Thursday, October IS, 1908 v1" ? AS TO "LAND GREED." The Walterboro newspapers appear to be somewhat exercised over our V paragraph in reference to the citizens of Warren and Broxton townships wanting to vote themselves into Bamberg county, and seem very much , surprised that they had not heard of it. The Colletop News need not be surprised that the voters of these x townships have failed to consult its editor and get his permission to "agttfitp" the matter, for he has not been) ^ ;in the county long enough to become m citizen. Even if he had been, it is j? s not likely that he would have been consulted. But the matter is being . "agitated" by the people of the townvi . 7 ships named, and the movement did V not originate in Bamberg. Whether It amounts to anything or not, or j|\ ; will be carried forward to the point s - of holding an election, we are not prepared to say, but we have heard Jfe the matter talked of for some Jp. months. It is not land greed on our part, neighbor. Don't be in such a hurry to attribute such things to us. Those people will better their con? ~ ' dition by coming into Bamberg. We / are willing to compare records with F|"> Colleton, along any line, "natural resources" or otherwise. We believe Bamberg has better roads, better' schools, and a lower tax rate than' i,-.. Colleton, and it is not surprising that! Jpeople from other counties want to .. come within our borders. ph^ ' But don't worry yourself. When -> ..?. the people of that section get ready H? to take any action in the matter they will not tax your brain with askingl | advice or suggestions as to what they must or must not do, and again we say if they want to come into Bamberg they will be cordially welcomed. CIVIC ASSOCIATION. ; , We are very much gratified that f. the ladies of Bamberg have organized 5.' . a civic association. There is much ^ y work for them to do, and we pledge! - them the hearty support of this newspaper in their efforts for a clean and i": beautiful city. There are a number 6f suggestions we might make to v: them hs to work to take up, and, if they will pardon us, one of the first *-V- things they should look after is the habit of merchants sweeping the paper and trash from their stores out on Main street, there to be blown about by the wind and scattered until taken up by the town carts. It is jnst as easy to put this trash in a barrel or box, and it would improve appearances very much. But we did , not start out to offer [suggestions. We only want to assure the association of our hearty support and en;:K couragement in their good work. No movement of recent years has meant E . so much for the town, an(} while there are difficulties ahead, we feel sure the association will accomplish much good. The ladies have organized with earnestness and enthusiasm, and we feel assured that this spirit, is not temporary. Is This True? "We understand that the people of Warren and Broxton townships in Colleton county are agitating the matter of voting themselves into Bamberg county. While we do not care to be put in the position of trying to make people in other counties dissatisfied, still if they want to come they will be welcomed. We understand there is a movement in Blackville township, in Barnwell county, to come into Bamberg also. Bamberg county will be glad to have all these people should they care to come, and we believe it will be to their interest to do so.?Bamberg Herald." The above comes as quite a surprise to us?we have heard absolutely nothing of any "agitation" on the part of any one to go to Bamberg county. We trust this is only one of brother Knight's dreams of what he would like to see. Of course the people of Warren and Broxton townships do not wish any such thing. They are at present mighty well pleased with Colleton. Bamberg courttv would beyond doubt, be glad toNhave these townships, but it will not just the same.?Walterboro Press and Standard. HOMICIDE IX ANDERSON. Wiley Mcintosh, Colored, Shot and Killed by Eulace Belcher. Anderson, Oct. 7.?Anderson conn- 1 ty added another homicide to her list ' when Wiley Mcintosh, colored, was shot and killed by Eulace Belcher at Barnes station. Belcher has been ar- ' rested and lodged in the county jail. According to Mcintosh's dying statement. the shooting was premeditated. He is quoted as saying that Belcher owed him 25 cents and that he promised to pay it to him provided he (Mcintosh) would call at Belcher's house for it. Belcher picked a quarrel with Mcintosh when the latter : arrived to collect the money. The quarrel was concerning Belcher's wife. Belcher commenced the firing, so it is said, and while attempting-to run away Mcintosh was hit by a bul- 1 let, which caused his death. Belcher tells a different story. He ; says that he heard a noise under his house and that when he went out to investigate it some one began shiot- ; ing at him from under the house. He said he returned the fire and hit i Mcintosh. Belcher said that Mcln- : tosh was running when he shot him, ] hence the bullet wounds in the ne- : gro's back. Belcher made no attempt i to escape and did not resist arrest. i SLAIN BY WOMAN. 1 Capt. J. Clayton Erb's Sister-in-Law Admits She Did the Shooting. , Philadelphia, Oct. 7.?The killing J at his country home near here last j night of Capt. J. Clayton Erb, trusted lieutenant and confidential man of Israel W. Durham, former leader . of the local Republican organization, has caused a sensation. Capt. Erb J was shot dead by his sister-in-law, j Mrs. Katherine Beisel, during a quarrel over domestic affairs. He was . extremely well known in all walks ; of life in this city and had many friends throughout the State. While Mrs. Beisel has admitted , the killing, she has thus far failed to supply certain details of the trag- . edy. According to Mrs. Beisel, she heard an exchange of angry words on the second floor and, on going upstairs found Erb beating his wife, j According to her story, as related to the officials, Erb turned from his wife and started to attack her and, fearing for her life, she pointed a revolver at him and fired. She emptied every bullet of the chamber into ] Erb's body and he staggered and fell ( in his tracks. Eugene Poulson, a colored coach- J man, recently indicted at the in- , stance of Mrs. Erb for threatened as- , sault. was the first to spread the , alarm when the shooting was diseov- ( ered. According to his story he was , sleeping in the coachman's house ] when Mrs. Beisel aroused him by crying out: "Capt. Erb has been shot." Poulson ran to a nearby village and at midnight aroused the officials and hurried them'back to the 5 scene of the tragedy. "Clayt" Erb, as he was familiarly ! known, had been a prominent figure 1 in Republican political affairs of this 1 county and state since the ascendency ! of his friend, Durham. j Just Land Greed. And now comes the Bamberg Herald with the statement that a part of Colleton county wants to move. J Above all that it wants to get into < Bamberg county. Just to keep the 1 record straight this is what the Her- < aid says: ] "We understand that the people of Warren and Broxton townships in i Colleton county are agitating the ; matter of voting themselves into ' Bamberg county. While we do not < care to be put in the position of try- : ing to make people in other counties dissatisfied, still if they want to come with us they will be welcomed. We understand there is a movement on foot for Blackville township, in Barnwell county, to come into Bamberg also. Bamberg county will be glad to have all these people should they care to come, and we believe it will be to their interest to do so." Now, Neigbhor Knight ma}' be working a joke or leading up to a boom issue, but he's certainly serving cold dope when he passes out this dose. Some fellow may have casually remarked that Bamberg is a mighty good county?and it is? but this is the first information The News has had that anybody preferred Bamberg to Colleton county; any of the folks living in Colleton. As good as Bamberg is we are just a little better as a county, and we are very shortly going to be better than that. In fact, with all the development work just opening up in this county, and the possession of natural resources all over the county which Bamberg could never hope to lay claim to, who would want to make such a move? No, old fellow, you simply got the left shoe on the right foot. No portion of Colleton county has the slightest reason to want to become a part of Bamberg; but Bamberg has every reason to want a part of Colle ton?which she can't get. And say, neighbor, we are pretty | busy right now, and jokes are out j of season.?Colleton News. JEALOUS MAX USES AX AXE. j His Wife, Brother-in-La\v and letter's Wife his Victims. Bristol. Tenn., Oct. 4.?A special from Johnson City says: L. A. Bayless. a magistrate, early to-day attacked his brother-in-law, Berney Bayless. while the latter was asleep in bed at his home and almost literally chopped his head off with an axe. He then attacked Bayless's wife fatally wounding her. Turning the weapon upon his own wife, who was in the house he struck her several blows and inflicting probably fatal injuries. Bayless was arrested and half an hour later was found dead in his cell, having hanged himself. Jealously is said to have been the cause of Bayless's attack. G. Frank Bamberg received Monday the first car load of horses and mules for this season. They are beauties, and will be sold right. Full stock of buggies, wagons, harness, lap robes, etc., on hand. t New City Hall. J. City council is discussing the pro-J position of erecting a new building to replace the one destroyed by fire, i It is likely that Bamberg will have a sky scraper, as it is the plan of council to erect a three-story building if possible. They wish to erect a building 3">xl00 feet, with a handsome store on the first floor. On the second { floor will be a larger hall for public i tainments. etc., and the third floor ' will be a lodge room' for the ( Masons and Knights of Py- | thias. this hall to be used exclusively for a lodge room. It will ( be fitted up handsomely, and will have a reading room, all necessary ante rooms, regalia closets, and a i large lodge room. Council and re- / presentatives of the lodges are conferring together, and it may be that;( the lodges will build the third story / and own it, as council has not the money in its treasury to erect the I entire building. The Knights of | Pythias lodge has about $1,000 on hand and the Masons several hun- \ dred, so they could easily borrow any | balance needed. It is their idea to . fit up the hall with handsome fur- ( niture, chrpet, etc., in other words to | make as nice lodge room as there is . in the State, and it is also proposed * to make the building one of the handsomest in town. It is a good idea, and we hope to see the three-story building erected. The Cotton Market. * Cotton is selling in Bamberg to-j Jay (Wednesday) at 8% cents the pound.

C Never neglect your kidneys. If you have pain in the back, urinary disorders, dizziness a!hd nervousness, it's time to act and no time to experiment. These are all symptoms of kidney trouble, and you should seek a remedy which is known to cure the kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills is the remedy ' to use. No need to experiment. It ' has cured many stubborn cases in Bamberg. Follow the advice of a Bamberg citizen and be cured yourself. ' J. C. Utsey, Main St., Bamberg, S. C., says: . "I am very willing that my name should be used in recommendation of such a valuable remedy as Doan's Kidney Pills. I suffered to quite an extent from kidney trouble for several years. There were pains in the small of my back, through the loins and at times I was bothered by the irregular action of the kidneys. The use of several rem- ; edies brought me but little relief and when I saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised, I went to the People's- drug store and procured a supply. Although I have not taken them long enough to justify a cure, from the results already received. I feel that it * will be but a short time before this result is brought about. T hope that others who are afflicted in a similar manner will give Doan's Kidney Pills a trial." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
