The prosecution was rep1 resented by H. Spann Dowling, Esq. The defense had no lawyer. All the parties formerly lived on Mr. W. S Bamberg's plantation, where the alleged crime was committed. After hearing the evidence, the magistrate sent Wright to jail to await the action of the grand jury. The Denmark Graded School has been closed on account of the small-pox scare and the teachers have gone to their homes. Many of the citizens have refugeed to the country with their families, and everyone shuns the plague spot. Had the town authorities adopted drastic measures at the outset of the epidemic, and promptly quarantined infested houses and persons, instead of trying to deceive the people, the disease would have been as easily controlled, and business would have suffered as little as it has in Bamberg and other up-to-date town and cities.

Ste er? X igger?Dog. It was funnier than a circus, at least that's what people said about the first act, although the finale had an element of tragic ferocity about it that was quite soul-terrifying. The time was Thursday last, the place right here in Bamberg, the actors a maddened steer, a frightened negro, and Mr. J. A. Vernon's brindled bulldog, "Fitzkugh Lee," the audience every man, woman, and child that could get to see the performance. The steer was the property of Mr. G. Frank Bamberg, and the negro was leading it up the street by means of a rope fastened about the brute's horns. At Major Hays's corner the beeve became obstreperous, and when the negro tried to quiet it down, madt* a sudden break and dashed up Main street at breakneck speed. The negro clung to the rope, his coat-tails standing straight out behind him, and his number ten shoes hitting the ground only iu high places. At Folk's corner someone tried to head the runaway, and the rope slackened, whereupon the negro let go his hold, and the steer dashed out Railroad avenue, head down and tail in the air at a speed that would have put a two-minute horse to the blush. Up one street and down the oiher the brute dashed and everyl>ody religiously stepped aside to give it the right of way. At the corner of Church and Main streets the steer met its match. Fitzhugh Lee appeared upon the scene, and at a word from his master seized the brute by the nose and threw it to the ground, but i Fitz'shold broke loose and the steer scram-1 >.wt tr> i?? f#?Pt Then thev had it catch-1 as-catch-can, with the odds in favor of Fitz. Finally his teeth closed through the steer's right ear and there he clung iikea euckle-burr to a calf's tail. A ainly the steer tried to shake the canine member loose. Fitz wouhLnot be shook. The steer dashed up Main street, bellowing frantically and shaking its head. Fitz clung to t he ear like the old Man of the Mountain to Sinbad's back. Finally the steer fell exhausted in front of the postoffice. By this time the audience found courage to invade the stage, the dog's hold was broken loose and the steer, finding itself once more at liberty, made for the swamps. *'Only Playing." That's what Purvis Nimmons and Ben Black both contended last Friday, when thev slashed each other with their knives on Main street opposite The Bamberg Herald office. It was aliout half-past three o'clock and Purvis was walking along the sidewalk, when Ben, who had an open knife in his hand, made a viscious slash at Nimmons's liack. The ; latter sprang out of the way, whipped his own tobacco cutter from his pocket, and the two came together. The arms of both men rose and fell once, with murderous force, and the "play" was over, t Black had a gash in his left arm just below the slioulder that cut to the bone, narrowly missing the big artery, which : would have lieen death; Nimmons had his vest cut from his body and the knife made a four inch gash in his right breast, a lit; tic more than skin deep. He threw up > his right hand to protect himself and the -' blade glancing down penetrated the wrist ': to the bone. i; Dr. B. D. Bronson and Druggist A. C.

Folk had the misfortune to puncture one of his hands with a twenty-penny nail last Thurs e day, inflicting an exceedingly painful wound, from the effects of which, however, he is happily recovering as j rapidly as could be expected. He was at work under his mill and e gin house tightening some bolts, - when the monkey wrench he was us' ing slipped and he was precipitated backwards.

An Ail-Around Thief. 1 Jasper Nelson is a very slick dar J key and an all-around thief. Heal. ways carries a covered basket, and ; 1 the tales that innocent looking bas: ket could tell are "a plenty." Jasper is now at work ou the chain-gang and will continue to labor for the ' benefit of the county for J 20 days, ! 1 dating from Saturday last. Magis- { trale Ray sent him there on four { I counts for larceny. Last summer .Jasper made love to the watch of another darkey, named Percy Williams. Saturday the latter ran up on Jasper and gave him 4 the tripartite alternative of return- j ing the watch, making ah equitable . settlement for purloining it, or going to the chain gang. Jasper decided on a "settlement," and as an earnest of his intentions, got Allen flhifihnlm. for whom he wad working, * to pay Williams one dollar on ac- J count. Then the versatile and light- . fingered Jasper set forth to make tip the balance. He carried his cover- j ed basket on his arm. First, he vis- r ited the store of Mr. H. C. Folk, e from which he abstracted a fine coat 0 and vest; he topped these garments with a cap at Mr. Aaron Rice's; added another vest to his wardrobe at (| Mr. C. K, Brabham's, and continuing to the store of Mr. J. A. Spann tucked away two ladies' capes and two merino undershirts in his basket. ? He turned these goods over to a Williams in settlement for the stolen J watch, and. when the latter began u to offer the articles for sale, both j} men were arrested. Nelson was j given 120 days on the chain-gang; |j Williams was held as an accessory to the crimes. The latter was after- w wards discharged. M p Failed-to Convert the Mormons. s William Yancey Smoak, whose s? departure for Utah, on a mission to t, convert the Mormons to the true t faith, was chronicled in these col- h uinns some time since, has returned d from the seat of his missionary la- 0 hors, and is now in jail here, await- ?' ing the action of a commission in fi lunacy. Mr. Smoak returned from _ Utah in the early part of last week, thoroughly disgusted with Mormonland and the Mormons. Upon arriving home he established a camp in the swamp uear his home, J1 and, forcing his wife to accompany . him, began a sort of dual service 1 protest against the evils of polyga- J mous matrimony. Tuesday his fj i- A i If A XT UmAoi* 1 orouier. lHiigistmic . i > uiuvun^ came to Bamberg and instituted Jlunacy proceedings against the Mor- " niou crusader. Deputy Sheriff Fel- a der Hunter was given the warrant 1 I O .. for the demented man's arrest. Ar " riving Tuesday night in the vicinity P of Mr Smoak's home, he summoned . Magistrate Smoak's constable to as- ? sist him in making the arrest. The latter declined, and the deputy sheriff was obliged to summon a posse to assist him in arresting Mr. Smoak. To Stamp Out Smallpox. Bamberg, within the past week* \ has developed two more cases of d smallpox, but the city authorities* and the board of health have proven t] equal to the occasion and have adop- tl ted drastic measures to stamp out a | the loathsome disease. The board J1 of health at a meeting 011 Tuesday M decided to enforce compulsory vac- 0 cinatiou, and a pest house was or- b dered established, in which to isolate ^ and treat any cases that may develop. Dr. J. F. Baggot was elected smallpox physician, he being an immune, and will probably have charge of the compulsory vaccina- c, tion which will begin to-day. Per- c sons unable to pay for the service a will be inoculated free of charge, but everybody, not already vaccinated, within the corporate limits, must be - - * ^ r vaccinated at once, a great uimiy ^ people have voluntarily submitted to the vaccine point, and Dr. B. D. Bronson and his assistaut, Mr. A.C. e Keynolds, have inoculated over one " hundred patients during the past \ week. Late yesterday afternoon \ the old "Marv Jones House," on the t edge of the cypress swamp below v Colonel T. HjCounts's residence was 11 selected as a pest house, and it will v be immediately fitted up for the re- I ception of patients. On Friday last Miss Cornelia Barton, daughter of Dr. D. W. Barton, was stricken with the disease. The r l>oard of health met Saturday, when c it was definitely determined that it was smallpox, and Dr. Barton's r house and family promptly quaran- c tined. ? Monday, John Minninger, a negro 1 employe at the freight depot, was * taken down, and Dr. Baggot is at- 1 tending him. The same precautions were taken in this case as in the ^ (other, and, if the malady spreads in I Bamberg it. will not be because every endeavor has not been made to stamp ' it out. ( With the adveutof the rigid health 1 regulations above enumerated, our ' citizens feel perfectly secure, and 5 strangers are as free from possible contagion when they visit our city as they would be were there no 1 smallpox here. L. T. Travis, Agent Southern R. R.. Selina, Ga., writes, "I cannot say too much in praise of One Minute Cough Cure. In my case it worked like a ( charm." The only harmless remedy that : gives immediate results. Cures coughs, colds, croup, bronchitis, and all throat and lung troubles. Bamberg Pharmacy. . The Engineer was Asleep. Engineer Butler, of Augusta, for merlv an employee of the Charlestoi and Western Carolina railroad, but now running the through freight on the Atlantic Coast Line, between Augusta and Florence, was, accord o ing to his own admission, asleep Saturday morning when his train reached Denmark, and therefore responsible for a wreck at the crossing of the Coast Line's tracks and those of the Southern railway. Engineer Butler has recently been assigned to this run, it being numbered 212. At Denmark the tracks of the ('oast Line crosses the F. C. and P. and Southern within 300 yards of eacli other. The crossing at the Florida Central and Peninsular is an ordinary one, but at the Southern a "derailing switch" is used which must be adjusted by an operator stationed there for the purpose, who, at a signal from the whistle of the engine, adjusts the rails. This is done to compel all trains to stop. Those who saw the aceidentsay that Engineer Butler did not stop at the Florida, Central and Peninsular crossing, neither did he blow any n'gnal as he approached the Southern, and the consequence is that his engine jumped the track, turned completely over, and fell upon its back, at the bottom of a ten-foot em hank men (, and eight box cars svere partially wrecking. The passenger trains to and from Augusta )ti both roads were delayed several lours, but the wrecking train from Florence was I rouglit speedily to ;he scene, and its crew worked hard o clear the tracks.

We have built up our business'upon the principle that a dissatisfied customer is the worst kind of advertising we can do. We have no dissatisfied customers. If any man who buys from us thinks he is dissatisfied, we buy the goods buck and give:him his money, and he is just where he was before. This would be a ruinous policy for us if we were not selling stock so good that few people want their money back. Our goods arc worth more to the people who buy them than the price they pay. We guarantee every thing we sell to be as represented. We make our guarantee not because we think the people will want their money back, but because we know they won't. This is the way we have built our business, and that is why we are selling more Horses, Mules, Buggies, Wagons, Harness, etc., than any house in this part of the State. A LOOK is appreciated, and we do our best to please you. Let us quote you prices before you buy. ^ 1-^1^ a twtiz n a n/rnnnrv U. FHAINIV BAiVlDi^KU, BAMBERG, S. C. $15000 for Bamberg.
