Styr 2tatitb)>rg ^pralb ? ? THURSDAY, MAY 14,1908. ? . I ^?- i Strange to say we have not noticed ' that any of the county conventions passed resolutions as to reducing thej cotton acreage. We wonder how they overlooked it. If South Carolina adopts prohibition, the legislature should incorporate in the act a provision forbidding . newspapers in the State to accept liquor advertisements. Mad dogs are mentioned in nearly , every paper we pick up. We trust city council will pass an ordinance requiring dogs to be kept off the streets of Bamberg. Action should be taken ' now. It will be too late when some person has been bitten by a mad dog. \ The Democratic convention of Dorchester county passed a resolution eliminating magistrates from the f * ;* primary. We do not know whether ? the convention had the right to do this or not, but we do know that it was the Droper thing to do. We trust that the magistrates of Bamberg fe connty will hereafter he appointed. r ; * p: Senator Tillman is in Washington this week, but he is taking no part in the proceedings of congress. ! He will soon leave for his European trip. Here's hoping he will come back a well man. At one time we 1 tbelieved it would be better for the country if he was retired from pub|| Kc life. Now we believe his retireI*: ment would be a public calamity. We hope he will live to serve South kM- Carolina in the Senate for many years. ^ The recent county Democratic con ventions "resoluted" about almost ; everything imaginable. One of the |p most foolish things we have noticed S?| was the passing of resolutions in- 1 structing the faculty of Clemson Col: lege in regard to the recent whole?$? sale exi>ulsion of cadets. It is pre j|| siimed that the men composing the fp-..- faculty have sense enough to manage the college without instructions from %. county conventions. No doubt the 4 daddies of dismissed boys had some|fe" thing to do with the resolutions. x Negro Gets Ten Years. - Several months ago a negro attempted to assault the little daugh$'< ter of Mr. J. M. Bessinger, while she Ik ' with other children were going to school. Mr. Bessinger formerly liv|? _ ed near Bamberg, but moved to .Augusta the first of this year. The at?> tempted crime happened near Augusta. The negro was tried in Au/ gusta last week and sentenced to gf; serve ten years in the penitentiary. A Big Salt. Mr. Clarence L. Brown, formerly of Barnwell, but now with the Charlotte Observer, was in the city Tuesday in company with Mr. Cocke, a lawyer. They were getting'testimony to be used in the case of C. M. BillSi ings against the Charlotte Observer. Our readers will remember the scandal in Blackville some months ago, when Rev. Billings was dismissed as pastor on account of his alleged relations with a negro servant in his * ' family. The Observer published an - account of the affair, and Mr. Billf 1 ihgs, who is now living in North < / Carolina, brought suit against the paper for $30,000 damages. The case is to be tried next month. We understand that Mr. Billings has recently been making efforts to get reg instated in the church. Silver iledai Contest. Hie Loyal Temperance Legion will give a silver medal contest in the chapel of the Carlisle Fitting School next Monday evening, at 8:30 o'clock. The program will consist of readings, choruses, solos, both instrumental and vocal. Admission anil hp fifteen cents for srrown ups and ten cents for children. Let everybody go. A nice program has been arranged. ^ Pastor Called. Rev. A. J. Foster, of Allendale, has been called to the pastorate of the Winnsboro Baptist church, and will , enter upon his work here as pastor next Sunday. He will preach at the Winnsboro church in the morning at 11 o'clock and again that afternoon at Lebanon school house at 4 o'clock. Mr. Foster and his family will move into Winnsboro this week. While he has never preached in Winnsboro he comes very highly endorsed as a young man of great promise in the ministry. He will be warmly welcomed.?Winnsboro News and Herald. True Bill Found. Greenville, May 6.?The grand Jn w+n.^ovrofnrnpd atmehill acainst jmj , 0 H. P. Dill, former chain gang overseer, who is charged with whipping a convict. A great deal of interest centres around this case, as local attorneys claim that if Dill is convicted it will mdan the abolition of the whipping post at the penitentiary. Dill admits whipping the prisoner, but claims it was necessary, as the latter was insolent - . \ V ' > . \ EBRHARDT SCHOOLCOLUMN PERSONALS AND NEWS FROM A , GOOD OLD TOWN.

Letter to H. W. Beard, Bamberg, S. C.
