? v- :* THE BAMBERG HERALD. Established 1891 BAMBERG, S. C., THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1905 One Dollar a Year WAS VICTIM OF POLITICS. , Dr. Hartzog no Longer President of the University of ArkansasDr. Henry S. Hartzog, formerly presiv dent of Clemson college, and until recently president of the University of Arkansas, has lost his place as the head of that institution, all because of politics, accordng to the Memphis Commercial-Appeal. The Appeal says: t While the men in control of the public schools of Arkansas have been fighting nobly to keep politics at a distance, there is & serious charge that the removal of Dr. H. S. Hartzog from the presidency of the state university is due to this source. The Springfield News, which is pub lished in the home county of the university, makes the direct charge. It claims that the scholarly educator who has done Vklo dnfr. on faitKfnllv nrds romnVMl VlACAnse U10UUVJ 0VUliVUlUUJ rv mw * of a demonstration of students favoring Wood for governor over Davis. Whether true or not, the following comment which the Appeal makes is certainly a full truth: If this be true Arkansas is sowing a crop of politics in places that will most certainly raise a harvest of deplorable results in the near future. The education of the youth of the land should be absolutely free from political control. No man may do his duty as an educator if his position is to be endangered at the whim of every ignorant, but popular individual who may be advanced to high places in the politics of the State. When politicians of this sort appear upon the horizon the people shonld take warning, for they are of the calibre that builds machines which will roll over and flatten out all liberal views and all individuals. t It is a hard question, which is the worse to have politicians run a school from the outside or from the inside. Take the case in point.?Spartanburg Herald. The Tombigbee River. When the Hon. Amos Tuck, of Exeter, N. Hm was Postmaster General, a day came when for soihe reason there was a study of conditions in the region of the Tombigbee River. Whereupon a letter was sent to a postmaster in the valley of ? that river, saying that information was %. wanted at Washington as to how far the Tombigbee River ran up. The postmaster promptly made response as follows: rj "Dear Sir?The Tombigbee River does not run up at all; it rnDS down all the * way." , A Bride's Debt at Whist Luncheon. A young bride was invited to a bridge whist luncheon, and, after spending a delightful afternoon, was told by her hostess that she was in debt $75, says the New York Times. Mrs. , unaware that' she had been playing for money, was horrified at the ?<***? r?f Ravine to ask her husband for the 4UVW V* ? ?? ? p .- * necessary amount. 1 She mournfully confided her woes to him, and he immediately wrote a check for $76.50 and sent it to the hostess. The hostess believing that a mistake had been made, informed him that he had sent $1.50 too much. Mr. , however, returned it with this curt statement that the $75 settled the bridge score and the balance was for his wife's luncheon. Peculiar Theory. "Uncle Rufus," said the man who takes an interest in everybody, "what is your idea of emancipation?" "Well, suh," was the answer, "some of dem farm hands wasn't earn in' deir salt, an' 'mancipation were jes' a p'lite way of tellin' 'em dat de white folks wouldn't be 'sponsible for deir board an' keep no longer."?Washington Star.

State News Boiled Down for Quick Reading Pungent Paragraphs About Men and Happenings. The teacher's summer school for the State, is in session at Clemson college. It is rumored that Dillon may have another large cotton mill in the near fntnrp G. "W. Carnes, who was tried in Chesfiield for the murder of Dr. Thurman, was acquitted last week. Court is in session in Aiken this week. There are 21 criminal cases to be tried. All of the prisoners are negroes. John Cole, an overseer for J. S. Blalock, shot and killed Yirge Caldwell, colored, at Goldvilie in Laurens county. Mr. Jas. S. Drummond, an old Confederate veteran, died at his home in Laurens last Mondav. He was 63 years old. A young negro boy was instantly killed at a saw mill near Bowman last Friday by stepping backward and falling on the saw. He had been working around the mill for sometime. The Enterprise Tobacco company, of Florence, has reorganized and will build a large double warehouse on the site of the old stemmery, which will be used for storing cotton and tobacco. C. J. Hunt, a confirmed drunkard,tried to commit suicide in a cell at the station house in Greenville Monday night. He used a tin from a tomato can. He was interfered with by the housekeeper. A young white man named Jesse Jones from Darlington was arrested in Willmington, N. C., last week on the charge of trying to get laborers without holding an emigrant's license. He gave bond and was released. The Pickens dispensary election is to get into the courts. Judge Pope has issued an order requiring the State board to show cause before him on the oth of July why they should not operate dispensaries in that county. The legality of the election will be tested. Spartanburg enterprise will establish in the near future a second fertilizer factory. It will be known as the Piedmont Fertilizer factory. The incorporators are A. W. Lawton, J. B. Taber and W. A. Lawton. The capital stock will be $25,000. The Laurens cotton mill case was heard in the United States court at Greenville last week by Judge Brawley. The question now is whether the U. S. court has jurisdicton, as Milliken is trying to have the case transferred from the State courts. Judge Brawley reserved his decision. H. D. Grainger, a local Baptist preacher and farmer, was shot from ambush and instantly killed last Friday morning while plowing in his field on his farm in Horry county. He was behind with his crop and hired negroes to help him, and he was shot by some of his neighbors who oojectea 10 navmg iarmers m mat wiumunity hire negro labor. Not a Masterpiece.. A Scotchman who had married a widow noted for her plainness, says Harper's Weekly, was accosted by his employer. "Well, Thomas," said the latter, "I hear you're married. What sort of a woman is your wife?" "Well, sir," answered the Scot, "she's the Lord's handiwork; but I cannot say she's just His masterpiece." NO SECRET ABOUT IT. It is no secret, that for cuts, bums, ulcers, fever sores, sore eyes, boils, etc., nothing is so effective as Bucklen's Amica Salve. "It didn't take longto cure a bad sore I had, and it is all 0.

A prominent business house in Baltimore placed a bill in the hands of a collector, who, in response to a request for settlement, received the following letter in reply: "My Dear Sir: Absence from the city prevented my writing in answer to yours of a recent date.

H (J UrlS TASJilt was a huge task, to undertake the cure of such a bad case of kidney disease as that of C. F. Collier, of Cherokee, la., but Electric Bitters did it. He writes: "My kidneys were so far gone,-1 could not sit on a chair without a cushion; and suffered from dreadful backache, headache, and depression. In Electric Bitters, however, I found a cure, and by them was restored to perfect health. I recommended this great tonic medicine to all with weak kidneys, liver or stomach.

As a result of fraudulent pension claims filed in Colleton county prosecutions are now pending and one of the biggest sensations of the year is promised when the truth is known. From the facts made public by the chairman of the county pension board it seems that in 1901 about a half dozen claims for pensions for widows were filed before the state pension board. The applications had been passed upon by the county board and thereupon the state board accepted them. It has just been discovered that all of the claims are fraudulent and that the affidavits filed as a result are perjured. romntroller General Jones said this morning that these claims had been regularly paid since they were passed upon by the state and county boards of 1901 and the letter received this morning states that the investigation has just started and promises to uncover some sensational testimony. The parties concerned in the fraud will be brought before the courts by the grand jury and instructions have' been issued to push the investigation through.?Columbia Record. Shot From Ambugh. Orangeburg, June 26.?Esau Brunson, a negro of the Pine Grove section of this couty, was killed near his home a few days ago by unknown parties. The deceased was found dead near the road, and he had been shot by some one probably in ambush. Brunson had served a term on the chain gang some time ago, and bore rather a bad reputation. It is the supposition that he was killed by another negro and that a negro woman was at the bottom of the affair. South Carolina Oil. A Westerner, for 15 years in the oil business, is prospecting in the earthquake section of this State for a Wisconsin company. He thinks that this part of South Carolina will prove one of the richest oil fields in the United States and that in fifteen years Charleston will be one of the largest cities in the Union. A few years ago plain oil signs were seen in an artesian well bored for a Mr. Lawton, of Hampton county, and the contractor was sure that he would strike oil if allowed to go deep enough, but Mr. Lawton wanted nothing better than water.?Barnwell People.

Then his property was sold for taxes because he did'nt read the treasurer's sales. He was arrested and fined $8 for going hunting on Sunday simply because he didn't know it was Sunday, and paid $300 for a lot of forged notes that had been advertised two weeks and the Eublic cautioned not to negotiate forthem. [e then paid a big American with a foot like a forge hammer to kick him all all the way to the newspaper office, where he paid four years in advance and made the editor sicn an agreement to knock him down and rob him if he ever ordered his paper stooped again.?San Francisco Call. * THE SALVE THAT PENETRATES.

The brave little fellow is convalescing nicely. I had the pleasure to spend the night with Rev. W. D. McMillan. Bro. McMillan is at present preaching at Springfield and Dean Swamp Baptist churches, and the work is flourishing at both places under his wise and capable leadership. Bro.

She imported a young colored girl from one of the lower counties of Virginia, with the determination to do or die in the attempt to model her into an accomplished cook at least. The usual hitches and disappointments occnrred, however, until the climax ma- ^ terialized a few days ago. Entering the kitchen one afternoon the lady of the house inquired: "Millie, have you cooked j the macaroni?" j "What's macaroni?" the importation ( from the country wanted to know. 1 "Why, here it is," the employer ex- ^ plained, indicating the raw material. ^ "What does you do with that?" the girl \ then asked. j "Eat it, of course," was the reply. "Good laws," Millie ejaculated. "I j thought that stuff was what you sucks ; medicine through." t How Hot it is in Kansas. \ "This little warm spell we are having in Washington," says a Kansas Representative "is an ice factory compared to some weather I have witnessed in my State? 3 the best in the Union. Why, sir, I have 1 seen it so infernally hot in Kansas that water would actually boil in the sunshine; 1 fish were drawn out of the water by the sun's rays, and I remember once where 1 a field of pop corn popped out and a c warm wind came along and it drifted to 1 such an extent that people thought it a t snow storm and went home and put on i their overcoats. Oh, shucks, its hot some in Kansas, and this weather here is only 1 a side show, and a very small one at that." i Deaths from Heart Disease. e In New York last week there were 125 j deaths from heart disease. Could there be any more clear and startling indication of the nign and killing tension at which the people of the nation's metropolis are living? And New o York is typical in this respect of the whole country. The heart will stand anything within reason. But it will not stand the terrible E strain that is put upon it by the life that J is becoming more and more characteristic of the people of this country. A record of 125 deaths from heart failure in one city in one week contains a story C that means far more than shows on the surface of dry statistics. It tells of living that is all but voluntary suicide, for it is little less than wilful 1( suicide to drive to fatal speed an organ so A wonderfully devised for strength, vigor g and power of recovery.?Atlanta Journal. p ? g Something new in the line of insurance o is shown in the following item, taken lc from an Argentine newspaper: "The re- $ cent hail storms in Mendoza have done ji considerable damage.

The Beautiful Wedding of Miss Ethel Gwendolyn Rice and Mr. Will Arthur Salters in the Methodist Church. Denmark, June 24?A beautiful wedding was celebrated at the Methodist church here Wednesday evening at 8.30 o'clock. The contracting parties were Mr. Will Arthur Salters, a conductor of the Seaboard Air Line system, and now residing at Raleigh, N. C., and Miss Ethel Gwendolyn Rice, daughter of H. C. Rice, a prominent merchant of this place. Miss Rice is a popular young lady. She has always enjoyed the very best advantages of social influence and is loved by her J _ uusb ui irieuus. The church was tastefully decorated. Down the middle aisle were erected at regular intervals gorgeous arches of flowers and just in front of the chancel stood a larger arch, from the centre of which hung a large bell made of flowers and evergreens artistically interwoven, a very clever piece of work, and as a whole a scene of beauty. Within the church, and extending toward the right and the left was in view a veritable bower of evergreens, flowers and hot house plants, carefully arranged. The novel scene, so different from all other decorations on past similar occasions, presented a beautiful panorama to the enchanted audience as the lights were turned on. The beautiful tints of the fresh hydrangeas, the predominating flowers, harmonized so splendidly with the variegated colors that shad- * owed here and there in festoons of artful blendings with white and green back grounds. Mrs. William L. Riley rendered the ?, 3 music. With the beginning of the sweet, < tender notes falling with su<& penetrating pathos upon an audience so deeply in symtsof 1*TT Wlfll V*At\rkTf /\AAIIO?A?* pavuj nivu bug wvaoivu auu &w participants, the ushers, Messrs Wade H. Faust with A. M. High, Messrs Will E. Osteen with Will A. Cole, filed down left and right aisles respectively, and their positions as appointed, followed by two ribbon girls, Misses Edith Rice and Gedelle Brabham, down the archway of the centre, thus connecting each interval of the archwork, presenting the whole at once as a composite path that widened as ' ' they unwound their ribbon. The brides* maids, all dressed in white silk, made- - 1 their appearance at this juncture, keeping perfect time with the leading music, filed to their places. Misses Estelle Guess, Roberta Reed, Margarite Steadman and Nettie Mae Rice served their bridal friend in this capacity. Then the groom came \ i; in, accompanied by his friend and best man, Mr. Tom Milan, of Raleigh N. C.f and stopped just in front of the arch bearing the burden of the beautiful bell, whose chimes were now silent to await the com ing of the beautiful bride, dressed in cream siikaline over white taffeta silk, on thearm of her youngest sister, Miss Ramielle This accomplished, the groom accompanied the bride to the altar, where they were made man and wife in a very impressive ceremony, by the Rev. E. H. Beckham, while still the low, vibrating notes of music could be scarcely heard The party retired in the reverse order ... of entrance, and repaired to the home of , the bride's father, where a large numberof invited guests extended their warm ; congratulations. Several happy hours <* were spent. It was companionship, un- ' broken friendship, around the festal board for the last time. The old home, with its," '[ true father, three more daughters and childhood s happy good-bye greetings of friends, mingled there together to pay homage to the handsome grcom and his beautiful bride. Mr. Salters is the third son-in-law and significantly like others taking this title before him, his name is "Will." The refreshments were served out in the long piazza on the south side of the home under the inspiring lights from swinging Japanese lanterns. The wedding gifts were many, useful : and pretty. A true index of the popu- larity of the couple. Mr. Salters and his wife left early Thursday morning for their future home in Raleigh, N. C. G.
