Bold Robbery.
The residence of A. Mclver Bostick,
Esq., was broken into last Monday night
by a daring thief. An entrance was effected
by breaking open a window at the
rear of the house with an axe. The robber
entered the room where Mr. Bostick
and family were sleeping and took the
trousers Mr. .Bostick had worn Monday.
In the pockets were several
articles of value, among them his gold
watch and $17 in money. The thief
was a cool one, for he carried the trousers
into another room and there searched
the pockets, leaving Mr. Bostick's office
key and a small memorandum book, which
were of no value to the robber.
No one in the house was awakened,
and the burglary was not discovered until
the next morning. No arrests have been
made, and there is no clue.
Enjoyable Evening.

Death in Denmark.
Denmauk, July lb.?Rev. Paul F.
Kistler, a pioneer of Methodism, died at
his home near this town, Saturday afternoon,
5.30 o'clock. Around his bed were
his entire family and quite a number of
friends. For ten days previous to the end,
Mr. Kistler was on a rapid decline:
physical vitality seemed to have run its
last lineage of life support. The messenger
of death has called a Soldier of the Cross,
whose name will ever be to those who
survive him, an exponent of a typical
character, of a devout Christian.
Fifty years a preacher of the Gospel
bears evidence of the life of service the
deceased has left behind him. Every nook
and corner of South Carolina has in time
past heard this gifted preacher.
He was a man of wonderful energy.
No task, once undertaken by him, was ever
given up. until it was a complete success.
The abundance of energy displayed
in his life was spent wholly for his Master,
yet through economy and sacrifice lie
has 'left for his family a nice little home.
His life is a model to us for its tine type
of citizenship, and a model to his Conference
for the extraordinary accomplishments
of a life of service.
Mr. Kistler was a tine conversationalist
and possessing the power of narration as j
he did, it was a treat to sit down and J
talk with him. He had in store a rich
supply of humor, pathos and tragedy,
which clustered around his recorded in
cidents of personal experience.
His recollection of early Methodism
was in itself a charm to the lover of
church history. The unrecorded scenes
of the Civil War held spell-hound the inquiring
student. Probably no one will
ever surpass Mr. Kistler in the rare gift
of entertaining children.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. H. B. Browne. The pall-bearers
were: Reverends Stokes. Wright, Hook,
Beck with, McFarlane ami Mr. Dibble.
On account of a very heavy rain, the
funeral procession did not reach the
church until about seven o'clock Sunday
evening. It is to be regretted that the
services were so hastily concluded as the
occasion promised to be very impressive.
The life of the deceased was worthy of
all the eulogy his associates could bestow.
A large congregation was present. A few
moments at the church and the body was
j taken to the cemetery. .Tust as the long
j procession reached this silent city of the
j dead, the sun shot forth its last ray, and
j soon all was darkness. The lateness of
it he hour made the last moments most
I solemn.
A great man has passed away and a
; great soul has ascended to its Lord.

Ehrhardt People in Lock.
Eiikhakot. July lo.?They have an
artesian "well here that beats them all.
Last Wednesday the workmen struck
water at a depth of 541 feet. They were
using a three inch drill. So soon as they
could get the drill out and the water
cleared itself, they found they had struck
a flow of something over 200 gallons per
minute, and it will flow above the ground
through piping more than forty feet high.
This water is as clear as crystal and o? a
delightful flavor. Bamberg has been
styled the "Artesian City," but she will
have to "take in her sign" now, for her
little sister, Ehrhardt, gets more water
out of her well through a three inch pipe
than Bamberg gets through her four inch
pipe and her other two private flowing
wells combined. Thev are simply in luck,
though their efficient Intendant, Capt. J.
31. Dannelly, says his good old grandmother
use to tell him that good luck was
good management, and bad luck was bad
management, and judging from the way
the Captain keeps things hustling around
him, he must have heeded his grandmother's
teaching.
These Ehrhardt people are all hustlers
and believe in doing nothing by halves.
It would have been a good time for any
visiting K. of P. to have been with Ehrhardt
lodge, No. 98, K. of P. last Wednesday
night and seen them confer the first
and third degrees. They have only a
small lodge of 21 members, but 18 of them
were on hand and saw to it that that
mysterious goat was in good shape for
strangers. G. W. I. Loadholt, J. W. Jenncy,
and Esquire J. R. Law mounted him,
filled with all the misgivings that belong
to a "tenderfoot" in his first experience
with a bronco.
From the Committee.
Ehrhardt, S. C., July 15,1901.
Editor Thk Bambero Herald: Inasmuch
as Mr. J. A. Chassereau, one of
the town council at Ehrhardt, stated in a
meeting of said council that the Methodists
had held a caucus for the purpose
of having the artesian well located near
the Methodist parsonage in order to enhance
the value of church property, and
he has intimated as much in public print;
and whereas his reference was to a committee
appointed by the quarterly conference
of the Methodist church for the
purpose of looking after the repairs of
the parsonage yard ancl lot, which committee
met on the 20th of June, the same
day, according to the minutes of the
town council, on which the site for the
artesian well was selected; therefore, we,
the Committee, thus falsely accused, deem
it proper and necessary to set ourselves
straight before the public.
In the beginning we wish to emphatically
deny the charge in toto. This committee,
as" is shown by the minutes of the
quarterly conference, was appointed on
the 11th of M&y, before, we are told,
Ehrhardt had contracted for a well to be
bored. The chairman of the committee
called a meeting to be held at the Methodist
parsonage on the lltli of June.
Two-of the committee only came to the
meeting and, as a majority was necessary
for the transaction of business, nothing
was done, and Thursday, the 20th of
June, was appointed by the chairman for
another meeting. On that date a majority
were present, and partly transacted
the business assigned them, and never
for one moment discussed, or even entertained
the idea of trying to influence
the town council, or any person whatsoever,
to have the artesian well located
near the parsonage.
Our pastor, Brother McKissick, expressed
to the members of the committee
his regrets that the well was going to be
put so near the parsonage as the centre
of the cross streets where a stake had
been driven, and at which place it was
said the well would be bored. His regrets
were based on the supposition that there
would be much loafing around the well,
and that profane laguage would be indulged
in to the annoyance of himself
and family. We consoled him, somewhat,
with the thought that if no shelter was
placed over the well, around it would be
too hot in summer and too cold in winter
for much loafing. There the matter was
dropped and nothing more said about it
in our meeting.
Now, since >Ir. Chassereau has so
rashly accused the Methodist church
through this committee, we demand the
proof of his accusation. We defy him to
prove that the Methodist church, by fair
or unfair means, tried to influence the
location of the well near the parsonage
or any where else.
Until lie- does prove it he stands branded
as a falsifier and a slanderer, and the
public will be the judge whether the rottenness
is in the Methodist church or in
Mr. Chassereau. And for the very reason
that there are so many men like Mr
Chassereau in the world, the Methodist
church should not "go out of business."

Intendant Dannelly Takes a Hand.
Editor Tiik Hamhkko IIkrald: In
vour issue of July lltli "Mr. Chassereau
Replies," hut to what he replies is what
the most of us are trying to understand,
hut in his reply lie makes statements that
are calculated to mislead the public mind
if a proper understanding of the facts in
the case are not had. When we the town
council of Ehrhardt, or rather a majority
of the council, as one member was out of
town, contracted with The Hughes
Specialty Well Drilling Co. to bore a
well in our town, it was not at a meeting
of council, for there are n.? minutes to
show that such a meeting was ever had,
but it was the understanding then, on
Jan. lKth. 1901. that the well was to labored
in the middle of the cross streets
between Messrs. Kinard, Chassereau, the
parsonage and opposite corner lot. When
the workmen came to drill the well
they asked for the location. Your Intcndant
was in Charleston. Mr. I. W. Carter,
one of the wardens, was out of town on
business, and Mr. T. L. I'earlstine, the
councilman who was absent when eon
tract was maue. onjecieu u> u ?. mi: j-m
in the middle of the cross streets, on the
ground that the streets were not wide
enough, and that if placed in the middle
of the cross streets, and a good tlow obtained,
that it would lie unsafe fyr ladies
coming in town, as it was calculated to
frighten horses that are not used to such.
This was on the 20th. Nothing was done
towards the well that day, the workmen
being busy all day unloading. That
night, when all of council came to town,
and Mr. Pearlstine's objections were
noted, I called the entire council together.
Now, right here let me say that this
council is composed of one Methodist,
two Baptists, one dew, ami one with no
religion at all. The location of this well
was discussed pro and eon and it was decided
by a majority vote to put the well
at its present site. Now, it is not good
policy to publish speeches made in a
council meeting, and I have never practiced
it, but after the piece, as written by
"Ge Col," appeared in your issue of 4th
instant, Mr. Chassereau took exception
to it and asked the writer his authority.
Mr. Chassereau was then asked if he did
not say that "the Methodists had caucused
to have that well placed near the parsonage."
lie said: "No: I said that it
looked to me like it was an understanding
between the Methodists to have the well
placed near the parsonage, as several of
the committee had asked him in person to J
use his inlluence to move it from the
middle of the street and put it on the
corner nearest the parsonage." Now,
Mr. Editor, judging from Mr. Chassereau's
reply, one would conclude that he is mad,
or at least not well pleased, and it is not
our purpose to discuss the matter. Head
what several of this Methodist committee
have to say:
I, J. F. .Tones, was appointed at the2nd
quarterly conference as one of the
committee to look after the repairs needed !
on the parsonage, and met that committee j
at the parsonage on that business. Posi-1
tively I did not know until I got there,!
that the town of Ehrhardt intended to I
have an artesian well bored. I also further
state that I heard Rev. McKissick say he
rather they would not put the well that
close to the parsonage, and I believe he
meant what he said. As for me, I rather
the well was not there, as I do not care
tn i.iilmnr.c its value, as 1 am opposed to
selling it. J. F. Jones.
See what another says:
I, C. F. Reiftz, was appointed chairman
of a committee to look after the repairs
needed on our parsonage at Ehrhardt,
and appointed a day for the rest of the
committee to meet me at the parsonage.
We met not knowing until we got there
and found the men moving their machinery,
that the town was going to have
a well itored. I heard Bro. Mclvissick
say he did not want the well that close
to the parsonage. This was said when
the |H)st was in the middle of the street.
C. F. Rkxtz.
Another committeeman talks: I,
J. G. Rhoad, was appointed by the 2nd
quarterly conference of Ehrhardt charge,
which met at Zion church, on a committee
to repair the parsonage property.
Mr. C. F. Rent/, was chairman of that
committee. On Sunday afternoon, the
10th of June, he asked me to meet that
committee the next Thursday at the parsonage.
I went there, positively not
knowing or caring anything about the
artesian well at Ehrhardt. On my
arrival I asked what all that lumber was
in the street for. and Rev. McKissick
said it was for the purpose of boring an
artesian well, and said it was too close to
the parsonage, and wished it was further
away. I heard all of the committeemen
say they wished it was To or lot) yards
from the parsonage, and as for myself, if 1
had any influence, I used it to move the
well further from the parsonage.
J. G. Riioad.
Now, Mr. Editor, these are the facts in
the case and if necessary, can furnish
affidavit to establish every one of them.
I leave it for you and the public generally
to say who has circulated contradictory
or falsifying statements.

The most important feature of the
day for the gallant militamen were the
prize shooting contest and raffle for a
saddle and bride. The successful contestants
were Messrs. Clarke and MeTeer.
Lieutenant C. S. Clarke is one of the finest
rifleshots I have ever seen. Mr. James
Shorter won the booby prize. The most
important feature of the day to me was
talking to the beautiful young ladies, of
which this section has a large number.
The next day (Friday) I took a trip on
the Combahee River to see the rice plantations.
Was treated very nicely during
the warm part of the day by the courteous
young manager, Mr. Bagot. From there
I took an extended trip through several
other plantations, among those visited being
that of Capt. I). C. Ileyward, ^who is
said to lead the race for governor, in the
lower part of the State. The residents of
this section arc a hospitable, courteous
people, whom it is a pleasure to meet,
and I hope to visit them again. S.

VANITY OF SAVAGES. |
Red 3fen Love to I'osc In Grotesque |
Attire Eefore the Camera.
As evidence of the extent to* which a
the ornamental precedes the useful Ex- I
plorer Humboldt noted the fact that
j the Orinoco Indians in fair weather
I strutted about attired in all the finery
they were able to 1 rocure, their faces
painted gaudily, their heads decked
with feathers, their whole aim being to R
strike astonishment to the beholder ^
and no regard whatever had for comfort.
When the weather was bad, Humboldt
found that the same men would
doff their clothing and carry it about to
save it for display on future sunny
days. ?
The same traits are seen today in the
North American Indians, little modified
by many years of intermingling with
civilization.
That part of Pennsylvania avenue,
Washington, running from Second to
Sixth street is the favorite promenade
of visiting Indians. Portions of Second
and Third streets, running off "the
avenue, are filled with boarding houses
especially patronized by the redskins
and especially avoided by the whites in
consequence.
A number of photographers in the vicinity
are the chief attractions of this
neighborhood for the aborigines. Xotli
ing so delights them as to strut gravely
from their boarding houses to these art
galleries to sit for solemn pictures at
TTnelo Sam's oxnenso. the bill being fi
charged in with necessaries incidental m
to a visit to the great father.
To deprive the visiting Indian of the
privilege to sit for his photograph in
full paint and feathers and a grotesque
mixture of cheap ready made garments
with blankets and bear claws would be
the greatest hardship possible to tin
chieftains.
Showing the same disposition Humboldt
noted, the visitors get themselves
up more barbarously the closer they
get to civilization.?St Louis Uepublic.
A RARE VOLUME BY PENN.
Only Known Copy Is Owned by
Qnakern In 1'hiludclphin.
The only known copy of Penn's issue
of "Magna Charta," published in H587 r
by the Bradford Press, is the property I
of the Meeting For SuHerings, a repre- y
sentative body of the Friends' yearly
meeting iu Philadelphia. Its title is
"The Excellent Privilege of Liberty
and Propriety; Being the Birthright of ?
the Freeborn Subjects of England." _
The copy is not generally open to the |
public.
The peculiar significance of this book
is that a half dozen years after Penn
founded his colony he wished to have
the colonists keenly realize that they
would have to stand for their rights in
the new country as well as the old.
where they had been so cruelly persecuted.
lie wrote this book in order that
they might be informed on the constitution
of their local government and I
I i-nnir wlmt wpre the leiral bases of *
their rights as citizens.
Curiously enough the only proof
there is that this work was William
Penn's is the statement made by Chief
Justice David Lloyd in 1728. a great
Quaker leader who was Fenn's attorney
general at the time the book was
Issued. Chief Justice Lloyd was also
at that time an intimate friend of William
Feun and consequently knew
whereof lie sjioke.
The volume was reproduced in facsimile
by the Fhilobiblon club in 1SP7 m
for a limited number of subscribers, i
The original volume, however, must al- I
ways remain the rare thing that it is, S
one of the best expressions of liberty
under law that the mind of the great ^
founder could conceive.?Philadelphia
