to town Tuesday, being grown on the
plantations of Messrs. G. j. S. Brooker
and E. O. Kirsch. They were bought by

These were the first new bales of this
season.
Among the enjoyable social affairs Of
the week was a ''real' surprise party
given at the hospitable country home of
Capt. w. S. Bamberg Wednesday even
ing. The short ride through the bright
moonlight, and the genuine welcome ac-
corded the merry party of young folks
at the end of the drive, made the in
formal affair very pleasant one for all
concerned.

HANDSOME RECEPTION.
Mrs. j. W. Barnes Entertains Daugh.
ers Of the Revolution.

shown on Tuesday when a large
crowd of them went by buggies and
on the train to the elegant country
Mrs. j. W. Barnes fifteen miles dis
tant. to attend the regular monthly
meeting of the Chapter. Each mem
ber felt fully repaid for the trip after
genuine hospitality had been extended
by this charming host and hostess.
Upon arriving the guests were served
a delightful hot breakfast at 1O
O clock, after which the business ses-
sion was called to order by the Re-
gent, Miss Mary McMichael. After
reports from the officers, several i'm
portant committee reports were
heard. 1t was decided that the
September meeting which is to be a
relic meeting be made public meet
ing where anyone caring to see the
relics can come and enjoy silver

Hartzog then read one of the essays
written by member of the Graded
school class on Revised Traditions
of South Carolina" She also rem
dered very sweetly severalvocal selec-
tions. A fine sketch of the life of
Emily Geiger was read by Mrs.
Barnes. The Chapter was delight4
ed to have with them the Regent of
the Charlotte, N. c., Chapter, Mrs.
P. c. Brunson, who responded in a
very graceful way to the call upon
her for a talk. After the program
was over Mrs. Barnes introduced to
the ladies DR.. Patrick, of Bamberg,
who has in his possession much of
the personal property of the great
heroine Emily Geiger, and had kind
ly consented to come over from Bam-
berg and show them to the ladies.
Among them were, the shawl and
wedding veil, two beautiful NINA
lures of herself and Lafayette, her
wedding invitation, and many other
most interesting relics. DR.. Patrick
has the thanks of the Chapter, and
also the hostess for her thoughtful
ness and trouble in securing him.
AS the whole house was thrown
open to the guests they now scatter
ed through the house and beautiful
grounds, in social converse for an
hour, when they were invited into
the dining room where everything
was beautifully arranged for a most
elegant repast. The walls were hung
in flags and colors Of the Chapter,
and handsome pot plants and cut
flowers were placed in every nook
and corner. The tables which were
set for twenty-five were decorated in
white oleanders and red roses. At
each place were handsomely engraved
souvenirs, of the occasion, bearing
the name and insignia Of the Chapter
and the name of the host and host
ess.
Dinner in several courses was serv-
ed in beautiful style and each men,
Der voted that Mrs. Barnes have as
many meetings as she would care

Will Not Vote for Blease.

One of the candidates for the ex-
alted Office of governor of South Car
olina, who has tried to show why his
opponent should not be elected, has
declared in his own behalf that,
should the people of South Carolina
wish to know anything of him, they
might inquire of the ministers of
Newberry.
Yesterday the State received with
out solicitation, except by editorial
invitation, the following card, coming
without superscription to indicate
when or why the action of the minis
tiers was taken.
"Inasmuch as letters Of inquiry,
received from different sections Of the
State. reveal the fact that unwarrant-
ed differences as to the attitude of
the ministers of the town of New
berry are being drawn from certain
statements made publicly by Hon.
Cole L. Blease in his canvass for the
Office of governor, we deem it our du-
ty to say that we do not, directly or
indirectly, endorse his candidacy.

WHAT WILL WE DO?

The Bamberg Herald has had very
little to say about politics this year,
and we do not know that our readers
have lost anything thereby. We
would have preferred to pursue this
course to the end of the campaign,
for we think it high time that the
people of South Carolina quit squab-
bling so much over politics and turn
their attention to business matters.
If some Of us would devote as
much attention to our own affairs as

First Cotton Bale.

Clio, Aug. 6.-The first bale of
cotton of the 1908 crop to reach this
market and very probably the first
in the State was sold here to-day by
JEFF D. Edens, early King seed of Mr..
j. T. King being planted on March
IA. Mr.. Edens began picking in Ju-
ly, but on account of rain was unable
to finish his bale until the 5th. The
bale weighed 544 pounds and was
purchased by the E. Sternberger COM
pany at 1875 cents and was sent by
the afternoon express to Norfolk, Va.

The city council of Orangeburg has
levied a tax of 157s mills on the
property in that city for the coming
year. Orangeburg has water works
and sewerage, and several other
things which Bamberg has not, but
the tax here has been only six mills

I'VE are not advocating higher taxes
at all, but only pointing out the taxes

many public. improvements.

There are rumors all over the State
that the whiskey element is making
desperate effort to control the elec-
Hon this year, and that money is not
lacking in the work. We hope it is
not true, but the voters should be on
their guard. Do not cast your ballot
ssfor any man who sympathizes with
the grafters. That is the only safe
course.

INSULTED GIRL; Is LYNCHED
Bad Negro at Tifton, Ga, Quietl!
Put to Death.

Atlanta, Ca, August "a special
to the Constitution from Triton, Ca,
says:
Charlie Lokie, a negro boy, about
IS years of age, was lynched here at
an early hour to-day for making
insulting remarks to a prominent
young white woman of this place.
The lynching was very quiet one.
The negro was a desperate charac-
ter, and had been under the eyes of
the people here for some time.
No excitement was raised over
the lynching. Several hundred ne
groes and white people were out
viewing the corpse during the day.

We do to electing some fellow to
little office, we would have a grea
deal more money.
But we think it we'll to make some
reference to the gubernatorial race
in this State. There are two cand1
dates. One is seeking reelection
having been elected two years age
over one of the very best men in the
State, and the other is a candidate
who has been running for lieutenan1
governor and then governor for sew
eral years, and always unsuccessfully
Governor Ansel has made a gooo
governor. He has not conducted his
office in manner to win the applause
of an unthinking few, but he has beer
firm while courteous, and candol
compels the statement that he has
made fewer mistakes in the office
than any governor we have had foi
wears. True he has had backbone
and has done his duty faithfully and
honestly and as becomes Christian
gentleman and citizen, always with
the fear of God before his eyes. If
there is any compromise in his utter
ances on the stump, there is none
when it comes to his duty as govern
or. Life, liberty, and property have
been safe under his administration
of the affairs of the State, and while
we have not always agreed with him,
we have had respect for his honesty
and courage. He is making the race
for reelection on sound and sensl-
BILE platform, and we believe the vo-
ters will endorse him.
His opponent is making the race
not on any merits Of his own as we
see it, but solely on the fact that the
Ansel administration has been ex-
This newspaper has al
ways stood for economy in public af-
fairs, and we criticised the legisla-
ture rather severely last winter and
the winter before for it's extravagant
appropriations. But we didn't blame
Governor Ansel, because he did not
make the appropriations and was not
responsible. Mr.. Blease is decidedly
more responsible for the extrava-
gance than Governor Ansel, for he
was a member of the Senate. If he
was such popular man in that body,
it seems that his opposition to the ap-
he now claims were use
less would have had the effect of
striking them out of the appropria-
ton bill. Where was his influence
that it was not exerted to "save the
State?"

think the people of South Carolina
will decline to endorse man who has
been faithful to their interests, AMI
we hope to see Bamberg county roll
up a good majority for him.
