The short train from Black I ville to Kingville will be taken off, *' but another will be instituted. This train will run from Augusta to r--'. Charleston and will give Bamberg U six passenger trains a day. The train which now arrives at 9:22 a. m. will arrive about 9:15 a. m., but will * not stop, only carrying mail.

Our Military Company. v--' About two months ago the BamI berg Guards were inspected by the Adjutant General of this state and a -, regular army officer. There show* ing must have been bad, as General Boyd says the company will be put P; , on the reserve list or on probation. This was the statement published in M The State a few days ago. We called : on Capt. E. L. Price and asked him about the matter, but he had received no notification of any action by the adjutant general, and had not seen the article mentioned. He said the Guards made a poor showing as regards attendance at the recent inspection, but he does not anticipate that the company will be disbanded. ft/ ; . . New Advertisements. L. B.

Speaks, of Bamberg, writes as follows: "The State convention of the Epworth League was in session here last week. The town was filled with preachers and delegates, the latter nearly all young ladies, who Editor Knight of the Bamberg Herald (who is given to speaking his mind) said seemed more intent on having a good time than anything else! While confessing that the same thought occurred to us, we would remind Bro. Knight that the delegates were all good looking; remind Bro. Knight that as the young ladies were pretty, and the young men of Bamberg attractive, it was natural that the former did not always keep in mind the work they came to do!" To Wire the school Building. This is a movement on foot to wire the graded school building for electric lights, and if the work is to be done at all it ought to be done before the commencement exercises in June. Mr. John Cooner has the matter of securing subscriptions in charge, and he has already raised about $30, less than half of the required amount. It will cost $42 to wire the upper story and halls, and if all the lower floor is to be included, the total cost will be $69.00. If you want to subscribe, call on Mr. Cooner at once. Every patron of the school should contribute to the fund.

The order dismissed the case unless the plaintiff, Castles, paid the costs of the term of court within 20 days from the rising of the court, which he failed to do. The clerk of court of Lancaster thereupon entered up judgment for all the costs of the case against the plaintiff, amounting to $349.20. This will probably end the matter. Commencement Exercises. A meeting of the board of trustees of ! the Bamberg graded school was held i Tuesday afternoon, at which it was decided to have commencement exercises at the close of the school. June 23rd and 24th are the dates, and Prof. W. H. Hand, of the South Carolina University at Columbia, will be invited to deliver the annual address. Tbe board will meet to-day (Thursday) to elect teachers for next year. Another shipment of laces at E. A. Hooton's. . I TILLnANIN PITTSBURG. Exciting Incident at One of the Senator's Lectures. Pittsburg, Pa., April 24.?As a precautionary measure 22 detectives and a squad of uniformed policemen were stationed in the Carnegie music hall tonight during the address of Senator Benj. Tillman of South Carolina, who discussed the race problem before the Park Avenue (Allegheny) Athletic club. Several exciting inci^nrinrr flio aHrlrpcfi UCUIA UtOUi VU UULIllg W?IV but no trouble resulted. There were but ten negroes in the audience which filled the music hall to overflowing. At the close of his address in which he declared the races in the South were gradually becoming more opposed to one another Senator Tillman called for a vote of the audience as to whether the negro was the equal of the white man. The entire audience, except the ten negroes, voted in the negative by rising. One man took exception to Tillman's remarks and made several interruptions. Tillman made him admit he came from Europe and he bitterly denounced Europeans in America who undertake to judge questions concerning this country. In speaking of whether the negro can be educated Senator Tillman declared that Booker T. Washington was the harbor of refuge and safety to which people flee when other places fail, ana that Booker T. Washington was but one negro in 10,000,000 and was half white at that. What Our Reporter Saw In New York.

The county dispensary board opened bids and samples at their office last Monday. Fifty-four cases containing samples of whiskey and the same number of bids had been sent in, and when the whiskey was moved from the county treasurer's office to the office of the board it made a dray load. The samples were all opened up and assorted and the bids gone into, but the board made no purchases, adjourning until today (Wednesday.) There was a large quantity of whiskies of all kinds, wines, beer, etc., sent as samples, and this will be put in stock and sold after the purchases have been made, unless the different houses order it returned, which is not likely. Several gentlemen were present when the samples and bids were opened, the board desiring all the publicity possible. The matter of purchases will be gone into carefully, as the board has no desire to overstock with the dispensary election coming on. There was a little hitch between the treasurer and county board when it came to turning over the samples and bids. County Treasurer Folk wanted the board to give him a receipt in detail, that is for each bottle of whiskey, etc., and this the board declined to do, claiming that the treasurer had only given a receipt by the case to the express company. The treasurer called up the attorney general for advice, and the matter was finally settled by the county board giving a. receipt for for each case or package. KilledUy* Electric Wire. Spartanburg, April 29.? Robt. Calvert, a little boy, 14 years of age, was instantly killed tnis morning about 11 o'clock by catching hold of electric light wires running through a culvert near Beaumont mills. He and a companion were playing in the stream beneath the stone arch when he reached overhead and laid hold of the wire which carries the electric current from the city power station to the mill. He fell and his little companion fled for assistance. When he returned the lifeless body of the youth was found. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Calvert who reside in the Beaumont mill village. South Carolina League Conference. . The following is clipped from the Epworth Era, published at Nashville, Tenn., of which Dr. Horace U. DuBose is editor: "The Editor was guest of the South Carolina Leagues at their recent Conference session in Bamberg, a town famous as 'the head of navigation' of the first railroad built in the United States. The Charleston and Augusta Railroad, built in* the early, 'thirties' of the last century from Charleston to Bamberg, was operated by means of sails set above the rolling carriages, as are sails above the decks of boats. This was our locally received information, and this the histories seem to bear out. The town is now a flourishing middlesized city of the Southern type, and the road is part of the great 'Southern' system. "The League Conference was a profound success. The strength of he League has quite doubled in the State during the past few years, and the spirit of zeal and enthusiasm is running at high tide. In the hands of Watson, Stokes, and Roper as successive presidents the work has been Slanned, pushed and fostered into fe and activity, ""he meetings at this session were jeply spiritual and profitable to high degree. Rev. Ed F. Cook, Re \ J. W. Wolling, this Editor, and South Carolina leaders were on the programme. Rev. Peter Stokes, the pastor at Bamberg, made a host indeed. Our home at Editor Knight's, of the Bamberg Herald, was a haven of Christian rest and refreshing. We parted with those young spirits of the Palmetto State with regret, but assured that victory is their motto. The Conference voted to support a missionary in Cuba and readily subcribed the money for that purpose. Prayers are now goingup that South Carolina may furnish the man to represent its Leagues in tbis.servy y ice. Baptist Young; Peoples Union. The members of the Baptist Young Peoples Union will have a "fruit picnic" next Wednesday afternoon> May 1st, in the oak grove near Mr. C. B. Free's late residence. The young folks are to assemble at the Baptist church at 4 o'clock and arrange to go from there. This Union has been organized only about six weeks. At the first meeting there were quite a number present and the membership enrollment was 35 with a dozen or more applicants since. The following officers were elected: C. W. Rentz, Jr., president; Charlie Black, vice president; David Felder, secretary and treasurer; Miss Elise Rentz, organist; Miss Ellen Felder, corresponding secretary. C. W. Rentz, Jr., and Rev. A. J. Foster were sent as delegates to the State B. Y. P. U. convention which was held at Columbia during the second week of April. They returned filled with enthusiasm for the work of the union, and are already planning great things for the ensuing year. We hope to make this organization a successful one and trust that each and every member will be sufficiently interested to take an active part. Jolly.
