Last Sunday morning about two o'clock Sheriff Hunter was called out of bed to receive a prisoner, a white man who had been caught in the store of J. B. Gillam, Jr., at Lees. The prisoner was in charge of Mr. Walter Cave. Saturday night about eleven o'clock some young fofks returning from a social gathering noticed a light in the store of Mr. Gillam, and thinking strange of it thevwent to his house and notified him.He * ----- ,-i 4. .1 ..11 ?,1 SI OllCC gOl a crown lugi'iuci, All annul, and they surrounded the store, hearing the robber on the inside, who had lighted two lamps. Mr. Jas. Fickling went to the window and called on him to surrender, and his reply was a pistol shot, the bullet passing through Mr. Fickling's hat. The ball was fired through the window pane, and the broken glass cut Mr. Fickling a , little on his neck, making him believe at first that he had been hit. The robber fired several times at the party surround- ing the store and then ran to the back door and looked out. Just as he put his 1 head out of the door he was fired on by Mr. Gillam with a gun loaded within number seven shot, the load striking him 1 in the face. He then called out that he was killed and was ready to surrender. He was at once put in charge of an officer . and brought to jail. The robber gave his name at first as { I Williams, hut Sunday night he admitted ; to Deputy Sheriff J. Felder Hunter that ! his name was C. C. Campbell. He is a , white man, 27 years old, and says lie was J born in Hammond county, Tennessee. ' He seems very penitent ov cr his act, and freely talks to all who visit him, and has 1 told Deputy Hunter the complete history of his life. * He says he has been bad all ' &is life, that he would steal even as a child, and no amount of punishment inflicted !: by his parents had any effect on him. J liis father is livingin Tennessee,and was at one time a wealthy man, but has lost much of his property through the escapades of this son. His father has thirteen s children, and all the rest are doing well. \ Campbell says he has been in the peniten- ^ tiary and in "prison in various places for ( theft, and that he was confined in an t asylum in Knoxville during 1S9G and r 18*97, hoping to be cured of this mania for x stealing. lie says he cannot help it?that r he has been a wanderer for years on ac- c count of it. He got Deputy Hunter to r write a letter to his father, telling him of t his trouble and saying that he was shot and thought it would be best if he was to v die, and asked that his only sister pray c for him. He says it would have been best f for him if he had been killed in the store c Saturday night, and the reason he gave s an assumed name was he didn't want his r folks to know about him. ] He will not die, however. At first it was thought he would lose the sight of t one eye, but County Physician Baggott, who is attending him, now thinks it will ^ be saved. Some of the shot took effect in his mouth, and knocked out several of v his teeth. He is the same man who was arrested t, at Branchville last June for breaking into the store of Mr. Dukes there. He was j caught in the store and several shots were jj exchanged between him and Mr. Dukes, but he got away. However, he was arrested below Branchville the next day, and was tried at the January court in Orangeburg for the crime. He pleaded , his own case, and the jury found him not . guilty. When he was given his liberty in Orangeburg, a purse of about $40 was made up and given to him. From there he went to Columbia and worked in the , cotton mills thereuntil last Friday, when 1 he came from that city to Denmark, going ' on up to Lees Saturday. He says he went. ' to sleep late Saturday afternoon in the little depot shed at Lees, and when he : waked that night everything was quiet J! and he concluded to break into the store, so he procured an axe he had seen lying b around the gin house and broke open a ^ window. First he went to the safe and "* with the axe broke it open, but found no * money of any consequeuce. He says there . was nothing but a sack of pennies in the 11 safe. He then turned his attention to the /\f ov-wvlc nn.l lm.fl sflorted some i clothing, shirts, etc., for himself, when surprised by the party outside. Mr. Andrew Byrd," of Branchedle, was in the 11 city Monday and positively identified e him as the man who was tried for the Branchville robbery. As Mr. Gillam's e store is used as the post-office, Campbell ^ is held as a United States prisoner, and a will be tried in the U. Si Court for breaking into a post-office. He will no doubt V plead guilty at his trial, as there is notli- a ing else for him to do. c It will be remembered that Mr. Gillam's ? store was broken into a little over a year ago, and his safe blown open, the robbers securing something over a hundred dol- a lars. No clue to that robbery has ever v obtained. | In the letter which Campbell got Mr. ^ Hunter to write to his father, telling of the trouble he was in, he did not ask for help. He said he had already cost his father too much money, and was willing to abide by the consequences of his acts. He seems to be a bright, shrewd fellow, (] and appears to have considerable education. j ? Mr. Dempsey Assaulted. Last Saturday night Mr. A. R. Dempsey, J. who lives at Midway, was assaulted with murderous intent by an unkown person, j Some time after dark Mr. Dempsey heard some unusual noise out about his horse s lot and went out to investigate. When a he was near his shop he was suddenly attacked by some man who struck him s r?n thn lipml with a Stick Or 1 OV T Vi tfcJ. I/1V ?? o VM v*?v ? ^ some otlier heavy weapon, and also attempted to cut him with a knife. His g clothing was badly cut, but the knife did not Veach the flesh. Mr. Dempsey N defended himself as best he could and called for help, whereupon his son came x out with a gun and fired at the party, who was running off, but did not hit him. Mr. Dempsey was badly bruised by the blows on his head, and was laid up for several ^ days. It was very dark at the time, and < as he was attacked without warning, he k did not recognize his assailaut, and has , no idea who it was. ^ New Advertisements. j C. B.

Editor The Bamberg Herald:?I no:iced with great pleasure in your valuable j paper two or tliree weeks ago that the jood people of Bamberg county met in joint session in the court house at Bamberg, with the patriotic Confederate 1 brave, to discuss the advisability of erect- t ing to the memory of the living and dead 1 Don federate brave of the late war between the states, a monument. i I notice with pleasure that I have been selected as one to labor for this cause. ( [ am only sorry it was not my good for- ( :une to have been present on that occasion, for I am heartily in favor of this t ;oken of respect and any thing that can j ie Hone for these frrand old heroes, and , [ am of the opinion I understand that a J young friend of. mine expressed at the meeting, to wit: That the sons and laughters of Bamberg county should go 1 ;o the front and erect this monument to i ;he memory of these brave and patriotic i soldiers, who spilt their life's blood on the ? Dattle field of honor in defense of their lomes and loved ones.Icall on everyyoung nail and every young woman in the coun - f ;y of Bamberg and in adjoining counties < ;o rally around th e flag that was so nobly 1 lefended by these heroes and to do so at r ince and let us erect to their sacred mem-: >ry a monument second to none, so well Jeserved by these noble heroes. [ As I understand it, this monument is to j1 ie erected to the memory of the first S. C. I Regiment that was led and commanded 11 )y tliatgreat chieftain and statesman, Gen. 1 Fohnson Hagood. I feel more interestid in this monument than any other, while [ am ever ready aud willing to do any ,hing that will add honor, comfort and < pleasure to the Confederate brave any ( place they may be found. My interest iii . ;his monument is this: I was born in the >ld county of Barnwell, which is the mother county of our noble litttle county, 1 md the great chieftain and statesman that cd this noted regiment on the field of i jattle was a native of old Barnwell coun;y, and I will venture to say a large por- , aon of his brave soldiers were from the . same place. When Gen. Beauregard laptured old fort Sumter on the 11th day )f April, 1861, and the news was broad J last over this fair land of ours that the * Northern armies were trying to invade 1 jur fair sunny South, I will assert, with- 1 5ut fear of contradiction, that there never j was a braver set of men fell in line and ] marched to the front thau the first S. C. Regiment. The erection of this monument ought ' ;o be done by the sons and daughters of 1 ;he patriotic Confederate sol :liers. I only 1 ivish it was in my power to erect it alone md invite them to rally around the monument bedecked with the llag that represents what many of their number has died his life blood for on the battle field Df honor. 1 I with great pleasure saw where the ( legislators of this State had introduced a < bill appropriating $200,000 for the living ? lierocs and their dead comrades' widows ( [ only wish that the legislature was amp- ( ly able to appropriate ten times as / much. . This appeal is to the young people. I'here are only a few of the old heroes left. J We should get to work at once, so as to * let as many look on this beautiful monu- 1 ment as possible, as there i^liardly any of 1 them that have not about reached the limit, which is sixty and ten. Now, in conclusion, I will say that I do Lope and trust that the young people of Bamberg count}' will put all their energy j to work and erect a monument that will, ? as near as possible, do credit to the memory of the noble men whose names will be ' cherished on each side, and let us start j forth with the determination to succeed. { We will need about thirty-five hundred dollars; let us go to work and get. it; we (;an do it; others have succeeded and I know we have as good people in Bamberg county as anywhere else; all we have to I do is to get to work.

The Abject Deference Shorm Them by Civilians Is Amailng. The respect and deference shown to the German army officer on dnty and off duty by his countrymen are wonderful to see, according to a London writer. "Chilians, even compatriots of distinction, on entering the dining room bow to him with formal humility. He acknowledges the obeisances only with a rigid glare of haughty indifference, though he is politely conscious of the coming and going of ladles. The German civilian does not appear to be surprised at or to resent being contemptuously ignored by him, but recognizes him and looks up to him as a superior member of a superior race and continues to make his obeisances, however loftily they are ignored. "But, while the officer is unable to see the civilian at whom he is looking point blank, he never misses observing the entrance and acknowledging the salute of another of his own race. Fie rises from his seat and stands stiff and erect while the newcomer advances and exchanges formal bows and greetings, and as he recovers the erect position from the bow he brings bis heels together with a sharp parade click and waits until his superior has taken a seat before he resumes his own." There were tremendous ceremonies In eating and drinking, too, especially In drink.'jig. "Each table group lifted their glasses invariably together, as if at the word of command,- taking their time apparently from the senior present Having seized their glasses together and raised them together and simultaneously drunk, they would sumultaneously finish and then, holding their glasses before them, would with great ceremony bow to one another before replacing them on the table. It did not matter whether they were drinking beer or claret or the German champagne, which seems to be the especially smart thing to take, there was the same ceremony. When a senior officer went out of the room, all the juniors present rose to stiff Attention ana bowed as ne passea. When a junior rose, he made the round the ta ble on his way to the door and bowed separately, with a spur jingling heel click every time to every other officer." PICKINGS FROM FICTION.
