Baseball Controversy Ends.

EDITOR TIE BAMBEEG HERALD -
Please allow me to explain some mlsun-
derstandings that occurred III the Hartzog
Happenings in regard to the Oak Grove
and Hartzog baseball game on the 2sth OF
June. I did not mean to cast any lnslnu-
ations upon the Oak Grove or Hartzog
teams, and if either Of the teams took 1t
to be offended at, they did not get the
meaning which intended to construe.

EDITOR THE BAMBERG HERALD:-Oak
Grove wishes to relieve the correspondent
from Hartzog from the misunderstanding
concerning Oak Grove and Hartzog ball
game, as he was not familiar with cause
of trouble. (He did not use serious
trouble" but just "trouble," an oversight

pleasantness towards US. U. +.

garding the newspaper controversy be.

circumstance, and hope hereafter to main
tain peaceful and amicable relations

Progress in Ehrhardt.

EHRHARDT, July 12.-An extra two
mill tax was recently voted for the Ehr-
hardt graded school. This action is a
sign of prosperity that is gladly welcomed
by the whole school district. The follow
ing trustees were selected: J. G. Cope
land, Ben CLAYTON, Elzie Copeland, Henry
Ehrhardt, and DR.. J. H. Roberts.
Prof. Francis Folk of Folks Store, has
been elected superintendent of the school.
Prof. Folk is graduate of Clemson
college and comes highly recommended:
He has taught successfully for several
years in Pickens county.
The Methodists have some of the
lumber on the ground with which to
build their new church. The Lutherans,
also, are alive to their interests, and are
making arrangements to have erected In
the near future a new house of worship.
The towns annual picnic was held in
the grove in front of Mr.. Conrad Ehr-
hardt's house the Fourth Of July.
Speeches were made by Rev. Messrs.
Wilson, McKissick and Chisolm. Ice
cream was served by the ladies of the
Lutheran church; proceeds to 60 to the
fund to be used in getting suitable fencing
for the cemetery.
Rev. J. II. Wilson, who for the past IA
years has so ably served the Lutheran
congregation of this place, has accepted a
call from the First Lutheran church of
Salisbury, N. G. No man has done more
to upbuild this community or has ell
deared himself more to the people than
has Mr.. Wilson, and there is universal
regret that he thinks best to cast his lot
elsewhere.
Mr.. Boone, of Charleston, who has had
Is years experience with the Plant
system, has been transferred to the depot
here to take the place of Mr.. Bikle, who
has a position as railway mail clerk in
the civil service.
MI. T. D. Jones and family, formerly
of this place, but now of Bishopyille, are
visiting friends and relatives in the COM
munity. Mr.. Jones has been reelected
principal of the Bishopville graded school,
and will return there about the first OF
September to take charge of his work.
The Ehrhardt baseball association has
been organized with Mr.. S. W. Copeland,
captain. They have already played two
games with Oak Grove, yielding one and
winning the other. They will try the
strength of the Branchyille team next
Tuesday at the old mill.

MistoOk the Parrot for a Bird.

At dinner the other night a wager
was laid that Marshall P Wilder, the EN-
tertaincr, could not tell fifty parrot stories
in succession, says the New York Tribune.
He did it without turning feather, and
so many of them were new that the man
who came away and told about it could
remember only one.
1t was CT the parrot which escaped
through window and perched in tree
The owners efforts to capture 1t, even
with a butterfly net, were in vain. He
stood at the bottom of the tree swearing 6
at the bird, when ar Irishman came along.
"What is the natter" demanded Pat.
81 can't catch that darned bird" said
the man, "and here is dollar for the
man who can"
II am the man." cried Pat, and he
started up the tree.
AS he climbed from branch to beanch
the parrot did the same. Finally they
neared the top, and the branches began
to wabble danger-speech.
What the devil 10 you want?" it de,
manded.
Il beg your pardon" cried Pat, already
half way down the tree. Il thought you
was bird"

Toad Stones.

Most readers have no doubt heard Of
the precious jewels which the toad car
ries in his brain box, and so called
toadstones, which were in reality the
teeth of fossil fish, were formerly worn
In finger rings as a protection against
poison.
1t was thought that the best stones
were those voluntarily elected by the
living toads; but, as the latter were not
addicted to freely giving up their treas
ures in that way, it was necessary to
procure the coveted articles by other
means, and the recognized method was
to decapitate the hapless batrachian
at the instant he swallows his breath.
The feat naturally demanded consider
able celerity, such as could only be ac-
quired by constant practice, and 1t Is
not reasonable, therefore, to assume
that, although the endeavors to gain
possession Of the jewels were perhaps
numerous, they must have invariably
been unsatisfactory, especially to the
toadS.

A young man bashfully approached a
popular official few days ago and said:
Judge, I have come to ask your ad-
vice. You have always been like a father
to me, and / have now come TO you in a
very important matter I am thinking
of getting married.
"Well, young man." interrupted the
Judge, if you are thinking of getting
married 60 do it right away. Don't wait,
because the girl might not be willing this
time tomorrow"
"But you see," protested the youth,
"I'm afraid I'm not able to take care of
her."
"Tut, tut" depreciatingly retorted the
judge. "Why, when I got married | was
twenty-one years old and 81 300 in debt"
as that so?" exclaimed the other with
happy encouragement cleaning from his
eye. And I suppose you must now be
worth about
"And now," concluded the judge, "Pm
only $500 in debt"
The young man has not yet married.

An Earnest RelisiOnist.

Will Moody, son and successor at North
field of the late Dwight l.. Moody, tells
the following story, apropos Of recent
theological events, about young convert
in the Salvation army, who, earnest and
Jealous, was imbued with the idea that he
must speak to everyone on the subject of
religion. He was especially moved one
day while travelling to address a some
what austere individual seated in front Of
him. Touching him on the shoulder, he
put the usual question: My brother, are
you Christian"
Sir" was the reply-and perhaps with
shade of impatience-"Im professor
in theological seminary"
But this only seemed to call for re-
newed effort, and the young man was
equal to it. "My dear brother" he said,
"as you value your soul, don't let thing
like that stand between you and the
Lord"

A few days ago we received marked

A few days ago we received marked
copy of the Columbia Record containing
an anonymous article defending the State
board of dispensary directors, the piece
being. signed Justice and not dated at
any town. The article was marked In
order to call our attention to it, the paper
had a one-cent stamp on it for postage,
and was evidently not sent out from a
newspaper Office. Our supposition is that
it was sent by some member of the board
and in order to get favorable editorial
comment from u.s. Instead of leaving
their defense to anonymous scribblers,
we think the members of the board would
do much better to come out over their
own signatures and answer in detail the
charges made against them. This article
did not attempt to refute the charges, but
only made unsupported assertions.

.AristOcr;Rtic Ants.

The slaveholdsng ants are Of several
kinds and differ greatly in the manner
in which they treat their vassals. Some
make them do all the work under the
direction Of overAeers; others share
their labors, while still others have
fallen into such ha bits Of luxury as to
be unable or unwilling to wait upon or
even to feed themselves and are car
ried about and provided with food by
their body servants. In many cases
this sybarttism is the mere ostentatlous
love of being served. The incapacfty Is
not physical, but moral, and arises
from an aristocrahc aversion to any
kind Of menial labor.

Senatorial Candidates in Orangeburg.

ORANGEBURG, July 10.-The Senatorial
candidates reached here on special train
this morning The meeting was held in
a grove near the court house. Hon. w
O. Tatum, county chairman, presided, and
prayer was offered by Rev. II. B. Browne.
This was the snappiest meeting, the
largest crowd and the most interesting
audience of the campaign. Being the
home of the late Dr. Stokes, the mention
of his name famed up the slumbering
Goals and produced intense interest.
Evans read Stokes letter and Latimer
made his usual reply amid the greatest
excitement. Evans also showed another
letter, whose author offered to produce
atfidavits to establish his statements. 1t
stated that Latimer's best friend, l.. D.
Harris of Bolton, says that Latimer did
say he had sent pass to DR.. Stokes; that
he offered a pass to the president of bank
in Belton to go to Mexico, but the presl-
dent refused it. The president of bank
in Anderson and Latimer's brother-in-
law went, however, on passes. Evans
also charged Latimer with haying voted
to donate property in Washington valued
at three million dollars to the Pennsyl-
vania railroad.
To this charge and to the last letter
Latimer made no reply, except to say that
he had ridden on free transportation and
that any one in the audience would do it
too He again referred to the charges
against Evans concerning rebates and
said the man who knew all about it, MIR.
Ryan, is still alive but has never been
called upon the stand to disprove the
charges.
Evans replied that he had produced on
the stand Mr.. Ryan's oath. This was the
most exciting episode of the campaign so
far
Latimer touched up Johnstone which
caused that gentleman to rub it into him
on all sides.

Dreasinr a Hog.

1t is told Of the late P. D. Armour
that on one occasion he made present
Of suit of clothes to each Of his en-
ployees in a certain department. Each
man was told that he might order his
own suit and send the bill to Mr.. Ar
miour, no restrictions being made as to
price. In order to avail himself fully
of this liberality one young man Or
dered evening clothes costing $50.
When the bill was sent in, Mr.. Armour
sent for the clerk to vouch for its ac-
curacy and, finding it right, assured
the man it would be paid. As the clerk
was leaving, however, Mr.. Armour said
to him:
Il wish to say to you that have
packed q great many hogs in my time,

A young man, whose gallantry was
largely in excess of his pecuniary means
sought to remedy this defeat and to save
the money required for the purchase of
expensive flowers by arranging with a
gardener to let him have bouquet from
time to time in return for his cast off
clothes. So it happened that one day he
received bunch of the most beautiful
roses, which he at once dispatched to his
lady love. In sure anticipation of a
friendly welcome, he called at the house
of the young woman the same evening,
and was not little surprised at frosty
reception.
After pause the young woman re-
marked in the most frigid tones: "You
sent ME note today"
