In the contest for speaker of the house of representatives Bamberg's delegation got on the losing side. Both Messrs. Garris and Miley voted for McColl. The Joshua Simpkins Co., which is to appear here on the 23rd, is a mighty poor show, says the Gaffney Ledger. In fact, our friend DeCamp gave them a hot 'V. roast. D. A.

Miss Rebecca Jenny, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Jenny, of Jenny, will be married at the home of her parents, this (Wednesday) morning to Mr. Carl W.Ficken.Jr. Bamberg's house delegation fared pretty poorly in the matter of committee appointments. Mr. Miley got on only two committees, and they are about as unimportant as they well could be. Invitations have been issued to a reception to be given by the faculty and students of the Carlisle Fitting School on Saturday evening, February 2nd, in i the chapel. It is to be quite a.nice affair. Mr. Mark Toney, of Johnston, died in Chester last week at a hospital, where he . was for treatment. Mr. Toney was known and had relatives in this county. 'He was the father of Mrs. J. Ham Kirkland, of the Olar section. Mrs. Lizzie Harley, wife of W. Brooks Harley, died at the home of her daughter in Colombia last Thursday. She was buried Friday at Blackville.

The Bell Telephone Company has a k* force of men at work here. They are preparing to rebuild the local telephone lines, and the work is badly needed, for the service now is very poor. The in5..^;:' . duction from the electric light wires jfev makes it very ijard to hear after the curVW rent is turned on in the afternoon. FOR SALE CHEAP?Two fine Jersey heifers. Apply to H. S.

Walterboro Press and Standard. Eggs, cheese, butter, mackerel fresh every week at D. A. Kinard & Co. Capt. J. A. Benson died at the hospital & - in Columbia last Saturday. He had been sick for a week or more at the home of Mr. Geo. A. Jennings, where he boarded, and was carried to the hospital for treatment the first part of last week. He had been staying in Bamberg most of the time for the past two years, having built the new Methodist church and the residence of Mr. Jones A. Williams, the work on the Williams residence being almost completed. Capt. Benson Jwas about sixty years old. Bright's disease was the cause of his death. He was a resident of Camden, and leaves a wife and several children. j ' Negro Shoots Another. / While gambling out near the old baseball park last Sunday, Mike Guess was shot by John Minnegan, both negroes. Minnegan immediately took leg bail, and has not been seen since. The ball took > \ effect in the negro's leg, but he is not much hurt. Minnegan is well-known as a negro who does nothing but gamble, and Guess has recently been released from the county chain gang. John Minnegan was in our office this s morning Deiore we went 10 press, auu when we asked him about the difficulty between he and Mike Guess, he said they were not gambling, but that the fight grew out of a debt which Guess owed him. That Guess had attempted to cut him with a dirk, and he had to shoot him in self defense. That he had not run v, away, but had been in town ever since the affair happened. He showed us a signed agreement between he and Guess that there was to be no prosecution and Minnegan was to pay the doctor's bill. Guess is not much hurt. ^ Builds up waste tissue, promotes appetite, improves digestion, induces refreshing sleep, gives renewed strength and health.

Last Saturday night the negroes had a hot supper on Mr. C. M. Varn's plantation in the Colston section, and the usual free fight of such affairs took place. Jasper Odom is in jail charged with the killing of Gabriel Willis, the coroner's jury returning a verdict that he fired the fatal shot. The coroner held an inquest, and several witnesses were examined, all negroes. One negro says he saw Odom shoot Willis, but other testimony conflicts with this. It seems that Willis was standing in the door and some one out in the dark fired at him with a gun, the load taking effect in his left breast and stomach, he being filled with shot from his chest to his waist. The hot supper was held at Odom's house. Odom protests that he is not the guilty party. Knights of Pythias. At a regular meeting of Bamberg lodge, Knights of Pythias, held last Monday evening, the rank of Knight was conferred upon M. M. Smoak. District Deputy W. D. Rhoad installed the following officers to serve for the ensuing year: J. F. Carter, chancellor commander; J. A. Wyman, vice chancellor; C. F. Ellzey, prelate; L. B. Fowler, master of work; H. C. Folk, keeper of records and seal and master of finance; A. E. H. Simmons, master of exchequer; D. J. Delk, master at arms; W. D. Bessinger, inner guard; H. W. Adams, outer guard. The lodge is well officered and ought to do good work during the coming year. Fitting School Notes. The members of the lyceum received a rare treat Saturday night in the lecture of Dr. Frank Dixon. Dr. Dixon delivered his famous sociological lecture entitled * 'The Man against the Mass," giving it in such a way as to appeal to the popular mind and yet bringing out Hie great fundamental principles of this great and growing subject. He held the undivided attention of his audience for over an hour and a half. The next attraction, the committee is glad to announce, will be the famous 'cello virtuoso, Karl Grienauer, of Vienna. The arrangements have been completed and he is scheduled for February 14th. We should consider ourselves peculiarly fortunate in having Mr. Grienauer, and it was only by the rarest good fortune that we were enabled to get him. He is an undisputed master,' and captured Bamberg on his visit last year. This, however, is not a regular . .yceum ctLtracuuu. Members of the Kilgo and Sheridan societies are preparing themselves for they contest which is to be held next month, and at which a medal will be given to the best declaimer from each society. Quite *a bit of interest is being shown and it will doubtless be quite an exciting contest. We were visited last week by two of our old students, Messrs. Sheddie Arant and George Ulmer. The warm weather is causing the thoughts of the boys to turn toward base-ball. - They are practicing every afternoon.
