Thursday, January 9,1902.
If McSweeney allows that free pass act,
passed by the last legislature, to become a
law by not signing it, thus dodging the
issue, he will find it an expensive thing
for him. The proper thing to do is to
veto it, but he should have the manhood
to sign it if he is in favor of its becoming
a law.
Wednesday of last week was Negro
Day at the Charleston Exposition, and
Thomas E. Miller, president of the State
Colored College at Orangeburg, made
an address. It was full of good advice
to his race, and he advised them that
there was no such thing as social equ&jty
X: between the negro and white man.
From the additions to the pauper list,
it is plain that it will be economical for
the county to establish a poor house and
farm. The county commissioners and
grand jury are in favor of it, and our representatives
in the general assembly
should take the matter in hand and secure
the needed legislation at the coming session.
The necessity lor doming me raiiruau
commission with more power grows more
apparent every day, and the legislature
should take the needed action. With such
men as C. W. Garris composing the board,
it would do much good for the people of
the State. As it is now, many matters
come up which the commission can only
recommend action on by the railroads.
They cannot be forced, and the legislature
should give the board the power to require
the railroads to comply with their
recommendations.
As Sheriff Hunter sees- fit to insert his
advertisements only in another paper, in
order that our readers majr keep up with
all official sales, we herewith publish the
* following sales for the first Monday in
January, as a matter of news.?Bamberg
Herald.
In justice to Sheriff Hunter, this paper
wishes to say that the advertisements referred
to above were put in this paper by
one of the attorneys in the case. However,
it is his prerogative to put them in
any paper he sees fit, and no one has any
authority to question his right to do so.?
Bamberg Times.
There is nothing in the remarks of this
newspaper to warrant the inference that
any one wished to interfere with Sheriff
* Hunter's "prerogative", and the quickness
with which The Times hastens to explain
is to be wondered at, for the reason that
it has nothing whatever to do with the
matter^ In" plain language this is none of
its business, and we commend to the
thoughtful consideration of its editor the
story about a man who got rich minding
his own business. We realize, however,
that it is only an attempt on the part of
that paper to make capital out of our remarks.
Nothing in what we said was intended
to interfere with the Sheriff's
right to do as he pleased, and we were
not "kicking" about it. It was merely a
statement explaining to our readers why
we published Sheriff's sales as news. The
Sheriff has seen us about the court house
during the past two weeks, and if he had
wanted any explanation of the matter
made, he had ample opportunity to say so
to us.

$3,500 Cash Prize Contests.
The Atlanta Constitution offers two
cash prize contests from January 1st to
April loth, 1902.
$1,500 in cash prizes for agents. These
prizes range from $400 for the highest to
$5.00 for the lowest list from any agent
during the period, in addition $250 will
be divided pro rata among all agents who
send twenty or more subscriptions and
fail to get any other prize. This is a
liberal offer and the details of it will be
sent you by applying to the Atlanta Constitution,
Atlanta, Ga.
The $2,000 upon the Savannah, Ga., cotton
receipts will be given as follows:
To the person sending a yearly subscription
to the Atlanta Constitution
(weekly) together with the correct estimate
on the cotton receipts of Savannah,
Ga., from September 1st, 1901 to April
15th, 1902.
$1,000 if the estimate is received during
January.
$500 if the estimate is received during
February.
fzou ii me esumaie is receiveu uuriug
March or up to April 10th.
The above are for the exact estimates,
there are besides these the following prizes
that will be paid out for the nearest estimates
to the Savannah cotton receipts
ceipts at any time during the contest:
$250, $100, $75, $50, $25, for the next
nearest estimates in their order.
There is also a great consolation offer.
$500 will be distributed among those who
fail to secure one of the larger prizes and
whose estimates come within 500 bales
either way of the exac^ft?m-e. This allows
a margin o?_100tfbaleswithin which
all estimates-tfi-e sure to receive part of the
prize money offered. The point is to
strike the estimate exactly during January.
This is a possibility. In a contest
similiar to this the Constitution has had
the number hit exactly and paid out $1,000
for the estimate. In another similar contest
the estimate has come within one of
the exact figure, and all the prizes offered
have been paid out upon estimates that
were not fifty removed from the exact
estimate.
The Constitution's market page will
give each week the port receipts for the
cotton season from which you can always
seethe Savannah, Ga., port receipts from
September 1, 1901 up through the Friday
immediately preceding publication. This
will keep you posted to within two or
three days before you send in your estimate.

The Sunny South has been brought
under a close subscription alliance with
the Atlanta Constitution. It is jiow a
weekly literary paper conducted in the
interest of Southern readers. One of its
avowed purposes is the exploitation of
the Southern field of literature and the
encouragement of Southern talent. During
the year contests for the best competitive
stories by Southern writers will be
announced. During the past year a competition
of this character resulted in some
500 stories submitted all of which are
well worth reproduction and the majority
of them have appeared and will continue
in the Sunny South's interesting columns.
The Woman's Department of The Sunny
South has been placed under the direction
of Mrs. Mary E. Bryan. Her name

for nearly a generation. She has brought
to her work a ripened experience gained
in the service of the same clientele. *The

Tillman on Roosevelt.
Senator Tillmafi| of South Carolina,
has been lecturing in New Orleans. The
Y. M. C. A. gave him a theme, but he announced
that he woul3 not stick to the
text and he did not. He severely criticized
the Louisiana congressmen who voted
with the Republicans on the Philippine
tariff and said they had swapped principle
! for sugar. The New Orleans papers defend
their congressmen as well as they
can. The South Carolina senator took a
gloomy view of affairs. He charged that
j the administration and congress, as at
J present constituted, was run by capitalists
and speculators, and he saw 110 hope of
reform unless some honest, fearless Democrat
could carry the country and have a
congress with him. He thought that the
prosperity so clamorously heralded was
confined to spots north of Mason's and
Dixon's line and that the south had little
share in it.
When at Memphis the senator lectured
j again and in an interview, gave this spicy
comment on the president:
j "Personally, I like Mr. Roosevelt. I
think he is an honest man, striving to do
(right. But I must admit the conviction
that he is utterly incapable of performing
I the duties of the president of the United
, States as they should be performed. He
I is too much of a stormy petrel. He can't
fly when the wind is not high. Many of
his acts are not only radical,they are rash."
Speaking of the Republican party, he
said:
"With Roosevelt at its head, it is playing
right into the hands of the Democrats,
j The Booker T. Washington incident, the
i Schley court of inquiry, and other recent
! events have worked lasting injury to the
I dominant party."
"Some time ago my daughter caught a
severe cold. She complained of pains in

this remedy in my family for the past
seven years and have never known it to
fail," savs James Prendergast, merchant,

Augusta, Ga., Jan. 1.?Three people
were killed and two wounded last night
at Robbins, S. C., in a fight which occurred
during a party given at the residence
of Jesse Griffin. The participants in the
fight were white people and well known
in this part of the county. The dead are
George Dunbar, Harry Dunbar, and Fletcher
Bennet. The wounded are Mrs.
George Dunbar, and Arthur Dunbar.
A "watch party" was given at the residence
of Jesse Griffin and during the
evening William Cobb became involved
in a dispute with George Dunbar. Cobb
soon left the house. After his departure
the quarrel was taken up by Fletcher
Bennet and Dunbar drew his pistol. Griffin
was the first one to interfere by taking
Dunbar's pistol from him. Fletcher Benpet
suddenly seized the weapon and shot
Geo. Dunbar, killing him instantly. The
latter'sson, Harry came to the defense,
but was also killed by Bennet. Arthur
Dunbar, another son, also joined in the
fight and shot Bennet. The shooting
then became general and Bennet received
a second shot which killed him. Mrs.
Dunbar was also shot but it is believed she
will recover. Arthur Dunbar is fatally
wounded.
another account.
The following is a telegram from Columbia:
"Information has just been received here
giving the full amiinTnute details of the
most ,.a?ocfcing tragedy that has ever
darkened the history of Barnwell county.
"At the home of Mr. J. C. Griffin, near
Robbin's Station, a New Year's dance
was given. During the dance a young
man by the name of Hobbs trod upon th e
foot of, or in some way fell against Hevward
Dunbar. Hobbs apologized, but
young Dunbar was not satisfied and went
to his father, George R. Dunbar, telling
him that he had been insulted. Mr. Dunbar
at once drew his pistol and advanced
toward the room where Hobbe was. As
he was in the act of shooting, a bystander
knocked the pistol up. Going wide of
its mark the bullet struck Mr. Fletcher
Bennet, one of the many guests in the
room, and who was in no way connected
with the disturbance. Falling to the floor
Bennett drew his pistol and returned the
fire, shooting George Dunbar, who fell
dead with a bullet in his heart. Resting
on his elbow Bennet continued firing and
killed Mr. Dunbar's son, Harry, a 16-yearold
boy, and mortally wounded another
son, Arthur. Mrs. Dunbar, the wife ana
mother, was struck in the abdomen by a
stray bullet, which bounded from her
corset, thereby probably saving her life.
George Dunbar Kirkland, a nephew of
the deceased, now rushed upon the scene
aud drew his pistol upon the wounded
Bennet, who was lying on the floor supported
by the arm of his brother. The
brother entreated Kirkland not to shoot.
but with an oath the latter ordered him to
move and threatened to kill him also.
Without any further efforts to save his
unfortunate brother he sprang aside, leaving
him to his fate. Kirkland put two bullets
into the forehead of the prostrate
man who died instantly. The coroner
and sheriff were at once summoned and
an inquest held. Kirkland is now in the
county jail at Barnwell, having surrendered
to the sheriff.
"The wounded boy was sent to the Augusta
Hospital a few hours after he was
shot, and died there two days after."

SOME LEGAL FREAKS
CURIOUS TWISTS THAT OBTAIN IN
ENGLISH CRIMINAL LAW.
A Ferion May Be Guilty of Perjnry
Though He Sweari to the Troth?No
Such Offense as Trespass ? Points
Abont Forgrery.
In no branch of the law as It Is dispensed
In Great Britain are such curious
points to be found or a greater
number of anomalies to be met with
than in the criminal branch thereof.
It may be news to some people, for
instance, to knoxv that there are a number
of things in existence which cannot
be stolen, such as a corpse, animals
ferae naturae?i. e., animals wild in a
state of nature (with certain exceptions
created by statute)?soil of the
earth, etc. To attempt to steal nothing
would appear on the face of It to be
an impossibility, much less a crime,
but a man indicted for attempting to
pick a lady's pocket which was subsequently
found to be empty was found
guilty of an "attempt to commit theft,"
though, in fact, there was nothing in
the pocket to steal.
Any one lucky enough to pick up a
sovereign lying In the road will be glad
to hear that, if at the time of finding
It ho had no reasonable means of discovering
the owner of it, and also if he
did not at the same time conceive the
Idea of appropriating it to himself, he
will not be guilty of stealing if he
keeps his lucky find, even If the rightful
owner discovers and claims it
Most people walking in the country
must have noticed on numerous occasions
boards or placards posted up in
woods, fields, etc., notifying in large
letters that "trespassers will be prosecuted,"
but few are aware that such
notices are utterly useless and no one
need feel the least alarm thereat, there
being no such offense known in criminal
law as such a trespass, and a person
could never be prosecuted for such
an offense. They are, in fact, in the
words of that eminent jurist. Sir Frederick
Pollock, in his well known work,
"Pollock on Torts," a "wooden falsehood."
It is a common fallacy to imagine
that the crime of forgery consists in
signing another's name, though in fact
committing forgery consists in making
and uttering any false instrument in
writing with attempt to defraud; thus
it may be a forgery to omit a word
from a document, and It will be a matter
of considerable surprise to many to
learn that It is possible for a person to
forge his or her own name. A person,
however, who fraudulently inserts another's
name on a picture, thereby selling
It as the work of some ether artist,
is not guilty of forgery, as a picture is
not an "instrument in writing."
The crime of perjury also does not
quite "fit In" with the generally accepted
Idea, which Is that If a person,
after being sworn on oath to speak the
truth, swears falsely, he 1:3 guilty of
such ofTense. Tills is correct with the
important qualification that the fact
the witness has sworn to must be material
to the case. Thus, if a witness
on being duly sworn gave a false address
on being asked where he lived,
this, though untrue, would not amount
to perjury, as the pfcce where the witness
lived would; be quite immaterial.
Tliat a person may be guilty of perjury
though speaking the truth may
seem a curious a nomaly, but such nevertheless
is the L'act, as the test of perjury
is not whether a person is speaking
what he believes to be the truth:
so, If a witness, for Instance, on being
ask<*l, "What colored tie wis the prisoner
wearing when you met him?" replied
"red," when in fact he did not
really notice, he would be guilty of
perjury, even though the piisoner was
in reality wearing a red tie when the
witness met him.
Numerous other instance: r of crimes
which present similar curious points to
the above might be given, and, in passing,
persons taking out insurances
against burglary might note that this
crime can only be commlttiid between
the hours of 9 p. m. and 6 a. m.; that
breaking into a house by means of an
open door or window is not burglary,
although entering a house by sliding
down the chimney is.
We must not conclude this article
without a short reference to a comparatively
recent case In wbicfc a man not
possessing the means to pa./ entered a
restaurant, where he ordered and ate a
good dinner. As, however, he was unable
to pay for the same he was given
in charge and subsequently Indicted
for "obtaining goods by false pretenses."
The case resulted in the prisoner's
acquittal on the ground that he
had not been guilty of any false pretenses.
This individual therefore had a good
meal on the cheap, but we should not
advise any entei.-p rising reader to emulate
his example, as, although he could
not indeed be prosecuted for obtaining
goods by false pretenses, it seems that
he will still be criminally liable under
the bankruptcy act for obtaining credit
by fraudulent means.?London Tit-Bits.
A vert In* a Panic.
On one occasion John Philip iSousa by
his promptness was the direct means
of stopping a panic which might have
had the most disastrous results. While
his band was playing before; 12,000 people
in St Louis the electric lights In
the hall went out suddenly. People
began to move uneasily In their seats,
and some even began to make a rush
for the doors. Coolly tappi ag with his
baton, Sousa gave a signal, and immediately
his band began playing, "Oh,
Dear, What Can the Matter Be?" A
tiny ripple of laughter that went round
the audience showed that confidence
had partially been restored. When the
band began to play "Wait Till the
Clouds Roll By," the laughter deepenei
into a roar of merriment that
only ended when the lights were turned
on again.

"I was troubled for about seven, years
with my stomach and in bed half my
time," says E. Demick, Somerville, Ind.
"I spent about $1,000 and never could get
anything to help me until I tried Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure. I have taken a ferw bottles
and am entirely well." You don't
live by what you eat, but by what you
digest and assimilate. If your stomach
doesn't digest your food you are really
starving. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure does the
stomach's; work by digesting the food.
You don't have to diet. Eat all you want.

Refused to Leave Ilis Forge.
Chicago, January 4.?With a legacy of
$28,000 awaiting him in England, Jack
Kelly, the village blacksmth of Highland
Park, refuses to leave his forge to seek
the money and the comforts which it will
bring him. Furthermore he declares he
would keep on shoeing horses if the
amount were ten times as large.
Arrangements will be made to send the
money to him. The legacy comes to Kelly
because he was a good boy. Of Irish
birth, he was apprenticed to a well-to-do
horseshoer in Liverpool by the name of
John Proctor. He was liked by his employer
and considered one of the family.
When twenty-four years of age Kelly
came to America and from that time until
he received word of the legacy he had not
heard from the Proctors. But they had
not forgotten him. A year ago Mrs.
Proctor died and as there were no children
she willed her share of the estate to
Kelly. Shortly after that Proctor died
and left his money to Kelly. "What will
I do with my money?" said Kelly. "I'll
invest it for my three children most likely.
There is nothing that I want that it
can bring me. Here ani I a contented
man and thus I expect to remain."
Thousands Sent into Exile.
Every year a large number of poor sufferers
whose lungs are sore and racked
with coughs are urged to go to another
climate. But this is costly and not always
sure. Don't be an exile when Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consumption
will cure you at home. It's the most infallible
medicine for coughs, colds, and
all throat and lung diseases on earth. The
first dose brings relief. Astounding cures
result from persistent use. Trial bottles

Roots Had Gone Through.
Mr. William H. Buclier, of Chicago, at
one time the best-known traveling salesman
in his line, is fond of telling about
the man whose oily tongue and calm assurance
first fired him with ambition to
be a figure in commercial life, says the
New York Times.
"It happened iu the early days down on
the farm," said Mr. Bucher. The fellowhad
a patent stump puller. His style was
grandiloquent when expatiating on the
merits of his contrivance. I remember
this favorite boast:
'"Why. sir, that machine will pull up
anything that God Almighty has ever
? 1 a i in
piuniou.
"He prevailed upon us to give him a
trial and accordingly we snagged the
stubboruest stump on the farm with the
machine and attached a team of horses.
They tugged and strained, but couldn't
budge the stump. We put on more
horses. Still there was 110 sign of victory
for the stump puller. A third relay of
horse-power caused the device to close up
like a pair of scissors, and that was the
end of it. We jeered unmercifully, but
the agent met us with a solemn rejoinder:
"'That stump was planted deeper than
I thought,' he declared. 'The other party
has certainly got hold of the roots!'"
A Cure for Lumbago.
W. C. Williamson, of Amherst, Va.,
says: "For more than a year I suffered
from lumbago. 1 linally tried Chamberlain's
Pain Balm and it gave me entire
relief, which all other remedies had failed
to do." i?old by Bamberg Pharmacy.
Something New in Medicine.
Dr. John V. Shoemaker of the bureau
of eharities and corrections of this city,
who has been having a few words with
City Solicitor Kinsey, has attended more
public men and politicians in his professional
capacity than perhaps any physician
in the State. Several years ago he
was a member of the campaigning party
of Gen. Hastings. At Norristown it became
necessary to treat the future governor's
throat to a soothing spray from an
atomic sprayer, worked by a bulb and
small rubber tube. A burly countryman
with a broomstick in his hand
kept guard at the stairway leading to Gen.
Hastings' room, to prevent curious ones
from intruding.
"You can't go up," was his invariable
answer to callers.
"Why can't I go up?" finally demanded
an indignant Republican.
"'Cause there's a feller up there docterin'
him," replied the guard, referring
to Dr. Shoemaker's spraying process.
"What's he doing to the general," persisted
the visitor.
isiame ei i Know, uui ne s pumpin
wind er water into the general, an' I don't
know which. Anyway's ye can't go up."
?Philadelphia Telegraph.
A Good Recommendation.
"I have noticed that the sale on Chamberlain's
Stomach & Liver Tablets is almost
invariably to those who have once used
them," says Mr. J. H. Weber, a prominent
druggist of Cascade, Iowa. What better
recommendation could any medicine have
than for people to call for it when again
in need of such a remedy? Try them
when you feel dull after eating, when you
have a b^d taste in your mouth, feel bilious,
have no appetite or when troubled
with constipation, and you are certain to
be delighted with the prompt relief which
they afford. For sale by Bamberg
