the County and Elsewhere.
Ehrhardt Etchings.

EHRHARDT, September 12.-Col. John
F. Folk spent one night in our town last
week on his way to see his relatives in
Colleton and Hampton counties. Return
ed Sunday afternoon.
Miss FRANKIE Folke, of Bamberg, is
spending a few days with relatives in
town.
Mr. John Frank Chassereau and Miss
Marye Murdaugh were married at the
Lutheran parsonage Sunday morning by
Rev. P. E. Monroe.
Mrs. E. P. Copeland has given her mil
linery establishment over to Miss Ella
Blair, of Virginia. She is getting ready
to fit up hats, etc., in dainty and pretty
shapes for her many customers.
Ehrhardt graded school did not open
on time last week. Some hitch in getting
the principal is the cause. The trustees
ars hustling to get the school going as
early as possible.
The farmers of this section are stirred
up on the subject Of cotton picking. Quite
a number of them have concluded upon
the actions of their hands to only give 40
cents per hundred pounds for picking
cotton. The before day clubs, OF dark
les have concluded not to pick for that
price nor to let any of their color pick fol-
that price. This has caused the trouble.
On Saturday night an honest old colored
man on Alex. C. Carter's place, commonly
known as portion of the old Charles +:
Carter plantation, near the line OF Bam.
berg and Colleton counties, warned
Abram Smoak, who was willing to pick
at 40 cents and had been picking at that
price, was picked out to be waited on
Saturday night with the strap by the CLUB.
Some members of the club went to
Abrams house early in the night to per-
form the Job, but Abram was away from
home and it seems did not return Satur-
day night. So it is thought the second
time they went to Abrams house they
set it on fire with Abrams family in it.
Fortunately they awoke and tried to put
out the flames but could not. Some OF
his household goods were saved and some
burnt. The white folks followed tracks
to and from the burnt house, and on Sun
day afternoon two darkies were placed
under arrest, by name Milford Green and
his son-in- n-law, L. T. Thompson. The
latter is darkey that few years since
came in this section from Orangeburg,
where it is said he left wife and chill
dren. If the evidence is against them
they will fare tough.
The farmers are glad to have these few
days of fair weather, and have been max
ing good use of it from the way cotton
has been coming to the various gins.
Mr.. Carey NJ. Bishop and family, OF
Fairfax, are visiting his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. G.. l.. Bishop. Glad to see you, Carey.

Confines and Takes a Day OF.
Nearly everybody in Bamberg, regard
less of race, color or previous condition Of
servitude, had holiday during the summer
season, and thinking that days respite
from the humdrum of the printing office
would revive that tired feeling" I grasp
ed the opportunity so kindly offered last

was in charge of Capt. Davis, one of the
most popular and accommodating con-
ductors in the Southern railways service,
and in a short while landed at the bust.
ling little city of Blackville, and was soon
receiving the cordial hand.shakes of the
many acquaintance I had made on my
previous visits.
Blackville presents a busy appearance
at this season of the year. The streets
are daily crowded with wagons from the
country, loaded with cotton and other
country produce, for which they realize
good prices. The stores are well-stocked
with goods, which are attractively dis
played, and the clerks are polite and &C
commodating while serving those in
search of fall bargains. Being surrounded
by fine agricultural country, Blackville
is one of the best cotton markets between
Augusta and Charleston, and the cotton
receipts this season promise to be greater
than for any previous season in the his
tory of the town.
An hour was pleasantly spent in the
elegant drug store of DR.. R. B. Fickling
who is not only an expert "pill-mixer," but
is most sociable and courteous gentle
/ man. he is q writer of some ability, and
has kindly promised to furnishThe Herald
with the weekly happenings in and
around the town, which we are sure will
be interesting to our readers.

ped to face the stern realities that beset
life's pathway. The school is presided
over by Prof. Birdsong, who. with an able
corps of assistants, are untiring in their
efforts to ''teach the young idea how to
shoot" From all appearances, Blackville
seems to be enjoying a season of prosper
ity and it goes without saying that the
town has bright future.
Of course the bulk of the travelling
public do not fail to stop at the Rush
House. Col. Rush, the genial proprietor,
extends hearty welcome to his guests,
and with his twinkling eyes and witty
sayings make everyone feel at home. The
table is supplied with the best the market
affords, which is prepared and served in
the best style. Really the entire sur
roundings present an air of a model home
rather than that of public hostelry.
The Herald's cause was presented and
met with most liberal response, which
shows that Blackville's business men are
of the proper calibre. 81. G. BAILEY.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con,
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be des-
troyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Oatarrh, which is moth
ing but an Inflamed condition of the
