Mr. Brabham will manage both plants of the company, but the office force for the Denmark plant has not been selected. The Denmark mill has been a losing proposition ever since it was built, and some of the stockholders are in favor of shutting it down permanently. This will hardly be done, however, and it will no doubt be run the coming season anyway. But it will be put in firsti class condition. Country Correspondence.

Grant's army marching north encountered at Rivers' Bridge a remnant of the ?rave Confederacy. I11 the battle 8 of our men were killed, 44 wounded and 45 missing. It is supposed that the Federal army lost about 300 in this fight. The wpunded were taken and nursed in the homes near-by; eight died, making 16 dead who are sleeping at what is known , in these counties (Bamberg, Colleton, Hampton, and Barnwell; you need not travel more than one mile and you can be in either one of these counties) as the memorial grounds. Every year on these grounds on the 26th day of April or an appropriate day near that date, this year May 1st, these counties gather to do honor to the living and the dead of the Confederacy. Last Friday bore testimony to the fact that the days past are not forgotten. Both the invited speakers had the undivided attention of the vast audience, as the gallant deeds of the past and glorious opportunities of the present were set forth. After prayer by Rev. P. E. Monroe, the Hon. H. E. Gyles, of Aiken, was introduced by Senator Geo. H. Bates, of Barnwell, referring to Mr. Gyles as a Barnwell boy of whom his whole county is proud. Mr. Gyles is a rising young lawyer and is no less than an orator. His voice is clear and far-reaching, he could be easily heard by every one of the 800 seated under the large shed built for such occasions. His reasoning was logical.. He eulogized in the highest terms the Confederate dead, who died for the defense of "State's rights," nor did he forget the devoted, loving womanhood behind the men, behind the guns. He most beautifully set forth the characteristics of the Confederate soldiers nnH women No mere review can do his speech justice. It was well prepared, and when he had finished, he quit. (A very important requisite of a public speaker.) The Memorial association was fortunate in also having on the program the Hon. E. D. Smith. Every man who raises a bale of cotton, and millions who do not, know of Mr. Smith's loyalty to and confidence in the South. As a speaker, he was born an orator. He thinks well and speaks without effort. He briefly reviewed the work of the Confederacy and the reconstruction. He believes that there will be a North and a South as long as there is a 14th and 15th amendment to the constitution of the UnitedStates. He gave us his views on the tariff question and many other questions of national interest. No man who studies the condition of things to-day and heard his speech can be in doubt as to where Mr. Smith stands politically. He says that our great fight now is not with battle guns, but against anarchism, against 14 per cent. < illiteracy and 48 per cent, poverty. He pointed out the fact that the South is the only portion of our country with a large per cent, of real Anglo-Saxon blood. He 1 believes that the South must work out her own salvation with her own people, i He is confident of our ability to do it. He sees no need in bringing to this beautiful Southland the dissatisfied, disloyal people of Europe or Asia. After Mr. Smith's speech the graves of the Confederate dead were covered with flowers by the ladies of the community, some of whom nursed the wounded as they awaited the shannons from above 43 years ago. Then cadets of Carlisle Fitting School, who attended in a body, fired a salute. Then was a most bountiful dinner spread in the grove. A dinner in this community proclaims the fact that there are no financial panics here, but peace and plenty are still our guardian" angels. After 1000 or 1500 people had dined, they spent the afternoon socially. They love their country and they love one another. P. S. There was a band present which gave some music. There was the usual number of candy-dates present wishing to meet their old friends and serve the people. P. E. M. State Wins Fertilizer Suit. Laurens, April 30.?A suit of State-wide interest was decided in the court of common pleas here yesterday. It was an action brought by the State of South Carolina against the Coe-Mortimer company, of New York, with State headquarters in Charleston, for violation of the statute in reference to the sale and storage of fertilizers. The statute, as approved on February 23,1906, provides that all fertilizers, guano, etc., offered for sale in this State shall have on each sack or barrel a printed label stating amongst other things the chemical composition of the contents, and the minimum per cent of any of the following ingredients: Available phosporic acid, nitrogen and its equivalent, amonia and potash soluble in water; and on the other side of the bag or barrel shall be printed the grade?"high," "low" or ^standard." Failure to comply ?ai j j_ wim inese uenioiius suujccio wic dealer to a fine of $3 on each bag or barrel not having the required labels. The case here was about one hundred bags of Peruvian guano, sold by Mr. T. D. Darlington, representative of the Coe-Mortimer company, to E. A. Hamilton, of this county, and at present stored in the farmers' bonded ware house in this city. This fertilizer was sold by Mr. Darlington and is stored here ready for delivery, and the requirements of the law were not fulfilled. The State was represented by Messrs. R. E. Babb & H. Y. Simpson. After hearing the case Judge Gage ordered the jury to bring in a ver-t diet of $300 for the State. A number of prominent citizens from different sections of the county were in the city Monday to attend j the Democratic convention. 11 i < " COUNTRY NEWS LETTERS SOME INTERESTING HAPPENINGS IN VARIOUS SECTIONS. News Items Gathered AH Around the County and Elsewhere. Ehrhardt Etchings. Ehrhardt, May 4.?Some frost last week has made that portion of the crop that is up look tough and siciuy. Messrs. G. B. Kearse and Jacob Ehrhardt went to Augusta, Ga., last week on business. Candidates are commencing to come around and show their best disposition. Several hunted the writer up last week and let me feel their hand, passing some pleasant jokes, etc., but always wound up with asking a vote. One came in town last week canvassing the boys, but they say they could not support that man. When asked why, said that he had his hat on backwards and they thought he was entering the race backwards. Candidates, you had better look well as to how you wear your hats, as it might make some difference. The memorial at Rivers' bridge was a success this year; not so much rowdyism indulged in: The speeches | were good, dinner all that could be j exoected. and pleasant acquaintances | renewed, others made, and was an enjoyable day. Only two fights on the grounds that were heard of; these were not serious. Friday night the young folks had a dance in Dannelly's hall, which they indulged in until near three o'clock. Miss Elizabeth Roberts is at home with her parents for her rest, until school opens again. Our freight train comes tn at four o'clock p. m. and leaves at seven a. m. Messrs. HiersBros. have done some work toward rebuilding their store, and will soon have the lumber on the ground for the frame. Mr. Tom Pearlstine. of Allendale, is spending some time among his many friends at this place. He seems to be enjoying himself, judgingfrom appearances. 0 In a conversation with an inspector recently he informed me that all through the South that the department and the patrons of the various offices that he had visited showed more care in selecting accommodating, clever, and pleasant postmasters, more so than up North and West. This should be pleasant, especially to i- * iL ? fourtn class postmasters, ior it is about all they get for their labor in dispensing mails for the public. Miss Susie Durst, of Charleston, is spending some time with her relatives, Mrs. Dr. Copeland and Mr. J. J. Farrell. Mrs. Jno. F. Folk and daughter, Louise, spent some time with her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Philip Clayton, of Cameron, who have been spending time with his parents and relatives, returned to their home on Friday last. Mrs. G. L. Kinard and little daughter, Rubie, accompanied by Miss Alice Sease, of Bamberg, took in the memorial and spent a few days visiting relatives in and around town. Dr. J. H. Roberts was called to see the last of his father-in-law, Mr. Barber, of Rock Hill. He was buried on Saturday last. He was about seventy-six years old. Mr. Isaac W. Carter left for Bamberg this morning to meet the registration board. Mr. F. H. Copeland went to Bamberg this morning on business. I JEE. News from Kearse. Kearse, May 4.?Thirty-three years ago the 7th day of February last was the active beginning of the Rivers' Bridge memorial association. On that day several young men, one of middle age, one old man, and a sixteen-year-old boy met to collect the remains of the Confederate soldiers who now sleep in one grave, and j where each year old men, young men, little boys and girls, elderly ladies and young ones go to strew flowers over the dust of those gallant men who gave up their lives for the lost cause. The first meeting was held on the 26th of April thirty-three years ago, when a few met and sang a few songs and a few remarks were - ? i made and ail went nome to aine, taking friends with them. How interest grew from year to year is shown by the crowds who attend, and the attendance of representative men and their families from the surrounding counties show that interest is still alive and will continue. To the mind of an old man these things are full of long cherished memories. As I sit all alone watching the crowds pass by, and the happy, the young, and the blest pass by in pleasant converse, showing by each look and smile, I am enjoying the day, makes the heart of an old man thrill with joy if he does look sad and alone, but appearances do not count, for he alone can feel the keen pleasure that thrills his heart to see the full fruits of the beginning made thirty-three years ago. None of the names of those who first worked for and hoped for the success of the association now appear on the roll of managers and officers, but sit or stand in silent satisfaction watching the success that has crowned their labors, for they feel and know that they acted well their part; there to them all honors lie. For an account of the day, the speaking", the music and drill of the cadets, we leave for a greater pen to describe, but must say in honor of those who attended that it was a well behaved crowd, and the speaking was enjoyed by all who heard them, and I do hope all the bashful young men who were present will be able to hold their own. The cold wave made farmers and the little crops sick, but the birds are singing, the sun shines bright, Mrs. 0. T. is all smiles, for she says Old Timer is getting to be a very good boy, so all is peace and calmness - i 1 l 11 ana tne wona rons on iu a greater destiny. Mrs. L. S.

Hope for his speedy recovery. The young folks had a very enjoyable evening at the home of Mr. J. C. Breland on Friday evening. The Diver Pond Lying club met on Tuesday evening last. Capt. G. B. Kearse was called away on a business trip to Augusta, Ga.,;that day, but Meritt Kinard was there and he took the prize for the largest tale. We were pleased to have so many from Bamberg in our midst and in attendance of memorial day. Mr. Perry Kearse and wife paid us a visit on Sunday afternoon and MonHav.

Olar, May 4.?The program of the literary society for last Friday was suspended until next Friday on account of so many scholars being absent to attend the memorial at Rivers' bridge. J. F. Carter, Esq., of Bamberg, was in town last Wednesday. Quite a number of the Olar . folks attended the memorial at Rivers' bridge last Friday, and all reported the day as being pleasantly spent. Miss Kitty Hooton was absent from her classes to-day (Monday) to attend the funeral of her cousin, Miss Carrie Ray. . Miss Lilla Quattlebaum spent last Sunday in Bamberg with her brother, Mr. Paul Quattlebaum. Rev. R. H. Yongue preached a very interesting sermon at the Baptist church here Sunday night. Mr. Cecil Ray returned home from the Charleston Medical College last Friday morning, where he has been attending school for the past session.

Govan, May 5.?The angel of death visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. William Ray about three o'clock yesterday morning (Monday), and claimed the pure and unstained life of their eldest daughter, Carrie. She had been a great sufferer for several months, and although she will be greatly missed by her many friends and loved ones, we feel that death is a relief. She has been gradually growing weaker for several weeks, but her bright countenance and intelligent expressions made her approaching fatality hard to realize. She talked freely until a short time before life left her body, and did not hesitate to express that she felt prepared to meet her God. Miss Carrie was twenty-three years of age, and a consistent member of Salem M. E. Church, South, having joined when a child. Up to her recent illness, it was an unusual occurrence to see her pew vacant, and as she was a very active church worker, one can scarcely realize how ' ' 1 ' Ml I + mucn ner aosence win ue uuuccu at dear old Salem church. She has always been admired by all with whom she came in contact, and her many friends sympathize with her loved ones during this time of trouble. ;The interment will take place at eleven o'clock to-day {Tuesday) at Salem church cemetery. Funeral services will be conducted by Rev. Robt. A. Yongue. We pray God to comfort the bereaved ones, and may they rest assured that the pure and sweet soul of dear Carrie is now resting in the arms J T ' T tw/nrmAM A U*DT7/V1 OX iJtiSUSi liLlUtllUii n. uAiuuuu. Gored by a Steer. Gaffney, May 1.?Mr. W. A. McFarland, who is farming near Gaffney on the plantation of Mr. J. R. Tolleson, while preparing some land for planting yesterday, was very badly gored by a steer which he was plowing. The wound is on the side and is a very ugly one. The injured man though suffering much pain from his wound is doing reasonably well. It is stated that ex-president Grover Cleveland has cancer of the stomach, and that his case is considered incurable. WHITE MAN REFUSED BAIL GROVER C. WELSH, SLAYER OF j riOBLEY, STILL IN JAIL. Application Made Before Justices of Supreme Court.?Affidavit of the Defendant. Columbia, April 30.?Bail has again been refused a white man charged with murder. The application of Grover C. Welsh, who shot and killed Berry B. Mobley, was made to the Justices of the Supreme Court yesterday afternoon and the order refusing the motion was filed to-day. On the 24th of February, this year, on a train between Kershaw and Lancaster, Welsh shot and killed Berry B. Mobley, who had previously shot and killed Welsh's brother, Steve Welsh, and his cousin, Thomas L. Clyburn. Welsh claimed that the shooting was in self-defence and that Mobley had tried to kill him as he did his brother. fhe affidavit of the defendant, Grover C. Welsh, presented to the Court, states that with his uncle, W. U. Clyburn, he took the train at Kershaw, intending to spend the night in Lancaster and go next morning to Chester to consult Solicitor Henry about the prosecution of Berry B. Mobley for the killing of Steve Welsh and Clyburn; that after talking awhile with his uhcle and Senator T. Y. Williams he sat down in front of two ladies and conversed with them until after the train left Heath Springs. At that point he saw Berry B. Mobley and Zed Robertson board the train, but as he had seen Mobley several times since the killing of his brother, and did not think Mobley had any animosity towards him, he did not expect a difficulty. That having a bad headache he got up and started to go to the smoking compartment in the rear of the car, and saw Mobley walking down the car aisle in front of him. As Robertson reached for the door knob Welsh swears that Mobley threw himself between Robertson and the door, wheeled, levelled his pistol at the defendant and fired. Defendant struck at Mobley's pistol with his left hand, jerked him around and at the same time fired af MrtKlov'fl Hpnrf Mohlev UU CC UIUW UK UkVWlV^ ? was jerked around, says the defendant, and in this way the shots entered the back of his head. Deceased fell about the time of the third shot. Defendant declares that he thought his life was in danger, and when he shot believed and still believes he would have been killed by Mobley had he not fired. In addition to the affidavit of the defendant the principal testimony for the defence is given by .Son. .T. Y. Williams and by Mr. W. U. Clyburn, uncle of the defendant. Senator Williams in his affidavit states that he was returning from his official duties at Columbia on the evening of the 24th of February, the day the General Assembly adjourned. At Kershaw W. U. Clyburn and Grover C. Welsh took the train and deponent sat down to talk with them. w?leV> o-ffpr mnvprl his scat TT ^lOil QUVi VtJ MAVT-VW -- and began to converse with the two ladies mentioned. At Heath Springs several persons boarded the train, among them Zed Robertson, but deponent did not recognize Mobley. At Pleasant Hill he heard a shot and then three other shots fired. Saw Mobley and Welsh in a difficulty. Welsh caught hold of Mobley and jerked Mobley so as to throw the back of Mobley's head toward the defendant, and fired three times. Heard Welsh say: "You killed my brother for ndthing and now you have tried to kill me." Welsh, with his uncle and deponent, went to Lancaster and Welsh surrendered to the sheriff. Turned his pistol over to deponent; one empty chamber, one loaded chamber and three discharged shells were found in it. Later deponent made examination of the car and found bullet mark in the roof, where it is claimed the bullet from Mobley's pistol took effect. W_ U. Clvburn corroborates the affidavit of "Mr. Williams and also that of Welsh. An affidavit from Dr. J. A. Rutledge states that Mobley had three bullet wounds in the back of his head, and also a wound on the hand. Zed Robertston, who was Mobley's companion, in his affidavit states that when Mobley saw that Welsh was on the train he insisted on getting off at Pleasant Hill. That he and Mobley were going out of the car, towards the rear door, when deponent received a push or shove from the rear ??>/< tttqo rmcHoH Hnwn hetween the CUiU new j/uutivvi ? ? ? ? seats. Mobley was leaving the train to avoid any possible attack from Welsh. E. W. Hammond, another passenger on the train, gave an affidavit in which he states that he saw Welsh in the aisle of the car with a pistol in his hand, and that Welsh put the pistol to the back qf Mobley's head and shot. That Welsh took Mobley's head in his hands and fired the last shot into his head. Similar affidavits to that of Hammond are made by L. E. Cauthen and T. T. Truesdale, the last named saying that he saw Welsh with pistol in hand and that Welsh shoved Robertson down betw^n the seats. The affidavits of the two ladies are along the same line, but their I / * -YV . MEMORIAL DAY. ??? Fitting Occasion at Rivers' Bridge Last Friday. % Mr. M. W. Brabham writes as follows in The State of the annual memorial exercises at Rivers' bridge last Friday: , M Bamberg, May 2.?Yesterday was Memorial day and Bamberg folks were at Rivers' bridge in large numbers to celebrate with Dr. N. F. Kirkland and the others of the Memorial association the patriotic occasion. Fully 1,500 people were on the large picnic grounds, and the day *was . ' ^ primarily a patriotic one, but was also a great social and political one. Candidates were there from all over the four neighboring counties, and they varied from candidates for the United States senate to candidates for coroner. And /the young ladies ; ^ were there with their bright spring hats and dresses. And of course all of the old veterans who could attend were there and helped celebrate the occasion. Flowers were strewn in * profusion upon the graves, and about - } the foot of the monunfent erected to the Confederate dead. The cadets of ?5 the Carlisle Fitting school, under Capt. P. S. Connor, fired a salute in honor of the dead, and then gave a vf| splendid exhibition drill. Hon. E. D. Smith was the invited orator of the day, and his address was : | conceded by all to be the best ever 1 1 1 .1 * neara unaer tne auspices 01 tne asso- m ciation. He did not mention politics, 0 but his theme being very general his W speech was appreciated by every one of his hearers. Mr. Herbert E. Gyles ??3 of Aiken also delivered an address. Music was furnished for the oC- 1 casion by the Artillery band of Charleston. The great dining tables were , ; richly spread with the bounties of ^ four counties, and none of the l,500i were permitted to go away hungry. Aside from the general tables small picnic parties grouped themselves to one side, and had a quiet homelike day of it. All in all the day was well, spent, and no boisterousness marred the pleasantness of the occasion. Dr.? N. F. Kirkland, the aged president of the Rivers^ Bridge association, de- : serves the thanks of the attendants /->5 J for the happy arrangement of all ' matters. Danger in Dogs. \ /||1 Last week we received the follow-? ing letter from a gentleman who is ] intendant of a town in the low cotmtry. We publish it in order that our city council may see what other towns I are doing in reference to dogs run- V ning at large onthe streets: ''Dear Sir: I note with pleasure that you are advocating the city council to pass an ordinance taxing dogs and requiring them to "be kept off the streets. ? "I note also that quite a number of towns and cities are now taking this v 1 "g matter up.

"Two years ago we passed an ordinance taxing all dogs one dollar, ? also an ordinance requiring all dogs running at large within the town limits to be muzzled.
