The next county campaign meeting is to be held at Ehrhardt to-day, the 2oth. fA big picnic dinner will be served! The "good old summer time" is certain ly with us this tteek.

Prof. Wm. C. Owen, who is connected with the Carlisle Fitting School, Bamberg, is in the city.?Orangeburg Times and Democrat. We confidently expect that Bamberg will have electric lights in the next six months. Plans'for the establishing of a 1 I plant here are under way. Managers of the primary election should post themselves thoroughly on the rules governing the same and conduct the election in accordance with law. We trust that the town authorities will not allow the sidewalks of Main street to be blockaded with all sorts of goods this fall, as well as the street itself. Boys, we have the cut flowers you want to.send that girl. Beautiful roses at onefifth city prices. Telephone 42. Bamberg Nurseries. ** ' Cotton is opening rapidly in this section, and no doubt much of the staple ? will be on the market in a few weeks. Several bales have already been sold on - this market. C. F. Rizer at Olar received last week ? one car wagons and one car buggies and expects another car in ten days. Buying . in car-load lots enables me "to sell very ' cheap. Give me a call and be convinced. Mr. Emory A. Hooton, formerly with J. B. White & Co., in Augusta, has accepted a position with L. A. Klauber, where he will be glad to see and serve his friends. \ Married, at the home of the writer in Bamberg, S. C., on the 18th of August, 1904, Mr. O. L. Bamberg, of Denmark, and Miss M. Lu Crosby, of Colston, by Rev. J. H. Stoudenmire. A negro namfed Bennett escaped from v* the chain gang last Saturday. He was sent theie for some minor offence and had only about ten days more to serve. He has not yet been recaptured. When you want clothing for your boys Hv- ; ^ seeKirsch's line before buying.

Chambliss, the Entomologist of >7 * * Clemson College, a vial containing the ?' . larva and adult of the boll weevil. FarmW ers and others interested in this pest can call at our office and see it. I An appreciative subscriber, in renewing his subscription, writes as follows: "You are publishing a fine paper now. I wish you success." This is from one of the very best men in Bamberg county, and we are proud of his gooa opinion. I am daily receiving my fall line of ?f : goods and expect to have the largest and jf. -" best selected stock I have ever shown, jp Prices right. Be sure to see the new s. ... goods at C. F. Rizer's, Olar, S. C. .. We would suggest that the policeman 5-: , keep the crowds of loafing darkies from ?s. ' the new artesian well. It is very annoying to ladies and children to have to push . .through those crowds of loafers in order |?v~. - - to get a drink of fresh water from the gv well.

The desks and seats are of oak and substantial as well as gA ' handsome. Everything will be in readiness for the opening of the school about 4 V the middle of September. Main street is entirely too narrow to be used as a stopping place for teams. We have seen double teams stand near the middle of the street for an hour or more on Saturday afternoons when the town was crowded. We hope council will put a stop to this practice. Carlisle Fitting School. The Carlisle Fitting School opens on ^ the 21st of next month. The record made by this institution during its existence in our midst is one of which we, and every friend of high, moral, Christian scholarshin. should be proud. The citizens of ?1 our State have run mad after free educa i tion at our State schools, and while we feel proud of every educational institution we have, and would say naught against any one, we point with pride to this, ' preparatory school in our midst, and we advise our readers to examine into the advantages and merits of this homeschool -before sending their children away from home. The faculty is com: posed of high-toned, scholarly, Christian gentlemen, consecrated to their work, and the fruit of their labors is our best reason for advising you to patronize this school. The true, thoughtful parent desires his child to receive the best training for the fullest development of manhood. Is it to your advantage to educate him at the expense of his moral life when you can i give him a Christian education for the same money ? The school expenses are i guaranteed not to exceed $107 per year. 1 Where can you get cheaper tuition and ; board? ; z s. COUNTY CAMPAIGN MEETING. Candidates Address the Voters at Hightower's Mill Last Friday. The second campaign meeting for this county was held at Hightower's mill last Friday. The stand for the speakers had been erected down below the mill at the famous mineral spring, where there was plenty of shade. It was a pleasant occasion. Net only did the voters of that section attend, but it was made the occasion of a picnic gathering, and many ladies and children were present, The committee in charge of the " J j i - ?.I.a anair nau rnaue ampieprepaiauuu iu ia&c care of the crowd, and the dinner was certainly a fine one, and there was plenty and to spare for all. People were there from many sections of the county, and when the meeting was called to order at eleven o'clock, there was a good crowd of voters on hand. The meeting was presided over by E. T. LaFitte, Esq., president of the Denmark club, who at times turned over the meeting to Dr. J. B. Black. Prayer at the opening was made by Mr. J. H. Zeigler. The following candidates made speeches: W. H. Bamberg and J. H. Zeigler, for Coroner; E. C. Bruce and G. H. Kearse, for Supervisor;- Dr. J. B. Black, for the Senate; Col. Jno. F. Folk and Capt. W. A. Riley, for Treasurer; C. F. Rentz and J.

Klauber also sells the famous Griffon brand clothing for men and boys. A Card. To the voters of Bamberg county:?I regret very much that I have been unable to visit many of you this election year, but circumstances have been such that I could not do so. However, I wish to thank you for the support given me in the past and in advance for that which you will give me on the 30th instant. My record is before you and you know me and know what my record is. Again thanking you, I am your obedient servant. J. B. Hunter. AN EXCITING AFFAIR. Negro Says He Had a Pit and Attacked Mr. David Kinard. About one o'clock last Saturday afternoon a big burly negro went into Mr. Kinard's livery stable at this place and attacked Mr. David Kinard, a young man who was sitting inside the entrance quietly reading. Mr. Kinard was thrown completely off his guard by the suddenness of the attack, but he put up a good fight and held 'his own fairly well until assistance arrived. The negro is a big strapping fellow, and Mr. Kinard was considerably bruised and scratched in the scuffle, the negro making efforts all the time to choke him. A crowd soon gathered and the negro seemed to want to fight everybody, and he got a pretty good pummeling before he was subdued and taken to the guard house. In the meantime Mr. Kinard had succeeded in getting hold of a good stout stick, but the negro was fighting around so in the crowd that he could not get a fair lick at him, although he hit him one or two glancing blows. There were many sore and bruised knuckles in town after the excitement was over, for several men hit the negro. He was kept in the guard house until Tuesday, when he was sent to the chain gang for thirty days. He claims to have fits and when these spells are on him he attacks any one around him. He will be cared for on the chain gang and if it is found that he is really not responsible for his actions and violent, he will be sent to the asylum in Columbia. This is not the first time he has attacked people when these fits were on him, and it is well to confine him, for he is a big strong fellow and is no doubt really dangerous. Young Mr. Kinard has cause to congratulate himself that his experience was no wore than it was, although it was certainly trying. It seemed that the negro was doing his best to choke him to death. However, Bamberg is likely to prove a dangerous locality hereafter for negroes to have fits and so murderously assault white men. A Compliment to Oar Bank. The Southern Banker, a financial magazine published at Atlanta, Ga.j in a recent issue has the following to say of the Bamberg Banking Company: "The quarterly statement of the Bamberg Banking Company, Bamberg, recently published shows the institution to be one of the most ably managed in the State. With capital of only $55,000, it bias surplus and undivided profits amounting to $31,485; loans and discounts, $167,397." Card ofTlianks. To the good people-of Bamberg, who have been so kind and attentive to my afflicted family during the last seven months, I return my sincere thanks. I have n'ot sufficient of this world's goods to half repay them for their kindness, but it is my earnest prayer that all shall be richly rewarded by him of whom it is said "He doeth all things well." Their thoughtfulness and kindness is a great consolation to me in my sad bereavement and shall be remembered so long as life lasts. N. P. Smoak. A Card of Thanks. TVe desire to thank the kind friends who assisted in getting our brother, E. P. Rice, home when he was stricken down, and also those who so kindly helped us in his illness and death. May God give them all friends also in their need. G. A. Rice & Sister.
