L ' B. Hutto, of Denmark, arrived here late this afternoon bringing with him six negroes who are charged with having thrown stones at an excursion train near Denmark Monday. The negroes range from 15 to 22 or 23. They were carried r to the county jail for safe keeping. The damage said to have been done by the stones was only a few broken windows, but serious injury might have occurred and it is very probable that the full extent of the law will be given tie gang. I a ' IN THE PALMETTO STATE. INTERESTING OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS KINDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. State News Boiled Down for Quick Reading Pungent Paragraphs About Men and Happenings. More than $340,000 is being put into buildings in Charleston just now. The old city is building up and improving right along. A negro named Jack McMillan was killed on the Union and Glenn Springs Railroad by lightning last Monday. The negro was standing on a flat car leaning on a shovel and the train was running about ten miles an hour. A pistol fell from the pocket of Judson Wright as he jumped out of a baggage car ai me uuiuu auu vicuu uwpot in Union last Sunday night. The weapon struck the floor of the car and fired, mortallywounding Thos. Knox. Eugene Merritt, a negro convict on the chain gang of Florence county, was drowned in Black Creek in that county last Saturday afternoon. He went in bathing with his shackles on and the strong current carried him out of his depth. Merritt killed another negro and was serving a sentence of five years. Bob Davis, a negro, attempted to assault Miss Jennie Brooks at the store of her father in Greenwood county Tuesday. She was alone and he attacked her with a meat knife which he had picked up in the store. Her hands were badly cut and a ghastly wound, about four inches long was made in her throat. She finally fought him off and secured the knife, and a passerby, Mr. Talbert, rode iVtA f t ?v% n a?i/) f V n up 1U Uib UUggjT JU31 ai lUl? UUIC airu tue negro ran. He is being tracked with blood hounds and will be lynched if caught. After the negro left he assaulted a negro woman a few miles away. Although fearfully wounded, it is thought Miss Brooks will recover. A Strong Arraignment. When a candidate for the House of Representatives comes to you asking your support and states that he is an advocate of the State dispensary system, get him to explain to you his reason for supporting a political machine tbat is honeycombed with corruption; that has contaminated nearly every man who has been connected witji its management; that has dragged the name of South Carolina in the gutter and besmirched her honor; that has increased, instead of decreased, the amount of liquor drunk; that has not reduced the taxes of the poor man as is claimed; that has flooded our State with rotgut liquor; that has taken thousands of dollars from the different counties in the State for the school fund, returning only a small per cent, thereof; that has been patched and doctored since its inception, aud is now in a worse state than its first. Ask him how, in heaven's name: ne expects you, an intelligent voter, to support him, when he is advocating a system that is degrading the morals of our State and is legalizing the : right to steal!?Barnwell Sentinel. Equalization a Farce. __ What's in a name?for instance the State board of equalization? How can there be any reason or equality in requir- ! ing coiporations with visible assets to pay taxes on sixty per cent of their total valuation, while other classes of taxable property only pay on not over half this valuation? Granting that they pay on a forty per cent valuation as is claimed by the State board, why should there be any disparity at all? No class should receive any special favors at the hands of the board, but all classes of property should be required to bear its legitimate share of the burdens of taxation and the present system of tax dodging should be brought i to its timely end by the next legislature in the adoption of a sensible and more equitable method of assessing property for taxation. Unless the assembled ingenuity of the next legislature can devise some means by which the constitutional method of making returns at actual value can be made effective, the name of the present board should be changed to the State hoard of favoritism.?Anderson Intelligencer. For Congress, 2nd District, B. B Hare. Mr. B. B. Hare, of Saluda county, has made a record breaking campaign in the second district for congress. By a persistent, high-toned, gentlemanly canvass he has made himself known and felt by nearly every voter in the district. We have been in nearly every county in the district and have vet to find a sinsde man to criticise his campaign or to speak in any way disparaging of him. He is looked upon as being honest, clean and able. As a stump speaker he easily outclasses his opponents. Those who are in a position to know unhesitatingly say that he will roll up a vote that wfll even surprise him and his most sanguine friends. B. B.

The Bamberg Guards Return After a Week of Camp Life and Report a Pleasant Trip. The boys of the Bamberg Guards have been looking forward with pleasure to the encampment which was to be held at Chickamauga Park and it was a happy crowd that boarded the 8 o'clock train J Friday morning, August 3rd, for Chickamauga. We arrived at Columbia about 12 o'clock and the different companies all formed in line ana marched to the State House where they were reviewed by the Governor and General Frost. We then marched to the depot and boarded the train for Chickamauga. The railroad officials did all they could for the com fort of the boy%. Besides the canned goods we had en route we were served with hot coffee at different points which was certainly eDjoyed by all. We arrived in Chattanooga Saturday evening about 12 o'clock and after a stop of a few minutes proceeded to Chickamauga Park. After arriving there the rest of the evening was spent in getting everything in shape for the week's work. Sunday the boy's had a quiet dpy. There was religious services Sunday which was attended by the Second Regiment in a body. Monday the boys had a taste of real army life. We marched out several miles from camp for practice and as we started back to camp it commenced to rain and continued to rain until we reacnea camp, and everyone got a number one soaking. Some of the boys were heard singing "Home Is Nothing Like This" and there is no doubt some would have liked to have been at "Home, Sweet Home" then. The rest of the week was spent in practice drills in the extended order. There were two sham battles?one Wednesday and one Friday. The governor and his staff reviewed the troops Friday evening. We broke camp Friday night and left Chickamauga two o'clock Saturday morning arriving here 4 o'clock Sunday morning. Col. Thompson, who was in command of the Second Regiment, is a favorite with all the boys. Col. Fuller, who is well-known and liked by all the boys, was also there and assisted in the encampment. The behavior of the boys was worthy of commendation, as there was no fight- j ing or rowdyism whatever in our regi-1 ment. ' There are many points of historic in-; terest in and around Chickamauga and Chattanooga. Chickamauga Park is dotted with monuments and slabs. These slabs mark the spots where different engagements took place and where the dif- J ferent generals and troops were stationed | during the Civil war. There are several old log cabins in the park which were used for different purposes by the troops f)nrinrr tho civties Whori nnp is rrnin cr UUitU^, vuv WAAVtVWI ff VMV *w gVkUQ over this ground it brings up to each one's minds the stories that our parents and grandparents have told of us those trying days in the sixties "when many a mother's husband or boy went out to fight for the Lost Cause never to return again. On Wednesday when we were returning from a march we passed the slab which marked the spot where Ker-j shaw's brigade was stationed, there went up one mighty cheer from the whole regiment which shows that the younger generation holds dear the memory of such men as Kershaw and will honor "them as j long as their is any Southerq blood in their veins, and if we are ever called upou to fight for our country may we be as true and fight as valiantly for our country as ourgrandfathers and fathers did j for the Lost Cause. Nearly all of the boys took advantage of the opportunity to visit the city of Chattanooga and visit the points of interest there and although we couid only spend just a short while there each one made the most of his time and all reported a very pleasant time. The principal point of interest was Lookout Mountain. The trip up the mountain is made up the mountain on cars cirawn oy large caoies. When one strikes the incline proper they don't like to contemplate what would happen if the cable was to break. The incline is 67 feet out of the one hundred feet in height. The scenery from the top of the mountain is grand. You can see mountains in seven different states from this point and below the mountain the Tennessee river wends its way. To one who has never been on top of a mountain (and a good maj;. fhe boys never had) this was the most interesting part of our trip. Our officers did everything they could to make our trip an enjoyable as well as an instructive one. We fared very well and although we did not have a variety of food it was prepared well by our cook, Uncle Frank Pugh, and our boys could sure enjoy it when we had been on the marches. Although we had some very bad weather and some hard work to do, and one or two cases of sickness, taking the trip as a whole it was enjoyed by all and there is no regrets to be heard from any side. Now boys, let each one take a personal pride in our company and attend all drills and work together and when we go to the Jamestown exposition we can * -A-w. ~ ?3 ft? ft-? nave me uauuei eumpauj ul iuc oiaic. .

SOME INTERESTING HAPPENINGS IN VARIOUS SECTIONS. News Items Gathered All Around the County and Elsewhere. Ehrhardt Etchings. Ehrhardt, August 13.? Mr Wm. R. Hiers, of Ehrhardt, could have marketed a bale of new cotton the first of last week, but says he had to gather his fodder and would not bother to pick the cotton until he got through stripping his A* QA?*A WA ViA0 m AfA f v?nn O Vtalo luuuci. uaj a uc uaa uivi? iuau t> uuiv open in his fields now. He has as good crop of cotton as there is in this section, and the beauty is, it is his, only used about $90 worth of fertilizer (commercial) on his three or four horse farm. Has old cotton on hand yet and owes nothing on the growing crop. If all our farmers were like him. then we could say to the factory men what will you give us for f our cotton, and if their offer did not suit, could tell them you can't get it. This, however, is not the case. The height of our cotton is spent before it is made and papers given over same for supplies, so when gathered must go on the market and get what they can for it. Mr. W. L. Mitchum and Miss Sarah Beard were married last week. Miss Mattie Moore and Mr. Ed. Folk were married at the bride's home last week.

She leaves four children, two sons, and two daughters, besides a host of friends and relatives to mourn her departure. May God comfort them in their sad affliction. Her remains were laid to rest in the St. John's cemetery, of which church she was a life long member. . ] Mr. T. D. Beard attended the district meeting of the Knights of Pythias held at Aiken last week. Mr. W. L. Mitchum, of Ehrhardt, and Miss Sarah Beard were united in marriage last Wednesday.

' Our Correspondent Gives the Views of Legislative Candidates?Most of Them Follow Till- I man's Lead as to the Dispensary, Compulsory Education and Immigration. The second campaign meeting of Bam- ' berg county was held at Olar last Friday, the 10th instant. All candidates, except those for the legislature, spoke before dinner. Each can- 1 didate earnestly expressed his desire for i the office he is seeking. ] The meeting adjourned for dinner 1 about one o'clock. The ladies of Olar < expressed their hospitality by spreading a delicious and bountiful dinner. The i meeting reassembled about two thirty ] o'clock to hear the speeches of thecanpi- ( dates for the legislature, in which great interest was taken. 3 The first speaker of the afternoon was < Oont T R txrVm marfp a sf.rnntr W . XJ J, W1VAVA) I? 44V % I appeal in behalf of prohibition. He em- i phatically stated, "The dispensary is one of the greatest curses of today. We have e had the dispensary for fourteen years t and have had strife. I believe strife will c last as long as the dispensary lasts." In r speaking of trying to reform the dispensary by putting good men in the dispensary offices, Mr. Felder said, "We have a plenty of honest men in South Carolina, v but how are we going to get them? I don't believe a good man can hold a position in the dispensary and look a lady J in the face with a clear conscience. I fr don't believe a good man can hold a posi- a tion in the dispensary without feeling ashamed of himself for holding such a position. I am in favor of prohibition; b if we can't have prohibition I am in fav- p or of high license." Some one in the audience asked Mr. . Felder, "If elected, will you try to put tJ down Tillman?" Mr. Felder answered b "No; I am somewhat of a Tillmanite my- I self. I have always voted for Tillman, ^ but he is now out of his place. I have a bov larger than I, named for Ben Tillman. " If I go to the legislature, I will go to rep- e resent my people and not to hunt a posi- e tion in the dispensary or elsewhere." ; The second speaker for the house was B. W. Miley. He favors improvement of our roads, i He thinks that we should make a greater r advancement in the educational world during the next ten years than we made during the last ten years. c He does not favor compulsory educa- 1 tion. He believes in equal taxation; tax- t es in one county should be same as taxes in other counties in proportion to value of property. He believes in liberal pensions to Con- < federate soldiers. Mr. Miley favors a re- \ formed dispensary. He said that if we coold have prohibition that would run ' whiskey out of the country, he would be ; in favor of prohibition. He said, "To < manage this evil we must reform the dis* j pensary. With graft eliminated and good whiskey I believe the people will join hands that the dispensary is the best so- 1 lution." He believes in doing away with j case goods and buying from the govern- , ment ware house." Bring it to Columbia and erect a bottling plant, then we can guarantee the whiskey. Voice from the i audience, "They guarantee it now." Mr. Miley said, "If we can't purify the State dispensary, how can we establish county dispensaries and guarantee no i graft?'' He believes in taking the profits 1 from the State dispensary, and turning them into county and school funds. j He said that he does not want to be ] elected for any extra reward or job. Question from audience: "I heard that during the last campaign you were ap! proached by the dispensary board and asked if elected would you be in favor of reappointing the old "board. Is this report true?" Mr. Miley: "I was approached by ! friends of that board and asked that . question. I told them that I would make ( no promise as to making any appointment." 31 r. Jtl. 31. ijrrauaui was tuc ucai s^icoa- er introduced to the audience. He fav- < ors better roads, and pensions to Confederate soldiers. He believes in abolishing the immigration law. Thinks we can 1 make out with negro labor. He favors 1 draining these low lands. He is opposed s to compulsory education. In favor of j higher education and betterment of common schools. ( He has always voted for prohibition < but wants to represent his people, and J believes that the majority of the people j of Bamberg county are in favor of the dispensary law reformed. Voice from 1 audience, 'Til swear I'm not." Mr. Graham thinks that we can get honest men to run the dispensary. He does not want to get to the legislature to be rewarded with a position. Mr. C. W. Garris was the last speaker ' of the day. ] His oratorical powers were in fine trim , for the occasion. He stands by the com- ' mon school system. He favors high education in the State colleges. Not in fav- i or of compulsory education, and immi- i gratlon laws. He would like to see evprv dollar taxed alike. "ke~ favors the reformed dispensary, i Says that we can't stop the drinking of whiskey. < Question from audience: "How can one drink whiskey, if he can't get it." Mr. Garris: "I have a boy; should he be in a prohibition town and want a drink of whiskey and could not find a blind tiger I would want him to go to the asy- , lum." Mr. Garris said that more murders, etc., will result from a quart of whiskey sold i illegally out of the back door than from j a keg of whiskey sold legally out of the front door. Mr. Garris was questioned a great deal. When he began his speech he stated that he came in one of being a lawyer himself and would have been but he reformed and joined the church before he was admitted to the bar. Before he closed his speech he was asked these questions: "Do you think the dispensary institution is anything tending toward spiritual reformation?" Mr. Garris: "Well, I don't know about that." "What are the net profits of the dispensary and how and where are they applied?" Mr. Garris: "I don't know. Ttn per cent goes to the schools." Leiohton A.
