Churn Man in Trouble.

0. II. Franklin, who was in Bamberg a
few months ago selling county rights for
4 patent swing churn of his own invcn-
tiun, got into trouble over 1T Hampton
1t seems that he sold rights for the same
counties to more than one party, and q
warrant for his arrest was issued. He
was located ut Kings and an Officer
sent to arrest him, but he had been al
lowed to escape by the officials at Kings
tree The matter has been presented tC
Governor McSweeney. and he has offered
reward of 500 for the arrest OF
Franklin.
Franklin sold his county right while
here, and we met him several times, and
he appeared to be an honest, genteel man
The Hampton Guardian gives the follow
inw account of the trouble he is into:
For several weeks past the impression
has prevailed here that o. H. Franklin
the patentee and owner of the easy
churn," had acted in bad faith to those
who purchased territorial rights to manu-
facture and sell his churn. Recent de-
velopmentS show that he had first sold
the right of ten counties to Mr.. q. Nj
Adams, of BateSburg, and subsequently
sold the same to Mr.. l.. K. Etheredge, OF
St. Georges, receivinga a considerable sum
of cash therefor o. II. Franklin left here
for the avowed purpose of going to
Charleston to have sample churns manu-
featured for parties to whom he had sold
county rights, this being in accordance
with his contract with them. Having
written and waited reasonable time
without getting any answer, Mr.. B. H
Cuttino visited Charleston to see il
Franklin could be found, but could find
no trace of him there. On the Goth inst.
however, through the vigilance Of MIR
L. h. Etheredge and his attorney, Frank
lin was located at Kingstree. 1ntendan1
W. H. Kennedy (of Kingstree) was
promptly wired that Franklin was an i'm
postor, and to hold him until an officer
could reach there with warrant for his
arrest. The intendant replied that he
was under arrest, and asked what were
the charges and when would the Officer
arrive with warrant, when the following
reply was sent: Officer leaves on tirsl
train. Charge, obtaining money under
false pretenses." In order to reach Kings
tree at the shortest possible moment
Marshal A. D. Gooding, with warrant
ON last Friday morning drove to Yemas
see, and reached Kingstree in less thar
twenty-four hours after Franklin hac
been arrested, and found that Franklin
had been allowed to escape. 1t is under
stood that strong efforts are being made
to recapture him, and that the governor
has been petitioned to offer reward fol
his apprehension. Mr.. Gooding report:
that while under arrest at Kingstret
Franklin was neither put in prison no.
guarded by the authorities there. This i:
regarded as great outrage upon Mr.
Etheredge, who spared neither time no.
expense to have Franklin brought before
the bar of justice. Mr.. Etheredge intend!
to avail himself of the remedy afforded
bv the law of redress, and he is deter
mined to hold the kingstree authorize:
responsible for Franklin's escape.

Is 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Pat.
ent Mediciness

(Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N. C.l
1t may be aquestion whether the editor
of newspaper has the right to publicly
recommend any of the various proprietary
medicines which flood the market, yet as
a preventive of suffering we feelit duty
to say a good word for Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy.
We have known and used this medicine
in our family for twenty years, and have
always found it reliable. IN many cases
dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while physician is awaited.
We do not believe in depending implicitly
on any medicine for cure, but We do be-
lieve that if bottle of Chamberlains
Diarrhea Remedy were kept on hand
and administered at the inception of an
attack much suffering might be avoided,
and in very many cases the presence of a
physician would not oe required. At
least this has been our experience during
the past twenty years. For sale by all
druggists and medicine dealers.

Thursday, July 5, 1900.

Some of our contemporaries seem to
think that we were quoting Senator Till
man last week in an article predicting who
would be the successful candidates for
State offices. This is mistake; We gave
the opinion of this paper only. While
Tillman did say, in his speech, that he
knew about how things would turn out,
he did not indicate what candidates are
likely to be the winners.

ONE YEARS WORK.

Twelve months have passed since the
present editor assumed control of The
BANBERG HERALD. Amid many diff
culties and veXatiOnS We have worked to
give this county such newspaper as
would reflect credit on its people and ad-
vertise us to the world as energetic, pro-
greSsive citizens 1t is true that We have
not made the paper what We would like
to-there is still great room for improve
ment-but We want to say that whatever
Improvements have been accomplished is
due to the hearty support and sympathy
extended to us, by the country people
especially. Our friends in the town have
patronized this paper more literally than
any sheet ever printed here, but still
there are some who send out of town for
work in our line, which rightfully belongs
to u.s. The publication of tirst-class
newspaper here helps the business of each
one of them, and it is only right and just
that they should give US what little job
printing they have done.
The circulation is now almost double
what it was when we took charge, and
our subscribers have paid up we'll. We
doubt very much if there is a weekly
newspaper in the State with better paid
up list than THE BAMBERG HERALD.
For this we are very grateful, and hope
to show our gratitude by giving our sub
scribers a better paper for their dollar
than they have been receiving during the
past year.
In our news and editorial columns we
have endeavored to be absolutely i'm
partial, giving the news without favor or
Earnish, and expressing our opinions in a
gentle but unmistakable manner Maybe
We have made some enemies, but that is
to be expected in newspaper work. You
can't please everybody, and the, news
paper editor who attempts it will have his
efforts result in disastrous failure. We
have had no wrongs to avenge and no
private spleen to crafty, and no article
has appeared in our columns actuated by
malice or personal motives. We expect
to continue to have our own opinions,
and to express them whenever We feel
like it. This paper is the mouthpiece or
organ of no man or set of men, and it will
always fight for what it considers to be
the right principle, regardless of those
who may disagree with it. We shall try
to represent the people of Bamberg
county in everything which will be for
their best interests, and in our efforts we
solicit the support and patronage of all
our citizens.

Our DELEGATION in Kansas City.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, July 3.-The South
Carolina delegation to the National Dem
ocratic Convention arrived here about Z
o'clock this afternoon. Senator Tillman
met the delegation at the union passenger
station and accompanied them to theil
headquarters at No. 2,605 East 18th street
where he had provided comfortable quar-,
tiers for them.
The city is beautifully decorated, the
Stars and Stripes being the most conspic-
uous of all the flags displayed, and al
every street corner and in all hotels and
saloons Bryan's picture decorates the
walls; but the name of the man who is to
support him, if he should be elected, is
not be seen, and from what your CORE
spondent can learn there is not the re-
m0test idea as to who he will be. The
general sentiment Of all Of the delegates
from the South seems to favor Hill. In
fact there would be no question as to his
nomination if it were not for the fact
that he and Bryan evidently differ on the
16 to issue TOwne is not in it, although
he is here and has been working hard for
several days to bring his name before the
Convention Van Mvck is being talked
of, but do not think his name will be
presented to the Convention: Mcmillan,
of Tennessee, will no doubt secure the
vote of the Tennessee delegation for Vice
President from complimentary stand
point, but he is not in it, and will receive
very little, if any, consideration.
II is rumored that Hill did not visit
Lineoln Ct Rryan's solicitation, but, on the
contrary, he solicited the interview, and
was very happy when Bryan telegraphed
that he would be glad to see him:
The Convention hall is not yet com
pletsd, but with the large force that is
now at work upon it the probability is
that it will be in condition to receive the
delegates by 10 o'clock tomorrow, July 1.
There are about 10000 visitors in the city.
Senator Tillmam is also being men
toned as candidate for vice-president,
but he said to-day that he would not ac
cept the nomination under any circum-
stances.

GOOD ROADS.

The people of Bamberg county are
thoroughly aroused on the subject Of
good roads, and this will no doubt be one
of the most prominent issues in oul
county campaign, and the candidate who
is not believer in and supporter of good
roads will find himself in hostile crowd
In conversation few days ago, on
this subject, with one of our prominent
citizens and large taxpayers, he gave us
his idea for road law for this county
which is something like this: The county
should hire at least fifteen (or more if ne
cessary) convicts from the State, these to
be supplemented by the county chain
gang, and all to work under TIE county
overseer and guards. Make the road tax
two dollars, and no ROAD duty-ifit is not
paid, proceed as with poll tax. This
would make failure to pay misdemeanor,
and the delinquent liable to fine or i'm
prisonment. He said if a gang of twenty
convicts were kept on our roads for five
years, We would have the best highways
of any county in the State, and after that
time they could be kept up with small
force.
We commend this to our next repre-
sentatives in the legislature, whoever
they may be, with the assurance that our
people want good roads, want them bad,
and are willing to pay for them. If the
scheme briefly outlined above does not
meet their approval, that's ell right. Our
citizens are not welded to any one
scheme-what they desire is better high
ways.
This newspaper may be pardOned for
rejoicing at the almost unanimous opinion
of our people on this subject. We have
for the past twelve months harped on the
good roads question, in season and out of
season, and it is source of much graft
fcation to us to realize that our work
along this line has done good. Nothing
would pay the town of Bamberg better
than good thoroughfares. The amount
of trade kept away from here now on &C
count of almost impossible roads is con-
siderable. Our sister town, Denmark, is
ahead of us in this respect. The roads
leading into that place have been greatly
improved by the work of Township Com
missioner Chas. McGeiver, aud they will
be still better, for Senator Mayfleld, at the
last session of the legislature, had 1 bill
passed authorizing the levy of L special
road tax of two mills in the Denmark
school district. This levy will raise about
$500 to be used on the roads within the
bounds of that district, which in year or
two will make them first class thorough
fares. The good example set by those
people should enthuse all our citizens to
the extent of determining that all the
highways of Bamberg county shall be
second to none in any county in the
State.
