H THURSDAY, August 27, IMS. i On every hand in Bamberg now is heard the sound of hammer and saw, and it's not the auctioneer's hammer either. . * * * If Mr. Pulitzer's school of journalism " II *V>rrKl?r annin mon aillV^PSS VVAlt fcUUi VUgUiJ 4UVM fully run a nonpareil paper in a long primer town, it may be much of a boon v to the profession. We wonder if the people of South Carolina will be consistent enough to refuse Senator Tillman a "free pass" to the United States Senate after roasting him so thoroughly for g^cepting passes from corporations. Within the past few months the shipping of timber has become a live industry in our town. Bamberg county is considJ ered a great timber county.

Smith, "Bill Arp," the wells' known Southern writer is dead, and there is sadness in many homes all over our - Southland. His weekly letters for many years have been read and enjoyed by i>|? scores of people, who sorrow with those - near and dear to him. * * The Augusta Chronicle is certainly K getting "a move on"*itself under the new : management. The improvement already in it's news service and mechanical rie: V p&rtment has been wonderful, and now a -v:- new $12,000 press has been bought and it , is proposed to print a ten page paper every day as soon as the machinery can ~ V be installed. ? Sep; ##* Over in Georgia the other day a Confederate veteran desired to take unto him. self a wife, so he wrote a note to the proper official setting forth his wants with the additional statement that his money was (scarce and he wanted the necessary li' . v cense furnished without cost. If this man had.as much nerve in battle as he has in matrimonial affairs, he must have made a cracking good soldier, and the official shonld have given him the license, even if he is drawing a pension. *** We cannot understand why many newspapers keep on printing that old ! humbug called " newspaper laws " which threaten a man with all sorts of dire punishment if he does not pay for his paper or refuses to take it from the office, etc. There is absolntely no use in it, and it seems nonsensical to waste space which should be given up to news. The best plan is to make people pay for your paper, or in other words, "no pay, no paper." Good roads are essential to the upbuilding of a real good town. One of the things by which and for which a town or city is recognized is its streets. The Bamberg commonwealth is one of ^ which the State might be proud when the matter of good roads is considered. An appropriation of $2,060 for the improvement of public roads is no unimportant matter to our little city. Well kept streets are a blessing to a town; not only does a city look better, but the CTAftt <mnd from a sanitary standooint is also a great factor. The claying of Bailroad Avenue is one of the best pieces of work done in Bamberg in quite a long while. The heavy sand beds have been done away with and in their places good clay roads are seen. In a short while all the heavy roads will be clayed and then will our town be well fixed as to good roads. We commend the good work of the city council to the people of Bamberg. They have done a good work and are still doing it; may they keep it up until we may boast of as good streets as any (town in the whole State.

The Thoriwell Orphanage. Thp. Thnrnwell OrDhanacre. located in Clinton, South Carolina, is an institution for the primary, high school and advanced education, both literary aud technical, of orphan boys and girls. The institution is under the control of trustees appointed by the three Synods of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, but it receives pupils from any religious denominations and from any part of our common country. Orphans to be received, must be with> out means of support of their own and hence the care of them rests upon the general public. Contributions for the aid of the institution are not ordered by j any church court; there are no agents canvassing the field asking for money;, there are no collection boxes ou the premises of the institution. The only dependence of these orphans for their daily bread is on the goodness of God, the printed page, and the generous help given by the press in spreading information about the work. The boys aud girls are not legally bound to the institution but are free to come aud go. Tbey choose to come. They hate to leave us even when all has been done for them that can be done by the institution. As they are well taught in their books and trained in various trades, such as printing, carpentry, farming, laundering and the like, they are always able to take care of themselves on leaving us. We have one hundred and two orphans from South Carolina, forty-two from Georgia, sixteen from Florida, and fortytwo from twelve other States and territories. Those who love the fatherless, (all of our two hundred children are fatherless) can aid by sending flour, molasses, sugar, rice, meal, or any other kind of provisions except vegetables, (which they raise for themselves) or by gifts of money. The sum of five dollars will board and clothe a child for one month. Almost anybody can by that small gift, be a protector of some orphan for thirty days. This may be sent simply to Thornwell Orphanage, or to Rev. Dr. Jacobs, Clinton, S. C., who will take pleasure in giving additional information to any asking for it. If you need a buggy or wagon, you can't afford not to get Frank Bamberg's prices. He is not giviug this stuff away, but he is coining as near doing that as any other dealer in the State. . mSSr+. / tar'* . * Country Correspondence. Truly summer weather we are "having , these days.

The Raleigh News and Observer holds ,hat Senator Tillman, because of his free ise of deadhead privileges in the way of free passes on ttje railroads and free 1 franks from the telegraph company, and 1 free transportation from the express i companies, is "no worse or no better than bis colleagues." That is a generous view to take of the matter, but it is not a , correct view, as our contemporary must admit if it will only recall the fact that it was Senator Tillman himself who 1 made the fight against the use of free passes by any officer of the State government in South Carolina.?News and Courier. The News and Observer says: " Senator Tillman says that members of congress are 4 loaded down with free passes.' The inter-state commerce act forbids free nasses under a Denaltv of 'not less than $1,000 and not "more than $5,000.' The North Carolina statutes, which our courts enforce, is a verbatim copy of the United States statute. Why is it that no federal district attorney takes steps to enforce the United States law? Do federal judges and district attorneys accept these favors ?

The proposed enlargement of the Ehrhardt Tobacco Factory at Bamberg by a joiut stock company with sufficient capital and up-to-date energy is on the right line. That is the only right way in which the cultivation of the weed can be profitably coutiuued and the tobacco trust effectively fought. South Carolina tobacco for South Carolinians should be the rule now and hereafter. Profit in such a venture will of course depend on the management of the business. South Caroiiua tobacco is all right of itself, and if properly manufactured and pushed will not ouly supply the home market but be puffed everywhere.

TILLMAN TRIAL. Larse Crowds to Attend ?The Prisoner Comfortably Fixed. : A special from Lexington to the Spartanburg Journal says: 1 About a month hence it is expected that this little town will be entertaining the largest number of visitors ever kuowu in its history. The trial of James H. ! Tillman for the murder of N. G. Gonzales in Columbia is set for that time, and it is ! generally believed will be delayed no longer. Almost five hundred witnesses have been summoned to appear in this case by the opposing sides. 1 All available space in the hotels has ' been engaged weeks since by interested parties, and how the immense number of i spectators sure to be on hand will be accommodated is an interesting problem. The last census gave the town something over nine hundred inhabitants. It is thought that at least five thousand will be here during the trial. Meantime the prisoner occupies his * * ' * M ai cell in me .uexingion county jau. ouenu Caugbman has made hira as comfortable as possible, putting bim on tbe sbadv side of tbe building on the first floor near the sheriff's own quarters and occasionally permitting biin to exercise himself by walking up and down the corridor. As a rule the sheriff does not lock the cell from the outside but leaves the lock for Tillman to turn if h.e so desires. Three times a day' Mr. Marks, who keeps a restaurant just behind the jail, can be seen bringing the prisoner his meals. Tillman states that he finds his quarters here pleasauter than those in the Richland jail, where he was imprisoned during some warm days of May and June. Many visitors attracted by curiosity or other motives go to see the noted prisoner. Some time since his wife and little daughter spent several days in Lexington with relatives and made frequent visits to the jail. Others of his kiusfolk have been here from time to time. Tillman's little nephew, a handsome boy of seven summers, is staying iu the jail to wait upon his uncle and is said to be a general favorite with the prisoners. Speculation as to the verdict in the case is almost useless. As stated above, Mrs. James H. Tillman has relatives iu the town and also in the country and people feel much real sympathy for her. it is doubtful if the same feeling exists in her husband's case. The belief of almost all those who have read the newspapers aud care to express themselves, is that the act was genuine murder and should be punished. At the same time it should be remembered that Senator Tillmau has always had a large following iu' the tnk.^AirAM Kin nauKattr^a f/\l 1 TXT inn* UUUUV) nuaicvc 1 Ills ucpucn a juuuniug was, and this fact is almost sure to influence some jur3rmeu.

At a barbecue given over in Lexington Thursday Senator Tillman was present and made a speech. Naturally the people -i expected him to say something about his free pass experience, but he did not pretend to make any denial of the fact that he used them nor did he attempt to explain how it was that he accepted free J transportation from railroads. He contented himself by saying that the whole thing was an eagerly grasped opportunity to attack him on part of his enemies, especially the newspapers, adroitly avoiding any explanation of his violation of the law of the State in having passes "forced" on him. Otherwise the senator talked on national politics and disagreed with his colleague, Senator Latimer, on his scheme to have a large appropriation from the government for good roads building because it was impracticable.?
