The new dispensary commission has invited T. B. Felder to appear before them, a sort of "will you walk into my parlor" invitation, but we have no idea that he will accept. The Hon. Thos. seems to be a pretty shrewd sort of a fellow, and we do not believe he will ever appear before the commission. . The Southern Railway does not care anything for the business of Bamberg, for it does not consider this town in the schedules of its trains. p'^' Our mail and passenger service is vorv nnor and although complaint I; ? has been made to the railroad commission, nothing has been done to : give us relief. Efforts have been put forth for many months to make the Southern |;|a . Railway light its depot here with electric lights, but it is the policy of the road not to do anything for Bamfti. . "berg that can possibly be avoided. If ?/ > :: the road would give Bamberg the service its business warranted we a | would be satisfied. The business of the Southern here amounts to about . $100,000 a year, and yet we cannot ij'?- get the road to do anything that it BT.:* is not compelled to do. SUICIDE AT MANNING. Charles J. Rich Shoots Himself in i;" ' the Head. Manning, * April 22.?Charles J. . Rich, a white man about 45 years of j age, committed suicide yesterday af- ternoon and was buried at Home , Branch church to-day. Mr. Rich was a farmer in comfortable circum- | stances. He was never married. He j | lived with the family of his brother, . Mr. Gus Rich, who died last Septem- , % l>er after a v'ery brief illness. It is said that the last words Mr. Gus Rich littered were: "Charlie, don't take : another drink and take care of my litle children." The late deceased * obeyed his brother's injunction for a white, but went back to drinking, ] and it is said he stated several times , that he was going to kill himself, as 1 lie had nothing to live for. When i \ he finally decided on the fatal deed i yesterday he went into his room and, standing before a mirror, shot himself in the forehead with a 32-calibre rifle. He lived in the Sammy Swamp section, about seven miles west of Manning Two Sent to Prison. agv-r New Orleans, La., April 25.?Paul Felix, former mayor ef Kenner, La., ' and W. W. Stiles, former deputy sheriff of Jefferson parish, were today taken to the St. James parish jail to begin the service of sentences of six and 11 months respectively for alleged violation of the federal election laws. Thus ends one of the most unusual v *? 1 i n fhlG criminal udbca c?c* tuvu iu bu.u State. It was alleged that Felix and Stiles, objecting to the activity in the congressional election of 1908 of Col. E. A. O'Sullivan, a well known attorney, assaulted him and cut off his beard. The two were convicted of violating the election laws in interfering with a voter in the exercise of his franchise privileges. In addition to the prison sentences the defendants were fined $ 1,000 each. . Winter weather we are having this week. FOR SEGREGATION OF RACES. Asylum Commission Makes Announcement as to Policy. Columbia, April 22.?That one plateau of the lands purchased for the State hospital for the insane will be devoted to the erection of new buildings for the colored insane, and another plateau will be held in reserve for the needs of the asylum later on, was definitely announced here to-day by Dr. James W. Babcock, the chairman of the asylum commission. The lands for the colinnOMA ft fftnfl>fti? fram f Vi a Pa_ lumbia site than the lands to be held in reserve, most probably, for white patients. This announcement settles any doubt that may have.existed as to the policy of the commission with regard to the separation of the races. The white insane will remain at the plant now located in Columbia and recently improved by the erection of three new buildings during thej past year by the former asylum commission. The colored inshne will have new quarters and a reserve plateau will be held for future needs. At the present rate the reserve situation will be soon needed. In a short while actual work on the building will commence. One small building on the land purchased was remodelled and is used now for a few patients. Suicide in Laurens. Laurens, April 22.?Bascom McKelvey, a young farmer living in the Raburn Creek section of the county, committed suicide yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock, by jumping into Nash's mill pond near his home. Although the exact particulars are not obtainable, it is learned that the young man had been in a despondent condition for some time. A few weeks ago he was carried to Greenville, for treatment at a hospital for some disease and returned home the early part of this week very much out of spirits, intimating on several occasions that he intended suicide. The next morning following his return from Greenville, he drove to Gray Court and bought a ticket for Charleston, where it is thought he intended jumping into the bay to end his life. It is surmised that his nerve must have failed him there and he returned home, reaching there yesterday afternoon. That he jumped into the pond soon afterward was learned over the telephone here this morning. How the suicide was discovered or whether the body has been recovered, could not be learned as tha teleDhone lines have become crossed and no connection can be gotten. Mr. McKelvey was about 30 years of age, and was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Pet McKelvey, of the same section in which the suicide took place. His brother, Mr. James McKelvey, has been in Laurens during the last few days, attending the Methodist district conference. As soon as he learned of his brother's death he made preparations to go home. Preparations for Survey. The $51,000 for the survey of the Edisto river, preparatory to opening it to navigation, is now available, and the engineers who will make the survey will be in the city within a rery short time. The engineers who have been assigned to this work are finishing up some work on another assignment, and as soon as they have completed this task, they will set .to work on the survey of the Edisto. rhe work of surveying the river will ronnirp several weeks. Lieut. Whitscarver, who made the preliminary survey of the river on which was based the report recommending a more careful survey and on which was based the order for the expenditure of $15,000 additional, has already paid several visits to this city preparatory to the survey. He was in the city this week for the purpose of making arrangements for the necessary outfit which will be required to do the work. In the survey there will be engaged some 15 or more civil engineers, who will have about the same number of assistants. In addition to this several horses and mules will be required, and also a number of boats. It was for the purpose of securing these mules and boats, and carts and making arrangements for the laborers who will be needed that the last visit was made. It is understood that the necessary arrangements were completed, and as soon as the engineers arrive in the citv. they will have everything in I readiness for them to begin work immediately. According to the plan for the survey, there will be three parties, one party will be on each bank of the river, while the other party will go down the stream in boats. The survey will be as careful as it possibly can be made and it is believed that the report on this survey will be sufficient to warrant the government in making the necessary expenditure to open the stream to navigation.?Orangeburg Evening News.
