We are glad to state that the Cannon's ^

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

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

The case cf Eugenia M Rice against
General Frank M Bamberg, for the recov- ca]
iry of 183 acres of land, to which she
ilaims title through her ancestor, John ;ai
3 Whetstone, who owned and cultivated p0
he land in dispute for more than twenty fa<
ears, devising it by will to her at his
leath, was tried Tuesday.
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.
At the time of this sale Eugenia M tj1(
Rice was three years and eight months of j10
ige, and her counsel contended that she jn
.vas not legally made a party to the suit js
To support this allegation they produced pj,

The jury was (Siarged by Judge Gage qq
iarly Wednesday morning, and, after be- stj

FARMERS -AND THEIR FARMS.
IV hat a Stuff' Correspondent of The
Herald Saw and Heard Along the
County's Highways and Byways.
Denmark. S. C., April 17. 1000. i
The Danes are very much enthused
>ver the latest reports front their projectd
cotton factory. 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. Knight will allow this to go in,
though it's against the rulesmf the paper, ir
r if lie don't it will spoil my text and C(
in my sermon.] I was really forced to p
i it iii sheer self-defence. Everywhere ^
at I have been there has been dinned j A1
to my ears the stereotyped query: I
Vrhat are you a candidate for?" I got \ (
ed of making the equally stereotyped
swer: "I am a candidate only for your
od opinion," and of "explaining to the n:
erists that I was interested - onlv in q
od ro.^ds, good schools, and The Bam:no
Reuald. Not more than half of
em believed me; hence the candidacy.
mustnot.be thought, therefore, that

lave met, or that I have a single ulte

ror of all those good and perfect gifts 1
it will fall to our portion if we make w

Everybody knows that this is one of
2 best horse and mule markets in^the C
uth. 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. I

flenth of W. C. Sanders.
Mr. "William C. Sunders, one of the best
known cotton men in the South, died suddenly
on March 20th at Suwanee Springs,
Fla., where he had ?one recently for rest
ami recreation.
Mr. Sanders was at the head of Sanders,
Swann A Co., one of the promineut
cotton tirms in the United Slates. He
has been in the cotton business since the
close of the civil war. and was considered
one of the foremost men in the business.
He was a director in the Atlanta
Railway and Power Company and a
prominent Jirnire in financial circles.
\I? Q.imlorc ftivfv.fu'o veal's of
aire. He came to Atlanta in 18~>8 from
South Carolina. He was born in Barnwell
county near Bambcri:. His business <
career from the beginning was success- t
ful. He married in Atlanta in 18(52. a
When he first catpe to Atlanta he was '
llmost without means, and started hisca- J
reer as an express messenger under the
ate Captain Hulbert, of the Southern Ex- (>
ircss Co., and Col. F. B. Walker, then b
c
superintendent of the Western ani> Atlanic
railroad. He was in the express service
four years.
At the close of the war Mr. Sanders
started a chair factory. The firm was
Sanders & Flake. This enterprise was
uecessfjjlly conducted for several years
vhen Mr. Sanders withdrew to enter the
otton business.
His first venture in this industry was ?
,s a street broker in Atlanta. Then he
rent with the firm of S. M. Inman &Co.,
if New York. His headquarters were at
Lugusta. He changed his headquarters N
ater to Savannah, where he conducted si
he firm's Savannah business for two
te
ears. p
He came back to Atlanta with the same vi
rm about the year 1880, and soon became m
lanaging partner. The firm of S. M. Intan
& Co., then had their chief hcadquar- 0J]
?rs at Atlanta and Bremen, Germany, en
rith branch offices in nearly all of the
nportant cotton centers in the South. JV'
Ir. Sanders managed the offices and a
irge amount of the firm's success was
ue to his ability and business integrity.
Three years ago the firm of S. M. In- ^
lan & Co. was dissolved and was sue- w
