The first frost of the season was seen in Bamberg Friday morning. On Saturday morning the fields and housetops were white with the first sign of winter.

The frost Saturday is said by many to have been the heaviest of recent years for this season of the autumn. The state and county and federal elections were held throughout the county Tuesday.

A one week's session of the court of common pleas was convened in Bamberg Monday morning, with his honor, Judge Peurifoy, of Walterboro, presiding. Only civil business is being heard at this session of court, and it is likely that the session will not-last through the week. The first case tried was that of J. A. Sanders against the Bank of Olar. This suit was the result of a deposit by Sanders in the bank, and by clerical error the deposit was credited to the wrong name. When a check from Sanders was presented, it was not honored. Sanders sued the bank for $3,000 damages. The jury found for the defendant bank. The next case was that of Canvass Decoy Co. against S. W. Copeland, in which the concern alleged that Copeland was due a small amount for some goods, payment of the bill being refused because the goods were not as represented. The verdict was in favor of the defendant. The suit of F. K. Graham against the Atlantic Coast Line Railway company resulted in a verdict in Mr. Graham'c favor for $150, the amount asked for the killing of a mule in a shipment of stock.

The room was in utter darkness and chains rattling added more to the horror of the room. \ Papers were then passed around and each guest was requested to comment on some boy or girl present. Phis caused much laughter as the papers were read; each guest found lis or her fault. A jar of shelled peaauts was brought forth and each person was requested to guess the numDer in the jar.

Young Negro Man Found Dead Neat His Ditched Automobile. George Kearse, Jr., a young negrc about 18 years old, was found dead early Saturday morning on Carlisle street. Appearances indicated that Kearse had been the victim of an unusual automobile accident. The accident had taken place some time during the night, and the boy had been lying on the street dead probably for some hours before he was found by a colored woman going tc work Saturday morning. A few yards away in the railroad cut ditch was an automobile that told the only tale that can be surmised as to the cause of the negro boy's death The car had gone head foremost intc the ditch. The wind shield was apparently the only thing seriously hurl about the car, and those who visited the scene of the accident Saturday morning drew the conclusion thai he had been thrown through the windshield and that a piece of broker glass- had severed a blood vessel ir the leg. A stream of blood led from the car to the body. It seems likely that Kearse eithei lost control of the car or mistook the ditch for the road, and when the car went into the ditch the jar threw him against the glass. It appeared that a small cut in the leg was the only injury he sustained. The boy who was married, lived in the servant's house in the rear of Mrs. J D. Copeland, Sr.'s residence, and il was evident that he was trying to gel home, when the loss of blood rendered him unable to go further. He had gone about half way home when he died. Kearse was the son of George Kearse, a well known gardenr aboul town who is highly respected. < ? ? Anderson-Rhine.

She married William May, of Walterboro, who died several years ago-. iMrs. May was a devoted wife and mother, and a sincere friend. She was a woman of great strength of character and bore the trials and reverses of life with Christian fortitude.
