feelings,between us.
Lonnie Wright testified that the!
pistol was. ui3 and. that he left >t|
?loaded. - Was from Bamberg arid has
'been going to. school here four years.
He said he brought the pistol from
home with him. He did not know
anything aopu.t the killing as wae^
Jtot present .when it happened.
'' T. F. Deas, at whose house the
"accident occurred, and whose son
"was present when it did occur, said
no knew Pinckney Bethea for about
four months. "Never * heard' of .any
dispute, between John Deas and
Pinckney Bethea! Never saw the pis
tol unt?l after the killing/ Th; o/<ys
never.had played with pistol to his
khowlp'lge. ?
; Ja-.'. W. Weidham testified that he
did not know anything of the kiP
lag. .T. F. Deas notified him at
church that] Bethea was dead.... Be^
tfcea boarded] with'him for the last
four months. Knew .h]oth bo<-s. but
never heard of any trouble between
them. ' They went together often.
Never saw pistol before. .Surprised
when beard of shooting, but ':ad no
reason to believe that Bethea's death
was c'wsed by foul play.'
Aft^r hea.ing the above testimony,
and the testimony of Dr. D: J^ Hy
driok, who held the post mortem ex
amination, "the jury of inquest, of. I
which Capt. W. R. Taylor was fore- ]
xa&n. rendered a verdict that. Pinck
ney Bethea came to his death by the
accidental discharge of. a pistol while
in his o^-n hands. After this verdict

VER5T SERIOUS FIRE.
Residence of Mrs. G. Edwin Stokes
*'}.?$? :? :.i .?'; - ' ?? : \ -j:;
Budly Damaged.
?Monday morning about three
o'clock fire was discovered in the
kitchen of Mrs. G. Edwin Stokes on
Church street opposite St. Paul Meth
odist church. The kitchen is at
tached to the residence and the Are
soon communicated , to that, and had
made, some headway before it was
discovered. The fire department re
sponded promptly and soon had the
fire under control. The kitchen was
badly damaged, but the g,allant fire
men extinguished the fire before It
had damaged the residence much.
Mrs. Stokes has a number of
boarders, s->me of whom lost nearly
all their belongings before the fire
could be extinguished. Rev.' J. H.
Wilson, D. D., pastor of the Luth
eran church, who is one of her' boar 1
ers, lost nearly all of his clothes,
booka, and other things. Of the
boarders he was t''e heaviest loser.
The'bouse was flooded with water,
which" damaged the furniture of Mrs.
Stokes and the clothes and other
things of the other boarders. Thi3
could not. be avoided as the fire had
crept Into the upper part of the
house.
The' origin of the fire is unknown,
but is supposed to have been caused
by a defective flue. Some months ago
the kitchen caught on the roof in the
daytime, but was extinguished before
mnich damage was done. Consider
ing the unseasonable hour at which
the fire was discovered Monday morb
ing the firemen did fine work to save
the building from being destroyed
entirely. We are glad to know that
iMrs. Stokes had some insurance on
her furniture. We hope her loss was
fully covered. \t N
Meeting Was Touching.
It is said that the meeting between
Lizize Cain and her aged parents was
touching. They had not seen her
since she was a little girl five years
old, that being her age when she was
stolen. The aged mother was over
come with the joy that filled her
heart, for the loss of the child had
weighed heavily upon.her; she col
lapsed when the marks she had al
ways asserted would prove the iden
tity of her babe, were disclosed upon
the body of Lizzie. It is a great
oonsolatioa to this old couple to
know that the. daughter whom they
mourned so long is well and being
well taken care of, even if she does
return to her work with the circus.
"The Sins of the Father." Coming.
A new Thomas Dlxon play, In which
that author leaves the historical field
and pictures the life of the South to
day, Is the interesting announcement
at the Academy of Music for Mon
day, Jan. 30th. "The Sins of the
Father"?for that is the title of the
play?tells a story of love and hare,
of lawless passion and its direct con
sequence, in the home of a gallant
Confederate officer thirty-five years
after the War. In it Mr. Dixon strikes
the race problem at an entirely new
angle, for on a member of Major
Norton's household rests the sus
picion of a taint of negro blood.

E'RICE-OAMPBELL PICKER WILL
DO TBIE WORK.
At Least That Is What Mr. H. B.
Jennings, Who Saw It at Work
' Says.
-Mr. H. B. Jennings, of Lumherton,
N. C, was. appointed by the Amer
ican Cotton Manufacturers Associa
tion at its last meeting to examine
nnd report upon the merits of the
Price-Campbell .cotton picker. On
a special request from The Charlotte
Observer Mr. Jennings has reduced
his Impressions to writing for the in
formation of the readers. Mr. Jen
nings has very kindly conplied as
follows:
"Upon receiving from the Ameri
can Cotton Manufacturers' Associa
tion an appointment as the Associa
tion's representative to visit Texas
:md Oklahoma with the party of lad
ies and gentlemen from New York
and New England, who were to visit
that section of the country for the
purpose of witnessing field demons
trations of the Price-Campbell Cot
ton Picker. I went to St. Louis, ar
riving there the afternoon of Octo
ber 15th. We left St. Louis that af
ternoon, about S o'clock, on a special
train, our first stop being at Mes
auite, Texas, the nLght of the 16th.
The car was here side-tracked, where
we spent a quiet and restful night.
The following day, the 17th, after
having breakfast, the party was driv
en out to the plantation of Mr.
Schuyler Martin, where we were to
have the first chance to. see this
I wonderful machine. A large crowd
I had gathered, the day was perfect,
and no time was lost in starting the
I demonstration. The machine has
[more the appearance of an automo
bile than anything else; a man sits
above the fore part of the machine,
Son a comfortable spring seat, and
drives the machine straight down and
over the row of cotton. The machine
is driven by a 30 horse-power gaso
line engine, which seems to afford
ample power; it was under perfect
control at all times. It moved about
as fast as a man walks. The cotton
stalks are slightly compressed by the
"V-shaped guide on the fore part ot
the machine?this in order to bring
the whole plant in reach of the fin
gers which do the picking. These
fingers are about six hundred in num
ber, and* are the most ingenious part
of the mechanism. They have the
faculty of reaching every part of the
plant, engaging every particle, of the
open cotton, then moving out from
the plant with a backward motion,
which prevents injury to the plant
itself
"I followed this machine up ana
down many rows of cotton; not one
plant did I find Injured by the oper
ation of the machine; saw no bolls;
blooms or leaves knocked bp the
ground. The machine picked ?p
proximately five hundred pounds of
seed cotton per hour; and only one
man was operating It. The cotton,
When delivered by the fingers, drop
ped to a moving belt, or belt con
veyor, oue of these being on each
side of the machine, and was car
ried by this belt to a large bag on
each side of the machine; everything
worked smoothly, and automatically.
No other human agency was employ
ed than the man who drove the ma
chine. Many were the expressions of
surprise at the . performance of the
machine;, it. seemed that most of
those who hf.d gone there to witness
the operation of the machine, had
done so, expecting to see a failure;
I'.will state, jandldly, that I was one
of them. I had never expected to
see cotton successfully picked by
machinery. I thought it a sad com
mentary, upon our Inventive genius
that the col ton picker should have
been developed by ode who for the
greater part of 'his life had resided
outside of t?e cotton belt; we have
had this brought home to us many
times before, however, it being well
known, that to these northern broth
ers, we owe the invention of the gin,
spinning machinery, rice harvesting,
and practically all other machinery
which we make daily use of in con
verting our raw material into finish
ed or semi-finished product.
"The evening of October :17th, our
car was taken to Dallas, Texas, ana
left near the fair grounds, the Dal
las fair being on at that time; we
spent two days here. The grounds
within the race track had been cul
tivated in cotton, and was in proper
condition for the demonstration
which we were no see there. There
was a large crowd at the fair, and
interest in the machine wa:3 intense,
It having been reported throughout
that section of the State that the
machine had been tried on Texas
farms and had made good; the cot
ton field had been enclosed by wire
fence, it having been demonstrated
at other places that the excited peo
ple w-ould do that which the machine
would not?injure the plant. At
this point two of the Price-Campbell
cotton pickers were in active opera
tion, the field containing, I would
guess, about 25 acres of cotton. I
watched the operation of both of
these machines very closely for sev
eral hours; I examined many rows
of cotton, to see if the machine was,
in any instance doing injury to the
growing plant. I saw no injury. 1
'alked with a number of prominent
native farmers who had come to see
this demonstration; all said the pick
er 'had come to stay. The only
criticism I heard was that the ma
chine picked too much green leaf;
this, however, is admitted, I believe,
by the owners, that I was told that
the company has an invention to be
attached to the picker, which will
eradicate this leaf, and deliver cot
ton as free from leaf and other forme
of trash as the human picker does.
"I go back for a moment to the
demonstration at Mesquite; the cot
ton picker at this was loaded in sev
eral wagons, these carfully inspect
ed and labelled by our crowd the
drivers were then directed to go

fertilizer business in this section has
begun in earnest, and .the prospective
amount to be handled by the B. &
B. R; R. promises to be very heavy,
the rush is on and will continue now
for some time. ? . .
The unusual fine weather for this
season' of the year has given an im
petus to farm work in general and
much ploughing Is being done in the
way of preparation for another crop.
The heavy production of last
year's corn crop will stimulate some
extra exertion among many of the
farmers of this section to Increased
yields of this staple grain .and the
indications point to no little rivalry
along this line. An abundant supply
of corn carry as a rule many hogs to
the slaughter.pen and this is the rec
ord hereabout this winter. It is
safe to state that more fat hogs have
been slaughtered in this section of
the county than ever before in its
history and quite a number still left,
ready for 'he knife.
Mr. J. Ciifton Evans visited Or
angeburg yesterday afternoon in his
touring car, Miss Ruble Evans, his
sister, accompanying him after spend
ing the day with her parents here.
Miss Evans is engaged in office work
for her cousin, Jos. A. Berry, Esq.,
of Orangeburg. Mrs. O. P. Evans
accompanied the party going and re
turning. A trained nurse for Mrs.
A. Z. Smith, who is quite ill, was
secured and also returned with the
party.
The R. P. D. boys have had their
hands full delivering mail the pasi.
week, an unusual amount going out
of the office almost dally, necessitat
ing somewhat of a delay in handling
the mail on the several routes going
out of Bowman. Carrier on No. 1 ex
ceeded the 5000 pieces on his trip
for some months and according to
department rules does not count any
more, No. i is gaining along th}3 line
and hopes to be soon in the same
shape, Nos. 2 and 3 have gained also
and are desirous of getting In line
also.
The postoffice Is being splendidly
managed by the efficient postmistress,
Mrs. L. H. Fair, and is ably assisted
by Capt. S. A. Fair, who is well
posted In the business. The increase
in the money order business has been
remarkable and the entire work is
done with the dispatch notwithstand
ing the heavy increase of the business
in general.
Miss 'Daisy Utsey is at home again
after an extended visit to friends in

Supt. C. J. Rast of the Bowman
High School spent Saturday at Or
angeburg. He is a member also of
the County Board of Education and
speaks very encouragingly of the
bright prospects of an Increased en
ergetic disposition on the part of the
boys for another contest In the pro
duction of corn this year. This is a
good piece of work and too much
stress cannot be put upon it.
Mr. W. J. Whetsell, who recently
moved back to Bowman, says he in
tends to "3tretch every nerve" in an
effort to make a yield of 200 or more
bushels of corn per acre on one or
more acres .fchis, year. Willie is game
when he "sets his head" and if he
fails it will not be for the lack of
trying, and that hard too.

through the country to Daiias; and
there take the cotton to the largest
plant of the Murray Ginning Co. We
arrived at the gin about the same
time the wagons got there. The cot
ton wagons were driven under the
suction pipes, which take the cotton
to the cleaner, thence to the gin, and
on to the press; we saw the whole
operation. In a very few minutes,
the cotton bale was delivered on a
platform just outside of the gin
house; our party cut it In many
places, took samples and each gave
his idea of the grade;- the concensus
of opinion was that the bale classed
strick middling, New York classifi
cation.
"We spent two days at Dallas,
then took a suburban car, went to
Dnlworth, where we witnessed an
other demonstration of the Price
Campbell machine; this deraonstrar
tion was not different from what we
had seen at Mesquite and Dallas; It
was just as successful in every re
spect.. Will state that the demon
stration at Dawlorth was on a'field,
the exact spot where Jesse James
robbed a stage coach. This Is evolu
tion on typical of that section?
from the 'icene of stage coach rob
bery to mechanical cotton picking.
The latter seems destined to do that
country more good than the former
did harm."
"Buster Brown" Coming.
"Buster Brown," whose name Is a
household word almost all over the
world will come to the Academy of
Music on Friday, Jan. 27th, and it is
hailed with delight and one grand
exhilarating hurrah, for he comes this
season with a splendidly equipped
and new edition of the always pop
ular musical comedy of the same
name, "Buster Brown" which is al
ways a success with a capital S.
This season the play has been revised
and equipped with an entirely new
scenic dress, new and elaborate cos
tumes, together with popular songs
that are the latest and new music
throughout. The cast, which is
headed by Master Harold as "Bus
ter," and Al Brady as "Tige," is
said to be by far the best of any one
of the many seen in the comedy.
"Buster" needs no introduction, his
face is too well known and the mirth
provoking elements of the play have
been too thoroughly tried.

The tragic death of Pinckney Be

doubt carried it on his person when
he went out.
The season of the deadly hot sup

man going around with two pistols
shows how lax our pistol toting law
is enforced.
