Town Chain Gang. Some people do not seem to un derstand why the county chain-ganj works the streets of Bamberg, an* in order that they may be enlight Ened we publish the law on th subject. It will be seen by th terms of this Act that the Count; Supervisor has no choice in the mat ter, and where criminals convictet by the town authorities are sen to his gang to serve their sentences he must receive them, and give th> town the same number of days work that he receives from sucl convicts. The number of criminals sen tenced by the Mayor of Bamberg ii not sufficient to warrant the ex pense of hiring a guard and havinf them serve their sentence on th< streets, so all offenders are sent t< :he county chain-gang, and then th< 2otmty gang returns to the towi the same number of days' work thai they receive. The Act was approved by th< governor February 21, 1898, anc section 1 reads as follows. "Whenever any town or munici pal authority in this State have noi i sufficient number of convicts sen tenced to work on the public worki )f the town to warrant the ex pens* if maintaining a town chain-gang the town authorities of said towi shall be authorized to place saic convicts on the county chain-gang for the time so sentenced, and tlx xmnty authorities of the county ii which said town is situated shall b< authorized and empowered to ex change labor with said town author [ties and place county convicts Q? the public works of the towi for the same number of days tha town convicts work on the publii works of the county, One Minute Cough Cute quickly cure obstinate summer coughs and colds k*l consider it a most wonderful medicine ?quick and safe."?W.

C., August 25, 1S99. ), Editor Bambkro Hicrai/d:?There >1 has been various statements made in con> flection with the arrest of the Special Constable Miley, of Georgia, by Mr. Willi liams, and comments made by parties 11 who are in posession only of portions of - the facts as to my connection with the e Williams case, and in order that the pube lie may be informed as to what I advised or said in connection with the' case, I !. herewith hand you copy of the affidavit 1, which I made before Capt. C. E. Sawyer, ? the Solicitor, who is investigating the 0 matter. Respectfully, 1. S. G. MAYFIKLD. 1 s AFFIDAVIT. q Before me personally comes S. G. Mayfield, who being duly sworn, deposes and 1 says: i. That shortly after July 13th on ar rival at his office deponent was called up0 011 by G. W. M. Williams, Jr., who rev quested that deponent come over to his 3 father's office immediately, to which de'? ponent replied that he was very busy, 6 but that it it was a matter of importance S he would be there directly, that shortly afterwards deponent was again called upon and again requested to go over, whereupon deponent walked over to the office - of G. W. M. Williams, Sr., and found (l there a gentleman who was introduced as r a Mr. Miley from Georgia, with a state, ment that certain papers were placed in Mr. Miley's hands, and they desired to 1 know as to the regularity of the papers; 11 Mr. Miley handed me the papers and I j. looked over them and found all regular until I reached one purporting to be signed by Gov. W. H. Ellerbe; I informed n the constable that the papers were in _ even* way regular except that the name j. of Gov. Ellerbe had been written by his private secretary, Mr. W. Boyd Evans; that I supposed that it arose during the f governor's illness and that Mr. Evans S supposed that he had the authority under the direction and at the request of the governor to affix the signature of the governor to the paper; that in my judgetl ment as a lawver. a private secretary did r. not have such authority, as the constitu[j tion of South Carolina devolved that duty upon the governor of the State, but that our s constitution of i S95 was new and that I pre sunied that this matter had been overlooked, and that neither the private secretary's nor Gov. Ellerbe's attention had been called to the matter; hence the mistake. Section 9, article 4, of the consti? tution provides: "In case of the temporary 3 disability of the governor the lieutenant _ governor shall perform the duties of the governor;" Mr. Miley asked me what was to be done and I suggested that he e send the requisition back to Governor y Candler with the statement as aforesaid _ and to give the governor my name as the ] one who had so advised him, and that I I had no doubt, upon his sending the re' uisition papers back to his excellency, , Gov. McSweeney, that his excellency e being familiar with Gov. Ellerbe's hand> writing, would perceive at a glance that the paper had not been executed by Gov. 1 Ellerbe and that new papers would be granted; that I directecf Mr. Miley and - had him to make notes so as to guide him in writing Gov. Candler; that thereupon s I left Mr. Williams and Constable Miley together in the office and came on about I my general duties. s 3 2. That shortly afterwards I left home , ) and had been absent for some days but ' ! upon coming in from Boiling Springs Camp Ground by the F. C. and P. mid1 day train I learned that Constable Miley 1 t and another had been arrested 011 a war- ( rant sworn out by G. W. M. Williams J 3 and that Mr. Williams had used a shotr gun by way of terrorizing the constables 1 and was then at large and had not then been arrested. ' 3. That I neither advised Mr. Wil- ! t liams as a lawyer, nor to resist arrest; that in going to his office I did it simply , on request, not knowing, what I was 1 5 wanted for and not knowing, as is now - claimed by the constable in his report to , Gov. McSweeney, that the marshal of , , Denmark had arrested G. W. M. Wil < liams. 1 4. That Prof. Conner of Clemson Colj lege spent the night with me on the night 2 of that day, Thursday, and while sitting 1 upon my piazza a buggy drove in front of a gate and Mr. Hardy Tant came to the gate " and called me out; I was informed by Mr. " Tant that Mr. Williams wanted to see me - in regard to his case and that I could go ! \yith him; I declined this invitation and stated to Mr. Tant and requested him to state to Mr. Williams that I had not been t at any time connected with the various C suits 111 which the said G. W. M. Wil* liams was engaged, nor did I approve of his haying arrested the special constable . from Georgia 011 a charge of forgery, as s Mr. Williams well knew that the error was made by the private secretary signing the governor's name and for which ' tbe special constable was in no way responsible; Mr. Tant then left me and I saw him 110 more. 5. That on the next day, Friday, as 1 I was going to take the 4 o'clock F. C. 1 and P. train for the camp ground with C Prof. Conner I was met by Mr, Dock' ,, Kemp and handed me "a note which proved to be from \Villiams; in said note lie e urged me to take charge of his case and e to make a fight for him by taking out an S injunction preventing service of the old papers, as he termed them, upon him; to ' this note J replied by a letter which I ; gaye to Mr. Kemp, stating hi substance that an injunction would do him 110 good, 2 for if it should be sustained the governor of this vState would issue a new requisition and that the only way out of his diflficul;| ty w;as for hint to abide the sentence of the court of Georgia bv paving the fine or serving the sentence, and that I was go-. ' ing to leave in a few moments for Boiling Springs where I had heeu spending some l' time lor my health, Since this time I have neither seen nor had any communication with r>Ir. Williams and know nothing of his whereabouts, nor of his plans. 6. That I gave the advice in Mr. Williams's office to the constable upon the request of Mr. Williams and without the constable making any statement other P than that they both wished to know how ; the matter stood; I here reassert that the signature to the paper was' iiof of , Gov. Ellerbe and-that deponent lias in l ids posession documents signed by the |. lamented Gov. Ellerbe and knows well his signature, but that the document was 1 signed by the private secretary of the governor, both in attesting it and in the i signing of Gov. Ellerbe's name; and that i ? deponent gave advice with' no view- of helping Mr. Williams escape or in aiding * Irim in any way; but' upon the request t of Mr.'Williams in the presence of the special constable and in accordance with what deponent believes to be tlie law of the State; that he is still of the opinion that the paper is void because the genuine 5 signature of Gov. KHerbe has not been . attached ' That deponent declares that he is neither now nor has he at any time been 1 , the attorney of Mr. Williams", nor has he ^ given any comfort in his escape from the I hands ofThe officers of the law, nor does i lie uphold Mr. Williams in having inno- i . cent parties charged with fogery, when 1 p said Williams well knew that the signa- 4 Lure to these papers had been affixed by the private secretary of Gov.

Me Sweeney, upon the receipt of Solicitor Sawyers* report a few days ago, removed the magistrates who figured in the Williams extradition case, he requested the legislative delegation from Bamberg county to recommend suitable men to succeed those whose official heads had been chopped off. Yesterday Senator Maytield and Representative Crum of the delegation arrived in the city and consulted with the governor about the matter. The upshot of it was that last night Gov. McSweeney announced the appointment of Eugene T, Lafitte as magistrate at Denmark, vice Ray removed, and L. L. Lancaster at Govan, vice Kennedy, removed.?The ' State, Tuesday, Sept. 5th. A Sad Death. Last Thursday morning the spirit of yout g Samuel C. Millions took its ever'asling flight into the presence of Its God. He was taken sickin Atlanta, but came home to his father's near this place before he got past traveling, and it was a great satisfaction to his family, relatives and friends to have him home with them during his sickness, where they could nurse him and see that he had every attention. But notwithstanding the faithful and skillful treatment of Drs. Barton and Black and the tender, lovins nursing of loved ones, yet that dffead disease, typhoid fever, had seized him with a relentless gulp and would yield to 110 treatment. He was buried at the family burial ground near his home last Friday morning in the presence of a large crowd of sympathetic friends and relatives. The writer conductted the burial services. This young man was nearlythrough a business course in an Atlanta business College, when he was taken ill and had to come home. His moral character must have been exceptionally good, for it was the subject of many remarks by numbers of our best people. He seemed to have been a favorite among his teachers and school mates, as quite a number of very complimentary and consoling letters came to him and the family during his illness. He was 25 years, 5 months, and 2 days old when lie died. He left a mother and father and some brothers and sisters and a number of relatives and friends to mourn over his departure, but they are not left to sorrow as those who have no hope. Sometime before he died he told his father calmly and deliberately that he was in a bad fix and would have to go, "But" said he "it is all right, I am notafraid to die.' "In the midst of life we are in death." This was a young man just ready to launch upon life's tempestuous sea for himself wheu God took him. Think of that, young men of Bamberg. But God makes no mistakes. . He knows what is best. He doeth all things well, "All things worktogether for good to them that iove God." May great#grace and strength be upon the grief stricken family.
