County Board Meeting.

The county board Of commissioners
met last Thursday and considered several
matters. Every member of the board
was present.
H. +. Rice, Esq, was elected county
attorney, his term to expire January 1st,
1908.
Mrs. Martha NJ. Myers was placed on
the pauper list.
The board concluded that it was only
right and just to feed the Supervisors
horse and allow him buggy for his use
in travelling over the county, which was
adopted.
The board decided to divide the county
advertising between the two papers here.
The board also held 4 hearing in refer
ence to the proposed new road between
Denmark and Hightower's mill. On
account of the large crowd present, the
meeting was held in the court house.
BEFORE going into the matter compro-
mise agreement Was sought between
those in favor of the road and those op-
posed, but they could not agree. The
taking of testimony consumed several
hours, and the end is not yet. The meet
ing adjourned to meet at Denmark Sat
urday, the Goth, at which time it is hoped
the matter will be concluded. Jno. K.
Bellinger, Esq, represented those in
favor of the road, and A. Mc1ver Bos-
tick, ESQ, those opposed. The hearing
was attended by many of the prominent
citizens of Denmark and vicinity, and
much interest was manifested.

Uimer Locals.

ULMER, April 16.-We are quite fa-
nous for railroad accidents it seems.
Last Wednesday afternoon as the local
freight was backing out from the siding
three heavily loaded cars jumped the
track at the frog. Two of the cars were
loaded with phosphate in bulk, one in
merchandise. The car of merchandise
wasn't much damaged. The phosphate
was scattered far and near. leaving rs
one rich spot at least. There were some
buckets Of candy in the box of merchan-
disc and oh my! how the section hands
did eat. How could they help it? They
failed to telegraph the local passenger at
Fairfax and they run right down on them
and had to wait till one o'clock next
morning before the track was clear for
them to pass. BY Thursday afternoon
everything was cleared up and the wreck
ing train gone. Fortunately no one was
hurt.
Mrs. Emma Brant has been in bed with

Mrs Bullock is a fluent, logical speaker,
! a loyal representatives of her wonderful
organization. She came under the aus
pices of the W. G. T. Union for the pur
pose of organizing chapter at this place.
Mrs. Langdon Rice has been chosen presi-
dent, and with this progressive, Christian
lady at the head of the movement, it is
natural for us all to expect much good to
be accomplished. Save the boys" is the
cry of millions of Christian mothers.
This is special feature of this society
and the most important problem which
mothers are trying to solve. This COM
munity is no better than the average
Therefore, every concerted movement
which promises to become influential in
shaping the tides of life should receive
the hearty support of the thinking and
praying people. Crime and discomfort
ment in the lives of children may be
traced directly to that period in which
misguided energy has misshaped the ten
denotes of life. If the organization at
Denmark reclaims or even guides the life
of one boy or one girl, the movement
will then have become a blessing and
paving investment of time and talent.

All doctors have tried to cure catarrh
by the use of powders, acid gases, in
halcrs and drugs in paste form. Their
powders dry up the mucuous membranes
causing them to crack open and bleed.
The powerful acids used in the inhalerS
have entirely eaten away the same men,
brancS that their makers have aimed to
cure, while pastes and ointments cannot
reach the disease. An old and expert
enced practitioner who has for many
years made close study and specially of
the treatment of catarrh, has at last per.
fectcd treatment which when faithfully
used, not only relieves at once, but per-
manently cures catarrh, by removing the

An Hour in Bam herg.

April the 2nd spent Il pleasant hour
in the town of Bambers. | had been on
preaching visit to Ehrhardt and vicin-
ity, which lies beyond the wilderness as
thou yoest Southwark. Bamberg is
booming, evidently growing in green
backs. The religious situation, | am told,
is fairly good, grace and glory being
somewhat at discount generally. No
worse there than in many other promis-
ing lands, but like those many promising
lands here below, they do not seek their
God as they do the gold That everlast-
ing gushing we'll in Bamberg is for
tune. Id feel like leaving the town if
that well would 60 dry though l owned
there vast estate, and was permanent
inhabitant. The water rcfreshes the i'll
ner man and the particular effect is very
artesian. The hotels of the place should
be crowded with pale patients from a
distance seeking health. / met few of
the hopeful citizens. One was Mr.. c. ".
Garris, the r. R. Commissioner. He no
longer fattens shoats and tends the
'taters, but is faring sumptuouSly in
Cope's Cafe, boarding in the hotel.
Strong limbed and long winded, he
would give some man trouble and much
anguish of spirit in running race for
political prize. Another was Mr.. j. r.
Bellinger, a prominent member of the
bar in Bamberg and is well known in
Greenville, where he practiced law years
ago. He is good Mason and that is
saying a great deal. There is lots of
character in that saying, "lIe is good
Mason" Mr.. J. A. Byrd was the third
person, singular, I shook hands and said
"howdy" There is slight resemblance
in him to Alb Blythe of Greenville. Mr..
Byrd did remind me of that courteous
gentleman who years ago was republi-
can, but afterwards repented and became
sound in democracy, and Is now enjoying
the highest favor of his fellow citizens.
I found H. J. Brabham in the bank office.
He is looking somewhat venerable now
but very cheerful. This cashier handles
a quantity of cash and coin, but think
he has treasures above. When Jasper
Brabham dies, which I hope will be forty
years from now, write this on his tomb
stone: He was diligent in business, fer
vent in Spirit, serving the Lord" l re-
gret my stay and observations in B. were
so limited, but some day in May, will
90 and stay a whole day-Circuit Rider.

Fire in EhrharQt.

Last Wednesday night at - o'clock
our little town was aroused by the fire
alarm. Mr. l. D. Copeland's store with
contents was completely destroyed. 1t
was impossible to save anything for him.
A large crowd soon gathered, and their
attention was given to Reynolds drug
store, which was the adjoining building.
1t caught fire several times and was saved
only by the heroic efforts of Ehrhardt
Bucket Brigade. At one time the store
was burning in four places, and the larger
portion of the crowd at this point seemed
to lose hope of saving the building and
gave their service to moving out into the
street the contents of the store, but j. d.
Quattlebaum stuck firm on the roof and
kept up the cry for more water. Soon
he was reinforced and the water was
handed up with increasing rapidity until
the flames were extinguished, Mr.. Cope
lands loss was $4,SO0, only partly cover
ed by insurance. Mr.. Reynolds stock OF
drugs was badly damaged by breakasc.
