(thr Sambrnt Irralh j ^ > Thursday, Sept. 4, 1913 SHORT LOCALS. Brief Items of Interest Throughout the Town and County. Commencing with last Tuesday, September 2nd. the Bamberg post office was made a postal savings bank depository. There is to be a dance at the river to-morrow (Friday) evening. A number of out-of-town visitor3 are expected. Mr. Prevatt and Mrs. McDonald, of Schofield, were married at the Johnson Hotel last Sunday by Judge of Probate G. P. Harmon. Messrs. J. M. Grimes. W. H. Faust, and J. B. Kearse were appointed Tuesday by the governor as the dispensary board for this county. As Monday was labor day and a legal holiday, the post office observed ?. Sunday hours, while the rural carriers did not make their usual trips. Rev. W. H. Hodges writes us from Hendersonville, X. C., that he will ' preach at Trinity Methodist church next Sunday morning and night, September 7th, The Barnwell Baptist Sundayschool convention convened in this city, at the Baptist church, yesters day morning, and a good crowd of delegates are in attendance. Monday was the first Monday in the month and salesday, but there was not a large crowd in town. Farmers are too busy gathering cotton to come to towp much nowadays. *' While the post office is closed on legal holidays, persons can get of Tha HoralH nflfipp \Vp IcPPn ??vciuiyo cx i x uv v*?*vv? .. ^ ..vwjr | a supply here on holidays to accommodate the patrons of the office. Mr. J. M. Grimes says the people in the country used to sell hogs to the people in town, but now the situation has been reversed, for he sold some hogs this week to a gentleman who lives in the country. The fall session of the Bamberg graded school commences next Monday morning. Every child who will attend school should be present on the opening day and start work with the others. Parents have little idea how it handicaps their children to keep them out of school for a fewweeks at the commencement of a session, Headmaster Guilds states that the outlook for a large enrollment at the Carlisle School is most encourag? ing. Indications at present are that the school will enjoy the largest enrollment in the boarding department * > " ? U'l. 4 Vt ^ An- AT_ I Ill Its History. \v ueu we ucn uuimitory, which is progressing rapidly, is completed the school will be one of / the best equipped in the State. Miss Beulah Hiers, of Hampton, has been employed to teach the primary classes at the Carlisle School for the coming session. Miss Hiers is a graduate of the Carlisle School and of Winthrop College, where she j did special work in the primary department. The school authorities consider themselves fortunate in securing the services of Miss Hiers. The dry weather continues, and cotton is opening rapidly in this section. It is being gathered and mar-1 keted at a rapid rate, and the receipts at this market were very large last week for the time of year, nearly two hundred bales being received last Saturday. Prices are good, and! many farmers are already paying up * * -1 ^ A ^ /111 rv f V> a tneir aeois cuiiimtieu uuims iut summer. The outlook for business this fall is very bright. The contract for boxes and equipment for the Bamberg post office has been let to the Leesville Mfg. Co. This firm does high class work, and they will give the office an equipment second to none. The screen work and boxes will be of quarter sawed oak, highly polished, and the overhead work will be of glass in panels. Altogether the outfit will be of the very best, and it will no doubt be a big advertisement for the Leesville people, as this class of work has heretofore been done exclusively by Northern firms. Dies When His Home Burns. Anderson. September 2.?F. W. Jones, a white man about fifty years of age, was burned to death in his home on the outskirts of Pendleton - ? * 1 a A ? J ~ ana nis nouse anu coiuvllis weic ucstroyed last night, in a fire which is supposed to have been started through his own carelessness. Jones was drinking yesterday, it is said, and ran off members of his family. It seems that one of the boys returned later, when his father was not noticing, to secure his clothes and he noticed that the father had built a roaring fire in the stove. It is presumed that the fire started from the stove and that Jones's condition prevented his getting out. A charred mass of bones and flesh was found in the embers. Ikwird of Control Recommended. Under the provisions of the dispensary law the legislative delegation in each county recommends a county board of control to the gov. ernor for appointment. In accordance with this provision, Senator J. B. Black and Representatives J. A. , Hunter and B. \Y. Milev held a meeting here last week and recommended for appointment the following gentlemen as the board of control for ; Bamberg county: Mr. J. M. Grimes. 1 of Bamberg; Mr. W. H. Faust, of Denmark; and Mr. J. B. Kearse, of < the Kearse section. The Cotton Market. ! The receipts of cotton continue large at Bamberg, and the price is ' going steadily up. The government c report was issued Tuesday, and show- 1 ed a very low percentage for cotton, A which boosted the price, although * the market has been strong ever ( since the season opened. The receipts here up to to-day (Wednesday) were about seven hundred bales, and the price to-day is 12% cents the pound. 1 j Mrs. Gilchrist Entertains. j On Wednesday evening, Mrs. C.

Ed ^ Howe has lately been there, and the j following are some of the pleasant i things he says of the place: "At 9 o'clock this evening we came j to Aden in Arabia, said to be the j hottest town in the world. Every j drop of water used here is condensed I from the sea, although there is a white population of 2,000, including English soldiers, and an Arab popula- s tion of 40,000. There is a tradition f that rain fell at Aden three years ago, and that every roof in the town leak- e ed; but previous to that time no rain 1 had fallen in the town or its vicinity for many years; many of its elderly i citizens had never seen a rainstorm, s and looked with wonder upon the one s tj-Vi f^ll tViroo vosrc ncrn X ETpntlft- i man who lives at Aden says he pays $20 a month for water, which is delivered at his door in tanks drawn by camels: Some of the numerous shops in Aden sell nothing but condensed and bottled water and the price in quantity is usually a dollar a hundred gallons. Many years ago great tanks were built at Aden to catch the precious rainfall, but these have not been in use for many years, although tourists usually visit them." CHARGED WITH KILLING COUSIN Negro in Colleton Jail, However, Claims Self-Defense. Walterboro, August 30.?DeLeon Murray, colored, was committed to jail this morning by J. O. Ackerman, charged with the murder of his cousin, William Murray, near Cottageville in this county, on August 26. The details of the affair are hard to get, but it seems that the two negroes were in the woods at the time, and that the negro who was shot lived long enough to make a statement, in which he charged the other negro ] with shooting him without cause. However, the ne'vro in jail strongly , contends that he shot in self-defense. The inquest was held by Magis- J trate T. M. Reeves, of Cottageville, the verdict of the jury being death at the hands of DeLeon Murray. HELD OX SERIOUS CHARGE. Lexington Wliite Man Accused of Attempted Assault. Lexington, August 30,?Deck Alewine, a white man, was lodged in the Lexington County jail by Sheriff Sim J. .Miller this morning upon a warrant charging him with attempted criminal assault, his alleged victim being a white girl over 16 years of ige. The warrant was sworn out at the instigation of the girl's father. The crime is alleged to have been committed on Tuesday of this week, vhile the girl was on the way from tier home to the Lexington Manufacturing Company. Alewine is more than 4 0 years of lge and has a family, some of his ihildren being almost grown. Unless the case is settled otherwise Alevine will be held for trial at the Sep;ember term of General Sessions Dourt. The Next Worse Life. The preacher has a hard time. If lis hair is gray, he is old. If he is a -oung man, he hasn't had experience, j f he has ten children, he has too nany; if he has none, he should have 'hildren, for he is not setting a good ixample. If his wife sings in the :hoir, she is presuming; if she does tot, she is not interested in her hus>and's worlf. If a preacher reads rom notes, he is a bore; if he speaks ixtemporaneously, he is not deep mough. If he stays at home in his tudy, he doesn't mix with the peo>le; if he is seen around the streets, te ought to be at home getting up a ;ood sermon. If he calls on some ery poor family, he is playing to the ;randstand; if he calls at the home f the rich, he is autocratic. Whatever he does some one could have old him how to do it better. He has . fine time living off donations which tever come in and promises that lever mature. Next to being an edior, it is an awful life.?Fayetteville )bserver. Cause of Wrecks.

"My wife is keen for a bargain," aid the man who talks about his amily. "What a peculiar woman," exclaimtd the one who was to listen, says .he Cleveland Jfiain-ueaier. "Yes, sir," went on the other, "and '11 just give you an example of how he saves money. Yesterday was her lister's birthday, and her sister lives n the Southern part of the State.
