Even with fine seasons from now on, nothing like a full crop of cotton can be made in this county. The pension fund for this county is a little more than $1,600. Bamberg gets a very small part of this fund. Mr. W. H. Felder, District Deputy, or* ganized a Grove of the Woodmen Circle at Blackville last Monday night.

Time and again during the past four weeks have I tried to write a few lines to the memory of our dear good brother, but each time blinding tears would fill my eyes and the pen would have to be laid aside. It is natural for us to magnify the virtues of our loved ones, but after 1 '?*? ?'?ttion aniT ntlA an we tmew luclu wuu else, then why should we not with propriety speak of these things. His life so fully demonstrated the possibilities of American citizenship. Young men can find encouragement and inspiration in the fact that he made his way from a penniless orphan to a man of wealth and influence. And those who are nearing the boundary of life can find consolation and example in the superb manner in which he fought his final battle, his courage and his fortitude in the closing days of his life, recalling the bravery he showed as a soldier. He was a man of immaculate purity. No stain was upon his escutcheon; no syllable of suspicion was ever heard whispered against his character; he walked in noble and perfect self control. He had a great and generous love for his fellow man; he knew their labors, struggles, and necessities, and was ever ready to help them with his money and good advice. From early manhood he had been a member of the Methodist church. It was the church of his parents, the church where he had been trained from childhood and where was laid the foundation of that solid symmetrical character for which he was so distinguished. And to his church and educationl institutions his' - ' 4.:^ purse strings were aiways uuucu. Domestic happiness'has never been better illustrated than in his life, a life that closed so quietly, so peaceably that we scarcely knew when he breathed his last. Oh! what sundering of strong warm manhood's friendship, what bitter rendering of sweet household ties. The wife of his youth whose whole life lay in his. Six lovely daughters to whom his devotion forms one of the loveliest and purest pictures of the past, and two sturdy sons just springing into the closest companionship, how they will miss his wise and loving counsel. But we'll cling to the links of a broken chain. With the tenderness of love, And patiently wait as the bright days wane That at last we can gather them up again In fields that bloom above. Sister A. D. J. A CREEPING DEATH. Blood poison creeps towards the heart, causing death. J. E. Stearns, Bell Plaine, Minn., writes that a friend dreadfullyinjured his hand, which swelled up like blood poisoning. Bucklen's Arnica Salve drew out the poison, healed .the wound, and saved his life. Best in the world for burns and sores. 25c at all druggists at Bamberg; Felder & Matthews, Denmark. Closing Exercises at Graded School.

For many years it has been supposed that Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Repeated attacks of Indigestion inflames the mucous membranes lining the stomach and ezposesthe nerves of the stomach, thus causing the glands to secrete mucin instead of the Juices of natural digestion. This it called Catarrh of the Stomach.

"RITES OF WITCH DOCTORS IJV CV3A 'Brutal and Superstitious 'Practices 'Repealed In Murder Trial. On Nov. 10, 1904, Zoila Sanchez, child of Francisco Diaz Sanchez and Anna Peres de Sanchez, twenty months old, disappeared from ber home on the. outskirts of Guira de Melena, a town about thirty-five miles from Havana. TVa Ko^ l/\ff fVn In o XU^ UAaotl UOU tVL k ULTC Ui u banana patch while she went back to the house about her work, for the Sanchezes are poor white people. The parents made a frantic search for the baby, hot were unsuccessful in tracing, her, says a Havana correspondent Then it was recalled that a few days before Virginia Perdomo, aged three years, hod been enticed from her borne by a negress, but had been recovered. The colored settlement was watched, as it was a well known fact that several notorious witch doctors were practicing their rites in the community. Nothing was discovered until Nov. 26, when the body of Zoila in a good state of preservation was found in a thicket near the Zuniga farm. An incision bad been made between the ribs and the heart removed, presumably while the child was still alive, A great cry went up from the people to send Judge Gonzales Landa, a famous criminal expert, to the scene of the crime to disentangle the mystery. Judge Landa was appointed to investigate and went at once to Guira. The result was the arrest of twelve persons of both aexes and the detention of 125 witnesses. Domingo Bouconrt, an old African negro otf powerful physique, is the chief witch doctor., and he is accused of hav lng planned the murder, rue cnier witness foe the prosecution Is Luisa Leal, a mulatto, who testified that she lived tn the house of a couple named Tabares and had heard that Boucourt ordered poultices prepared with the blood of a white person for Juana Tabares. The reputed witches were brought to trial on March 10, four months from the date of the crime, with Judge Landa presiding. Five other judges sat with him. Judge Landa ordered the clothes of Victor Molina and Ruperton Ponce, who were accused of abducting the child, sent to the national laboratory to be chemically analysed, and the stains thereon were found to be il-ose of human blood. Two knives identified 88 belonging to Molina and Julian Amaro were also stained. It was proved by the prosecution that Juana Tabares, who had given birth to six children, none of whom had lived, being about to be confined again, sent her husband, Pablo Tabares, to consult with Domingo Boucourt A meeting of the witches was held in the house of Adela Luis, at which it was H I XT W4S WfTMHII) BBS WJtJDCBASRD abd oo$w> carjnr as oussb by ths BLOOD OF XPSBS MB8QS. dedaeed tfeat Jons Tabares was enchanted, Oat her ffiaeae was tbe result of TRtsffeD crmrtly (Taring slavery days and {feat lbs caald only be eared by tbe blood af a wblte pen A leOar written by Boaoonrt mates mysterious reference to a ^toanlbln"? evidently t?e person of a wblte infant? which be dedans wffl cost $28.

Link by ttofc the prosecution built up its case and uncovered a mass of superstition and ignorenoa fearful In Its possibilities of crime. All Outre knew of the witch doctors and of their secret sessions and had beard that Boucourt had said that Juana Ta bares could only be cured by the blood of a white person, both taken Internally and used tn the form of poultices. The death penalty was asked for some of the prisoners and many years' imprisonment for others.
