The second primary election will be held on Tuesday. September Sth. Much interest will centre in this primary, as it will name the final selection of Democratic nominees. The Herald force worked all night f to get this issue of The Herald in the postoffice Wednesday morning, containing news of the election. However, nothing is too good for our readers. The Rev. E. K. F. Roof, the Lutheran minister of Ehrhardt, will preach at the Methodist church next Sunday morning at eleven o ciock. The public is cordially invited to attend thi6 service. Mayfield Grayson was shot in a difficulty Friday night by Tom Sease, both negroes. The ball entered Grayson's neck, under the right cheek bone, making its exit near the eye. The wound is not considered serious. Mr. G. A. Jennings has purchased the residence of Mrs. H. M. Stubbs, and is now occupying it with his family.' Dr. F. B. McCrackin, whose cottage was vacated by Mr. Jennings, has mov ; I into hi6 own residence. Messrs. B. B. Sloan and B. B. . . Leitzsey appeared before Recorder John W. Earhardt Wednesday morning on the charge of fighting. Mr. Sloan was fined $3. The case against Mr. Leitzsey was. di "issed.?Newberry Herald and News. Hon. S. G. Mayfield has been named by Commissioner Watson, president of the (Southern Cotton > congress, as a member of the national warehouse committee. The committee is composed of one member from each cotton growing State. The x 1- v~v?ip committee is tu wum iu ucuan m the establishment of cotton warehouses that will conform to the federal requirements. The Herald has a great deal of money dtie on subscriptions. During the summer months when thing6 were dull and money scarce we carried over many of our subscribers. Now that the farmers are selling cotton, they are requested to come in and pay their subscriptions. A dollar and a half is a small amount to an \ individual, but it amounts to a great v deal when there are a considerable such sums due a newspaper. The Cotton Caterpillar. Friday morning Mr. J. T. O'Neal brought to The Herald office from t his plantation near town a specimen of the cotton caterpillar, which has made its appearance on his place. The worms are reported on other plantations. The farmers dread thi6 pest, which is one of the worst that f cotton has to contend with. The worms attack the leaves, and when they once get a good start, devastate entire fields in a few days. However, the late arrival of the caterpillar may hinder it from doing v very much damage, even if it becomes generally prevalent. New Advertisements. 4 i Delk's Market?That Tempting Odor.

A NEW RAILROAD PROJECT. Road is Proposed From Estill to St. Paul. S. C. In another column of this issue of The Herald is published a notice of the opening of the books of subscription to the capital stock of the Savannah Western Railroad company, the purpose of which company is the building of a railroad from "a point at and in the towns of Estill and Lena." in Hampton county "to and into St. Paul," in Clarendon county. The petitioners signing the notice of opening of books of subscription are Messrs. G. H. .Milligan. Virgil Walker and Adrian M. Rea. The proposed route 0j railroad is as follows: Begining ... d point at and in the towns of Estill and Lena, j in Goethe township, Hampton conn-I ty; thence through Goethe and Peeples townships, in Hampton, thence! through Broxton and Warren town ships, in Colleton, tnence tnrougn i the Fish Pond township, in Bamberg, thence through Branchville. Cow Castle, Providence and Vance townships, in Orangeburg, and thence through St. Paul township, in Clarendon, to and into St. Paul, in Clarendon county. T^ie railroad is to be approximately 90 miles in length. The books will be opened in Columbia, at the law offices of E. L. Craig. Esq. A Reflection on the County. Monday afternoon Sheriff Ray received from the governor instructions to appoint special deputies to watch each polling place in Bamberg county. The sheriff carried out the | command, appointing one deputy for each precinct. The telegram follows. "To S. G. Ray, Sheriff, Bamberg. S. C.: Reported that money has been sent to your county to be used in primary election tomorrow. Appoint special deputies to watch polling precincts and campaign headquarters.' and arrest all parties whom you can find using money or whiskey for influencing voters, and all parties whom you find attempting to intimidate voters. A strict observance of this is requested and demanded of you. "COLE L. BLEASE, Governor." Of course the telegram was sent by the governor for political purposes, and an eleventh-hour attempt to create a sentiment in his favor, but a sharp resentment was expressed by many that such an aspersion should be cast on the county. Bamberg county has always been peculiarly clean of election frauds. Chairman Folk gave out the following statement to the?Xew6 and Courier, in regard to the telegram: "This is an unusual procedure, and the action of Governor Blease is regarded as many as an attempt to cast an indignity upon the county committee, most of whom are opposed to his administration and candidacy. Bamberg county has always had fair elections, uninfluenced by fraud of any kind, and the action of Governor Blease was unnecessary. Xo money has been sent here, unless by the governor or his friends, and the election tomorrow will be a true expression of the will of our people, untainted by fraud of any kind."
