Chickens are coming home to roost in Boston. The negroes in that city are . trying to separate the races in the public schools, claiming that the negroes are not given as much attention as the whites. *** We would be glaa to see the young tu. ~ men of Bamberg organize a Business League, for such a body, managed properly, can be of much bene lit to the town. PS We would like to see some of our enterprising, progressive young men make a S5 move in this direction. ** , Really there is no place like South Y Carolina. We have the linest climate and the best people anywhere on earth. Last week the inhabitants of New York were freezing, on account of the weather and lack of fuel, and here in South Carolina o it was balmy, pleasant weather. And when it is cold, we can get plenty of fuel to keep us warm. iV .-V ' . * * * ^.Special attention is called to the notice of mass meeting in another part of this paper. Our people are at last awake on the subject of a suitable graded school building, and every one in favor of the proposition should attend the mass meeting. A new building is a necessity, and we feel sure the meeting will authorize an election on the subject. *** * South Carolina has at last reached a -point in commercial development where it is attracting the attention of Northern newspapers and magazines: Even the New York Sun recently sent one of its j . staff to this State, who gave "write-ups" to Charleston and Columbia, and a week ranrckceintatixrt* nf fTornpr's Mflcr.ayinp , gV?IV|/4WVUVi?v*iv v? was in Columbia for the same purpose. Harper's will issue a mammoth Southern ^ edition of their magazine. v Bamberg is certainly progressing, and , our people are alive on the two necessary IS* adjuncts to civilization: good roads and good schools. Two thousand dollars has been voted to be spent on the highways leading into town, and a mass meeting of citizens is called for the 29th instant to consider the question of issuing bonds to erect a new graded school building. Let - . - the good work go on ! If we would be Jr * prosperous we must be progressive, and money spent for roads and schools is certainly well expended. *? * * * From the gentlemen who were in Bamberg Tuesday in regard to' a water system for the town we obtained the information that a system could be built in Bamberg for something like $15,000, and this would give us a complete system, includ^ ing a high standpipe which would give ample pressure for fires. The interest on this amount would be $750 per year, and it really seems that it would pay our citizens to vote to establish waterworks for the reduction in insurance rates alone. These gentlemen expect to visit Bamberg again in a few weeks, and we trust city council will take up the matter in earnest. L * * * ?- The Newberry Observer, iu commenting on the proposition to increase the number of circuit judges on the ground that the present ones are overworked, copies the article from this paper last week in reference to the recent term : of court. The Observer is opposed to any .r increase in the number of judges, and very rightly so. The judges are not overworked by any manner of means. If we are to judge by the number of candidates > for vacancies, the position is a soft berth, and one would have only to attend a day or so on a term of court in any county in the State to be convinced that circuit judges have a regular picnic. Harlzog Happenings. Hartzog, December 15.?We are having fine winter weather just now. Bird shooting and fox hunting are in their prime now. Mr. J. G. Rhoad and family visited Mrs. Khoad's relatives in the Ehrhardt section yesterday. Messrs. J. H. A. and Hammond Carter and Monnie Rentz were seen in town yesterday. Mr. D. N. Rhoad and family visited Mr. Charley Rentz yesterday. Listen for the wedding bells Xmas day, for they are going'to ring long and loud. Mr. J. H. A. Carter and Miss Ida Rhoad will be at the ringing. Merry Christmas to them and a Happy New Year. Mr. F. E. Steedly and Misses Bettie Steedly and Ollie Rhoad took a flying trip to Three Mile last week. We not knowing "Taxpayer's" aim by writing such pitiful pieces, but hope that he does not mean to crush Bamberg -..r , , j. _ , .... A n county. v> ouia hkc ior mm 10 taae un things into consideration and see if all r 11 are not to blame for such heavy taxes. "The longer we live the more we learn." This can be applied to county as well personal cases. The county ofiieers have come to fixing the taxes and what they say is what we pay. Weare the electors, and was "Taxpayer" one that was not elected? and wants to go back to Barnwell. I think if such an attempt would Jf:. be made some link would give way, and in Bamberg they would stay for the better or for the worse. We are looking for a chance to have something to say about good roads. It is better to make an opportunity than to await one. Let's strike with the road notion, and help country and town. J. W. R.

SAM LH.HTSKY Ml RI>EREi>, j Brutal ( rime of Negroes Near the , Town of Fairfax. I [Columbia State Sunday, December 14.] ' Some weeks ago young Sam Lightsey , disappeared as completely from his home t near Fairfax as if the earth had opened { and swallowed him up. All searches and J efforts to gain information as to what \ had become of him failed. Yesterday, ( however, a party of young men out hunt- t ing while passing through some thick woodland near the young man's home i -tumbled over his dead body. He had l been foullv murdered, and the body hid- } den away in the woods. Mr. Fred Lightsey, a relative of the f dead man, talked to the governor over < the long distance 'phone last night. He t said a negro had been arrested at Sycamore during the day who knew consider- p able of the case, and that after being f locked up he had confessed that his brother had committed the murder. This t fellow had fled, however, and parties are scouring the country in search of him. p There does not seem to be any desire to lynch, hut a most earnest desire to capture 1 the negro and let the law take its course with both of them. Mr. Lightsey wired Supt. Griffith of the State penitentiary asking that bloodhounds be sent down on the early morn- j iiu' train as the. course of the fugitive , was prett3* well known ami it was desired \ to follow the scent. Capt. Gritlith agreed to send the dogs owned by the State and . they left here early this morning for j Fairfax in charge of Guard Duncan who has had considerable to do with their training. Further facts about the murder could [ not be obtained last night. At a late hour the governor received the j following telegram: THE STORY CONFIRMED ! Fairfax, December 13 Gov. M. B. MeSweeney, Columbia, S. C.: ] On the night of 29th Sam Lightsey, a young white man, son of M. M. Lightsey, mysteriously disappeared from his father's house near Sycamore. His dead body was found to-day in the woods \ about a half mile from his father's. 1 Several negroes on the plantation were 1 suspected of murdering the young man 1 but the suspicions were not strong enough 5 for any arrest to be made until after the j body was found to-day. Ed Daniels and ] Bill Daniels are now under arrest and Ed ' Daniels has confessed that his brother, ' Bill Daniels, and another negro, Steve ! Holly, had told him that they killed Sam j Lightsey and threatened to kill him if he ' O itoTro Hnllu not awflv find fruiL' ' IV/1U lb. kjtv f V AAVJ ij *. ?* *.*j MM?? . . to the woods.

Ligiitsey. * the murderers arrested. t Allendale, December 14.?Some two t months ago Mr. Sam Lightsey disappeared 1 from his home, about twelve miles from \ Allendale. Mr. Lightsey was about 35 1 years old, a man who seldom left his c father's house aud led a quiet home life, t His disappearance was a deep mystery t till yesterday afternoon, when his body 1 was found a short distance from his home. Signs of foul plav were evident, and three negroes, Steve Harley, Bill Daniels and Ed Daniels, were soon arrested. Ed g Daniels turned State's evidence, aud says .. that Steve Harley and Bill Daniels called j him out of his house at night and made t him go with them, that they had the body of Mr. Lightsey and buried it in a shallow hole, throwing only a little dirt and straw on it, and that about a week ago Steve e Harley and Bill Daniels made him go with them again; took up the body to , move it elsewhere, but were frightened by the barking of dogs and left the body t where it was found. Steve Harley made his escape and a large party are after him with bloodhounds. Ed and Bill Daniels were taken to Barnwell jail by Constable Weekly today. ''Taxpayer" on Taxes in New Counties Editor Tiie Bamberg Herald:?So 1 many "indignant taxpayers" have joined ? lianas with me and urged me to "shoot 1 again, Luke, or give me the gun," 'till I 1 must shoot again or have my Christmas gun taken away from me, and I must J1 "shoot Christmas!" of course I must! j: Coming down to a matter of fact, there I ;< ? tinal wave sweeninir "the lower nart ~ of the county, an avalanche, a cascade, a 1 mighty torrent which knows no bounds 9 ?Scylla on oue hand, Cliyrybdis on the c other; a mighty force; centripetal here, 1 centrifugal there, making a malestorm }' pure and simple.

Where was the constitution V "That is the question," a as Hamlet would say. But the "question" 1 was not considered, the new county was! a Being part and parcel of the State, a part e of the lower part of the county (Bamberg) (' can be part and parcel of another county 11 by special act. ?>ee the point? Law is s law; precedent is precedent. Now, if we can go outside of the constitution to 1' formulate Bamberg count}' we can go out- v side of it to go where we please. 3 A proposition; Let the whole of Bam- n berg county come to a vote, with all of the Western edge of Colleton and the ^ Eastern edge of Barnwell and vote to- 1 gether and make the court house central and make a legal county. This will make our taxes as low as any in the State. But if we cannot come to this proposition, e then we will apply to the constitution of ^ South Carolina which at a very late day unwittingly "ratified the act of secession." c Wonderful you say! Not more wonderful c than true. a Our complaint is just. One taxpayer's taxes in four years are $200 greater" per yer, $800 in four years. Auother's $150; another's, with less property, is $00, more! e And, to cap the climax, a taxpayer to 0 Barnwell on 75 acres always paid $8.50 e now pays $0.50! Facts,fellow-citizens! j "Truth "crushed to earth will rise again, The eternal years of God's are her's, e But error, wounded, writhes in pain u And dies amidst her worshippers! " The making of Bamberg county was 0 during the Cleveland panic, and the town s] of Bamberg owned the now county of j, Bamberg, whether a man wanted to vote e, for the new county or not lie was made (\ to do so. Fellow-citizens, the panic has past. Every man's house is now his 0l castle even if there is a mortgage over it! Coercion will not count. When the day of election comes, and it will come, }s so help me God, let any one approach ^ you who holds a mortgage of your home or your property and dictate your vote, n and you report the same, the courts will | decide the consequences.

Boykin, the magistrate at " Lamar's, Darlington county, who was * removed from office because he married 0 a white man to a mulatto woman, has P been reappointed magistrate by' the SJ governor. Boykin was tried at the recent term of the "court at Darlington on a ^1 criminal charge for performing the cere- J mony and he was acquitted. The Darlington delegation, through Senator Brown, S1 recommended that he be reappointed, and the governor complied. Mr. Boykin's defense was that when j5! he married the couple lie did not know the woman was a negro as she was of a very light complexion any way, and that the ceremony was performed in an office badly lighted. He was removed, or I rather suspended from office, pending the result of the trial, and as the jury relieved him of blame his reinstatement followed.

It is certain to be needed l>eore the winter is over, and results are nuch more prompt and satisfactory when t is kept at hand and given as soon as lie cold is contracted and before it has jecome settled in the system.

There is no danger in giving it :o children for it contains no harmful substance. It is pleasant to take -both ulults and children like it. Buy it and you. will get the best. It always cures Por sale by Bamberg Phariraey. Bamberg's Example Commended. The town of Bamberg is setting.a very good example to other towns in the State in the matter of road building. The iountv of Bamberg is not in good trim financially and so the towh will vote a >um of money to be expended in building roads to the court house. This is very laudable in Bamberg. It is really the luty of the county commissioners to see ;hat the people have good and straight roads to get to the courthouses 011. This is money to the county but most court:iouse towns are satisfied to leave this natter to the commissioners while Bamjerg has undertaken it herself. What >eople (to for themselves always does hem a heap more good than those things hat they get somebody else to do. Florence has built several pieces of road hrough the efforts of her business men, he burden that ought to have been born, jy all falling on a few, in some cases a rery few but those pieces of road give Florence more cause for pride and self:ongratulation than all of the streets in /%U?f Uf/i /kAmmAt^ rvlon Ill; CilJ. if u ti/iuuiuuu ^ jnau o the other towns of the State.?Florence ~)aily Times.

Farmer Goodman suffered repeated osses from his hog yard, and after a ;ood deal of patient watching discovered hat his neighbor, Mr. Nabber, was the hief. Bei 11 <r an exceedingly srood natured nan, Mr. Goodman called on his neighior, and said to him: "Neighbor Nabber, have positive proof that you have been -er?um?well, rather careless in relaion to my hogs. My losses in conscience have been much greater than I an afford. I would like to make a comiromise with you, and not compromise ou by going to law. I'll give you 500 iounds of pork every year if you will iledge me not to?er?that is?not to be ;uilty of any further contributory negli;ence in connection with my hog yard." But Nabber declined to make any micable arrangements; in fact, he preen ded to be offended by Mr. Goodman's negations. Conditions soon became ven worse and good Mr. Goodman was riven to a heroic measure. He had his icighbor, Mr. Nabber, indicted for hog tealing. On the witness stand he told all about lis offer to compromise, and said: "I am rilliug to renew it right now. If the udge will givecousent to the arrangement, and the prisoner will agree not to uolest my hogs any more, I'll give him 00 pounds of pork every year, and let his case be dismissed.
