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.

^.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.

?- 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.

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.

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' '

inches tall, slender built, black, sharp 1
face and head. Scar over one eye. Talks 1
and moves quick.-* J. F. 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. It cannot be stopped. P
Stop the tide! stop the day! Then stop F
public opinion !! Never. 8
Bamberg county was legalized by a 8
special act of the legislature! 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. Voters ! eoer- >s]
cion is a crime! Taxpaykk.
Boykin Reinstated. n
? - - - . it
I J. W. 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.

A Timely Suggestion.
This is the season of the year when the
wudent and careful housewife replenshcs
her supply of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 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. In almost
'very instance a severe cold may be wardid
off by taking this remedy freely as
soon as the first indication of the cold
ippears. 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.

hrough the efforts of her business men,

How to Prevent Cronp.
It will be good news to the mothers of
mall children to learn that croup can be
irevented. The first sign of croup is
loarseness. A day or two before the atack
the child becomes noarse. This is
oon followed by a peculiar rough cough.
Jive Chamberlain's Cough Remedy freely
,s soon as the child becomes hoarse, or
:ven after the rough cough appears, and
t will dispel all symptoms of croup. In
his way all danger and anxiety may be
.voided. This remedy is used by man}'
housands of mothers and has never been
mown to fail. It is, in fact, the only
emedy that can always be depended upon
nd that is pleasant and safe to take. For

A Losing Arrangement.
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.
"Well, prisoner, what have you to say
o that ?" asked the judge.
After some moments of reflection with
yes lloorward, the prisoner raised his
ead and made reply:
"W-a-1, jedge, I reckon I'll have to acept
the proposition under all of the cirumstances;
but I'm satisfied I shall lose
right smart of money by it.
