Bamberg Guards.

Tuesday night, April 9th, marked
another epoch in the history Of the BAN
berg Guards. Promptly at $50 o'clock
Capt. W. r. Wright called the assemblage
to order, and the work Of reorganiZing
and election of officers went forward.
From the beginning lively interest was
displayed, and there were many exciting
races between the candidates for different
offices. The reorganization made it neces,
sary to elect all officers from the Captain
down. The following gentlemen were
elected: W. R. Wright, Captain; Edgar
L. Price, 1st Lieutenant;J. F. Hunter, 2nd
Lieutenant; Jno. F. Brickle, 3rd Lieuten-
ant; D. W. Phillips, 1st Sergeant; G. C.
Paul, End Sergeant; W. D. Rowell, 3rd
Sergeant; D. W. Shealy, 4th Sergeant
c. F. Ellzey, 5th Sergeant; H. W: Adams,
Ouartermaster Sergeant; E. Y. Hoffman
1st Corporal; H. r. Pearlstine, 2nd Cor
poral; Z. Hutto, 3rd Corporal; B. W. Sim
mons, 4th Corporal H. Hutto, 5th Cor,
poral; J. NJ. Steedly, 9th Corporal. W:
G. Patrick was re-appointed Secretary and
Treasurer.
During the meeting the matter of uni
forms and other equipments and accoutre'
ments being worn and used as common
property was discussed, and it was decided
that steps be taken Immediately to stop
same.
Of late there has been more real inter
est shown in military matters than fol
some time past, and under the new regime
great things may be expected.
At eleven-thirty the meeting adjourned
until Tuesday, April 14th. ". g. P.

School Mass Meeting.

A mass meeting was held in the court
house Monday afternoon for the purpose
of discussing the question of issuing
| bonds for the erection of new graded
school building, there being some opposl'
| ton to voting ten thousand dollars for
this purpose Hon. y .C1ss|olk was made
! chairman. SevercSI6g speeches in
favor of the bunS-s1g were made, and
while Mai. E. r. Hays and Gen F. NJ.
Bamberg opposed spending ten thousand
dollars for i building, they were willing
to build house to cost less money. h.
S, Bowling, Jno. r. Bellinger, Jno. F.
Folk, H. c. Folk, and others spoke IN
favor of the dwelling, showing the needs
and necessities of the district in this
matter, and making strong arguments in
| favor of the erection of new and ade-
quate building.
1t appears that all are agreed as to the
necessity of a new building, and the only
difference Of opinion is as to the amount
necessary for this purpose. 1t is believed
that with the election of ajudicious build
ing committee, composed of sound busi-
ness men who will not spend one dollar
more than is absolutely necessary, all
cause for opposition will have vanished.
This building committee is to be com
posed of five members, and the meeting
made the following suggestions, from
which the five ean be chosen: Maj. E. K.
Hays, G. Frank Bamberg, Jno. H. Cope,
W. D. Rhoad, H. G. Folk, w. NJ. McCue,
H. J. Brabham, j. j. Simmons, G. +. Hair,
Jno. R. Bellinger.
The election is to be held tomorrow
friday, and We trust large majority of
the votes polled will be in favor of the
new building

City council held a regular monthly
meeting Tuesday afternoon. Aside from
the regular routine business, paying Of
bills, etc, the only matter Of importance
was the raising of the Mayors salary from
800 to $500 per year. This will take et-
feet for the new Mayor, to be elected on
Tuesday, May 5th. Major Hays will not
stand for reelection as Mayor.
The most earnest advocates of the new
graded school building do not want or
expect the money to be spent extravaga.:-
ly, and if it is found that a suitable hotrae
can be built and furnished for $4,000, only
that amount of bonds will he issued. All
this talk of having to issue ten thousand
dollars in bonds is mere bugaboo. A
reliable gentleman tells US he already has
a buyer for the bonds who will accept any
amount we issue, even if not more than
$4,000 so if the building committee de-
cides to erect a building for less than
$4,000, there will be no difficulty in float
ing the bonds Every man who wants to
see the town and community prosper
should 60 and vote for the bonds, for the
money is not going to be wasted.

Aberdeen, S. d., April 6.-President
Roosevelt to-day traversed South Dakota
and made more speeches than on any
other day during his present trip. He
began with two speeches at Sioux Falls
this morning, and ended his twelfth
speech this evening at Aberdeen. The
speeches were confined for the most part
TO the tariff and to the general pros
perity of the country. In all his speeches
to-day he followed closely the lines of
his former addresses on these subjects.
The President was accorded a cordial
welcome at the different stopping places,
and at many stations where the train did
not stop, the crowds gathered and
cheered as the special sped by. One fea-
ture OF the day was the large number
of children in the various audiences and
the President referred TO them several
times, saying that he was glad to see
that the stock was not dying out.

HoNoRs HER FALLEN SONS,
Indiana Dedicates twenty-five Monuments on
the Field of shiloh.

Shiloh Battlefield April 6.-Indiana
dedicated and presented to the government
TODAY the twenty-five monuments erect
ed at a cost of $25 900 in honor of the
twenty-five regiments that State had in
the battle of Shiloh. Two special trains
and fleet of passenger boats brought
six hundred people from Indianapolis this
morning. General Lew Wallace presided
at the dedicatory services. The monu-
uments were presented to the State by
Colonel James Wright, of the Indiana
Commission, which has had charge of
their erection. Governor w. t. Durbin
presented the monuments to the govern
mont and they were accepted by William
Carey Sanger, Assistant Secretary of
War
The Federal government in accepting
these monuments becomes charged with
hte duty of guarding them and keeping
fresh in the memory of the people re-
cord of the deeds which they commemo-
rate In creating and keeping these ma
tional parks, the country is not merely
perpetuating the fame of brave men, it
is not emphasizing the fact that a united
country thinks with pride of the valor
of all those heroes who fought in the
great struggle, but it is putting into
visible form of conviction of the peo-
pie that examples of brave and faithful
performance of duty should be ever hon
ored throughout our land. We should
never forget that the lessons of war are
but imperfectly learned if we think OF
them as only helping us to bear ourselves
bravely in the face of an armed enemy.
In times of peace there are battles to be
fought and victories TO be won the effort
of which upon the destination of mankind
are as far-reaching as the results of an
armed conflict. Honor, courage, integ-
rity devotion to principle, and the faith
full performance of duty are just as es-
sential to the greatness of free people
