brother. N. G. Gonzales. That he will
fill the position with ability and fearlessness,
all who know him are assured.

A new phase of the race question has
come to the surface. A fellow who
stands up for social and political rights
for the negro is in danger of being charged
with having negro blood in in his veins.
This view of the question will no doubt
have the effect of quieting some blatant
reformers.
Some (xood Argument
Editor Bamberg Herald.?In the
discussion as to the advisability of voting
for the issue of bonds for the purpose of
erecting a graded school building for
Bamberg school district No. 14, one important
fact has been overlooked, and
that is that the constitution fixes three
mills tax on all taxable property for
school purposes. This tax in Bamberg
county amounts to about eight thousand
dollars and is divided among the schools
in proportion to the enrollment; therefore
if Bamberg district No. 14 should build
and maintain a first class graded school
and thereby offer exceptional advantages,
the enrollment would be increased by
the attendance of children whose parents
wish to send them to a good school, and
district No. 14 would receive a proportionately
increased amountjof this fund in
proportion to the increased enrollment,
which would aid to a great extent in
maintaining the school.
Whpthcr we hnild nn the school or not
' we will be compelled to pay this tax because
it is fixed by the constitution, therefore
if we would look to our best interest
we will try and get all the benefit that we
can out of this tax and at the same time
give to the citizens of our county the advantages
of a first-class graded school for
their children. There is no question but
- that this school would increase the value
of the property of every citizen of the
district ten times the amount of the taxes
it would take to build it. Denmark, Oak
Grove, Govan, Hopewell, and other districts
pay three mills special tax; in Bamberg
district No. 14 the railroads and
corporations pay one-third of the taxes
! * of the district, then why should we the
citizens of this district object to the three
mills special when other districts not
so wealthy pay it and when we know
that so much can be accomplished with
it towards the advancement of the educational
and material interests of the
community.
Reference has been made to the poor
man and the poor widows being taxed to
pay for the school building. In answer
to this wre will take as an illustration a
poor person who has five children and
'jbh owns and pays taxes on $100 worth of
property. At three mills he wrould pay
30 cents and for this he would have the
privilege of having his five children
taught for nine months; on the other
gi - hand if the lowest tuition, $1.00 perl
month, had to he paid, it would amount
to $45 per session. This comparison, in
my humble judgement, should convince
the people of moderate means that it is to
their interest to vote for this levy.
I trust that every citizen in the district
- will cast his vote in favor of such a
worthy cause.

at the end of our last term, but the jail is
now crowded with both white and colored
men and it will take a number of days to
clear it. The following white men will
be tried for murder: George Murdaugh,
who killed Isaiah Polk at the latter's
home during- the Christmas holidays;
Magistrate Behling, who killed Henry M.
Blitch near Young's Island; and Allen
Adams and Henry Hoff for killing Henry
M. Jaques near Cottageville several
months ago.
Supervisor J. O. Jaques will also be
tried at the approaching term for official
misconduct. It will be remembered that
Judge Klugh quashed the indictment,
but the case was carried to the supreme
court and was remanded to the circuit
court for trial.
J. W. Carter and Allison Herndon,
white men, were arrested about a year
ago for stealing a horse. Herndon was
tried and acquitted. Carter, however,
skipped his bond. Herndon on his trial <
put the entire thing on Carter. Carter 1
was arested a few days ago by Sheriff '
Owens and is now in jail awaiting his '
trial.
Jim aud Charles Robinson, two white
men, have been in jail several months

Observations,
The spirit which prompted the State
company to dedicate its editorial columns
to its departed chief, is one w hich we
strongly admire. This is a splendid way
ti) preserve the memory of a worthy man,
and as Lowell has said :
"A great man's memory is the only thing,
With influence to out last the present
whim.
And bind us as when here he knit out

If President Roosevelt would agree
with George Elio t when she says in her

think that he would save himself a lot of
uupleasantuess, his countrymen a lot of
trouble, and be doing the negro a nal
service.

The .School Building Matter.
Editor The Bamberg Herald -The
people of Bamberg school district have
read with much interest the letters of
Col. Counts in opposition to the plan now
on foot to build and equip a much-needed
school house for the poor"as well as the
rich children of the district, and have
noted with pleasure your replies thereto.
No one is surprised in the least that
the Colonel opposes this or any other
movement that would require him to
pull out a few dollars to assist in building
up and improving this community.
He ha9 lone since "soured" on the town
and has repeatedly expressed a desire to
get out of and away from Bamberg and
has on more than one occasion said he
would leave here if he could dispose of
his property at one-half its value. Could
anything else be reasonably expected of
a man occupying such position ?
But how different with Gen. Bamberg
to whom the Colonel alluded iu his last
article as having joined hands with him
in this fight!?A fight to deprive the youth
now living in this community, as well as
generations yet unborn, of those comforts
and educational advantages which they,
have a right to expect and even to demand
of us and which are necessary to fit them
for lives of healthfulness, usefulness and
honor as they become men and women.
It is said that unusual strength of
mind and character is required to prevent
a man from becoming "soured" when the
infirmities and afflictions of old age begin
to creep upon him, and the record of Gen.
Bamberg's life is such that it would be
hard to conceive ot anytning mat nngni
happen to cause him to raise his hand in
opposition to any movement looking to
the development and improvement of his
town and the elevation and betterment of
the youth of his native county. His
purse strings have never been closely
drawn when his help was needed in a
righteous cause.
How then, for the sake of a few paltry
dollars needed in the way of taxation for
the education of the poor of oureommunity,
as well as the improvement of our
town, could he assume the role assigned
him by Col. Counts? Such a thing can
scarcely be imagined of that man, who
has already given his tens of thousands
for the cause of education and Christianity,
that man in whose honor our proud little
county bears its name and in honor of
whose brother the name of our little city
was changed from Lowry's. No. Verily
no! Surely there must be some mistake
and we hope, Mr. Editor, to see a denial
in your next issue. Citizen*.
Bamberg, S. C., March 24,1903.
Cadet Slang.
No matter where one goes he is sure to
be accosted by a slang expression. On the
street, in the office, in the college, even
in the church, one discourses in slang.
In colleges, of course, slang reaches its
highest development?so far has it gone
in fact that many English professors are
fearful lest the proud language which
they teach, will soon be a mere bit of a
"slang" dialect, in no college aoessiang
find a lodging place so readily as in a
military college where one is taught to be
brief in all things. Thus it happens that
the Citadel possesses probably the finest
slang dialect in the South. As a whole
these words have no meaning to a "cit,"
but without them the gay cadet would
soon be obliged in the absence of a dictionary
to keep his mouth'shut.
The following are a few examples
which have been used for "generations"
and have been sanctioned by all: The
"arena" is that part of the "quadrangle"
employed by "tourists" in their "travels
abroad;" a cadet is "at home" when under
arrest; to "break" barracks is to go on
leave without permission; to "pull one's
leg" is to report a cadet for some minor
olfense. For a "loo" to "kid" a "rat"
into taking "gaul tonic" with a "krag
point" is equivalent to a lieutenant giving
a recruit a mixture of vaseline and quinine
by the use of a Krag-Jorgensen bayonet.
In order to save breath the cadets says:
the "O. D." has sent the "O. G." to the
"0. C." on "O. B.," instead of the officer
of the day has sent the officer of the guard
to the officer in charge on official business.
The orderly of the room is always the
"chamber maid;" one always speaks of
the superintendent as "Sujie," a corporal
as "corp." "Uncle .Billy's" (tne i^uartermaster)
"variety" (bill of fare) includes
"wasp nest" (bread),"axle grease"(butter),
"muck" (cow peas), "saltpetre" (tea),
"mush" (hominy), "tangle foot" (prunes)
etc. "Pittal Record" is the surgeon's report
sent to "little George" every morning,
and which contains the names of
those cadets, who have "bummed" "Ex.
M. D.," " 'scused drill" etc., for various
causes?all the way from "injured"
knuckles, "sudden attacks of nausea,"
"weak eyes" and "cut" foot (ingrowing
toe nails).
To a cadet who is perfectly familiar
with the "ropes," this slang is always 1
ready at the right time; but often "cits,"
who hear the "terms" and attempt to re- i
peat them, tind themselves in very bad
plight from a too frequent use of them.
Thus it happened that a few weeks ago a 1
Senior from one of the literary colleges <
in the upper part of the State dropped in <
to see a cadet, and heard some of the slang <
which is used most often. Thinking that
;he cadets used these "terms" at all times, <
lie undertook to appear "bright" with a 1
young college girl who sat next him at
;he Confederate Home "Affair." After a
little flirting he began a conversation, but
was soon surprised to see that his friend
tiad not answered. "Why'what's up'now "
lie asked, "are you afraid that teacher
:>ver there will 'pull your leg.' " Seeing <
liis mistake, the senior promptly "nulled
jut" and has never been heard to "play" <
with our slang since. <
Dots from St. Johns.
St. John's, March 23.?We were
shocked to hear of the sad death of Mrs.
Margaret Henderson, which occurred at
her home in the Kcarse section last Sunday
morning about ten o'clock. She was
in bad health for several years, but no
worse than common for only about one
week. The deceased was a good Christian
woman, and was a member of St.
John's Baptist church. She was 73 years
old and leaves one sister and one son and
a host of relatives and friends to mourn
her departure. Her remains were laid to
rest at the Kearse burying ground Monday
morning.
Farmers almost through planting corn,
and are getting ready for cotton.
Misses Lou Hiers, Vena Breland, and

night with Mr. and Mrs. R.C. Johns, and
of course boys were plentiful until twelve
o'clock.
Mr. J. B. All, of Colston, spent last
Saturday with Mr. G. S. Shaw.
Mr. Cary Kinard visited over on Camp
Hill last Sunday.
Mr. Willie Chassereau spent last Sunday
with Mr. W. L. Mitchum.
The members of St. John's church met
last Saturday for the purpose of doing
some work on the church. The crowd
met about 8 o'clock and appointed Mr. J.
W. Kinard as foreman.
Mr. E. F. Kinard gave a sociable last
Thursday evening, which was very much
enjoyed by all of those who attended.

Oak Grove Baseball Dots.
The Oak Grove baseball club met last
Saturday afternoon at the school house
and reorganized. The following officers
were elected for this year: D. P. Smith
mancger; Jno. J. Iliers; captain; W. F
IIiers, secretary and treasurer. We will
meet again next Saturday afternoon tc
prepare our ground, which will be situated
near tiie school house this year,
The prospects of the team this year are
very good, and in a few weeks we will
be in line trim. Then we will be ready
to give any of the country teams a game,
and if the beat us they will say: "It wasn't
as easy to do as it was last year, for the
Oak Grove boys are learning how tc
play ball." 0. G.
Droye Wagon Over Son.
Norway, March 20.?To-day about 11
o'clock Joe Baltzegar, a farmer who lives
about three miles from this place, had the
misfortune to run over his son, Leo, a
boy of about eight years.
The lamentable affair occurred in this
way: Mr. Baltzegar, while hauling his
fertilizers, took his son Leo with him anei
on returningLeo accidentally fell from the
wagon, the wheel running over his heat
and crushing the skull.
It is reported here that the lad is dead
but of this no certain knowledge has
come to town; nevertheless he is serious

I was in a barbershop when one old
chap was in the chair and another was
close by talking to him on the subject ol
religion, and this is what I overheard
"You say you expect to go to heaven
when you die? What do you suppose
the Lord will find for you to do there ?"
"Well, you know I have always been
taught that the Lord finds some pleasant
occupation for his saints, and naturally
selects work that he knows will be pleas

that he will put me to killing Yankeesprovided

How it was Cured.
Out in Ohio an earnest advocate ol
Christian Science noticed a very lame
man passing her house morning and evening
and determined to effect a cure
through absent treatment. After several
days of prayer she was delighted one
morning to see that his limp had almost
eutirely disappeared. That evening she
accosted him as he approached and joyfully
related what she had done for him
"Yes, ma'am," said he, "it has been very
bad lately, but yesterdayT I had it fixed,
You see ma'am, it's a wooden one."
Danger of Colds and Drip.
The greatest danger from colas and grip
is their resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable
care is used, however, and Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy taken,all danger will
be avoided. Among the tens of thousands
who have used this remedy for these diseases
we have yet to learn of a single case
havingresultedin pneumonia,whichshows
conclusively that it is a certain preventive
of that dangerous disease. It will cure a
cold or an attack of the grip in less time
than any other treatment. It is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by Bamberg

A Sixty-Pound Baby.
Representative "Tom" Marshall, of
North Dakota, recently appeared in the
House cloak room, a telegram in one hand
and a box of cigars in the other, while a
broad smile overspread his genial countenance.
"Have one on me," he said, as he passed
the box.
"When did it arrive?" inquired Col.
Hepburn.
"Early this morning," said Marshall.
"Mother doing all right?" inquired
"Uncle Joe" Caunou, as he lighted a
fresh one.
"Fine," was the reply.
"What does it weigh ?" inquired Representative
Wadsworth.
"Sixty pounds," said Marshall.
"What are you giving us?" said "Uncle
Joe," "A sixty-pound baby? Nonsense."
"Who said baby?" indignantly replied
Marshall. "It's no baby. It's a Jersey

What He Told the Judge.
Represantative Clayton, of Alabama,
tells a story of the way a representative 1
Texas lawyer rebuffed a judge who was t
disconcerting him with questions:
"It is on S. II. Cowan, a prominent i
lawyer of the Lone Star State, and at- 1
torney for the National Cattlemen's association.
They had a judge in Texas ]
who was a terror to the lawyers. I
reckon he was something like the late
Mr. Justice Miller, for he would go at
the lawyers practicing in his court and 1
' evidently try to bowl them off their feet ;
by vigorous questioning. i
"Well, Cowan, then a young lawyer, <
, was trying a case before three judges, of ;
whom the man I have just mentioned ;
, was one. He went for Cowan severely,
and the lawyer was nearly out of the j
ring at such a bombardment of questions
from the bench.
" 'Now. don't be disconcerted by my '<
, questions, Mr. Cowan,' said this judge.
'Answer me just as you would the justice
i of the peace over in your county if you
were trying a case before him.
"At that Cowan was ready, quick as a i
flash.
"I always tell him,' said he, boldly, 'to
; keep his mouth shut.'
i "The other two judges could not refrain
from laughter at that sort of rebuff. <
" 'This judge,' remarked the chief (
, justice gravely, 'will now have to keep
his mouth shut.'"
A Remarkable Case.
One of the most remarkable cases of a
cold, deep-seated on the lungs, causing !

j Cure. She says: "The coughing and straining
so weakened me that I run down in .
| weight from 148 to 92 pounds. I tried a
I number of remedies to no avail until I
, used One Minute Cure. Four bottles of
. this wonderful remedy cured me entirely
of the cough, strengthened my lungs and

and strength." Bamberg Pharmacy.

SEYERE ATTACK OF GRIP
Cored by One Bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.
"When I bad an attack of the grip last
winter (the second one) I actually cured
myself with one bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy,'' says Frank W. Perry,
Editor of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N.
Y. "This is the honest truth, I at times
kept from coughing myself to pieces by
taking a teaspoonful of this remedy, and
when the coughing spell would come on
at night I would take a dose and it seemed
that in the briefest interval the cough
would pass off and I would go to sleep
perfectly free from cough and its accompanying
pains. To say that the remedy
acted as a most agreeable surprise is putting
it very mildly. I had no idea that it
would or could knock out the grip, simply
because I had never tried it for such a
purpose, but Jt did, and it seeded with the

The song was going well. There was I

anything, became more marked at the

It was a trifle hard for the young man,

point, a loud voice from the side of the a

It has prolonged many thousand lives as
It has Mr. and Mrs. Livingood, and there
Is no other medicine in the world whUfc
will keep the system in normal condition,
prevent the decay of the tissues, strengthen
the heart action and enrich the blood
like Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. It is an
absolutely pure stimulant and tonic, free
from fusel oil and other dangerous Ingredients
so common in most whiskies. It
cures grip, consumption, bronchitis, catarrh,
asthma, malaria and all low fevers,
dyspepsia, and invigorates the brain. It
makes the old young; keeps the young
strong. Do not fill your body full ol
drugs and medicines which poison the system.
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is the only
whiskey recognized by the Government as
a medicine. This is a guarantee. It is
absolutely pure and contains no fusel oil.
It is prescribed by over 7,000 doctors and
used exclusively in over 2,000 hospitals.
It is the only reliable and absolutely pure
stimulant and tonic. It has saved the
lives of millions of people the past fifty
years who have used it as their only
medicine.

Brooklyn Bast End Art Club.
" If women would pay more attention to
their health we would have more happy
wives, mothers and daughters, and if they
would observe results they would find
that the doctors' prescriptions do not
perform the many cures they are given
credit for.
" In consulting with my druggist he advised
McElree's Wine of Cardui and Thedford's
Black-Draught, and so I took it and
have every reason to thank him for a new
life opened up to me with restored health,
and it only took three months to cure me."
Wine of Cardui is a regulator of the
menstrual functions and is a most astonishing
tonic for women. It cures
scanty, suppressed, too frequent, irregular
and painful menstruation, falling

is helpful when approaching womanhood,
during pregnancy, after child- !

brings a dear baby to homes
that have been barren for years. All
druggists have $1.00 bottles of Wine
of Cardui.
