egular meeting of Bamberg lodge,
Knights of Pythias, was held last
ay evening, at which Grand Master
ns Joe A. Berry, of Orangeburg,
resent to make the lodge an official
is the representative of the Grand
jellor. Bro. Berry's visit was for
irpose of seeing what progress this
was making and bow much interest
Iauu eniuusutsui was oemg suown uy me
officers aad mem berg. W e regret that he
found the lodge ia such poor condition.
He was called on for a speech during the
lodge meeting, and although he had a very
small audience, he made a rattling good
talk on the principles of Pythianism.
Gen. Jno. B. Gordon lectured at the
Fitting School chapel in Bamberg last
Thursday evening to a good sized audience.
His subject was "The Last Days
of the Confederacy," a lecture which he
has delivered many times in both the
North and South. It was well received
here, and our people were very much
pleased. The receipts of the entertainment
were not enough to pay the expenses,
and the committee who were in charge
of the lecture will lose some money.
These gentlemen took the matter in hand
not to make money but to give our people
an opportunity to hear one of the great
generals of the Confederacy on a subject
dear to us all. That they should lose
money on account of it is to be regretted.

The Masonic lodge here will have fcn

evening. There should he a full attendance
of the brethren. '
Mr. N. P. Smoak has purchased the
I plantation in Fishpond township, known
as the A. J. Hunter place. It contains
230 acres, and he bought it from the
iEquitable Security Co., of New York.
The Woman's Foreign Missiouary
Society will hold its regular monthly
meeting at the residence of Mrs. Henry
Bamberg Tuesday next, November 3rd.
A large attendance is earnestly desired.
Mr. Otis Brabham, who has been at the
Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore for
treatment, is expected home the latter
part of this week. We regret to state
that he is not much, if any, better. The
physicians there only put his back in a
new plaster of Paris jacket.
Mr. Chas. E. Chambliss, the State Entomologist
from Clemson College, was here (
last Monday for the purpose of inspect-1
iug the stock of the Bamberg Nurseries, j
He found all the trees and plants free
from disease and issued to the proprie- j
tors a certificate to that effect.
Tne Herald Book Store has just received
a stock of the celebrated Waterman's
Ideal Fountain Pens. This pen is
fully guaranteeed, and is the only satisfactory
writer we have ever usetl. The
price is $2.50, and they are worth every
cent of it. We have them in all styles
and points?can suit any hand. Come in
and see them.
Mr. and Mrs. S. P. J. Garris have the
sincere sympathy of their many friends in
their recent bereavement. Their infant
son died at their home in this city last
Monday afternoon. The little one was a
little over a year old, and had been sick
for several weeks. It was to have been
carried to Charleston on Sunday for treatment,
but was too ill to be moved. The
little fellow was a namesake of his uncle,
Hon. C. W. Garris, railroad commissioner.
The body was carried to Smoaks, Colleton
couuty,Tuesday morning and interred
there in the family cemetery.
In conversation Tuesday afternoon with
a gentleman who lives along the route of
the proposed new road to Hunter's Chapel
we find that the people in that section are j
still at work on the matter. Rights of i
? ?? ~ 11 I
way have been secured irom neariy uu
those whose lands are crossed, and it is
confidently expected that the few remaining
land-owners will also donate the right
of way. Our merchants here should give
their co-operation to the building of this j
road, for they receive a good trade from
that section of the county. Those people
down there are willing to do their part,
now let Bamberg do what she ought to
and can in the matter. One man will not
only give the right of way, but will donate
$50 to the road as well. Surely the
merchants here, who will be directly benefitted
by the road, will meet half way such
public spirit as that.
The Cotton Market.
Cotton is selliug in Bamberg to-day
(Wednesday) at 10? cents the pound.
Receipts of the week, 350 bales.
The tfraded School.
The first grade of the graded school is
so crowded that no more pupils can be
accommodated this year. Nearly all the
other grades are full. For the first month
there was an average attendance of one
hundred and ninety-three per day. There
are now enrolled about two hundred and
thirty pupils.

mr. v- whs ijv his
last Monday night about dark atiu
right painfully injured. He was out at
his lot attending to his stock for the night
and his horse was playing around loose
and kicking up its heels. It being dark
at the time, the horse did not see that Mr.
Hartzog was so near, and iu this way he
was struck. The animal is a very gentle
one, and not vicious at all, and Mr. Hartzog
has no idea it attempted to kick him.
He was struck in the right side by the
hind heels and knocked dowu. He was
not able to get to the house, aud had to
j be carried in. Physicians were at once
j called in and his injuries attended to.
While he is painfully hurt, it is not
thought that his injuries are serious, and
he is doing nicely at this writing, although
it will be several days before he is able to
be out.

Letter Prom l)r. Evans.
In response to the letter of Col. Jno.
F. Folk to Governor D. C. Hey ward, in
reference to the uumber of cases of hemorrhagic
fever in the lower part of this and
the upper part of Colleton county, the
following letter has been received by Col.
Folk from Dr. James Evans, secretary of
the State Board of Health. It will be
noticed that Dr. Evans says that a certain
kind of mosquito is largely responsible
for the fever, so it would be wise action
to attempt to rid that section of these
pests. Even if those who are attacked by
this fever take the precautions mentioned
in his letter, the malady might be very
much decreased:
Florence, S. C., October 21,1903.
Col. John F. Folk, Bamberg, S. C.? ,
Your letter of the 17th instant to Governor
Heyward has been referred to me
for reply. Hemorrhagic fever is a malignant
form of malaria, and a particular
variety of mosquito is usually the medium
through, which the infection or poisoq is
introduced into the human system. This
mosquito usually feeds at night and not

of any person with this fever and t/hen
bites another person in perfect health the
latter will sooner or later have an attack.
Every one sufferiug from this pernicious
fever should be isolated in a room, :ever\
window and door of which should bprotected
with netted wire, and the ad
ditional precaution taken of placing th?
patient under a pavilion, so that no motquito
can reach him or her. Everyboty
living in a sectiou where the fever pjc.
vails should go into their houses before
sunset and never come out until af;er
sunrise, in other words protect themselves
against mosquitoes.
I will forward your letter to Di. T.

President of the State Board of Health,
for his consideration. Yours truly,

A Bright BambergBtoy Defends the
Labor Trusfv
Los Angeles, Cal., October 20,1903.
Editor The Bamberg Herald.
Dear Sir: I notice in your sheet an
editorial squib to the effect that ''labor
unions are blind and unreasoeing" and
that "no trust can compare with them for
lawlessness and a reckless disregard of
* * * ? i- e - AL - nmhio'c
tDerigUlsoi owieis, uuu iuat vwiuuw.>. w
business men should stand together and
put down unionism in that city."
Allow me as a member of a labor union
to offer a few words in defense of the
cause , as I am of the opinion that you
have not given the matter careful consideration,
as you state you have had no
personal experience, but have doubtless
formed your opinion from prejudiced
newspaper editorials. In the first place,
you err when you place unions in the
same category as trusts. In speaking of
trusts we generally mean several parties
who have entered into an agreement to
keep prices of a certain commodity to a
certain point. This certain point has
generally been several degrees higher
than was necessary to properly conduct
their business and allow a legitimate
profit, and the public was taxed to keep
up watered stock, etc. In a word, taxed
because they could be and could not help
themselves?up to }the present time. In
this way large amounts of money have
been gathered up from the public "with
a reckless disregard for. the rights of
others."
In Washington it is well known that
no laws are made that regulate anything
that materially benefits the toiling masses.
In spite of Teddy's streuuosity, the
trusts still live and the eight hour day
law, designed to benefit the laborer and
to relieve the unions from the necessity
-f ?'oo nnrnnsti
Ol btUMIlg IU1 It,j n no uwiuivu
tutional. Nothing is done in Washington
to equalize matters in this world of
strife. It seetns that our statesmen, senators,
etc , sent there to run and regulate
things and make the government equally
just for the rich and poor alike, do nothing
save to retard those who are trying to
make the world better.
Out of this conglomeration of incomprehensible
nonsense was born labor
unions, and they are necessary to protect
labor against the encroachments of ag-^
graudized wealth and to take the place of
laws that should have been made in Washington.
Most of the wealthy have slight regard i
for the people?they are looking out; for i
themselves. They insist on classing hu- i
man beings as a commodity, like any raw
material that is necessary to conduct their 1
busiuess?to be purchased as cheap as <
possible. 1
Labor uuions say to the capita/ist, "human
beings are deserving of beiig class- <
ed as human and not mules." '?
We have had no drought in this couu- 1
try, the land is yielding large qrantlties i
of those commodities that are luc^eary
for the wants of man, and the wbde,oun- ?
try is seeing a great wave of pjob,erityr

quirements of a civipd a?d intelligent
being, and not an i >me based on the u
generosity of the\joying class. E
I have worked:fc?e South, where or- b
ganization is in Jinlfancy, and am now ti
working in the t West, where labor is "i
solfiIi^.r^?i*e(at)d the result of this ti
organization is igty gratifying to all d
concerned. Thrsaaries paid railroad V
employees, for isttjce, are double and C
in some branch^ ufcrly triple what they a:
are in the South; ^ter wages, treatment, tl

"snide" prop<Mgit}j? It will be a happy E
day for the ?>^hen its people awake n
to the realiz??%f the fact that poor C
wages never I ?dt anybody but a few
large emplo^bf labor. " r
To show *? the generosity (?) of the f<
employing.ass, I rail your attention to v

systems w.? ?ave instructed tiieir ononis i u

that they bye been cruelly wrr

that thej&re honorable (?) men,
they an right (?) in fighting o
labor, fir- their meanness in tryi
a moref.st proportion of the weaitu iu?.
labor p?duces. There isn't enough of it i
to goaitund, and besides, Miss Uuamer- s
icau ia&t have thirty millions in order J
that si; may buy herself a foreign title.
Whtti rare flower consistency is with i
sojie people! t
it Editor, I hate to see you approve j
o: a Condition that means poverty and 5
lard%iip for the masses and wealth and 1
for the classes. It grieves me to t
s?? Jou turn your guns on the weak and 1
weaken organization, which is the (
onh hope the laboring man has under the
pre en t social system. i
m regard to your statement that "labor 1
D^ons are responsible for more lawless- '
n?5s than any other organization on i
e?rtb," I dare say this is overdrawn. It |
istrue that members of unions have done
s?me lawless acts while on strike, but i
i ore often in time of strike the toughs i
find criminal classes take this as a chosen I
time to commit lawless acts, and of course .
t is always laid at the door of the strikers.
: cite you to the strike of the Richmond ;
street car meu. Theu, again, it is also
true that members of churches and believers
in God have committed some terrible
crimes. Members of the bar and men in
all other vocations of life, and occasionally
one of those gentle capitalists, is
caught violating the law, but of course
that is hushed up as soon as possible.
Human nature is stronger than platitudes
of philosophy, and no law concocted by
man has ever been able to chauge it. Human
nature violates God's laws, and I
wish to say on behalf of organized labor
that we are unable to change this nature
on short notice; it must be gradual and in
accordance with the laws of evolution.
But I defy any man to cite me a case
where the by-Jaws of any labor organization,
sanction murder, rioting, or the
breaking of the law in any way.
Every good citizen should be prepared
to invoke the law's power on those who
j violate it, but too often is a labor leader
! pronounced a "bad man" because he can't
be controlled by the capitalists. John
Mitchell and Samuel Gompersare said by
the designing rich to be "bad men;" and in
the eyes of those who would euslave the
masses "bad meu" are plentiful, and
"organizations that are conducted on the
right principles" are those who have
"good men" at the head of them?that is,
men who are cringing aud pliable and
who bow their heads in humble submission
to unjust conditions aud applaud
them.
I dare say it will be a long time before
trades unionism will perish from these
United States, surely never before our
ad Hon
CCIES, 1
is part of the count
law makers tune their ears to the cries of ,
distress and want coming from the poor i
and needy and stop .listening to the siren '
song of the wealthy and the merry tinkle
of the almighty dollar.
You say, "if the business men of Columbia
do not stand together and crush
out unionism the growth of that city will
be very much retarded." Take Los
Angeles and San Francisco, if you will,
and compare their growth with any two
cities of the South of their size, and you
will readily perceive union labor has done
an untold amount of good for these two
cities. The mayor and city officers of g
San Francisco were elected on the union
labor ticket, and this city has receutly
seen a wave of prosperity that has never
before been paralleled in her history. I
am personally acquainted with the con- *
dition of affairs there, and know whereof n
I speak. w
In conclusion, will say that as long as h
the present social system lasts, with d
trusts and monopolies on every hand and o
the rich oppressing the poor, just so long V
will the laboring classes continue to si
organize and demand a fair share of the n
fruits of their labor. tl
Hoping this will serve to some degree o<
to change the stand you have taken ai
against organized labor, and wishing you b
the compliments of the season, I am, ta

appreciated. At no time was a lack of
interest apparent even from the most unappreciative.

GIVES VIGOE AND

EM DOWN WOMEN.
It is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of a nation depends
uich upon the physical condition of its
omen. The general conditions which conibute
to health and long life, are those which
o not imply a rapid and unequal exhaustion
f those powers by which life is maintained. |
^hile we assert that the women of our land !
:and peerless for beauty and the virtues that j
lake them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
lat there are thousands in our midst who, .
wing to overwork, worry, household cares, i
i)d an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
ecome weak, nervous, sleepless, and debiliited.
We bring to the attention of all weary,
espondent, hopeless, and sickly women
irth's great rescuer and health builder,
aine's Celery Compound. Thousands of
ealthy women around us owe their present
gor, activity, and robustness to Paine's
elery Compound. Mrs. Stephen Smith, St.
aul, Minn., tells how she was snatched from
le grave; she says:?
" I had a bad attack of la grippe this spring
id was at death's door, and no one ever
mected me to recover. I wn? weak that
> soon as they brought me out of one faint
was in another. I could not take any
ourishment, and doctors' medicines did me
3 good. A friend advised my husband to
it me a bottle of Paine's Celery Compound,
hich he did, but had no faith in it. The
icond day after taking the Compound, I
igan to get real hungry and took an interest
i things. I had everything that money and
ving care could supply, and with that and
aine's Celery Compound, I am now doing
y own work, while three months ago I was
most in the grave. I know that I owe my
:alth and strength to Paine's Celery Com>und,
and shall always recommend it."
