Rev. John Owen, a member of the South Carolina Conference, M. E. Church, and pastor at Johnston, was accidentally shot and killed last Tuesday afternoon bv Mr. Walter Smith. It seems he had driven out to the residence of Mr. Caincwell Smith, near Johnson, and had carried his gun and dog along to shoot some birds for a sick friend. He found Mr. Smith away, so he and Walter Smith, the youngest son, went hunting. In a few minute tliev <rot into a drove of par tridges and commenced shooting. Mr. Smith was loading his gun hurriedly when a partridge flew over his head, and in attempting to cock his gun quickly the hammer slipped from under his thumb. The whole load entered the right side of Mr. Owen at short range. The wounded man was carried back to the residence of Mr. Gamewell Smith where he lingered until Wednesday, when he died. Medical aid was quickly summoned from Augusta, but it was of no avail. He was entirely conscious to the end, and made a written statement? exonerating young Smith from all blame. Mr. Owen had been presiding elder of the Orangeburg district a few years ago, and was known and loved by many people in Bamberg, to whom the news of his death comes as a personal bereavement. A Sad Death. Miss Laura Chitty, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Chitty, died at the home of her parents in the town of Olar last Sunday morning about five o'clock, in the fifteenth year of her age. The burial took place Monday afternoon at the Olar Baptist church, the services being conducted by Rev. 8. P. Chisholm. Her death was an especially sad one. Possessed of a bright and happ}' disposition, she was a favorite with old and young, and her sadden death was a great shock to the many who knew and loved her. She attended school last Friday, and was sick in bed for only two diays. The many friends of the family extend sympathy. New Advertisements. BAMBERG PHARMACY.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. H. C. Mouzon. Mr. Hughes was eighty years old. He leaves many relatives and friends to mourn his death. Items of Interest from the Carlisle Fitting School. The Carlisle Fitting School has completed one month of hard work in the session of 1900 and 1901. This month of work, has given satisfaction to those in authority and promises for the year one of excellent results. The school has a good, large attendance of boarding pupils, the largest in the history of the school, ; and the excellent quality of the young men aud women inspires new hope and confidence in the future. There is such a thing as having a lot of material you can't work with to any satisfaction and if you construct anything out of this crude material it would not make an attractive appearance and few would desire the article thus manufactured. Imagine a workman trying tc make a handsome piece of furniture out of stuff that was tilled with knots and cracks and wind shakes. He might polish for weeks and months and stop cracks and varnish until he was weary, but he would never be able to make the highly artistic effect that he would if he were to use good material. Give the skilled worwman the best material upon which to test his ability and skill and you will likely obtain a work that pleases and that exhibits qualities of art. So with the teacher. If his work is to show the qualities of a master workman, he must have the right kind of material as students with which to work. There is as much really in the material as in the skilled workman. The handsome piece of furniture, it is true, could not produce itself but the artist could not likewise produce the article without the good material. Schools often boast of the great men they have given to the worm. And they have done much to make the man great, but after all the man himself deserves the greatest credit. From our first month's experience with the young men and young women committed to the care of the school, we are assured that we have g<K>d material with which to work during the scholastic year. Not only therefore do we expect a successful year in the large attendance and in the financial interests, but also we ex-' pect a highly successful year as regards scholarship and character. Such prospects encourage very much a teacher to put forth his best efforts and the teachers in the school are working diligently and hopefully. We see a brighter future for j the Carlisle. By the way, we are now ready for a j speech from 'our great friend, Mr. Jasper Brabham. He said that if the Carlisle ! Fitting School ever saw the day wheu it would have sufficient boarding patronage ' to make it self-sustaining he would come around and make them a speech, We r hope therefore that he is busy these long I evenings preparing that great oration and that he will soon give us notice of his readiness to deliver the oration. We : assure him it would be gladly received , and heartily cheered. About thirty of the pupils with the head * | master spent a day at the State Fair.

The election Tuesday passed of! quietly here. Two hundred votes were polled" at the state and county boxes, and 2(KJ at the Federal polls. Only live Republican votes were cast. Both constitutional amendments were carried by large majorities. The vote all over the county was light, and there was no excitement at any of the precints. This county will give a majority for the constitutional amendments. The South Caroliua Conference. All over our state the officials of the Methodist church are very busy. In three weeks the annual conference will convene in the town of Chester. Every charge is anxious to make a I good showing and it is only by honest j work that this can be done. No time is to be lost. What is done?must be done quickly. At the conference mauy important interests are considered but that which creates the largest attention is the question of the appointment of the preachers for another year. All over the State the question is being asked "who will be our next preacher ? " Naturally the people of Bamberg are very much interested in this question, as Rev. T. C. O'Dell has served the Methodist church here four years and there is bound to be a change. Mr. O'Dell has endeared himself to all, regardless of denomination, and the best wishes of us all will follow him to his new lield of labor, wherever that may be. * Death of Miss Reba O'Neal. The death of Miss Reba O'Neal, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. O'Neal, on last Friday morning at 7 o'clock, has brought deep sorrow to several of the most prominent and influential families in Bamberg county as well as to the large circle of friends and acquaintances of the bereaved parents. We cannot hope in a few short lines to a t/v thi? dihieet iustice. It nc? a pa i vu u\/ v??v j?. w would take the pen of a ready writer and lie would have to write a book. As a daughter, she was dutiful, affectionate, devoted. Her parents were completely wrapped up in her. They were proud* of her and justly so. She had a. host of relatives, friends and companions that loved her dearly and their love was highly appreciated and joyfully and beautifully returned on her part. She was very companionable with them all, but her most constant companion and the one she enjoyed being with most was her own dear mother. Iler devotion to her parents was beautiful. Besides her parents, she leaves to mourn over her departure two brothers, Clyde and Joe Jean. They too, with the father and mother are buried in sorrow and grief. Her devotion to them and her pure, sweet life gave her unbounded influence over them and begat within them for her a deep and abiding love. A,s a friend, Reba was as true as the needle to the pole. Her large circle of frieuds will gladly give testimony to this fact. Although she was modest and unassuming and perhaps even timid, yet it would be wide of the mark to suppose even for a moment that she was weak. On the contrary she was always true and firm?true to her friends and true to her faith. But while she was a dutiful daughter, an affectionate sister and a true friend, we believe that she was greatest, and at her best as a meek, humble, happy Christian. She connected herself with the Bamberg Baptist church several years ago, when quite young, and was baptized by Dr. C. P. Ervm, so well and so favorably known to the people of this community, and has been a loyal, loving member ever since. What a noble example she set for her friends and companions in the prayer meeting, in the Sun<)|yschool and in the church. May they follow her example and take her Savior as their Savior and serve Him as faithfully as she did. The funeral services were conducted bv her pastor, Rev. W. E. Johnson, on pViday afternoon, at 4.30 o'clock, in the parlor of the home where she had lived a beautiful. hapDV. Christian life, and died in the triumph of a living faith. After singing "Jesus, Savior Pilot Me," the preacher said in part: "Many a time has she sung that sweet little song. Many a time has she made it her prayer, and her prayer has been answered. Jesus has piloted her 'over life's tempestuous sea' and called her home to be with Himself. I am not going to say much; it is not necessary. And then I don't feel like talking anyway. I feel more like taking a seat with the family among the mourners, for I have lost a strong, personal friend, and one that always helped and encouraged me in my work! I shall miss her, for her presence, her interest, and her attention have helped me to preach. I declare here before you all this afternoon, that in all my experience and observation as a preacher and pastor I have never found a purer, riper, sweeter Christian. I know it is customary to say nice things about people after they are dead. Some times we even say more than the circumstances justify, but I am not afraid of anvthing like that this afternoon. If I could only say what I have said arid what I have heard others say over and over again, while she lived, it would be perhaps enough. I say to you frankly that if I knew fteba O'Neal was not saved, I should feel like giving up the light. True the family sustains the greatest loss. True she will be missed more by this home and this family than any other, for they loved her best; but there are other homes that will miss her ?homes where she carried sunshine and joy as often as she* went. She will be missed by her family, missed by a host of relatives* and friends, missed by her church and missed by the community. Her departure is a genuine grief to us all, but God knows best and will overrule it all for good. Only let us follow her example, and be faithful even unto death, and we shall meet her again. To the grief stricken family we extend our deepest sympathy and pledge our most earnest prayers. God bless everyone of you and comfort your hearts with the thought that though she cannot come back to you, you can go to her. Earth is. poorer and heaven is richer for the change. Ever think of Reba standing at the beautiful gate 'waiting and watching for you.'" She was laid to rest at the Moye burying ground, near Buford's Bridge, on Saturday morning. She was twenty-one years and three months old when she passed away to the realms of bliss. A remarkable girl is fone. When shall we see her like again ? 'hose who knew her best say that she was never known to a harm word of anybody in all her lifetime. And if anybody ever spoke evil of her, we have yet to hear of it. "Death has been here aud borne away A sister from our side, Just in the morning of her days, As young as we she died?' Sleep on beloved and take thy rest. We shall miss thee. Every thought of thee will inspire in us holy thoughts and ambitions. "Thou shalt sleep, but not forever." Wo hope to meet thee again "some sweet day, by and by." "Servant of God well done, Rest from thy loved employ." Thy pure, sweet Christian life with its bles^d influences will out last and out shine the stars. It will survive the wreck of weather and the crush of worlds, and eternity alone will reveal the glorious results Good-bye, "Till we meet beyond the river," > Friend.

"Silence is golden, but after so long it becomes monotonous," we were informed recently. The health of our community is comparatively better than for several years past at this season, which is appreciated. The Sunday-school, hitherto held at Bethlehem Lutheran church, is now in line progress at Long Branch school house, better known as Clear Pond. It has its same officers and teachers, and the same good attendance we are glad to say. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Morris have left our midst for another clime. They have moved to Orangeburg. Our community can now boast of three flourishing schools. Mr. J. H. Rowell holds office of pedagogue at Frog Pond. He has taught there several times already, which speaks for him. Mr. Strickling teaches at Sassafras Grove. He is liked very much. The Long Branch school is ' under the superintendency of Mr. L. A. Bikle, of Ehrhardt, with Mrs. Alice Zeigler as assistant. Mr. Bikle needs no praise to let the people know . his worth, as he has been teaching with good results for years, and Mrs. Zeigler is amiable little lady. So with this line corps of teachers at the head of our schools, we feel sure that the little minds will now be trained into a better knowledge of God's and the world's goods. Let the good work go on. Mrs. Alice Zeigler has the sympathy of her manv friends in the loss of her only little girl, Leafy. She was a sweet child of six years, with manners and sense of one older. Her little spirit took its flight Sunday, October 27, at three o'clock, at the home of her grand-mother, Mrs. L. E. Hill, at Clear Pond, and her little body was laid to rest by that of her father, on Mondav in the cemetery at Mt. Pleasant Lutheran church. Tlie little one was sick only a few days previous to her death, which was caused by congestion. She was a great lover of flowers, and her love was made manifest by the little mound, which looked like a wreath or bouquet. She has a little brother, mother, and grandparents to mourn her loss.

When My Darling Llewlie Died. "Oh, God of peace," I knelt and said, Beside my loved and white-robed dead, "Let thy sweet comfort come to me? I loved this dear one tenderly! My heart knew hopes and pleasures rare, Which vanished like a breath of air, When my darling Llewlie died." Then friends came near, "Weep not," they said, "And deem not your sweet Llewlie dead; That which you kneel beside and pray, Is but a bit of mortal clay. Her soul," they urged, "did speed afar To lands where happy angels are When my darling Llewlie died. . And I doubt not, yet still I weep, And o'er my dead close vigil keep. These lovely hands, albeit they Mast fall to dust and pass away, Had little ways most dear to me? When my darling Llewlie died. And these dear eyes in death closed tight, Oft beamed on me with glances bright; A soul looked through them free from guile. And life was gladder for their smile, But pallid lids?do you not see? Did close these world's of light to me, When my darling Llewlie died. I ro, irhitp white tins once rosv red. wu, n g . Can any say the? are not dead When to them close mine own I press, Yet meet with no responsiveness ? Was it so late they met mine own When "kiss me once" I made sad moan, Ere my darling Llewlie died ? Alas for me; those darling feet, Will make 110 more their music sweet; No more shall we who loved them hear, Their patter, patter everywhere? For they are silenced evermore? For one" life's symphony was o'er. When my darling Llewlie died. Although, forsooth 'tis clay, can I (Wh6 grieve to see a floweret die,) Look on the body all unmoved Of one who was ray heart's beloved? They have not loved and lost who said "Weep not, 'tis clay that lieth dead!" When my darling Llewlie died. Yet not as those who have no hope. Need child of God in sadness grope; Although our loved return no more, I'll join her on von shining shore; And heaven for me has grown more fair, Because a pure soul has entered there, When my darling Llewlie died, i " ?Mamma, .
