fSP : - : . ' p THE BAMBERQ HERALD. j Established 1891 BAMBERG, S. C., THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1904 One Dollar a Year He Took the Early Train. A South Missouri exchange tells of a traveling man who stopped one night in a hotel in a small Ozark county town and i v asked to be called at 3:30 o'clock so that he might catch a<train, says the Kansas City Star. In order to accede to the guest's request the landlord had to remain op all night, as he had no clerk and no alarm clock. He found he had to keep awake and when 3:30 o'clock finally did come he was in a surly frame of mind. ,Knocking on the guest's door, he said: "Git up. It's 3:30." In a sleepy tone of voice the guest replied, "0. I guess I'll let that train go and sleep till 7 o'clock.' ' ,, "Well, I guess not," said the landlord. Iir nn all ni<rht to ffit VOU UD X IV .... --o O and you're going to git up." The guest caught the early train. The June Delineator. There is a great deal of pleasant reading in the June Deliueator. Fashion's foibles, as here set forth by pen and pen?, cil, are well designed to delight the feminine mind, as well as to prove a delusion and a snare to the masculine. There are besides a great many very prettv ideas in dresses to children, which will be welcomed by mothers. In the literary part of the magazine, the first place is given to a graceful Japanese tale, "The Giver of Honour," by Mrs. Hugh Frazer, a sister of Marion Crawford, which is refreshing in its sweetness and purity, and is sympai helically illustrated by Mr. C." D. Weldon. Other items of fiction are two ^ college tales, "At the Window of Paradise, by R. H. Barbour, and Bailey's Sister," by Allan P. Ames. A contribution > of great interest is the Chinese and Indian I photographs in the "Around the World" ^ series. These are so beautiful as views, and so realistic so away from the trite, in detail, that every one who looks at them must experience unusual pleasure. Dr. * Grace Peckham Murray's article on the "Care of the Neck and Arms," will be helpful to women. There are many other stories and articles for both little ones and grown folks and practical papers on domestic topics which go to make up a ' * thoroughly readable number of this favorite magazine. LADIES AND CHILDREN who can not stand the strain of laxative syrups and cathartic pills are fond of Littie Early Risers. All persons who find it necessary to take a liver medicine should try these pills, and compare the pleasant and strengthening effect with the nause^ atingand weakening conditions follow' ing use of other remedies. Little Early Risers cure biliousness, constipation, sick headache, jaundice, malaria and liver troubles, bold by H. F. Hoover. Farm hands seem to be scarce in the region around Williamsport, Indiana. One of the farmers in that vicinity, after endeavoring to get help week after week without success, became exasperated and inserted the following sarcastic advertise^ ment in a local newspaper: "Farm help , wanted. Wages will be $6 a day. Breakfast served in bed. Working hours from 10 a. m. to 2 p. m. All heavy work will be done by the boss. Wine and cigars will be furnished free. Any hand working the entire season can have the entire farm. Apply at once." A STARTLING TEST. To save a life, Dr. T. 0. Merritt, of No. Mehoopany, Pa, made a startling test resulting in a wonderful cure. He writes, ^ "a patient was attacked with violent hem' orrages, caused by ulceration of the stomach. 1 had often found Electric Bitters excellent for acute stomach and liver troubles so I prescribed them. The patient | - gained from the first, and has not had an ' in iimftnths." Electric Bitters are | positively guaranteed for dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation and kidney troubles. Try them.

A large hand shot up from that part of * the middle seat occupied by an aspirant from the rural districts. * "Well, Reubfen?" said the teacher. "Wreck on the belt line," said Reuben solemnly.' And the class was dismissed.?Balti\ more American. A SURE TRiJNlj. It is said that nothing is sure except , death and taxes, but that is not altogether true. Dr. King's New Discovery for ConN sumption is a sure cure for lung and - throat troubles. Mrs. C. B. VanMetre, of Shepherdtown, W. Ya., says: *T had a severe case of bronchitis and for a year tried everything I heard of, but got no .. % relief. One bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery then cured me absolutely." It's infallible for croup, whooping cough, j* griP? pneumonia and consumption. Try - Y it. It's guaranteed by J. B. Black, Bamberg; H. C. Rice, Denmark. Trial bottles free. Recrular size -50c, $1.00. J _lr Is a Sunday Betrothal Illegal. Sensational features developed in court ^' in Norristown, Pa., on Thursday, in the argument of the demurrer filed by the Rev. Edgar J. Heilman, of the WyndmOor Lutheran church, in a $10,000 breach of ' promise suit brought against him by Miss * Blanche Gertrude Keck, of Lehigh County. The trial of the case is resisted by the Rev. Mr. Heilman upon the legal techni* cality that the contract or promise was first made on Christmas day in 1898, which was on Sunday, and is, therefore, invalid, and that all subsequent promises * were but a culmination of the original ^ invalid promise.?Philadelphia Public Ledger.

O, see the county cand^ate, he wears a witching smile; he looks as harmless as a lamb but he is full of guile. He seems to be so amiable, so kindly and so meller, but yet he's so scheming all the time to down the other fellow. Just watch the county candidate! How buoyant he appears ! When first he starts to make the race he may have doubts and fears, but when he's out about a week and filled with hot air talk, he banishes all fears and knows he'll get there in a walk. Alas! there are some candidates who cannot stand defeat, who whine and sulk if they perchance with disappointment meet! Such candidates have never yet secured the victor's crown, and every one of them should go way back and sit down. Here's to the blithesome candidate who thinks he has a cinch! Here's to him twice if, beaten sore, he does not fall or flinch! Here's to him thrice if, when he finds another is preferred, he keeps j right on sawing wood and never says a word. Thrown from a Buggy. Mrs. J. W. Hill met with a painful accident last Saturday afternoon. She was in a buggy and had started to town. She was holding her baby, and the negro nurse was driving. A short distance from her home the nurse turned the horse too sharply, which threw them all out of the buggy. The baby and negro nurse were not hurt to any extent, but Mrs. Hill was painfully bruised in several places. Howprpr tin bones were brokeu, and her friends will be glad to know that she will soon be up again. AN OPEN LETTER. From the Chapin, S. C., News: Early in the spring my wife and I were taken with diarrhoea and so severe were the pains that we called a physician who prescribed for us, but his medicines failed to give any relief. A friend who had a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy on hand gave each of us a dose and we at once felt the effects. I procured a bottle and before using the contents we were entirely cured. It is a wonderful remedy and should be found in every household. H. C. Bailey, editor. This remedy is for sale by H. C. Rice, Denmark; Bamberg Pharmacy. The Traveler and the Native. The traveler stepped out of the car to stretch his legs a bit while the trainmen were doctoring a hot box. "What town is this," he said to the solitary native on the platform. "Name's on the sign up there," replied - 1 A.! me native. "Oh, yes?Drearyhurst. How far is it to Chicago?" "You'll find that on the sign, teo." "80 it is?fourteen miles. Much business dono here?" "Not much. Keeps us pretty busy, though, mindin' it." "Had a great deal of rain in this section?" "Well, we ain't growed webs on our feet yet." " ? Any newspaper puuxisueu m me town?" "No, sir. Nothin' but the Drearyhurst Democrat." "Much building going on here?" "Some. Abe Syfert put up a chicken house last fall." "You don't have much business to do yourself, do you?" "Yes, sir. They keep me down here at the deepo to answer fool questions." "So I perceive. Well, my friend, you're rather too many for me. Do you ever take a drink?" "Sometimes." "Then suppose you go to the pump there and help yourself. I see the train is moving off. Good-bye." CURED OF RHEUMATISM. "My mother has been a sufferer for years with rheumatism," says W. H. Howard, of Husband, Fa. "At times she was unable to move, while at all times walking was painful. I presented her with a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and after a few applications she decided it was the most wonderful pain reliever she had ever tried, in fact, she is never without it now and is at all times able to walk. An occasional application of Pain Balm keeps away the pain that she was formerly troubled with." For sale by H. C. Rice, Denmark; Bamberg Pharmacy. Mayfield the Coming Man. The \firrnr ft lahnr nonpr nnhlifihpd for the textile workers of the Horse Creek Valley, says: Hon. S. G. Mayfield, in the second congressional district of South Carolina, was in the second race with Mr. Theodore G. Croft, but has withdrawn in favor of his opponent. His action meets with the hearty approval of all classes of his fellow citizens, and it means that he will be the congressman for the long term beyond all peradventure. We congratulate Senator Mayfield for taking this step, and we assure him that it merits the approval of every man who believes in fair play and who admires nobility of character and magnanimity of conduct. After Croft, Mayfield will be the congressman. GROWING ACHES AND PAINS. Mrs. Josie Sumner, Bremond, Texas, writes: "I used Ballard's Snow Liniment in my family three years. I would not be without it. I used it on my little girl for growing pains and aches in her knees. It cure 1 her right away. I have also used it for frost bitten feet, with good success. It is the best liniment I ever used." 25c, 50c, $1.00. Sold by Dr. H. F, Hoover. WHITE OVERSEER KILLED NEGRO HAND. Mr. Frank James Shot Paul Williams Four Times?Clearly Justifiable, it is Said. Mr. Frank James, an overseer on Col. Richard Singleton's place near Eastover, where his father, Mr. J. B. James, is foreman, yesterday morning shot and almost instantly killed Paul Williams, a negro plowman on the place. Mr. James immediately came to Columbia and surrendered to the sheriff. He was placed in jail. His attorneys, Messrs. Weston & Aycock, will apply to Judge Gary for bail for him in a few days, being confident that the State's evidence alone clearly shows a case of probable self-defense. The shooting occurred at 5 o'clock in the farm lot where a number of farm hands had gathered preparatory to begining the day's work. On Saturday Mr. James had a difficulty with Williams, who resented Mr. James' reporting for dereliction. The negro was then armed with a stick and Mr. James did not resent his cursing him. Yesterday morning the negro renewed the quarrel. He was advancing on Mr. James clutching at his overall coat as if to draw a weapon when the latter fired. Mr. James continued the firing until the negro fell, when it was learned that he had been shot four times, once through the heart. Two other shots were " *>? TKo annnnntor not lit. Q11 fVl AU tu& aiUA< AUV VUWWUVV* ?r MW M? close range that the negro's clothing was afire when he fell. As he advanced he clutched at Mr. James' weapon. No weapon was discovered on the body of Williams, who was carried off by his friends immediately after he fell. Mr. James has the reputation at Eastover, where he has worked a number of years, of being a sober and industrious man, with a quiet and peacful disposition. This is said to be his first difficulty. Neither was drinking at the time of the killing. Little is known of Williams, who has not long lived at Eastover. He was in a cutting scrape there last December and is said to have been of a contentious disposition. He was about 28 years old. There were a number pf eye witnesses, who all agreed that Williams was advancing on Mr. James at the time all of the shots were fired. Col. Singleton said last night that there was not the slightest foundation for the rumor current in the city to the effect that the killing threatened race troubles at Eastover. There was the usual excitement which any sort of killing creates in a rural community, but there were no threats on the part of the negroes and there was never the slightest fear of any clash between the races.?Columbia State. Fewer gallons; wears longer; Devoe. Plain Warning. A young man in Emporia, Kas., had an open account with a local druggist for two years. The other day he called for his bill. The first item on it was a box of chocolates and the last was a nursing bottle. This ought to be a lesson to young men not to let accounts stand open so long. A CURE FOR PILES. "I had a bad case of piles,'' says G. F. Carter, of Atlanta, Ga., "ard consulted a physician who advised me to try a box of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Sdve. I purchased a box and was cured. Ii is splendid for piles, giving relief instantly, and I recommend it to sufferers." DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve is unequalled for its healing qualities. Eczema and other skin diseases, also sores, cuts, burns and wounds of every kind are quickly cared by it. Sold by Dr. H. F. Hoover Mr. Lawson ir Augusta. Last Sunday Rev. M. L. Lawson, pastor of the Baptist church here, preached in Augusta, and the Augusta Chronicle, in publishing a full synopsis of his sermon, said: "Rev. M. L. Lawson, of Bamberg, S. C., preached yesterday at both the morning and evening services of the Curtis Baptist church, to appreciative audiences. "Mr. Lawson is an ear iest and eloquent minister, preaching the gospel in a manner that reaches the hearts of his hearers. He is also a gentleman of attractive personality and won many friends among the members of the congregat ion during his brief stay in the city. In the afternoon he made an interesting short talk to the children of the Sunday school of the above church. "At the evening service Mr. Lawson announced as his text: Gal. 6:14: 'But God forbid that I should Glory, save in the Cross of our Lord, J 3sus Christ, by rohnr s thp world is ornoifiiid nntome. and I unto the world.' "Mr. Lawson preached with great force on the many things in life over which men glory, when there was but one thing worthy of such recognition of man." THE LADIES favor painting their churches, and therefore we urge every minister to remember wo give a liberal quantity of the Longman & Martinez paint toward the painting. Wears and covers like gold. Don't pay $1.50 a gallon for lr.nseed oil (worth 30 cents) which you do when you buy other paints in a can with a paint label on it. 8 & 6 make 14, therefore when you want fourteen gallons of paint, buy only eight of L. & M., and mix six gallons pure linseed oil with it, and thus get paint at less than $1.20 per gallon. Many houses are well painted with four gallons of L.&. M. and three gallons linseed oil mixed therewith. These celebrated paints are sold by Bamberg Pharmacy, Bamberg, S. C.; J. G. Waniiamaker Mfg.

The corner-stone of the Lander Female College at Greenwood was laid Tuesday. That is a pretty good story related from Hampton county where caterpillars were so thick on the railroad track that they, stopped a train. In Anderson last Monday night two white barbirs got into a fight and one is cut so seriously that it is feared his wounds will produce death. Charleston is making great preparations for the State reunion of Confederate veterans there next week. A large crowd is expected to attend.

The new Clifton cotton mill No. 3 has been completed and is ready for the machinery. The other two mills which were partially demolished in the flood last year have been rebuilt and running some time. Last Saturday at Ninety-six, Abbeville county, State Constable M. S. Davenport shot and killed a negro named Will Williams: The constable was searching the negro's house for contrabrand liquor when the killing occurred. Columbia experienced afire last Sunday night, in which the loss was over $20,000. The fire originated in a livery stable, in which building twenty horses and mules were burned. The fire spread and several residences were destroyed before the flames were gotten under control. The Democratic State convention meets in Columbia next Wednesday, Wilie Jones, State chairman of the party, will call the convention to order. M. B. McSweeney is slated for president of the convention. Wilie Jones, J. C. Haskell, R. G. Rhett, and others will no doubt be candidates as delegates to the National Democratic convention. Last Sunday night about 11.30 o'clock at Fort Mill, Yorkville county, J. Laurie Pattdrson, a young white man, was shot just as he was entering his yard, and died about an hour later. He was shot in the left hip with buckshot, six of which perforated the intestines and lodged just under the skin on the right side. In his ante mortem statement Patterson said W. E. Deaton, a white man, did the shooting. The verdict of the coroner's jury charged Deaton with the crime, and he was arrested and lodged in jail. Tarn Oat aud Vote. County Chairman H. C.

Folk, County Chairman, Bam Derg, a. u.?uear air: i nave receivea information from a most reliable source that a negro republican from ihe county of Beaufort will run against Hon. T. G. Croft for congress on the 17th of May. I write to urge you to do everything in your power to get our Democrats out to the polls. That is our only danger. Our people have gotten into the habit of thinking that the primary decides the matter, and some of these days we will wake up to find that we have been defeated simply because of the indifference of the people. Get your county papers to stir the people up and do everything in your power to get them to come out and vote. Yours very truly, Wilie Jones, Chairman. The Bamberg Pharmacy?DearSIrs: Over 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. Read the following: "Have used the L. & M. paint twenty years; houses painted with it eight years ago show better to-day than houses painted with other paints within two years." A. B.

A Good Man and Citizen Passes Away?Buried With Masonic Honors. 1 Mr. W. M. "Walker died at his home in the Clear Pond section Wednesday morning of last week, after an illness of about ! two weeks with pneumonia. The news of " his death came as a surprise to his many 1 friends, as it was not generally known i that he was dangerously ill. The funeral services and burial took place at Pleasant Hill church last Thursday morning, and the high esteem in which he was held by all who knew him was attested by the large concourse of people who gathered to pay the last tribute of respect to their dead friend and neighbor. It is thought that the congregation present must have numbered at least five hundred. The sermon and services at the church were conducted by Rev. E. M. McKissick, his pastor, and when the body was removed to the grave the Masons took charge and he was buried with Masonic honors, tne solemn and beautiful rites being conducted by Grand Master Jno. R. Bellinger. Mr. Walker was a true and loyal Mason, and had been Master of the Ehrhardt lodge since its organization. Several Masonic brethren from Bamberg attended the funeral, among them being Grand Master Jno. R. Bellinger, Dr. J. B. Black, W. D. Rhoad, and H. S. Dowling. Deceased was about forty-five years old, and leaves a widow and eight children: J seven daughters and one son, as well as a number of relatives. He was a "brother of Rev. C. E.Walker, of the Hartzog section. Truly a good man has gone from among us. Brother Walker was not rich in this ; world's goods, but we know of no man J who was more highly regarded as a man ( and christian.
