Didn't Mean to Abuse Senate.

Gaffney, August 23.-Solicitor
Otis said to-day that he did not mean
to say that the South Carolina senate
had been bought, but that at the
time he made the statement he had
not read the report of Tillman's
speech at Richburg, and that when
he said: "I would not be surprised
if Tillman was right" he had refer
ence to the difficulty with which any
legislation was gotten through the
senate that was in opposition to the
railroads of the State. Mr.. Otis
further said that he had no idea
that his remarks would be published,
although he did not ask the corre-
spondent not to quote him.
He says that he has a number of
warm personal friends among the
senators whom he knows to be men
of the highest integrity, and that it is
absurd to talk about these men hav-
ing been bought, or that they are
venal.

Demand Better Service.

At the instance of number Of
citizens, Mayor ]. A. Wyman and the
editor of The Herald, last week pre-
pared a petition to the Southern rail-
way authorities, asking that tele-
phones be installed at the passenger
and freight depots and that the wait
ing rooms and other railroad prop
erty be adequately lighted, preferably
with electric lights.
This petition was circulated among
our business men for signatures by
Mr.. C. F. Ellzey, and every business
man in the city who was approached
signed the petition. This petition
has been forwarded to Mr.. H. L. Hun
gerford, superintendent of the Char
lesion division, and with 1t personal
letter from Mayor Wyman. 1t is
hoped that action will be taken by
the railway authorities upon this
matter at once, and if not the rail-
road commission will be appealed to-,
as the people of Bamberg are deter
mined to require better service from
the railroad. The freight and pas
senger business at this point is grow
ing, the receipts this year being
much larger than ever before. In
fact the increase in business has been
something remarkable, and it is only
just that the railroad company
should give Bamberg service COM
mensurate with the business done.
This we expect-no more, no less
and this the business interests of
Bamberg will demand.

Fall Advertising.

Cotton is, beginning to come to
market and with the sale at a good
price the farmers of this section will
be in position to do considerable buy
ing this fall. No doubt the people Of
Bamberg county are in better fnan-
cial shape this year than ever be-
fore, as the lien law repeal is to 60
into effect the first Of next January
and they were getting ready for the
change. The merchant who adver-
tises is the man who will get the
trade, and The Bamberg Herald COW
ers Bamberg county thoroughly, also
having numbers of subscribers in ad-
joining counties. Our circulation is
strictly paid-in-advance, and is there
fore worth a great deal more to the
advertisers than newspaper which
is sent on credit. Circulation books
open to any prospective advertiser,
and rates very reasonable, consider
ing the service rendered. Now is the
time to start your fall advertising
campaign.

Fine Cotton.

Mr.. J. J. Simmons, who lives about
two miles from Bamberg, and who is
one of the most up-to-date and pro-
gressive farmers in the State, has
seven acres of cotton this year which
competent judges say will yield at
least fourteen bales, this being two
bales to the acre. Last year, notwith-
standing the poor crop conditions,
generally, Mr.. Simmons made, on
this seven acres, twelve bales of cot
ton, and the crop this year is so much
better than last, it is confidently es-
timated that he will make not less
than fourteen bales on the seven
acres. Mr.. Simmons uses the pure
Toole seed, his entire farm being
planted with this variety. This is
the right way to farm, and If more
of our farmers would follow Mr.. Sim
example as to smaller acreage
and larger yield our county would
be immeasurably better off.
