We require the name and address of the writer in every case. No article which is defamatory or offensively personal can find place in our columns at any price, and we are not responsible for the opinions expressed in any communication. Thursday, Sept. 10, 1908 ???? The primaries are over. We have much to be thankful for. South Carolina has witnessed some mighty dirty politics in the last two weeks. There is a full corps of cotton buyers on the Bamberg market, and farmers can always be assured of obtaining the very highest prices. Sell your cotton in Bamberg and see if-what we tell you is true. The price of cotton makes the need nf ft warehouse in Bamberg impera ? - tive. It would be a great thing for * -our farmers if, instead of selling their cotton at present prices, they could put it in a warehouse and borrow money on it to meet their obligations. We hope to see a warehouse here before the opening of another season. ? Numbers of our friends have complimented us very highly on the extra edition of last week. We thank them for their kind words and will ?.. .. appreciate more patronage so that we may publish a newspaper which / will be of benefit to the town and county and not a detriment. A poor newspaper gives people at a distance a poor opinion of the town. So help us to advertise Bamberg in the right way. Every little bit helps and. one dollar spent with The Herald helps that much and will be'welcome. ft ^ " Cadets Can Go Back. Anderson, Sept. 2.?Col. Johnsstone, chairman of the board of trustees of Clemson College wTas in Anderson to-day en route to his home In Newberry from Clemson where he has been attending a meeting of the trustees. He said that 1,005 appli cations for admission naa oeen received at the college and that the atk tendance with the new cadets is 2,; 188. About twenty-five of the three hundred cadets discharged for the April fool prank have applied to the discipline committee ior readmission and twenty-two of the three hundred applications have received favorable action. The conduct of the cadets before dismissal is guiding the discipline committee in determining the disposal of the applications. The cadets to be readmitted will be required to stand examinations for advancement with their former classmates and they will also be required to sign a contract declaring that they will abide and be governed by the rules and regulations of the college. It is possible that the day of opening college will be postponed one week on account of the condition of the railroad after the flood. The trustees decided to leave the matter to President Mell and the faculty "who will make announcement through the press shortly, if a postv ponement is determined upon. DIED OF LOCKJAW. ^?"* w* a A. _ \T T : nu.. Bau rnu 10 a 1 uung unr m mr v.uj of Greenville. Greenville, August 31.?James, the eleven-year-old son of Policeman * J. A. May field, of this city, died today from lockjaw, after ten days of intense suffering. The little fellow's right leg was badly crushed by the wheel of a heavy iron wagon passing over it ten days ago. His leg was amputated a week ago, and it was hoped that this would save his life, but lockjaw developed. Danced Himseli to Death. Pittsburg, Sept. 3.?"Danced himself to death" will probably be the verdict of the coroner's jury in the case of Albert Hulton, aged twentyfive, a mulatto who was found dead in his bed yesterday. Hulton was attracted to the street by the tune of a hurdy-gurdy, and throwing the operator a quarter of a dollar, told him to repeat the tune as often as the coin would pay for it. Then Hulton began dancing, exe cuting two-steps, waltz, jig, and buck and wing steps as the movement changed. A crowd gathered and when the music for the first coin paid for ceased, another one was passed up and the dancing continued until the police interfered. Hulton retired to his room and a doctor was called,when he was found He said death was due to heart disease, due to over exertion. W. C. T. I). CONVENTION.

Spartanburg, Sept. 2.?John Robinson's circus was tied up here today by representatives of the bureau of animal husbandry of the department of agriculture, and required to thoroughly disinfect its cars, stock, and animals with the view of destroying Texas fever ticks with which the circus might be infected. The process of spraying and washing prescribed by the government's agentfe was followed and it was late to-night before the work was done. The first intimation the circus people had that they were in for the general cleaning was advice from Mr. Otts, local agent of the Southern railway, that his road had been served with notice from government authorities not to move the Robinson circus from Spartanburg to Hendersonville, N. C., until authorized to do so. The action was taken to prevent a violation of the cattle quarantine regulations torbidding stock from a tick infested district to be shipped into a clean territory. Just now the government is making an effort to rid Spartanburg county of fever ticks and this accounts for the presence of the government's representatives here. Killed in Pullman. Huntington, W. Va., Sept. 4.?Dr. A. H. Sayers. a prominent physician of Bluefield, was shot and killed yesterday bv Wesley Wilkes, an insurance man of the same city. The shooting occurred in a Pullman car of a Norfolk and Western train, just as it was pulling into Eckman. Two shots were fired, both bullets penetrating the left side. Dr. Sayers and Wilkes had been enemies, as a result of the latter filing charges against the other, ending in the physician being expelled from the Elks. The men met on the train and Dr. Sayers struck Wilkes, felling him. Wilkes, while down, drew his revolver and killed his antagonist.
