Brabham has Our very sincere thanks for the following, which he wrote concerning The Bamberg Herald and its editor in the Columbia State: j "For enterprise and general get up, The Bamberg Herald, published by Mr. A. W. Knight, is perhaps one of the very best weekly papers in South Carolina. Recently Mr. Knight has completed a handsome office building, the lower floor of which he is occupying and the upper floor of which is divided in suites of rooms. Mr. Knight's office is in rear of the book store and it is a model for neatness and order. The job presses are each run by individual motors, | and the large press is operated by a gasoline engine. A well equipped | office in every respect, it is fitted for first class work, as a linotype machine has recently been installed. The county backing Mr. Knight is small, but the people will stick to him and help* in every way so as to | enable him to continue the first-class i business which he is doing here. The press throughout the State is very complimentary To The Herald and its very live editor." Superintendent Sheridan Resigns. Sunday afternoon Prof. H. G. Sheridan, who has been superintendent of the Methodist Sunday-school for the past six years, announced that he ! would not answer present to his name in official capacity in the Sundayschool here again, as his field of labor had called him elsewhere. He jtold in a few words the deep appreciation which he felt for the efforts of the other officers and teachers in I the school, and he prayed God's richest blessings on the school, and every officer and teacher. Prof. Sheridan has been a very faithful officer and during his six years has given much of his time and attention to the betterment of the school. When he had concluded his remarks Rev. T. G. Herbert, in a few well chosen words, spoke in behalf of the school, telling Mr. Sheridan ho^v much his labor had been appreciated and how much he regretted to see him leave. Repre /ilnoooo Af thA ar>hr?ol then T C V1CWMJVU VJL vuv -? marched down the aisle and bade Mr. Sheridan God-speed and wished him success in his new field. The officers and teachers also went forward and gave him a warm clasp of the hand. The successor to Mr. Sheridan has not yet been appointed, but he wnl doubtless be appointed in time to take charge of the school next Sunday. Who ever he may be, it will be a place which will require the heartiest co-operation of the parents and members of the church, and it is de^sired that as many of the older members of the congregation as possible be present* on next Sunday and be prepared to give the new superintendent, whoever he may be, a good send off and show by their presence that they are interested in the school. To the Voters. Editor Herald.?I to-day send you my announcement as a candidate for the House of Representatives which you will please publish. I desire to say to the voters of Bamberg county that I enter the race on my merits and that I am not a candidate for any faction. W T. PTT/RV Musical Concert.

Mrs. Morris was in her eighty fifth year and had been in ill health for three weeks or more. Mrs. Morris was the daughter of Capt. W. H. Creech, who served as captain in the War of Independence and fought under Francis Marion. In 1841 Miss Creech was married to Mr. J. R. Morris on May 16, and to this union were born nine children, of whom only three survive her, these being Messrs. W. H. Morris, J. M. Morris and J. R. Morris. For half a century Mrs. Morris served as a consistent member of the Baptist church. -I THE CANDIDATES. The genial and smiling candidates were with us last Saturday. We were indeed glad to have them. It makes | us people down hefe glad to have a campaign year come around, for we get to see so many people from | the up-country and they are so glad to be down here and to see us face to face. (Most all the candidates from the up-country you know.) We never get to see them at other times, for up-country people are ter- | ?;KH, nf malaria PYfPnt when 1 iuij auaiu VI .v. w.wwr? running for office. But let an election year come around, and the | clever fellows from Greenville and Abbeville and Newberry and Richland and Spartanburg, and in fact | all the piedmont mighty near, swoop down upon us and make us feel sorry for them. They are so much pleased | with the town and its people that we know they are dissatisfied where they live and want to move down | here. And so we are sorry for them, and being sorry we give them our votes (some of them) and some of | them move, but only as far down as Columbia, and some stay at home and are more dissatisfied, and - two | years later they come again, and again, and again. The governors opened up first. Governor Ansel is popular here with a large number of people, but of | course his dispensary idea does not take with some. Frankly, we would advise him to modify his platform | in regard to dispensaries in county seat towns only. We don't care, but towns like Denmark, Allendale, | Blackville, and others will want dispensaries if the county seats are to have them, and it will cost him votes. | In plain English they want the revenue from the sale of liquor, and many | church members, even official mem- l bers,will vote against him on this account solely. Strangq how some peo- 1 pie vote anyway, aint it? Mr. Blease has a good delivery, and his voice rang through the court room as he deplored the extravagance of the legislature, but he offered no remedy. He seemed op- 1 posed to many appropriations voted for by the representatives of this /?rknntv hut he naid -a hieh tribute ' to Senator J. B. Black, who he said had voted with him against many appropriations. Dr. Blease said the 1 State was mighty sick?was going to the demnition bow wows mighty fast, but he did not prescribe for her relief. Pity he is such a demagogue, for he appears to be a man of brains and courage. The crowd running for State Superintendent of Education would reflect credit on any office. They are all strong, brainy men, who made good speeches and were well received. Mr. Mellichamp is a most delightful gentleman of the old school, and made an eloquent speech. He is well known and popular here and will no doubt receive a good vote, being from our neighbor county across the Edisto, Orangeburg. Mr. Elmore made a most favorable impression, and his ideas on school matters were well received. He is a good speaker. But the man tnat maae me most, votes here was the blind man, Mr. Swearingen. He ip a nephew of Ben Tillman and looks and talks like his distinguished uncle. He no. doubt made the most thoughtful speech of the day, but his delivery is poor, possibly from the lack of experience in public speaking. But he will no doubt improve in this respect as the campaign progresses. He is we suppose the brainest man in the campaign party. Notwithstanding his blindness, he graduated with high honors at the South Carolina College. For years he has been professor in the State institution for the deaf, dumb, and blind at Cedar Springs. The railroad commissioner's race is likely to get hot pretty soon. The other candidates seem to tak^ special delight in stinging. Caughman, and his hide seems to be tender. Of course he will r.ot be re-elected? . * * ?- * V.J? Trrv_ I, OUl IDais no muiL ut mo. muc ?v- , ters will not stand for ^be idea of ) giving a man twelve years in one office. But Mr. Caughman is a shrewd politician, and gave a good account of himself in the ten minutes allotted. Summersett, Fishburne and Richardson were also well received and the crowd simply roared when Fishburne got off his jackass joke on Holland Kennedy. j j Serving Their Sentences. ; Isaiah Bartley and Elliot Jones, j two negroes, were carried to the chain gang last week by Deputy Sheriff C. 1 C. Rowell. Bartley was found guilty of manslaughter for complicity in the murder of young WilMe Cutter, a white man, at Midway about two j years or more ago, and sentenced to serve four years on the chain gang. Elliot Jones was found guilty of hog stealing, he having stolen some pigs from Mr. D. J. Delk. He was given a sentence of thirteen months on the gang. Both cases have been appealed to the State Supreme Court and both men were out on bond. Bartley's case was heard by the Court several weeks ago and the verdict above sustained, but the appeal of Jones had never been heard, and was dismissed because of lack of prosecution. Last week Clerk, of Court Free and DeDuty Rowell got busy, and when Bartley was notified to come in and give a new bond, he came promptly and was arrested. It was believed that he intended to skip out, therefore a subterfuge was worked. Jones has been running a negro barber shop in town for some time, and when Deputy Rowell went to arrest hime he found him shaving a negro preacher. But he was carried off without ceremony, leaving his customer half shaved. Crops Look Good. I The general report is that crops A ? ~ ~ ~ ^ j throughout the county are uuc, aiiu | | the prospect for a full yield this season is the best we have had in a number of years. Certainly crops are as promising now as they have been at this season in the past ten years, and we are surely glad to see them looking so well.
