The general assembly was, not in session last Saturday, and our senator and representatives spent from Saturday to Monday at home. Thb members of the Bamberg Guards are requested to meet at the armory on Tuursday evening at 8 ' o'clock. J. F. Folk, Captain. See the new ad. of A. M.

' hoped the company will pass inspection this time, so that a military or:ganization can be maintained in Bamberg. Remember Chat we will cut off our list on April 1st all subscribers who have not paid in advance. There are only a few, however, but we will run the cash-in-advance system strictly |i;> and discontinue papers promptly at expiration of time paid for. f&ii Messrs. Clarence and- F.

Rhoad. gf; An advertiser in town told us a few - dam oorn that hp had received orders from several towns in this section, jfe - and the strange part of it was-all his ? customers said they saw his ad. in ggg The Bamberg Herald. He seemed jp5> surprised that our circulation extendift ed over so much territory. El No doubt there will be something doing in the way of constructing the ^ Bamberg, Ehrhardt & Walterboro Railroad after Mr. Garris gets the V new charter. Bamberg needs this ft railroad, and we trust earnest efforts will be made to build it as soon as H'J the charter is in proper shape. U' You are due yourself and family while money is so scarce to make RY- every dollar spent count. I only do | a cash business. See me before buying. W. D. Rhoad. Monday the Master sold thirtyte? seven acres of/land in the case of g Maria Singleton vs. Mamie Dowling. ?.? It was bid in by the parties in interest for $220.00. The several tracts H % advertised ki the case of Kearse vs. Henderson^vere not sold, as the matlife ter was settled before the day of ||y; sale. !?V. ' Bro. A. J. Foster is now the happy pastor of the Allendale Baptist church. He was pastor of the Bamberg church for several years where ^he was very highly esteemed and ?y. where he did excellent work. He has gone to a good field at Allendale, and we shall expect to hear good reports from him and the church.?Baptist Courier. gfr V. There was a good crowd in town last Monday, and our streets presentC " ed a lively appearance. A stranger in town asked us what was the matp ter so many people were inv town. He didn't know Bamberg was such a .v, live business place. Many people are surprised at the amount of business done here after seeing the appearance of the business houses on Main ^ street. Very little interest is being taken in county politics so far. We hear of very few candidates for county offices, but of course it is presumed all the incumbents will stand for reelection. It is likely that E. C. Bruce will make the race for sheriff. Mr. ^ Bruce was county supervisor for two terms and made a splendid record in that oflice, and should he enter the contest for sheriff he will be a strong candidate. A*-1'- 1 f i 1 Birt oats at W. D.

Many rheumatic attacks are due to uric acid in the Blood. But the duty of the Wirtnevs is to remove all uric acid from the blood. Its presence there shows the kidneys are inactive. Don't dally with "uric acid solvents." You might go on till doomsday with them, but until you cure the kidneys you will never get well. Doan's Kidney Pills not only remove uric acid, but cure the kidneys and then all danger from uric acid is ended. Rupert B. Calvo, bookbinder, employed at The State Publishing Co., official f)rinters for the State of South Carolina, iving at 1010 Lumber St., Columbia, S. C., says: ' 'I thought I had rheumatism and treated for it on that belief. I used all kinds of liniments. The pain was in my back and in my hips clear to the shoulders. The liniments did no good and I took to blood medicines but they did not help me. I took a long trip in hopes that the change of climate might help me. I was away for three months but could see no change for the better. I heard of Doan's Sidney Pills and determine4 to try them, and got a box at a drug store. They completely removed the pains out of my back and I have not felt a touch of the old trouble since I used them." For sale by all dealers. Price 50c.

Winthrop and Citadel to Get New Dormitories?No Raise in the ^ State Tax Levy. Columbia, February 1.?The appropriation bill has been completed and will be presented to the house probably Tuesday, when it will be given .its first reading by title, and then printed. The second reading will be given whenever Chairfnan Banks, of the ways and means committee, deems it desirable to take up the matter. The appropriations last year amount^ iaoo ^ 1 afld rvt* Cli IU CL 11 tliC 1 COO tiian yijVUVjVWj vx to be exact, $1,432,374.39. As the appropriation bill now stands, the sum carried therein is $1,435,222.77, and it is likely to be larger than this by more than one hundred thousand. The sum named, $1,435,222.77, does not include the contemplated appropriation of $21,000Tor a dormitory at Winthrop, nor does it include anything for carrying on the work of the State House grounds improvement, nor the appropriation asked for by the University of South Carolina, $30,000, for a new class room building. It does include the $30,000 asked for by '"he Citadel academy for improving the old police station. But it does not include anything at all for the reformatory at Florence. The State house grounds commis sion will asR tor an appropriation 01 $25,000 to complete the improvement of the grounds, which with the $24,000 for Winthrop and $30,000 for the University, and $15,000 for the reformatory will make an additional $94,000, or to speak in round numbers, an additional $100,000, raising the total appropriations to over one million and a half dollars. That means a levy of five mills. The appropriation bill as it now stands means a levy of four and three-quarter mills* as against four and one-half this last year. However, five mills is not so terrible; in fact, it is now generally recognized that a serious mistake was made in reducing the levy from five mills last year, as if it had been left at that figure the State would not have had to borrow so much money and would have been on a cash basis. It will be noticed that there is no disposition whatever to take up Governor Ansel's suggestion for an extra two-mill levy to pjit the State on a cash basis, as it is"*generally recognized that this entirely unnecessary.

X' l/IVX XIUUU| X VWA v. _ Nivens has been bound over to a preliminary before Magistrate Beckham at Rock Hill, under $300 bond, on the charge of loiowingly disposing of stolen property. It seems that a valuable horse was stolen from Mr. J. H. Wilson in Columbia about 10 days ago, and in a few days Nivens bought the horse from a strange white man. It is alleged that Nivens, being warned by friends that the horse had been stolep and that officers were searching for it, took the horse across the Catawba at night and disposed of it. At any rate, when the officers reached Nivens' store, in the upper part of the township, he refused to tell where the horse was or to give any information about it, although it is said the owner offered to give him back the cost of the horse. The officers crossed the river and succeeded in finding the horse about 10 miles from Nivens'store. They secured the horse and, returning to 5 IT!

Citizens of North Augusta made certain charges the other day against Representative Croft, of Aiken, one allegation beingthat thatmember of the house is in the employ of liquor interests. Yesterday Mr. Croft made positive denial of the charges. So there that matter rests. ,But is there no other legislator whose interests as attorney in some case connected with the dispensary, conflict with proposed legislation regarding the dispensary? The"State has often said that one of its chief grounds for complaint against the dispensary is that its influence numbs the public conscience. And that is true. Ethical obligations are lost sight of; those that adhere to formal law, after touching the great moral institution, think they are doing pretty well. Suppose that a measure should be introduced in the general assembly that would directly affect certain dis pensary people or dispensary mici.ests, and that those interests had as attorneys members of the general assembly; and, suppose when such measure came ^p for consideration in committee or on the floor, that the attorneys whose clients would be affected, should refrain from taking part in the discussion and should ask to be excused from voting, stating that the bill materially affected cases in which they were employed. That would seem to be the most natural thing in the world; in times past it has been done; we trust it will be done in the future. But with the dispensary it is different. We find that work, active, insistent, persistent work, is done by the legislative attorneys for persons and concerns directly interested in the proposed - legisietuuu. , Is it wrong?
