Seats on the prohibition band wagon
will soon be at a premium. No
reserved seats, so come early. ^
In the recent dispensary election "
ill Charleston there were 305 votes p;
polled for prohibition. Really the ei
blind tigers could not have voted for fi
prohibition! n
Bamberg needs not to elect a pro- ^
hibition mayor and aldermen, for we ^
fhave them already. _Our mayor and
most all the aldermen in this city are t(
pv prohibitionists.
We do not see how a newspaper c<
which advocates prohibition can con- 11
sistently accept whiskey advertise- V!
ments, especially after the county in k
which it is published has voted out L
? the dispensary. e<
? A1
t Other towns paid 12 cents for the ^
first bale of new cotton. Bamberg paid f(
13% cents. You know Bamberg al- ai
ways pays the highest prices for cot- ti
ton, and that's the reason it is w
brought here from such long dis- n,
tanees. S1
According to the statement of
Ejifc Comptroller General A. W. Jones,
Bamberg county had on hand the a|
t- ; ' 30th day of June, 1909, $3,491.66 in f<
??"'?" cash in the treasurer's office and
$12 ,585.80 in banks, making a total si
of cash on hand of $16,077.46. With a!
v Bamberg county out of debt and this ^
much cash on hand, it is no doubt a 01
financial showing which can be ex- s
f0;/' ceeded by few counties in the State. 01
& . Let's keep out of debt, too. If t#xes **
have to be raised to make up for the *
lack of dispensary profits, do it, and cc
keep out of debt. 01
fee. The fund for erecting a monu- tl
ment to the women of the Confed- jc
p- eracy has been raised, the grand to- tt
\al contributed by public subscriptlon
being $11,000. The legislature tc
pappropriated $7,500 for the same w
purpose, so the fund available for ci
the purchase and erection of the
||- monument is $18,500. The credit
for raising this fund belongs to Capt.
':J- W. E. Gonzales, editor of the Colum- Pi
if-;. Via OUlie, wuu ^cisuuaii; auu
Sjp through the columns of his paper put
|f;- forth able efforts and by his work
made the monument a certainty. ni
- No doubt the appointment of Mr. fij
George Waterhouse, of Beaufort, a K
white man and a Democrat, as census in
supervisor for the second congres
^ sional district means that only com- n(
li ; . petent men will be appointed ascen- ri
sus enumerators. Character and ef- ol
flciency should be prerequisites for r
these appointments and politics y(
should not have any weight. But no sa
negro should be appointed as a cen- in
sus enumerator, for it might as well ^
j be understood right now that South- g(
era white people will not stand for c<
negroes going into their homes in an n<
official capacity. We trust, therefore, ^
tbat good judgment will be used in 0]
the appointment of enumerators, and w
possibly friction saved thereby. hi
Shot Brother-in-La\v. ^
Durham, N. C., August 23.?Mrs.
Bettie Parton last night shot and
dangerously wounded her brother-inlaw,
Henry Underwood, because the aj
i latter attacked her. Underwood, it z
is alleged, came home in an ugly 2
mood and began a furious attack up- j,
on some of the occupants of the b,
house. He used a chair as a weapon f(
in an assault upon his brother, struck ci
a neighbor a dangerous blow with a yc
rock and finally turned upon Mrs. tl
Parton, who recovered herself suffi- a
ciently to grab a revolver and fire a w
shot into Underwood's abdomen. Mrs. w
Parton was released on $100 bond. h

MEXICAN ROMANCE.
Reared Amid Riches, Girl Seeks Peasant
Mother.
A remarkable story of the restora:ion
of a beautiful young girl to her
mother after a separation of man}
.ears, comes from Matehuala, State
)t San Luis Potosi.
Sixteen years ago a young Amen
;an woman, who came to Matehua:a j
:o visit the family of an American [
nining man, was ardently wooed Lvi
well-educated Mexican named An:onio
Ugalde. During that time t.ie
- oung woman made the acquaintance
)f Mrs. Marta Gonzales, a poor Mexcan
working woman, who had a
Deautiful baby girl, a little more than
i year old. The American girl was
ievoted to this Mexican baby, and
vhen she and Ugalde were married =
;he bride obtained the consent of
Mrs. Gonzales to take the baby with
ler on a trip to the United States, (
promising to return the child in a I
:ew weeks. I
All this happened fifteen years ago. <
Mrs Gonzales never heard of her
;hild from that day until recently,
vhen a vision of loveliness darkened '
;he door of her humble home and an- I
lounced that she was the long-lost |
laughter of the poor Mexican wo- ,
nan. Mrs. Gonzales had mourned her
laugater its ucau 1UI luau) y cai o,
ind to have her suddenly reappear?
just blossoming into womanhood,
ashionably attired, with all the
jeauty of face of the high-caste Spansh
senorita and the pretty mannersms
of the American lady of educa;ion
and culture?was almost too
nuch for the poor Mexican mother,
ind it was some time before she
:ould be made to realize the true sitlation.
The young woman knows very lit,le
Spanish, and as her mother can
alk no English, it is necessary for
hem to carry on their conversation
hrough an interpreter.
It was an interesting story the
lew-found daughter told. She says
hat as far back as she can remem>er
she has lived in Chicago, and was
aught to believe that Ugalde and his
vife were her father and mother,
rhey treated her well and as she
jrew up she was given the best edu- :ational
and social advantages that
he means of her supppsed parents
vould allow. She was named Mary.
When 12 years old Mary was placed
n a convent, where she remained unil
a few weeks ago, when she reurned
to the home of the Ugaldes
n Chicago. She found that domestic
rouble had arisen, and that Ugalde
lad deserted his wife. It was then
hat Mrs. Ugalde told Mary the secret
>f her life. The young woman insist- ,
:d upon returning to her Mexican
nother in Matehuala, and her wish
vas gratified.
It is said that some of the Ameri;an
mining men in Matehuala have
nvestigated the girl's story and find
t to be true in every respect. She
las been placed In the young wo- |
nen's college at that place to learn
Spanish and receive the finishing
ouches to her education.?Philadel>hia

Bamberg, August 23.?Fire early
his morning destroyed a small wood;n
structure which has long been an
sye sore to the people of this comuunity.
The building was a survivir
of the days when the town was
Irst built. Mr. J. B. Brickie was a
leavy loser in the fire, he having had J
he place rented as a general repair j
hop for guns, automobiles and bi- i
ycles. His insurance was only $200, j
vhile his loss is between $800 and j
1,000. It is understood that the j
mall crrAforv cfnro numo/l hv T T-T I

?ott in the same building was coverd
by insurance. The building was 1
he property of G. A. Ducker, a well- =
o-do Greek of this community. Mr. j
)ucker will replace the old building j
rith a neat and modern two-story |
rick building. The Ott building,
djoining the Ducker store, was damiged
to a small extent, the doors and I
windows having been burned, and a j
hotograph gallery, with glass sides i
ind overhead was ruined. j
The little shop which was destroy- j
id has had a long and checkered caeer.
Within its walls have been c6n- .
lucted all kinds of trades; and durng
the time which it stood there it
s said that at least 10 men and boys
lave met death in it accidentally and
therwise. Some even place the num>er
as high as 13. In addition to
nese aeatns it nas Deen rne scene or
mmerous fights and quarrels. So,
aken all in all, the place was not one
vhich people felt proud of, and when
he new building is erected that part
>f Main street will have been consid;rably
improved.
A. W. Summers, Esq., of Orange>urg,
is out in a card in the newspa>ers
of that city in which he states
hat he will positively not offer for
he position of mayor of Orangeburg
it the approaching municipal elecion.
Mr. Summers says he believes
he officials of his city will do their
luty in enforcing the prohibition
aw, and that this is not the time for
my division among the people.

E. L. Smith, Bamberg, S. C., says: - ||
"I have only words of praisft for
Doan's Kidney Pills as I know well of
their merit. When I began using
them I was suffering severely from - :'f
kidney trouble, attacks of which had
bothered me for more than a year.
There was a constant, dull pain in
the small of my back and I was annoyed
by a frequent desire to void
the kidney secretions. I also noticed
that the secretions were unnatural
and attended with pain during pas
sage. When I learned of D#oan's Kidney
Pills, I went to the Peoples Drug
Co. and procured a supply. Since
using them my back has been free
from pain, my kidneys have been restored
to their natural condition and
the secretions have cleared up."
