An appeal in the case is pending iu the Supreme Court. Gen. Bamberg's condition continues to improve, and bis many menus irusi u will not be long before he is able to be up. He is slowly regaining the use of his left limb and arm which were completely paralyzed, and the best is now hoped for. He is bright and cheerful, and this in itself is a very good indication. rs Governor D. C. Heyward has appointed Gen. Wilie Jones, of Columbia, as a member of the State board of dispensary directors, to succeed the late A. F. H. r- 'Dukes, of Branchville. It is said that i Gen. Jones was not a candidate for the position, and will only hold it until the legislature meets m Januaiy. A petition will be circulated in a few days, asking that the merchants close their stores at six o'clock during the summer months so as to give the clerks some time for recreation. We hope every merc chant in town will agree to close, for all must sign for the movement to be carried out. No one will lose anything by it. > It is not likely that there will be a July fterm of court here, if it is possible for it to be avoided. Of course whether a term of court is held or not will depend on the amount of busiuess to be transacted, but if there is nothing important to be tried at that term, it is probable that we will - T?i TK o roocAri ic that | Hot U&Yt/ 21 U lliy l/UUI l>? ?

Last Sunday afternoon, at the home ' of the bride's parents in this city, Miss Annie Bruce, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. II. Bruce, and Mr. Hebron Berry, of Branchville, were happily married. The ceremony look place at half < past one o'clock, and Rev. M. W. Hook, pastor of the Methodist church here, was i the officiating minister. The marriage was a quiet one, only the relatives and a I few friends of the family being present. After the marriage a magnificent dinner was enjoyed by the invited guests. The young couple left ou the afternoon train for Brauchville, where they will make their future home. The bride has been connected with this newspaper for the past year, and we have sustained the loss of a valuable member of our force. We think Mr. Berry is to be congratulated on his choice of a helpmeet, and we, in common with their other friends, extend sincere congratulations and good wishes. The groom is one of Branchvilie's young merchants, and is succeeding nicely. Those present at the marriage were: Mr. P. E- Bruee. Augusta; Messrs. - Hammond, Prank and Robert Bruce, Thos.

Mrs. Lizzie Kinard, wife of Mr. Adam Kinard, who lives about two miles below town, died at their home last Thursday morning about four o'clock. Her death was quite a surprise, as she had only been sick a few days. Mrs. Kinard was fifty-two years old, and was the third wife of Mr. Ivinard. Her husband ami three children, all girls, survive her. The body was carried to Smoaks Cross Roads Friday and laid to rest there in the afternoon of that day. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. H. Stoudeumire, the pastor. The deceased lauy was a member of the Baptist church and a consistent Christian. She will be sadly missed by the husband and children, aud their friends extend sympathy iu this hour of sorrow. Municipal A flairs. Pursuant to the notice in this newspaper i last week, calling for a mass meeting of < the voters of the town to be held in the 1 town hall last Monday afternoon at live < o'clock, a number of gentlemen met at t the time appointed. We suppose between s thirty-five and forty were present. No { action was taken, however, it being the i opinion of those present that the number s was not large enough to nominate a mayor c and aldermen, as it might give rise to t dissatisfaction on the ground that the | meeting was not a representative one. 1 The election is to be held next Tuesday, I and it is every man's privilege to turn out c and vote for the men whom he thinks 1 well best till these offices. As we under- I staud the situation, there are two an- v nounced candidates for mayor: Messrs. D. t J. Delk and S. W. Johnson, and not a a single candidate for aldermen. In the 1' absence of any concerted action as to a aldermen, we presume every man will L go and vote for the men he wants and a those receiving the highest number of a votes will be the aldermen for the next h two years. With only two candidates for mayor, one is bouud to receive a majority g of the votes cast. We have heard several e ** ?

Last Friday was the day set apart by ihe Rivers' Bridge Memorial Association rs memorial day, when they would meet :o commemorate the heroism of the gallant confederate dead, some of whom lie sleeping in the cemetery on the memorial grounds. No braver soldiers folowed the starry cross than those patriotic souls who volunteered from this secion of old Barnwell county, and the same ;pirit of devotion to patriotism and principle has prompted the custom of nemorial day. With hearts full of loyilty to those who fought and bled and lied for their country's sake, each year hoc*. I .Mr 511 it tionnlp meet to strew the "l"v '"""O - graves with flowers and to hear from the ips of eloquent speakers the story of a irave fight made by soldiers who feared leath less than dishonor. Handicapped >y many obstacles the people of the divers' Bridge section have pressed forward in this work of love until to-day his memorial day is accounted the largest ,nd most important gathering in the 1 ower part of the State. Some of the 1 blest men South Carolina has produced lave been the speakers on these occasions, 1 nd to be invited as one of the orators on ! lemorial day at Rivers' Bridge is an 1 onor to be held in high esteem. Sad to say, however, some of those who ather there each year do not seem to uter into the spirit of the day, but take J t rather as a day of recreation and pleas- ' re. Let us hope that this idea will be ' ispelled, and that there will hereafter be lore of the true spirit of memorial day J hown. 1 The day was a beautiful one, and as 1 sual there was an immense crowd of eople present, from Bamberg, Barnwell, * lamptou, Colleton, and other counties. 1 tefore the exercises were commenced . lie Association held a business meeting, 1 t which Capt. J. C. McMillan, who has 1 erved faithfully as president for the past :>ur years, tendered his resignation. Dr. ? r. F. Kirkland, Sr., than whom there is ( o grander character, was unanimously s lected president for the ensuing two ears. Capt. McMillan has served the Lssociation ably and well, and Dr. Kirkmd only takes up again the work which 1 ; near his heart?for the cause he loves so a ~ ? ell?for we believe he was the nrst presi- i ent the Association ever had. Capt. \y. 1 !. Sease and Mr. J. J. Copeland were f lected vice-presidents; Capt. J. W. Jenny, i jcretary; Mr. J. F. Kearse, Sr., treaurer; r ad Rev. S. P. Cbisholm, chaplain. A v ew executive committee was also elected, t at we failed to get all the names. t The memorial exercises were begun by f song by the choir, then Chaplain Chis- g olm offered a fervent prayer, after which resident McMillan made a short bat very t Impropriate and timely address, at the t ose of which he introduced Hon. A. F. e ever, Congressman from the second dis- I ict, as the first orator of the day. After t trr. Lever's address there was another g mg, and Rev. E. W. Peeple9, the elo- s uent and beloved pastor of St. John's v aptist church, wa9 introduced. No f -uopsis would do justice to either n meaker. The speeches of both were in- t ?ed fitting to the occasion?one a grey t< tired Confederate soldier, and the other c ie son of a man who folio ved the flag P II it went down at Appomattox?beauti- f( illy illustrating the truth that the same p >irit which induced the fathers to lay c mwn their lives for their country's sake fi ill lives in the breasts of the young men s< ' to-day. a After the exercises the graves were tl mcorated with beautiful flowers brought tl the tender women, and it was especi- tl ly noticeable to us that there was a b - r a I U. H ucii greater quantity 01 nowers uruugut " ian ever before. t< Then dinner was announced, and a o jarty and generous hospitality was dis- a msed by these whole-souled people to o 1, even the stranger within the gates. " one were overlooked, but all were tl ndly and generously cared for. b After dinner social conversation and a t meral mingling of the people was in C rder, until a little after four o'clock, tl hen many who came from a distance a ?gan to leave for their homes. u Only one unpleasant feature marred the fi ly. About dinner time a row took place S 1 the lower edge of the grounds. It H ems from the best information we could n ither that two men, named Barnes and r ill, got into a fight, in which Till was t! ightly cut on the throat and face. Then n agistrale J. C. Copelaad and his con- s able, Mr. Johns, went to arrest Barnes * stop the tight, and Barnes cut them P >th. Magistrate Copelaud was cut on the b ft thigh and Johns in the right thigh b id on the cheek. Barnes was badly beat tl p in the melee, but made his escape, o ;veral physicians were on the grounds & id they dressed the wounds, all of which b ere slight, none of them being at all tl rious. It was a very regrettable affair, f id it is extremely fortunate that no one a as killed or seriously hurt. We do not n aow the origin of the trouble, but are C raid liquor was largely responsible for . In fact there was too much whiskey v loat anyway. Numbers of men, while ti ley were not drunk, were drinking, t ore so we think than at any previous u ithering. This is lamentable, and we uly deplore it. Until last year these v itherings bad been much disturbed by a looting down iu the swamp, but last f ?ar the Association decided to break it n p, which they effectually did. Now if ley can stop drinking, they will have t jne a good work.

Wofford College, Spartanburg, April 25.?Wofl'ord's baseball team bas been able to record three victories to her credit within the past ten days. On the seventeeuthof this month we met Erskine. The tirst few innings of this game were real interesting, but towards the eud of the game Wofford piled up a large number of runs and before Erskine realized where she was at, the game was over and she was defeated by the score of 12 to 2. A more interesting game was played on the twentieth with Wake Forest. The score was close, and until the very last it was not certain as to who the victor would be. But hard work on the part of Wofford gave them a lead of one run ? % 1 -.1 1 * 4 k/. ^ WlIlCll Stifc lieia inrougiiuui mc game, winning by a score of 2 to 1. On last Friday Newberry was beaten by a score of 5 to 3. This game, while not as fast as some of the previous games, was not by an)' means a poor exhibition of baseball. Durant played star ball, striking out thirteen men and yielding only four hits; his record is certainly a fine one. He has pitched six games this season, has allowed twenty-live hits, struck out about thirty-9ix men. Along with this pitching Wofford's team has made thirty-seven runs and ha9 been scored against eleven times. We think no team in this State can show a better record. Next week comes the exciting times. Dn Wednesday, the 29th, Wofford meets tier old time rival, South Carolina; on :he 30th, Charleston College; on the 1st 3f May the battle royal with Clemson College. These games are during the Music Festival, and the crowds which fvill witness them will be large and en;husiastic ones.

The Citadel, Charleston, April 26.? The baseball season is still in progress md the excellent series of games does not ail to attract large crowds. The league las been a great success, and has done nuch towards the advancement of the nterest of the different teams. Up until iow the W. L. I. has the record, having von three games out of three; then comes he cadets with a record of two out of hree. These two teams meet for the irst time next Saturday and uo doubt the ;ame will be a beautiful one. The cadets added one more victory to heir list last Saturday afternoon, when he C. L. Dragoons were defeated in an xciting game by a score of 11 to 9. The Ira^oons have an excellent team and be Dragoons scored three men and had winning margin of one. The ninth was shered in brightly for the Cadets, the rst three men up having gotten base hits. Tow it was that the Cadets jumped on the )ragoons, took them for a ripe, juicy lelon and trimmed them for a trio of uns. The Dragoons failed to connect in beir half and three more of the *'cits" lade circles as Mcllwinen's puzzlers plit the air.

It is maintained by many distinguished writers that the greatness of a nation depends much upon the physical condition of its women. The general conditions which contribute to health and long life, are those which do not imply a rapid and unequal exhaustion of those powers by which life is maintained. While we assert that the women of our land stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that ? make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact 1 that there are thousands in our midst who, owing to overwork, worry, household cares, and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debilitated.

Thousands of healthy women around us owe their present vigor, activity, and robustness to Paine's Celery Compound. Mrs. Stephen Smith, St. Paul, Minn., tells how she was snatched from the grave; she says:? 441 had a bad attack of la grippe this spring and was at death's door, and no one ever expected me to recover. I was so weak that as soon as they brought me out of one faint I was in another. I could not take any nourishment, and doctors' medicines did me no good. A friend advised my husband to get me a bottle of Paine's Celery Compound, which he did, but had no faith in it. The second day after taking the Compound, I began to get real hungry and took an interest in things. I had everything that money and loving care could supply, and with that and Paine's Celery Compound, I am now doing my own work, while three months ago I was almost in the grave. I know that I owe my health and strength to Raine's Celery Compound, and shall always recommend it." no need of jf soiling the L hands with Diamond Dyes They att easy to use, and are made for home use and home economy.
