L. A. Klauber. t( We take the following from the Batesburg correspondence of the State: "The killing of Mr. King at Bamberg created much feeling here. Mr. King spent several months in our town, and many friends by his quiet and gentlemanly ? bearing." From Tuesday's News and Courier we learn that the house has passed Represen- c tative Dowling's bill abolishing the office $ of township commissioner in Bamberg county. This no doubt means we are to have only two county commissioners to act with the Supervisor. The year 1904 is a leap year, says an ^ exchange.

Peterman, who 1 died last Monday in Charleston was brought to Bamberg Tuesday night on s tbe train. It was carried over in Orauge burg county yesterday morning for burial. Mr. Peterman was well known in this 1 section of country. He married a sister ? of Mrs. B. D. Bronsonv his wife being Miss Janie Kittrell before her marriage. c Mr Peterman ran a general merchandise . store at Denmark several years ago. The Western blizzard reached Bamberg . Monday night, and considerable damage j was done by the high wind. Several negro bouses were blown down, as well t as considerable fencing. The wind mill ( tower at the residence of the editor of , The Herald was blown down and the , water tank, wind mill, tower, etc., badly j demolished. On account of the heavy wind and rain, many houses leaked, and . the damage in various ways is considerable. j Visit our store when in town and be convinced that we give you the best goods j for the least money. We have our store i filled to overflowing with bargains in every department. Give us a call. L. A. Klauber. The application for bail for J. H. Tillman for the killing of N. G. Gonzales took place at Newberry last Thursday, and the hearing was adjourned until today at Columbia in order that the State might have time to reply to the affidavits offered by the defendant. Two affidavits were presented to the effect that Gonzales had said something about making Tillman show the white feather. Tillman's affidavit stated that this had been repeated to him and that he thought Gonzales was armed and intended to shoot him. f KlN(x ARRESTED. The Florence Murdercr Captured at Denmark East Thursday. East Thursday morning Sheriff Hunter received a telephone message asking him to go to Denmark and arrest W. C. King, the man wanted in Florence for the killing of one man and the wounding of another. Deputy Sheriff J. Felder Hunter drove up to Denmark in response to the message and found there Sheriff T. S. Burch,of Florence, who had arrived there that morning at an early hour. As he was well known to King, he kept out of sight, for he knew that King would realize at once, if he saw Sheriff Burch, what was up. It was decided therefore to let Deputy Hunter arrest the man, and he was assisted by C. J. Baxter. They expected King to be armed and prepared to resist arrest, so be was taken by surprise as he was walking on the street, returning from Senator Mayfield's, where he was employed. King is crippled in the right arm, from the effects of of a pistol shot wound, md shoots with his left hand. When Deputy Hunter put his hand on King's shoulder Mr. Baxter immediately grasped tiim by the left arm, and even if he had wanted to resist, there was no use. He was searched and a pistol found in the nside pocket of his vest. King also had i Winchester ritle, which was found in jis room before the arrest was made. Deputy Hunter turned his man over to Sheriff Burch, who carried him back to Florence the same afternoon. It will be remembered that a few weeks igo King shot a young man named Sam Rogers in Florence county and; seriously -vounded James Rogers, the boy's father. Ie also attempted to shoot the boy's nother, but his pistol snapped. He left minediately after the shooting, and says ie went to Columbia first and from there o Denmark. He called on Senator Mayield the morning after arriving at Dennark and represented himself as an ex>ert tobacco grower and made a bargain vith the Senator to plant 10 or 12 acres >n shares, he to do all the work and Mr. Hayfield to furnish the land and fertili:ers. It is said that King was getting on licely with his work, and was returning rom Senator Mayfieki's place when arested. The meeting between King and ihcriff Burch is said" to have been very effecting, especially when the time came o handcuff him. The Sheriff said they lad been friends, aud that King had asisted him in making arrests. He said Ling was a dangerous man, and warned leputv Hunter that his safetv in arrest ng him depended on getting close nough to grapple with him. Said King rould fight forty men if he could get to ise his pistol. King did not appear to be greatly down ast over his arrest. He was going by lis own name at Denmark, and said he tended going back to Florence for trial time for court, but did not want to tay in jail. Since being put in jail at "lorence he says the same thing, and laims self defence, but will not give his tory of the killing. How he came to be arrested at Deniark is that the intendant, Mr. Wash lightower, saw King there, and, having ead the description of the man wanted, ame to the conclusion that King was the ight man. Accordingly he telephoned r wired the Sheriff of Florence county, -ho came over in response. A reward f $200 was offered for King's capture, nd we suppose Mr. Hightower will get it. An Enterprising Farmer. Mr. W. I. Johns, formerly of Bamberg, ut now of Baldoo, Barnwell county, was ? the city for several days last week on visit to relatives and on business. Mr. ohns is paying considerable attention to ie raising of fine jersey cattlQ. <1 Berkbire hogs. He had just rety from iiltmore, N. 0., the Vano^rtfltt stock irm, where he bought three females and lie male hog, paying over $200 each for iera. This sale was the largest hog sale yer held in this country, and consisted blely of imported Berkshire stock, all rize winners at the stock shows of Fngind. Sixty-one hogs were sold, and the verage .price was $222. The highest riro vl'mr iwer fnr a male. * v"' " ** ' ~ * Mr. Johns has been raising fine cattle >r several years, and has only prize rinning stock. He bought the hogs for reeding purposes, and he already has iany orders for pigs. His example is a ood one, and his efforts to improve the ;ock of this section will prove of material enefk. It is economy to raise the best attle and hogs, for one gets so much etter results from them, and his venture rill no doubt'prove successful from a naucial standpoint as well as a benefit 3 the country. Mr. Johus and his neighor, Mr. J. L. Ellis, were the only South arolinians who bought hogs at the Vanerbilt sale. New Advertisements. G. FRANK BAMBERG. In a new advertisement G.

When your stock and poultry are sick give them med Iicine. Don't stuff thein with worthless stock foods. Unload the bowels and stir up the torpid liver and the animal will be cured, if it be possible to cure it. Black-Draught Stock i and Poultry Medicine unloads the 1 bowels and stirs up the torpid liver. ^ It cures every malady of stock if taken in time. Secure a 25-cent can of Black-Draught Stock and Poultry Medicine and it will pav for itself ten times over. Horses work: better. Cows give more milk. Hogs gain flesh. And hens lay more eggs. It solves the problem of making as much blood, flesh and energy as possible out of the smallest amount of food consumed. Buy a can from your dealer. TEACHERS' EXAMINATION.
