Pearlstixe & Soxs, Branchville, S. C. Garland-Gill. Married on Sunday night, April loth, 1900, at the pastoral residence, by ^ Rev. W. E. Johnson, of the Bamberg ^ Baptist church, Mrs. Seany R. Gill and Mr. Geo. W. Garland. c The bride in this case, Mrs. Gill, is c ell-known in Bamberg,"being the daugh- 1 r of the late J. W. Brown, and the for- * er wife of Mr. T. T. Gill. She has, since * e death of her husband, been actively 1 id prominently connected with schools the matron Qf the Co-Educational Colge, at Williston; the Collegiate Institu, at Orangeburg, and the Classical Initute, at this place. Hundreds of her ( rmcr "boys and girls" still remember ( :r with feelings of the kindest, and they t ill one and all unite with The Bamberg ^ erald and her many friends in wishing r her in the new estate only the most 1 llimited happiness and felicity. The * lappy man," Mr. Garland, is a well- ! town planter and merchant of Aiken 1 unty, and a gentleman of the most ir- 1 proachable character. Mr. Mrs. Gar- j nd will make their future home in Bam- t ?rg. < Negro Gamblers Run In. Chief of Police Gray has for some time i id his eyes on a coterie of negro gam- ' ers, who have been in the habit of as- t alibiing nightly in the house of a negro oman in the rear of the Cope hotel, and < iturday night he determined to raid the i eu. Summoning to his assistance Messrs 1 ;r. W. Lightsey, Jno. F. Brickie and Lee i isher, at about ten o'clock, when a 1 skin" game was in full progress, the lief and his posse surrounded the house, hen he knocked upon the door for adlission. Instantlv the gamblers became anic stricken and made a wild break for i berty. Two only of the gang were cap- i ire'l, but subsequently three others were < rrested. Mayor Inglis imposed the following i jntences: Ed. Kirk land, $10 or twenty ays; Henry Walker, $7.50 or fifteen ] ays; Solomon Allen, $5 or ten days; ' im Slater, $5 or ten days; Preston i irown, $10 or twenty days. Walker took lie days, but ihe four others paid up. Chief Gray deserves great credit for reaking up this gang, which is a notorius one, and has for months engaged in ames similiar to the one in progress Satrday night, crap shooting, poker, etc. For the Fitting School. Several gentlemen, who have an aiming interest in the Carlisle Fitting School, j fill shortly call upon our citizens for the \ --d?ontovtoinfiiont fVtr I urpose <n pruwuiug vx*?.v?.... he parents and friends of the students >f this institution during the commenceuent in June. Th.s is a good idea, and me which will result in material henJit to the school if properly carried out. ?ree entertainment for parents and riends of the students will, no doubt, reiu)t in benetk-ial advertising, as it would certainly induce many to come and inipect the institution who otherwise vould stay away. Tliis, of course, means nore students next year, and every pubic-spirited citizen will promptly respond vhen they are visited by the committee. Not a Nuisance. | The jury in the Howell's Mill nuisance | case, acquitted Mr. Joseph H. Smith, its proprietor, last Friday, after a long list of witnesses for the State had been exam- 1 ined. There seemed to be some doubt in the minds of some of the witnesses as to whether the draining of the pond would abate or aggravate the alleged nuisance, J and, under the charge of the judge, the jurv could not do otherwise than lind as it did. 1 Elliott Grayson Gets a Life Sentence. Elliott Grayson, who was put on trial Wednesday morning for the murder of David Adams, was convicted, but the jury recommended him to mercy and the judge ( gave him life sentence in the penitenti- e ary. r The testimony was nearly identical *l "With that taken before the coroner's jury 1 and already published in The Bamberg (l Herald. J. L. Bishop was the foreman 0 of the jury. The interests of the prison- h er were looked after by J. Fincknev Ma' i 0 iiieny, ..tsq., win) uuu wtu n? tliat duty by the court. The Solicitor was t( assisted in the prosecution by Herman L. Spahr, Esq. b' Tlie aggregate testimony went to show a: that Grayson was a trespasser in Adams's shop that fatal night, and, that after being ? ejected by^the proprietor, he returned (r with a knife in his hand, and stabbed ft Adams to death. . ? Guard J. P. Davis, of the penitentiary JJJ force, came down Monday morning and p took Grayson to jiis future life home on o1 the evening train. 111 ^ m Gunnells Case Continued. ol Very few people were surprised Thurs- (J, day morning, the day set for the trial of :1J Dan. T. Gunnells, charged with the mur- m der on December 23d last, of Willie T. pi Grimes, at Govan, of which little town al the prisoner was at that time marshal, yi when, on motion of Col. Robert Aldrich, m the eourt granted a continuance in the pi case, and Gunnells went back to jail, ni there to remain until next July. in The motion was made on an affidavit th prepared by H. Spann Dowling, Esq., fn fir which the allegation was made that Mag- gr istrate L. L. Lancaster had failed to prop- g< erly summons and bind over important witnesses for the defense, in consequence da af which one was now beyond the juris- he Jicticui of the court, and it would be im- all possible to bring him here before the July fo term of court. Before passing on the ru motion Judge Gage had the recalcitrant do magistrate brought before him. Mr. Lan- th caster admitted t]ie truth of the Charges in but said he had acted as he did in ignor- "Y ince of the law. Solicitor Townsend tir fought hard to have the case brought up an :his or next week, but the judge decided go ;hat he would not permit the civil busi- qu less of the court to be broken in upon go where the failure to have a criminal case he eadv for trial-at the appointed time was th? manifestly the fault of the State. It ? * wi The Court's Temporary Officers. j?3 The temporary officers of the Court of ^ Jeneral Sessions last week, were: J. B. pr Y.11, crier, H. W. Moody, J. C. Nimmons, r. YV.

The defendant made a" general denial of ilaintiff's title, pleaded the statute of g0 imitation, and claimed that he had purrhased the land "for valuq and without otj lotice." In his general denial Gen Bam- ga ierg alleges that another clause of Mr m| Whetstone's will which empowereu tue fr( levisee's executors to sell a portion of the tU( and to pay his debts, was complied with, jm hat the sale was made, and that the court jie >f equity gave a title thereto. ci.

IV hat a Stuff' Correspondent of The Herald Saw and Heard Along the County's Highways and Byways. Denmark. S.

Senator Mavtleld, who 1 ecently returned from the North declares ' hat the erection of the mill buildings and lie launching of the enterprise is only a ' uestion of a short time. A sufficiency 1 f Northern capital to assure its success as already been subscribed, and before I; lie summer really begins, work upon the ! 1 nterprise will be commended. The fac- j' >rv will be located near the "new town," I ;> as to take advantage of all the railroad 5 icilities there offered, and will not be t uilt at old Grahams, as some people have ^ sserted. I doubt if one could Andaman, woman r child in the Denmark school district s ho is not enthusiastically in favor of J nod roads. The rehabilitated thorough- s ires leading to that town from all points f the compass, which Township Com- v lissioner Charles M'Giever has, in spite {' f all obstacles, succeeded in laying oil I >r the people, have been object lessons j a f the highest importance, and as one an put it, "you can trot all 'round Den- v ark now, and your horse won't turn a o lir." And yet I remember when most / : these roads were either bogs of sand or j. lagmires of sticky mud. If intelligent \ id persistent efforts can accomplish so J uch for Denmark's roads, equally y raise worthy results can be obtained in j lotller sections of the county. Senator J ^ aytield's itiad bill puts 'upon them a j andatory tax of three mills for road 11 lrposcs." This tax would have been ! n ade mandatory in every school district t< ' the county, particularly in Bamberg, if e balance of the legislative delegation . ul urged it. Failure to do this was a " ave mistake, for we must and will have A tod roads. j. I have announced myself as a candi- j te for coroner of Bamberg county. [I >pe Air.

The annual sales made by trad- til ; at the county seat, and at several ? aer of the more "enterprising towns in .mberg are enormous. Horses and lies are brought here by the car-load >m. Mississippi, Tennessee and Kcn3ky, and they find ready sale. The anals so disposed of are young and althy, in most cases, and under ordinary I cumstances would last for years. Do I ev do this? No! Our sandy soil and t"climate wears them out, oftentimes one season, and next year the farmer obliged to purchase a fresh supply of uugh and carriage stock. Native raised rsos.and mules, however, are tougher. ley have a congenital stamina and contution,which enables them to thrive in r hot climate, and w ;tlistand the wear- G g privations tliat are indigenous to our iidy soil. It is profitable therefore to jr ltivate the native breed of horses and -p iiles. They last longer than imported g x*k, and they do better work. Some of . ir wide-awake farmers have begun to alize this fact, and I find many native rses and mules throughout the county, tiich is a healthly sign of progress and ? ricultural advancement.
