The best is always the cheapest, and
that's why people subscribe and pay for
The Bambkkg Herald. It gives more
news than other papers, and the people
of Bamberg county appreciate the fact.
There was only one public sale last

There is a case * of smallpox at Denmark,
at the Ellzey hotel, and we understand
there are other cases there as well.
The house has been quarantined, and the
town council is enforcing compulsory
vaccination. We earnestly advise everybody
in Bamberg to be vaccinated at
once, as the disease is prevalent in many
sections of the county.
Note the change in the advertisement
of G. Frank Bamberg. He is a hustlinc,
up-to-date young man. He used the entire
first page of this paper to make
the announcement for the opening of his
fall business, and as a result be says be
has sold more horses and mules than the
balance of the town, notwithstanding the
fact that there are three other stables
here in full blast. "Advertise what you
l?aye and have what you advertise," he
declares as his policy. Another load to
arrive next Monday.
On account of the poor mail facilities
for the people in the lower part of the

It will be remembered that at the *
July term of court, Judge J. C.
Klugh presiding, the grand jury
pres^uted a true bill in the case of (!
the State vs J. H. Smith, declaring ,
the Howell's mill pond, of which a
he is the owner, a public nuisance, '
and prejudicial to the health of the j
neighborhood. The case was to have ]

of the court, but went over. Dr. S.
P. Rentz, of Hunter's Chapel, signed
a petition to have the nuisance
abated. Afterwards R. J. Steed- <
ley, of the same section, made an 1
affidavit reflecting on the personal ]
character of the doctor. Neither 1
affidavit has been put on record yet 1
in open court. 1
In some manner Dr. Rentz learned
of the character of Mr. Steedley's
affidavit, and he immediately swore
out a warrant charging him with J
perjury. The case has beeu up for
trial twice before Magistrate N. B. i
Smoak. The first time it was post- i
poned on account of the absence of a '
material witness. The second time, <
on Saturday, December 30th, when <
the case was called, the defendant ;
waived a preliminary examination
and gave bond for bis appearance at !
the April term of court.

Important Cotton Mill Changes.
Mr. W. G. Smith, of the cotton
mill, who for months past has been
a sort of executive Poo-Bah in that :
manufactory has rearranged his staff
of assistants, and believes that the
changes will be greatly conducive to
the future welfare and well being
of the mill. The changes went into
effect the first of the new year.
Mr. Smith retains the dual position
of secretary and treasurer, and
the superintendeucy falls to the lot
of Mr. J. L. Eddleman, who has
had wide experience in textile work,
and comes direct from the famous'
Enoree Mill, of Enoree, this State.
Mr. C. II. Day, formerly assistant
|superintendent, takes his old position
in charge of the spinning room,
while Messrs. Rhea, master mechanic;
Faucitt, boss weaver, and Kooti
'carder, retain their positions. Mr.
Thomas Whittaker, formerly of the
Edgefield Mill, Edgefield, Si C., bej
comes loom fixer.
Mr. Smith has long had these
changes in contemplation, and now
believes that the affairs of the establishment
he has so long and successfully
managed will move along with
! the smoothness and celerity of a
sledge on u toboggan slide.

Excitement in Town.
Last Thursday night Mr. Fred
Gunnels came to town and spent the
night at the jail with his brother,
who is incarcerated there charged
with the murder of W. G. Grimes.
It is said that his brother's trouble
has worried him considerably, he
having slept little or none since the
occurrence. Those at the jail noticed
that he seemed to be in a veryj
nervous condition Thursday night,
and talked in a rambling and incoherent
manner. Early Friday morning
he went up to Gen. F. M. Bamberg's
residence, and while there.became
perfectly wild and bereft of
his senses. The ladies of the household
were much frightened, and attempts
were made by Gen. Bamberg
and his son Hei.ry to quiet the frantic
man, but they could not. He
finally* etartwl nilr. of fhe house, and
ill doing so run against the General,
knocking him down and bruising
him some. The unfortunate man
then went back to the jail where he
was locked up and an opiate given
him to quiet his nerves. He then
slept until the afternoon, when his
son came in town, took charge of
his father, and carried him home.
It is believed Mr. Gunnels will be
all right in a short time, as mental
worry about his brother, I03S of
sleep, and drinking caused him to
be temporarily deranged. It is said
he has been drinking heavily since
his brother has been in jail.
New Year Changes.
There have been several changes
among the business houses here, and
we regret that some of our best
young men have accepted situations
elsewhere:
Mr. E. M. Mixon goes from C. R.
Brabham's to R. Pearlstine & Sons,
at Branchville. as book-keeper. Mr.
Jennings Cleckly takes his place at
Mr. Brabham's. Mr, Clyde O'Neal
is now with Mr. W. M. Brabham ; he
has formerly been with S. S. Karesh.
Mr. Julian Quattlebauni has gone to
Stillson, Orangeburgcounty, he having
been with Cope & Brabham during
the fall.
The firm of Cope & Brabham has
been dissolved, and Mr. W. M. Brab
ham will continue the business. Mr.
J. H. Cope retires in order to devole
his whole time and attention to
his large farming interests.
Mr. Oscar Simmons goes from J.
A. Spann's to W. M. Brabham.
City Council.
Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock
was the hour for the regular month
ly meeting of the city dads. At the
appointed time council men W. D.
Rhoad, G. Moye Dickinson and G.
Frank Bamberg were called to order
by Mayor Inglis, and the regular
monthly list of unpaid bills was
taken up, considered and ordered
paid, including the salary of Marshal
Price. The total disbursement
footed up less than one hundred dollars.
.
In praiseworthy enterprise, and
with a due regard for the welfare of
the city, $100 was promptly appropriated
to assist in buildiug the new
Bamberg aud Springtown road, ordered
opened by the board of county
commissioners. The sum is held
subject to the order of the commissioners.
If the cost of building the
causeways across Lemon Swamp is
less than $300 council stands pledged
to pay one third of the bill. If
it exceeds that amount the entire
3um appropriated is donated.
J. I. Bevry, Logantou, Pa., writes, "I
am willing to take my oath that I was
cured of Pneumonia entirely by the use
of One Minute Cough Cure after Doctors
failed. It also cured my children of

GUNNELS TALKS.
The Principal Actor in Bainber?
County's Cause Celebrc is Interviewed
By The Herald, and Converses
Freely About Himself.
"I am very, very glad to see you.
I appreciate your visit."
This was the greeting that a rep
resentative of The Bamberg Herald
met with as he stood, with
Acting D. pnty Sheriff Willie Wilj
son. on the outside of the big ironbarred
door that gives entrance to
the cell room of the jail last Monday
afternoon.
Th'e speaker was Daniel T. Gunnels
charged with the murder, on
the Friday before Christmas, atl
Govan, of Willie Grimes. Coincident
with the words above quoted ]
the barred door with a creak and <
rattle thai is peculiar to jails and 1
prisons generally swung open and 1
Gunnels had tiie reporter's hand in
a firm grasp and was cordially inviting
him tc i chair beside the big
stove in the corridor, the freedom
of which he has during the daytime.
Gunnels is by 110 means the typi- ,
cal murderer in appearance. He was
dressed on this occasion in a black
coat and vest, mixed trousers, a soft
black hat and u colorless shirt
of some dark goods. On the ;
back of his coat, on the sleeves, and 1
on his hat were the white smudges
made by jail whitewash, and there
was several days' growth of stubby
beard on his face. Ordinarily he J
wears a heavy brown moustache and <
ministerial looking side whiskers, i
His once brown and abundant hairis
streaked with gray and there are
signs of baldness. But then, Dan (
Gunnels will be 40years of age next j
October; he is a grand-father, and I
during all these years he has never, J
to use his own words: "Hadtrouble j
before, either civil or criminal."
Personally, he is rather prepossessing,
He is 6 feet 2 inches in
UUn " urowv)io/l
UfJ^Ul, liaiciuutw, ntlguwi i/vjlw.v,
this trouble, came upon him 201
pounds, and, on the 29th of next (
October will be 40 years of age. He i
has been married twice; the first 1
time on January 15th, 1883, the result
of which union was a daughter, ]
mairied at the age of 13 years, and
is now a mother herself with a <
daughter eighteen months old. He
was the second time wedded on July
19th, 1888, and his present wife has
bore him three children, a boy of 10,
a girl of 8, and a boy of 3. It is
about these children, his wife and
his farm that he appears most to (
worry. j
"I am sorry, sorry, sorry for the j
man I was forced to kill," he said. <
"If I hadn't killed him he would f
have killed me, and life, when you
have a wife and babies that you love," 1
and here his voice i rem bled and
there was a suspicious moisture in ^
his eves, "is verv sweet. I can't
sleep well nights thinking about
them, for when I left home and vol- ?
untarily came here to Bamberg and f
surrendered to Sheriff Hunter my l
wife was sick." I
"And have you no reproaches of r
conscience?" asked the reporter,
with solemn emphasis.
"Noue in the least!" was the an- j
swer, and the speaker's grayish blue
eyes looked into those of the questioner
frankly. "I am sorry that it
had to be done, for Willie Grimes t
and I were friends aud once I saved t
him from beiug shot when he was *
on just such a rampage as led up to J
this unfortunate difficulty."
"You think you were justified t
then in what you did?" ?
"If I didu't think so I wouldn't
have come in voluntarily and sur- ,
rendered to the Sheriff as soon as I
heard that Willie Grimes was dead.
God knows I had nothing against
him, but I believed my life was in
danger, and what I did I did in
self defeuse. If I hadn't killed him
he would have killed me!"
Gunnels occupies the cell in the
south-eastern corner of the jail and
speaks in the highest terms of the
terms treatment he has received at
the hands of Sheriff Hunter. His
face is a trifle careworn and haggard,
but then, he lo\es his wife and
childreu and he is incessantly worried
about their welfare. He is
anxiously expecting release on bail,
only that he may get back to them.
As for himself, and he declares this
with the most positive emphasis:
"If it were not for my wife and
little ones I wouldn't mind being
here in the least. I was an officer
of the law and I did my duty to the
best of my ability. I never expected
to have to kill a man and
had I foreseeu this difficulty I
wouldn't have taken the place of
marshal of Govan for one hundred
dollars a day salary. 1 believed my ,
life was in danger and I defended
myself. When I heard that I had
killed Willie Grimes I camestraight
here and surrendered to Sheriff Hun- I
ter. If I had thought that the killing?bad
.is it was?was murder, do 1
you think I would have done this?" '
And The Herald representative s
having 110 apt answer to this poin :
ted question hade the accused good- I
bye and again the barred door clank
ed and clanged as he walked forth
to the liberty that Dan Gunnels confidently
believes will be given him
when a jury of his peers shall haveheard
the evidence, pro and con in
the case of The State of South Carolina
vs. Daniel T. Gunnels charged
with the murder of Willie Grimes.
