The campaign meeting at Denmark is to be held next Wednesday. City council held a regular monthly meeting Tuesday evening, but only routine business was transacted. An examination for a vacant scholarship in the Citadel will be held at the court house to-morrow (Friday,) the 9th. See the advertisement of the ~ ?

It has been announced that all the applicants for the scholarship in Clemson college from 4;his county failed on the examination. It is likely that another examination will be held. The indications are that the county campaign would get somewhat interesting if there were several more campaign meetings. Only two more meetings are to be held, one at Denmark and the last at Bamberg. Good roads seems to be a popular slogan with the candidates in Bamberg county. Well, good roads are certainly needed. Representative Hunter advanced a good idea at the campaign meeting at Farrell's X Roads, when he said all roads should be wide enough for two tracks. There is not a road in the county which is wide enough. Cradle Roll Reception. > Often times the older set, the young people, and even the children entertain socially. But never has anything so unique been given, as the reception last Thursday afternoon by Mrs. W. D. Rhoad at her beautiful home in compliment to the cradle roll and mothers, of Trinity Methodist Sunday-school. The mothers were met at the door - by their charming hostess, from whence they were conducted to one corner of the hall where Mrs. Beach, in her sweet, affable way, served delicate fruit punch. The lawn had J been made very attractive and home like for the little ones, with table,, small chairs, and rustic seats. Dolls! of all kind were placed here and there by little Miss Lena, daughter! of the hostess. Although nothing - \ more than a baby herself, the sweet hospitality of the mother was reflect-, ed in the child, as she met each little one with a beaming smile, offerine her dolls and chairs for their comfort and amusement. Two grandmothers had been assigned the pleasure of looking after the babies; right well did they perform their duty, as the afternoon passed most happily. Three old boys in passing were attracted to the scene, and came in for their share of the refreshments. One great big boy said, he was from that time forth a full fledged member of > the cradle roll. The older ones were served with delicious peach and strawberry ice cream, fruit and pound cake, while the little ones enjoyed ices, wafers and various kinds of crackers. The time passed only too quickly for the mothers, giving their experiences, comparing their little ones, and so forth. On one subject they all agreed, and that was they had spent a most delightful afternoon. Mrs. Rhoad has been superintendent of this department of Sunday-school work only a short while, but her interest and zeal is shown by the in creased number on the cradle roll. What Is It? In answering this question the Sunday-school specialist would say: "The cradle roll is that department of the elementary division of the Sunday-school which includes, or should include, all the little children of the community from the time they are named until as pupils they enter the beginners' department, at or about three years of age." It is neither the fad of some enthusiast nor a meaningless roll of names to hang on the walls of the Sunday-school room, but a real helpful department of every up-to-date Sunday-school. Bestowal of Crosses of Honor. Since there were so many Confederate veterans and descendants of -r\ r. rH rl nflt OTltpr thplT VClCiauo, UAU UVV V4A%V* applications for crosses of honor in time for the last bestowal, Mrs. C. E. Graham, State President U. D. C., has arranged for another and final date of bestowal. The day set apart for this will be Friday, Dec. 20th, 1912. All applications must be handed in before October 1st.

Campaign Meeting at r arreu s u<j i mi The third campaign meeting for ci, this county was held at Farrell's X Roads Wednesday of last week, the be speaking taking place in a grove th right at the cross roads. Mr. J. J. ba England presided over the meeting ia{ and introduced the speakers. The speaking begun at eleven o'clock and on ended a little after two o'clock. There ed was not a large crowd present, and inj everything passed off quietly bu The meeting was enlived some- e(j what by the speeches of the candi- te< dates, several of whom told funny stories and amused the crowd. There gn was an awakenig of interest in the co race for the house of representatives ag and senate. Mr. Miley alluded to the tb< act passed providing for the election of cotton weighers by the people, and stated that the clubs in that section 3 could not have voted for cotton XJf weigher under the law, but he had offered the resolution in the county convention giving them this privilege. He was interrupted by Mr. Hunter, who stated that he had been to misinformed in regard to the act, t0 and Mr. Miley replied that he had Clt not. There seemed to be something In of a disposition on the part of the **a legislative candidates to do some thl sparring all along the line. ve Dr. J. B. Black discussed the Gar- to ris act, and Col. Jno. F. Folk criti- sei cised his vote on the measure, stating c^: that this act brought to the schools SP of the county $642.90, while there in* went out of the county $1,315.75. Dr. Black interrupted and asked Col. &? Folk what were the figures for the La State, and Col. Folk replied that C01 made no difference, that he was rep- re( resenting Bamberg county and should have looked out for the interests of Jo: the county. Col. Folk dwelt on this Sp act, saying he did not propose for any one to deceive or mislead the toi voters because of their own ignor- Sp ance, and that his opponent had been Sti Senator for eight years and taxes W( getting higher all the time, and that C0] it seemed to him the graceful thing th< to do would be to retire from the race, but that he believed the voters of would retire his opponent on the the 27th of August. No personalities en were indulged in, and the only criti- sit ci&m of candidates was of their rec- ku ord in office. The next meeting is to be held at Denmark next Wednesday. A few persons called for expressions as to how candidates would vote S0I for governor, but the matter was not alluded to by any of the speakers. n0 After the meeting a number of s0] candidates and others were guests! of bai Col. Folk, at a delightful fish fry on of the Edisto river, at Hamilton's Lake. qj( ~ of Baptist Church News. ar< Prayer meeting at the Baptist church Thursday evening at 8 o'clock.

Yorkville, Aug. 5.?The repoi nt out cn Saturday night as to th mage inflicted by the tornado an il storm that visited the Clover sec >n that afternoon, was true as fa it went. Owing, however, to th ability to get a comprehensiv itement of conditions over the tele ione an inadequate conception c lat is really the greatest disaste at has ever visited this section wa nveyed. The hail storm that oc rred at the same time as the tornz ? covered an area of about fou iles wide, and eight long, which ir ided a number of the best farm ,*ned and operated by some of th st and most prosperous farmers i e county. The farms are now a re of vegetable life as they wer st December. The greatest individual damag account of the tornado was sufifei by the Clover Cotton Manufactui g Co. Two of the three operatin ildings were practically demolist and the third badly damaged. Sis m tenant dwellings were either d oyed or badly damaged. Mr. M. I lith, the general manager of th mpany, estimates the mill's dan e at $50,000, while the damage b e tornado and hail combined is es nated at half a million dollars.

Probably no candidate ii ncaster county has ever been ac rded so great an ovation or beei jeived with greater warmth of hos ality and feeling than was Judg ties to-day by citizens of Heat] rings.

BLEASE ENDORSED JONES. r After He Voted Against the Separate Coach Law. t We copy the following from the e Journal of the South Carolina House d of Representatives of 1892. It will be found on page 6: ,r "A quorum being present, the e chair announced that the first busie ness in order was the election of a i- speaker, and that nominations were >f in order. ;r Mr. John E.

SOLONS GRINDING OUT WORK. g Big Appropriation Bills Taking Up iTheir Time. Washington, Aug. 1.?Several of J* the members of the South Carolina e delegation in the house of represenl~ tatives are being kept very close to y the grindstone in these midsummer 5~ days because of the important part which they have had in framing big appropriation bills, on which they will be or are already acting as coni ferees in trying to compromise the differences between the house and the senate, e Representatives Lever and Johns son are conferees, respectively, on the if agricultural appropriation bill and e the legislative, executive and judiciy al appropriation biilj which have now d reached a point where there are only d a few serious items of disagreement n between the house and senate to be s settled. The delay has been long on d both measures, however, and two h. resolutions extending the operation s- of the former appropriations have r been ecessary to keep the departr ments involved from having to cease nmlni* + r\ lo^lr fnnrlfl Q W W 1 IV W W tw 1UUU VJ. The postoffice appropriation bill, q on which Chairman Moon, of the i- committee on postoffices and post e roads, and representatives D. E. Finh ley, of South Carolina, will be the conferees on the part of the house, r was held in the senate for over three h. months after it had been sent to that r body from the lower chamber, which 1 passed it on the 2d of last May. Mr. e Finley had an important share in the s framing of this measure, which cars ries over $260,000,000 and on which s there were hearings extending over e several months, and he has chafed - under the long delay of the senate h in doing its less arduous part of the y work. The senate committee has change^ the house bill in several vital particulars, as to the parcels post provision, as to the anti-gag rule provision, and as to the rider for fed~ eral aid in good road construction, which the senate committee rejected. 0 After the senate gets done with the 0 bill, it wil probably be in conference ^ several weeks. f SILENT NEARLY* THREE YEARS. ;t y Even Ether Test Fails to Make California Convict Talk. e Sacramento, Cal., July 29.?Even ?

Death raced with the Southern Railway Isle of Palms excursion train yesterday and won the race. Aboard the train was an aged white man, William Conner, of Columbia, bleeding from fearful injuries but still with a chance for life if he could be gotten to the hospital in time. At Branchville he had fallen beneath t the wheels of the train and both his legs had been severed. Hurried exI amination showed that his only chance for life was to reach a hispital quickly. Death won the race, however, for Conner breathed his last just as the train was pulling into the union station. Conner was one of the many passengers on the excursion train who were coming to Charleston to spend the day at the Isle of Palms. As usual the train stopped at Branch ville for ten minutes, during which time passengers are allowed to leave the train for lunch. Mr. Conner, it is said, overstayed the time, and when the train started to move out of the depot, he ran after it, but unfortunately slipped as he was climb| ing upon the steps of the coach, and fell between the wheels. Botfy legs were severed, one above the knee and the other below. The train was stopped and the old gentleman was picked up and carried to the baggage room, where, at the I suggestion of Dr. Wimberly, of Branchville, the start was made for Charleston. The loss of blood and the shock, however, caused Conner's death while the train was pulling into the union station. After the viewing of the body by Coroner O'Donnell the remains were removed to the Stuhr undertaking establishment on Wentworth street, where the inquest will be held this morning. O'Conner's relatives in Columbia have been notified. He has a daughter living in Charleston, Mrs. S. H. Thompson, of No. 12 D street.?Charleston News and Courier, Aug. 5. Belated Justice for Alaska. The passage by congress of the Alaska civil government bill will be an act of justice long delayed. Alas kans claim that the lack of home'rule and the restrictions that have been placed on them and their territoryhave operated to prevent the development of the country. We have not done by the American citizens who have gone to the territory to seek fortunes as we have insisted upon being done by at home.. It is a matter of simple right to permit them to manage local government, as they are empowered to do under the bill that has passed both houses of congress and is now in conference, where the few minor details of difference between the house and senate will be straightened out. The legislature that is to be established is to consist of but one house of 16 members. This provision is in line with the modern tendency to concentrate responsibility. There is a further provision that the legislature can remain in session but 60 days within any two years. It is expected that this time limit may save some of the legislative mischief that Massachusetts is too well acquainted with beyond all other States. > Not all of us know that Alaska is considerably more than one-sixth the size of the rest of the United States, nor that since the territory was u? u* OAfk innre than 4ft bUUgilt lUi ^ |ttv VjV V V ilAW- V v~.? years ago, we have received from it in gold $195,916,520. Beyond that we have received more than $51,000,000 worth of sealskins, and more than $17,000,000 in cash revenue. Reckoning everything in, it is claimed that the total Alaska has yielded to this country since we bought it is $446,640,984, that we have expended for purchase, postal service and all other governmental purposes the sum of $35,816,764, leaving a balance of over $410,800,000 in favor of the Alaskans. Nor should it he forgetten that the forest, mineral and other stores of natural wealth are not to be turned over to the comparatively small population in the territory by the terms of the civil government bill. The federal government is to retain control of these resources, and will be relied upon later on to open them to development upon just terms. Such is the story of the relief that Alaska has been so slow in getting, which very strikingly illustrates the small attention which congress has been and is ready to pay to Uncle Sam's outlying possessions. No wonder that there is the greatest rejoicing in Alaska over the prospect that matters of local rule can oe aeau with on the spot after the fashion which the founders of the republic established with their blood. The only republican method is now- to be somewhat applied to the adventurous Americans whose interests are in Alaska.?Springfield Republican. We cover all kind of umbrellas and parasols. Write F. G.

To the voters of the second conj gressional district: Gentlemen: ? i Sixty days ago I wrote you through i the various county papers that the Bristow amendment to the bill for ! the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people was a Republican measure, dangerous to the South and a challenge to Southern manhood.

Senator Bacon, of Georgia, voted against it, saying it was a menace to the South, and many others, too numerous to mention. Mr. James F. Byrnes (our little Jimmie) voted for the Bristow i amendment.

In our tiny sphere we live and move and have our being, hope and toil and struggle, love and laugh and dream, then suddenly when the goal of our ambition is reached, and sue- ' cess seems assured, "the silver cord > is loosed, the pitcher broken at the fountain," and all that remains of us is a memory!

What : a comforting thought to the sorrow- JP ing parents, brother, relatives and ? * friends, who only a few short days * ago laid away the loved form of the promising young man so lately among us with his cheery greeting, genial laugh, and cordial hand clasp! Few perhaps outside of his immediate family circle have known him longer or loved him more sincerely jm than the writer, who in tender mem- *9^ ory of the happy intercourse of years, (alas! now ended for all time) thus records some of the many admirable axid lovable traits which endeared him to me, and gained for him the esteemed friendship of all who knew him. Ambitious in the extreme, generous and unselfish to a fault, affable and courteous to all, he was an affectionate and dutiful son, a kind and ^ 4 loving brother, and loyal and unfailing friend. In boyhood he united with the Baptist church at this place, which" membership he retained to the day of his death, in the old home towp and among the friends of his childhood and young manhood. By undaunted energy and perseverance he had established himself + in a lucrative business in the city of Savannah, Ga., where for twelve years he had been a boarder in the home of an estimable Christian lady who loved and treated him as a son. How he was regarded in his adopted home, in his place of business, in his circle of friends, and by the fra- \ ternal orders of which he was a member, was evidenced by the numerous and costly floral offerings of rare and beautiful design, which ac companied his body from the city to , the Moye burying ground near Bu- ( J ford's Bridge, where by the side of ff his only sister, called hence in beau- J tiful budding womanhood; we laid him to rest, "earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust!"
