On account of the recent ruling of the attorney general in regard to taxes, the building and loan association has decided to wind up its affairs and discontinue business.

Baoiberg lodge, No. 38, Knights of Pythias, held an interesting meeting last Monday evening, at which the representatives to the recent session of the grand lodge made a report and exemplified the secret work to some extent. Every member of the lodge should have been present. D. Graham Copelaud, who recently won an appointment at Annapolis, has a furlough from the citadel and is spending a few days with his parents, Mr and Mrs J. D. Copeland, before leaving to take up his studies. He is a young man of great promise and Bambergians feel proud of him. The building committee for the new graded school building held a meeting last Monday afternoon and elected C. R. Brabham chairman and C. B. Free secretary. The committee are at work on the location of the building and expect to move forward as raoidlv as possibly, so that the building may be ready at the opening of the fall session of the school.

Our iuvincibles met and defeated 1 ' ? -- *L ? jrangeourg ou iue lauci a umui?uu ?. Wednesday in one of the snappiest games a if the season. In the beginning both ? earns seized the bit and rushed away * or the wire, going neck and neck for * our innings until Orangeburg scored two ? uen in the fifth on errors of Bamberg's J1 hird baseman and left fielder. This was also a session for the home c earn, and by good heavy hitting they c mnched five ruus on the score card. a Bamberg, Osteen and Steadmau each sent s he sphere out for three bags, while Hoff- a nan took second oa his long hit to right v ield. 1 The "City on the Edisto" failed to score a my more, but at intervals varying in L eiigth the locals chalked up four more c uns, thus making the score niue to two. ? Hoffman pitched a faultless game for 3amberg, yielding only two hits; one of s hese was really not a hit but slow field- * ng allowed the man to make first. Bam- * )erg's stock all during the game was ? tbove par and was selling at two to oue. J With the Guards- 1 i Nest Tuesday is the day set for inspec- j ion, and it is sincerely hoped that the \ Bamberg Guards, officially known as Co. t jr, 2nd 8. C. V. I., will make as fiue a t show as auy company in the State ( Since the reorganization under the Dick militia law, a lot of new material aas been added to our ranus, out we nope ;hat the men will be in fine shape when ;he critical period comes. The boys are < irilling every night aud show a decided j mprovement. 5 Our new kahki uniforms have arrived ] ind will be issued to the men as fast as j they return their old uniforms to the , irmory. The uew Krag-Jorgensou rifles ] that are to be issued will not arrive until , ifter inspection. We have been handi- , sapped with old model Springfield rifles, . that weigh 8 or 9 pounds for a long time, > thereby lessening the efficiency of the , ruilitia as a whole, but with the incoming ; Kragsthe militia (or National Guard) will be placed on a higher plane of usefulness , than at any time in its history. Our officers are looking more to the needs and wants of the men than ever before. There are already being planned, J beside the encampment at the Isle of Palms this summer, numerous picnics, dress parades, prize drill contests, and other things too numerous to mention. It has not been fully decided yet whether there will be a banquet after inspection or not. W. C. P. Ehrhardt Etchiugs.

St. Johns, Ma)' 25.?The crops iu our section are looking better this week than ever before this year. The picnic at Mt. Pleasant was well represented from all parts of the country, aud we suppose it was enjoyed by all who attended. There was plenty of diuuer, and lemonade by the barrel. The Kearse baseball team crossed bats with Oak Grove. The score was 21 to 1 iu favor of Kearse. There was a sociable given at Mr. E. F. Kinard's last Thursday night, which was well attended aud greatly enjoyed by all. Mr. E. F. Kinard and two of his sons attended the reunion of old soldiers in Columbia last week. The Sunday-school picnic at St. Johns will be ou the third of July. Everybody is cordially invited, aud bring all your friends. A big time is expected. Miss Lula O'Quinn is spending a few weeks with Misses Ida and Urbauua Kinard, of this section. Last Thursday while Messrs. B. W. aud X.. W. Shaw were attending the picnic, some thief broke into the room where they kept their groceries and took therefrom a quantity of sugar, flour, and some other articles. The parties have not been caught as yet. "You shall never leave this house until you pay me what you owe me," shouted the irate landlord. "All right," said the boarder, "justyou put that in writing and I will sign it." n w Come to see me wf Stc G. F NO NEED OF ORANGE BLOSSOMS. The Groom, a Florida Man, Happy in the Possession of a South Carolina Lily Bamberg, May 20.?This morning at , 9.30 oclock, at the residence of the bride, Miss Allie Jennings, daughter of Mr. G. ( A. Jennings of this city, and Mr. J. D. O'Leru, of St. Augustine, Fla., were unit- ] ed in the holy bonds of matrimony, the ceremony being peformed by the Rev. M. j W. Hook, pastor of the Methodist Episco- j pal church here. Only the immediate j mnmhiiM ?-?f tlim firi/1were nres- > H IVU.Ul,^... J , eut. This wedding came quite as a surprise to the many friends of the parties here. For some years Miss Jennings has been one of the leaders of Bamberg's most exclusive society set, aud has won for herself friends in every walk of life. Naturally beautiful, her tact, generosity and vivid personality have endeared her to the many who were fortunate in claiming her friendship. The good wishes of her legion of friends go with her to her new home, and while her friends bid her goodbye with sadness, knowing that her place cannot be tilled, it is with the assurance that her welcome will be warm, and her visits to her old home always a source of delight to those who know her. Mr. O'Hern, while fortunate in winning one of the fairest flowers in our rosebud gardeu of beautiful girls, is himself a young man of sterling worth, and ? a most excelleut gentleman. He comes j af sturdy stock, of a well known and old ^ family of St. Augustine, Fla. He is travel- ^ ing agent for Christian, Keeper & "Co., g 3t. Louis, Mo., and while naturally his ^ visits here have been short, they have t>een frequent, and he has made many friends. g The bride and groom left on the 10.30 t ;rain for Jacksonville, Fla., which will 3e their home for some time to come. ? The good wishes of the town, the jommunity and of the many friends of g ;he bride throughout the State go wun j( ,hem, wishing them a life of peace, ^ lappiness aud prosperity, and all the ^ jood things which should come to so popular a young couple, beginning life ^ with a future so promising.?W. P. M. in ? Columbia State. -h * h Bold Attempt at Robbery. a Some excitement was created in town 0 ast Monday about twelve o'clock when 8 he news came here that a negro had obbed the house of Mr. Nathan Padgett, * ind had also iusulted his wife, and that j? )lood hounds were wanted to trail him. dr. Padgett lives out on the Ehrhardt 81 dace, about four miles from town on the jj Buford's Bridge road, and several from " lere left for the scene of the trouble at 0 nee, among them being Supervisor E. C. n Bruce, who carried one of Sheriff Hunter's lood hounds. The facts we were able to get from him u regard to the matter are that Mr. Pad;ett was at work out in front of the house, .bout two hundred yards away, and that H Irs. Padgett had been out in the garden ^ n rear of the house, gathering vegetables " or dinner. She was out some time and S n her return went into the kitchen aud Cl leard some noise in the front part of the 0 louse. Thinking it was a dog she called >ut and to her great surprise a negro ran a >ut by her, carrying her husband's gun, P md as he passed struck her lightly on the hunlHpr with a stink or his hand, saving is he did so that if she told on him he ? vould kill her. Of course she was very a uuch frightened and called her husband it once. The negro did not stop but ran >n out through the garden, at the comer J? >f the fence of which he dropped the gun, t( joing away erapty-hauded. The neighbors at once gathered and earch was made for the scoundrel, but " le had made good his escape. The blood lound could not take up the trail either, V is so many persons had walked over the 1 legro's tracks before she was put on it. n The lady says the negro was a stranger o her, but she noticed that he was a ** nulatto and wore a light shirt. If caught J* le will no doubt be severely dealt with, ? :or our women must be protected, and " he only way is to make an example of e he guilty ones who forget the fate meted ? )ut in the"past. 1 A Trip to Orangeburg. It was our good fortune last week to spend a few days in the hustling and pro- t jressive city of Orangeburg, in attendance upon the sessions of the grand lodge Knights of Pythias, as a representative from Bamberg lodge, No. 38. While there ^ we were delightfully entertained in the ^ Mine of J. A. Berry, Esq., a rising young ittorney of that city, and it was also our t pleasure to meet many of our old friends, among whom were Editors Parks and : Sims, and Col. W. G. Smith, as well as many others from various parts of the t State. The session of the grand lodge was a most harmonious one, and the proceedings were characterized by the utmost ^ pleasantness. J. M. Knight, of Sumter, was elected grand chancellor; J. A. Summersett, of Columbia, grand vice chancellor; B. A. j Morgan, of Greenville, grand prelate; J. c A. Berry, of Orangeburg, grand master at arms; G. W. Reeves, of Branchville, grand inner guard; M. H. Witt, of New < Brookland, grand outer guard; J. H. ' Thorn well, of Fort Mill, grand keeper of records and seal; Wilson G. Harvey, Jr., of Charleston, grand master of exchequer; M. L. Bonham, of Anderson, supreme representative. Maj. Havelock Eaves, a member of Bamberg lodge, was re-ap- { pointed chairman of the ways and means committee, a position which he has filled with credit for two years. Orangeburg certainly did herself proud ( in her entertainment of th? visitors. It seemed that each and every citizen of the town took an interest in the visitors and endeavored to make them enjoy their stay. A banquet was tendered on Wednesday evening, served by the daughters of the Confederacy for the purpose of raising funds for the monument to General Wade Hampton. It was a magnificent affair. Col. W. G. Smith acted as master of ceremonies, and there were over four hundred guests seated at the tables. Eloquent speeches were made by Speaker M. L. Smith, of Camden; Maj. H. Frank Wilson, of Sumter, Governor D. C. Heyward, and others. We could hardly realize the town as the same, so different was it from a few years ago. We candidly believe no town in the State has mader greater progress. New and haudsomebuildings?residences, business houses, etc , are to be seen on every hand. And still the good work I goes on. The finest kind of roads have also been built in some places, and we understand this work is to gather larger proportions in the near future. Certainly our friends there have just cause to be proud of the wonderful growth and progress of their city aloug all lines.

Knight, Editor The Bamberg Herald?Dear Sir: The Herald has been a most welcomed messenger since my arrival here. Have been so much on the go that I have not had time to write. My last was to the County Times, and now I ;lrop you a few lines.* In my last I gave i sketch of my trip as far as to the Sabine River, where I passed over into this great Empire State. A short run and we are in :he famous oil fields of Beaumont, but ;hey are not situated near tfte railroad, Deing some distance South of where we massed. Yet the entire atmosuhere is iin pregnated with the oil, and oil is the ;heme, and great quantities are to be seen u large tanks, in transit on the railroads. The large rice fields are interesting to ook upon; this entire Gulf shore for hunIreds of miles is rapidly becoming the nost suitable place for the growth of rice lince machinery can be used to such great id vantage, both in the cultivation and gathering of the grain. Sugar cane (the ibbon) is extensively grown, and you are :onstantly passing through great fields, t is quite a novel sight to see the plownen as they go in great companies coning and returning to their labor over these troad fields. Steam tram roads are used o carry the cane to the large steam mills, i Not until we reached the high rolling lills, a dividing ridge betweeu the Coloado and the great Guadaloupe rivers, do rou come into a very desirable farming ountry. Here you find the Germans and iohemians have settled. They are good armers, do thorough work; neat and tandsome cottages are to be seen on all : ides. By far the beU corn and cotton i ields that I have yet seen. But the entire South, as far as I have lassed over, is very backward this year, ,nd especially the great river valleys of his State, owing to excessive rains durng the latter months of winter, and folowed by a long cold spring. The farmers re yet planting their cotton, but about nished, now cutting out to a stand, and joking very well, good healthy color, and f it were not for the boll weevil, which a3 of later years been very disastrous to he cotton crop in this section, there would e great prospects for a large crop here, lut the future is doubtful. The corn is ndeed beautiful, and as you reach the igher elevations or tne estate, tne oats nd wheat crops are doing well, and the utlook is favorable for a good crop of mall grain. But let me drop one word for old Gonales, the home of my early days. Here I rst went to school, and the college walls rom whence I graduated in 1860 are still Landing, but have been remodeled into a andsome private residence. My old home as also been greatly changed, yet the old ak that stood near the window where the locking birds used to sing still remains. "Oh! woodman, spare that tree, Touch not a single bough, In youth it sheltered me, And I'll protect it now." I was glad to see that something had 'ithstooa the "wreck of matter and the rush of worlds." For truly it does seem lat the last half century has wrought such reat changes that we now behold a new reation. No longer do we see great droves f horses nor hear the tinkling bells of " >wing herds, winding their way over hills nd through the woods to their resting I laces at the close of day. But in their I ;ead you see the cotton mills, electric | nrmAo on/1 oil thinnn. guts auu nabti n uuu ma* vuv ations, conveniences and comforts of lodern times. But few of the old houses are now ;anding. All are new, many magnificent , uildihgs, both public and private. But I >und no difficulty in finding my way, for 'hen a boy I had followed my father, the i urveyor, who at that time had much to do J 1 the plan and survey of this city. Its treets, even at that early period, were exjnded far out into the country. Little did J think that I should ever see them as they ow appear. I need not say that I am enjoying my lip and in good health. I hope soon to e with you all again. Expect to leave 1 ere about the 27th instant, and reach ome about the last of this month, as I xpect to stop a few days in Alabama n my way back. Kind regards to all my riends. L. N.

For many years it has been supposed that Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Repeated attacks of indigestion Inflames the mucous membranes lining the stomach and exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus causing the glands to secrete mucin instead of the juices of natural digestion. This U called Catarrh of the Stomach. Kodol Dvsoensia Care ? mm ?' relieves all inflammation of the mucous membranes lining the stomach, protects the nerves, and cures bad breath, sour risings, a sense of fullness after eating, indigestion, dyspepsia and all stomach troubles.
