Thursday, June 29,1905 The dispensary people are making a serious mistake in contesting the election in Pickens county. No matter whether the election was legal or not, so far as a few technicalities are concerned, the people of that county by an overwhelming vote decided against the dispensary and the result should be accepted in good faith. Contesting the election and trying to thwart the will of the people will only arouse opposition and should another election be held the majority against the dispensary would be still larger. ,4;i * * * - This newspaper has not discussed the Ogden-Dixon controversy, although a number of the weekly papers have felt it their duty to express themselves. Our reason was that we thought the least said about the matter the better. However, the answer of Mr. Dreher to Mr. Dixon, C; published in the papers last week, is one of the weakest things we ever read. His article is an attempt at hair splitting all the way through, and we are surnriftpd at his attemDt. It is very clear that Mr. Ogden is on too intimate terms with Booker Washington to suit South* era people, and no good can be accomplished by further discussion of a disagreeable suject. * * Senator B. B. Tillman h&6 been invited by ft. B. Tindal, president of the Greenville county cotton growers' association, to make a speech in Greenville on the ' . fourth of July on the cotton question. He has accepted, and states in his letter of acceptance that he will allude to politics as little as possible, only so much as Is necessary. There will no doubt be some political talk from the Senator, for we feel sure that he wants to pay his respects to John L. McLaurin, who recently addressed the cotton association in Greenville. Tillman is intensely jealous of McLaurin, and wants to prevent the curly haired statesman from getting anr otl er foot hold in South Carolina politics. In the meantime The Herald stands off and watches the fun. * *# A short time ago a young white man named Bedd entered the railroad depot at Bennettaville in the night time and stole over $200 r,nd a number of checks from the safe. The young man had been working at the depot without salary to learn the business, and of course had access to the safe and kiew where the money was kept. Suspicion attached to bim at once and his room wts searched and most of the money found. He Lad destroyed the checks. He confessed the crime and was put in jail. The railroad company agreed y - not to prosecute him if the money he had spent was returned, which was only $31. Redd's father wrote that he was not able to pay the money or to come and see about it, so several of the prominent citizens of the town endorsed the young , man's note, the money was returned, and he was released from jail. Redd then said he could not go back to his father, so he was given a position in the. town and went to work. There is much food for thought in this incident, and we are proud of Bennettsville, for it is our native town. The young fellow was not a hardened criminal, but he was a stranger there, having lived in the town only a few months. Yet the good people went to his rescue and gave him a chance to redeem himself and make a man. The action of those Bennettsville people is alL the more commendable when one realizes that such a course would not have been followed in most towns, even in South Carolina. In most places no notice would have been taken of the young fellow and he would have gone to prison no doubt aud came out a hardened criminal with all good impulses gone. All honor to the people of Bennettsville who gave the young fellow a chance to live down one bad act. \ Sudden Death In Edgefield. Edgefield, S. C,June 27.?Mrs. Bailey, wife of President Bailey, of the S. C. C. I., died very suddenly at her home here to-! day about 3 o'clock of acute appendicitis. Few knew that she was sick and the announcement of her death was a shock to the community. Mrs. Bailey was a daughter of Dr. Black, of Bamberg. She had lived in Edgefield since the removal of the Institute some six years ago, and by her many noble qualities had endeared herself to the! hearts of this people. Her body will be carried to Bamberg for interment. ' If in a kind of bilious mood, You wish an aid to digest food, No other pill is half so good As DeWitt's Little Early Risers.

The following taken from the Columbia State of Tuesday will be of interest to Bamberg people who remember Rev. M. M. Brabham, at one time a resident of this town. It is with regret that the death of this young man, Dr. K. E. Brabham is chronicled. "The funeral of Dr. R. Edward Brab nam, WilU5C ucaiu UVA/UiI VV* av luvvj 'k/Aa on Sunday evening at 8.30 o'clock, whs held at the Methodist church there yesterday. "Dr. Brabham was at the home of his wife's father, Mr. James Hill, when the end came. He had been a resident of Co- j lumbia for about two years, having been engaged as a pharmacist in the drug store of Dr. E. C. McGregor except for the time spent in completing his last year at college. Less than two months ago, he developed an aneurism of one of the large arteries near the heart and was taken to Ninety-Six, his former home and the home of bis wife. Here he declined gradually but steadily until the end. "One of the saddest features of his death is that he leaves a young widow to whom he had been married but eight months to the day of his funeral. She was Miss Tudie Hill, a daughter of Mr. James Hill, of Ninety-Six. "Dr. Brabham was 27 years of age. He was a son of the Rev. M. M. Brabham of the Methodist conference, who now resides at Leesville. Just one year ago last [ May he graduated with distinction from the Charleston College of Pharmacy and ! was valedictorian of his class. He was a young man of splendid character and an attractive personality." R. H. Sontag Bound Over. Mr. R. H. 'Sontag, of Denmark, came before Commissioner Robert Lide this morning charged with violating section 5480 of the Revised Statutes of the United J States, it being alleged that he had enter-! ed into a conspiracy to defraud, through the mails. Mr. Sontag was represented by Messrs. Jno. R. Bellinger, of Bamberg, and R. C. Hardwick, of Denmark, and the prosecution by Mr. E. T. LaFitte, also of j Bamberg. After hearing a full discussion | of the case Commissioner Lide bound over the accused to appear before the United States Court. He was admitted to bail which was promptly furnished. It 6eems, to state the contention briefly, it is alleged that Sontag entered into a conspiracy through the mails with a clerk of a Virginia tobacco house to furnish the | South Carolina party with tobacco tags which were to be sold to parties who wished to purchase them to obtain premiums offered by the company. It is charged that the tags were stolen in Virginia and then shipped to Denmark to be sold from that point. It is also alleged that a large sum of money was realized from their sale and that the tobacco company Was thereby defrauded. Mr.George S. Fitzwater, resident superintendent of the Baldwin Detective Agency, Savannah, Ga., worked up the case and caused the arrest of Sontag. Mr. E. T. LaFitte, of Bamberg, was employed by the Virginia company to prosecute the case. The hearing occupied several hours this morning with the decision to refer the whole matter to the United States Court as the final result.?Orangeburg Evening News, Tuesday June 27. An ingenious &wiss mecnanic claims to have invented an automatic baby nurse, says Tid-Bits. The apparatus is attached to a cradle. If the baby cries, air waves cause specially arranged wires to operate a phonograph, which sings lullaby,while simultaneously clockwork is released and rocks the cradle. When the crying ceases the wires fails to vibrate and the cradle stops rocking. THE CHILDREN'S FAVORITE. For coughs, croup, whooping cough, etc., One Minute Cough Cure is the children's favorite.

Cleaves, science teacher of the faculty of the University of Colorado, have devised a method by which one's height may be materially increased within a snort time. Their claims are backed up by actual experiments carried on among students at the university. The method is termed "cartilage extension." The process is conducted by applying mechanical force to the body while in a vertical position. Experiments on ten persons in the last three years have by actual measurement oinnanted the bodv from two to live y inches in from four to eight weeks, also permanently increasing chest measurements at the same time. A. B. Martin, a white man 54 years old, drowned himself in a few inches of water in a small branch at Spartanburg last Monday night. It is supposed that he committed the act in a fit of despondency.

Office at The Cotton Oil Co, STRANGE JAPANESE BELIEF. Woman Trpltef tb? Earth and Man the Sky, Say* * Kentuckian. "Man Is the sky; woman is the earth." Thus John P. Starts of Louis| ville, Ky., recently expressed one | strange belief of the Japanese. He ' and his wife a few days ago returned | from a tour of the globe, say^a Louisj ville special despatch to the Cincinnati i Enquirer. Mr. Starts used this observation, made by the Japs. Mr. Starts is one of the most prominent business men of Louisville. He said: "Ninety-five per cent of the Japanese Deiong to toe peasant ciass. iue pwr exist on 2 or 3 cents of our money per day. Their diet la rice and dried fish. The Buddhists are vegetarians. The Japanese seem happy and contented. Homelike conditions do not exist as here. Women are regarded as man's equal. The Japanese are superstitious. They are religious because they think It promotes business. The Japanese people are not Christianized. They are theoretically Buddhists and Shlntolsts. Shintoism Is ancestor worship and worship of patriotism. The Japanese are the greatest skeptics on earth today. They do not trust each other. "As a nation the Japanese are making wonderful strides. Officially they are honest. As soldiers they are the greatest on earth. An American - admiral whom I met told me. 'Man for man, they are the greatest soldiers on earth.' "All Japanese are fatalists. They do not fear death. They are patriotic to a degree that Is fanatical. A dead soldier elicits all their praise. A battle scarred veteran does not arouse them. They honor the dead; the living, to them, are a mere circumstance. The nation Is everything; the individual is nothing. "Japanese are hot to be trusted when it comes to a close proposition. For instance, in Yokohama, where we spent a great deal of time, there the Chinese are tellers In banks. The Chinese hre the best artisans, clerks and workman The clothes worn by the Japanese, I should lodge, cost about QP cents. The Japanese, as a race, are barefooted and bareheaded. 1 saw them naked In the fields." Mr. Starks said that he knew the Japanese to be patriotic to the extent that they would commit suicide (harakiri) before yielding to a foe. A ROSE FOR MOURNING. tevamutb Peddler Dtrdopa a Cool Black Flower. Mourning roses may become popular now that Dennis Tapley of Savannah, G&., a cripple who peddled key rings In the streets and whose hobby was the cultivation of flowers, has developed a coal black variety, according to a Savannah dispatch, that experts say is a wonder. Fur ages naturalists have been trying to produce a black rose, but never attained their object Tapley now declares that by bis method he has perfected a bud with petals as black as a raven's wing. This, he asserts, he does without the use of chemicals. He has named the rose the Mourning, and be says it is bound to bring him wealth. "Alloc Blue" a Fad. It will be a case of blues with more than one gin mis season wu?u sue letnis that an the latest costumes, Including bats and hosiery, are of a decidedly bluish color, says the New York Press. Bow disheartened she win be If In a moment of rashness she has listened to the early predictions of fashion and ordered Innumerable fluffy muslins and gowns of shimmering silk, of rose or heliotrope hue! It win mean that either she must procure an entire new outfit or endure being called "unfashionable." Of course this suits the dressmakers and dealers In such materials, for no sooner does a style or color become In the least degree popular than they straightway look cross eyed at It and rack their brains to conjure up something as yet undreamed of by society to take Its place. The new shade is called Alice blue in honor of Miss Roosevelt, who has a decided liking for tt, and Is betwixt and between a baby blue and a navy. To the girl with eyes to match It Is exceedingly, becoming. Color Core For All Ilia. A new cult has sprung up In Boston, the home of cults and fads, and the chief apostle Is Miss Flora Macdonald, a lecturer on art and designer of stained glass -windows, says a Boston dispatch to the New York Tribune. The new cult, which may be termed the color cure for want of a better name, teaches that color will cure all mortal Ills if properly used. Are you a nervous -wreck?
