& It is not our purpose to find fault
with the citizens of Bamberg, but
We hope they will take a ivelier in
terest in the Carlisle Fitting School
the coming year than ever before.
Talk up the school and thereby ad-
vertise it as never before. Adver-
itising always pays, and the best ad-
vertising for this institution can be
done by the people of Bamberg. A
larger success for the Fitting School
will be of material benefit to every
interest in Bamberg-it pays in dol
lars and cents to have this institu-
ton located here-and we who re-
ceive the benefits should, from the
standpoint of self-interest alone, do
all in our power to bring about great
er development. There is no reason
why the attendance should not be
doubled the coming year, and it can
be done, but the people of Bamberg
must do what we conceive to be their
part.

Far be it from us to be uncharit;
able, but to say that were disappoint-
ed in the speeches of the candidates
for the United States Senate here last
Saturday is putting it mildly. Most
OF them were the utterances of dem
agogues, being largely appeals to
class prejudice. "Plutocrats" seemed
TO be favorite term with many OF
the speakers, and Mr.. Rhett was the
only man who had no criticism to
make of any of the others in the race
while all or most of them criticised
him. Judging from this they must
think he is the man they have to
beat The campaign will shed little
light on national issues.

81 The Sumter Herald gives the in
formation that in 1901, before Lee
county was formed, Mr.. E. D. Smith,
now candidate for the United States
Senate, failed to carry his home coun-
sty. After Lee county was formed
from Sumter, Mr.. Smith being in the
new county, ran for the legislature
and was defeated. Truly it can be
said in his case that he does not seem
popular with his home people. The
Herald does not favor Mr.. Smith for
the Senate, even if he is originally
from Sumter, and is frank to say so.
We commend it's manliness. .

HEYWARD AT BLOWING ROCK.
Able to Leave the Hospital in Phil
~ - adelphia.

Columbia, July 30.-Ex-Governor
D. C. Hayward is now at Blowing
Rock, N. c., where his family have
been for some weeks. The first let
ter that any of his friends have re-
ceived from Governor Hayward since
his illness was received yesterday and
he states that while he is able to leave
the hospital in Philadelphia, he is
yet far from well, and it will be the
middle Of September before he re-
turns to Columbia and resumes his
business.
The physicians state, however, that
with another month or six weeks OF
complete rest, Governor Heyward
will probably be in better health than
for the last two years. This encour-
aging news will be received with
much pleasure by the thousands OF
friends of the former governor in all
portions of the state, where he is so
generally admired and beloved.

Weatherford, Tex, July 3O.-For-
mer Governor S. w. Lanham, of this
state, died at his home here last night
after an illness of several weeks, aged
62 years.
Governor Lanham was a native
of Spartanburg, S. c., and served dur
ing the civil war as member OF the
Third South Carolina regiment. He
removed to Texas in 1856 and was
elected amember of congress in 1888,

rotation in Office. Patterson said he
could not get recognition from the
speaker of the house, but If he was
elected all the Joe Cannons in the
country couldn't keep him from
speaking. Was opposed to govern
ment by Injunction. Wanted a stand
ard classification for cotton. Rail-
roads should charge the same passen-
ger rates to everybody. Did not want
the office if he was not the best man.
Tariff was what keeps the country
down. European products could not
compete with American products be-
cause of tariff.
J. D. PATTERSON.
Mr.. Patterson felt that he was in
the house of friends. Bamberg had
voted for him before, and he heartily
appreciated it. Criticism of Mr..
Smith as to his record could be equal
ly well applied to any member of con-
gress. With the large Republican
majority there, one had to Jrk hard
for what he got. Had brought thous-
ands of dollars to South Carolina by
getting pensions for deserving people.
Had doubled the rural routes of the
district. Had obtained authority for
full rural system for this county,
but had not been able to obtain a
map. Hoped people would interest
themselves and see that this map was
procured, so Bamberg could get full
benefits of rural service. Had OBJ
tanned appropriation of 100000 for
public building in Aiken, and hoped
to get a public building for
Bamberg. Would fight to get it.
Wanted government aid for good
roads and drainage, and had done
much work along these lines which
he hoped would bear fruit. Mr.. Pat
terson was we'll received.
J. E. DAVIS.
Jas. E. Davis, of Barnwell, the
present incumbent in the Solicitor e
Office, again asked for the support OF
the voters of this county, and told
of his record in the Office. He replied
to the charges Of Mr.. Byrnes, and
told some jokes. Told of his being
selected to represent the State in the
important bond case, where he Sc
cured convictions. Byrnes said he
should be defeated because he had
missed four out of nine courts in Al
ken, but he would make better 80
licitor than Brynes if he had missed
nine out of nine.
J. F. BYRNES.
Jas. F. Byrnes, of Aiken, now
court stenographer, attacked the rec
ord Of Mr.. Davis in the Office and told
Of his qualifications. He told some
Jokes which seemed to please the
crowd. Mr.. Byrnes is good speak
er.
H. NJ. GRAHAM.
H. M. Graham, of Bamberg, dis
cussed the qualifications for the Of
flee in an intelligent way. Mr.. Byr-
mes was good court stenographer
and recommended that he be retain
ed. Mr.. Graham was at home, and
naturally his remarks took well with
the crowd. He is said to be making
a winning campaign for this Office, as
Messrs Davis and Byrnes spend most
of their time paying each other left
handed compliments. This closed the
meeting.

By the time the keepers entered

The only way that the keepers were

Gave the Wrong Medicine.

Barnwell, July 29.-What came
near being a fatal mistake was made
at the home of Mr.. H. G. Hay, near
Lindhurst, in this county, on Monday
night. Mr.. Hays little daughter, St.
Claire, was not feeling well and her
mother gave her a dose of medicine
about 10 O'Clock. 1t was Immediate
ly seen that the medicine was not
what it was thought to be and that
the child was suffering serious i'll ef-
fects from it. Mr.. and Mrs. Hay
then tasted the medicine to ascertain
what they had given the child. And
in this way they also were slightly
affected. DR.. w. S. Havenor was i'm
mediately summoned and DR.. R. G.
Kirkland of Barnwell was also sent
for: When the physicians arrived
they saw the little girl was suffering
from severe case of atropine and
cocaine poisoning. They treated the
parents and worked vigorously with
the little girl all day Tuesday. Late
that afternoon their treatment won
out and they pronounced their pa
tient out of danger. Mr.. and Mrs.
poison they had taken and partially
from the severe shock they had re-
ceived.
The mistake was purely one of ac-
cident and was brought about in the
following manner: Mrs. Hay suffers
from asthma A few days previous
Mr.. Hay had bought her little of
asthma cure and in opening it the
neck of the bottle was broken off.
Mr. Hay then poured the asthma cure
in a Castoria bottle. When Mrs. Hay
got up to give her daughter medicine,
on Monday night she wanted to give
her dose of Castoria and picked up
the bottle in which the asthma cure
had been poured and gave teaspoon
; full without examining it. When they
saw the effects Of the medicine they
tasted it and found out their mistake.
