Speaking of Bamberg. We heard a well-to-do farmer of Orange- ; hnv<? fAnntu while sneakini? of the ! I?P vw* 5 ?W-V ?j , * ? improvements which have been made on the new bridge road,that bethought it "the ( beat road in this part of the country. It is certainly a contrast to the road on the Orangeburg 9ide; we people over there have got to wake our side up and have ? - " the road improved." This is the road that the convicts have been working. If we can have as good roads all over the county as. we are now having built, Bamberg and Bamberg county may feel proud. It is good roads together with a good cotton market which-makes cotton come here so abundantly. "We recognize that Bamberg is the livest town in this section, and that more business is done there than in any other of the neighboring towns. The people stick together and go into an enterprise with one heart and purpose. This accounts for the town being what it is toX ' day." Thus spoke one of the most prominent citizens of a not far distant "If we except the cities which import cotton, Bamberg has marketed more cottnn than ?nv other market in South Caro iv lina or Georgia," said a drummer who has recently been through these two f States. A mowing machine on Railroad Avenue and some other streets would not be bad. Weeds do not look very good od our main residence street, especially since clay has just been put there to iml prove it. ? Denmark Doings. Denmark, September 15.?Misses Inez and Julia Zorn returned home last Wednesday from an extended trip in Georgia, to the delight of their many ^ friends.. Mr. C. A. Berry, of Charleston, and J. B. Gillam, of this place, seem to be the cotton buyers of this market, as they are getting all the cotton. There are several others here, but they do not seem to be in it a little bit Two hundred and ten bales were sold here last Saturday. Mr. D. I. R. Felder has accepted a position with Mr. J. B. Gillam, behind the counter, where he will be glad to serve SEjfe? the public! : . gap Mr. C. T. Bamberg, of Ott'e Siding, is now with the Denmark Dry Goods Co., |jrvi where he wilL.be glad to see his friends. We are glad to report that Dr. J. S. *** ! ' Matthews is improving, who has been sick with fever for several days. , The graded school at this place resumed IVV Vv work last Monday morning with the fol- , lowing teachers; Prof. J. Arthur Wiggins, principal, Misses Carrie Reaves, of Latta, 8. C., Janie P. Flenniken, of Winnsboro, V. S. C., Lila Davis Tew, of Columbia, 8. C., Janie May Carroll, of Chester, S. C., Lillian Giambrell, of Abbeville, S. C., Fannie Lou Koger, of Greenville, S. C., and Kate Izetta Patillo, of Charleston, 8. - C., as assistants. The number of scholars enrolled was about one hundred and forty. Mr. Albert Ehrlicb, traveling salesman for A. Ehrlicb & Bro9., of Savannah, was g; v in town last Thursday, seeing his custoV; mers. xMr. W. H. Bamberg, of Ott's Siding, one of Bamberg county's largest contractors and farmers, was in town last ThereM day, shaking hands with friends. "Uncle BiHy," as he is better known, is never idle, and his friends say that the great * " trouble isthat he does not stay with them long enough to give them the news. A. Mclver Bostick, Esq., stopped over in town last Thursday en" route to Bamberg front Beaufort, where he had been I ? -- in attendance upon court. Hon. (X W. Garris stopped over with us a short while last Thursday on his way to his home in Bamberg. Hon. and Mrs. H. H. Crura, of Columbia, arrived in the city last Saturday. Mr. Sk Cram returned to Columbia Sunday evenL ing, bat Mrs. Cram will remain with her children, as they have entered the graded school. Mr. U.-$t. Milhous had the misfortune / * to have one of his fingers cut off by the t gin last Week. ' Mr/James N. Veazy, of Cincinnati, was the guest of Hon. H. H. Crum at Rice's Hotel one day last week. Mr. W.'B. Rast, of Swansea, who has the contract for the dormitory at the Voorbees Industrial School grounds, was in town last Saturday. Mr. J. A. Suqamersett, who was agent for the old South Carolina & Georgia Railroad this place some years ago, but who is now trainjnaster for the Columbia, Newberry ? Laurens Railroad, with headquarters in Columbia, was in town on Monday, calling on his friends Mr. a friondc in rmr ^ OUftUUlCIdCl^b uoo mouj iAiv^Mu mt - little city, with whom he will always receive a warm welcome. Oor merchants did a very fine business gjgT. last Saturday rhm A goodly number of our young men are enjoying themselves shooting doves on Mr. W. H. Bamberg's place near Ott's Siding. Mr. J. Sigmund Walker left Monday for Walterboro. where he will open up a soda water business. The Caivin vagrant law of Georgia is just the thing we need in South Carolina, as there are enough loafing negroes hanging around the towns to keep all crops from suffering for work. Another law that is very much needed in this State, and which we will see the necessity of before always, is that any person who owns a rifle must give bond to keep the same, except officers of the law, military or other companies commissioned by the Governor, or show to the satisfaction of the board of registration that he is entitled to keep one, just as he would have to show that he was entitled to receive a registration certificate. The much-needed rain has come at last, and the people are planting rutabagas QTiri tnrnina in a till nflflnfP. Rev. Frank Willcock filled his appoiut ment here last Sunday morning and evening. Quite a good crowd attended both services. If you need a buggy or wagon you can't afford not to get Frank Bamberg's prices. He is not giving this stuff away, but he is coming as near doing that as any other dealer in the State. ? The Cotton Market. The cotton market in Bamberg continues steady. The price being paid here today (Wednesday) for best cotton is 10$ cents the pound. Receipts for the week about 800 bales. Sprains. 8. A. Read, Cisco, Texas, writes, March 11,1901: "My wrist was sprained so badly by a fall that it was useless, and after using several remedies that failed to give relief, used Ballard's Snow Liniment, and was cured. I earnestly recommend it to i any one suffering from sprains." 25c, i 50c, $1.00. Sold by Dr. H. F. Hoover. The New Annapolis. Turning down to the left from "Lover's 1 ^ane," where we have l>ee? walking, we 1 troll oil to the Naval Observatory and library. 'i TUB O USE 11V A TO It Y 1 s a neat little building, and is fitted up n a most excellent manner. The telecopes, spectroscopes, and other astrononical instruments are of the latest design, md are used exclusively by the Midship- 1 nen of the two upper classes and naval 1 :xperts. Here the time of day is carefuly reckoued, and all watches and clocks ] n the naval service are corrected by it. Leaving the observatory we walk on owards the library. Just before reading it, however, our attention is drawn to t beautiful little monument on our left. 3u a large pedestal and around a tall > narble shaft are four cannon of granite supporting the upper part of the monuneut. This makes a beautiful and im posing tablet to the memory of the he roes, to whom it was erected. Two mar- . Pie tablets tell the motive which prompted the fallen heroes' friends to erect it. In Jauuary, 1846, Midshipmen Clemson Mid Hyuson were washed overboard the LJ. S. Brig Somers off the coast of Mexico not far from the city of Vera Cruz and drowned. Later on, in 1847, Midshipman Pillsbury was killed while in action with the Naval Batter}', which assisted at the storming of Vera Cruz by Gen. Scott. Midshipman Shubrick was drowned soon after while attempting to rescue a comrade, who had fallen overboard his ship, the Somers. THE LIBRARY, which we reach next, is a brick building, set back in a grove of large trees. With its tall columns, it presents the appearance of an old Southern home. The library contains about 15,000 volumes, besides the many series of government reports etc. All the latest books of tictiou, as well as the works of classic authors and books of reference are to be found here. The reading room is also in this building, and all the best magazines and periodicals are on the tables. Only persons attached to the navy are allowed to use the library, and the Midshipmen have preference over all others. Just beyond the library is a quaint old relic of the past?erected on a. neat pedestal is the mast head of the once famous cruiser,- the U. S. B. Delaware of 1817. The figure is a huge Indian's head and shoulders. It is carved out of a block of wood, and measures about ten ieet nigu by four wide. Around the majestic head is hung all of the Indian's weapons?his knife, his powder horn, his tomahawk etc. This quaint old custom of placing a totem on the mast head of the battle-ship has long since passed by, and the few that we see nowadays do not fail to awaken interest in us. Below this are.the general offices of the superintendent and his assistant; the Academy store, where the Midshipman receives all his supplies; and the Paymaster's office. Behind all this and down a high grassy terrace, we see through the branches of the numerous fir and oak trees the athletic field of the midshipmen. First there is a basket ball field, and then ten fine tennis courts. Tennis is played a great deal, and to see so many midshipmen in their blue and yellow striped jerseys playing at a time is a fine sight. Around the tennis courts is the race track?this is a fifth mile track, and is well kept up. To one side is set up poles for jumping, vaulting, etc. The base ball and foot ball fields are on the other side of the "yard," and will be spoken of later. Quitting the hill, which overlooks all this, we pass back to Blake Row once more. Here we arrive at the CHAPEL, which is at one end of the Row. The rik-. %a a litfl a Krt/ikr 19 a 1U11C unca uuuuiug erected on a shady spot and has its walls all overgrown with ivy. It i? entirely too small to accommodate the midshipmen now, however, and i9 being replaced by a magnificent $400,000 granite structure. Upon obtaining permission we pass inside. The chapel is neatly fitted up in Episcopalian style. On account of there being so many denominations in the Academy, the Episcopalian form of worship is used. All Midshipmen, excepting those who are Catholics, are compelled to attend services here once each Sunday. The pews are neatly * cushioned, the walls handsomely painted, the floor carpeted and the building lighted by electricity and heated by steam. In the gallery is a pipe organ with a special organist, who is leader of the choir?composed wholly of midshipmen. But what strikes us most of all in the chapel is the three stained glass windows, and the many tablets which' adorn the walls. One large handsome window?said to be the most expensive one of its kind in America?is to the memory of Lieut-commander Mason, who died several years ago. The other two were placed in the chapel by the government, and are to the memory of the men who perished in the ill-fated A CnhAAnoi* BTiirnn* o?rl tKo mon wliA XXiVbll/ kA/UWUVi uuivu, UUU vuv mvu were drowned in the wreck of the U. S. S. in the Samoan waters. The tablets are of bronze and marble, and are beautiful. They are for the most part erected to the memory of men in the naval service, who were killed or drowned while performing some heroic deed. One is erected to Commander Charles McDongae, who was burned to death in a hotel tire in New York city, while trying to rescue a child from the flames; another to a young lieutenant, who was killed by pirates in Mexico; still another to the otticers and sailors who were lost on the Huron. We have not space to tell the thrilling narration to be drawn from the few words carved upon these simple but impressive monuments erected to perpetuate the memory of fallen heroes. The next points of interest to be visited are the new armory, the new main barracks (in process of building,) the new seamanship building, with the boathouses, officers' club room and gun shed. These we will visit next, and see all that visitors are allowed to see. One must bear in mind, however, that a visitor is not allowed the privilege of seeing and knowing as much as a person attached to the navy. [To be continued.] News from Olar. Olar, September 15.?Miss Mattie Matthews, after spending her summer vacation at home in Williston, has returned to her position with Mr. C. F. Rizer. Mr. J. U. Morris made a flyiug trip to Savannah, Ga., last week. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Scheider left for their home at White Oak, Ga., Sunday morning. Mr. Scheider has been agent and operator here for some time, and has our best wishes in his new home. Mr. T. P. Rhodes, formerly of Allendale, succeeds Mr. Scheider as agent here. The Olar graded school opened Monday, September 7th, with Mr. W. M. Oxner, of Leesville, as principal, and Miss Kitty Hooton as tirst assistant and Mrs. W. B. Cave second assistaut.

The ladies of the Olar Baptist church gave an ice cream festival at the residence of Mrs. D. M. McNab last Tuesday evening. Quite a large crowd of young folks were present, and the occasion was an unusual pleasure for all in attendance. The exercises consisted first of a cake walk, in which Miss Gussie Free and Fred Free were awarded the cake. Next a cake was voted for the most popular young lady iu the audience, and Miss Ida Bessiuger received the highest number of votes. The net receipts were about $45.00, which will be used for carpeting and lighting the church. Rev. T. J. Sandifer was unanimously called to the pastorate of the Baptist church here at a conference held last Saturday. This is his second year; he has done great work during the past year.

It has been in use for over thirty years, during which time j many million bottles have been sold and c used. It has long been the standard and q main reliance in the treatment of croup ^ in thousands of homes, yet during this j time no case has ever been reported to t the manufacturers in which it failed to t effect a cure.

J Shoes and slippers have played an im- c portant part in history and tradition. An c instructive collection of historic footgear u is shown in The Delineator for October, r including dress slippers of Marie Antoi- ] nette and many other quaint, curious spec imens of bygone centuries. The shoes or the present day represent a great advance t in the quality of comfort, it would seem, but in elaboration and artistic ornamen- ^ tation they must yield to the footwear of t earlier times. The shoes of the fourteenth century were guilded or engraved ornate- t ly. Ladies' shoes of the fifteenth century were wooden, curiously carved. The t seventeenth century was most prolific in the different styles of shoes produced, and the materials from which they were fasliioued were the richest. The shoes of the . Orient have always been extremely } elaborate. _ . A Purgative Pleasure. ( If you ever took DeWitt's Little Early * Risers for biliousness or constipation, j you know what a purgative pleasure is. ?

Rr chmond, V a., September 14.?Thirtytwo fine milch cows owned by Mr. J. G. 8 Linsley, of Henrico, were killed by an ( incoming passenger on the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad. Engineer Charles Demain had blown ? the whistle as usual for the crossing at J Hunslet, but as the train thundered around the curve a herd of 100 or more cows rushed on the track. They were terror-stricken, aud, iustead of fleeing 1 from the danger, huddled together. The ] train, which could not be stopped, plowed ( through the cattle, tearing and grinding ( their bodies to pieces. Blood, bone ana ] beef were scattered in- all directions and i the wheels were clogged with bones, hoofs i and hides. One cow was thrown in the t air and landed on the third coach. The < horrified passengers thought there had < been a head-on collision. No human being was hurt in the carriages. ] Beautiful Women. i Pluirp cheeks, flushed with the soft ' glow of health and a pure complexion, ] make all women beautiful.

I College Hazers Fired On by a "Rat" i Opelika, Ala., Sept 14.?A fusilade of j shots and a badly wounded man were the results of an attempt to haze some new studeuts at the Alabama Polytechnic ( Institute at Auburn Thursday night. The j facts have just leaked out and are'creating considerable interest. Rumors of new J students, who are called "rats," being 1 rolled in fresh mortar or drenched with syrup or who have other indignities heaped upon them, are also spoken of. Thursday night a young man called "Monk" < Landrum, who is not a student now, led j a crowd of old students in pursuit of a < new one to haze kim. Visions of a possi- j ble beating or other iudignity being i heaped upon him caused the new student < to ilee.
