Strong Sermon. 1 Rev. Peter Stokes, pastor of the Methodist church in this city, is serving up to his congregation rare literary feasts, in the shape of a ' * series of sermons on the subject of "Religion." Last Sunday his subject was "Religion in the Home Life." This he handled in a masterful manner, his well aimed thrusts striking deep into the consciences of the majority of the parents present. He especially emphasized the fact that too many parents are leaving the religious training of their children to the Sunday-school, which condition should not exist. Next Sunday, the subject will be "Religion in the Business Life." This will evidently be of vital interest to the men, and it is to be hoped they'll not make themselves conspicuous by their absence. In all snlemmfcv. we would sucrcrest that those who stay away from church ? are depriving themselves voluntarily < of a literary treat. V> " /; 1. . V v . . , : - < - . .. '.v . - ' Cotton Association Meeting. A meeting of the Bamberg County j Cotton Association is called to meet in the court house at Bamberg on Monday, August 5th, at 10.30 o'clock. This meeting is held to get our organization into working shape and to enroll new members. Every farmer and business man in the coun ty should join the association, as we are all interested in the price of cotton. We must organize if we expect to accomplish anything. We can do nothing through individual effort. We hope to have a large fVio fir-cf MnnHnv UUVVU pi COCllt Uli lllv U1U1 , and it is our desire to make the association a live, working organization for the good of our whole people. Don't put the matter aside by saying your neighbor won't go into it and it is no use for you to come unless he does. Come yourself. The success of the movement rests with the individual, and the responsibility for its success or failure is with you. We also want to talk about.building a warehouse. So come and let us see if we can't do something. Come and listen to what we say and do anyway. We won't do you any harm at least. By order of the president. A. W. Knight, Bamberg, July 15. Secretary. Home Mission Items. During the last session of congress there was a special appropriation of $15,000 to be used in careful investigation of the conditions of labor among working women and children. Mrs. Russell Sage has recently given $10,000,000 for the improvement of social and living conditions in the United States. While much of this amount will be expended in New York city, Mrs. Sage expressly stip? '-J Ka notinnol Uiates Lll&L Uic wuxrv must uc uativum in its scope. These are wise appropriations. We would also mention two very generous donations that have recently been placed for Home Mission work: one friend of the rescue work sends $1,000 to go into the new building at Dallas, Tex., and another $500 to be applied to the mountain work. The auxiliary at Bamberg is expecting to make things interesting in the early future. Before the cold days come our parlor at the church will be cosy and attractive. We have placed an -order with the general secretary for a set of charts and maps, these covering such subjects as immigration, religions of the United States, parsonages, schools, and city mission work, thus making our monthly | meetings more attractive-and interesting. During the winter we hope also to add the reading course tp our program. The committee on press work will at an early date, prepare a book of programs for use in the work of the i children and these we expect to utilize as soon as available. Death of Little Ernestine Jones. Ernestine, the two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Jones, died at their home in this city last Thursday jnorning. The little one had been sick for a long time, and for some weeks its recovery was not hoped for. The burial took place Friday afternoon at Restland cemetery, the services being conducted by , Rev. Peter Stokes. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of their many friends in their affliction. A Serious flatter. Editor The Bamberg Herald:?Do the members of the town council know that the city cartmen dump the refuse of the town within 100 yards of the front gate of the residences on Railroad avenue?there to rot and breed disease? Gentlemen, this ought not to be. It is a serious matter to us who live near. Could not a rack be built and this refuse be burned? JN EAR-BY-KESIDENT. The Eye* of the Eagrie. That the eagle has a most wonderful power of vision is shown from the fact that it flies in almost a straight line for any object which it desires to secure. Baby eng'es also possess this farsightedness. Long before human eyes can discern them their gaze is fixed on distance. and their cries of welcome to their parents are shrill and continuous. The structure of their eyes makes them peculiarly strong. The brightest glare of sunlight does not affect them. Eagles do not fly as high in the air as some other birds, but their flight is very long and steady. A peculiarity about eagles is that they are constant to their mates, not changing every season, as most birds do. Sometimes the same pair of eagles will return to the same nest year After year. They seem to become acquainted with the locality, and if they are not disturbed are regular tenants. The citizens of Greenwood are taking steps to erect a hospital in that city. A steamer has been purchased and a boat line will be established between Georgetown and Cheraw. The young woman who was traveling with Boulay, the Baltimore man who committed suicide in Charleston, has joined the Salvation Army in that city. Three shooting affairs took place in Laurens county this week. C. D. Nance, a white man, shot a negro hand who attacked him with a knife. The two other killings were among negroes. Indications are that the dispensary election in this county will be a very tame affair. Our people are taking little interest in it so far. There is no use to get excited over it anyway. The weather is too hot and you ought to have work enough of your own to keep you busy. FREE TRIP TO EXPOSITION. Moye's Voting Contest Will Give Valuable Prizes to Contestants. Well the first month of the contest is over, and never before in the history of voting business has anything been seen like it. The prizes for this month were fought for without any letting up of interest at any single moment. The prize winners were as follows : First prize for most popular young lady, won by Miss Sadie Brabham. Second prize for young lady, won by Miss Blanche Garland. First prize for most popular young gentleman, won by Mr. George Hoover. But this is only the beginning, for there will be three such monthly con tests, each one separate in itseii, Dut an going to make up the grand contest, for which there will be given two round trip tickets to the Jamestown Exposition, one for the young lady and one for the young man receiving the highest ( vote between June 8 and September 8. , The prizes as offered before will hold good, a first prize each month of a five 1 pound box of Wiley's candy to the young lady, and a three pound box to the young j man. But bear m mind the greatest of all and that is the free trip to the Jamestown Exposition. In counting the votes this month, ! there were two coupons, one for 100 , votes and one for 25 votes, which had to , be thrown out entirely because there were no names attached, so be sure to put the name of the one for whom you are voting, and remember that each , purchase at the fount and each cigar , kAn/rlit unti fn nnp vnfp UVUKii^ ^llbtvtvu j v%? wv w.?w - ?

TALE OF fl TURTLE, A Man In a Nightgown and Five Frightened Women. PANIC IN PINE BROOK, N. J. Peter Cash and His Tortoise, Mistaken For Ghosts, Come Near Being Made Into Real Ghosts by Jacob Konnor's Pistol. There was turtle soup for dinner the other day at Jacob Konnor*s boarding bouse, Pine Brook, N. J. But the soup was not tasted even by Mrs. Hermann Goldschmidt of New York, Miss Rosa Goldschmidt, Mrs. Emil Harris of Springfield avenue, Newark; Miss Ethel Harris or Mrs. Rachel Kaufman. The five women have acquired a certain antipathy to turtle. Seeking innocent diversion and healthful exercise, the five walked together Sunday evening from the boarding house to meet the 7 o'clock stage. Returning In the fast deepening dusk. - 1-.J - I J tney naa reucueu a ueuu iu wc mau about 100 yards from the house when a terrifying apparition confronted and approached them. It was a tall, gaunt figure clad in white from head to heel. It held suspended from Its right hand a misshapen mass, which despite its form was plainly animate, struggling. Shrieking, Mrs. Kaufman, Miss - Rosa and Miss Ethel darted past the ghostly form and ran to the boarding house. Mrs. Goldschmidt and Mrs. Harris swooned. Arrived at the house, the three panting women told a hysterical, broken Btory that sent Konnor, his two sons and all his men boarders on the run down the road. They found Mrs. Goldschmidt and Mrs. Harris not in the road where they had fallen, but on a sloping bank at the roadside. And up the road came something, somebody, fearsome, so spectral that the men felt nrru-taae0?h rfsp fl'nd chills run down gWWVUVWM ? their spines. Mr. Goidschmidt, who had armed himself at the first alarm, aimed his revolver at the apparition, but before he could pull the trigger Konnor yelled: "Don't shoot! It's Peter Cash!" So it was Peter Cash, clad only in a nightgown and carrying by the tall a seventy pound snapping turtle, which fought to free itself. This had happened: Cash, who supplies the Pine Brook summer boarding houses with fish, went turtling Saturday in the Passaic river, near by. Ete caught a prize, the monstrous snapper, and determined to get a good price for it in New York. So instead of decapitating it he took It home, put it in a wash UP THBMtOAD CAME SOMETHING FEARSOME, SPECTRAL. tub in his yard and placed boards weighted with stones over the tub. Several times the turtle vaiuly tried to escape during Sunday. At dusk Cash, who wished to make a very early start to New York Monday, I undressed and put on his nightgown. He took one last look from his window J to make sure the snapper was safe. He' was just In time to see the turtle with a mighty heave upset the tub, crawl from under it and start across the yard ' ' to the road at a surprising^ lttsi pave. | Instantly Cash dashed downstairs and outdoors, his nightgown fluttering in the breeze. He soon overtook the turtle, seized Its tail and was carrying it back ill triumph when he saw the five women before him. Shrieks rent the air, two women fell fainting, three ran. Cash dropped the turtle, carried Mrs. Goldschmidt and Mrs. Harris to the loping bank and vainly tried to revive them. The snapper, free, resumed its i Journey toward the Passaic. Seeing Konnor and his party running toward him, Cash recaptured the snapper. Crtnn/M- hrtncht the turtle and sens!

J., one of the women members admitted that she had raised her share of a congregational fund by sharing her husband and charging him 15 cents for each operation. She pledged the congregation not to reveal her name to the public. Asked to produce her husband at the meeting to attest to her skill with a razor, she naively conressea max u? was not particnlarly proud of his fa-1 dal appearance and was keeping in hiding as much as possible.
