bought a mailing machine, and will cor
mence to use it as soon as we can get t
names set up in type. This method w
be much more accurate than writing t
names and addresses, and there will al
be the advantage of having each subsc
' ber's date opposite his name, thus sho
ing exactlj- whether he owes for his [
per or not. This is only one of the ma

make. You count on The Bambe;

0 THE MYSTERY OF A CHECK.
t
t Postal People at Work-An Endorsea
ment Thereon Pronounced a Forgery.
o
v The postofiice department at Augusta
is engaged in unraveling the mystery of
j a check-and apparent violation ot the
postal laws. Mixed up in the case is, too,
a charge of forgery, against whom it is
not known.
e | On February 8tli Wrens & Philips, of
s I Wrens, Ga? mailed to Augusta, directed
to G. W. Wilkinson, at Augusta, Ga., a j
k check drawn on the Louisville Bank of
e Georgia for $21.75. Capt. Wilkinson did
i. not receive the check from the mail. He
e declares that he never endorsed it. His
j name is written across the back of it.
It The check has been deposited with an
Augusta bank for collection. It shows
the name of Capt. Wilkinson, as stated,
, in endorsement. It is also endorsed by
the Messrs. Pettijohn, of the Commercial
^ Hotel. It was deposited by that firm with
the bank for collection.
The .Messrs. Pettijohn state that they
s took the check at its face value front Mr.
it G. W. Williams, a guest who has been at
e their house for some time. Mr. Williams
d makes the statement that he received the
check a few days ago at Denmark, S. C.,
,f from a gentleman named Lyons(Mr. Willi
liams gives the full name of this gentlcy
man) whom lie knew and who was on his
e way to Florida, and who needed money.
It seemed that a party owed hint an acg
count that he had forgotten about, and
i Mr. Williams in taking the check gave
1 Mr. Lyons $10, with the understanding
. the $11.25 was to go to the credit of the
old account.
Mr. Williams did not endorse the check,
but stated to the authorities that he would
if have had no hesitancy in the world of
^ doing so, prior to its being cashed, had it
been suggested to hint at the time.
The nostotlice authorities are intent on |
p ascertaining how the check got into Mr.
; Lyons's hands. It had been mailed from
r Wrens to Augusta, and, it is believed, in
; a letter bearing on the envelope the Wrens
& Philips firm name, and the return direction
characteristic of all of the mail of
' the tirin. It is the belief of the postal
people that the letter was delivered at the
general delivery window at the postoffice.
In that Capt. Wilkinson did not receive
the check, the postal authorities are en*
deavoring to run the matter down.
? The above clipping is from the Augusta
j Herald of last Saturday, and it would aps
pear front this that Mr. Gilbert W. M.
Williams is in'danger of getting into sel
rious trouble again. Verily, it seems that
\ Georgia is an unlucky State for Mr. Willi
Hams, as his disbarment resulted from his
1 actions oVer there. We shall watch the
* outcome of this matter with interest, as
Uncle Sam is a bad fellow to monkey
* with.
e
I Musical and Literary Entertainment. '
i There will be a musical aud literary
" entertainment held at the home of Col. T.
^ J. Counts, on Friday evening next, for the
benefit of the Baptist church, when some
i of our best talent will appear. Refresh
ments will be served, and the admission '
' fee is only ten cents.
? As this is a very worthy charity, it is to
1 be hoped that there will be a large attend
ance, for it is pre-supposed that all pae
trons will receive the full worth of their
money.
Colleton's Treasurer Dead.
Waltf.rboro, Feb. 22.?News reached
i, here today of the death of County Treas*
urer A. R. Smith last night at his home
] near Smoaks. Mr. Smith died of typhoid
o fever, after a few weeks' illness. Within
o ti?o iQct ?iv months his wife and eight
children have had this fev|r, and about
r three weeks ago he lost a son 14 years old
with it. When the last sick member of
[j his family was almost well Mr. Smith
!. contracted it himself, and being so worn
5> out and exhausted by loss of sleep and
^ constant nursing, he proved an easy vicd
tim to the dread disease.
Mr. Smith has been treasurer of Collei
ton countv for the past four years and
ie has served his people faithfully'and well.
(_ He was an excellent man and had a host
lt of friends. The entire county mourns his
e loss and sympathizes with his bereaved

(| Last Tuesday evening at 7:30
^ o'clock at the residence of Mr. and
ie Mrs. W. P. Jones in this city Mr. J.
IS W. Blount and Miss Daisy Weekly
ie both of Ulmer, were united in marf
riage, Rev. T. C. O'Dell performing
? the ceremony.
a- Many friends of the couple in this
ft city were present, and a dainty supl<*
per was spread after the marriage
rites were concluded.
This was rather a romantic mar3f
riage, and is an exemplification of
c- the old adge that "love will find a
way." These two young people had

Mj marriage should take place. The
st young pair kept quiet, biding their
time. Last week Miss Weekly came
p- to Bamberg on a visit ttfMrs. W. P.I

arranged for. Monday afternoon
re Mr. Blount and several of his friends
a- came in on the 5:30 train, and the
?d desire of their hearts was consummajJJ
ted the same evening. They left
lie Wednesday morning for a bridal
re. tour to Atlanta and other points.
??> The bride is the daughter of Dr,
xt Weekly, of Ulmer, and the groom is
depot agent at file same place. Their
many friends extend congratulations

HE HEREAFTER SHE,
Ham berg County's Teachers' Association
Makes a Radical Move Toward
Woman's Rights.
South Carolinians have from time
immemorial been distinguished for
their ehivalrio devotion to women,
and the daughters of the Palmetto
State have always proudly appreciated
the homage paid to them.
They are not women of the shorthaired,
blue-spectacled, advanced
type, but timid, shrinking, womanly
women, ivy-like in their clinging
-1 thoiv onLr-liki? de
uepniuamv
fenders ami admirers. No man likes
a strong-minded woman for a wife,
and the fact that we have no divorce
law in the State is proof sufficient
that when a man is hound tight and
fast to one of her fair daughters he
has no desire or inclination to sever
the tie.
Bamberg County's Teachers' Association
has ont-Heroded llerod in
the new woman movement. It has
taken such extreme, such radical action
that the Susan B. Anthony's,
Jennie JuneCrolv's, Matilda Bloomer's,
et al, would have fairly howled
with delight, and hailed the male
teachers of the county as a band of
Moseses who were pre-destined, preordained,
and pre-annointed to lead
woman to the Promised Land of
Equality, Liberty, and Fraternity.
In fact it is more than likely that
when this report goes forth to the
world that the self-reliant creatures
M-lm mm- have everv right hut the
Universal Ballot, will immediately
take such action as will hand the
name of J. Arthur Wiggins down to
posterity, not' as the emancipator of
woman but ;is the elevator of woman,
for a motion made by him at the
last meeting of the association on
Saturday last,, places the women
members of the body above their
male co- workers.
This important and radical move
was made during the reading of the
report of the committee to prepare
a constitution and by laws, by its
chairman, Mr. R. McLendon. The
articles were discussed and amended
or adopted as read, seriatum. An
article was under discussion, in
which, to avoid tautology in the use
of the word "member," the drafters
of the document had substituted
the word "he." Objection was made
to this because a majority of the
members of the association are ladies.
Mr. McLendon admitted this,
and explained*that to avoid tautology
he had made use of the noun
masculine because "he or she" was
a clumsy substitution for the oftrepeated
"member."
"Then," cried Mr. Wiggins, "since
a majority of our members are ladies
why not wipe 'he' out of existence
in such cases and substitute
'she' whenever it is necessary to refer
to a member of the association."
"Do you offer that as a motion,
sir?" demanded President Calhoun.
"I do, sir," was the prompt an
swer.
"I second the motion," came in a
chorus from the other male teachers
present, and when it was put to
a vote, there was a responsive "yCa,"
tlvit war sn sonorous and loud voiced
as to cause the oak back log in the
fireplace to fall asunder.
This meeting, which was an -adjourned
one, considered strictly business
matters. Mr. N. A. Patteison,
chairman of the committee on
program of work, made a report,
suggesting the adoption of "The
Normal Course for Teachers" as an
eminently fitting course of study.
There was some discussion over the
matter, and definite consideration of
his report was finally deferred until
the next meeting of the body.
Mr. R. McLendon, as chairman of
the committee to prepare a constitution
and by-laws submitted his re-1
port, and the constitution as printed
below was finally adopted :
