railroad in front of his residence, when
P* one of his feet caught and threw him to
the ground, breaking, or dislocating, his

The summer school for the white
teachers of this county convenes next
Mouday at the Carlisle Fitting School in
this city, with Mr. C. R. Calhoun and Miss

a large saw mill, Mrs. Adams having
rented out her house on Railroad Avenue.
Fori Sale.?One GO-saw Pratt gin, good

Owing to the liberality and public
spirit of several of our citizens, a lyceum
course has been organized here for the
coming season. There will be live attractions,
and they are all good ones. There
are several good lecturers and musical
organizations among the attractions engaged,
and we feel sure our people will
be pleased with the course selected.
Orangeburg's second nine came over
this (Wednesday) morning fortwogames
with Bamberg's second team. One game
was to be played this morning and one
this afteruoou, but as the train was late
the Orangeburg boys did not arrive in
time to play this moruiug. This afternoou's
game will be called at live o'clock,
and announcements as to future games
will no doubt be made at the park thi6
afternoon. I
Mr. W. E. Willis.formerly Head Master s
of the Carlisle Fitting School, spent 1
several days in the city last and this week. *
Mr. Willis has been taking a special 1
course at Vanderbilt University, Nashville,
Tenn., during the past two years. s
He will not go as a missionary to China, c
as was announced a few weeks ago, but r
will be one of the faculty in a high-grade v
boarding school for boys in Tennessee 1
next year. Mr. Willis was in Bamberg 1
for the purpose of organizing a lyceuni c
course, and we are glad to say he was 1
successful. f
G. Frank Bamberg guarantees every t
buggy and wagon that he sells. ,
We understand that the New Bridge E
road is soon to be put in first-class condition
ou both sides of the river. Our in- ^
formation is that contracts for the work ^
on the Orangeburg side have already been v
given out, and work will commence at an s
early date. Several of our citizens have a
been approached by parties from the oth- c
er side and asked whether Bamberg would E
put her part of the road in good condition f
as well, and they were assured that Bam- s
berg would certainly do so in case the
other side should be fixed. This is a mis- v
erable piece of road, and we do trust that a
the work will be done, and that rigtit a
speedily, for this highway is one of Bam- f
berg's most important outlets. It is pos- v
sible that part of the $2,000 appropriated t
by city council will be used for this pur- i
pose, and it could not be spent better. Let f
the good roads movement go on, and let's v
have less talk and more work. t
Fire Last Week. *
Wednesday night of last week the large d
barn and stables of Clerk of Court C. B. t
Free, about one mile from towu, caught a
on fire and was burned to the ground, ?
The fire was discovered about half past t
ten o'clock, and it burned so rapidly that (
but little could be done to save the con- ?
tents of the building, the efforts of those c
who gathered being mainly directed to- c
wards protecting the dwelliug and buggy t
bouse, both of which were only saved by
the hardest kiutfof work. It is not known i
how the fire originated, but as Mr. Free e
is exceedingly popular and has no known ?
enemies, it must have been accidental.
The bam was a large two-story wooden i
structure; and the upper story was filled s
with corn, fodder, oats, forage, etc., which >
was all destroyed. The lower story con- ?
tained live stock, and three fine mules ?
and Mr. Free's saddle horse were burned, a
it being impossible to rescue them. (
Mr. Free's loss is at least $2,000 or >
more, and he had only $1,000 insurance. ?
He lost 800 bushels of com, and the loss ?
of his mules cripples him badly in the s
cultivation of his crop. However, his a
neighbors and friends have been exceed- ?
ingly kind in letting him have stock and ?
feed, and he says he will, on account of ?
this, be able to lay by bis crop in nice i
shape. ?
Mr. Free wishes us to extend to all his f
friends, both white and colored, his heartfelt
thanks for services rendered during
and since the tire. Several colored men
worked until nearly four o'clock in the n
morning saving what they could from the j
flames.
For the Most Handsome Young Lady, s
Another voting contest has been sue- ?
cessfully closed at the Bamberg Phar- f
macy. Great interest was takeu in this contest,"for
it was to decide who is the most *
handsome young lady or young man in
Bamberg. Of course every fellow believed
his girl to be just that very thing, and J
accordingly cast his vote for her. Miss
Ethel Folk came out ahead however, and J
Miss Marie Stokes was a close second.
Mr. A. M. Brabham was the winner
among the youug men. Mr. V. W. Brabham

BASEBALL IN ORANttEBURtf.
Bamberg's Team Play Faster Ball
but Lose Both blames.
Last week four games of baseball were
scheduled to take place between the Bamberg
and Orangeburg teams, two to be
played in Bamberg and two in the city on
ihe Edisto. Monday afternoon's game
aere was not tiuished on account of rain,
ind Tuesday Bamberg won by a score of
' "* * - ^ ^ mnrn i n fr T ,q uo 1
LI III U. UU IT CUUESua| uiviuiug uuiu., .
:>ne of our pitchers, left us and went to
Dordele, Ga. Hoffman was badly used
ap with a sprained aukle and Brabham
D. was also disabled and could not play.
However, the management wanted to
seep faith with Orangeburg and carried
he team over on a special train Thursday
ifteruoou. A pitcher was expected but
lid not couie, aud Hoffman, crippled so
hat he could not run three feet, had to
jo in the box, and other substitute players
had to be found after getting on the
jrouuds.
The writer was not at all pleased with
he decisions of Orangeburg's umpire here
n Monday and Tuesday's games, and
leard many of our home people and visiors
from Orangeburg even criticize him. '
Therefore, wishing to avoid friction if
lossible, we went iu person on Wedneslay
to the management of our team and
mdeavored to have a change of umpires
or the two remainiug games, one from a
leutral towu. This was not possible for
Thursday's game, and on Friday, after
aiu efforts to secure the services of a '
gentleman from Blackville, Mr. C. J.
)avis, of Fitzgerald, Ga.. was carried over
>y our boys. But the Orangeburg team
aid they would not play unless Jeffords
impired, so the best we could do was to
vork the double umpire system. Even 1
hen at a close stage of the game, while
Jeffords was umpiring at the pitcher's
taud aud Davis the base ruuniug, Jeff?rds
called Norvell out at second for
unuiug past Brabham, who was on third, '
vheu a foul was knocked, and it seemed (
o take considerable showing of the rules
o him by our players to induce him to
hange it. To our mind he had ho right J
0 make any decision, as Davis was um>iriug
the bases. Iu both games the de- '
isions were severely scored, not only by
iamberg's contingent, but by visitors
rom other towns and some Orangeburg
>eople. j
Good crowds went over on the special
>oth days, many ladies being in the party, j
The first five inuiugs of Thursday's game ]
vas a beautiful exhibition, neither side
coring, but a decision against Bamberg 1
it this stage seemed to take the spirit out
>f our boys, and iu the next inning Hoff- i
uan went up in the air and was batted ]
reely, four scores being made. The final 1
core was six to one. <
On Friday Columbia's crack pitcher <
vas put in the box, he who had pitched
1 shut out game against Orangeburg and i
llowed only one run in another only a i
ew weeks before. The hopes of Bamberg I
vere high, but what a change came over
be spirit of our. dreams. He allowed j
limself to be batted all over the field, he <
umbled every ball knocked to him, and t
vith his all-round careless playing threw 1
he game away in the first few innings,
>ud let everybody on to the fact that there I
noc cnmatKinir U7raiicr It was verv evi- j
T ao juujv/buiu^ if * .? ? ?w
lent to all present that he wanted Orange- ]
>urg to win the game, and this, with the <
ssistance of the umpire, he succeeded in 1
uaking a certainty. Youmans was substiuled
after the fifth inning, and after thi9 <
)rangeburg did not cross the home plate, I
;etting only one hit off him. They were i
learly not in the game after the change j
if twirlers, while Bamberg made four 1
acre runs. The final score was 6 to 7. I
The writer believes in good, clean sport,
10 matter who wins, but we are afraid the I
exhibitions of Thursday and Friday do j
lot tend to this end. <
The report of the game which appeared j
n the State was evidently written by
ome one who lived at Orangeburg but <
vas away from town, and had his sum- i
nary sent to him by some one who was <
tot at the game. Let us take a glance
it his report: ' Bamberg got two (?) hits, |
)rangebufg made but one error, two meu ]
vere hit by pitched balls, four men were i
fiven bases by the pitcher, a total of nine
nen who were on bases, yet the summary '
ays that seven men were left on bases,
ind that Bamberg made six runs; this
nakes it seem to us that at least thirteen
nen would have had to be on bases. We
nention this to show that the report i9
>adly off in reference to base hits. The
james now stand 3 to 2 in Bamberg's
avor.
The League? Literary and Social.
Quite a pleasant evening was spent ou
Puesday of this, week by the Epworth
^eaguers of this city at the home of Mrs.

Branchvllle's Message. '
Branchville, July 20.?Crops have I
improved wonderfully within the past i
week, and if the weather continues as i
favorable no one will have cause to com- i
plain. I
Several thousand pounds of good to- i
bacco will soon be shipped from here to 1
Plnr^nr>p *a hf anM It SHems st ranee I
that Orangeburg, always energetic and
progressive, should not have erected a
warehouse and thus encourage the farmers
while at the same time benefit themselves.
The Woodmen of the World will have
s log rolling on the 28th instant, when
music will be furnished by an Orangeburg
band. A large attendance is anticipated.
A good baker will find it profitable to
locate here, as this town is badly in need
yf one. To supply the market bread has
to be shipped here from Charleston, Bam- berg,
Orangeburg and Camden.
Branchville will be well represented at
the Ehrhardt picnic Thursday, the 23rd
instant. In the afternoon our boys will
play a game of baseball and at night will <
lance to the melodious strains of Hia- '
watha.
Several people from here witnessed the
splendid exhibitions of ball playing in
Orangeburg last Thursday and Friday,
tnd are firmly convinced ot the patriotism
of the men and women of Bamberg,
who most enthusiastically support their
team in victory or defeat.
At a nominal cost of 25 cents a month
to each one directly benefitted, we could
have a wagon to remove the garbage and
tuber filth from the town every morning.
3uch necessary improvements which are
vital to our very existence cannot be con- sidered
an innovation in this age of push i
and energy. A few years ago even the j
suggestion of some needed improvement
oc
would have been met with the cynical expression
of "nothing good can be accomplished
in this town," but times and
circumstantces have changed, and with
it comes a desire for everything modern.
This is but another example of the true i
principle that "man's wants are progressive."
Miss Grainger, of Summerville, paid a
visit to friends last week.
Mrs. G. F. Lewis, of Georges, spent
Wednesday in town.
Capt. English McCutchen, the crack
foot ball player of the South Carolina
College, was the guest of friends last
week.
Miss Ruth Connor, of Allendale, is
visiting relatives.
Mrs. Robert Stroble, of Augusta, is
spending some time with her relatives.

A Surgical Operation
is always dangerous?do not submit to the
surgeon's knife until you try DeWitt's
witch hazel salve. It cures when everything
else fails?it has done this in thousands
of casts. Here is one of them: I suffered
from bleeding and protruding piles
for twenty years. Was treated by specialists
and used many remedies, but obtained
no relief until I used DeWitt's witch hazel
salve. Two boxes of this salve cured me
18 months ago and I have not had a touch
of piles since?H. A. Tisdalc, Summerton,
S. C. For blind, bleeding andprotruding
piles no remedy equals DeWitt's witch
hazel salve. Sold by Dr. H. F. Hoover.

Reflections of a Bachelor.
What a girl speaks of in company as her
robe de nuit, she thinks of alone as hei
nightie.
A woman has two great missions in life
?first to get into society and, secondly,
to keep others out.
Every morning that a woman gets up,
she has a sneaking idea that this is the
day some great romance will come into
her life.
If every girl who thinks she knows how
to play the piano, knew how to cook, the
divorce lawyers would go into some other
business.
Next to finding out a scandal in her
neighbor's life, a woman's highest excitement
is trying to keep her neighbor from
finding out the scandal in hers.

vomiting, with loss of appetite and depressior
Df spirits. Thousands who have been exposed
:o cold, damp winds and rains while toiling ir
:he harvest fields, now feel the twinges oi
:errible rheumatism; others run down bj
worry, overwork, and irregular dieting, art
:ormented with the pangs of dyspepsia.
To the thousands of run down, sickly, anc
naif dead men and women in farm homes wt
recommend with all honesty and confidence
;he worker's friend, Paine's Celery Compound,
