Cleckley, when asked for , statement regarding the water sit cation in Bamberg, ^replied as folows: "Water is always pure unless conaminated from the outside. Many rells in daily use in Bamberg have organic matter present. Presence o: rganic matter means that such water irobably contains disease producing ;erms.- A common supply of pure tater means that there is only one rater to analyze; that analysis can ie made at regular intervals, and t can be kept pure and wholesome. Everybody will be encouraged to rink more water and thereby enjoy >etter health. With a properly regua,ted water supply, typhoid should ever occur." Barnwell Sentinel Items.

Upon this evidence Mr. Mayfield sked the magistrate to bind over Mr. Hume for trial in the circuit court, nd asked that Robert Miller and lenry Glovef be bound over as witesses. Train Crew Summoned. At this juncture, a message was ispatched to the Southern Railway emanding that the condytor, the aggage master and the brakeman ut in appearance before the magisrate Monday morning to continue tie investigation into the matter. The ailway officials replied asking that' lie hearing be postponed until Tuiesay morning, which was granted.

Key testified that Saturday lorning, just before his train was saving the union station in Augusta, vo negroes and a white man came p hurriedly Jto his car, and loaded trunk. The white man told him lat he was going to Bamberg, and ould be there to get the trunk. Mr. ey said the man then climbed board between the colored car and le baggage coach, and he presumed lat he would be a passenger. He lid that he did not in any way hanle the trunk and did not know that contained liquor. The men placed le trunk right in the doorway of is car, and he did not toucih it until le train stopped at Bamberg, when e turned it out of the car on to the uck here. He said that while, ;rictly speaking, this was not in ac)rdance with the rules of the rail)ad company, it was customary uner certain circumstances to accept a-e^aere in this manner, and that he "O 7 ad repeatedly done so, and that this as the first time any trouble ad arisen therefrom. The baggage laster could give no definite descripon; of the white man loading the unk in Augusta, as he said he paid o attention to him, and it was quite ark. Neither were the negroes nown to him. He stated positively lat he received no pay whatsoever )r bringing the trunk to Bamberg, [r. Key sa^d that if the trunk weighd in excess of 200 pounds, exces> aggage should have been charged, ut that he did not suspect that the *unk was overw'eight, and had no aspicions about it whatever; and lat, even if excess baggage should ave been chareed. he had no means f weighing the trunks Mr. Cook testified that he knew othing of the baggage transaction, ther than seeing the trunk unloaded rom the train in Bamberg.

Ehrhardt is located in Bamberg county, 16 miles south of Bamberg, i on the Atlantic Coast Line from Bam- i berg to the Charleston-Savannah line of the Atlantic Coast Line. It is a 1 prosperous, lively town of about 600 1 population and is in many respects a long way in advance of the usual i ! town of its size. The town government is Mn the hands of a mayor and aldermen, ; elected by , the people. Ehrnarat j boasts of two banks, which, in pro- i portion to t{ie population, gives it banking facilities many times larger i than those enjoyea by many towns : and cities of much greater population. 1 There are four churches and a modern brick school building. Many of the streets have paved sidewalks. 1 The ample water supply comes 1 through an artesian well with such < force that the usual pumping station and reservoir tank for distribution ] are not necessary. The natural pressure of the water, as it comes, up < through the pipe is sufficient to fur- < nish an ample supply to all citizens i as well as for fire protection pur- < pos6s. There is an electric light plant am- < pie for the needs of the town. 1 Ehrhardt is the natural market for < many prosperous farmers in the ter- i ritory adjacent. Its merchants are progressive and alive to modern con- " ditions, the stores and stocks of mer- 1 chandise being such as are usually 1 found only in much larger places. Ehrhardt is the centre of a fine 1 farming region and is in all respects < an up to date town.?The Columbia State. Death of Mrs. Bessinger. Mrs. Elizabeth Bessinger, wife of Mr. A. Bessinger. died at her home < in the Brier. Creek section of the i county Monday morning last. The < remains were interred Tuesday morn- * ing at ten o'clock at the family burial 1 ground, near her late home, Rev. Mr. i Williams conducting the funeral ser- 1 vices. Mrs. Bessinger was about 63 1 years of age. She is survived by her i husband; one daughter, Mrs. A. J. Page; four sons, Messrs. W. H., LA., ' G. W., and D. Bessinger. Mrs. >Bes- 1 singer was a member of the Edisto ! Baptist church. She had a large circle of friends, by whom the news of her death was received with sincere! '< sorrow. Stole Auto Out for a Hide. i ; , ' Hi Last Thursday flight some oner broke into the garage of Mr. B. W. , Miley, near his residence on Carlisle j street, and took his Overland car out j for a ride. The garage was entered j by pulling the staple out. Mr. Miley s had no knowledge of the affair until next morning, when he found the door unfastened. After using the car for a ride, the party or parties returned the machine in apparently I good order to the garage. Mr. Miley < says he has no idea who the thief could have been, but he has a clue J which he thinks may eventually ap- 1 prehend the guilty party or partiep. 1 ^ Revival Meeting Going On.
