Court convenes in Barnwell on Monday, March 9th, Judge Gary presiding. Beef cattle wanted at ouce by D. W. Shealy. Highest prices paid. ^ The tax books for the collection of city taxes are now open at the office of the city treasurer, W. P. Riley, at the Bamberg cotton mills.' Those of our subscribers at Denmark Who care to do so can settle for their subscription with Mr. W. H. Wroton, our correspondent at that place. Mr. H.:W. Adams, a son of Mr. Henry W.

The Lord reward you all. ? ^ ; Cotton has reached ten cents, and is \ still going up. It is somewhat strange ~ that the price generally goes up each ^ year just at the time the farmers are preparing to pitch their crop. The speculators must think this a good plan to increase the acreage. : Mr. U. B. Hammet, of Barnwell, has been appointed chief constable by Governor Heyward. This appointment is made under the new law creating the * office of chief constable who shall have the appointment of all other constables subject to the approval of the governor. Last Thursday the boiler of the engine I used.at the Southern Railway pumping! station at Denmark exploded, blowing ? Adam Dunbar, the negro in charge, through the window and inflicting injuries from which he died Saturday night. Corofier Bessinger held the inquest Suny.day. James 8. .Kogers, who was shot oy William King in Florence county a fewweeks ago, died last Sunday night. This r is the killing for which King was arrested ? at Denmark a couple of weeks ago, but now he will be tried for killing two. men instead of one. King shot both father and son and now both are dead. ^ We trust that good results will coinej from the change in our county affairs regarding county commissioners. This is the general law of the State, most counties now operating under the plan of having two or three commissioners instead of one from each township. It makes the county board a smaller body and is said to reduce expenses. : The Columbia papers state that Policeman J. A. Walker, of Denmark, has written to the governor claiming the $100 reward offered for the capture and conviction of King, the man recently arrested in Denmark. The reward cannot be paid until he is convicted as it was offered for the "capinre and conviction" of King. However, we were not aware that Mr. Walker had anything to.do with the arrest. Mr. 9. H. Crura, formerly of Denmark, but who has made his home in Orangeburg for several years past, will soou become a benedict. He is to be married in that city early ill April to Miss Lou, a danghter of Mr. and Mrs. I. W. Mordecai. "Mr. Crum's many friends here extend , congratulations and good wishes. He is - a son of Hon. Jno. W. Crum, who last year represented this count}' in the legislature. A meeting of the stockholders of the Bamberg Cotton Mills Company was held at the mills office in this city last Friday. The organization was permanently effected by confirming the temporary officers-elected a few weeks ago, and all other matters necessary to getting the affairs of the company in shape were attended to. The mill is well officered, and the enterprise will no doubt be a most successful one. The bill authorizing the town council of Bamberg to spend money on the pub lie highways leading into town was passed by the legislature. Jt provides that the sum of $2,000 may be expepded during the year 1003, but no more money may be expended iu any subsequent yeai unless a majority of the freehold voters of the town shall so decide at an electior beld for the purpose. This limits the ex penditure to $2,000. In order to spenc more another election must be held. It is likely that cotton weighers in this county will hereafter be elected in * special primary held solely for this pur pose, and we are favorably inclined U the plan. Let the voters in the township or part of townships vote for cottoi weigher in the town nearest to them. Ii Bamberg county, for instance, Buford' Bridge township would vote for cottoi weigher at Olar; Denmark school distric for weigher at Denmark ; Three Mil township for weigher at Ehrhardt; Fish pond, Midway and Bamberg school dis trict lor weigher at Bamberg. Of cours this arrangement of territory might b better arranged, but we rather think th plan is a good one, provided it cau b carried out fairly and without expense. k G. Frank Bamberg received another car load of horses and mules last Thurs. day. I>. \V. Shealcy will pay you the highest price for beef cattle, and lie w ants them " at once. Some valuable property is to be sold at : auction here next Monday by the Sheriff and Master. ; Fok Sale.?Two four room houses. Also valuable land; all in city limits. Apply to J. Hagood Armstrong, Agent. Pay your city taxes. Books now open at i office of Bamberg Cotton Mills. Pay up! at once and avoid having the penalty attached. ' The running expenses of the county keep on increasing each year. Unless we - economize in public matters the county never will get out of debt. Mr. A. F. II. Dukes, of Brancbville, is seriously ill with erysipelas, and his condition is very critical. At last accounts he was 110 better, and the worst was feared. Mr. P. \V. Sandifer sold a lot of sixteen bales of cotton on this market yesterday for 01 cents the pound. The farmers who .held cotton this season have made money by holding. The magistracy at Fishpond has been restored by our legislative delegation, and Mr. J. k. Fender has been appointed magistrate. This makes five magistrates in Bamberg county. Our live stock dealers here continue to receive car loads of horses and mules. Some lively work will have to be done this year in order to pay for all the newstock bought this season. The town couucil will not be able to commence work on the highways leading into town for some time yet, as provided for in the appropriation of $2,000 for this purpose. Application has been made for the convicts, but they cannot be secured at this time. It is hoped they can be gotten and work commenced some time in the spring. The bill providing for the issuiug of bonds to erect a new graded school buildiug in Bamberg passed the legislature all right, but another election will have to be held to make the bonds legal. This election will be held as early as possible. Our delegation provided for a tax of three mills to pa}' interest and retire one bond each year, in case the election should result favorably. The killing of Elliott Mack last Saturday night by a passenger train emphasizes the great importance of requiring trains to reduce their speed through the corporate limits of the town. All trains run through the principal street of the town, and the high speed at which they run is a constant menace to life. We trust that our city authorities will hereafter require all trains to run slow through town. A private note to the editor, received last night, from Col. Jno. F. Folk, who is now at St. Francis Xavia Intirmary, Charleston, conveys the pleasing information that he is getting along very nicely. He is under the treatment of Dr. Manning Simmons, the famous surgeon, and expects to be operated on the latter part of this week. The Colonel's many friends trust that it will be eminently J successful, and that he will soon be all 1 right again. Col. Folk himself hopes to ! come home in about two weeks. J C. A. Picquet, Esq., recorder of the city , court of Augusta, is well known in Bam- ] berg, where he has relatives. As a pre- ] siding judge he is certainly a "daisy," and ( the reports of his daily matinees in the , Augusta papers afford us much pleasure, i He does not allow the use of "Mr.," "Miss," and "Mrs." to be applied to ne- ] groes in his court, and he told a colored j witness who offended in this way a few j ' days ago that he (the witness) must have j imagined be was in tne wnue nouse ai . Washington. Picquet threatens to fine j .them if they continue to apply the titles. . New County Commissioners. , Our legislative delegation has changed * the county government law of Bamberg $ county by doing away with the township 1 commissioners and appointing in their < . to .act, I with the Supervisor. These two men wili I be nominated in the primary hereafter, t but they were appmnted this time in order J to avoid the necessity for a special elec- a tion. Messrs. J.J. Fogle, of the Denmark s section, aud J. Williams Carter, of Ehr- t hardt, were appointed, thus giving one man from the upper edge of the county and one from the lower section, while the Supervisor is from about the centre. The < assessment of property will hereafter be j in charge of the township boards of as- l sessors, and the names of the gentlemen ^ composing these boards will be found in ( another column. Killed by a Train. ] Last Saturday night Elliott Mack, a < J colored man who has been driving Mr. ( Edgar L. Price's dray for several years, was killed by the west-bound pass'enger ( train, whicu passes Bamberg about eight i o'clock. The accident happened about j three hundred yards above the depot. Elliott had gotten on the train to help \ a woman named Sallie Motte on with her bundles, who was going to Denmark. He ^ stayed on too long and it is supposed that ' in attempting to get off while the train 1 was going pretty fast, he was thrown under the cars. The wheels passed over both limbs, cutting off one near the thigh and the other at the knee. There was ] also a hole in his head, which must have ] been done by coming in contact with the < iron rail. No one saw him as he at- < tempted to get off, but his body was found by a negro passing a few moments later. 3 His death must have occurred immediate- 3 ly after being run over. An inquest over the body was held by Coroner Bessinger last Monday morning ] in the court house. Three witnesses were examined: a uegFO named Charles Thompson, the woman Sallie Motte, and the newsboy who was on the train Saturday night- The woman testified that . both the conductor god herself told Elliott not to try to get off, that they were afraid he would get hurt. The newsboy also said he had warned him. The woman said she did not see Elliott when he fell, but the newsboy said she came in the train and said she hoped he wasn't killed. The jury returned a simple verdict that he was killed by being run over bv the west-bound passenger train, giving its number. 1 4-long the side of track the earth was knocked up as if done by one feeling for a place to jump.

Hays lias been serred with the complaint in the case of Willie Nimnions against the Town of Bamberg. This is a suit for $3,000 damages against the corporation for injuries sustained by falling into an open ditch. The plaintiff is a white woman who is or has been working in the cotton mills, and on the night that Pearlstine shot Creech she jumped or fell into the large ditch near the graded school building, which crosses the street at that point. J. P. Matheny and A. McIver Bostick, Esqs., represent the plaintiff. Jno. R. Bellinger, Esq., will represent the town. The complaint alleges ti,n ivAnian fpii jnto th? ditch because it was not covered or protected and the streets insufficiently lighted, thereby breaking one or more of her ribs, which kept her froni work three weeks, and that she still suffers from the effects of the fall. The case will probably be tried at the April term of the circuit court here. Deaths. Little Geneva McCormack, the sixteen months' old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. McCormack, died last Sunday of pneumonia, and was buried Monday afternoon at Edisto church at Farrell's Cross Roads. The friends of the family extend sympathy Mrs. Lula Kinard, wife of Mr. A. M. Ivinard, died last Friday at their home in the St. John's section, after an illness of two weeks or more of pneumonia. Mrs. Kinard was about thirty-three years old, and leaves a husband and four children, as well as numerous relatives and friends. The burial took place at St. John's Baptist church last Saturday, the services being conducted by Rev. E. W. Peeples. The husband and family have the sympathy of their friends in this bereavement. Wife Beater Defies Arrest. Last Tuesday afternoon Jessie "W. ! Black, a white man, who has been work- , iug in the cloth room at the cotton mills . for some months, got on a drunk and whipped his wife very severely it is said. ; We understand that she went to bed after the beating and a physician was summoned to attend her. Complaint was , made by some member of the family to ' Policeman Cain, who went up to look ' after the matter. Before he reached the ' house he saw Black sitting in the door or j on the steps with a double-barrel gun in ' his hands. He warned the policeman not to come near him, as he had done nothing , to be arrested for and did not propose to , be arrested. Not wishing to be forced to ( kill the man, the policeman came on back ] iown town. A warrant charging Black ' ivith wife beating was sworn out before Mayor E. R. Hays, by Black's wife's laughter, and placed in the hands of Policeman Cain for service. The mayor nstructed the policeman not to rush his nan, however, but to go slow and avoid jurting him if possible; that there was jlenty of time to arrest Black, and when le got over his drunk he could arrest him vithout any trouble. It is said'that after defying the policenan, Black walked up and down the street by his house, still armed with his jun, and stopped and turned back several Deople who were passing along. He soon juieted down, however, or rather we sup* Dose so, as little more was heard from the v?w. ^Black has not been arrested up to he time oi~going to press Wednesday, f the charge of wife beating is pushed igainst him, it will no uoufci *~glve""liKnieveral years in the penitentiary or on ( he chain gang. 1 A Happy Marriage. 1 Mr. W.

M. Judy, of that place. The ceremony was performed b, Rev. i P. L. Kirton and took place at the rest- c lence of the bride's father. It was a very juiet eveut, only the immediate relatives >f the contracting parties being present. 1 large and brilliant reception was teniered the happy couple Monday evening it the residence of the groom's parents, " Sir. .and Mrs. L. A. Klauber. Mr. Iviauber and his bride will arrive J .ix Bamberg to-day, and will bpafd at Mr. V. J. Hartzog's for the present.

Legislative Doings, ] The Senate has killed the bill which provided for a tax of 50c. a head on dogs. : A number of important bills were con- j tinued until the next session.
