Jasper Varn, colored, is charged in the court of general sessions with obtaining mon?j?-; f ey under false pretences. Jasper Varn, white, is a most respectable citizen, and wishes it clearly understood that he is not the man under charges. Cotton continues to advance. Saturday and Monday were holidays in / the cotton exchanges and there was, therefore, no marKei quotations.

A severe electric storm passed over Bamberg Thursday night last. For several minutes there was a fierce blow of wind, accompanied by deafening peals of thunder and vivid displays of electricity. A bolt of lightning struck an electric wire running into the LaVictoire theater while a show was in progress. While no dam?age was done the audience was thrown into considerable excitement for a minute or so.

He taught English and mathematics last year at the high school of Hopkinsville, Ky." WOMEN AND LIQUOR. Add One More Case to Court's Murder Docket. One more murder trial was added to the docket of the present term of court Saturday night. Women and liquor appear to have been the two chief elements coming into the cause of the latest homicide. Illman Folk and Jesse Padgett are dead as the result of an affair near Ehrhardt Saturday night. Patrick Loadholt is in jail for the shooting of Padgett, and Padgett himself is charged with the killing of Folk. In addition to the arrest of Loadholt, several women were arrested as material witnesses to the affair. All of the parties concerned are negroes. An inquest was held Sunday over Illman Folk's body, the verdict being that he came to his death from gunshot wounds at the hands of Jesse Padgett. An inquest was held over i the body of Jesse Padgett Tuesday morning the verdict being that he came to his death from gun shot wounds in the hands of Patrick Load holt. It appears from the testimony at the coroner's inquest, that six negroes were present at the time, the scene of the killing being a house of disorder. The affair happened about midnight. Susie Ayer, one of the women involved in the case, swore that she, Illman Folk, Gloria McMillan, Jesse Padgett, Patrick Loadholt and Ida Glover were in the house, and that Illman started the racket by beating Ida. Jesse took the affair up, and Ida left, going to the house of another negro nearby, and then came back. The men in the meantime had a rather violent quarrel over the woman, and Jesse asked Illman if he wanted to cut it out or shoot it out, and Illman answered "No." Jesse then pulled a pistol and shot Illman Folk, according to this witness. Six shots were fired in the house. The witness ran, but came baGk and then went to another house ana saw Jesse Padgett lying down, but did not know he was shot. Gloria McMillan, another witness, said that Jesse and Illman Were playing "five. up," when Ida cursed Illman, who slapped her. Ida went out and asked Minnie Brabham to lend her a pistol, and came back. Ida said she did not get the weapon. She was standing in the door when the shooting occurred. Illman asked Jesse if he wanted to take Ida's part : ~ ? T ^ ~ j : a v>,,nV, iu me luss^auu. tueu aaiu, pmuus u?s coat open, he could "put every ball in Jesse's stomach." Witness said Jesse shot Illman and Patrick Loadholt shot Jesse Padgett. Music Club Entertains. The members of the Apollo Music club have enjoyed a series of good ! times for the past two weeks. Tu'es| day, August 30, a surprise picnic was ! given in honor of Mrs. B. D. Carter's guest, Miss Townsend.

After the business meeting, quite a number of amusing contests was held. During the after noon delightful punch, ice cream and cake were served. After spending a most pleasant afternoon with1 the hostess, the club adjourned to meet with Mrs. La Verne Thomas on September 15.

COURT NOTES. Items About Things and People in ' the Coutt Room. Williamson Case Continued. The first motion heard in the court 1 of general sessions .Monday morning < was one by James E. Davis, of Barn- < well, attorney for R. O. Williamson, i charged with the murder of Ham ] Brabham at Ehrhardt. Mr. Davis i moved for a continuance of this case ? on the same grounds that he moved for a continuance before the former ] trial of Williamson. It will be re- ] called that the case was forced to ; trial by the trial judge in the face ] of affidavits tiiat -Mrs. vvunamson 1 was unable to attend court on account of her physical condition. It was i contended that she was a material witness for her husband. After Williamson's conviction of manslaughter and sentence to ten years imprisonment, the case was ^appealed to the supreme court, which granted a new trial on the ground that a man is entitled to the presence of his wife in the court room during his trial for 1 his life. The affidavits Monday morning were to the effect that Mrs. Williamson is unable to attend court at ! this session. Judge Shipp granted a continuance upon the consent of the 1 solicitor. i ] Grand Jurors All Present. 1 Judge Shipp took occasion Monday to compliment the grand jury upon the fact that every member was present. When it is remembered that { there are eighteen members of the grand jury, from widely separated portions of the county, it is rather 1 unusual that every one is present at 1 the opening of court. J. D. Copeland, of Bamberg, is foreman of the J grand jury. i Imposes Prison Sentences. ( In passing sentence on a prisoner ^ Tuesday morning, Judge Shipp stated ! that he generally *made it a rule to impose a sentence in the penitentiary J or on the chain gang in liquor mak- 1 ing cases. Unless there are unusual " circumstances surrounding such ' cases, the violator is not given the l\~ ^ ternative of a fine, which is left in!; the discretion of the trial judge. In, ] view of the widespread practice of J fining such violators, this was a most s interesting statement and one which '' meets with the approval of most peo- ^ pie. J All Officials Present. All of the court officials were in 3 their places Monday morning. The 1 session of the court-is being presided ' over by Judge S. W. G; Shipp, of Florence, and this is his first visit ( here in several years. Solicitor R. L. Gunter, of Aiken, has been holding ' < ?? , - - ? _ .1 < ills JOD so long ne is a lixiure 111 iue court room. He knows everybody ' and everybody knows him as a- fear- 1 less exponent of the law. The stenog- ' rapher is Ernest L. Allen, of Aiken, 1 who succeeded Edgar A. Brown, of Barnwell, as stenographer a year or ' two ago, when Mr. Brown resigned. j Battery of Fans to the Rescue. / < The heat Monday morning was: , something terrific. Even before j court opened, the usual crowd in at-1 tendance the first day was sweltering j ^ in the court room. The court at-1 ^ tendants were a little ' bit uneasy j , about taking off their coats, for judg-l es have been known to look with j ( distinct disfavor on such procedure. ^ However, their uneasiness was relieved immediately on opening of the . court, and a promiscious "shucking"' j ^ was the order of the day, with the ( : exception of members of the bar and; the court. An electrician was hastily j ^ summoned a few moments before ten | o'clock, and a battery of electric fans' . was installed at various angles of the court room, which helped the ^ situation immensely, although it was still hot, even with the fans at work. General Sickness Threatened. 3 Juror C. H. Mitchell suspended op- 3 erations in 'the court room for a few 1 minutes Tuesday morning. Mr. I Mitchell was foreman of the Steedly 1 murder trial jury, and he was not feeling well when court opened. 1 About 11 o'clock he fainted in his , seat. All the doctors in town hap- i pened to be out at the minute, but 1 the timely appearance of "Uncle j George" with some good old apple , brandy helped in bringing him around. For a while the entire court was threatened with illness. I Abraham Lincoln to the Bat. < Abraham Lincoln appeared in 1 court Tuesday afternoon. Abraham is not as bright as the great emanci- , pator whose name he bears, but he 1 afforded the court some merriment , in his testimony which brought forth J frequent gutteral admonitions from I Sheriff Ray when the folks wanted 1 to laugh. Abraham was a witness in , the case of Lucius Washington, on j trial for throwing a bottle in a paso*nr fro in Cl Uiu. Largest tablet in county for 5c at Herald Book Store. BRINGS HOME THE GOODS. rreasurer G. A. Jennings Bags a Fim Buck at Sandy Run. Most anybody can "bring home th< oacon" in these times of a plentifu supply of hogs, but it takes* a goo< 3hot to bring home the vension, bu County Treasurer George A. Jen lings was equal to the occosion. Oi the opening day of the deer huntin; !> i 1 1 It. TnnninffC season, septeiuuer j., jir. .jcumusc who accompanied a party of loca huntsmen on a deer hunt at Sand; Run, succeeded in bagging a fine buck and he and his friends of the part; have been enjoying fine vension fo the past few days.

A Jennings. The trip to Sandy Rui was made on the last of August, am two or three days were spent on th property of the hunting club o which the gentlemen are members. The deer killed by Mr. Jenning was the only one bagged by tn Bamberg party. Sandy Run is locat id right near Jacksonboro, an histori spot. Jacksonboro was once the cap ital of South Carolina, a fact man: persons not familiar with the earl history of the state, do not know. MAN SLAIN BY SON. Cause of Fatal Shooting Not Definite ly Known.

Jenkins Editor The Herald: A few day ago I visited the farm of Mr. Joh: Millidge, whose farm is on the publi road leading from Govan to Bamber ind on the road leading from tha -oad to Denmark. Mr. Millidge lives on the estate o Mr. W. H. Faust, one of our leadin merchants in Denmark. Mr. Mil is nnp of niir leadine farmer and has reached the two^bale-pei acre mark in cotton growing, and th 75 or 80 bushel mark in corn pro iuction. He was harvesting peanuts They were some of the finest tha [ had seen this season and some o the finest in the county. He hai seventeen acres planted in this littl money making farm product and said to him, that I only wished tha :he fifteen acres of cotton he ha< planted on his farm had been plantei to peanuts, because the possibilit ?or a larger sum of money was to b bad than from the three bales o :otton expected from the 15 acre planted; The peanut I believe is to be on Df the leading money making crop 3f our southern farmers. Respect fully, E. D. Jenkins, Local Agent. ^ < m n ^ Miss Virginia Hill in Aiken. Miss Virginia Hill has returned t Bamberg after spending a few day in Aiken county in the interest o the W. M. U.
