It is an old saying that "too many cooks spoil the broth," and it looks like Tillman's attorneys are going to do him up with their affidavits. * * * City council should either enforce the ordinances of the towu or repeal them.

We are not prone to giving advice to the farmers as to whether to sell or hold cotton, bat we would advise them to sell their crops at the present high prices if they can.. The staple is not likely to be worth as much this fall. *** J. H. Tillman gets a change of venue, and the case is to be tried ia Lexington county in September. However, there is no certainty that the case will come to < . trial theu, as the defense may get another continuance. It seems to be easy enough for Tillman's attorneys to make affidavits. *** Newspapers are no better nor no worse * than the communities in which they are published. In fact, the progressiveness, _ morality and sentiment of any community is generally reflected by its newspaper, & and as a rule it is safe to judge a town by I the kind of sheet it supports. The Bamberg Herald will be four years old on the 1st of next month. It is an excellent paper, well edited and typographically reflects credit on the printers and pressman. The people of Bamberg county should liberally patronize Brother Knight?Hampton Guardian. We thank Brother McSweeney for his very kind expressions. However, he is in i error on one point.

The protracted meeting at Hunter's M Chapel will begin next Saturday, and will continue several days in the following week. We have learned that Rev. M. L. Lawson, of Bamberg, is expected to help Rev. S. P. Hair with this meeting. The protracted meeting at Zion will be held the third Sunday and the following week in July. P Several of our young men went to Oak Grove Saturday afternoon to see a game - ~ of baseball between Kearse and that team, but on account of the rain the game was ' not played. Mr. D. N. Rhoad and family visited relatives at Oak Grove Sundav. Mr. Hammond Carter, of Ehrhardt, was in town Sunday. Mr. Williams Carter and Miss Arrie Hiers, of Ehrhardt, visited at Mr. J. H. Fender's last week. Prayei<-meeting was conducted Sunday night by Mr. S. F. Berry. Miss Florine Rhode in some way got her face poisoned, and for the past few days has been unable to see. Master Clifton Rhoad has been spending time w'th his aunt, Mrs. J. H. A. P Carter, near Ehrhardt. J. W. R. The Norway Assination. Norway, June 30.?Up to this this hour there seems to be no material development in the murder of John T. Phillips. They have five negroes under arrest, but ho positive proof on either as to whether they or any of them had anything to do with the murder. It is generally thought, and there isgood circumstantial evidence, that one of the negroes now under arrest was the man that committed the horrible act. This man is Charley Evans, one of the negroes that the Phillips's had a little trouble with last Saturday afternoon. He is a man of bad character, and a very gritty one. The other four, as it is thought, are accessories to the crime, and know all about it. None of them has made a confession, but assert their innocence. A Fatal Accident. The Charleston Post of last Thursday says: "Rev. Dr. James A. B. Scberer, pastor of St. Andrew's Lutheran church, has gone to Lauringburg, N. C., on the sad mission of attending the funeral of his mother, Mrs. Harriet I. Scherer. Advices received here state that she fell out of a second story window of her home, causing injuries which resulted in her death Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Scherer was known in Charleston, and for this reason, as well as on account of Dr. BCUerer, rnucn regrei is ien nere at uer untimely death." Dr. Scherer has many friends in this county who sympathize deeply with him in his sad bereavement. When Has the Like Been Seen? We have been so accustomed to our retiring executive officers "flagging political trains for passage to other honors" that the modesty of ex-Governor McSweeney is very restful indeed.* . * The prevailing trait of greatness in this self-made character need not to be heralded, it shines with high spiritual light and though he is "lost to sight" his service to the State is "to memory dear." Mr. McSweeney in political as well as private life preserved an individuality , that honors did not sway and he stepped J from the executive chair into the retirement of his home as the same "little Mr. Mc." whom we knew years ago as editor of the Hampton Guardian. This simplicity, in view of our government is equivalent to greatness, we at- , tach iusignias of honor in the republican . way, to be worn as character, not on the ( person fixed to golden belts aud ribbons. | ft is the richest jewel embraced by a laurel crown! Tn conclusion let me sav: I have em ployed the most delicate brush of praise, 1 to, at the same time, use oue of justice, 1 yet the uncharitable may see gross strokes of "flattery," to those I add a thought: ' I cull flowers for the living, let those 1 who prefer gather them for the dead.

Phillips, white, was sitting down eating supper with his family when some unknown party shot through the window hitting him in the back of the head and shooting out his brains. The shot also hit two of his children, a small girl about 9 years old and a little boy about 11. Mr. Phillips was a highly respected white man of this towu. Last Saturday evening he and two of his sons had some trouble with some negroes but nothing of a character to provoke such a deed. Cholera Infantum. This has long been regarded as one of the most dangerous aud fatal .diseases to which infants are subject. It can be cured, however, when properly 1 reated. All that is necessary is to give Chamberlain's colic, cholera and diarrhoea remedy aud castor oil, as directed with each bottle, and a cure is certain. Sold by Bamberg Pharmacy. Pointed Paragraphs.

Charity is a cloak that covers a multitude of amateur theatrical performances. When a man thirsts for knowledge, he isn't necessarily dry in his remarks. All men are born equal, but some grow up and become presidents or baseball umpires. Sometimes a man makes a fool of himself because his wife lets him have his own way. Wise is the man who can recall a previous engagement, when he receives a disagreeable invitation. There wouldn't be much room at the top if those who reach it were half as big as they think they are. If a man or a machine is unable to accomplish a task, it should be turned over to a woman with a hairpin. Brutally Tortured. A case came to light that for persistent and unmerciful torture has perhaps never been equalled. Joe Golobick, of Colusa, Cal., writes. "For 15 years I eudured insufferable pain from rheumatism and noth ing relieved me though I tried everything known. I came across Electric Bitters and it's the greatest medicine on eart h for that trouble. A few bottles of it completely relieved and cured me."

Do we practice what we preach ? I should say that we are not in favor of good roads, judging by the condition of our roads at present. A great many parts of the public roads have not had a lick of work this year. These roads are traveled almost every day by men whose duty it is to work tkeni. yet they are neglected, and more than that the officers who are to see that the overseers are doing their duty are off duty also. The good roads spirit will have most of Bamberg county to canvass before good roads will be sung by all. I am in hopes that it is not as bad as it seems, but I fear it is really worse than it seems. Next year will be another year for the campaign blooms; then we will make good roads as we have heretofore?only for a season. Weliketobear good roads talk, and wish you all the pleasure of seeing them. This is all I have to say about the road question now, but will look for something from some one else about them. Hartzog, June 29, 190J. R. What it Cost* Richland. Columbia, S. C., June 26.?The trial of the Tillman case in Columbia would have cost the county about $3,500, but it is estimated that the transfer to Lexington will run up the bill in the neighborhood of $0,000. It has cost the county clready about $500. The case will not cost Lexington a cent, as it ought not to. Richland will have to pay all witnesses', jurors' and constables' fees?in fact, every item of expense connected with it. Over a thousand dollars will be saved by not taking it to Saluda. The figures given are only for one trial, and if the case has to be tried more than once, as many people anticipate it will be, the fiual cost becomes guess work. A great majority of those who signed the affidavits saying that a change of venue ought to be had, it is said, are not taxpayers, and they will bear noue of the burdeu.

"These terrible floods out in Kansas make me think of a story my father used to tell of the early days in a western settlement," reminiscenced the oldest inhabitant. "Pa said once in his colony the crops were sufferiu' from a long dry spell, till it looked like the corn and wheat wouldn't be knee high to a grass-bopper when the time came for harvestin'. At last things got so the Methodist preacher, a lively little chap, got his people together for a protracted prayer meetiu' to ask for rain. They prayed powerful hard, and after a few days the rain sure enough come, hut not iu the shape they were hopin' for, but a genuine cloudburst, rip roarin' and ragin' aud sweepiu' everything loose, and most things that were supposed to be fast, before it.

Very Remarkable Cure of Diarrhea. "About six vears airo for the first time in my life 1 had a sudden and severe attack of diarrhoea," says Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas. "I got temporary relief, hut it came back again and again, and for six long years 1 have suffered more misery and agony than I can tell. It was worse than death. My husband spent hundreds of dollars for physicians' prescriptions and treatment without avail. Finally we moved to Bosque county,our present home and one day I happened to see an advertisement of Chamberlain's colic, cholera, and diarrhoea remedy with a testimonial of a man who had been cured by it. The case was so similiarto my own that I concluded to try the remedy. The result was wonderful. I could hardly realize that I was well again, or believe it could be so after having suffered so, but that bottle of medicine, costing a few cents, cured me." For sale by Bamberg Pharmacy. Modern Pulpit Methods. In a San Jose (Cal.) paper the following "reading" advertisement was recently noticed, inserted by the pastor of a Presbyterian church at that place: FOUND ASLEEP.?So you slept in church yesterday, did you ? Well, it was rather a drowsy day, but if you had been at the Second Presbyterian church you wouldn't have dozed. The pastor preached two earnest, enthusiastic sermous, and the music was alive and inspiring. Mrs. Hillman Smith sang that old favorite, "The Holy City," to the enjoyment of all, and the chorus choir rendered two anthems. The cougregatitfu was uearly as large as the church itself. Au olatimer there looked around and remarked to a bystander: "Well, I declare, I thought I knew every one who came to this church, but the last few weeks I don't seem to know more than half of them." Just About Bedtime take a little early riser?it will cure con-1 stipation, biliousness and liver troubles. DeWitt's little early risers are different from other pills. They do not gripe and break down the mucous membranes of the stomach, liver and bowels, but cure by gently arousing the secretions and giving strength to the organs.

A warm game of ball was played by two negro teams on the Spain plantation six miles in the country this afternoon, which required a doctor to be called in to repair the damages. One of the base runners attempted to steal second base, when a member of the other team tilled him with bird shot. Later one of the players was not pleased with a decision of the umpire and shot him.
