DENMARK, April 3O-The record
breaking April weather has, to certain
degree, upset the risky calculations of all
farmers. Very probably the seemingly
deplorable conditions are blessings in
disguise. Cotton seed is at premium.
Greedy and unneighborly is that man who
takes advantage of his friends misfor'
tune and forces them to pay the enormous
price of $1OO per bushel for seed. This
is nothing short of stealing, to say moth
ing of the outrageous example father
places before his son in committing such
crime. Money is good thing, but God
doesn't intend for it to eclipse the ideal
principles of true, bonest manhood. The
day of retribution is coming. Say, ex-
tortioner, are you really proud of the op-
portunity of being SO unreasonably sell
fish? ! am glad Bamberg county has q
limited number Of such animals. Far
mers are generally classed as being the
most accommodating people in the world,
but the various incidents which have be-
come tho topics of talk are very rare, as
much so as the April weather. These are
extreme instances The whole county
has felt the kindness and interest of hun
dreds of the ideal class.
The cotton crop is being rapidly re-.
planted. In few days all will be we'll
again, and the people will be decidedly
wiser after having successfully overcome
such sudden, serious rebuff.
The Denmark High school will close
May so, 81, and June end. DR.. Henry S.

full program will be published later. In
few days the trustees will take up a
very important part of their annual az
fairs, and no duty will be So prominent
as the choice of competent corps OF
teachers for the 19O1-'02 session. The
present teaching force has made very
fine record, and it will be loss to the
people if change is effected, as the work
of the past session has been high in pull
pose and far-reaching in results,
The trustees have purchased a piano
for the school. This pleasant addition
will be great source of pure delight to
the entire school. The charm of music
makes touching appeal to children. In
few more years this school will be very
effective in it's work, as greater equip
ments supply the connecting influences
of modern growth.
The Baptist Sunday-school children
will give their annual picnic next Friday.
The anticipated pleasure of the occasion
is growing to fever heat among the little
tots The public school will give holiday,
thereby increasing their delight.
Judge S. G. Ray has had some novel
cases up for consideration during the
past week. Two white gentlemen plead
guilty to the charge of fish trapping and
the Judge has reserved his decision in re-
gard to the rights Of the famous "possum
hunter" Other sensational prosecutions
are set for the'comipg week. "Come into
court" is an exciting call these days.
