I Good Words from Home Folk.
I
I Mr. M. W. 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.

Death of Aged Lady.
Mrs. Elizabeth Creech Morris, a highly
respected lady of the Clear Pond
section, died last Saturday and was
buried in Old Bethesda Church yard.
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.

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. Our farmers
and merchants stand in need of a
good crop.
