Last Thursday several of of our boys
went up to Denmark to play with a team
from that town in a game against Blackville.
Denmark won, the score standing
seven to two. The game was called at
the end of the sixth inning 011 account of
injuries sustained by Mr. C. R. Brabham,
f Jr., in sliding to a* base. He sprained
some muscle in his left arm, but is getting

f, Our city fathers are certainly making
the right move in extensive street improvements.
Nothing benefits a town
more than good streets and sidewalks,
j and the money now being spent 011 our
streets is being used in the best possible
way. Bamberg's streets and sidewalks
are now very much better than a great
many towns its size in the State, and it is
the purpose of our city authorities to
4 continue the work of permanent improveV
ments as long as the money holds out.

Letter to Mrs. M. M. Eaves,
Bamberg, S. C.
Dear Madam:?We feel certain that
you will agree with us when we say that
the real cheapness is 1101 m uie nrsi cost,
but in the ratio of cost to service. There's
an expert diamond cutter that gets $T>0 a
day, aud his employers declare that he is
the cheapest man tliev have got.
First cost for L. <k 5l. paint is more than
dealers ask for benzine, barytes, thin
paints, but when you have had your painter
add a large quantity of linseed oil to
the paint, the actual cost is lower than
the lowest. Then how our paint wears?
an iron-clad guarantee and a sale of four
million pounds yearly, amply sustain our
claim of l>est ami cheapest paint in the
United States.
The Bamberg Pharmacy will be pleased
to supply you with color cards and further
information. Yours sincerely,

To Our Subscribers.
The money season is now at hand, and
- we have waited patiently for the monej
due us, because we knew you didn't have
; it during the summer. But it seems thai
, every one ought to be able to pay for his
paper during the next month or so. If i
man can't pay us during the fall, we had
rather not have him as a subscriber. Il
costs money to run our business, and in
order to pay our debts, we must collecl
what is due us. There is nothing compulsory
about taking the paper, and il
you take it, we want pay for it. We regret
to put a "dun" in the paper, but it
takes time and monev to send a statement
to each subscriber. There are very many
of our subscribers who pay in advance,
and to those who pay so promptly we are
very grateful. The proportion who owe
us money is very small, and some of
I m<u?p ik manv oromises to
iUVOV Mil I V ?- J r
pay. Unless those who are behind pay
up, The Hkuai.d to them will be discontinued.
This is not meant for those who
pay promptly. The date on the label of
your paper shows how you stand.
Letter of Acceptance.
Bamberg, S. C., August 18,1901.
Gov. M. B. McSweeney, Columbia, S. C.
Dear Sir:?I am in receipt of the appointment
to the treasureship.of Bamberg
county, tendered me by you on August 9,
instant. Occurrences over which I had
no control have caused a very regrettable
delay in this my letter of acceptance, and
on account of my inability here fully to
explain, I appeal to your magnanimity
for temporary pardon. I am sure that it
is within your knowledge, as I feel that it
is known by my fellow-citizens, that no
one in the county regrets more thoroughly
than I do the unfortunate train of
circumstances that have led up to this appointment.
On account of the great number of
letters received and kind expressions
heard, so confident am I of the good will
of the people, including that of my
esteemed predecessor, that I enter upon
the discharge of the duties of the appointment
feeling that it gives offense to none.
I place a special valuation on the com
I mission, not lUI Hit' jutuuuuj vwn^kv?v?u
tion that may accrue by its virtue, but because
it is a testimonial of your very
high confidence which I hope and shall
strive to retain unshaken when the commission
must be returned. I thank you
for this very rare consideration.
Yours very respectfully,.

SHOOTING IN BRANCHVILLE.
\ Bartow Warren Shoots and Seriously
; Wounds Thomas Watson.
& Last Monday night at Branchville Bar|
tow Warren shot and probably fatally
[ wounded Thomas Watson. Both parties
t are young white men. It will be remem1
bered by our readers that Warren is the
' man who was tried at the last term of
; court in Orangeburg county on the charge
of robbing an express car while the train
was just below Branchville. The case resulted
in a mistrial. Watson was the
chief witness against Warren, testifying
that Warren had approached him some
! time before the robbery and asked him
to go into it with him. Both men have
1 otnnn t li/ tl'ifll
rcuiimiKi in in(ijii.ii> nit .-luit ?.???. .......
Warren being out on bond, and there was
no doubt bitter feeling against Watson
by Warren on account of the testimony
given.
The story of the shooting in iletail is
as follows: Watson was sitting on the
postoffice steps shortly before 10 o'clock
and was talking with Mr. W. W. Lightsey,
bookkeeper for R. Pcarlstine & Sons,
when Warren advanced.
"Is that you, Mr. Lightsey?" he asked.
Mr. Lightsey answered in the affirmative.
"Well, get out of the way, then," was
the stern command and Warren closed in.
Turning to Watson he shouted :
"Is that you Tom Watson? Well,
you've wrecked 1113' life," he added, and
with that the pistol Hashed in the moonlight.
Before Mr. Lightsey could ii&crfere
Warren had fired four times stad,
while his victim was gasping for breath,
he dodged behind the building and was
gone.
Medical aid was quickly summoned and
Watson was removed into the drugstore,
where the doctors began probing for
the bullets. The wounds in the body
were considered ratal ami amieu u?
was the danger from the ball which had
lodged in the head. Everything possible
was done to relieve the young man, but
the case was almost hopeless and it was
apparent that death was almost certain to
follow. After he had been shot Watson,
who had been trying to get beyond range
of the bullets, managed to walk about
two hundred feet, when he fell down exhausted.
Warren did not leave until he
had seen his enemy on the ground.
It seems that Watson had no warning
of the intended attack, and that the shooting
was done in cold blood. As soon as
the news was received at Columbia, one
o'clock Tuesday morning, Dr. LeGrand
Guery immediately left for Branchville,
arriving there at 4.30. As soon as possible
Watson was carried to Columbia
and placed in the hospital, where he is
being treated at this writing. He is
terribly wounded, and his chance for life
is slim, although he is making a brave
light. He received three wounds, one shot
in the head, the ball lodging in the brain,
one in' the left side of the abdomen,
making six punctures of the intestines,
one in the back, lodging in the spinal
chord, nroducinir complete paralysis from
the waist down. The physician says that
either of the three wounds would be sufficient
to cause death in twenty-four
hours to one of ordinary endurance. An
operation on the bowels has been performed
and the six punctures in the intestines
stitched up. If the patient regains
strength the ball in the brain will
be removed to-day. Warren used a 44
calibre pistol.
Immediately after the shooting Warren
made his escape, but hid in the woods
around Brauchville for several hours and
took the 4:30 train Tuesday morning, going
towards Charleston. He boarded thetrain
at the coal chute, and as he did so
there was a fusilade of shots from guns
and revolvers. Watson's relatives had
been pursuing him and were the ones
who fired at him. None of the shots took
effect, however, and he made good his
escape. The governor has offered a reward
of $400 for his arrest.
It is said that Watson had no weapon
and had no opportunity to defend himself,
even had he so wished. Warren and
Watson had not spoken to each other
since the trial of Warren.
If the action of your bowels is not easy
anil regular serious complications must be
the final result. l)eWitt's Little Early
Hiscrs will remove this danger. Safe,
pleasant and effective. Bamberg Pharmacy.
Fine Crops.
Last Friday, in company with Senator
S. G. Mayfield, Mr. Chas. McGeiver, his
manager, and Messrs. J. I). Milhous and
D. F. Hutto, weTode over some fine farms
in this county. Leaving Denmark, our
route was down towards Dowling's mill,
and from there by Ghent's Branch church
to Lees. We saw some fine crops, as well
as poor ones. Mr. McGeiver has a fine
cotton crop on his farm at Flat Pond
school house, and there are other fine
crops in the same neighborhood. However,
the cotton in that section has been
damaged by too much rain, and is taking
rust and shedding off its fruit. Mr. Mayfield's
Turner plantation also has a good
crop on it, but the prettiest farms and
best crops we saw were up around Lees.
The cotton there is large and heavily
fruited, and lots of it will no doubt make
fully a bale or more to^he acre. On one
field of Senator Mayfield's plantation we
saw cotton which is planted in rows seven
feet apart. It will now average something
over five feet in height, and is touching
between the rows. It is very green, is
heavily fruited and still growing, and it
is l>elieved the field will yield two bales
and a half to the acre. It is certainly a
fine field of cotton, and is worth goingto
see. Senator Mayfield is one of the largest
planters in the county, and expects to
make six hundred bales of cotton this
year.
Since taking this trip, we have seen
some fine cotton crops near town, among
them being those of Messrs. J. J. Simmons,
J. J. Jones, J. C. Slopes, J. W.
Stokes, and others.
The corn crop of this county as a general
thing, so far as we have seen, is very
poor, and in some sections cotton will
also make very little.
