time clears the phlegm, draws out the inflammation and heals and soothes the affected parts. One Minute Cough Cure strengthens the lungs, wards off pneumonia and is a harm* less and never failing cure in all curable cases of Coughs, Colds and Croup. Our little girl was unconscious from strangulation during a sudden and terrible attack of croup. I ouicfcty secured a bottle of One Minute Cough Cure ana gave her three doses half an hour apart. The croup was mastered and our little darling speedily recovered. I cannot praise One Minute Cough Cure too much far what it has done in our family.?A. L. Spafford, Postmaster, Chester, Mich.
