Guess, of Denmark, was in the city last Thursday. ?Mrs. H. F. Spann.of Florida, arrived Sunday on a visit to relatives here. ?Capt. W. E.Sease, of the Ehrhardt section, was in town last Thursday. ?Mr. P. N. Spann and family, of Florida, are visiting relatives in Bamberg. ?Mr. G. W. Miley, of the Farrell's Store section, was iu the city last Friday. ?Mrs. Nettie Ligou, of Branchville, spent last Thursday and Friday in the city. ?Mr. John B. Smith, of Smoaks, was in the city Tuesday, and paid us a very pleasant call. m- n TT-.nto of Denmark, was in the city last Thursday, and paid us a pleasant call. Mr. V. J. Kartzog lias taken a position at Dr. Black's. The Aerial Quartette is the next attraction of the Bamberg Lyceum. The date ^ will be announced soon. Smallpox is prevalent in several sections of the South, and our people should take all the precautious possible. Remember the meeting of the Bamberg county monumental association in the court house on Wednesday, the 2(>th instant. Numbers of our subscribers have paid up recently. There are still others who should remember that the newspaper man needs his money. The editor was the recipient a few days ago of some very tine turnips, from Mrs. i J. M. Jeunings. One of them measured twenty inches around. It is stated in the Washington dispatches to the daily papers that President Roosevelt will appoint W. C. Crum, a negro, as collector of the port in Charleston. Burglars blew open the safe of Bull & Taylor at Cameron in Orangeburg county last Friday night and secured about $1,000. It was evidently the work of professionals. > Governor McSweeney has issued a proclamation designating Thursday, November 27th, as Thanksgiving Day. We suppose all the stores in town will he closed that day and that there will be services at the churches. The News and Courier now gets to Bamberg at nine o'clock each morning, being the first South Carolina daily to reach us. This enterprise on the part of " that paper is much appreciated by its subscribers here. The town of Bamberg should hire about a dozen convicts from the State peniteutiary and put them to work building new 1 roads and improving others. It would be : money well spent, and would benefit both the town and surrounding country. Don't forget that the Masonic picnic at Lodge takes place on Saturday, the 22d , instant. Governor-elect D. C. Heyward, of Walterboro. will be present and make ( a public address on Masonry. The editor ? returns thanks for a special invitation to be present. { The chain gang is still at work on the t new Midway road, and some extra good ] P work is being done. This will be a very ( fine hard road, one of the very best high- i ways in the county. It will be some time before the road is" finally completed, but i 5^ , it will certainly be a good one. < Mr. Oscar Simmons showed us Tuesday something of a curiosity. It was a piece * of flexible stone, which he procured in North Carolina last summer while at ' Piedmont Springs. The rock can be bent < to some extent, and fully deserves the } name of flexible stone. We never saw a i piece of it before. J - R. L. Berry & Co., of Orangeburg, issued last week a periodical entitled "Enterprising Orangeburg," designed to be an advertisement of the resources of the I town and showing its growth and pro- c gress for several years past. Orangeburg t is indeed a live and growing city, and the t write up is none too good for her. \ The Boston Stars, a concert company, ( gave a good entertainment at the Fitting School last Thursday evening, but the * show was poorly patronized. The Lyceum ? here contracts with these companies t merely to furnish some diversion for our ( people, but if they are not more successful, the course of attractions will be discon- I tinued. The Home Missions Society of the * Methodist church will meet next Tuesday . afternoon at three o'clock with Mrs. M. 1 t W. Hook. The society is getting up a Thanksgiving box for the children at the j Epworth Orphanage, and each member is expected to bring two garments to the meeting. All Methodist are also asked to j contribute. | - An attempt was made by burglars to j rob the safe of the county treasurer iu Florence last Suudaj' night. The safe j was damaged considerably^but something t most have frightened them away, for a ^ lot of burglar's tools were left on the floor by the safe. Had they succeeded in open- i ing the safe they would have found no money, as the treasurer deposits all the < money collected each day in the bank. ^ Bamberg lodge, Knights of Pythias, held a regular convention last Monday r evening, at which the rank of Esquire r was conferred upon Mr. A. W. Eckel. I There is no doubt but that this occasion will be long remembered by him. The ] rank of Knight is to be conferred at the t next meeting, Monday evening, the 24th instant. The brethren will please remember that the hour for the meeting is seven o'clock. The State and Federal Election Com- ] missioners met here Tuesday to canvass * the vote of the recent general election. " Only 533 votes were polled, about fifty 9 per cent less than the vote in the Demo- j cratic primary. The Republican candidate for congress received very few votes, j not enough to amount to anything. In * - ? -1 : 1 Ill tne iace 01 sucu a poor snowing m- ?>?u hardly make a contest, as the negroes did t not offer to vote even. j Lovett's Boston Stars. j This company gave an entertainment i here last week which was fully worth the 1 admission. Miss Harvey as reciter, Miss f Bickford as soprano. Miss Maj*o as violin- 1 ist, and Mr. Reynolds as humorist were i all artists in their line, and the audience f showed its appreciation of their efforts s by liberal applause and frequent encores. Miss Harvey's rendition of Eugene Field's little poem in which she described the whistling of the wind was an exceptionally fine piece of work. The local Lyceum is endeavoring to give our people nothing 1 but first class attractions, and it is hoped 1 appreciation of their efforts will hereafter ? be shown by a more liberal patronage. ' Bamberg Guards inspected. 1 The Bamberg Guards underwent the 1 annual inspection last Friday evening. Maj. Chas. II. Newnham, of Columbia, was the inspecting officer, he representing the Adjutant General. The inspection * was held at eight o'clock in the armory, aud fifty men were in line, the company 1 making a good showing, ('apt. W. 11. 1 Wright commanded the company, assisted by Lieuts. Dowliug and Barton. The in- i spection was held under disadvantages. A heavy rain was falling, and on account ' fjf )apk of room ip the hall no field movewepts were pseputpd. flie gpns and ' equipment of the men were rigidly in- ' ppflcted, after which C'apt. Wriglit drilled the company in the manual of arms, loading, firing, pip. Maj. Newnham was well j pleased with the showing mndp by the 1 Guards. The celebrated Molineux murder trial ' x-came to an end in New ^ork Tuesday. ' The jury delil>erated but thirteen minutes and returned a verdict of not guilty. 1 Molineux was charged with poisoning a < Mrs- Adams, and had peep once condemn- < ed to death. This was his second trial, and j he had spent four years in prison. I < nC.y U -" ->t I | New Advertisements. O. KKANK KAMIlKKC. I I Sit the new ml.

Electricity is a salient feature of the beauty of the Robinson mighty Midway engaged by the Elks of Augusta, and the effects of the lighting and illumination are indescribably beautiful at night. The front of all the twenty or more shows are studded with thousands of glittering varied colored lights while several hundred great white arc lights make the pleasure plaza as bright as daylight. The Venetian gondolas are a perfect blaze of colored lights and the big "Ferris wheel" revolves majestically decked in the same dazzling show of gay radiance. The interiors of the shows are also lighted by electricity, and the wonderful effect of the "red dome," the moving pictures of the eruption of Mont Pelee, and the destruction of St. Pierre, Martinque and a hundred and one other pleasing features are all obtained by the aid of the mystic electrical current. Front a distance the Midway looks like a veritable fairyland, which it is, and the scene is one that has never been reproduced. It is wonderful, fascinating, beautiful and inspiring in the extreme, proving simply irresistible to all who see it, and that is the secret of the vast crowds it will draw. Merry music is also a feature ofthe aggregation engaged, and besides the several good bands which will furnish music, there is a large military orchcstrian on the front of each show which is equipped with the very latest popular music. This is in itself a feature no other Midway shows possess, and the reason is obvious when it is stated that these tine instruments cost from $2,r>00 to $10,000. Visit the Elks' Carnival at Augusta week of November 17th to 22nd, and have a solid week of fun and frolic. Country Correspondence.

A Hnil^et of Interesting News from a Hustling Correspondent. SAM MOHTSEY DISAPPEARS. Mr. Sain Liglitsey, a well-known citizen of Sycamore and a son of M. M. Lightsey, has mysteriously disappeared and leaves no trace as to his whereabouts. His family last saw him on Wednesday evening, October 20, when he complained of his feet being cold and taKing a uuggy lap robe started to his room to retire, saying he would use the robe to keep his feet warm. The family thought uo more about him until the next morning when he did not rise as usual. A member of the family visited his room to arouse him. His bed had not been occupied and the robe la}* on the bed. His absence was soon made known to the other members of the family; neighbors were called in and no one knew anything of him. They at once instigated a search, which steadily increased day by day until several hundred men were scouring the woods and draining the ponds, but no clue. The speculative minds of those who knew him best advance several theories as to fate by foul play; claim that he has been annihilated. His family are frantic with suspense and surmised fate. Mr. Sam Lightsey was about thirty-three years old, of a mild disposition, unmarried, and, so far as can be learned, had no enemies. It is possible that he was taken for some one else and killed in the dark and his body done away with. EHRHARDT TO HAVE A CHURCH. The Ehrhardt Methodist church building committee, which met at the parsonage on last Saturday, was composed of the following men: Dr. J. H. Roberts, chairman; I)r. J. L. Copeland, secretary; Capt. J.

It is to have a steeple fifty-five feet high, < stained glass windows, and otherwise < will be on modern plans. It is to be com- '' pleted in six weeks. This will be the first church built in Ehrhardt. Messrs. J. A. and J. F. Chassereau, J. < 0. Kinard and H. C.

F There was a large wound, evidently * nade bjT a gunshot, that penetrated the a >ase of the brain and must have caused J ilmost instant death. There were small * hot wounds on the neck, face and body. r George McCurley stated that his r irothers, Ben and Arthur, had killed a tliriC, but neither he nor Will could give iny cause for the deed. J After the killing Ben and Arthur Mc- * hurley went to Blackville, telegraphed to * he sheriff at Barnwell what they had lone, and that they were ready to sur- ]i ciuler. Then they went home and went c o bed.
