We cannot for the life of US see any
insult in asking man for money ne
owes you, yet some people get very mad
when the newspaper man asks them Tor
what they owe him. This sort OF touchy
spirit makes US tired.
The price of cotton has gone down con-
siderably since the government report
came out last Saturday. People who
have been holding their cotton will con-
tinue to hold, as it is believed the price

WHY is it that the county board of con-
troll for Bamberg county never ad7er-
tises when it will hold an election for
county dispensers? The law requires that
these elections shall be advertised IN the
newspapers, and yet in this county the
board holds elections and nobody ever
knows anything about it.
CT. Rizer sells horses and mules suit
ed to the needs of the people, and If you
want to be suited right down to the ground

A negro named Nix was caught in the
shafting of the Denmark oil mill last Sat-
urday morning and instantly killed. DE
carelessly turned his back to the SHAFT
and got too close, it catching his clothes
and whirling him around at rapid rate.
His body struck line of conveyer. tear,
ing it down, and when the machinery was
slowed down and his body fell loose from
the shaft, he was dead. His arms and
legs were broken and there were other
injuries on his body. Nix was an EN-
ployee of the mill. Coroner Besinger
held the inquest.

Col. Jno. F. Folk has perfected arrange
ments by which the Peruchi-Gypzene
company will be seen at the opera house
here Tuesday evening, December Goth.
This company has sixteen people IN the
cast, and have been playing at Greenville,
Newberry, and Columbia. They have re-
ceived good business and it is no doubt
a fine attraction. Seats will be put on
sale in few days, and you should get
them early, as this will probably be one
of the verv best shows seen mere this sea-
son. 1t must be away above the average
in order to play in cities like Columbia
and Greenville. The company will come
to Bamberg direct from two-nlghts en-
gagement in Columbia.

H.S. Bowling, Esq, will move his fam
ily to Macon, Ca, next week, where they
will make their home for the present.
MI. Dowling is now travelling salesman
for the Toledo computing scales, and he
moves to Macon in order to be more CEN
trally located, as he travels Georgia terri
tory. 1t is possible that he may not leave
Bamberg for good, as he still retains prop
erty interests here. He did not feel like
cutting loose entirely from the home of
his boyhood, and his departure is entirely
for business reasons. Mr.. Bowling was
born and reared near this town, and as
a member of the Bamberg bar he was very
successful in his profession. 1t is not
probable that he will forsake the law en-
tirely, and we have no doubt but that he
will return to his first love in a few years.
We regret to have him 60. He has been
member of the house OF representatives
from this county, and has always been
ready to support every movement or en-
terprise to benefit the town and comm1-
nifty. Success to him wherever he goes.
