The United States senate may be "the

The congressional primary election is
to be held on Saturday, April 23rd, and
4 the State convention is to be held in Columbia
on Wednesday, May 18th.
' What has become of Bamberg's baseball
cranks? As the ball season is on
they should "get a move on" and prepare
themselves to meet all challengers.
The congressional campaign meeting
for this county is to be held here tomorrow
(Thursdav). A large crowd should
greet Senator Mayfield in his home counMr.
George H. Walter, a son of Capt.
E. R. Walter, of the Fork section of Orangeburg
county, graduated at the recent
commencement of the Charleston Medical
College.

Bamberg has the distinction of being
situated on the oldest railroad in the
United States. Perhaps it is one of the
causes of her phenomenal growth and
Ipruapei iiy.
A mercantile agency publishes the fact
that 84 per cent of the merchants who
failed last year did not advertise. There
ought to be a suggestion in this for those
whom it concerns.
With good schools, plenty of churches,
unsurpassed health and all kinds of
business enterprises, Baipberg's gates are
open to all new-comers, to whom a cor-dial
welcome isaccorded.
A charter was granted by the secretary
of State last Monday to the Farmers' Cotton

Moore, president; W. D. Barnes, secretary,
and the Bank of Brunson, treasurer.

We can furnish The Bamberg Herald

$1.70, or for $2.00 we will give you both
publications and your choice of a hand,
some cloth bouud book, by a popular
" author.
The congressional campaign meeting
will be held in Bamberg to-day. Let everybody
turn out and hear the candidates
and on the 23rd vote for the one who

The State board of dispensary directors
has decided to give to the city of Charleston
her part of the dispensary profits
~ which have been withheld for several
months. The amount the city will receive
is about $5,000.
? ' Col. Jno. F. Folk, of this city, will not
make the race for State treasurer this
year, although he has had many inducements
from prominent people in various
parts of the State. He will stand for reelection
as treasurer of Bamberg county.

We stated last week that members of
, the county Democratic executive committee
had voted themselves a salary of
one dollar for every meeting which they
attended. We were mistaken in this
I They are to get one dollar each per year
provided the money is in the treasury.

Rev. W. R. Richardson, of Spartanburg,
editor of the Southern Christian Advocate,
was to have preached in the Methodist
church here last Sunday, but he
was unable to come on account of the illness
of his wife. He wrote, however,
that he expected to be here next Sunday,
the 17th.

A desperate negro prisoner tried to
burn himself out of the Edgefield jail last
Thursday night, but was suffocated before
he accomplished his object. When the
alarm of fire was given and his cell door
opened he was found lying dead on the
floor. Little damage was done, as the fire
had only burnt a hole through the floor.
Just received, another lot of those
beautiful waist goods at W. D. Rhoad's.
On account of the complications which
had arisen in the matter of announcements
of county candidates, we have decided
to charge only three dollars. This
course was decided oa, not because the
work is not worth more, but because of
1 lack of uniformity in rates. We did not
want any man to be debarred from running
for office on account of the expense
if we could avoid it.
If those people who borrow this newspaper
of their neighbors would only in- j
vest $1.00 a year they would have an
easier conscience and greatly increase our
pr!- - - subscription list. In most cases it is not
because they desire to save the dollar, but
I?;' because of the cussedness that is in them.
May God bless you, sponging reader, and
soften your heart and loosen your pocket
book, is the prayer of ye poof editor.
'Black Death,' sure death to potato bugs,
but harmless to plants, at Dr. Hoover's.
We are not making any apologies for
the class of newspaper we are giving the
public. Our ever-increasing subscription
list shows that we are, to use a slang
phrase, "delivering the goods." If, howfever,
our friends and neighbors could
make up their minds to be a little more
friendly and a little more neighborly, and
report social and local happenings to us,
we could, perhaps, serve them a little
better. Let us have the news and we will
print it. We are equipped for that purpose
and wish to serve you.
A very pleasant meeting of Bamberg
lodge, Knights of Pythias, was held last
Monday evening, at which the rank of
Page was conferred upon Mr. William C.
Owen, assistant Head Master at the Carlisle
Fitting school. There were present
several visiting brethren from the Ehrhardt
lodge, whom we were delighted to
have with us. A. W. Knight and W. D.
Rhoad were elected as delegates to the
grand lodge which meets in Greenville
on Tuesdav, May 18th, with Dr. J. B.
Black and Jt)ecania Dowling as alternates.

Senator Mayfield created a sensation
at the Barnwell meeting Tuesday by
charging that the dispensary influence
was being used against him.
There are not many people from the
country attending court. Those who are

busy to attend unless compelled to.

At the Bantist church in this citv there

Lawson, the pastor, will be assisted by
Rev. W. T. Tate, of Belton, S. C. Two
services a day will be held, and the hours
of assembling will be announced later.
It is said that Governor Heyward is
already being asked to commute the sentence
of Adams, the white man from
Colleton county, convicted of murder and
sentenced to death. We trust the governor
will not do anything of the kind.
The man deserves his fate, and the sentence
of the court should not be interfered
with. Twelve men of his own race have
found him guilty.

There was no striking of sensational
testimony in the case against John Love,
the white man who was tried Tuesday for
murder. All the evidence was circumstantial,
going to show that he was last
seen in company with Lucas. No quarrel
and no motive for the killing was shown,
and no pistol was found on Love or in his
buggy, when he was arrested soon after
the fatal shot was fired. Two white men
testified to a negro running into the railroad
car the same night and saying he
had shot a negro: This is the same -story
published in The Herald last week, going
to show that a negro who was working
on the railroad material train, killed
Lucas, this train being in the siding at
Denmark the same night.

Cornerstone Laying.
The town of Branchville is making enthusiastic
preparations for the laying of
the cornerstone of the new Methodist
church, and fifteen different committees
of ladies have been appointed to look after
the various details of the occasion. Dinner
will be served by these good women,
who will see to it that every one has a
good time. A very large crowd is expected,
and all efforts are tending to insure
this day being the most notable in the
history of the town. The stone laying
ceremonies will take place at eleven
o'clock Friday morning, the 15th instant.
Bishop W. W. Duncan will be in charge
of these exercises and will deliver an
address. The Masons, Knights of Pythias,
and Woodmen of the World, all of
which have lodges in Branchville., will
attend the cornerstone laying.
At night the Branchville Masonic lodge
will have a great occasion. The Master's
degree is to be conferred, and Bishop
Duncan will deliver an address to the assembled
brethren. All the neighboring
lodges have been invited to attend, and it
is probable that a number will go from
here. Grand Master Jno. R. Bellinger
will attend if his duties at the court will
permit.
Of course the usual banquet will be
served, and the Branchville brethren say
this will be the largest affair yet given.
So we who have been there before snow
what that means.

WHITE MAN TO HANG
The Appeal of R. A. Adams to the State Supreme
Court Availed Nothing.
The appealed case of R. A. Adams, a
white man, for the crime of murder, was
decided by the State Supreme Court last
Monday. Associate Justice C. A. Woods
confirmed the circuit court, which had
sentenced Adams to be hung.
R. A. Adams, the man who will now be
again condemned to death, was indicted
with W. B. Adams and Henry Hoff foi
the murder of Henry Jaques. They were
tried in March, 1903, in Colleton county,
where the crime was committed, and W,
B. Adams and Hoff were acquitted. R. A,
Adams was convicted and sentenced tc
death by Judge Ernest Gary, his execution
to take place June o, 1903. A motion
for a new trial made by his attorneys was
overruled. Appeal was taken on -the
ground that certain evidence was not admitted
and that Judge Gary had not been
sufficiently explicit in his charge to the
jury.
R. A. Adams and Henry Jaques met in
the public road Feb. 11,1903, and Adams
shot the other. On Jan. 4th, of the same
year, in the yard of Adams, Adams had
been shot by Jaques for alleged impropei
language to some of the members ol
Jaques's family. The issue on trial, says
opinion of Justice Woods, was whethei
Adams killed Jaques in self defense or in
revenge.
He deals with the exceptions made by
the appellant's attorneys and finally affirms
the decision of Judge Gary and remands
the case so that a new day may be
set for the execution of Adams. Justice
E. B. Gary filed a dissenting opinion.
This case was argued in the supreme
court by Assistant Attorney General W.
H. Townsend for the State, and Messrs.
Howell & Gruber and J. M. Walker foi
Adams.

Officer Shot a Blind Tiger.
Charleston, April 7.?John Sullivan,
an employe of K Sotille, in this city, was
shot and perhaps fatally wounded by s
dispensary constable last night. This is
the first homicide of the kind in Governoi
Heyward's administration. When the
dispensary law was enacted Charleston
thought it an outrage on the liberty of the
citizens there, and the unwavering moral
sentiment against the law has made its
enforcement difficult. The barkeepers
denied the right of license, continued in
bnsiness in daring and flagrant opposition
to the law, just as the moonshiners think
the Federal law is unjust.
There have been many clashes in
Charleston, but heretofore no homicides
at the hands of constables. Sottille is the
Italian consul and conducts a care neai
the postoffice.
Sullivan and two negroes had gone tc
Mount Pleasant, across the harbor, when
the liquor in bulk seems to have beer
stored. There ^hey were met by Con
stables Owens and Hudson, who confis
cated a boatload of liquor. Sullivan start
ed to the city but came back and attackec
the constables with an oar. It is statec1
that Hudson did the shooting, but botli
constables'are in jail. Hudson had beer
chief of police of Walterboro, Govemo::
Heyward's home town, and has a good
reputation.
