The recent opinion of Attorney

The recent opinion of Attorney
General Guion given to the insur-
ance department and made public
by that department, looks as if it
is going to have the effect of put
ting a number of the colored
burial and charitable institutions
out of business. The opinion of
the attorney general is to the eff
feet that the recent act of the legis-
lature requires those burial assoc
Citations and those organizations
that furnish funerals and give
cash benefits to be properly or
ganized as insurance companies
and must comply with the insur-
ance laws of the State. This
means that these burial organiza-
tons must deposit with the State
treasurer between one and five
thousand dollars, and must reor-
ganize.

peculiar comedian, W. B. Patton:
"Mr. Patton's press agent bills
him as another Sol Smith Russell F.;
but he might just as well bill him
as himself and no other, for Patton
is an original. He has PERSONAL
ity that attracts and holds the
audience every minute he is on
the stage. He is just like himself
and furnishes a comparison for
the best of the quaint comedians.
He is yet a young man and
certainly has a bright future. He
is the author of the play he is now

The County Fair.

The Delaware County Fair Asso-
citation has been under pretty hot
fire Of criticism of late from both
country and townspeople. The late
exhibition appears to have been
success financially, but the exhibits
were far below what they should
have been. This is accounted for
because the association was unable
last year to pay its premiums and
the exhibitors seemed to have boy
cotted the fair this year. There is
always contention over the proper
way to conduct the fair, the matter
has been in dispute for years.
There is an element that holds for
wide-open exhibition with nothing
barred, and there is more conserv-
alive element which holds out for
purely agricultural fair with expen-
sive races and sideshows cut out.
Some counties apparently make a
great success of their fairs by pay
ing little attention to exhibits and
putting great stress and expense on
attractions; other counties put their
money into premiums and make the
circus feature a secondary matter.
That there is difference in senti-
lnent in various localities will be
admitted. We have been of the
opinion for years that the people of
Delaware, county want a purely agri-
cultural fair, one in which the ex.
hibits of stock and farm products
would be the feature. We believe
such q fair could be successfully
promated in this county and event.
ually prove great success. The
farmers should have leading par,
in its organization and direction,
with business men for officers who
are experienced and in sympathy
with the farmers interests. The
stock and breeding interests in this
county alone are sufficient to make
a splendid display and competition
if the breeders could be interested
in such a fair. 1t would pay big
returns, too, for it would have ten.
dency to elevate the breeding and
advertise the excellence of this at
the center Of thoroughbred strains
This paper is not going to criticist
the officers of the association during
the past years. The writer has beer
familiar with the obstacles which
have confronted them, the compe
= tition for control, and the factions
which have been at cross-purposel
in the direction Of the fair. It is ,
thankless job to fill the office O
president and secretary, for the en-
tire responsibility is thrown upol
their shoulders. The farmer direc
tors have been Indifferent, as vel
as others. What is needed now i

Sunday Selling Illegal.

Attorney General Lyon has writ
ten the dispenser at Walterboro as
to selling whiskey on Sunday on pre-
scription of physicians. He advises
that the law prohibits the sale of
whiskey on Sundays and legal ho!i-
days, and there is no exception in
any case. The Bamberg county board
passed a resolution that whiskey
would be furnished on physicians,
prescriptions on Sunday, provided
the physician stated that he was in
actual attendance on the patient and
that the whiskey was absolutely ne
cessary. Uner the attorney generals s
construction this is illegal and will
have to be discontinued. The law
makes absolutely no provision Tor
getting whiskey on Sunday, no mat
ter what the need may be.

CoIored Folks Celebrate.

The colored people of Bamberg
observed the 4th of July in becom-
ing manner. A joint celebration of
the Methodist and Baptist Sunday
schools was held at the Baptist,
church. The program consisted of
music, patriotic songs, debate, the
subject discussed being who was the
greatest man, Washington or Lin
coin, recitations, etc. A picnic was
held on the grounds, and in the af-
ternoon. there was game of base
ball, and they didn't fight or row
over the game either. The day pass
ed off quietly, and the affair was a
most creditable and successful one.
We are glad to note this disposition
on the part of our colored people:
It was a most appropriate way OF
celebrating the day.

The High School Question.

It appears from the construction OF
the new high school law that Den.
mark cannot establish a high school
unless another election is held. The
law provides that an Incorporated
town of less than 1000 inhabitants
cannot establish a high school if the
school district extends beyond the
corporate limits of the town, unless
two districts combine. So it seems
that Denmark and some other district
will have to combine in order to OBJ
tain the appropriation. 1t seems a
pity that the law was not made plain
in the first instance, as now several
districts in this county will have to
hold new elections.

Rowdy Soldiers.

Last Friday morning special train
passed through Bamberg conveying a

Charleston, where they are to have
an encampment on Sullivan's Island.
AS the train passed the depot here
the soldiers amused tn EN- selves
throwing rocks, railroad spikes, and
other missiles at people who happen
ed to be standing near the track. Cary
Brabham, the negro porter at John
sons Hotel, was struck in the face,
near the eye, by a railroad spike, and
a very painful wound was inflicted.
Cary says he thought he was shot at
first. The train did not stop here.

Dispensary Statement.

: In another column will be found the
quarterly statement of the dispen
saries in this county. This state
ment shows that the profits for the
quarter were S3,841.77, of which
amount the county gets 81 $3.50,
the towns the same amount, while
the schools gets S768.3. The ex-
pense account for the quart er
amounts to So, ,618.96, which is heavier
than it will be later on. Starting
off the new system costs more than
it will after it gets to running
smoothly. The showing made will
compare favorably with any of the
other counties.
