Hamhrrg iirralh Thursday, July 10, 1913 SHORT LOCALS. Brief Items of Interest Throughout the Town and County. Every day is "clean up day" in Bamberg now. The newspaper man is not to blame if the paper is not interesting these days. There is simply no news tc write about. We learn that the laying of rail on the railroad from Bamberg to Enrhardt will begin next week. Track laying will begin at the Ehrhardt end. The July term of court was in session here Monday and Tuesday of this week, with Judge Ernest Gary presiding. Only equity matters were attended to, there being no jury drawn. Miss Ollie Lee Dobson, who taught in the Bamberg graded school for the past three years, but who declined re-election for next year, has been elected as a teacher in the Magnolia school at Greenwood. The crops in this section are looking well, and there is every prospect for a fine yield of both corn and cotton. We have recently been around the State some, and the crops around Bamberg are the finest we have seen. The finest and largest cotton bolls we have received thi6 season were brought to us Tuesday morning of this week, and they were from the farm of Mr. J. A. Spann, near town. There were several bolls, all of them ahmit frnwn * Mr. J. D. Hadwin, who formerly lived in Bamberg, but who has been living in Langley for several years, has located at Denmark as watchmak* er and jeweler. M. Hadwin makes a specialty of fine repair work on watches, and guarantees satisfaction. The fourth of July was a quiet day in Bamberg. Most of the stores were closed, as were the banks, while the post office kept Sunday hours. The rural carriers also had a holiday. There were several picnics held at various parts of the county, all of which were well attended notwithstanding the excessive heat. Mr. G. D. Gray, of the Lees section, was in the city last Wednesday and called to see us. He says the crops around Lees are fine, which is not unusual, as that is one of the finest farming sections in the State, and none of the planters in that community have finer farms and make better crops than Mr. and Mrs. Gray. The friends of Dr. C. E. Kinsey in this city will regret to learn of his death, wffiich occurred recently at his home near Williams, in Colleton county. He lived here some years - ? J F>r ago ana prauiiceu mo piuicooivu. Kinsey leaves a widow and several children, most of the children being grown. He had been in bad health for some time. The cotton mill closed down last Thursday night and did not start up again until Monday morning of this week, consequently The Herald had no power to operate its linotype or presses during the shut down. This has put us badly behind with our work, but we are not complaining, as we are glad for the operatives to have a little holiday. Reunion of Company G. The annual reunion of Co. G., 1st, S. C. V., will take place at Bethesda church on the 31st, day of July, 1913, it being the last Thursday in July. Everybody is cordially invited to attend with well filled boxes and baskets.

V OUTING GIVEN MILL FOLK. 'ol. W. G. Smith Provides Picnic for Hands. A very pleasant outing was given le operatives of the cotton mill of le Orangeburg Manufacturing comany Friday by Col. W. G. Smith, who as resigned his position with this oncern, and is now no longer conected with the mill. The outing was 1 shape of a picnic and barbecue hicti took place at tne site or me Id Dukes fishery. The picnic was ttended by a large number and a ery pleasant time was spent. Coi. mith invited Mayor Sain to be presnt at the outing, and he accepted the ivitation also. Col. Smith has just disposed of his oldings in this mill and is now no )nger connected with same. He has een at this mill for a number of ears and many of the employees ho have worked under him here ave been in his employ for twenty ears. In fact some of his employees ave never worked for anyone else as hey came to Orangeburg from Bamerg with Col. Smith when he left the lill in that town to come to this lace. The employees regret very rnch to see Col. Smith leave the mill s they are very much attached to im, and greatly admire^him. T. W. Lang, of Macon, Ga., has een sent to this city to take charge f the mill as general manager in the lace of Col. Smith, Mr. Lang is origlally from England, but has been in tiis country for a number of years ngaged in the cotton mill business. Col. Smith* has made no announce% lent as to his plans so far as busiess is concerned for the future. He imply states that he will take a rest Dr awhile. A rest for a man who as been constantly employed for tiirty-one years seems justly earnd. Col. Smith has been constantly mployed in the cotton mill business 3r that period. He has not lost a ingle day, save for on account of ickness in that time, and during that me he has been connected with sevral coton mills in this state.? rangeburg Evening News, TO JAIL FOR A FEATHER. . Wealthy American Woman Put to Hard Labor in Bermuda. Convicted of stealing a feather orth 36 cents, Mrs. Elizabeth I. rown, wife of Evan Middleton rown, of Boyshore, N. Y., is servlg a month's sentence at hard labor 1 prison here. The American colony is very much erturbed on account of the arrest, 3 it is declared that the conviction as obtained upon the flimsiest evience. The Browns came to Bermuda sevral months ago and leased one of le most expensive cottages. Mr. rown had been ill and they told acuaintances that they had determin3 to make a lengthy stay on account f his health. Mrs. Brown attracted admiration ecause she was one of the most :>mely and best-dressed women on le island. A great deal of mystery surrounds er arrest, conviction and sudden senmce. She went to a store in the earr morning three weeks ago and Dught some black grass. She decided ) take it home on approval, and hen the salesgirl was wrapping it up ud making out the check another irl reported that Mrs. Brown had !a<->or? cj fonthar in he>r hsnrihflP Executives of the company followi her to her home, after having oblined a search warrant. They saw [rs. Brown through a window, fitting feather on a hat, while Mr. Brown ized approvingly at the combination, ntering the house, the milliner deianded the feather with much indigation. "Why?" demanded Mrs. Brown in lrprise. "Because it was stolen from my ;ore," was the reply. Mrs. Brown burst into laughter, linking the affair was a joke, but lughter soon changed to weeping hen she was led to the police court, he declared that she had been buyig things at the store for several lonths and had credit established. The milliner was insistent, and [rs. Brown was sent to prison to jrve one month at hard labor. Despite his illness, Mr. Brown beg ed to be allowed to serve the time )r his wife, but the magistrate said lis would not vindicate the law. He as also insistent that Mrs. Brown o to prison, when her solicitor arued that a fine would serve the purose fully as well. Mrs. Brown, before leaving the )urt room, attempted to explain to le judge that she had told the clerk hen she made the first purcase that le would pay for the feather the next lorning because the amount was so nail.

The room in which punch was served was cool and inviting in decoratjon of blue, banks of deep blue hydrangia helping to carry out the note of color struck by the blue furnishings and pretty delft blue tiling. The dining room was attractively ornamented in pink, and a dainty and charming feature of the serving was the pink rosebud laid upon each plate in which refreshments were served.

SETTING HIMSELF RIGHT. Man Pays for Articles He Says He Stole when a Boy. Greenville, July 8.?A man who gave his name as Compton, and who said he was from Greer, came into a local clothing store to-da^ and insisted upon paying one of the clerks 50 cents, which he said he owed him. No record could be found of the alleged debt, and the visitor was questioned as to the purchase. "No, I don't guess it is charged to me," he said. "When I was a rather 1 small boy, I 6tole some articles out of your store, that I suppose were worth about 50 cents. Since I have grown up and have got religion, this matter has been worrying me, so I came in to pay for those things." The man insisted on paying the money, so the merchant accepted it. WAR ON AGAIN AT CABIN CREEK. Hostilities Renewed in West Virginia Coal Fields. Charleston, W. Va., July 7.?Hostilities were renewed in the Cabin Creek coal fields late to-day and tonight rifle shots can be heard in the mountains overlooking the mining camp of Olney, according to reports received by Sheriff Bonner Hill. A strike was declared by the union on Cabin Creek two weeks ago, but according to Superintendent Harry Davis, of the Cabin Creek Consolidated Company's mine at Olney, about forty of the miners continued at work. When these men came out of the mine to-night they were fired upon. A mule was killed and two miners are missing. Sheriff Hill called on Governor Hatfield for advice. "Notify the Judges of the Circuit and Intermediate Courts." said the Governor. "After they have investigated the situation and if they find they are unable to cope with the situation then I will be ready to act." Shooting was reported also at other points along Cabin Creek tonight. STORM SWEEPS ELGIN. Three Men Killed and Property Damaged.

Atlanta, Ga., July 7.?T.-D.Thompson, holding a responsible position with the Atlanta Envelope Company, was flogged with a horsewhip here / this afternoon by Mrs. J. J. Lee, who is the wife of an office attache of the Central of Georgia Railroad. Both persons are under arrest to-night, i charged with disorderly conduct. Mrs. A Lee resides at 388 Peachtree stret, the latter being the most fashionable residence street in the city. AH Armed with a horsewhip, which SH she purchased to-day, Mrs, Lee went the plant of the Atlanta Envelope Company, at 109 South Forsyth street this afternoon and waited in the street outside for Thompson to appear. The latter, without knowledge ^ ? that Mrs. Lee was waiting for him, came out of the Envelope Company's plant in about a half hour after the Jm woman arrived. She immediately attacked him with the whip, lashing ^ him several times on the face and then beating him o^er the head with the butt of the whip. Thompson, seeking to defend himself, seized the woman by the wrists, forcing her to her knees. Dr. J. C. Wright, a local physician who hap- y pened to be passing, then rushed between Thompson and Mrs. Lee, preventing a further struggle. An examination of Thompson showed that he was not badly hurt. Mrs. Lee was escorted to a nearby drug store, where she collapsed, pend- * ing the arrival of the police. In explanation of her action she alleged that Thompson had been circulating slanderous remarks concerning her. She and her husband have been separated two months. Thompson is ^ married. Both persons will be given ; a hearing in the City Court to-mor- < row. inwN n HAnwiN " J: WATCHMAKER AND JEWELER Fine Railroad and Complicated Repairing a Specialty. 35 Years Experience DENMARK, S.
