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.

- 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 famous little pills !Early Risers
cure constipation, sick headache, biliousness,
etc. They never gripe or sicken, but i
impart early rising energy. Good for'
either children or adults. Bob Moore, of
LaFayette, Ind., says: "No use talking,
DeWitt's Little Early Risers do their
work. All other pills I have used gripe
and make me sick. DeWitt's Little Early
Risers brought the long sought relief.
"They are perfect." Sold by H. F. Hoover.

Thou hast thy message so dearly told
That thy disciples, thy worshippers

And glance upward toward thy shrine,
From whence true words near divine
Hath hither come and made me see
Thy ways, thy love, thy sincerity.
Tho' now no fame crowds about thee
Not any thing can make me doubt thee
For I love thee, and the morning
Of any doubt is far from dawning
In my heart; and human kindness
And human loye are far from blindness.

For every thought of joy, a sigh
We exist, we live, and we die,
And the years ask not"if we ever were."

Death of Dr. R. ?. Brabham.
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.

How to Grow Tall Quickly.
Denver, June 28.?David B. Cropp,
physical director, and FordyceP. 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.

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

Squirrel m a Planter.
| C. B. Edwards of Raleigh, N. C., has
j offered the gardener at the capltol a
number of Japan walnut slips. He has
| a Japan walnut tree In his yard, and
this was visited by a squirrel from tho
capltol grounds, says the B&leigh News'
and Observer. The squirrel ate most
of the walnuts, but burled a number
close to the rose bushes in Mr, Ed-'
wards' yard. These produced the slipr
that Mr. Edwards sow proposes to
