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.

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.

Cadet 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.

Bamberg?Some Impressions.
[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.

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.
Young Heyward Dunbar got into a
fight with one of his hands last Thursday

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,
