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. . \ v HHMMaiaBMaBliaHaaaBaaMljBa|M Several from here attended theme?Hng of the Barnwell Baptist Association at Georges Creek church last week. \ The Masonic lodge here will have fcn interesting meeting tomorrow (FridaY) evening.

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. Reunion Company F.

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.

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 ??

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.

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 W hy, then, should the toilers net have a t; ?"?"! diniainn ftf.Jt with-it the A necessity of strikes, etcjflKst^ 5J3? and unreasoning uiaMTjatioi f ^ capitalists that is resproble f/ > many^ strikes.

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.

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 thestock-hd^rs of several large railway t systems w.? ?ave instructed tiieir ononis i u to lay off iiA and prune every ex to the vet!(Awest in order to clear dividends! go into the coffers of t ready rkmDd you may rest assun the salar*of all unorganized emj of these A]s will be cut, notwit) ing tbetfl that living increases Let tbewdons of money now hands ortfc capitalists stand as te that they bye been cruelly wrr by the toj^rs who created it?it 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 Yours very truly, j.

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."
