PROGRESSIVE BAMBERG. te A New Resident is Very Much Impressed With the Town and People, is While other towns in the State are 9 :h boasting of their booms Bamberg is not ;k lagging behind in the march of progress, e. Every business enterprise in town is in b- a prosperous condition, while improve>f ments are constantly in progress. Many >e buildings are in course of erection and i- the population is steadly increasing, d Our citizens have long since realized the st fact that this is a progressive age and are s- working harmoniously together for the I is upbuilding of the town, and it is gratify:e iug to them to see their efforts followed n by good results. We take pleasure in publishing the following letter, which i- appeared in last week's issue of the Lex e ington Dispatch. The writer, who is s, connected with The Herald force, has st only been a resident of Bamberg a few b, weeks and is delighted with the town i- and people: >f "To the average Lexingtonian who has g become imbued with a rambling disposie tion it is always a pleasure to receive the ;e Dispatch as it brings news from the "old h folks at home," and causes his memory to j. revert to the days of his youth which are long since past and gone. My memory g ruminates upon those halcyon days this y balmy spring evening as I feebly endeavtg or to pen a few lines for your columns. 0. "Although some distance from the red it hills and sandy plains of Lexington, I do not consider that I am "a stranger in a strange land," for one has only to be a r. resident of the hustling little city of Bamberg a few days to realize that he is among a kind, generous and hospitable people, whose homes present cheerfulness and a hearty welcome to all. Bamberg is one of je the thriving towns of the lower country, io wun a ciuzensmp mat wonts 111 uariuouy jj for the interest and upbuilding of the j_ town. Being situated in a fine agricultural ie country the town enjoys a good trade and is a great volume of business of all kinds is J transacted. A large cotton mill, situated d in the heart of the town, furnishes emiy ployment to a large number of families t. from which source the merchants derive a lucrative trade. The town has many other industries, such as iron works, cotton oil mill, bank, smoking tobacco facie tory, two newspapers, several hotels and y boarding houses, two large buggy and :e wagon manufkctories, a graded school and 18 a higher institution of learning known as the Carlisle Fitting school of Wofford col e lege. We have several mercantile houses which are well stocked with goods that s? are sold at the lowest possible figures. The water is furnished from artesian wells and is not altogether pleasant to the i- tast of one who has never used it, but it f ' ' is said to contain mineral qualities and is considered very healthful.

MM CAMPAIGN FOR CONGRESS. | Mayfield, Croft, Williams and Patterson Spzak in Saluda?Their Respective Lines. f Saluda, April 5.?The congressional campaign opened here today. The four speakers were in good trim and a repre- 1 sentative audience greeted them in the court house. State Senator Forest presided. Mr. S. G. Mayfield spoke on questions a of state and had perfect attention. His I went over his record of 12 vears in the State senate, his work as chairman of the judiciary committee, made a special point c on trusts, favored highest prices on farm g products, textile goods and southern ] laborer's wages as a farmer. He met Mr. t Williams' argument that he (Williams) v was the only simon-pure farmer in the race by stressing the fact that Williams ( had been carrying on the biggest business in the State, the wholesale liquor trade, t Mr. T. G. Croft repelled personal attack t as to congressional precedents since 1897 of giving $5,000 to the widow of a deceas- f ed member. He spoke on ihe tariff, trusts, the Republican campaign, rural delivery, j etc. He favored appropriations for roads and threw "bouquets" at Saluda and thought Edgefield had been allowed by Barnwell to hare congressmen long ] enough. Saluda had helped in the overthrow of the carpet baggers in '76. When t Mart Gary sounded the tocsin they took < up the echo. He made out an opposition e case to trusts, expansion and imperialism. ^ Mr. L. J. Williams paid chief attention to his record as chairman of the State ; dispensary board and told why he would not remove the dispensary from Saluda. \ He spoke plainly about J. M. Hair, a Newberry man, having been imported to j campaign against him by one of the can- \ didates. He favored reducing the army \ and navy and so .reduce the pension list ? and retired oflScei's who could not fight. He showed that the rural free delivery ] system was a Democratic measure but Republicans had shown partiality in dis- i pensing it. ] Mr. J. 0. Patterson had no apologies ] to make. He had a record he was proud i of and asked pay for it in congress. If c elected he would be a business congress- ^ man and not a flowery speech maker. ( He would stand in with Republicans and i instead of worrying them would say, j "You fellows steal for your section now ^ help me steal for my people." ROBBED THE GRAVE. A startling incident, is narrated by John Oliver, of Philadelphia, as follows: "I was in awful condition. My skin was yellow, my eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters; to my joy, the first bottle made decided improvement. I continued their use three weeks, and am now well. I know they robbed the grave of another victim." ISo one should fail to try them. Only 50c, guaranteed, at J. B. Black's; H. C. Rice. A Bright Boj. Judge E. E. Gary, the chairman of the executive committee of the steel combine, used to live in the Illinois town of Wheaton. "One day in Wheaton," Judge Gary said recently, "I took dinner with a clergyman and his family. The clergyman had an eight-year-old son called Joe, and Joe was a very bright boy. " 'Look here, Joe,' I said during the course of the dinner, T have a question to ask you about your father.' "Joe looked gravely at me. " 'All right. I'll answer your question,' he said. " 'Well,' said I, 'I want to know if your father doesn't preach the same sermon twice sometimes.' " 'Yes, I think be does," said Joe, 'but the second time he always hollers*in different places from what he did the first time.' HEALTH IS YOUTH. Disease and sickness bring old age.

The officer of an English ship, and the I boatswain, who represented the crew, ^ were buying beef on the hoof for the ship's ration. An English paper says that when they approached the first steer, the s officer turned to the boatswain and asked: r "How will that do?" The boatswain cautiously went up to the steer, bent down, and ran his thumb ? down first one shank and then another.

It is now said that Lucas, the young vhite man who was shot and killed Monlav night of last week in the suburbs of )enmark, was shot by a negro, and that lis brother-in-law, John Love, is not reponsible for the killing. Love is in jail* laving been brought here Tuesday night if last week. He does not talk much bout the killing, but says he knows noth g about it. It is probable that he was so horoughly intoxicated that he does not ;now what happened. Tnoc/lotr mnrniniT r?f* tV>?Q TPApfc TVTr lerman Brown, of Blackville, talked to Iheriff Hunter over the 'phone, and inormed the sheriff that some negroes had 'oluntarily said that a negro employed >n the material train had killed Lucas. Their story is that the train was in the ide-track at Denmark that night and one >f the hands rushed into the car for his )istol, saying that he had gotten into a ow with some negroes outside. He got he pistol and ran out and soon aftervards they heard a shot. Then the negro lame running back and asked the train >oss for his time and at once skipped out tnd has not been seen since. These are :he main facts of the story as best we gathered them. Sheriff Hunter instructed Mr. Brown ;o have the negroes summoned as wit* aesses and bound over to court, in order ;hat they might be here to testify at the ;rial of Love, which will no doubt take alace at the coming term of court.

Yours truly F W Detoe & C ? 18 ' New York. in Address to the Democratic Voters of the Second Congressional District JAMES 0. PATTERSON, of Barnwell The congress of the United States is the lost august deliberative assemblage in the rorld and it is the pride of the States of he Union to send there as their represenatives and senators their most gifted ons, the highest examples of their best ivilization. As a citizen of Barnwell county, in view if the shortness of the primary campaign or the selection of a successor to the late Ion. Geo. W. Croft, and the impossibility if each candidate making himself personUy known to the majority of the voters >f the second district at this busy season if the year, when the farmer engagements if the agricultural classes will require the >resence at home of so many, and prevent heir attendance at the campaign meet ngs, we ueg iu suuimt uux icstuuuuj >ased on long acquaintance and intimacy vitb. the Hon. James 0. Patterson, of Jarnwell, a candidate for that high and esponsible position. He is Barnwell :ounty born and raised. In the old days lis father was a man of large means, bat he storm of war stripped him of much of lis possessions and it fell to his sons to nake their own ways in the world, and veil has James 0. Patterson performed lis part. On the farm he grew through busy boylood and industrious manhood and hough he has been called to another field if labor he is in closest touch and sympa;hy with the agricultural interests, the ;rue basis of prosperity, of the individual, ;he State, the Nation. His popularity at home among the people who have known him from boyhood s shown by the facts of his election twice is Judge of Probate Court and three ;imes to the House of Representatives, a record without equal since the war. His services there were most valuable and -esulted in his promotion to the most important committees, and there he measlred up to every responsibility. His life in its public, private and church -elations, has been spotless and without eproach. In bis practice of the law he has folowed the golden rule and while always oyai to ms Clients, Das oeen t most cuuliderate to those in need of the charity >f indulgence and assistance. He has lelped many, he has oppressed none, and le has constantly and consistently enleavored to add to the happiness and uosperity of his home people, and no aan in the second district has scattered nore of sunshine into the lives of others. With this knowledge of his pure life, lis devotion to duty, his professional bility, his good heart, his attractive peronality, we commend him to the voters ?f the second district as worthy of their orifidence, feeling assured that if elected o congress he will make a representative if whon* the second district will be iroud, and to the best interest of which ie will give his strongest and sincerest nergies. We judge the future by the past. His ears are without spot or failure, and so rill his future be.
