Meeting Board Of Health.

At meeting of the board of health
held last Thursday afternoon the follow
ing resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That it is the unqualified
opinion of this board that it is detri-
mental in the highest degree to the health
of the town to allow hogs within the in
corporate limits at any season and within
lots of any size. This question has been
seriously considered by the board, and
they are unalterably opposed to any
action which would allow hogs within
the town, and they recommend to the
citizens that in voting at the election
which has been ordered. by council, that
they maturely consider the matter, and in
this connection statistics show that there
has been less typhoid fever and other
diseases arising from animal matter in
town since the removal of hogs than be-
fore.
Resolved, That in the opinion of the
board, health officer is absolutely needed,
and should be at the service of the board
continuously, and not for any limited
period, and the board earnestly recon-
mend to council that they make this office
a permanent one, to be filled by an annual
election, the officer to hold his office for
one year, subject to removal for cause by
action of council upon the recommenda-
ton of the board.
Resolved, That the board renew its
recommendation to council to have the
ditch which drains the pond back of the
lot near the Jail and that which drains
Counts's bay cleaned out, and they urge
that this work be done at once for the
promotion of the public health.

Negro Gets His Arm Cat OF.

Frank Maynard, a colored youth of
seventeen years, came near meeting his
death on last Friday night AS it is, his
right arm is gone, and some severe
bruises are on his head. This is, as far
as we can learn, the result of carelessness
on his part.
When the seyen-forty night train had
drawn up at the depot, some one near the
bank saw body lying on the edge of the
track and heard groans coming from that
direction When he got to the negro, he
was unconscious; other people were at
tracted to the scene; doctors were sum-
moned and the negro removed to the
office of doctor Bronson Here the badly
mangled arm was amputated and the
other wounds dressed Maynard did not
regain consciousness until Saturday
morning. When asked how it happened,
he, said that he did not remember any
.hing but that he was standing on the
steps of the train with two other boys
who had come with him from Midway,
and that he had paid his fare from that
place to Bamberg; they had come to meet
the excursion which had gone to Savan-
nah in the morning. AS he was picked
up about ten feet from the switch gate
which leads to the cotton platform, 1t is
commonly supposed that he was getting
off the train before it had stopped and
that he came in contact with the gate
which threw him under the wheels.

Our Cotton Market.

The Orangeburg papers take issue with
the statement that Bamberg's buyers pay
higher prices for cotton than those in
Orangeburg, and cite in support OF their
contention the fact that an Orangeburg
buyer bought cotton on this market and
had it shipped over there. They ask why
should this buyer have come to Bamberg
to buy cotton and paid the freight on it
to Orangeburg if he could have bought it
on that market at lower price.
The most reasonable explanation of this
is that the buyer mentioned could not get
the cotton in Orangeburg. The, staple
was not coming to market as rapidly as
at this point, and he bought it here be-
cause it was needed right away and it
was not obtainable there. Our informa-
ton is that one of the cotton mills there
wanted the cotton, and wanted it at once.
Possibly the higher prices being paid
here explains why the receipts here have
been larger than at other points.

them all, and to suggest to those still in

lay. Everybody ought to be able to pay

thing is certain: If you take this paper
