Pleasant Occasion.

Last Thursday A. w. Knight en-
tertained a number of friends at the
Gum Log club house on the Edisto
river with a fish fry, complimentary
to his friend, Mr.. T. A. Ratliffe, OF
Anderson. It was a typical Edisto
fry, and the day was most pleasantly
spent. The arrangements Of the
affair were entirely in the hands OF
Mr.. C. C.. Rowell, and he is certainly
good one. Assisted by Mr.. Noel
Padgett and J. A. Nimmons, our po-
lite and accommodating barber,
everything that could be done for the
comfort or pleasure of the guests
was looked after, and the stews and
fries were as fine as could be: Those
present were: Messrs. Jas. E. Sal
ley, G. Frank Bamberg, J. w. Stokes,
C. c.. Rowell, R. NJ. Hays, of Green
wood, Jno. Cooner, G. J. s. Brooker,

While the Anderson and Prosperi-
ty visitors nobly sustained the pres
tige of the up-country in regard to
slowing away prodigious quantities
of the stew and fry, it was thought
that it would not do for the belt to
leave Bamberg, and DR.. V. w. Brab-
ham seemed to have the advantage
by unanimous consent.

STEPHEN LEE DEAD.
Commander of United Confederate
Veterans Passes Away.


Vicksburg, Miss, May 2S.-General
Stephen D. Lee, commander-ln-cnle1
of the United Confederate veterans
and the last general of the Confeder-
acy, died here this morning after an
illness of seven days. General Lee
was taken i'll on May 21, after a hard
days task in making speeches and
welcoming the Iowa and Wisconsin
reunion of veterans, Grand army OF
the Republic at the National PARK
here. He suffered a collapse and his
son, Blewett Lee, general counsel fol-
the Illinois Central, was summoned
from Chicago.
Ex-Lieutenant Governor. James
Harrison and his sister, relatives OF
the general, were at his bedside.
Gen. Lee was rs years Of age.
Lieutenant General W. L. Cabell,
of Dallas, Texas, is senior among the
division commanders, of the Confed-
crate veterans, the others being Gen
eral Irvine Walker, Of South Caro-
lima, and General Clement A. Evans,
of Georgia General Cabell is next
in line for commander in chief.
Gen. Stephen D. Lee was the last
surviving lieutenant general OF the
Confederacy Veterans association.
He was one of the most interesting
men In semi-public life in the coun-
try and owing to the ties that bound
him to the South, as well as to his
personality, he was easily the most
popular man in the association.
Although q soldier, the great
grandson and grandson Of soldier,
he spent his life quietly as a planter
at Columbus, Miss, and as presi-
dent of the Mississippi Agricul-
tural and Mechanical college. Since
the close Of the war he worked con-
stantly to build up the waste places
of the South. He rarely accepted
political Office.
General Lee held that the memory
of the Confederate soldier was a pc
culiar trust committed to the living
Confederate soldiers.

Editor The Bamberg Herald: At the
call for those citizens who were in favor
of prohibition to meet at the court house
on Monday, it was decided to issue q
call for the prohibitionists of each
precinct or club to select representatives
to meet at the court house on Wednes-
day, the 18th day of June, there to de-
eide upon plan Of campaign for electing

was believed that those who favor pro
hibition are in the majority in this
county. Therefore, let every one inter-
ested come out and make the fight to
save the young men of this fair county
from the evils of strong drink.
Don't forget the day, and get each
club in line for that meeting.
Very truly, J. D. FIELDER,

,Coneressman Patterson.

CONGRESSMAN ]. o. Patterson made
a good speech in congress Tuesday OF
last week on the subject of drainage
and road improvement. Mr.. Patter-
son realizes the Importance OF these
matters to his constituents of the
second district, and he is endeavoring
to have the government take up the
subject in earnest. We have not the
space for synopsis of his speech,
but it was strong and timely.
He showed the great good which
would come out of better system
of drainage for the low country In
this State, especially in the eradica-
ton OF the mosquito and consequent
improved health conditions; while on
the good roads question he presented
the strongest sort of arguments why
the roads of the country should be
improved by federal aid. 1t Is to
be hoped that his earnest efforts will
induce action by the national govern
menf.

A Mail Order Wife.

Among the visitors to Manning
last Friday were a bride and groom
from Summerton, Mr.. and Mrs. A. c.
Cobia. They attracted unusual atten-
ton because it was reported that Mr..
Cobia had ordered a wife from Sears,
Roebuck & Co., Chicago, and OF
course it was natural for the curl
osity of the people to get aroused,
but while it is true Mr.. Cobia secured
his wife through an advertising medi-
um, it is not true that he got her
from Sears, .Roebuck & Co. The
bride is a Tennessean, comely in ap-
pearance, blonde, and has every in
dication of being in robust health
We are told she was q Miss Mason

Handsome Riding Bride.

A few days ago we had the priv
lege Of seeing the handsomest riding
bride we ever looked at. It is made
of horse hair, different colors, and
was made by q convict in the Mon
tana penitentiary, who is serving q
life sentence for murder. He sent
the bride here to Mr.. L. w. Werner
to sell for him, in order to raise some
money to get his case before the
pardoning board. The price asked
for the bride is $500, and $500
has already been offered for it. We
cannot describe it, but it is certainly
the handsomest thing we ever saw IL
the shape of a bride, being all hand
made.
