Ben Lofton escaped from the chaingang
last Saturday. He had escaped
several times previously, and the guards
put shackles on him, but as the shackles
hurt his ankles, Supervisor Kearse took
them off. In reward for this kindness
Ben took advantage of the first opportunity
to get away. He went to Norway,
and induced a Mr. Phiilips to pay his fine.
We understand that Guard Hughes went
to Norway Tuesday and received the fine,
so the county now has no claim on Ben's
person.

A Model Ginnery. t
We had the pleasure a few days t
ago of inspecting Col. J. F. Folk's c
new ginnery, which opened up for c
business last Saturday. His gins
have been steadily running since 1
that time aud lots of the fleecy staple f
has been ginned and packed 1
The outfit consists of a fifty c
horse power engine, three of the t
Daniel Pratt Co.'s latest and most 2
improved gins (being the pneumatic 2
system complete), a square bale 2
press, aud the Lowry round bale c
press. The cotton is not handled
at all, being unloaded from the
wagon by a suction pipe and carried e
direct to the gins. After it is <
ginned, the cotton is carried direct s
to the press by the same system of ?
pipes. There is also a large cotton I
room, where parties can store cotton *
during a rush. This room has the ?
pneumatic pipe running from it to 1
the gin, so there is no handling of c
seed cotton at all, which is a saving 1
of much time and labor. The gins 1
have seventy s&ws each, and a man *
can drive his cotton under the sue- 1
tion pipej and by the time it is
unloaded he can drive his wagon J
around to the other side and get 1
his bale of cotton aud seed, as the 1
cotton is distributed automatically 1
to all three gins. This makes it 5
possible for customers to be served | *

the outfit is thirty-five to forty 1
bales per day, oue does not have to \

Takes Another Man's Wife. I
A few weeks ago a man named
Kennedy came to Bamberg, selling ?
lightning rods, being employed by a (
Mr.Etheredge. He stopped at the {
Cope House for several days, and (
told parties here that he had been i
stricken with typhoid fever while at
North. From there he had gone to 5
Columbia, and had boarded with ^
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Price, and that
Mrs. Price had been very kind in
nursing him while sick. Mr. Price
formerly lived at Bamberg, and has
relatives here, being a brother of
Mr. E. B. Price, 1
About a week after Kennedy's (
"arrival, Mr. and Mrs, Price, with [
their little son, came.here to live, ,
the reason for their coming being <
that Mr. Price had been promised a ]
position. They went to board with
Mr. M. B. Varn. Mrs. Price was
agent for some silverware concern,
and she and Kennedy traveled ^
around the country several days to- 5
gether, in a buggy, he selling light- ]
ning rods, and she silverware. <
Last Friday night Kennedy drove (
up to Mr. Varn's and carried Mrs. 1
Price and her little son to the de- 1
pot, sent the horse and buggy (which
was the property of Mr. Etheredge), {
back to Jones Bros', stable by a ne* [
gro, and they all left on the 8:20
train, going toward Augusta, He 1
stated before going away that there 1
was nothing criminal in his relations
with'the woman, but that they

were going to some point auu open

.a Session Expected.
rTOX, Sept. 12.?Talk of
;sion of Congress has
I uteti revived recently, but Senator
McLauriu of South Carolina, who
was seen by the Post reporter as he
was leaving the White House to-day,
does not believe there is any foundation
for the rumors.
! "I do not expect any extra ses[
sion," said he. "Nothing has come
[ from an official source which would
j. in any way indicate that the Presi
dent contemplates such action/*
Senator McLanrin says, however,
that Congress, when it does meet,
ought to get to work as promptly as
. possible, because it will have an ,
[ unusual number of important ques:
tions to consider. ; * i
"If the war in the Philippines is (
still in progress," said he, "we will
have to provide means for its prompt
onnrlnsion. and if it has ended we
will have 'he future disposition of
the islands to discuss. The people
of my State are very much divided
on the policy of the Administration
, regarding the islands, but the gen,
eral consensus of opjniQii is that, us ;
we have got into the situation, we :
have got to stay. We cannot afford ;
to retreat now. Whatever may have
been the propriety of getting into <
j the Philippine war we must see it i
settled with honor tq our country.
, If the war continues it will be a
; political issue, but if it ends I j
doubt whether the question of the!
permanent retention of the islands |
will figure so largely in the next;
campaign. The trouble with all of j
us is that we lack information. 1 j
confess that is the great trouble!
with me.
1 "If our people are not talking
? much now about silver," added I
Senator McLauiin, -fit is because we
regard the position of the Demo-j
, cratic party oq thai matter us set- j
J tied. The financial plank of the ]
Chicago platform will be reatnrmea
at the next National Convention,
J ami South Carolina will send a
" j Bryan delegation to the Convention, j
! There is no opposition tp him in
1 the State.*'

Through the kindness of Gen.
[Bamberg in loaning us tho money,
md the liberality of Col, Counts in
jelling us the property at a very
ow figure, we have been enabled to
secure titles to the building formerly
ised bv the Bamberg Classical Insti-1
ute, and the free school for white
children will open there next M011lay
morning at 9 o'clock.
Necessary repairs and improve nents
in the building and 011 the
pounds have been made, or will be
liade within a few days, all the
>id school furniture contained in
he building has been overhauled
aid repaired, and new desks for sixty
idditional pupils have been ordered
md will probably arrive before the
pening of the school.
Great care has been exercised in
establishing the grades so as to form
asy steps from the lowest primary
ilass to the college course, the
successful completion of the eighth
jrade beiug sufficient to enter a
>upil into the Freshman class of
tny college in the State. Only nine
jrades will be taught, thus ad vaneng
pupils to the college Sophomore
;lass. Pupils desiring more adranced
instruction can make ar anorements
with the teachers to
:ake private lessons outside of
egular school hours.
It is the object of teachers and
irustees to make this a graded school
n every sense of the word, so they
3ave decided to drop high soundings
lames and let it be known simply
is the Bamberg Graded School?a
school for the children of Bamberg
school distriot, where the rich and
the poor will receive equal attention,
md where Baptist, Methodist,
Presbyterian, nor any other denomination
shall be known one above
the other.
The outlook, aside from lack of
sufficient funds, is most encouraging,
md we earnestly solicit the support
md encouragement of every true
3itizen of Bamberg in making the
school what it should be.
Arrangements for the colored
schools will be made in the near
future.

Music was furnished by the Allenlale

Ehrhardt, Sept, 11, 1899.
The October Number of The Delineator
is called the Autumn number, and contains,
in addition to an exhaustive analysis
ot the season's most approved modes
in every department of fashionable arts,
with special articles on allied topics and
"the usual potpourri of social and household
discussions, a variety of literary features
of exceptional quality and interest.
A weird, mystical tale of a faithful, lingering
lover is The Blue Man, by Mary
Hartweli Cntherwood, a tragic story of the
region of the great lakes. Mme. Louisa
Cappiani contributes to this number a
classic, authoritative article on The Singing
Voice. The romantically inclined
will delight in the eery devices and
tests prescribed in The Fateful Night of
Halloween, by Elizabeth T. Nash. Of
distinct home interest are the domestic
subjects: The Value of Good Cooking, by
Eleanor M. Lucas; Mid-Season Desserts,
by Kathcrine B. Johnson; and Table
Mhnncrs and Etiquette, by Edna S. Witherspoon.
The regular Departments are
characterized by the usual abundance of
crisp, practical information.
A special to the News and
Courier from Barnwell says: "The
bondsmen and heirs-at-law of the
late A. F. Free, treasurer, have
reached a satisfactory adjustment by
which all the property of his estate
is turned oyer to cover the shortage,
except a homestead for the widow,

Every farmer in the county should
plant a few acres in wheat and oats
this f^ll. They should not wait too
long gbout preparing their land
and putting the seed in the ground.
Then, for a spring crop, we advise
the planting of about live acres of
tobacco, fiye in cotton, as much
more in corn, peas, rice, potatoes,
sugar cane, etc. as can be well cultivated.
This is understood for a
one-horse crop. There is no real
re.as.ou >yhy oip- people) should continue
so "hard up." We fully ap
},?eciate the fact that "newspaper"
! farming is a humbug, and that is
jfareasiey. to preach money into a
crop than to work it out. Yet, we
have faith in diversification to bring
! decided relief to many one-crop
farmers* ?

The Theatre From the Inside.
That there are five thousand theatres
in America, and that one million and a
half people attend them each week-day ,
night, spending seventy millions
dollars a year on theatre-going, are
the surprising facts with which Mr.
Franklin Fyles, the dramatic editor of
New York Suny will open an important
series in the next issue of The Ladies'
Home Journal. The series will be called 1
"The Theatre and Its People," and will !
run through seven numbers of the maca- (
zine, lavishly illustrated with pictures
made by twelve different artists. The
articles will treat of every phase of the
theatre, the play and the actor, from the
inside, and will tell how a theatre is man- (
aged; the actual money which plays have
made; liow an actor is trained and
what the actors are actually paid; how a
play is written and what the authors receive;
how a play is rehearsed; the first
night of a play; how the actresses "make
up" and what they use; and in a minute 1
way the two last articles will show what
goes on "behind the scenes on the stage
during the performance. It is a curious
fact that this will be the first time that ;
the theatre and the actor have ever been
exhaustively treated in a magazine, and
that there is no book on the subject in
existence. The Ladies Home Journal,
