Thursday, Sept. 8, 1904 The need for two white parties in SonthCarolina daily grows more apparent. But of course it's rank treason to say so. As between Earle and Mobley for railroad commissioner, this newspaper favors Earle, and we trust that Bamberg county will give him a large majority next Tues5 toyThere was no trouble of any kind in South Carolina the day of the primary. Strange to say, this was one of the few s days in the State on which we have had no killings recently. Every man with a family should own a I home. Property can be bought in Bamberg at reasonable prices now, but it is bound to go up. The new graded school will brihg a lot of new population here and houses will be in demand. The wise man will buy property now. The contemptible untruths being circulated on Mayfield shows that unscrupulous people are using every effort to defeat him. He is a man who will protect the rights of the humblest white man and those who will profit by his defeat are (p|V opposing him. Every laboring man |fe; should cast his ballot for Mayfield. 6$' Bamberg county's people will be simply going against their own interests if they vote against Mayfield. County pride should make us want the congressman Rfe, from Bamberg. The question is not a personal one, but it is up to our voters to say whether the county shall have repregig; sentation in congress or remain in the MB*' background. "We never will get anything so long as we vote for candidates from j other counties. If we are alive to our interests we will cast practically a solid county vote for Mayfield next Tuesday. We long to see the day in politics when a newspaper will express its opinion about county candidates just as freely as they do in reference to those offering for governor or other State offices, congress, etc. There is just as much reason that a newspaper support a candidate for the State Senate or House of Representatives as for the United States Senate or congress. There are issues in our State just as important and vital as in the national congress, or possibly more so, and the views of men offering as our representatives should be discussed and opposed if need be. C. W. Garris made a fine run for railroad commissioner and only lacked a few votes of being in the second race with John G. Mobley. Had he gotten into the second primary there was little doubt of bis election, and there lay the only chance ?f defeating him. Garris made a square, | 4ean campaign, and has nothing to re Igret. Many of bis friends do not regret bis defeat in one sense, for they feel that the position of railroad commissioner is not one commensurate with bis talents and ability. As it is we bope be will make bis permanent borne in Bamberg wben his term expires, and be will still be a factor in South Carolina along the lines of industrial and political activity. He has accepted bis defeat like a true man and has not sulked, but we who are bis friends will remember those who stood to him as well as bis enemies. This was evidently not the year for newspaper men to run for office in South Carolina, for they were defeated all along the line. We must confess to some sur^ prise at the jdefeat of some, friends in py: other counties, and especially 'in Newfe;: berry county, where our friend Elbert f?: Aull lacked a few votes of getting into the second primary. He had made a valuable member of the House of Repre& -5* sentatives for two years, and we Connie dently expected his re-election. But it is a fact that in the recent primary as a general thing newspaper men were defeated, i|y no matter what office they aspired to. The moral then is don't run for office, or y as John Temple Graves puts it, give up the hope and desire of holding office. p.: You'd better do it, especially if you have .v a backbone, for you are bound to tread on fjX the foes of some people and they'll take JpK great delight in getting even at the election. Even the fellow who loafs around ?" - thp npwsnaner office is thought to be in bad company nowadays, and it is a dangerous prooeeding if he would enter politics. We have no doubt but that it would $ . please some people in Bamberg for us to offer for public position, and they doubtless would take special delight in giving us ^thunder, but fortunately there is a guardian angel who keeps us from the devious and dangerous path. Seriously, however, it is our firm belief that no newspaper man can offer for or hold publie office and maintain his independence of thought and action very long. Sooner or later he will inevitably be found truckling or keeping silent when vigorous, bold action is needed. SHERIFF DID NOT DO HIS DUTY. Card from the Brothers of the Late M. B. Yarn The Sheriffs Reply. < Editor the Bamberg HeraldPlease allow us space in your paper to state as a matter of information to the public generally some plain facts in reference to the manner in which we were treated by J. B. Hunter, the Sheriff of Bamberg county, on the night of the murder of our brother, M. B. Yarn. It is a fact, well known and tuuy vennea, mai onenxi Hunter did not leave his house during the night of the murder in question, after having been notified of the fact. The murder of M. B. Varn was the most horrible and cold-blooded ever committed in Bamberg county, and the high sheriff to stay at home and make no effort to apprehend the murderer in a time like that is sufficient in itself to cause his removal from office. The cries of the widow and children of the man so foully murdered failed to arouse his sympathy. Such a man is totally unfit for the high office of Sheriff of any county in South Carolina, because we know not how soon another murder may be committed in Bamberg county, and Sheriff Hunter will not leave his home to attend the cries of a bereaved family. Bloodhounds could not be procured to trail the murderers because the Sheriff neglected , his duty. The owner of the hounds said j he would send them if the Sheriff would give the order. This he would not even go to the telephone and do, consequently the murderers escaped. This is a plain statement of facts, and is verified by a , number of the best people of the town of . Bamberg, whose names will be given if . necessary. Now, the question resolves , itself into this: The people of Bamberg . county need a reliable Sheriff, and will they elect one on next Tuesday ? This is . a matter for them to decide. We have tried in our humble way to ' set this matter right before the public, and now we ask the fair-minded men of Bam- j berg county to judge of the fitness of . things. J. W. Varn, T T> TT . I Xj. D. y ajl.>, G. C. Yarn, j A. G. Varx. j i The Reply of Sheriff Hunter. ( The above letter was gotten up for the j * purpose of injuring me on the eve of the t election. No one regretted the murder 1 of Mr. Yarn more than I did. He was as i1 true a friend as I had in the world. I did j j all I could. The policeman had been k notified, and when I found it out he had ! I the matter in hand and I knew he would ^ do all he could, and my deputy, William, stayed with him. My regular deputy had a dying wife and could not be there. I hope the public will believe me. There- , fore I publish the following affidavit: j South Carolina, Bamberg County. Personally appeared before me J; B. f Hunter, Sheriff, who, being duly sworn, , says: That on the Digbt of the murder of , Mr. M. B. Yarn he was at home asleep | and knew nothing of the killing until , about 12 o'clock. Kev. Mr. Hook and W. < C Ziegler came and woke him up and , told him of the murder. He immediately . sent his son to the 'phone office where Mr. , Zeigler said the chief of police was'phoning for dogs and told his son to assist the ( chief in getting dogs. He got up and went down to the office but could not get j up-stairs on account of having to walk ! some boards to get up there. He.met his son who told him the chief was doing all ; he could. At the same time he heard that the constable had arrested a negro and thinking he would take him to the jail he went back to the jail to receive him. Then t he heard the constable had another and . would placp perhaps both in jail. He waited a while to get them, but found out they were put in the guardhouse. He j then went back to the stairs and called his son. He told him that the chief would ( get dogs from Charleston. He knew the i marshal was backed up by the town and ( thought the dogs would come, as no guarantee was required. He then went back to the jail ana remained there, thinking they had the right parties. The murder was committed about 8 o'clock, and he was notified at 12 o'clock. He did all he could, and no man could do any more. His son stayed with the police ana tney did all they could. Next morning he met the train with help, &c., to meet the dogs ' and none came. J. B. HUNTER, 8heriff. ! Sworn to before me this the 6th day of i September, 1904. W. W. LIGHTSEY, [L. 8.] Magistrate. I certify that on the night of the murder of M. B. Varn I went to the jail in company with Mr. Hook and woke up the Sheriff. He got up and was putting j on his clothes when I left. He sent his son and myself to the telephone office to 'phone for dogs. I stayed at the 'phone . office a short time and then went back to , Mr. Vara's. I did not see Sheriff Hunter after I left the jail. He told his son to .. use his name as being responsible for dogs if they could be procured. W. C. Zeigler. | [The above communication from the Messrs. Yarn was brought to this office i Tuesday morning, and, as this was the 1 last issue before the primary, in order to j do him justice, we gave Sheriff Hunter the privilege of a reply in this issue. This ] explains why the letter and reply appear j in the same issue.?Ed. Herald.] ( ?. ? j A HOME REMEDY. 1 Even Eczema Readily Yields to Hancock's ] Liquid Sulphur.

Just before his first election to the United States Senate, the late Senator Vest went to a caucus of Missourians with rotes.
