4 The habit of shooting pistols as a fire
alarm should be stopped, as too many
reckless persons shoot promiscuously at
such a time. Last Wednesday Mr. G.
Frank Bamberg came near being hit by a
; "bullet, and one also found lodgement in
Mr. W. T. Riley's piazza. The town
council should take some action to stop it
, at once.

The Alba Heywood Company.
Arrangements have been made for the
appearance here of Alba Hey wood, the
prince of comedians, and his excellent
company on Saturday evening, the 24th
instant, at the Carlisle Fitting School
hall. Mr. Heywood has during the past
! ten years appeared in all the principal
i towns and cities in the United States and
established a reputation of which he is
justly proud.
He has returned many times to the same
places, always meeting with unqualified
success. From the opening to the elose
of his season he is greeted everywhere
QMth lorore ?nd flplicrhted audiences. The]
reasons for his great success artistically
financially are obvious. His comedy is
always bright and delightfully refreshing,
and while he convulses his audiences
with laughter there is never the faintest
suggestion of coarseness and vulgarity.
His success in securing the very best
artists to support him, his desire to equal
or exceed the promises made in his advertising,
and steadfast determination to "always
keep the confidence of the people."
These principals carefully followed out
have made his name a household word
and a positive guarantee of a first-class
performance.
The following testimonial is from Furman
University, Greenville, S. C., and is
signed by B. E. Geer:
"Nothing but unstinted praise has
reached my ears from those who were present
last night at the entertainment given
by Alba Heywood and his Peerless Company.
I never saw an audience so thoroughly
pleased. If this company ever returns
to Greenville, (as I hope they will)
they will l>e sure of an even larger audi?>m*p
The hi?h moral tone of its mem
hers and the excellence of the performance
make it a pleasure to commend this company
to those who love that which is best
in music and amusement."

Onr Friends.
Among the many visitors to town last
Monday, we noted the following gentlemen,
whom we are always glad to see:
Conrad Ehrhardt and C. R. Clayton, of
Ehrhardt; H. N. Folk, of Folk's Store;
D. O .Hunter, J. G. Rhoad and Dr. S. P.
Rents, of Hartzog; H. B. Breeland,
Bessinger and A. W. Bessinger, of Olar;
L. L. Rice, I. G. Jennings and C. C. EllKey,
of Denmark; Thomas Hutto and Dr.
J. R. McCormack, of Govan; J. C. Breeland,
of Kearse; Dr. E. Kirkland, of Colston
; D. B. Rhoad and G. J. Tucker, of
Farrell's X Roads.
Jim and His Jackass.
Everybody knows% Jim Quattlebaum,
[James D., officially) but everybody hasn't
the honor of knowing Jim's latest purchase,
a genuine Andalusian "Jack" from
the olive-crowned hills of sunny Spain.
This Jack, which will probably be
named in honor of its owner, is thorough
ly foreign, and arrived in a more or less
battered condition on Monday last, by
freight. It don't speak English as yet,
and in order to converse with his new
pet intelligently, Jim is practicing nightly
on the Fitting School campus such labials
as "Etcheley!" "Undeley!" "Vamose!"
and"Vaya!"
Bad Roads.
Complaint has been made to us that the
Cannon's bridge road is in very bad condition,
being well-nigh impassable. It
was also mentioned that the New bridge
road as well as the Binnaker's bridge
highway could stand some improvement,
and we bring this to the attention of the
proper authorities in the hope that it will
result in these thoroughfares being put in
good condition without delay. The trade
of Bamberg should not be allowed to suffer
on account of bad roads.
Col. Counts Burned Out.
Colonel T. J. Connts's fine residence
on Railroad Avenue was totally
destroyed by fire last Wednesday
night, January 31, shortly after
The Bamberg Herald went to
press.
- , __ v;_v _ l
It was coin, tne winu was mgn a^
the time, and it is presumed that the
roof of the building was fired by
sparks from the chiiuney. A negro
woman, in Colonel Counts's yard,
was the first to discover the flames
and give the alarm. At that time
the fire was confined to the immediate
vicinity of the chimney, and a
bucket of water would have extinguished
it. Most of our people being
at supper a rescue party was
slow in gathering, and the flames
spread with great rapidity.
Willing hands turned in to save
the furniture, and most of that on
the lower floor was got out. At one
time the adjoining residence on the
east, belonging to Col. Counts's sonin-law,
Mr. S. H. Saunders, was iu
great danger, but the fire was kept
within bounds and the building
saved.
Col. Counts will not rebuild, and
is living at present in the Saunders
residence. He carried an insurance
of $1,S00 on the dwelling, and the
furniture was protected by a $500
policy.
Country Fun.

"a perfect dream of country fun."
Upwards of fifty couples were
present. There was love making
in the moonlight, a supper, al fresco,
on the lawn, and fireworks?the
remains of Christmas?galore.
Altogether it was a most enjoyable
occasion, and if there is not garnered
from this gathering a good
crop of orange blossoms, with the
accompanying "wedding bells,', it
will be the fault of bashful boys.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
A Former Bamberg County Citizen
Found Dead Near Charleston?Coroner's
Inquest Unable to Establish
the Cause.
The dead body of Mr. William C.
Duensing, a former resident of Midway,
well-known here, was found Tuesday
morning, January 30th. lying along side
the Atlantic Coast Line track at a point
four miles from Charleston, known as the
"Four-mile Curve," which is opposite
Dislier's Pond. The body was claimed by
Mr. Charles Duensing, a brother of the
dead man, who resides at 577$ King St.,
I Charleston. Both brothers were employed
on the day force at the Burton Lumber
Company's plant, above Chicora. After
| work hours Monday afternoon Duensing
was seen riding his wheel towards the
city. He passed Chicora at about 6.10.
At this point his brother, Charles, with
several other employees, boarded a suburban
car and rode to the city. This was
the last seen of Duensing until the discovery
of his dead body by the living
brother, who becoming alarmed because
of William's long absence had gone in
search of him.
The body was found lying face downward
about thirty-five feet from the bicycle,
which was turned southward while
the body was lying in an opposite direction.
On one of the crossties about ten
feet distant from the body, midway between
it and the bicycle was a large
splotch of blood. It may have been possible
that the man's head hit the tie,
which would account for a slight gash
over the right eye. The left leg was
twisted in such a position that it led to
an examination, which proved it to be
broken just above the ankle. No other
bruises or gashes were found. The bicycle
of the dead man was lying on its side,
partly down the slight embankment.
There were no marks or blows on it which
would indicate that it had been struck by
a train, except the fact that the left handle
bar had been buried deep in the sandy
clay. The clothes on the body showed no
signs of having been cut, torn or otherwise
tampered with, and a search resulted ,
in the finding of several wire nails, a
pocket handkerchief and an order. The
hat of the man could be found nowhere. '
Nothing that would throw light upon |
the cause of the unfortunate young man's f
death was develop< d at the inquest held
on Wednesday. An examination of the
skull showed it to be fractured, the result ,
of a blow received about two inches
above the right eye. The right leg was
found to be dislocated and there were numerous
superficial bruises on different ,
parts of the body. It is possible that he
may have been struck by a passing train
and killed, or he may have been murdered.
The mystery will never be solved, it .
is likely. 1
As a mark of respect Carpenter's Union, .
No. 159, visited the remains Wednesday (
night as they lay in Mr. Connelley's undertaking
establishment. The body was
shipped to Midway Thursday morning,
where it was interred in the Duensing
family burial plot, where the dead man's
father and mother lie buried. Mr. Duensing
was twenty-seven years old, and was
to have been married in a few days. The
young lady who was to have been his
wife accompanied the remains to Midway,
and her grief was pathetic in the
extreme. Mr. Duensing was well-known
here, and was universally respected.
There is no better medicine for the babies
than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Its pleasant taste and prompt and effectual
cures make it a favorite with mothers
and small children. It quickly cures
their coughs and colds, preventing pneumonia
or other serious consequences. It

ten9 of thousands of cases without a single
failure as far as we have been able to
learn. It not only cures croup, but when
given as soon as the croupy cough appears,
will prevent the attack. In cases
of whooping cough it liquefies the tough
mucus, making it easier to expectorate,
and lessens the severity and frequency of
the paroxysms of coughing thus depriving
that disease of all dangerous consequences.

Matters Pedagogical.
By reference to our advertising
columns it will be seen that the
Bamberg County Teachers' Association
will meet at the courthouse on
Saturday next, February 10th, ou

for the association, if rightly
conducted, is a school of liberal education.

A Half Century Married.
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. McMillan, of
the Ehrhardt section, celebrated the
half century anniversary of their
marriage at their hospitable home
on Wednesday, January 31st. There
were present to congratulate the
half-century married couple a host
of brothers and sisters from three or
four different counties, and relatives
in a lesser degree from as many
States.
Three great tables accommodated
the guests, and each of th:so boards
was loaded with the delicacies of the
Southland served in the most appetizing
manner. Three clergymen,
representing three distinct religions
bodies, were present, and one of
these reverend gentlemen presided at
each of the tables. At No. 1, was
Rev. J. H. Wilson, a Lutheran pastor;
at No. 2, Rev. Henry Mouzon,
of the Methodist faith, and at No.
3, Rev. Robert Williams, an exponent
of the tenets of John the Baptist.
A most enjoyable day was passed,
and one of its most pleasant episodes
was the presentation to the fifty .
years' married groom of a beautiful
gold-headed cane, the same being the
gift of his brothers and sisters.

The two year-old daughter of Mr.
ind Mrs. J. F. Kearse, Sr., of the

one were interred in the Kearse
family burying ground on Thursday
last, Rev. Henry Mouzon, of the

Monday's Sales.
There were more people in town
last Monday than one would naturally
expect to see on sales day in February,
and, judging from the prices
paid for the real estate sold by the

money in the crowd. Then, too, our
collections for the day were good.
There were no public sales except
those made by Master T. J. Counts,
and he sold the following properly :
In the case of Conrad Ehrhardt,

...HARNESS...!
Of such good quality, at such moderate prices,
that some people wonder where the profit
comes in. It comes in by making a customer
of every buyer. Those who find that Harness,
Whips, Lap Robes, Wagon, Plow and Riding
Bridles, Team, Plow and Buggy Collars, Horse Blankets,
and all other kinds of "mule millinery"?-cost one-third ?
more elsewhere. They also find that Horses, Mules, Biggies,
Wagons, and all other stuff in our line cost less than
elsewhere. They come back because we sell them good
stuff, and treat them right. They will find us
at the same old stand, and our stock complete.
Come and see its and if you cannot come,
