The State Fair affords a fine opportunity to sell and to buy. The variety is from a peck of pease to a pair of pacers; help swell the variety by making an ex& hibit at the next fair^ October 27-30th. For thirty days for cash I will sell at % cost my stock of summer goods, consisting _ of dry goods, clothing, and low cut shoes, to make room for fall stock. I leave on Monday for New York. J. A. Byrd. The new exhibitor at the next State Fair will not be a stranger in a strange 'v land. The officers will make him feel at home and will give him all the aid and information he will need. Be there OMrvhpr 27-3flth. Dr. B. D. Bronson has been honored -with military honors within the past week, be having been promoted from . surgeon of Company G, to assistant surgeon of the Second South Carolina regiment of infantry, with the rank of cap\ tain. The building committee of the new graded school has sold back to Mr. O'Neal the buildings on the lot purchased from him. Be has purchased the lot next to Mr. G. A. Rice's from Mrs. Hartzog, and is having, the house and other buildings moved e. Mr. A. M. Brabham left last Monday for Hendersonville, N. C., where he has gone to join a team of base ballists. This team r. is being organized by Mr. G. Marshall Moore, formerly a teacher iu the Carlisle Fitting School, and it will be made up entirely of college players from this State. Mrs. E. S. M. Hammett, mother of Mrs. D. J. Auld, died at 12 o'clock last Tuesday night at the home of her daughter, on Calhoun street. She had reached the .advanced age of 81 years, and had been sick for a long time past. The funeral r- services were held at the residence at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning and the remains were taken to Blackville, the former home of the deceased, on the 2 ^; o'clock train, where they were interred. * * ?Sumter Herald. In the third game of the series played - . Wtcoon T.anrens and Bamberer. the visi , tors were outclassed by the fast playing J i _ of the home team. Hoffman pitched a 1 splendid game, allowing few hits and showing good head work at critical meet ments. Had it not been for one or two - errors made by the,home team's infield, the result would have beeu a string of goose eggs for Laurens. As it was, Bamberg won by a score of 9 to 2. This game was played after we went to press Wednesday afternoon, and it made three straight victories for our boys over the Laurens aggregation. Three years ago Mr. H. J. Brabham planted grafted pecan trees, of the celebrated Stuart varieties, ou about a fourth of au acre of land at his residence. By special attention they have all lived and *- done well. Several days ago he decided i that they needed some trimming. From the limbs he took off the Nursery got 500 buds for budding ou common stock. r These trees will bear some of the largest nuts that grow in the world, and the ky bads sell in Mississippi for 10c each, at which price Mr. Brabham would have py; realizea $50 from only a dozen trees, fethree years planted. s\ Iv The family of Mr. Win. Stokes and Mrs. M. A. Adams moved to Edisto last week. "Spot," the bird dog belonging to Mr. C. J. S. Brooker, was killed by a train last Friday morning. Last Monday was salesday, but there were no public sales and only a small crowd was in town. The section of country around Bamberg and Denmark can show some as fine crops as any county in the State. Mr. A. Kirsch has rented the residence of Mrs. M. A. Adams on Railroad avenue, and will occupy it at once. The chain gaug is at present doing some good work on the New Bridge road. It is being straightened as well as worked. From the wa}T new stores are being built, our people must believe that business in Bamberg is on a decided increase. Our merchants are leaving for the Northern markets, and we understand they will buy large stocks of goods, as the ?4i iT crop ouuook is unguu Good rains have fallen very generally in this section during the past week, and the crops have been much benefitted thereby'. The prospect at present is good. The New Bridge road on this side of the river is beiug put in good condition. Let our Orangeburg friends now give attention to the other side. This is an important road, and should be kept unwell. Buildiug and improvement is the order of the day in Bamberg now. Let the good work go ou, but don't forget good roads. We must have these to induce people from a distance to come aud trade with us. The $2,000 appropriated by city couucil is soon to be spent on the roads, aud we suggest that the first work done should be the building of a new road to the Hunter's Chapel section. It is badly needed. One fact should make many uew exhibitors for the next State Fair?the society pays the freight on all exhibits grown or produced iu this State, thus enabling exhibits to be sent to and returned from the fair without cost to the exhibitor. We understand that Messrs. H. C. and Jno. F. Folk will tit up the hall above their three stores into an opera house and lodge rooms. This is something very much needed iu Bamberg, and ought to pay handsome dividends on the money invested. Mr. J. C. Redmon, of this county, and recently of this city, who graduated from Wofford college at the last session, has been elected as professor of ureeK ana Latin in the Carlisle Fitting School at Bamberg. This is quite an honor to our talented young friend. ? Orangeburg Patriot. The social feature of the State Fair is an important item in considering the advantages of being an exhibitor. You meet the best and most progressive farmers and stock breeders in the State and make many friends who are valuable to yon. Prepare a good exhibit to go to the next State Fair, October 27-30th. The Orangeburg baseball team has been disbanded for the season. The boys gave us some fine ball and the lovers of the sport w ill regret that "all is over" for the remainder of the season. It takes money to keep up a good team and we hear that the managers had trouble to collect what had been subscribed to the baseball fund. ?Orangeburg Patriot. Mr. H. C. Folk is prepariug to erect a brick store uext to his store, thus tilling up the vocant lot between his store and Mr. Kirsch. The building is to be 32 feet wide, 75 feet long, and two stories. Col. Jno. F. Folk owns the two adjoining stores, and he will put another story on, this making a solid two-story block of five stores from the corner to Mr. C. R. Brabham's. Our town is certainly on a boom, and there is more building going on in the business section than for years. City council held a regular monthly meeting Tuesday afternoon. The regular routine business was transacted, and G. Frank Bamberg, E. C. Hays, and G. P. Harmon, were appointed as a committee to act in the matter of the roads appropriation of $2,000 by city council. This committee is to determine where and how the money is to be spent and on what roads. It is expected that the work under this Appropriation will begin during this month, aud we understand the first work will be the building of a new road from Bamberg down in the Hunter's Chapel sectiou. Mr. C. R. Calhoun, who has been principal of the Bamberg graded school for the past three years, has accepted the position of principal of the Walterboro graded school, aud will assume charge at the openingof the fall session next month. Mr. Calhoun is a progressive, up-to-date teacher, and made a most en viable record with the school here. He almost trebled the enrollment during the three years he was at the head of our school, and we expect him to make a fine record at Walterboro. We heartily commend he and his most excellent family to the good people of our sister town. Thought to Assume Charge. Last Thursday afternoon three young white fellows came down to Bamberg from Langley for the purpose of having a good time. They had been in our city only one short hour when they were taKen in charge by chief of police Kirkland. They were on factory hill, drunk and raising a row. The whole street was taken into their own keepiug, no one was allowed to pass the place where they had stationed themselves. When policeman Kirkland arrested them, all but one. a little fellow of great age, submitted quietly. Aid was called iu for the little fellow, and all the Langley fellows were in the house of the little door in a few minutes. Mayor Johnson in bis court gave one twenty days and another ten. The other was allowed to go. They took the days and are now doing time on the couuty chain gang. Gallftut Company G. The Bamberg Guards, or Company G, as it is named, returned on Monday morning from the Isle of Palms. The second regiment, judging from the appearance of Company G, must have had a big time. Haggard faces and slow marching give signs of hard work. From all we can gather, the encampment was not so much of a picnic as was anticipated. The cheers given by the Guards on returning were not quite so hearty as were the ones given on the setting out. While every one confesses a good time, we feel sure that Company G is quite glad to be at home once more. The Profession of "Up Jinks." "Progressive up jinks," a most entertaining game, was the chief entertainment at the delightful "at home" given by Miss Hibernia Counts on last Wednesday evening. Those who had gathered for the up jinkins party were welcomed by Miss ^ - ? -i - * . r .1 ai. ..A ^ uouius anu rnaue 10 ieei mai uu evcumg j of pleasure was to be their lot. Tables arranged iu the large parlor and drawing room were soon surrounded by the jolly merry makers. Most of the evening was given to the progressors as they went from table to table, and when the progression had ended Mr. Vernon Brabham had proven himself to be the most progressive of all the progressors. He was given the first prize. Miss Salley Felder was rewarded with the booby. Delightful refreshments were served during the later part of the evening: The invited guests were: Miss Bessie Lee Black, Mr. Robert Hartzog; Miss Blanche Livingston, Mr. W. Frank Johnson ; Miss Ida Livingston, Mr. Greaton E. Bamberg; Miss Myra Hootou, Mr. Albion Kirsch; Miss Rhea Nevins, Mr. David G. Felder; MissEulalie Slater,Mr. Vance VV.

Bamberg's Team and The Record It Has Made. The baseball team which has represented Bamberg during the season just closed, has made a record of which any team might be proud. Fast playing has thp wnrk ?f our team and ginger at the right time accounts for the long string of victories for the Bamberg aggregation. Teams in the lower part of the State have been unable. to cope with the fast ball tossers from this towu. Bamberg has not lost a series to any town in the State; she has played every tewn in our State, which professes to have had a team, save Columbia. We therefore justly claim second place in the State and leaving out Columbia, whom we never played, we hold tirsst place. Laurens defeated everj'thing iu the upper part of the State until she met Columbia; we defeated Laurens three straights. The crowds during the first of the season were good; but they finally dropped off to nothing. The people of the town have given the association good backing and they have the sincere thanks of the association. This is one season that has witnessed plenty of ball in Bamberg. Next season let the people get togethar and put out even a better aggregation than they had this year. I The following mpn composed the team which*has been so victorious: W. G. Hoffman) (Captain), and Laval, pitchers; C. Brabham, and Norvell, catchers; Holland, 1st base; Bamberg, 2nd base; McCathern, 3rd base; A. M. Brabham, short-stop; W. M. Brahham, left field; Wise, center field ; Kinard, and Walker, right field. The following is a list of the games played by the Bamberg team this season : Won?Bloomer girls (1), Carlisle Fitting School (2), Orangeburg (3), Waynesboro (2), Aiken (3), St. Georges (1), Denmark (1), Laurens (3).

Ehrhardt, August 4.?We are now having very nice rains for the suffering crops. The prospect is much brighter now than it was ten days ago for a good cotton crop. Mr. L. W. Ritter came to town last Saturday with an open boll of cotton in his hand; the first of the seasou down here. Mr. A. W. Brabham says he has already picked some and will have a bale on the market in about two weeks. The protracted meeting at Carter's Ford was very largely attended from here last Sunday. Mr. T. W. Dannelly is at home from Rantowles, where he is engaged as foreman for a large saw mill force. He will return to-day, and will be accompanied by his son, George.

B the Largest and M< bought right and Braiichville's Message. Branchville, August 3.?At the cost of a few dollars wonderful improvements are being made on some of the streets and now they present a more animated and prepossessing appearance, which is more pleasing to the aesthetic tastes of our citizens and more conducive to their safety. The refreshing rains of last week brightened the prospects of a good crop to a .considerable extent. The farmers have laid by, and are awaiting the developments of variable August with slight apprehension. The "log rolling" of the Woodmen of the World last Tuesday evening was an en iovable occasion and was well attended bv the frieuds and relatives of the order. The address of welcome was made in a graceful and dignified manner by Dr. J. S. Wimberley, who announced the inability of the speaker of the evening to be present aud that short addresses would be made by local talent. Daiuty refreshments were served and the Woodmen dispensed their hospitality in a lavish and profuse manner. Miss Leila Marchant, an accomplished musician of Orangeburg, played most beautifully on the piano. Mrs. T. O. Edwards was the genial hostess ata delightful entertainment given at her elegant home last Thursday evening. On Wednesday evening,the 19th instant, all lovers of the^ancing art will have an excellent opportunity of enjoying themselves in our spacious city hall which is well adapted to that purpose. The young men will give a ball on that evening in honor of their butterfly friends, and a large crowd will be expected from the neighboring towns. A pleasant time is assured all who will avail themselves of this opportunity to relax themselves from their daily toil and drudgery and enjoy the pleasures of an evening. Music will be furnished by the Orangeburg band, and no special invitations will be issued. Last Friday afternoou the Branchville boys defeated the Smoaks team by a regular Augusta vs. Charleston score of 21 to 0. This was Smoaks first attempt on the diamond, and until Kinard and Moye were imported from Bamberg they had little confidence in their ability. Two plavers could not, however, win the game, and the result is Branchville had an easy walk over. The home team played two games with 31ackville last Wednesday and Thursday ?the first of which was won by Branchville by a score of 10 to 7, the second by Blackville by a score of 7 to 5. The batteries were: for Blackville, Crum, Boylston and "Bologna." Fairey pitched a most magnificent game, striking out 23 men in the first game and 18 in the second. The boys were royally entertained by their Blackville friends, and when they return a game on Thursday everything will be done to reciprocate for their kind and thoughtful attention. \*ico -Tr?hn<5nn of Charleston. visited friends this week.

Blackville plays Orangeburg next week. Mr. Walter Green, of Williston, is putting his knitting mill into operation. Mr. Green's enterprise is backed by substantial capital, and the company is to put in at once a spinning establishment and yarn mill. The present knitting mill employs about 75 operatives, aud when the other departments are completed there will be about 300 regular operatives, making quite a good factory for Blackville.

Several enterprising farmers are also experimenting in tobacco this season, aud the undertaking bids fair to , succeed. The expert tobacco men say , that it is a good grade of tobacco, and I that the lands here are well suited for tobacco culture. With melons, cantaloupes, ' tobacco, the peach and pecau orchards being put in around town, Blackville P gives promise of developing into a great r truck-growing centre, and will doubtless regain somewhat of her former flourishing business. Indeed, she seems already to be doing so.

ALFRED BROWN, A Prominent and Popular Citizen; Says: 'After the Use of Paine's Celery Compound, I Am Now in the Best of Health." The greatest of modern physicians, Prof. idwardE. Phelps, M. D., LL. D., after years >f long practice and close scientific study, gave o suffering and diseased men and women his narvelous, life giving prescription, with the ronviction and positive knowledge that it had jeculiar virtues and ample powers to cure. Thousands of the strongest testimonials from he best known and most reliable men and women of our country fully sustain the claims nade by Dr. Phelps regarding his incomparj ible Paine's Celery Compound. One of the most convincing proofs furnished, :omes recently from a gentleman widely cnown in the capital city of the Dominion of Canada. We refer to Mr. AJired brown, 91 3'Connor St., Ottawa, Ont. Mr. Brown's etter fully demonstrates the fact that the greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden sf disease and become well, strong, and happy, [t proves, too, that the great medicine main:ains more fully than ever before its unrivaled place in the estimation of people of wealth and social standing as well as with the masses. Mr. Brown says:? " I acknowledge with thankfulness and pleasure the fact that I have been cured of a very painful illness of eight years' standing by jse of Paine's Celery Compound. I had, during the years of my illness, tried almost all the advertised medicines without deriving any good results. I was also treated by several of the best doctors of this city, hoping to find that one of them, at least, would understand my case. 411 was getting worse, and was told I was incurable. I was indeed in a critical condition. I could not go from the house alone, as I was liable to sudden collapse. I tried hospital treatment, but no relief or good results came to me. I could not sleep; anything that * j : T ? t ate increascu my aguiuca; & ?? caiuuili; weak, restless, tired, and despondent; was obliged to walk about with my hands pressed Firmly into my left side to ease my pains; my feet and hands were cold continually; had inclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats, quick breathing, and would be racked with pain for hours at a time. "After the regular use of Paine's Celery Compound for a time, I am now in the best of health, have good appetite, and can use any kind of food. Thank God I am my old self once more, all through the use of Paine's Celery Compound." FOR TWENTY YEARS DIAMOND DYES have been the standard home dye*.
