Hi - &,
PROSPEROUS BLACKVILLE. |
\nother One of the Low Country's Thriving
Little Cities Which is Co ming to the Front !
On Friday last I dropped myself at
Blackville, a lively little city in Barnwell
bounty. From what I could gather Black- ]
cille seems to be enjoying an era of prosperity.
The Southern railroad lines from
Columbia to Jacksonville and from Au
grusta to Charleston cross here, making it
a central trading point for a large section J
Df country.
The town is regularly laid off with (
broad streets which are beautifully shaded.
There are a number of handsome 5
residences in town which are adorned
with beautiful flower yards. The stores '
contain large and carefully-selected stocks
of goods which are marked at prices that
compare with Charleston and Augusta.
The only manufacturing enterprise in
town is a hosiery mill, which employs
quite a number of hands.
The town also has a bank which is in a
prosperous condition. The graded school
is presided over by Prof. W. B. West,
whom I found to be a clever and sociable
gentleman. Assisted by an able corps of
teachers Prof. West is accomplishing a
great deal in advancing the educational
interests of the town and surrounding
communr.y.
On account of the busy season I met
only a few farmers in town, who stated
that their prospects were bright for the
future. The cotton acreage in that section
has not been increased to any con
sideraoie extern ana mey expeui guuu
prices this fall. They will continue to
raise their "hog and hominy" and live at
home. Knowing that the farmer is the
bone and sinew of the country it is a
pleasure to converse with him and learn
how independent he is regardless of how
the affairs of the world wag along.
In looking about for lodging I was
directed to the Rush House and felt
at home as soon as I clasped hands with
Col. Rush, the genial proprietor. Col.
Rush seems to take a special interest in
looking after the accommodation of his
guests, and all who stop with him are
treated with the kindest hospitality. His
house is first-class in every respeot. The j
rooms are clean and attractive and the
table is supplied with the best the market
affords and prepared in a style to tempt
the appetite of the most fastidious.
The citizens of Blackville are kind,
sociable and progressive. They are fair
and honest in their business transactions
and enjoy a lucrative patronage from a
large area of the adjoining counties. The 1
Herald's cause was presented and was
met with a liberal response. Those people
know what a good newspaper and
fine job printing at ldw prices mean to
them and they did not hesitate to take
advantage of the same.

fifty years ago, our firm began selling
paint through the South; sales have continued
uninterruptedly, and ten times
greater than any other brand of paint. (

Ehrhardt Etchings.
Ehrhardt, May 2?Farmers are com- c
plaining of poor stands of cotton, the cold .
weather causing it to die out as fast as it
lomes up. Crops are exceedingly backward
this spring, owing to the unfavorable
seasons that we have had so far, but
we hope that the yield will be great nevertheless,
and not leave the country in ,
trpnpral in snrh bad shane financially.
5 ? r~ ? - j
A good rain would be fine on theyoung
crops in this section, as in some places ^
the farmers say their lands are very dry.
The memorial last Friday was well at- |
tended from this place. It was a decided ,
success this year, although there were not
as many present as generally attend .The
speeches were fine, followed by an abund- .
ant spread of the most tempting viands ,
that the heart could wish. Even the candidates
(and there were lots of them present)
were satisfied. After dinner a numerous
handshaking was indulged in by
everybody (and the candidates too) after
which farewells were said and the old
surviving heroes wended their ways
homeward, their minds filled with memories
of 40 years ago when the brave soldiers
buried on the grounds fell in defense of
their homes at Rivers' bridge. Another
day has come and gone, but the deeds of
those honored soldiers, who gave their
lives for their country, still live and always
will.
We are glad to say that those on the
sick list are improving rapidly.
Speakers hava been secured for the Mt.
Pleasant Sunday-school picnic and funds <
for refreshments raised, so those who attend
are assured of a good time.
Fish fries will soon be the order of the \
day, and then angling for "Jacks" by the
ladies and catching "Mollies" by the
young men will be the game played to a ,
finish.

Blackville News. ,
Blackville, April 30?The Blackville j
lodge, A F M, conferred the Master's <
degree od six candidates Wednesday and <
Thursday nights of this week, and celebrated
the occasion with one of the most <
elaborate banquets ever given here last :
night.
Over 100 guests were present. Among
them, many of the distinguished Masons
from the neighboring towns.
The ladies of the refreshment committee
earned great credit ::or the pleasant and
efficient manner in which the spread was
prepared and served.
White and green were the prevailing
colors and the decorations showed to a
very pleasing effect in the beautifully
lighted hall.
Grand Master Jno R Bellinger responded
in a very happy speech to the presentation
by Dr R A Gy .es on behalf of the
lodge and the ladies of a handsome cake
bearing the monogram "A F 31."
The school here will close on the week
of May commencing with the 15th. Mr.

management of Pre f W B West and his
able teachers.
The young ladies of the Leap Year club
entertained their young men friends at

several handsome prizes were given.
The asparagus shipment from here has
been very heavy this season, many days
the planters loaded a solid express car.
The cantelope acreage here is very
good, though not quite so large as last

It is very probable that a district normal
school for teachers will be located 1
here this summer for Bamberg, Barnwell 1

teachers will have a central point and a '
better school. Tfce Blackville people
promise to make it pleasant for the teachers

S. G. MAYFIELD WITHDRAWS.
T. G. Croft, of Aiken, Will be Democratic Nom>
inee for Congress. <
The State Democratic executive comnittee,
or the members from the second
congressional district, met in Columbia (
ast Friday night and officially declared
he result of the recent congressional prinary.
The official vote was: T. G. Croft,
1,997; S. G. Mayfield, 1,706; L. J. Williams, <
1,482; Patterson, 1,174. Croft needed 229 !
rotes to have a majority over all the i
jthers and be nominated in this primary. :
Mayfield and Croft were declared the <
official candidates of the party in the prinary
to be held next Saturday, May 7th.
There have been rumors ever since the
primary that Mayfield would withdraw
ind give young Croft an open field for
die unexpired term of his father, on account
of the large vote polled by Croft, it
being clear that almost a majority of the
voters wanted the young man to have this
unexpired term.
Last Saturday afternoon this action
was taken by Senator Mayfield, who wrote
the following letter to Wilie Jones, chairman
of the State Democratic executive
committee:
"Sir- T hsvp this riAv rlpoirlpH t.r> with
draw and do hereby withdraw from the
race for congress in the second congressional
district in the second primary. By
so doing I save to the people a contest for
the unexpired term at the time when they
are exceedingly busy and yield-to my opponent,
Mr. Theodore G. Croft, who has
received almost a majority of all votes
cast in the first primary, an open field."
Letter to L A. Klauber, Bamberg, S. C.
Dear Sir: It's an old saying: the best
advertisement is a pleased customer.
It happens to us continually in this
way: A man buys Devoe for his househe
has painted it once in three years for a
dog's-age, and thinks he knows what he
wants?buys 30 gallons, and has 10 left.
He sees right-off that 20 Devoe is as
much as 30 of anything else. He likes
that; it comes quick; it is a surprise; and
he tells of it. The best advertisement is a
pleased customer.
Three years roll round. There isn't a
sign that his house needs paint; he don't
paint it. Next year he don't paint it.
This comes slow; it is a surprise; but he
has got used to it. Still the best advertisement
is a pleased customer.
Yours truly

White Man Kills a Negro.
Barnwell, April 27.?Mr. J. Lawton
Ellis shot and killed Tom Badger yesterday
near Baldock, in this county.
Mr. Ellis is one of the most prominent
and well known men here; Badger is a
negro.
This negro was living near the plantation
of Mr. Ellis and was a notorious and
desperate character. The day before the
homicide the negro went into Mr. Ellis'
field, where a large force of hands were
it work, and so deported himself there
as to make it necessary for Mr. Ellis to
order him out. He refused to leave, became
very insolent and assaulted Mr. Ellis
who, having no weapon with which to
defend himself, left the field for the house,
armed himself and returned, but the negro
had gone.
Yesterday, before breakfast, the negro
went to Mr. Ellis' home, armed with a
shotgun, and as Mr. Ellis came out of his
front gate the negro drew up his gun to
fire on him when Mr. Ellis killed him.
Expressions of sympathy are heard on
all sides for Mr. Ellis, for no man living
would more regret taking human life than
he, and but for the direst necessity would
would not have done so.

Magistrate Kills Lawyer in Manning.
Manning, May 2.?S. M. Youmans,
magistrate at Manning, shot and instantly
killed John R. Keels, a lawyer, la.ely
from Sumter, this afternoon.
The shooting occurred under the court
house portico while Judge Purdy was
holding court upstairs.
Five balls entered Keels' chest just
below the throat, four going through
the body. Keels fell under the eaves
while the rain was dripping off the court
house. The difficulty was not unexpected
as the parties had trouble thirty days ago
&K<\iit a rrmlp
Keels was known to be a desperate
man and Youmans was equally as dangerous
when aroused.
Several witnesses saw the killing,
among them Clerk of Court Tiinmons,
who saw Keels strike at Youmans and
:hen Youmans commenced firing. Youmans
immediately walked into the
sheriff's office and surrendered and is
now in jail.
The coroner died yesterday and the
inquest is being held by Magistrates Richburg
and Bateman.
